I guess that's what happens when you let the Internet vote on who they want in Smash :stare:

It probably didn't even come from the vote, Final Fantasy has made a tremendous amount of sense to include ever since they opened the door to third party franchises (huge hits on Nintendo platforms, beloved nostalgic franchise, characters who easily lend themselves to a fighting game but aren't M-rated or tonally inappropriate to Smash), and for better or worse Cloud is the most iconic Final Fantasy character and instantly recognizable even to people who don't like the series

Please look forward to it!

i played the indivisible prototype up to the final boss and died. the fighting system is cool i guess but every enemy has too much health for some reason and you can't heal unless you have meter which sort of sucks

It's funny cos FF7 ending up on PS1 was one of the early N64 death knells

The irony being Final Fantasy VII's infamous development history with the N64. Cloud's only been in the spinoffs on Nintendo platforms. At least Twin Snakes [and uh the original(ish) Metal Gear and Ghost Babel) was a thing when Snake showed up.

Not that this isn't cool, just kinda funny.

Not to sound :smug: but you just sort of need to play better. If your combing attacks right you'll be juggling enemies which both drains their bad really quickly and builds up your meter. You can't just attack when the meters ready in any order. You have to figure out how the attacks interact and how you can best combine them.

It trashed me once or twice, but the idea is to always save one of the caster's action bars and make sure you only heal as you're about to go on the offensive, otherwise you'll be left with enemies attacking you while you're unable to guard.

the closest thing that the N64 got to a final fantasy game with this tech demo that was done on an SGI Onyx:

Yeah, just the only alternative would be them picking a generic Black Mage or Cecil or Terra or something which would also be cool but which obviously wouldn't move DLC and cause peoples' heads to explode the same way

The 3DS version of HW is gonna be so bad. The Wii U can barely run that game.

The other 3DS Warriors games are alright. Less enemies, but being able to switch to different characters across the battlefield helps prop it up.

You should, it's good if you like anything about Dragon Quest games. Before that one the only ones I'd played were the first two on NES years ago.

I don't usually like anything about classic rpg mechanics like roaming around an overview map with random encounters, but people talk so much about 8 that I feel like I should probably play that at some point

I only used that mechanic as a example but there is so much more. Mana Khemia is a similar game (to something like ff7) but every mechanic is so much better in pretty much every way, the addition of quick button presses on the turn based combat is probably my favorite thing.

Man, Nintendo put up over 15 gigs in optional installs to make Xenoblade run better when it comes out. While it's cool they're doing that for people that are getting the disc version, 15 gigs is a whole lot of space on a Wii U. Ah well, while there was some unplayed stuff I got rid of (mainly stuff I got as freebies when Club Nintendo was a thing), it was nothing I can't go back to later.

I also suppose I should get around to finishing the original Xenoblade...such a good game but there's just an overwhelming amount of stuff to do.

Destiny is a terrible loot based game.
Gameplay is good, but the game gives you poo poo loot, you are unable to get to the max power level by yourself alone and there is not that much variety in top level weapons. And there is not that much variety in the single player, except the days when the game decides to hold your evening hostage.

Are there any good loot based action games, for PC, PS4, PSVita or PS3? (I already have borderlands: the handsome collection, I might also play that again).
