FINALLY:

Quote

High Speed Mode

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.

Don't like the battle system? You WOULD like the sailor moon stuff.

Battle system? Who said anything about that? It's the running around on pre-rendered BGs, high encounter rates, and having to look for save points that doesn't sit well with me. Plus the load times kind of suck now.

Just pretty much reminds me of why I don't usually like Square games. I'll keep going and get further in before dropping the final judgement, though.

Final Fantasy V
Fainaru Fantajī Faibu
Original Release: December 6, 1992
Edition Played: GBA
Time to Beat: 36 hours
Score: Androgynous Princess/10

FFV was pretty rad. I had fun doing the Job Fiesta, even though it was my first playthrough. My party was almost pure physical, so my playthrough was just all about grindan, getting sweet loot, and bashing guys. The good things in life. I kept my party leveled above the curve so I didn't have much trouble in the game until late, mostly with high-defense enemies, but nothing too major. Exdeath was tough, it took me about 6-7 goes at him before I finally brought him down, praying to RNGsus the whole time that he wouldn't cast Almagest too many times or that Grand Cross wouldn't turn everyone into a zombie. Finally did it, and with everyone at near max health even, so I got the good ending where everyone escapes the Void. Feels good, man.

Now my FF batteries are recharged, I'm diving back into FFIV and I've already got FFVI Advance on order.

Dammit, my copy of Final Fantasy VI Advance came today, and it's obvious bootleg (cart feels weird, no Squeenix/Nintendo logo on label, characters from FF4 on the artwork, lawl

) I was nervous because when I bought it from Amazon, there were all these "Just Started" sellers selling FF6 way cheaper than everyone else, so I avoided those and went with one that was more expensive and was from a seller with like 20,000+ sells and ~97% positive. Still got a bootleg. Back to Amazon with you.

I didn't know I'd be able to tell a bootleg just by looking at the label. I figured if they could copy the game, they could copy the label too. Oh well, I'm sending it back.

Right at the end of FFIV; I've pretty much done everything you can do before beating the game. I got Bahamut, I did the Cave of Trials, I got everyone's l33t gear. Only thing I didn't do is get any Pink Tails. I thought about doing it, but the grind is pretty distinguished mentally-challenged. I fought the Flan Princessess for about an hour, then I looked online and saw that there was only a 1/64 of getting a Pink Tail IF anything drops, and judging by my success rate, there's only like a 1/5 chance of anything dropping. Even using sirens, that's just painful.

Final Fantasy IV
Fainaru Fantajī Fō
Original Release: July 19, 1991
Edition Played: PSP
Time to Beat: 27 hours
Score: Everyone Dies (J/K!)/10

FF4 was a lot more straightforward than FF5 (although the way I played FF5 was pretty straightforward too). No job system, only Black/White/Summon magic, automatically learn spells. People come and go from your party, but you never have more than 5 people at a time, and can't switch out characters until the very end. When characters come back, they're always properly learned, so you don't have to worry about people getting behind. The story was pretty straightforward too: bad guy is trying to get all the crystals, you have to stop him or bad stuff will happen. The beginning was cool though, with Cecil basically being a bad guy and the beginning and then having to try to atone for his sins and become a hero. Then the end when you went to moon, things got a little weird there.

It was fun. I think I liked FF5 better, though. Probably not going to play After Years right away, I'll come back to it later at some point.

The secret best PlayStation FF game turned 14 years old today.

Final Fantasy IX was released in Japan July 7, 2000.

I never understood the hate for IX. I think the chibi/super deformed art style was reviled in much the same way it was initially criticized in Wind Waker. But IX has aged way better visually than VII or VIII.

I think IX is probably my favorite (non MMORPG) Final Fantasy game.

Himu · « **Reply #221 on:** July 07, 2014, 11:59:25 PM »

The hate for IX has always been overstated. Upon reveal, it always had its detractors from people who simply didn't like the art style. Can remember when it was revealed alongside with X, and XI and get warm fuzzy feelings inside my tummy. IX is a great game. Just highly flawed, mostly in the combat area. Still a fantastic game and probably the first game I got addicted to. Got off disc 1 in less than a week during Thanksgiving vacation and beat the fuck out of it in time for Christmas. At the time, it was bad for my grades but I still managed to pull them back up to A's and B's. I have no idea how I did it but it had to be Squaresoft Power coupled with Ritalin. At one point in time (upon release) it was probably my favorite in the series. That changed over time, though.

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #224 on:** July 08, 2014, 03:43:06 AM »

IX has some of the most brilliant & awe-inspiring background design I've seen in videogames. If you haven't seen Mama Robotnik's HD background art (the "lost art" of FFIX) you need to. They were doing things the PS2 wasn't really even able to do for a while, but it had to be super-compressed to fit on the PS1 discs.

tiesto · « **Reply #227 on:** July 08, 2014, 09:31:51 PM »

In hindsight, I really liked 9, but the slow battle speed and the fact I didn't find the soundtrack nearly as memorable as 7 or 8 (thought Nobuo was stretched a bit too thin on it) hurt it. It's much better than anything that followed it.

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #228 on:** July 08, 2014, 09:42:58 PM »

I used to think FFIX had weak tracks, but when you realize how well-tuned to the context of each area they are, it becomes a basically perfect soundtrack. Even stuff like Qu's Marsh has an incredible track.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #229 on:** July 10, 2014, 05:18:31 AM »

Yeah IX's soundtrack is high-tier FF when you're playing the game or if you listen selectively, but listening to the whole OST isn't really a thing you can do (even by giant-dork-like-me-who-listens-to-4-disc-game-OSTs-front-to-back standards)
