...anyway I look forward to the next part of the remake but the overall plot sounds like it's gonna be a mess. Combat will still be great though

Kind of a random thought I had while watching people blind play FFVII and VIII

Is VII the last game with pincer attacks? I'm pretty sure it is. The Trigger Command in the squid boss in FFX doesn't count. I'm just not sure why they removed it in VIII and IX at least. It was kinda cool how you or the enemy could start with that advantage. It at least would have worked in IX since it also has front and back rows.

I also miss front and back rows, although it's not actually in any of my favorite turn-based systems like SMT or Chrono Cross.

Also I don't understand the Zack stuff is he time warped to when the crew leaves midgar? if so why? is he in a different timeline?

Without putting too much thought into it I kinda thought they were doing a bit of Silent Hill movie ending things with them both being in the same time but different dimensions/realities.

IT's Lenna's theme.

Or do you mean the FF14 song because that's just called "The Baldesion Annex"

Pretty sure VI was the only other game that had them in the first place; it wasn't like a series staple or anything.

The game really chugs on Switch so if you have the option I'd say PC just for the snappier menus and no loading times, 60fps and higher resolutions is just a cherry on top

I think Ashe would at least have to be on the shortlist for worst character design for that character, it's downright bizarre that they thought that's how they should portray a stern and sober deposed princess and guerilla fighter

My wife didn’t believe me when I said the character designs were less sexualized in FFXII vs FFX. I don’t think I believe myself any more, either, after playing the HD version for 50 hours or whatever.

Discord loving sucks. I need more encyclopedic websites that actually have information. I’ve been playing the pathfinder video games and documentation for them on the internet isn’t exactly exhaustive. I imagine there’s some lovely discord out there with hard-to-parse disorganized information that people use.

FF14 has the same problem. There’s a discord, the balance, that has all the information about how to optimize your class or whatever. I’ll never go to it.

I still only go in there rarely to see if anything's changed for a Job I play since it's usually the quickest updated with the most accurate text guides, and never look at any of the discussion.

I don't understand why people do this. I can't imagine reading a guide on discord is anything but completely frustrating. Do they make individual channels for what would be pages on a regular wiki?

I went to look up info for a mod on another game and no poo poo there is a notification on the top of the page saying all content was removed and if you want to see it join this discord.

Of course there's individual channels for everything, and you have to ask permission to join each one. It's pages of pages of servers you cannot actually chat in they're just there to show stuff like a wiki page would.

TBH a lot of the problem is that wikis cost money for hosting. Especially if you don't want to go with a lovely host like fandom that just turns you and your users' labor into ad revenue for themselves.

For a brief moment fighting games were heading in that direction; I was part of like 3 separate discords because there was one room for each character plus the main game itself, all split into subchannels. There were messages pinned in various channels, usually linking to Youtube videos or Twitter messages, Google Docs or Evernote, so it was worse than the info all being hard to look up, it was also spread into a million formats that may or may not be there later. It was awful and I'm glad wikis became the standard again. I can only assume it became that way because wikis do require someone to cough up money for hosting and a bit of actual organization.


Just to make this post about Final Fantasy, all this talk about FFT is making me want to get my hands on a copy and play it again. Is there a good guide on how to break the game, as people were discussing? I played it once back in high school and pretty sure I just grinded XP/JP in random battles by bonking my own guys, but with no real focus or direction.
