Twelve by Pies posted:This criticism I don't understand at all. Leveling is hilariously easy, almost too easy in ACF as long as you never use Mystic Cards until you get Jane in your party, and then save them all for Power Apples while you're sailing on the Sweet Candy. Once you can get Rudy's arm maxed out you can gain like 15-20 levels in a single Power Apple fight.

He's fine, he'll just walk it off, like all those dudes you can stab like 17 times directly in the heart in fights who afterwards are just like "ouch you bruised me up good"

Looks like that waiter was in the wrong place wrong time. It's not Kiryu's fault he was standing in between him and an angry man with a machine gun.

I finished mapping out Wild Arms yesterday. An interesting RPG that probably would've had a lot more love in the SNES era, or with more time before FF7 changed the landscape. It feels like FF6 or CT at times (you even visit a 2nd floating continent of magic people at one point) but with a strong melancholy/faded glory vibe. Would've liked to see it with FF6-esque 2D battle graphics, but the overworld layout is pretty interesting even though it's a bit over-designed maybe. https://twitter.com/vgcartography/status/1487046015039459334?s=20&t=XN9geXVvMEhtCUemGOo0lg I love it, but yeah the battles and animations are ultra slow and clunky alongside FF7 which was just unbelievable the first time I saw the opening cutscene and battles in 1997.

Wild Arms didn't come out in Europe until the end of 1998 at which point it looked positively archaic rip.

Harrow posted:Is there a mod that makes the FF1 pixel remaster have a combat balance more like the original? The pixel remasters have great QoL (like a sprint button) and I like how they look and sound, but the FF1 PR is turbo-easy for everything except the very last boss. People already linked it, but yes, I was the one who did the XP curve restoration.

Cleretic posted:This, but Battle Network. Dunno if you saw em already but there's both an in-progress BN7 fangame called Chrono X (fairly short) and a Touhou crossover called Shanghai.exe that has the main game completed, and both are pretty good, the second especially.

I have no idea what Wild Arms is but am I missing something because this just looks like an edited map of FF2

Lots of sprite and music mods since they're low hanging fruit. Mods allow you to change the UI colours. FF1 has rebalance mods, FF3/5 have AP/XP mods, lots of font mods.

Karl Boss and Y Burn were the PSX translation. GBA has an actually competent translation done by a goon (IIRC).

It's too early to tell at this point. The most people have managed to do is tweaking values already in place, asset replacement, and just recently someone figured out how to add new assets altogether. In theory something like that might happen since all the games seem to share the same engine, but who knows.

I'm playing/replaying FF7Re since I never actually beat it on the PS4 and I'm really appreciating the graphical upgrade and man I hate how the Hard Edge looks, like a big stupid metal paddle since it's your go to weapon for a really long time if you go for a phyiscal atk Cloud. The original game's manual had a CG of Cloud on the motorcycle using it and it was much smaller than the buster sword and it made it look meaner and cooler.

Butz and friends get into another random battle and he just goes "Ugh, Adamngolem." So I learned that SMTV has a weird reference to FF7 in it that would be completely incomprehensible to anyone who never played it. Sometimes when you ask Koppa Tengu to join him he'll say "Off course! Er, I mean, of course!"

It looks so bad I switched back to the buster sword  Later on you can get a magic-focused blade that actually has a pretty sleek look to it, but a magic-focused Cloud seems weird when Barret and Aerith are right there The nail bat being terrible is the real crime imho

I love that the original Nailbat is an ancient relic in an abandoned ruin guarded by monsters, and remake Nailbat is given to you by an orphan kid after you kill some frogs

Wolfsheim posted:a magic-focused Cloud seems weird when Barret and Aerith are right there This is a weird sentence to read for me, having only played the original FF7, where Cloud has a higher magic attack stat than every other party member, even potentially Aerith depending on how lucky/unlucky their level up bonuses are. As well as Barret having the lowest potential magic (tied with Cid anyway).
