Started playing Type-0 again now that I'm past it looking like a blushed up mobile game and I have to say that the game is pretty fun! Simplistic, but fun.

There isn't a single series Platinum can't turn into a competent beat em up. Can we have a PS4 remake of Slashly Souls made by Platinum where the main protagonist is Artorias ninja flipping all over?

It was panned by Dan Stapleton of IGN as a "poorly made tie-in that can’t even stand up as a competent third-person action game".

Korra was alright but the final boss is probably the worst Platinum has ever made.

Korra's p mediocre, but TF Devastation is much better as far budgeted licensed games by them go. It could do with more time in the oven but they gave a pretty stellar game with that

He's doing a speed run. That's a typical speed run trick - you can't get a random encounter while the marquee is up, so you book it to the ice caverns as soon as you get out of the forest.

speed running doesn't make anything any better.

I'm just kidding--it's a hilarious glitch, all things considered, and I'm glad I'm okay just playing the original versions so I don't have to deal with any of the things people have complained about with the PC ports

Probably not at all, because I think most people's first instinct when the get to the world map is to save.

Or listen to the world map music, which is really good.

Also the party has blatantly had about three times the effort put into their models compared to even Blank, Marcus and Beatrix, let alone any other NPCs they interact with, which gets a bit jarring.

E: To clarify, the distinction there is being temporary party members who are naturally seen side by side with models that they used to fit in with.

Chocobo Hot & Cold is a lot more manic and fun (and easier) with the speed booster enabled.

Yeah what up digging up 8 items every run getting 6 chocographs in 15 minutes hell yeah. On an entirely unrelated note, Bio absolutely wrecks Disc 1.

Do you have to dig in a specific place or is it just random that you'll find something?

The game or the world map hunting?

For the game itself, it's right in the name - Hot and Cold, an item is buried randomly on the map and you have to narrow down its location.

The Chocographs have set locations and the pictures and descriptions are meant to guide you towards it.

I always hated the spot hunting in Hot & Cold, sometimes it just felt like it was being super finicky.

I thought that maybe I completely misunderstood how it actually works.

For those interested, this is XV's instrumental version of Heart of Gold, named "Hammerhead" on the soundtrack.

EDIT: gently caress, this isn't from the soundtrack itself, thought it was confirmed on the games OST.

Holy poo poo that's straight up Heart of Gold. Neil Young is going to be loving pissed. Especially if they asked his permission to put it in the game and attained licenses and such. He's old, you can't expect him to understand these video games. When he sees the trainwreck that this game is going to be upon release he's going to be really disappointed.

Okay so now I'm hearing that if you toggle the 9999 damage booster in IX it also effects chance based stuff...

Which means a 100% steal rate.

Max Level/Ability Stones

From the pause menu you can activate/deactivate
- Speed up x5
- 9999 Damage
- No encounters
- One that refills your hp/mp/trance

Then from the config menu you have permanent ones like:
- Max gil
- Have all abilities Automatically master equipped abilities
- Max lv/stones

Lol, Turning on the max lv one gives you the achievement for getting lv99 apparently.

E: fixed

FUCK THIS SHIT
Final Fantasy IX is already a rather easy game so the only thing I use in those is 5x speed and no encounters in areas full of trash mobs

no encounters would be great for a low level challenge run

5x speed makes this game so much more playable. just F1 through the long rear end animations makes battles much less annoying

I used the 9999 damage during the Festival of the Hunt to ensure that Freya dealt the finishing blow against the Zaghnol (Zidane needs to be KO for this to work). I really did not want to go through that more than once just to get the accessory.

I use No Encounters whenever they start to get annoying but I mostly leave it off. The only cheat which annoys me is the HP/MP/Trance one because I would like to be able to restore my HP/MP without maxing out my Trance bar. I wish Trance was it's own separate cheat.
