You're right, I got that mixed up for some reason (mainly because I'm a moron). :downs:

The obtuse crap like the Zodiac Spear does seem like the kind of thing he would be all over, though.

He was only listed as an executive producer for the game which tends to be more of a business credit. At the time, Kawazu was a producer on multiple titles with a more hands-on role with the Crystal Chronicle games. It's not unusual for SE staff to juggle multiple projects.

Any quirks in FFXII's design I chalk up to the Playonline side of the development team clashing with the FFT side of the team. Many of the designers came from an MMORPG background.

So before I get back into LR, I just have to ask: Am I combatting wrong if all I do is do full combo hold-the-button attacks then schemata swap? Like, I know I should guard and bring pots but... when does combat get a bit more involved?

You're going to get wrecked really hard later on if you don't set up defensive abilities. Also you shouldn't be holding the button. Attacks have timed press (sort of like Mario) where if you successfully pull it off you deal more damage. You should be tapping as you hit/as you cast the spell instead.

FFV is a real close second, and honestly, I'm giving FFIX the higher rank due to its great production values in addition to its gameplay mechanics, so take that as you will.

That's fair. My big gripe with 9 is that it's like a solid 45 seconds after an encounter starts before you do anything, which makes grinding in the game suuuuper tedious.

They released something back when they announced him or shortly after that saying they're giving him a Nomura face to make him match the art as a whole.

I've always felt like Thievery is kind of a waste of time because to reach that damage Zidane needs to be doing nothing but stealing in every single fight for like 2 discs (unless you're going to sit in one place and grind steals which just seems super pointless)

Thievery is iirc (<successful steals> * Speed), so you can reduce that to 200 times (the stat's cap is 50), which is like 30% of the random encounters you'll get in the game, if you give Zidane tons of +Speed armor and accessories.

I really want for this to come to PS4 (a la VII) and for the combat speed-booster to affect that 15-second lag between a battle starting and actually getting to select an action. I've had 2-3 short-lived attempts at IX fall through because that dead screen just seems to last about 50% too long.

Everyone loves it so much and it's the only main FF I haven't either beaten or beaten well-enough.

Oh. Well that is real good to know, actually. But when do I get the defensive stuff? Post-Luxerion? Or do I just happen upon them.

Also I now have a reason to actually use the boss rematch feature a LOT more..

The two PSP games had a ton of alternate costumes for all the characters. We haven't heard anything about costumes for the new game, though.
