fronz posted:I am deeply upset nobody beat me to saying gently caress yeah Crystal Chronicles Awesome as it is that they're including it, I'm not completely on board with the selection of tracks. It really could have used more of the dungeon tracks, since that's where the soundtrack really shines. Though I guess you also need to make sure the tracks are fast enough and/or have a good enough beat to properly play rhythm gameplay with it, but there's still a couple songs for that.

It was an amazing game if you actually got it going.

To this day I have a box in my room with three GBAs and four link cables I've managed to build up over the last several years... it sits in my room, waiting. One day. (I had a plan to do a group LP of it at one point but that fell through for a bunch of reasons.) FF:CC is a hella fun game to play multiplayer, so long as you're good at not arguing over who carries the bucket and at least two players have figured out how to carpet-bomb -aga spells. Plus the music is astoundingly good. (It's just a shame the soundtrack versions don't incorporate the level intros with the faded-in instruments and the little story narration).

There are multiple endings but you need to beat the game regularly the first time, and get the normal ending first.

Four Swords Adventures was pretty fun, but some of those puzzles got a little out of hand. We were stuck for literally an entire afternoon in Kakariko Village because we couldn't figure out "jump and then throw the guy you're carrying to get across the gap to push the barrels." But not as long as we were stuck on the Agahnim-style shadow boss because our one friend was a gigantic loving idiot who couldn't time his deflections. He was so legendarily bad at it that we give him poo poo about it even now, nearly a decade later.

So I'm playing FF XIII-2 for the first time ever This game is WEIRD but I really really like it I think the most bizarre thing about 13-2 is it feels like the dev team sat down and thought out the mechanics for like three final fantasy games and an s-e original ip offshoot game a la kingdom hearts, twewy, bravely default...then they panicked and just crammed every single idea in there so it's like you're constantly doing random poo poo Coming from 13 being the ultimate in a focused experience it's just weird in here when it's ADHD gameplay Also No gods. No masters. Only chronobind

Yeah, Crisis Core had a great soundtrack. My favourite is one I think was original, SOLDIER Battle I think it was called? Aw, it just occurred to me that if there's one bad thing about Bravely Default not technically being a Final Fantasy it's that stuff from the soundtrack probably won't make it to Theatrhythm. Oh well, I'll probably still get it anyway. Never got round to the first game, guess I'll just wait for the sequel.

I don't think they'll draw the line that sharply. The sequel (Curtain Call) also contains songs from the SaGa series, so I could easily see some BD songs coming as DLC somewhere down the line.

Simply Simon posted:As XIII-2 is so vastly easier than XIII, it's far more of an exercise to build paradigms and a team in general that can finish random encounters in as little time as possible (never mind the stars). That is its own kind of challenge and vastly improves flow if you try to approach it like that. Also, because you don't have that much to gain from it, as soon as you got the monster to try out or feed to another one, just never fight the encounters again. Pick your fights and finish them fast, it's really different but I overall much prefer the game to its predecessor. The difficulty spike in 13 is so loving sharp and so loving annoying it took a fairly mediocre game and just killed it for me. Every enemy becomes a sack of HP and you basically always have to use the same paradigms against the same enemies, and every single encounter is just SO loving long. The game opens up, but in a really lazy way, with fetch quests sprouting up and, after 25 hours or so they actually finally have a fork in the road, and one of the forks just leads to some bullshit giant robot that kills you right away or something. Then you get to the stupid little village and fight Space Pope again and he sucks and this game sucks and that's where I stopped playing. The only genuinely fun portion of that game was that big tower level, and that's because it's basically just a FF12 dungeon.

You thought the best part was that crappy tower on Pulse? I mean, yes, it was clearly TRYING to be an FFXII dungeon but it failed at it in every way. "Go here and kill this!" "Now go here and kill that!" Rinse and repeat. Plus the whole place was just ugly and boring so even the "it's nice to look at/has cool msuic" excuse doesn't fly like for most of the game. I think my favorite area in XIII was Eden Under Siege but since you didn't get that far I guess I would have thought the Palamecia be the coolest part. (the big ship where you first fight the Pope) The end of XIII is such a schizo game for me. I loathed Pulse, I absolutely loved Eden, and then I hated Orphan's Cradle. I was like "this game sucks" and then "Okay I'm back onboard" and then "I'm never playing this again."

I got my collectors edition of final fantasy 14 today. The company I pre ordered it, sent it early, because the release date is on a Monday and there are no package delivery's on Monday. (they are pretty awesome for doing that). But I should wait till Monday before registering my copy, and just ride out the early access. or is there no harm if I register it now?

Hey I enjoyed Pulse, but then again, I was warned ahead of time I'd need to do some heavy grinding at soon as you touch down on it to even survive random encounters, and I did! e: Also one area on Pulse just plays elevator muzak and it never fails to not make me laugh
