tbh no Distant Worlds from FF11 is kinda bullshit, I'm guessing it's one of the dropped EMS from the first game? there's a few songs that seem conspicuously absent, like it and ff6's opera theme

all the ems that were in the first game were just changes to battle or field songs in this game

so what I'm hearing is that I should go back in time and tell myself not to buy any DLC for the first game cuz it's all in this one?

its kinda a fighting game and i tried story mode and did poorly and didnt regain any health between matches and dont know if i was missing something

the story mode stuff is a dungeon crawling thing

you dont regain hp inbetween matches because it's sort of an endurance test, you have to go through the entire dungeon like you would an FF dungeon

idk what youre missing. is it that hard to understand an ff game referencing ff mechanics

if you want a mode where you regain hp between matches, try the arcade mode

do some songs with some high-luck characters, get some potions, and just use them between quest mode songs if you're having trouble. make sure you're looking at the quest level, the lower it is the easier it'll be. watch out though because on the higher-level quests there's a chance that Ultimate scores will show up and just ruin your day if you're not ready for it!

I do mainly for the battle songs because it just makes the nostalgia wash over you like a cool, refreshing mountain stream, complete with the sounds of spring such as birds chirping.

i dont know if library ancients was in this batch or the last but it and the crystal chronicles track are my standouts of the dlc. there's also blitzball, if you partake in the sport, like myself.

Only for battle. I keep chime noise to 1 because otherwise the quieter FMS songs are just a mash of BING BING BING CHANG SWOOSG so for battle I used some of the obnoxious sounds so I could actually hear them. Like for swipe I use that sword draw chime from FF13 that is like 2 seconds long.

If you have Libra 2 equipped you can see the difficulty and track the next song when you beat the current one. For stuff like bosses if you don't have it use a Gnomish Bread and you can see if it's an obnoxious song or a hard difficulty, you can change the track with gamblers spirit and make it easier with uh I think Fortune sphere?

You can get Libra 2 as a quest reward and Gnomish Bread drops constantly for me

I play mostly ultimate quests now but I still keep it equipped because some songs are really annoying

Sephiroth is really good though especially if you level him to 99 multiple times for the CP like an idiot (I did this)

At some point I just fed him Crystarium cards, I think I just reset him twice to get him to 68 and then got 30 points or so from cards I looked up the password to.

Now Sephiroth has Added Cut, Firaga, Thundaga and Ultima (95 CP) and he has SSS Strength and Magic so he's hitting hard with the spells and his added cuts and triggering added cut off the other people who have it too

Also I found out that "SSS" means 255 or so but the stats actually go up to like 999 if you bother boosting them lol no thanks~

PS when the DLC for the advent children version of One Winged Angel comes out it's gonna be more than 6 minutes long

The current version of one winged angel is the longest song a 4 mins long

Who wants more useless facts

the highest notes per minute on ultimate is Crazy CHocobo with 216 but the Field songs kind of mess it up because they'll have a hold note with like a million notes in it

For battle music it's Force Your Way which isn't that surprising I think, then DLC (leviathan battle and Pop-Up Duel both from CHocobo Dungeon, dunno what they are) then FF6 battle, then FF9 The Final Battle, Maybe I'm a Lion
