Right, but also a few of the original Final Fantasy tracks are arranged versions taken from some re-release I'm not familiar with. It's only an issue with the first Final Fantasy and it's only a few tracks. It was the same way in the first Theatrhythm as well.

It's also worth mentioning for anyone unfamiliar with the games that the music is all trimmed to about two minutes, which does butcher a few of the longer tracks and cut out a few memorable intros.

That's incredibly disappointing. If you don't get to spend 17 minutes nailing a perfect combo of Dancing Mad only to balls it up in the last 30 seconds and have to start again then it's not worth it. :colbert:

Square Enix did not confirm if the demo will be available to download the same day Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is launched.

I really really want to get excited about something, anything FF-related for the first time in a decade, but what are the odds the demo won't be ready? They gotta be astronomical.

Just a Curtain Call heads up, because I grinded out ten thousand rhythma before doing the obvious thing, but you don't actually unlock online versus mode until you go a round with the AI. Didn't do it for the longest time because I figured, hey, everything else is handed to your piecemeal, why not local and online versus?

Also Sunleth Waterscape is an absolute joy to play on Ultimate.

Also you get to face off against Gilgamesh at some point I heard, game is automatically good :colbert:

He's a DLC Colosseum fight; if you beat him, you have a chance of being able to recruit him as a monster party member.

So DLC is already out for Curtain Call, eh? Well, let's see what they've got, I get paid at the end of the week, I might pick some up then-

Curtain Call DLC menu posted:

BMS: Battle 2 - Final Fantasy V (Free)
BMS: Shuffle or Boogie - Final Fantasy VIII
BMS: Blitz Off - Final Fantasy X
BMS: Tough Battle #2 - Final Fantasy XI
FMS: Library of Ancients - Final Fantasy V
FMS: Roses of May - Final Fantasy IX (Free)
FMS: KUON: Memories of Waves and Light - Final Fantasy X-2
FMS: Crazy Chocobo - Final Fantasy XIII-2

I didn't use or want to use Yuffie in FF7 and she was free there, is she that popular a character that SE thinks they will make a profit off her as DLC?


I am tempted by T.G Cid when he is finally released though, although to be true to the character you should auto win every time you use him.

They've released 10 DLC packs so far, a dlc pack drops every two weeks, though there haven't been any lately (maybe because of the overseas release).

She's DLC for the same reason Vincent is. They were optional characters. That's basically the entire reason there.

Speaking of Yuffie, it should come as no surprise that she's a ridiculous pile of Agility and Luck and not much else. She's far and away my best character for field songs, and she has Steal to help guarantee more drops in battle songs.

One noticeable track that is not trimmed is One Winged Angel, which, of course it is. There are probably others as I have not yet played all 200 and whatever songs

This is funny because it took me completely off guard. I thought the song would be shorter because most of the other songs are relatively trimmed, but One Winged Angel just keeps on going.

It was a test of endurance, especially on Ultimate difficulty.

When you edit your party, if you've got crystal shards of a given color, then the silhouettes of the locked characters associated with that color will be visible; if you highlight one, it'll show how many crystal shards you have of that color.

I'm morbidly interested in a PC release of FF13, because a PC release means the potential for modding. Of course that will probably translate to people giving Lightning a 12" cock and an extra set of tits.

Or remaking Donkey Kong Country inside of the game.

Either way, it'll end up being better than the original game so everyone wins.

Given that both the remade/android versions of FF IV and III made it to steam I wouldn't be shocked if by next year we'll have I-VI (at least the android versions) up on steam along side 7 and 8.

Nah, but maybe modding would make the "hallway" less boring somehow. Sure, there'd be a lot of sex stuff, but modders do other things too.

Can someone do a trip report? I honestly like both this version of FFIV and the PSP version I have on my Vita for different reasons. That said, thinking of this version reminds me of how much of a pain Dr. Lugae was.
