I have completely forgotten 12 after only having played it once back when it came out. I just vaguely remember leaving it running in a room with infinite spawning enemies while going to class and being frustrated with some weird hunts. Maybe I should give it another shot.

I can't think of a better way to have a boring time than auto-grinding for levels until you horribly outlevel everything and nothing is a challenge. If you don't want the game to feel like "autopilot", don't do that.

Gonna ask a Super Mario RPG question here, because close enough. Is there an easy way to tell if you've fully leveled up Mario's Jump special? I haven't been counting how many times I've used it at all, I'm just using it in every fight as I play through normally and refilling with Flower Tabs when I run out of FP.

Secret of Mana is kind of a Final Fantasy so I'm gonna post about it here. I really really really recommend the new remake, despite (or perhaps because of ) anything you may have heard about it. It plays the same. It is the same. Except there's inn conversations where the main three spend their time dunking on every NPC, and each other. Turn off the voice acting, trust me. Predictably, only the Sprite's VA gave a poo poo. The Girl would've been fine if her actress had ever seen Mean Girls, and also hadn't hit the valium during recording. The redone music is mostly baffling experimental mixed-genre nonsense, but with some tracks that just blow the originals out of the water. Nothing in between. But what is most important is that they faithfully reproduced most, if not all, of the bugs. If that in itself doesn't have legitimate postmodern artistic value, nothing does.

I think only FFXV has managed to beat out FFXII as far as torturous development cycles go. The fact that the game manages to hold together as well as it does is a bit of a miracle.

unlike those other games though I can appreciate the gambit system for letting me set things up so that i can just move the left thumbstick around while everything that runs up to me dies. and also fast forward through the process. it does say a lot about these games' fundamental mechanics and the weakness thereof though.

I forgot about that screen, but no, it just keeps saying it has 25 pwr. It looks like it might've stopped getting stronger around Booster Tower. It's usually doing about 170-300 damage with Mario at lvl. 9.

Yeah, but not having the eternal tension of just running around waiting for that horrible screen-blur and then the camera starts panning dramatically across the battle map and the opening bars of the music are starting to make your blood boil as the characters pose and you sloooooowly wait until you're allowed to tap the one button to smack this incredibly boring trash mob and then two steps later it happens again makes up for a lot.

Wait so the diamond armlet is the reason everything's a knot of rust all of a sudden? It's... kinda dull. Is it really worth keeping this thing on?

No, you'll get knot of rust from everything that's not a fixed item or spell and potentially miss out on some useful stuff

The fact that the game manages to hold together as well as it does is a bit of a miracle. As difficult as FF12's development was, the team had enough of a vision to have a playable build of the game at e3 2004. Matsuno, the game's original director, was also there meeting with the press and answering questions. FF13 didn't come together until the team developed the demo that came with Advent Children Complete.

FFXVPC is currently $40 pre-order at Greenman. So it's actually cheaper than XII. Get in on the ground floor of all the great mods that will surely exist like replacing every voiced line with I'VE COME UP WITH A NEW RECIPAY

How is the FFXV gameplay? It reads like it plays closer to a dark souls type game than a traditional JRPG.

Reik posted:How is the FFXV gameplay? It reads like it plays closer to a dark souls type game than a traditional JRPG. Not at all. it's basically a very very light action RPG where you have an attack button or dodge button you hold down plus some minor movement/warping stuff.

They are AI controlled but an update allows you to directly control them.

FFXV tries to make it's combat look really really awesome, like a really frantic shonen anime fight series, with dudes leaping, teleporting, and doing wild and crazy attack sequences, and by and large, it does manage to do that, but the tradeoff is that unlike the more menu driven FF combat styles, it's very unstrategic and very unnuanced. Then they knock it out of the park with the summons.

FFXV summons are the first time the summon animations really match the damage they dole out. It really does feel like gods helping you out, whenever they feel like it.
