Re ff12: I gave up on hunts the first time I found one where the monster wasn’t where the map said it would be, I don’t know what kind of masochist the bestiary challenge is meant for.

Hunts weren't too hard, since they usually say how to spawn something in the hunt guide. The only annoying one was behemoth king, because you had to clear all the enemies in an area before they respawned. Yiazmat isn't hard either as long as you use debuff moves on him and stay in the middle of the arena, it's just time consuming otherwise. But the rare game stuff is insane. It's not hard, just... tedious.

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
I just finished getting all the cheevos a few days ago. Used this list at the bottom (sorted by location) and it took about two hours to run around and get everything I was missing. The trials also give you a lot of rare game (even more if you run around each environment instead of staying close to where you spawn) too. The worst ones IMO are the ones that require the game clock to be within a certain range.

There’s a mobile port of FFT so they can just port that one

(it’s not actually a bad port but the game obviously wasn’t made for touch screens)

I mean, it was in the 13 pantheon, once. But after a decade in development hell as Final Fantasy ~Versus~ XIII, they scrapped a lot of the stupid lore poo poo and kept the usable stuff and made FF15.

Does it feel like 13 though? I hated everything about that game. Everything was simultaneously super flashy, super incomprehensible and boring.

I hated XIII and played XV like a fiend, it’s a great game that turns lovely and then wraps up nicely.

The endgame dungeon is a loving incredible example of environmental storytelling.

E: feels absolutely nothing like XIII, go download the demo on Steam

The story is straightforward and simple, unless you aren't paying attention to the things that are literally happening on screen.

FF15 is good.

13 starts with some dumb moms are tough bullshit and 15 starts with the bros’ car running out of gas, forcing them to push it to the nearest gas station while stand by me plays

It’s a pretty apt metaphor for the difference between the two games

15 ended up having nothing to do with 13. Different team with a different design philosopy. FF15 is an open world jrpg without menu based combat and positive qualities, unlike 13. You might not like the game, but not because its similar to 13.

If you can swing it, the PSP version with the slowdown removal patch applied. There's a ton of patches/mods for both the PSP and PSX versions that largely bring them up to par with each other.

The mobile version is... fine.

PSP emulator, patched WotL iso to remove animation slowdown, computer plugged into tv, controller connected to computer via Bluetooth.

I'm playing through it right now doing that exact thing and it's glorious. I'm so happy.

if i bought fft on the psn to play on psp would i have to dload the slowdown removal patch in addition to the game itself, or is it an official thing?

:( i still feel like 12's combat was the least worst system, mechanically speaking.

it requires just the right amount of player input. trash enemies auto-die but you absolutely need to take control during the more difficult fights and pretty much all the postgame content.

It's unfair to call it an open world rpg when that's like 40% of it

Playing this again right now on my PSP with CFW, it's fantastic. There's also a patch that de-stretches it back to 4:3, if the horizontally stretched sprites bug you: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2965/

You have to install custom firmware on your PSP to load the patch. It's a bit of work but very worth it.

I agree. I think that's why I love playing through 12. It's just a lot of stuff makes it play like a f2p game, and a lot of things could have been streamlined.

If you just going to play it on a phone you might as well go with the official mobile port
