So far I read on different outfits for everyone:

Noctis
- Regular outfit w/o jacket
- Regular outfit
- Formal wear (pre-order suit)
- Casual
- Casual w/o jacket
- Varsity jacket with a behemoth design from buying irl jacket


Maybe they'll add more clothes? I'm a bit disappointed really. I'd pay good $$$ for a swimsuit outfits for everyone.

These guys know what the gently caress is up. FFXII was one of my favorites, it's way better than Final Fantasy X, which is honestly the worst game in the series.

Is there a review embargo on this game? I want to get it, it's hyped up but that trailer they released a few days ago honestly didn't impress me much. A flying car and no airship? The party members were very bland imo. I really hope it seems amazing though.

That is an incredibly low bar but yes its true. More people are finishing it and just how good you feel about it depends entirely on how much the main cast gels with you. The people that took their time and enjoyed the guys have said that the ending blew them away. The people that rushed through, didnt like the cast thought the ending was either out there or ok at best, but the consensus that seems to be forming at the very least of the denominators is "Its better than 12 and 13"

Hey, to be fair, like from a hands-off perspective, 12 had a fine ending. I just didn't give a poo poo about anyone in it

I'm a vtuber expert
12 was good, but it came around at the time I felt like running about and not doing much. The characters (sans vaan and penelo) were interesting enough and the setting was neat. No idea what happened in it, aside from fabio turning into a monster.

I put 100 hours into Xenoblade X and still haven't finished it.

I don't like anything I see of the characters/story of FFXV but the game could play alright I guess, I didn't hate the judgement disk demo.Though I just played 3 legend of heroes games this year so my bar is set high.

it kind of astounds me that anyone finished 12 because it was so boring so the I imagine the ending for most people was "I was in a desert, idk"

Also is it cool if we talk about spoilers in here? There is something I want to know, but I can wait if that's not cool.

I actually liked playing XII a lot from what I remember but yeah I felt really blah about most of the characters and when I reached the tower or lighthouse whatever it was near the tale end of the game I lost all interest of finishing it.

Of course, don't know when this happens, I think it might be late game regardless caution with mouse overs. Just need someone to confirm something.

I heard there is this cool snow city or something that you can see while riding a train, the game has the train pull up to a train station for it and then it doesn't let you off. I just want to know if this true so I can get over my disappointment now or if people are dumb and couldn't figure out how to get off a train.

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



It was actually pretty cool going back and playing all the old FF games as an adult because I realized that I never actually finished like 75% of the ones I'd played when I was a kid, I'd just gotten to the end-game areas and quit for some reason. IV, V, VI, IX, and X were all games that I really enjoyed and just...never finished until I replayed them.

edit: And now that I think about it, I'm still not sure if I've ever finished II. I remember having it on that Dawn of Souls collection or whatever for PS1, but I couldn't tell you what happened at the end of the game. I remember beating I, at least.

Just let it shine through
I've never beaten a FF, maybe 15 will be the one for me (prob not). The only jRPGs I've ever beaten are Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG.

What's the best way to play 6, the PS1 port on Vita has just enough loading lag to be annoying.

Gameboy Advanced copy. If you mean legal now you can play on steam or iOS but be aware the game has been assaulted with the ugly stick in a lot of places where they plopped in new assets.

Sounds good to me. I'm the type for whom likable characters can salvage even a poor narrative but I won't enjoy even a technically well-built story if I dislike the characters.

Wow, this to the letter. When I noticed the plot was Star Wars and confirmed the combat was indeed just programming if-thens and then running into mobs, I traded that garbage in and never looked back.

There's a mod that removes the gross smoothening filter and it makes the game look a lot better. I've been playing that version a ton lately and it's just fine.

For me it's only 8.

I couldn't get past one of Sephiroth's forms in 7 and in 10 I remember getting stuck in some sort of endless loop where you have to kill your own summons over and over and eventually gave up. May have been a bug or something.

The others all ended around the midway point for me.

That's some regrettable nonsense if true. They should be milking the dress up, it should be fun, what's the point of a boy band if they can't have different outfits for each show/boss battle.
