I was browsing youtube, cruising the fast lane highway that is the Internet, when I saw something that caught my eye. It made me laugh, so I figured I would share it. Apparently back when the game first came out and the first copies were shoved into the SNES, FF2's title screen would play this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kxt8BmfpDM

That's a groovy song, kinda surprised they didn't add it to other games in the series.

Against my better judgement Amazon was moving XIIZAs at a price point I couldn't pass up so I'm playing Desert Cookie Clicker 2006.

To my surprise I find Vaan way less annoying than I did when the game originally came out, and I've given it some thought and I think it's because I now live in what is a Post-Hope Estheim world. All FF Characters just get an automatic 5 points added to a 10 point scale by virtue of 'not being Hope' which brings Vaan up to a high 8/10. Vaan even has a pretty similar role/hangups to Hope at the start, but manages to grow in the span of ~1 sewer level unlike Hope who spends 150 hours being a bitch and then becomes Space Noah or something I couldn't even tell you what his deal is to be honest.

In conclusion, I think my opinion of the game is higher because they've managed to lower the bar since I first played it. So far at least.

IMO the "bad ending" is X-2 canon ending with all the parties coming together to love each other and I can't see it any other way. I put FFX-2 Tidus resurrection ending in the same file in my brain as the dog ending in Silent Hill.

The resurrection makes more sense than literally none of the Fayth being willing to do him a solid and keep dreaming for the ~60 or less years (and reasonably it's probably a lot less, Spira still kinda sucks) he'd live otherwise.

Same. I was surprised by how much I liked XV. The first FF since X that I didn't think was terrible. The chemistry of the cast made it fun. Battles were chaotic and engaging. It also ended really well.

The stealth part of XV was bullshit, but I guess they fixed that in a patch? Either way I enjoyed the game a lot, for all of its flaws.

I played through XV for the first time last month and had no idea what this "horrible stealth part" everyone was talking about was, because when that demon showed up I ate him with the Ring of the Lucii and then proceeded to wander around a bunch of boring hallways eating robots with my unstoppable doomsday ring.

Even with the ring I absolutely hated that part of the game. It was padded out and overly long for no good reason. The villain taunting you was cool the first or second time, but after that it was pointless.

No, they're right, Dimensions 2 was released as a F2P gacha game in Japan only in 2015. (There have been, if I'm counting correctly, six Final Fantasy gacha games.) I'm not sure what's going on with this rerelease, have they removed the gacha elements entirely and just made it a single player game?

Mechanically, FFD was really good. It had a few oddities and dumb decisions, like the memory-based job that you could only power up in a specific chapter, IIRC.

The overall story's idea is neat but the writing itself, especially "funny" characters like Alba, is right up there with FF4:TAY's literary diarrhea. Though FFD didn't try to run two console generations worth of Final Fantasy games (while ripping off Chrono Trigger) with its writing, I think.

FFXII Zodiac Age reaches a million sales

quote:

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age has topped one million unit and digital sales worldwide, Square Enix announced today. Followings its launch in July, the PlayStation 4 HD remaster introduced a number of additions including remastered HD graphics, soundtrack, a revamped battle system and more.

“Thank you to all the fans for helping us reach this milestone,” said Producer Hiroaki Kato. “We are overwhelmed with the response from both new players and fans of the original.”

To celebrate, Square Enix released a brand-new illustration by series artist Isamu Kamikokuryou.

Additionally, a remastered version of the original title screen trailer has been released.

He wasn't missing. They knew exactly where he was. They left a note for him and everything. They probably knew through prophecy or whatever he would be back around that time anyway. As for being updated on the state of the world, Talcott explains that to you, and it can be presumed the guys also filled Noct in on what happened to the world in his slumber.
