Cid of the Lufain is a retcon that's massively important to the new background of FF1 established in Dissidia and also seemingly in the upcoming Stranger of Paradise DLC

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Gladiolus Pretty cool, I guess. Gladio and Cor go to a Cave of Trials to prove he's got the guts to be the Shield of the King. Fights a bunch of monsters and undead. Meets Gilgamesh, an ancient spirit who exists for just that reason (and kills almost everyone unworthy). Cor is the only guy who's fought him and lived, but didn't defeat him. Gladio wins, now has the confidence to serve as Noct's personal bodyguard. Notes: Gladio's fighting style is very heavy swing berzerker guy. Gilgamesh is different in this. Instead of being a goofy guy with four arms, he's a deadly serious motherfucker with one arm. You still fight him on a big bridge (made of stone) and a really epic and dramatic version of his music plays. Time to beat: 58 minutes in game, closer to 75 real time since Greg was actually difficult and I also took a little pause break.

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto AKA Resident Evil: Final Fantasy Edition. Even the bosses were very Resident Evil. It was super fun! I liked it a lot. Fleshed Prompto out, we learn about his insecurities. Notes: Aranea the Dragoon shows up to help and keep Prompto from losing his poo poo. Final boss is a loving SICK colossal metal underground boring snake that probably shoots a giant gently caress-off laser but I didn't let it do it. Time to beat: 1:31. Didn't die at all. I really loving loved this DLC, it was so good. Gonna take a little break before moving on to Episodes Ignis and Ardyn later today

man nurse posted:It’s funny, I’ve played FF 15 to absolute completion multiple times, but never brought myself to touch the DLCs. They just seem like the antithesis of what I liked about the base game, which was the roaming around camping and road tripping and side questing. I couldn’t be less interested in a linear campaign that tells you what your party member was off doing with completely different game mechanics. I really like FF15 and to be honest I can't understand playing it that much if all you like is the open world content. There isn't exactly much variety to that, and the party doesn't interact much during the car drives or camping (outside of stuff you'll probably encounter just during the main plot). "Exploration" isn't really a thing in FF15's open world, since there's not really anything to find off the beaten path; you get quests from the various towns and then only leave the car/road to reach their destinations. And most of the character interactions occur in the space of the story and the relatively small number of substantive side-quests, so it's not like you're rewarded with a bunch of extra dialogue for driving around and camping a bunch. IMO the road trip stuff works best just throughout the main quest, with side content sort of interspersed throughout. It doesn't really work well when you're doing a zillion hunts/etc in the "post-game." The DLCs are generally surprisingly good IMO, except Gladiolus's which is just kind of mediocre. They're generally more "high effort" than I would have expected and do a lot to the flesh-out the characters (particularly Prompto). edit: Also, I think a lot of the better party interactions actually occur during the linear latter parts of the game. I think the whole dynamic between the guys is communicated very well throughout the events that take place. Mechafunkzilla posted:Why does Genesis commit suicide by Zack after he gets cured? Did they even have anything to fight about at that point? Unlike Angeal, he doesn't! He survives the fight. I was confused about this at first as well. He's taken away by two antagonists from the Dirge of Cerberus games (something I didn't know until asking about it in this thread). Apparently Genesis (who is good now after the events of Crisis Core) is still alive in the canon and just waiting in status to awaken and help save the world, lol.

Cat-shaped Witch posted:It does have an extremely hot, detailed yshtola Definitely gonna play it then: Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis (both endings): Really fun. Didn't expect Iggy to be a Ninja (also a Dragoon) the gameplay was super fun. Very touching story about how devoted Iggy is to Noct (and Ravus is to Lunafreya). Canon ending is cool, non-canon ending is also great and looks like it would've in the long run, been better since Iggy doesn't get blinded in that ending. Both endings very touching. Watched the bad ending on youtube if Ardyn kills you in the alternate path, pretty rough. No real notes. Ignis is a Dragoon. The boss is just Ardyn again instead of something giant and horrifying. Time to beat: ~1:14 for the first bit, ~19 more minutes for the alternate ending. I really like these DLCs, they're much more well-made than the main game tbh which isn't surprising. Next: Episode Ardyn.

Man, the song that plays during the first phase of the non-canon route's final boss is the best song in the game. Mitsuda is the GOAT composer Second best song in the game is Afrosword.

ManSedan posted:Doesn’t Genesis get woken up at the end of Dirge of Cerberus and that was his first actual appearance in the franchise? Yes. It's a cliffhanger which was never followed up on. To the disappointment of no one. Although, since we were just talking about WoFF in here, Shelke from DoC was in that game. I won't lie, I was shocked. I guess somebody at Square likes her so I predict her at least being in some future FFVIIR stuff. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Jan 1, 2023 |

Yep, not only is it his first appearance, but supposedly the development team of Crisis Core liked what they saw while Dirge was in development that they decided to make him a central focus of their game. So there’s an alternate reality where Gackt shows up for all of ten seconds and isnever followed up on

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ardyn: AKA, Ardyn and Ifrit Go Out On The Town You learn about how Ardyn got screwed over by his brother, his country, and the gods. It's pretty sad. He's fun to play as, though, and you get to wreck up banners and signs for the city's Founder's Day celebration. Final Boss is King Somnus, except he's a giant loving suit of armor. It's pretty neat. The boss fight suffers from a lot of what I don't like about FFXV in that you can basically just mash attack and also dodge and win. Notes: Ifirit follows you around and casts fire spells when you command him to. Bahamut shows up at the end to be like "Ardyn, I'm gonna gently caress you over some more but in doing so you get to gently caress over the Lucii. Deal with it." Time to beat: ~1:28 Next: Episode Comrades. Very interested to see what this is like. I understand there's quite a bit more to do to complete it, I hear it's around 20 hours' worth so I suspect I will finish it sometime between Wednesday and Friday.

In my PC FF7R playthrough I just got to floor 59 in the Shinra building, which looks extremely similar to the floor I visited in the JPMorgan Chase Tokyo building in 2009 when visiting a friend who worked there at the time. Very accurate depiction of that sort of thing. I remember being in awe of how there was this tall ceiling and an entire wall of giant windows looking out across the city, while sitting on one of the sofa things waiting for said friend to get off work. One thing I've noticed is that, during my first playthrough, I never really understood out the pressure/stagger stuff worked. Now I do, which helps a good deal (though I still kinda suck at the game and often have to constantly spam healing on the party). I've also found some pretty strong synergies, like using the "give ATB gauge to party members when using a skill twice in a row" materia on Tifa while spamming her Focused Strike ability.

somewhere in a box I have my CD for the PC version of virtual on. it's gold-plated and if you put it in a cd player it plays the (awesome) soundtrack also in the box most likely is the old-school serial joystick port splitter I got so I could play it dual-stick like in the arcade

The strategies I read about beating the summon boss gauntlet in FFVIIR is to spam firaga/thundaga while standing in an Arcane Ward but I just run out of MP which makes Bahamut impossible. I’m pretty convinced that fight is impossible anyway. The one guide said to use ATB assist and use a lot of abilities with Tifa to boost the other two characters’ ATB so they can keep casting but it sure doesn’t seeem to do anything! Does it only trigger when you use the commands from the menu? Do L1 shortcuts not count? I was doing pretty well just beating the bosses down with Tifa but then Bahamut is impossible. Very annoying.

FrostyPox posted:I wish I had gotten Virtual On and the Twinstick controller for my Dreamcast Yes, yes it is, it has no plot for 99% of the game. It is ALL grind. Hundreds of hours of grinding. Not for levels, those do almost nothing for you, but for materials to upgrade your weapons. And also power for the power grid.
