Txn posted:Speaking of FFX-2. I just realized that I missed 0.1% of story competition because I didn't want to marry a dude back in the first chapter (still finished the sidequest). First run 100% runs are the least fun way to enjoy a legit great game. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If they REALLY want the the only reward (an extra ending scene) and don't want to play again I tell them to watch it on YouTube.

Take it from a guy who steals the flute from Hilgigars every time, 100% in a single FFX-2 run is not worth it.

100% in X-2 is a lot easier when you find out siding with other faction in NG+ counts toward percentage making up for the various 0.1% you missed.

Cape Cod Crab Chip posted:I mean, on a philosophical level it doesn't even matter if a translator made something up. I mean, it does, but if the hypothetical product that came out at the other end was completely different but still of the highest quality, it'd still be good. I'll bet the grand majority of us played the game in English only. I know I did. It's that old tree in the forest situation. If everything in FFVII was internally coherent and written using snappy, witty and easy to understand language, of very high quality but made significant changes from the original Japanese, who among us could tell? The fact of FFVII's translation not being great is something you and I can tell from looking at the result. It's as plain as the nose on your face. If you can't tell or even disagree then bully for you, honestly, but the ordeals the translation team had to endure to ship the product is a matter of record and any issue that ensued as a result is understandable and forgivable but still present and real in the end. Doesn't mean the game isn't great but I can't lie, I wish VII got the V GBA treatment. I mostly want a new 7 translation to see how they work the wordplay around the Sephiroth clone project to make the double entendres make sense.

I would just list the entirety of FFX-Will here as "the best part" because literally all of it is whirpool of increasingly stupid ideas and writing, each feeding into the other. I think my personally least favorite thing is Chaumi, the maybe child of Auron whose possible relationship to Auron has literally no bearing on the plot but is constantly mentioned.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the thing with Chaumi was supposed to set up for a sequel where she was one of the main characters but since nobody liked it we'll never know. Just remember: As far as FF canon is concerned, FFX ended with Sin coming back and everything being terrible for everyone.

As someone else said, you're much better off clearing out the FFVI content before you even attempt the FFV stuff since he's a real spike in difficulty. Once you finish him off, you can unlock the time-whatever it's called dungeon and boss which is basically mini-game tedium and a tough bossfight rolled into one bad package. It's extra poo poo on mobile devices since the dungeon relies on some somewhat precise movement on a timer which isn't a good time without a real dpad.

Yeah, I went ahead and did the FFVI stuff first. I think I can get Shinryu next time; I just had one bad luck round with his spells hitting in between heals and buffs.

Brother's diet: -Red Bull -Coke If I remember correctly, when I first played FFX-2 I didn't make a lot of use with the dressphere switch feature. Garment Grids didn't do much for me but this time around I'm being smart. I was surprised how hard battles can be, especially and markedly difficult areas, and how much use I was getting out of buffs and debuffs. Final Fantasy is a franchise stereotyped for having mindless battles that require spamming powerful attacks with occasional healing, but between FFX and its sequel, there was a change going on.

The only way you could make create a bigger warning sign of 'superboss' is if you went back in time to the early 90s and got Square to either release FFV on the SNES or finish Kaiser Dragon for the original FFVI release, so he could become an international figure of challenge and terror even earlier than he did. The only thing that might have even more of an image there is Omega. Don't forget to bring the fight to Omega too, by the way! He's about as tough, just in different ways.

Finished WoFF. Not going to bother with the postgame stuff. If I had one major complaint, it's the amount of sequel bait at the end. None of the major antagonists actually die and the codex goes on about this huge cosmology that's barely even glimpsed in the story proper. The game had solid closure despite all that, so it's a nitpick, but come on, give me at least ONE antagonist who desperately yells THIS CANNOT BE before they're consumed in an opalescent supernova.

Not going to bother with the postgame stuff. though it's worth noting that technically, Lann and Reynn are stuck wherever the gate leads to since the ones in the post game are mirages of the originals. I don't think the cosmology stuff is really sequel baiting so much as they just like throwing universe details in codex-type things. for what it's worth, I rarely do super bosses/end game stuff, but I did it for WOFF and enjoyed it. I just have mirage boards to master and a couple last mirages to get at this point.

The codex repeatedly says things like "maybe we'll get to see [super cool implied bit] in another game!" so they're not exactly coy about it. I know about what happens with Lann and Reynn (the postgame versions are actually Champions, not Mirages, though functionally I don't know how much of a difference it makes), but pretty much everything with the Exnine Knights is left up in the air, since Brandelis laughed off every attempt to defeat him, his sidekicks weren't even fighting at full power, and there are supposed to be even stronger Cogna floating out there in the spaces between worlds. e: not to mention the entire concept of anti-Champions, which SE definitely slipped in there as an excuse to start trotting out FF villain cameos in possible sequels.

Oxxidation posted:The codex repeatedly says things like "maybe we'll get to see [super cool implied bit] in another game!" so they're not exactly coy about it. The actually cosmology behind how the champions system seems to work is both interesting and kind of a huge dick move depending on the champion. So as I understand it, at some point early in Enna Kros's career as a god she starts looking at other worlds and incorporates elements she likes into the ones she makes, including a bunch of beloved FF characters and also Shelke. She essentially mass copies these souls and seeds them into her worlds to serve as a defense system where they live as mediums until it's time for their true super powers to awaken. However they also live in similar circumstances with roughly similar events occurring to them in order to make them authentic. So while Bartz for example will always wind up as a traveling badass with a chocobo bff, others like Celes will be ultimately be betrayed by her government and used as a test subject, or Rydia's family and hometown will die in a fire and Cloud will enjoy at least a few of the more traumatic highlights from the Cloud Strife experience and get shackled to a storyline about hunting down Sephiroth.

After taking a couple days off, I finally went back and beat FF1's Shinryu. The tricky part was getting all the buffs up while maintaining sufficient healing. EDIT: Aaaaaand now to slog all the way back through the Grotto again to fight Omega... EDIT2: Omega went down on my first try. Sweet, now to try that PSP-exclusive dungeon, and then finally beat this drat game. jivjov fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jan 9, 2017 |
