pretty soft girl posted:In my opinion 2 wins the consistency medal. If I remember right I don't think any portion of that game is presented as anything other than constant sorrow, struggle, and tragedy (except maybe when you talk to beavers? I can't remember much about that part) Borghen's kinda funny! Bumbling idiot gets owned, comes back, gets owned again Though it's not presented as funny, the final boss dying, going to Hell, fighting the Devil, then becoming the Super Devil is ridiculous and makes me laugh

Blockhouse posted:I started playing FFXI like a month ago I did too! Wanted to play a new MMO and figured why not. I have a level 29 RDM/1 BLM. it was kind of trip to make the long trek to Jeuno for the mount quest. I was tickled there was a thing to do to unlock mounts, feels like forever since ive had to do something for that. The Trusts and I even died a couple times on the trip to go farm grass for the it! Pretty cool. I’m not sure what is expansion-related or not, just enjoying the ride

Yeah , I need to go do a few things actually. I wanted to finish up the San D’Oria Rank 2 quests and the RoV quest that are in Jeuno’s neck of the woods before going back to buy spells and level BLM. Though I suppose I could level here and let Trusts do the work. I have questions but I’ll take them to the FFXI thread

FrostyPox posted:I didn't know JRPG was ever considered derogatory, I just thought it was simply a handy way to refer to Japanese RPG video games which have a lot of commonalities and are fairly different from most western RPGs. Like, Baldur's Gate and The Elder Scrolls are fairly different in tone, setting, the way player characters are presented, etc from like Final Fantasy and Evolution (the only other JPRG I know lmao) That’s how I understood it. wRPGs vs jRPGs just felt like blanket ways to describe RPGs that shared mechanics and play styles.

Tyrant/Sage is a disgusting combination in SoP. Tyrant w/ Fists just by itself is not fair. For some reason, my game keeps crashing when trying to play the cutscene after Dragon Zombie. This is on Steam Deck. I hope I can figure out a fix, this game is incredible and I don't want to lose momentum  Edit: Whew, got it. had to change the proton wrapper.

Finished SoP. It absolutely owns. The last stretch is some of the best poo poo. I’ll echo that the ending made way more sense than it had any right to. I like Jack as a protagonist more than like 90% of the others in FF games. Well done, Team Ninja

I'm enjoying FF16 alot but I admit the RPG aspects feel kind of useless or vestigial at best. Gear is really straightforward to the degree that's boring. Maybe they just didn't want it to feel like FF7R, or maybe that thought never crossed their mind, but I find myself just charging forward to the next story beat because I don't feel the need to explore or fight non-mandatory fights. Usually I'd run all around looking for secrets or loot, but that's not a thing here. I mostly just find potions or crafting mats. I was so impressed by SOP's job system (yeah I know it's a different dev) and 7R's combat that maybe it's clouding my opinion a bit. Variety amongst the titles doesn't hurt I guess. Like I said, though, I'm still enjoying the experience. Cid's great

Harrow posted:If I were to make a mainline Final Fantasy tier list the tiers would be “Among My Favorite Games,” “Games I Like a Lot,” and bottom tier is “Games I Like Just Fine.” There really aren’t any I outright dislike. This is me. Even though there's evidence in this very thread of me being a moron about FF13. I really like all of the mainline games, including Tactics. Like 13 and 15 are probably the weakest of the modern games, but I still ended up enjoying them both. 13 just really needed to finish giving you combat mechanics much much earlier than it did. 15 was a mess story-wise but I liked the music and the combat. Some of the Hunts and optional bosses were rad. Can't say the same about the various spin-offs, but I haven't played them all. X-2 is great

In the spirit of the Four Job Fiesta, I managed to nab a "Triple Crown" in FF12 TZA. Not at all the same thing, but felt good nevertheless. Zodiark took the most attempts at 5; I kept getting him down to 3-5% and failing to finish him off. Finally just steamrolled him by loading everyone up with berserk wine and the biggest weapon they could yield. Always sent in Vaan and Reddas to eat the first Darkja, as is tradition. If we count needing to leave to buy more Phoenix Downs as "attempts" then I had to take 4 of them for Yiazmat. This was by far the hardest fight. I tried a Decoy-and-Heal strategy for awhile, but that stopped working when Yiazmat enraged. Then I did the Reverse-Decoy thing with my healer while the other two did damage. That worked okay except when things would go loving pear-shaped because the idiot AI would wander in front of Yiazmat during a breath attack and the healer would have to raise them, possibly missing a crucial Reverse cast. The insta-death procs also sent the team into a chain-rez frenzy like some old Everqust raid boss fiasco. Eventually just did the YOLO Reverse strat where everyone gets a Phoenix Down gambit and the healer just casts Reverse. Bastard finally went down. Props to you all who did that on the PS2. Omega Mark XII lived up to his predecessors by being incredibly easy to cheese with the right setup. Reverse-Decoy on the tank while other just applies Wither over and over again. Poor bastard. At least he didn't die while frozen listening to music. Dunno if I'm gonna do the fishing mini game to get the last badge for the Wyrmhero Blade - might just keep my medals and finish up. I'm glad I finally did those after not attempting them at all back in the day. TheHoosier fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Jul 15, 2023 |

i'll admit that I had a bad pre-conception of FF13 before playing it, including completely mistaking its dev process for a different game, but I ended up liking it. the complaints about it are valid, with the pacing complaint being the most relevant to me. constantly breaking the party up did have a straining effect on the overall plot, though I can see how it allowed the player to explore each character's motivations more in-depth. I ended up liking Sazh a lot; the scenes in Nautilus to my recollection did a good job of painting his extreme guilt over the loss of his son. he's an angry man lashing out looking for someone to blame, including himself, before ultimately realizing that the rear end in a top hat gods that caused everything are at fault. there's more to it than that, but broad strokes that was his motivation and it worked for me. I would have liked the side stuff to come earlier than it did. also would have liked more of it, maybe some optional side dungeons, but that wouldn't really fit what the game was doing. probably wouldn't have been possible with the dev issues, either. overall, game is Fine. probably a low-tier FF, but I still maintain that all of the mainline FFs are good in their own way. haven't played the sequels yet, but plan to do so pretty soon.

Yeah it's a weird tightrope walk. FF5 and FF6 have fun optional dungeons and content, most of which comes late in the game. 12 has it sprinkled throughout. 13 is conveying a stark sense of urgency, so maybe wandering around poking into caves and ruins for treasure and/or big monsters would have been too hard to integrate. I dunno, it's not a huge complaint, just something I would have preferred. edit: i mean other than the cie'th stone stuff in Gran Pulse TheHoosier fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Jul 17, 2023 |

I just want optional dungeons and side areas with cool poo poo in them. 4 - 6 did this well. here's a tough dungeon with a fuckin monstrosity at the end squatting on something cool, or an item that leads to something cool. Even 15 did this pretty well. dev time is way more costly now, and maybe they have internal metrics like "90% of players never bother" so why waste time. that's the kind of side stuff I like though. hunt quests are fine too provided there's a real fucker waiting at the end
