Aeris dying is not the best twist of that game. It's good that people only talk about that so you can bask in Cloud being a fake person
I like the part where Cloud goes ape shit and uses the black materia.
I'm not fond of the Sephiroth plot line because I always found Shinra to be the better villains.
5>12>who cares
12 wasn't even really that great, it did a lot of dumb things but at least it tried new things, so points for that. I also enjoyed 9 as a bit of nostalgic, fantasy wankery after the futuristic broodfests of 7 and 8, but objectively it's not a very good game. Really, the only one that is... is 5. Probably the most overrated series of all time, ever, honestly.
Also, you arent going to even finish this Final Fantasy - lol at thinking youre going to marathon this shit.

There are what... 4 or 5 main Halo games vs. 14 FF entries? There are probably 1.5 genuinely good Halo games vs. like, 2.5 legitimately good FF games? Percentage wise, yes, FF is more overrated than Halo. I can't account for your weeaboo preferences, but I'm just talking objectively here. I'm only concerned with science.
2.5 games is still better than the one game in the Phantasy Star series that is good
That is patently absurd on it's face, and you know it. PS, PS II, and PS IV are all good games. PS and PS II are dated, but still awesome and better than the FF entries that came out for comparable times.

Hahahaha, this is kind of a sick burn honestly.
Final Fantasy IV is my favorite, but I played it when it first came out. I could see someone coming to it now finding it old, dated and full of cliches.
I also love XII and agree with what Himu is talking about.
It also sticks out because of its story/gameplay structure and character deaths.
XII is my fav cause I'm a grinding loot whore.
XII Intl. HD better come the fuck out.
I have no other recourse.
Post-GBA FF1 is not FF1, silly
FF1 gba and psp are awful. If you wanna play ff1 play ff origins. best version.
Now comes the tough decision. I was planning on sending the PSP back to the closet after beating FF1&2 playing the rest on my Vita, but man, I don't know now. I had forgotten how slick the PSP-3000 was, it's so perfectly sized. It fits right in your hand, and had great controls as long as you didn't have to use the nub. The Vita is a behemoth compared to the 3000. *waffles*PLAY IT ON YOUR PSP. I've recently been playing through Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on it and came to the exact same realization you did. The PSP-3000 feels incredible in your hands. Once I pick it up I hate to put it down.
The problem is without the difficulty, the sense of a heroic journey is gone, and without that there's not much there there. It's not like there's some great audiovisual spectacle or drama to keep you entertained, it's all about the feeling of perilous adventure.
Yeah really surprising to hear that from a goddamn DQ slime.
I knew it was on mobile but I didn't know there was a PSP version.
It's on everything. Even on fucking OUYA for god's sake.
The tragic part is that Shadow decided to stay in Kefka's Tower as it's crumbling. It could be said he dies, facing death, but I don't like that because the entire game, Shadow has been running from his past. Him embracing death even though he has no reason at all to die, doesn't fit his character. I especially enjoy how his ending is ambiguous, and I like to interpret that he escapes in silence from Kefka's Tower, in classic Shadow fashion, gets his life together, and then goes to be a father to Relm. Locke, Celes, Terra, and to a lesser extent, Cyan and Setzer all stop running away from their problems and face them head on. I like to imagine that's the ending for Shadow.
Waiting on floating continent is easy lol

:beli yeah no that dude killed himself. theres nothing in the game that ever shows him getting over his guilt (while eeryone else does), plus he never tells anyone the truth or even attempts to. also there is zero indication that he escapes, and the game clearly tries to show you that he is giving up. he helps out his friends one last time, and then gives in to his guilt. sorry!
that part was intense as fuck when i was a kid. a pretty hard boss fight, one of the longest cutscenes i'd ever seen in a game, and then a timed escape with some balls-out hard monster fights. then even when you make it to the end you have to sit there til theres like 3 seconds left, going "is it really worth it to do this all over again? how do i know the game wont be lenient and have him show up later anyway?" then he appears and youre like "LETS GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE JESUS"
no clue what you're taking about???
Is this thread where we admit our failings as a human being in hopes of bettering ourselves? OK, I'll go first:
I bought Final Fantasy X-2 today.
My one full playthrough of VI I did not know to wait for Shadow. Found everyone else in the world of ruin though. If he just dies at the end anyway I don't feel so bad about leaving him behind. And he's a goddamn ninja who comes and goes like the wind anyway, fucker sucks if he leaves us and then can't take care of himself. :pacspit

High Speed Modehttp://eu.square-enix.com/en/blog/final-fantasy-viii-now-updated-new-features
Speedrunner special! This mode allows you to speed up certain parts of the game (cutscenes, movies, battles and more) by up to five times the regular speed!
Battle Assistance
Great for final boss battles or for taking on Ultima/Omega Weapon again, this booster grants you an always full ATB gauge, always full HP as well as making Limit Breaks always available. It's almost like cheating, except that your characters will still die if the damage they suffer from one hit is greater than their HP levels.
9999
Pretty self-explanatory! Your normal attacks, certain limit breaks and some Guardian Force (G.F.) attacks will always deal the maximum 9,999 damage.
AP Max
Ability Points (AP) are used to teach your G.F. new abilities. This booster therefore allows your G.F. to max out their APs when you're on the world map. This should also help those of you attempting the No-Level challenge!
Magic and Gil Max
The magic booster, as before will give you 100 of each acquired magic spell, but this booster now also allows you to give yourself the maximum limit of Gil.
It's on the backburner.
....no one in here mentioned mog :wtfHimuro edited his post, which originally talked about how she never uses mog or gau

you know one thing that i absolutely love about the game is the dialogue, i always go through the tutorial even though i know everything there is to know because i find it hilarious, you go talking to 3 bodybuilder and cloud explain the game to them in the smuggest tone ever that a videogame will ever have "press L1 and R1 to escape, it's not like i will ever need it, unlike you!" :lol "be carefull of power outage! you don't want to lose your progress, if you do happen to lose your progress just chill down and try later" the game declares :lol, then a chest appear out of thin air and it's all like "i'm a chest! be on the lookout for me!" and i can't help but think "wtf? why is a treasure chest explaining stuff to me?" :lol :lol :lol
modern square-enix could never remake FF7, modern square-enix is too grimdark and the least said about nomura new artwork compared to nomura old artwork, the better
One thing I've never liked about post FFVII related VII products is that they are without VII's humor. It's like SE played a totally different game than the game I loved. Given their characterization of Cloud in media after VII, I'm going to bet they haven't even played the game.
Haven't played LR or 13-2 but I doubt it's not forced.
Why the fuck is Cloud brooding post VII? Cloud in Kingdom Hearts for instance makes me seethe. Cloud never broods in VII. And he's only about himself for all of five minutes.
It's funny because they nailed the essence of Squall - loner, who still cares for his friends, dark sense of humor, slightly brooding but still able to crack a joke, natural leader - more than Cloud and Cloud is their most popular character.

FFXIV has outstanding writing. I wish it wasn't hidden behind a paywall.
an FFXIV LP with good commentators would be really great. Anyone got any recommendations?
It's not really a taboo subject considering the series has had, well, no positive portrayals of gay characters and Japan is known for being outrageously homophobic.
i cant believe you are discussing homophobia in final fantasy. i wish i could leave this hobby. where do i resign.
The Hildibrand quests in FFXIV ARR are probably the funniest things I've ever seen in a FF game. And new ones keep coming with every major patch. If you're not going to play FFXIV then YouTube the Hildibrand cutscenes.

Square Enix sends cease and desist letter to Final Fantasy Type-0 translation group
Type-0 translation patch unavailable?
You know I normally use blog posts for relevant information only, such as project announcements or releases. However, I’m sorry this time it’ll be a little bit different:
Unfortunately I’m forced to remove my posts and pages related to the popular Final Fantasy Type-0 fan translation project. That’s right, certain game company thinks that threats and false accusations are the way to treat its biggest fans. For the time being I can’t answer questions related to this matter, but I’ll write a more comprehensive post about all this once I get the chance.
I hope you understand, and as always I appreciate your support (that I might need more that ever in the near future). Thank you very much:

What kinda strats? Got a video link?
Well you're a jaded shitcase sometimes, magus.
The library available on iOS is plenty fine.
One of my fave things to do in ff8 is to do a normal play through. No breaking. While giving each character a defined class role. Gosh I haven't played that game in years. I'll have to play it after V.
Gosh I wish SE would release a revamped FF8. I have all these ideas on how they could perfect the gameplay. :noah FFX-2 ATB. :noah Make items more expensive so the game isn't as breakable. :noah Buy basic magic in shops so you don't have to draw. :noah A class system that blocks what you can and can't junction :noah Each character comes with their own unique ability ala FFVI. :noah FFX international-esque rebalancing. :lawd Limit breaks aren't as easily obtainable. :bow

The reason (and what they gain) is to assert their control of the property. That's typically not necessary for fan translations but I guess they felt otherwise here.

all those ideas sound great! i never thought much about what i'd want in a revamped game because 1)the game as it is is pretty varied, and 2)any remake would strip out a lot of what i like because thats what most people hate.
i just want better balancing (less hp but more atk for the enemies; no xp bonus for who gets the last kill, limits on using super abilities like revive), and a better distribution of rules for the cards.
i know zephyr was trolling, but honestly i think the worldbuilding is really weak in the game. i'd love to see more towns and dungeons included, but this's about as likely to get remade as the adventures of huck finn is

I thought FF8 has some of the best world building in the series. Game has hundreds of years of in universe history tucked in it.
God I hate Esthar and pretty much the 3rd and 4th disc of 8. Yes, a lack of world cohesion was my problem. I was liking the strange 1940s kind modern world they had going on, but then Esthar. Then again I guess Garden is also very sci-fi as well so I guess I was wrong anyway.Everything after Disc 1 of FF8 is not worth playing.
theres only two major cities and one is isolated and invisible; the rest of the world is ruins and some bumpkin towns. and yet the plot involves one major city trying to take over the world, and three giant military schools for training mercenaries. just feels... imbalanced.

Not true. Major cities: Timber, Deling, Dolllet, Esther, FH. The only bumpkin town is Winhill. You could say Balamb, but it's more like a small school/port town. I've always felt the world was pretty connected. Most of the cities have their own means of sustenance and trade. timber has a huge architecture for technology and entertainment. It houses a major tv station as well as train stations that act as a connect to fishermans horizon. Balamb has fishing, Winhill has farming and local trade. Even Dollet has a sense of place. I feel like what you're talking about is a limitation of the hardware. Because FFVII and IX are probably even more isolated. In FFVIII most of the towns have a reason for being as they connect to the larger world.
FFTA
People say that and yet nobody was breaking the game like that when the game first came out for being so breakable.Two minutes of Triple Triad made everyone who played FF8 in 1999 find ways to break it. I'm pretty sure GameFAQs was around in some form then, too.
I dunno, people were breaking it, just in incredibly unenjoyable ways.

o noes you can break the game if you go on the internet and read all the super strategiesyes this was a quality rebuttal. clap clap
hey did you guys know if you get the cape in mario world you can just fly over all the level who built this piece of shit i mean really
Refraining from using a couple of game-breaking moves or strategies is one thing, having to impose and keep track of a bunch of your own complex rules to make it fun and challenging just makes me wonder why the developers aren't paying me, since apparently I'm supposed to design their game for them.
Carding your way through FF8 takes, at most, 30 minutes of actual card playing over the entire game. The other challenges you're listing make the game take much longer, or in the opposite direction, make the game harder since you're speedrunning it (Excalibur II run).
Hell, you don't even have to actually card any enemies. Once you get Diablos you can basically rubber band X and breeze through the game.

On my replay of FF6 this year, I decided that WoB isn't nearly as good as WoR, and that the game is kinda on auto pilot until ways into WoR. Actually, WoB is pretty fucking boring in a gameplay sense.

oh and the final dungeon is a chore, i used a 4 man party for the whole game but nooooooooooooooo, now you want me to use the whole cast, i usualy just brute force it through using mog charm because that too is a pain in the ass
Oh yeah, Sin was fucking awful too... that part where the spikes come up from the ground was torturous. Academia 500 was bad too because of the platforming, but it looked gorgeous.

Where in the hell is FF8 inspired by Gothic architecture? It's primarily steampunk with dashes of ultra sci-fi and then your usual esoteric FF stuff like Shumi Village. There is nowhere that Ultimecia's Castle thematically connects to. It's as out of place as much of the settings are in FF8.
The Suikodens in general have awful final dungeons. II's is incredibly boring, mostly because Leon was such a shoehorned final antagonist. III's is meh. V's is bad, too, but mostly because that entire game is pretty mediocre.

How did Borys even get "hmmm this doesn't sound that bad" from "you can beat this game in fifteen minutes but I beat it in four and all you do is swipe shit and it's basically like collecting stickers?"The FF13 trilogy is good, though.
This is why you spent 300 hours playing ff13 trilogy.
Seriously, wtf @ Chocobo riding in Final Fantasy VI? I thought I was having a stroke or something, like my brain wasn't processing what I was seeing correctly.
Also I'm positive ff6 has the worst chocobo music of all time

Put FF7 on my Vita last night. Getting the itch to replay these again.
fuck square Enix for not including Japanese va in ffx hd. shit is even worse than I remembered :yuck
Huh, the later chapters in FFD look interesting based on some of those screens.
I should probably progress beyond the first chapter in that game. Every time I go to play FFD, I start playing Tiny Dice Dungeon instead. :/
and how the hell could the original version on ffx va be worse? the u.s. one sucks because the inflections are all wrong. no way the original could be worse.

Gross. Call me when it gets updated with a fur shader.
Superbosses are nothing but a slog (unless you cheese with Zanmato), anyway. Jump to X-2.Basically this
Going from DQ to FF will expose FF as the inferior series. Go with Radiant.
Aw, I love FFX-2 to bits and pieces. But it's definitely not for everyone.
One of my Top 5 FFs.Going from DQ to FF will expose FF as the inferior series. Go with Radiant.
Seconding this. Go with Radiant Historia first.
And I'd agree. DQ is more consistent than FF with respect to narrative, systems, etc. I should do that playthrough of DQ6 SFC next year when I have more time because I really liked DQ7 and those two games are similar. I love FF, but it can be inconsistent at times and sometimes one thing might hurt how the whole package works.
I tried to play FFX-2 after FFX and I just couldn't. I thought I'd enjoy playing it, but I did the same thing when it came out on the PS2, which is be completely disenchanted with the game as a whole. It joins Lighting Returns as the two main-line FF games I've not played to completion.I can't get into X-2 as well and at this point I don't know why. When I played it back when it came out it was because of how different it was from X. It had a strange battle system to me(first FF was X), had a level select type mission structure(which I don't like in XIII-2 either), and just wasn't what I was looking for. It had nothing to do with the tone as that never bothered me.

I've thought about going back since I enjoyed XIII and now can appreciate a fast paced battle system. I also get the jobs and whatnot now. Yet, I also don't really care for FF sequels and thats a barrier for me as well. I just don't seem to enjoy going back to thier worlds and stories after the main event. Maybe one day I'll buy it on Vita and play it that way.
I get more FEELS when it comes to FF because it was my first rpg love and nothing can take that away from me, so to this day I admit I have a bit of a heart jump when it comes to new FF announcements. But in the end, I'd take DQ over FF any day. Gameplay, charm, ideas, it just suits me more as an adult.

I should probably shoulder the blame for that one. I'm sorry. :/
I think all of them are pretty good and while some fall shorter than others, they do have some redeeming qualities. I don't think there's an FF game that I can say I outright hate as a video game. They're pretty top-tier as games in general.I get more FEELS when it comes to FF because it was my first rpg love and nothing can take that away from me, so to this day I admit I have a bit of a heart jump when it comes to new FF announcements.

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I value out of FF since I've started to feel like what I like about the series might vary from what a lot of people like about it. Like, I don't see a lot that I like about XVersus while a lot of people seem to, for example. I think the multiple playthroughs of FF5 I did this year probably factored into that, though, haha.
DQ's narratives and systems have depth in simplicity and that's why I've started to appreciate them more than I did before. Mind, DQ1 was one of the first RPGs I'd played and I liked it and PS1 at the time a lot for different reasons. Didn't feel the same about FF1 for some reason.
Still gotta do some thinking with respect to what makes FF for me.
The Man Who Saved Final Fantasy XV
The trailer was, in a word, stunning. The game that is now Final Fantasy XV was first announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII over eight years ago. At this point, some players might have given up on the game ever coming out. The development process hardly seemed ideal—or typical. To many, it seemed like the game was a lost cause.
Eight years is a long time for a game. Currently, Final Fantasy XV is 55 percent completed. That number, however, is misleading. That isn't 55 percent after eight years worth of work. This is 55 percent during the two years Tabata has joined the project. It's something that Square Enix want to be very clear. Perhaps that is the most honest way to think about Final Fantasy XV: The game's development can be divided into before Tabata and after Tabata.
"I joined the project about two years ago, and around that time, we changed platforms," he said. "We re-examined Final Fantasy XV's development structure. We had the gameplay team, the cinematics or CG team, and the game engine team. And we finally merged them all together to work on this game. I think we can deliver the best that Square Enix has to offer."
Internally, more was going on at Square Enix than simply moving teams around. "So, when I joined the development team, we've also shifted from primarily using pre-rendered CG to a mix of pre-rendered CG and in-game images that are at the quality of a pre-rendered image." Tabata wants the experience to be as seamless, as beautiful, as possible. As the trailer shows, they're getting there. According to Tabata, the graphics are about 70 percent of what they are aiming for. "I think we can get the demo's graphics at about 80 percent of what we hope to achieve," he said. "By the time the game is released, we hope to achieve 100 percent."
The rub, of course, for some fans will be that, even though eight years has passed and the game isn't out, its original creator, Tetsuya Nomura, isn't directing. I ask the logical question: Should we think of Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy XV as separate games? You know, different?
"We are making this for the gamers who have been waiting since the game was Final Fantasy Versus XIII," Tabata said. "But, this is not the exact same game. The director is different, and the platform was switched to the current gen. And because the platform has changed, there were things we had to re-evaluate, like what we can and cannot do or even what we have to do. The various circumstances are different."
The New Director Talks About Release Date And Demo Length
On FF XV’s Progress:
In terms of development, about 50 to 60 percent of the game is complete. We kind of started from the beginning of the game, so the first part is more complete than the others.
On The Open World:
Not literally everything is open world, but it is pretty vast, and you will be able to freely explore. You may have noticed that they’re traveling in a car. You can technically walk around the world, but we recommend using a vehicle, and it’ll be a journey driving through the continent.
On Encounters:
In XV, it’s all seamless; you’ve got enemies that are roaming around in all areas…there’s not an “encounter,” per se. It’s all seamless.
On Stances:
We won’t go into too much detail, but you can switch between an offensive stance and a defensive stance with the push of a button.
---
On Release Dates:
During the “Versus era” – though it might be weird to refer to it that way – we weren’t able to reveal any information on release timing because that was a project in which we had to overcome so many different problems that arose. Unfortunately, while we were trying to work through the issues, the timing never matched. But about two years ago, when I officially joined the project, we did a pretty major directional change when we decided not to go with the previous generation. I also had to talk with Nomura-san about the direction FF XV is going to take. Unfortunately, it’s still going to take a while, but I’m hoping people will reset their timers from when I joined the team and restart the count from there.

I wouldn't cry for Nommy. Guy could probably make a very good living as a freelancer/indie.
- Your party members can get tired from fighting so you have to "set up camp" to rest up and if you don't they won't be as good in battle.
- One in-game day is about 30 minutes long, and monsters that like the dark and hide in caves/dungeons will come out at night time but if you set up camp they won't attack you.
The biggest stuff though is about the combat. The combat seems to be a lot less action-focused now. You cannot manually control any other characters except Noctis, and the combat focuses on two major buttons, one for offense and one for defense. The way it sounds is, that there is a system much like the Gambit system in FF12 where you can set up what your buddies will do in battle. You can also open up a menu to change your battle strategies in the middle of battle. It all seems to me like it's starting to more and more resemble a traditional role-playing game.
Also, Tabata says the game is around 60% complete and I'll take him at his word for it. He says that the beginning parts are a lot farther along so I wouldn't be surprised if the beginning of the game is just about complete now, which is why the Demo (which is basically the beginning of the game) is coming so soon. But I still wouldn't say that a late '15 early '16 Japanese release is out of the cards, since a huge chunk of those 2 years that Tabata had to get to 60% was basically him trying to put out the fire of the smoldering wreck that was Versus.
But since this is Final Fantasy, this car is more than just a car. According to Tabata, "You can consider the car like it's a member of your party—like airships are in other Final Fantasy games."
The car, though, as a symbol, represents so much. The open road. Far off destinations. And freedom. It seems like a perfect symbol for Final Fantasy XV itself. "Whether it's driving or combat, you can do what you like in the game," Tabata said. "There is that freedom. It's open world, and it's possible to go where you want and explore."
"That being said, if the game is totally open world, it kind of defeats what makes a Final Fantasy game Final Fantasy—which is the dramatic and cinematic storytelling. The game is balanced to ideally satisfy those fans who like traditional Final Fantasy storytelling so they can feel like they're following an epic story."
From what Tabata said, it sounds like Final Fantasy XV aims to offer the experience players get from some of the best open world games: There is the freedom to do as one pleases and explore, but a narrative arc, forgive the pun, drives the game forward.
"Before I joined Square Enix, I always looked at Final Fantasy games as the benchmark for game consoles," Tabata said. "Each new game showed what was possible on video game hardware." So, two years ago, when Tabata joined this project, that was the goal: Make a game that would knock everybody's socks off. According to him, the attitude on the team is that they have to make a great game and that they have to impress.
"If we don't do something that people think is amazing, it's meaningless," Tabata said. "If we don't do something that's challenging, it's also meaningless."
I like every FF, so my position is that if it has a mix of familiar monsters with sci-fi crossed with fantasy, it's FF. I expect certain things: cid, chocobos, moogles, but that's where the expectations end. I've enjoyed every game in the series due to that even if some (13, 2) flounder in certain areas. FF for me is like, the one series I special fellow out about, so it's really special to me, even if I think there's a lot of jrpg franchises that are better.
Hmm, yeah. I like commonalities between every entry like Cid, Chocobos, airships, Moogles, summons, crystals, some music that appears in previous entries (ex: "Final Fantasy"/"Prologue", which is one of my favourite themes in the series since it's like the DQ theme to me), etc. But it's not enough for them to just be there but it's great when they're used in the narrative or as quest items, or something like that, to a decent extent. I think when I played FF13 for the first time when I got the Japanese version was that I was so disappointed that very little of that stuff was there, and if they were there, it wasn't used as much as it was in previous entries. Though I do have to say that for some reason I felt that way when I played FF12 but I was a dumb 18-year-old who didn't know what she wanted and had to play the game a year to completely "get" what it was going for (and even then it had some issues later on in the game).
All I can come up with is that they aren't perfect games. They don't all have everything I like about the series, but they have certain elements like the music, recurring themes, recurring characters/enemies/gimmicks/items, etc. Those elements are not what makes me like it so much. I guess I just like it when they're really fun to play and I can play around with a lot of stuff to go for meaningful growth or stat augmentation. I like systems when they feel meaningful, and I like to break the games when I feel like it. I love that the series switches it up every entry while retaining some sort of core mechanic (and FF's "thing" is keeping the player on their toes while making turn-based commands in an active setting since FF4). I like the dumb humour in some of the games, like the stuff in FF5 which didn't try too hard to be funny so it felt natural, some stuff in FF7/FF8/FF9, or even some of the stuff in FF14.
I played two FF games that felt dramatically different from each other this year. I loathed one of them even though I played through it twice, and I liked one so much that I played through it twice even though I didn't have to. It's not that they played differently from each other, but I guess I liked the tone of one far more than the other. The tone and character interactions helped make the experience fun for me, and being able to play around with what was handed to me and trying to figure out how the heck I can do some of the stuff I can in the game with the combination I was handed was fun even if I complained about it both times. With the other, I was thrown into a game where many of the decisions were left up to me and the game lacked some structure, but I just didn't feel very happy with the tone, the lack of proper character interaction, the music, parts of the customization (ex: having to wait until a second playthrough to even bother doing it), the structure, the pacing, etc. The game started feeling like a chore rather than a joy/relief to finish like I feel like almost every other FF game, FF13 (less so) and FF13-2 included. But when I think about it, both games have structural similarities, but one seems to handle it better than the other.
I guess I have to figure out what I liked about those two games and what I'd disliked because it's interesting to have such markedly different experiences with them in the same year.
FF15 seems like something that doesn't feel like a playable FF that I'd want to play since it looks like Advent Children with a UI slapped on it, and I didn't like Advent Children at all. And I don't know much about it. It's hard to say how I feel about FF15 because I barely know anything about it, and what I do know about it, I just don't like because the gameplay looks kind of messy and automated. That doesn't sound very fun!
Going to try to resume FFDimensions because Borys makes it sound fun.
And that fuck Tabata says FF15 is 50% done at the moment!
FIFTY PERCENT DONE!
WHAT THE FUCK!

The FF series is like a handful of mixed chocolates mixed with a nearly equal handful of rabbit turds. You get something different every time, but you run the risk of eating shit.I'm sorta having this problem with DQ 6 and its probably why it's taken so long to actually get it to completion. It's a fine game. Everything about it is rather good. But really it's just that DQ 7 did it all so much better and they're so similar that I can't help but feel that all things being equal I'd rather be playing DQ 7.
The DQ series is like a box of identical high quality chocolates. Each one is better than almost anything you'll pull out of the FF bag, but the lack of variety can be boring sometimes.
Well that "only male party" thing is sure going to piss of some people.To be fair the second best FF had an all girl cast.
is the group in the trailer the only party members you get?I seriously doubt it.
"Another example is in the combat," explains Tabata. "With the hardware specifications of the newer consoles, it's possible to set it up so you have different enemies and different choices of attacks you can enter in, but I want to simplify that. It'll basically be a one-button action, and the AI intuitively outputs an action that kind of satisfies, gives you that instant gratification, and it connects with the simple touch of a button. I myself am not getting any younger. I don't want to be frantically pushing buttons. I also want to utilise the intelligence of the hardware spec, and not have to go through too much hassle or trouble in order to execute moves."
a single-button context-sensitive action battle system sounds an awful lot like kingdom hearts to me. saying they've gotten rid of that stuff entirely and then coming out with this reads a lot like the dude denying Dragon Quest Musou is a musou game.
Nothing like KH, dude. They've killed off the entire KH gameplay element.OMG OMG OMG I...I can't breathe, I can't breathe :rofl
Btw I'm looking @ ff8 mods and I see this in the essential list:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb7MrmXpdxw
It's an FF8 fan dub and it's fucking hilarious. Listen to the grunts and hollow dialogue in the opening. I'm fucking dying. :rofl :rofl :rofl
I think that'd be cool. How would you do combo attacks in that system though? Maybe O when next to another team member? Or perhaps Square or something so you don't do it by accident.
Weather has a tactical impact on battle conditions, with different types of magic having varying effects depending on weather patterns. Using fire on a clear day, for example, will not only hurt monsters, but also ignite surrounding area, make allies feel hot, and the like. As such, using magic can be a liability to Noctis, too.
Might as well wait for HD ver.
Himu's vid tickling my nostalgia. Find your Way is one of my favorite tracks from VIII (second to Force Your Way). Now I just wanna listen to FF music.

It's also a really really awful game with a dogshit plot, Michael Bay-esque character development, and a functionally broken gameplay system that can be abused and taken to the woodshed within just a few games of cards.yeah I don't get that. haven't played a single game of triple triad and the game is still perfectly balanced and fun when you make smart decisions about which GF abilities to acquire and junctioning magic/abilities consistently. I agree with your criticisms of the fiction, tho.
Also, even though the story is sophomoric, the story pacing is GOAT. You go from a mercenary mission in faux Paris to a train mission, two flashbacks starring Laguna, a witch assassination, a prison break, a missile base stealth mission, an infighting war over leadership at the garden, and then the garden war at the end of the season disc. FF8 is action set piece after set piece, and full of memorable moments, so saying it's a forgettable package seem incorrect given that in VII you're chasing some boring fucker half the game.yeah I'll admit the pacing is enjoyable, with the setpiece-to-setpiece comment definitely ringing true. You get boss battles out the anus too so you still feel engaged without ever fighting the boring field battles. I just find it unsettling that the plots of FF games start from such meagre beginnings and spiral out into save-the-universe epics with such agility and no logical explanation to carry you there. You'd think for a game series where the average length is in the dozens of hours that they'd be slower burns but instead you get a really front-loaded story with terribly drawn out second and third acts.
FF8's pacing impresses me every damn time I play it and even if the story is fucking stupid, the lore and history always keep me interested. I mean, it's a game where children are turned into pmc's and no one bats an eye. Shit is fucking normal. Fascinating.

i swear to god half of the FF talk on the bore is arguing about ff8well it's the most homoerotic FF until FFXV comes out. it makes sense.
re: worlds vs story, i think it's because most games are made by gamers, and it's highly likely most rpgs are made by people who are interested in rpgs.
making a great game world requires excellent descriptions of systems and objects working together in a sensible way. i'd argue the ff games didn't start doing this well until ff6 (kitase), by the way, but after that, it's been one of the series' few standout points.
a good story, on the other hand, requires believable, complex human beings interacting and reacting without falling into idiotic tropes literally 100% of the time.
if i may broadly stereotype, the average RPG fan, and thus the average RPG creator, has a lot of skill at thinking up detailed, functional systems, but not much skill at socializing and understanding real human beings. and even if they do differ from that type, the audience is believed to fit it to a tee and stereotypical shitty characters end up shoved in by the suits anyway.
Like FFXIII, the visual style would be great if it wasn't an incoherent mish-mash of aesthetic design all over the place. FF8 was clearly developed with no real solid vision. Thankfully, FFIX was much better at that.It's also a really really awful game with a dogshit plot, Michael Bay-esque character development, and a functionally broken gameplay system that can be abused and taken to the woodshed within just a few games of cards.dat visual style tho
sunblade, buy a gpa sp and a copy of FFV.
“If I had to pick, I am a person more on the dark side like Xehanort and co., I harness the burning anger in my heart into what I create,” said Nomura. “Kingdom Hearts III’s current development explodes very much in this sense. Each time, it’s a battle with Sora and co. who are the exact opposite of myself, it’s been over 10 years and yet we haven’t reached a conclusion.
“This battle will surely last longer.
“In Kingdom Hearts III as well, I am scheming many challenges that Sora and his friends must overcome, because I myself cannot lose either. And in preparation for the great battle that lies ahead, we have this one book that looks back on their entire journey.”
Tabata is definitely aware of the internet, at least. He found those pictures of Noctis and crew looking at stuff hilarious, so they gave out several other renders you can use to photoshop stuff with.

FFXV looks like a game I'd at least want to try, but on the surface is perhaps the most unappealing Final Fantasy I have ever seen. Normally I'm hype as fuck for a new mainline FF (that Agni's Philosophy tech demo had me hitting replay for a solid hour), but everything about XV looks bland and also-ran. Where are the colorful costumes, the wealth of unique character designs, the otherworldly landscapes? All we've seen is a handful of nigh-identical young men clad in black leather from head to toe traipsing around a very stock-looking open field or city environment. This is the kinda shit I'd expect from a FF spinoff, not a mainline entry.This is a FF spinoff.
Say what you will about FFXIII but at least the preview materials inspired more wonder and featured more imaginative design than what we're getting here.
Don't get me wrong I'm not totally down on this game, at least the music is still gorgeous.
I like it because it reminds me of FFVIII.How? Only Squall wore a black outfit, the cast was varied and each character had a unique silhouette that made them distinct from the rest of the cast in more ways than just hairstyle.
Also XIII looked like ass to me before reveal. I didn't see any sense of wonder or imagination with that game. The reveal trailer was some chick jumping into some boring sci-fi building fighting sci-fi soldiers.Before reveal? what does that mean? iirc the reveal trailer showed Cocoon, a massive city in the sky with abstract and colorful architecture. "some chick"? are you trying to sound as obtuse and ignorant as you can? Say what you will about her character but her design is pure badass. Finally a leading lady in games without excessive ass/cleavage. Even the co-star woman from the previous title, Ashe, despite being a great character, displays all kinds of ass in her key art.
What do you mean by otherworldly landscapes? FFVII and VIII aren't otherwordly for the most part and those otherwordly elements are almost never advertised in pre-release material of Final Fantasy because that stuff tends to occur ways into the story. They both feature modern tech with a modern looking cast mixed with a unique blend of sci-fi and fantastical magic. That's what I'm seeing in XV.I don't agree with the comparison to VIII. Balamb Garden has a very alien design with the holographic elements and colorful, curved surfaces, ditto for many of the locales. Comparing it to VII seems apt though, maybe that's what they were going for with XV's art design. Both feature drab metropolitan environments and an emphasis on dark, machine-like backdrops. However VII had a decidedly more H.R. Giger flavor to it where XV appears to have no artistic influence beyond maybe an iteration of the boring garbage seen in Advent Children.

Cool as hell
fuck it soon as I fix my computer I'm buying this
Nope, that did'nt help make the terrible and boring quest design feel like anything other then a low rent WoW clone.
Surprisingly, that's ALL it takes.Zell was one of two worthwhile characters in all of FFVIII. Get outta here.
Zell's defining characteristics were, in order, liking hot dogs, and being a complete moron.
GBA roms play like shite on the PSP, Himu. I tried playing FFV, and I was only able to stand it's herky-jerkiness for about 5 minutes.
PSP one is based on the gba one. I haven't played the psp one but the gba one is terrible, boring, and horrifically easy. I beat the gba version without dying. It's the easiest FF I have ever played and that's saying something. It's awful. PSX version is the best version of FF1.
ideally you should skip 1-3 because they suckFF3 DS, probably.
I only played the DS FF3 and I thought it was really cute :-\
FF3 isn't even that great. It has been outclassed by multiple games, I feel.
... It will be free-to-play with micro-transactions

so squenix announced this new ios title with kitase and nojima behind it, and they specifically call it a "full-scale, high-quality rpg" (meaning yay we have a budget now). it's finally happening, duders.

I just beat the final raid in the Second Binding Coil of Bahamut (T9) tonight.
Golden Saucer doesn't interest me so much yet. I'll wait and see what it has to offer.
I'm not a fan of paying someone for the privilege of paying them.
Either
1) Let me buy the game at full price and give me a free or at the very least a sub $6 a month fee.
or
2) Give me the game for free and charge me a subscription fee.
But buying a full priced game plus a full priced subscription? The market's changed. This isn't 2004 anymore.
I feel like such a weirdo for thinking Lightning Returns is the best single player Final Fantasy since FFX. :goty
afaict the biggest cost of MMOs by far is your time. the subscription cost is sort of trivial in comparison. i'd like to play ffxiv but it's really hard for me to justify devoting 10% of my life or whatever to it.That is very true.
they can fuck right off with that $59.99 price on Type-0. Impressions seem mixed on the game too. I'm just gonna go with people liking it because the characters are high schoolers, but they wear black, so that means it's deep and mature.
Game doesnt come out for 3 months. Surely you cant set aside the money by then?

I assumed they'd milk the fuck out of that first hour or two in the trailers and that was correct.
There will meltdowns a plenty over that one.
Type 0 is basically on par with The 3rd Birthday. The first hour is a bunch of heavy, mature, violent stuff for a Final Fantasy game, and that's what they've been stuffing the trailers with, but the nosedive is pretty evident after that.
Shit, unless they fixed it the game is basically missing the last third or so of its story (think Xenogears).

Gau is broken with the right rages. In fact, most characters in VI are broken. Not sure what Demi is on about.
I wouldn't worry too much about getting certain types of rages; just send him out a handful of times and he should get enough decent abilities to get him thru the few times you'll have to use him.

I'm talking about 6 being garbage
He's not wrong. I mean, beyond the nostalgia, world of balance isn't good at all. It's as linear as ff4 or 10, it takes forever to get Magic, the esper system is :trash it's as easy if not easier than VII. What saves VI is the world of ruin and its non linearity imo. It just isn't that good to me anymore. Shame because it's a special game to me. At this point I'd rather just replay CT if I get the hankering for an snes era linear Square rpg. So Demi is half right.
:lol it's not a bad game, joe
Religion is just such a boring topic, but it makes sense maybe for angsty teens
Final Fantasy VII.
The overworld in a Final Fantasy game should always be presented to the player within an hour of play. But in FF7 you have to go through a way-too-long, way-too-linear Midgar section to see it for the first time.
It's a shame, because the overworld is one of the most mindblowingly innovative parts of the game. Everywhere else in the game just has movement on a 2D flat plane, not really very different than the game's 2D predecessors. But the overworld was different - this was the first FF where you could walk around an overworld with a full 3D camera, with full 3D movement.
I've attempted getting through the initial Midgar section so many times in the past and always quit before finishing. The main reason I played FF 1-6 was the sense of a vast world to explore. In my favorite FF, FFIV, you get to see the overworld within minutes. Contrast that to the hours in FFVII.
Because of this, it wasn't until relatively recently, on my most recent play attempt of FF7, that I finally got far enough to see the overworld. It really shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Midgar felt like one long corridor, and that mislead me to think the rest of the game would be like that (It isn't).
the kicker for FFX HD PS4 is that you can toggle back to the original OST. and some nicer assets + IQ. coming out on may 12th. they got me again.:beli
someone please help me before I blow all my monies on theatrhythm dlc
Good port, I played X2 on it just fine.Word, that's the one I mainly want to play on there anyways
How's the FFX/X-2 HD Collection on the Vita? I have Gamestop credit to kill and I could basically get it for "free"
My favorite Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae.idiots usually do.
I do not like ranking games. I will just say I am one of those who firmly believe the series started for serious with VII.
Order is XIII > LR > XIII-2 for me.Kagari's SUPER SECRET SOURCE says this rumor is fake, unsurprisingly.Fuck that bitch.
SpeedStats tell yer friend to read PM thanks.
speedstats, if you want a challenge for FFIII & IV, I'd recommend the DS versions.
Please refrain from using that word...Order is XIII > LR > XIII-2 for me.Kagari's SUPER SECRET SOURCE says this rumor is fake, unsurprisingly.Fuck that bitch.
As for FF3, I kinda don't want to touch the DS version with a 10 metre stick, haha. I'm a bit more partial to FF3 FC. The soundtrack, in my opinion, is better than the DS version's, it's faster and more balanced, has better enemy distribution/class/stat distribution, and it has great tilesets and spritework for its time. Plus I'm a bit bummed that you can't do the mail thing in the DS version anymore since the wifi is down now.

FFIII DS was my first exposure to the game so I'm a bit partial to it. I remember playing it and was a bit surprised that it was quite a "challenge" compared to past/future FF games games I've played (And in hindsight, not until IV DS and hard mode on LR)
I later played the PSP version and thought it was alright - but something about the aesthetics was turning me off (could be it was bloomed up compared to the DS version). I knew enough moon to get by the Famicom version also. It was alright. I do prefer the sountrack on the Famicom version
Oh, I forgot they ported it to the PSP/iOS/Steam, too. Man, these games get ported so much lately that I keep forgetting that some of them are on Steam / PSN / iOS now, lol. Did they do any stat rebalancing, speeding up, or anything? Or is it just graphical touch-ups?
If you have any suggestions for spinoffs to add on, my ears are open. A friend of mine finally played 4 Heroes of Light this year and since he talked about it for a while, I started to feel like I should replay it. I enjoyed it, despite the inventory being small.
Did you go back and find a post from 2012 just to say that? You weren't kidding about creeping, were you?That one time Rahx got called out for misogynistic slur stayed on my mind because that was literally the only time I saw a moderator of The Bore calling out a member after years of lurking.
III PC version is just a port of the DS version IIRC. The real idiocy here is that the IV PC port is a port of the mobile version which was a port of the DS version.
4HoL was pretty forgettable imo. I seriously forgot what happened in that game. It's a safe bet to say something about crystals is occurring in that game. heh
For spinoffs, I usually tell people to check out the Crystal Chronicles series. The original on the GameCube and Echoes of Time on the DS/Wii are my favorites.
Crystal Chronicles series never gets the love it needs.
Go for broke. Play spinoffs too.
:rejoice Crystal Bearers

(tho WHERE ARE THE DAMN FF8 LEVELS IN RK)
thanks! right now the game has mostly centered around ff7 and I want them to switch it up some. that game is almost twenty years old and I'd like to think it doesn't hold the same monopoly in popularity as it used, on account of younger fans of the series.
Mystic Quest's music is hot.

By one of my fave composers of all time... who doesn't work in game composition anymore. Oh well. Rudra no Hihou is my fave soundtrack of his.
3D version cut some stuff out compared to the 2D one, particularly the "Challenge Dungeons". All the cameo bosses in the final chapter have been axed as well. Unsure if the super boss Proto Babil is in still as well.
They changed how the Band system works as well. Instead of experimenting, you simply learn them after so many battles, as long as you use the party required in said battles. Bands can also be leveld up to be stronger.
Theres probably other things. But if you havent played After Years its a good entry. I'd much rather just play PSP ver.
https://youtu.be/0G5tD8zSjNoIts from the PSP version.
new intro for Steam release of the After Years remake
Or you can just pick a better way to spend your time than playing The After Years.
I noticed that the PLD in that video did Shield Lob > Riot Blade > New skill. Makes me wonder if Shield Lob is being made to work as a combo starter like Fast Blade.
Also nine people in that party, though that's probably just a flair for the trailer. Who would have a summoner in the party in the first place? :teehee
I think what they showed off was the buff before the flare, not the flare itself. That looked like the normal ass one, hence why they didn't focus too much on it.
Really wanna know what that huge shield the paladin did was though. :drool I'm all about that extra mitigation.
he came back from the grave to do the SaGa 3 DS remake soundtrack!

Been playing FF Type-0 HD a lot lately. I played a bit of the PSP game a while back, but not enough to really get a feel for it.
Pros:
World map!
Very different plotline for a FF game.
Battle system is fun once I figured it out.
Some of the music is gorgeous. Love the interpretation of the FF theme.
Cons:
Oh god the camera. Who thought this was acceptable?
Could you make using items any more convoluted?
Inconsistent remaster. Some stuff looks really nice while others look like they were ported straight from the PSP game.
The camera pans ridiculously fast and they added an HD motion blur effect to it. It's migraine inducing at times.
What server are you on?
stuff
My static was a noshow :-\
so what is the good way to level up? I'm tempted against my better judgement to play the game again someday

Speedstats plays the Japanese version, but I play the English one yeah. You'll be waiting a long while for FF12 dungeons, but 13 should be in the next content patch.
Why is there no PSN version of 12 for PS Triple. :stahp
Same reason the PSP versions of 1 and 2 aren't available digitally. :-\
I hope there's a remaster or something announced by the time I get to FF12. Would be a pain to have to buy another PS2 just to play that game.

What exactly is the reason for the PSP versions of 1 and 2 (the Anniversary editions) not being on PSN? I'd really love to play those on my Vita.
FF fans hate change; which begs the question, why aren't they Dragon Quest fans instead?

Is it really the fifth time,hmm... PS2, PS3, Vita, PS4... wiki says that's it for releases. Still kind of a lot. Do people like X that much or is it just the most well received thing that is easily ported?

Mechanically it's one of the least punishing FFs so babbies who suck at vidcons lap it up.
It's been about 13 years since I last played it. Why not replay it?
I find myself buying a lot of remakes this generation because I missed out on a lot the past two generations. Being broke/cheap does that to you.
Also I bet you anything the FFXIII trilogy is going to get remade on the PS4 as well. Final Fantasy XVI will probably be an iOS game and SE knows there are a couple million people who'd replay a game they just played a couple of years ago.
Looks like the PS4 version of FFX HD has uh, issues. Way to go square.

how come ff7 fans never rewrote the script into something readable
and how come squeenix didn't either

I wanted to get my linkshell group together to beat T9 and maybe even final coil, but one person in the group is basically keeping the whole thing from coming together.
Guess I'm pugging that shit on my own. I've got an 130 Tank and almost i130 Ninja, I'm sure I'll manage.
Golden saucer is already in there. :yeshrug
Oh, I just remembered that I beat FF4 as part of the series playthrough thing. It was... FF4. Good music, really boring on a repeat playthrough, really easy overall. Played the Advance version with the super annoying font and weird overworld sprites. They messed up Zeromus' script and all he does is back to back Big Bang > Black Hole with nothing in between. zzzzz game.
told you WoR owns Speed, but yeah FF6 is pretty blah. WoB sucks.
It's just like what Oscar said: the pacing is awful. When you finally get to WoR, and can do what you want and choose who you want to get/which order you want to do it in since the game's balanced enough for that, it feels much better since it's kinda like FF3/FF5 where much of what happens after you get the boat/airship is semi-dictated by you. I'm a bit surprised I like WoR more coming out of that. I used to not like it very much.
FF12 remake/remaster announced at Distant Worlds. About fuckin' time.

WOOO HELL YEAH HUNTS HERE I COME
WHEN IS GAMESCOM
what happened? last I heard was that they confirmed it was gonna be 2016
I'm really getting tired of Tabata's reasoning for all these changes....
Basically there are 0 reasons for him to be taking out characters or let alone making clones of the same character with a different name to replace the old one. He is self inserting himself so hard in this game that it should be considered borderline rape. If the new trailer isn't proof enough of his self-inserting, anything to do with Luna/Stella is.
I miss Nomura's vision of this game... That's the game I wanted. ._.
so this means that fans that'll end up disappointed with ff15 will forever be going "just think of what the game coulda been like!" despite the fact that the old team could never get their shit together enough to deliver a finished product?Yeah man, imagine if XII had actually been finished, or Wind Waker for that matter. Eh.
crisis core was a great game gtfo
fun combat system, entertaining story aside from genesis, amazing graphics and soundtrack. it also did a fantastic job of keeping the same balance of somber and goofy that the original had, with lots of silly minigames and whatnot. my favorite ff pre/sequel after 10-2.
Nearing the end of FFXIII, about to finish chapter 12, do all the hunts I haven't done, and then beat the last boss in chapter 13.
Going back to the game when you're on Chapter 11 almost washes the first 20 hours out of your mouth. I've had a blast for the past 30 hours playing the game, doing a lot of hunting missions, acquiring/upgrading the best weapons for the three characters I use the most (Hope, Vanille, Lightning), upgrading and dismantling items to get haste boots and shit that charges the ATB gauge.
It's almost unbelievable that such a great game is hidden behind 20 hours of thumb twiddling and terrible storytelling fuckery. That's been the consensus for a long time now, but I'm surprised how fun FFXIII is, and could've been.
Type-0 and Crisis Core are great games.
The game part of The 3rd Birthday was good. Everything around it... not so much.

sunblade what ff14 server do you and speedstats play on? I'm on Hyperion
MMOs really need to figure out how to dispense with the fragmented shard worlds thing ... like imagine if you had to go around asking your friends "which facebook server are you on" and have to choose between which group of friends/stalking targets you liked better.
According to my Steam account I put in 52 hours during my free month of FFXIV, but at least a day or more of that was downloading patches. I signed up on the same server as my younger brother but I always felt bad having him do dungeons with me since most of his classes were so much higher. He wants me to play more but I haven't felt compelled to pay for any more time and its been like 2 weeks since my free month ended.

Could have asked us to help out as well. We were gonna do Sastasha with you the one time when your brother that you were at the level to do it but weren't at 15 yet. :P
I'm nearly to the end of the base game content in FFXIV (Level 46, like 9 more Main Scenario Quests to go)
I've made it here in 2 months of casual play with a toddler; if you game like a boss I'm sure you can hit base cap (Level 50) in a month.
Definitely the best Final Fantasy game since the PlayStation 1 era. Full of fanservice that's not annoying, a decent (if not great) story, and it's just FUN.
You can play it as a solo game, more or less; Dungeon and Duty finder makes it easy-peasy to join up with others for dungeons when necessary.
In conclusion FUCK FINAL FANTASY XV
the best part is that now they've updated every other Final Fantasy so now all they have left to rerelease is 12. hd release imminent motherfuckersWould be nice, but that's also the one that looks stellar on PCSX2 already.
The uncompressed CG cutscenes look great. I wish they'd rescan the original art for the 2D pre-rendered environments, but from that trailer they're still using the low res versions. IX has long been towards the top among FF games for me. It's safe to assume they'll provide a speed-up option and maybe an option to turn off random encounters. If so this version may confirm its spot as my favorite FF.

lol endgame is still the same with collecting those tokens. a lot of the level 50 multilayer stuff is hard to get in to bc a lot of players moved on to the expansion. you can't actually start the expansion tho until you finish the main quest AND the story of all five of the updates they released. it's annoying.ok yeah I saw you mention that, but can I ignore the previous level 50 equipment and just go into that stuff with normal gear?
Guess what!
Final Fantasy VII Remake Producer Says 2016 Will Still Be A Year Of Preparations
http://www.siliconera.com/2016/01/04/final-fantasy-vii-remake-producer-says-2016-will-still-be-a-year-of-preparations
oh and please play the psp or ios version bc the translation for ps1 is liquid garbage
Auto Potion is pretty OP, definitely get that on your characters. When you start buying XPotions by the handful, all damage is pretty neglible.
FFT is a game that can be difficult if you don't really learn how to play it well. (I got stuck in that castle with that notorious boss and couldn't escape and had to restart the whole game) but once you figure out the game it becomes hella easy.
So only the beginning of the game is confirmed open world, rest is more linearI think people are kind of over blowing that statement.
FF13 reversus
yes i play the game and fucking love it what are your questionsMy char is now a level 51 PLD, and I've been gone for a year or so, and completely forgot how to work this job.
if you're not doing heavensward yet then old strategies still apply so the guide should work fine. don't worry about damage bc you're a tank. you might want to practice with some fates or something first.This is more helpful than what others have told me, so thank you very much!
the max i level for gear in 2.x is like 130. do activities that give you tomestones of poetics like daily roulettes, then go to mor dhona and talk to one of the women near the top of the hill to use the tomes to buy ironworks gear. that'll get you closer to i120 so you can do all the 2.x dungeons and bosses. might as well take your time because you'll need to do all the many many story quests before you can get to Ishgard and heavensward.
An update adding 4K and HDR support will be released alongside the game on November 29, but they want to release an update that has been optimized a bit more at a later date. They want to release another PlayStation 4 Pro update in December as well, which aims to implement support for 1080p at 60 frames per second on HDTVs. They’re currently at the tuning stage, but have it running roughly between 40 and 50 frames per second.
