Your western mind simply cannot grasp the intricacies of Japanese culture, and the nuance of its sophisticated fetishes and art. Because that's what it is corn in the bible, it's art. Do you think me some mere weeaboo, addicted to that trite you fools call "anime"? I am so far beyond anime as you are to an ant. While you were just discovering entry level kiddy poo poo like DBZ and Yu Yu Hakusho and staring, jaws gaping with amazement, at so-called "masterpeices" you call Chrono Trigger and Atelier, I was soul deep in searing conversations with the most enlightened of Nippon scholars and professors who have dedicated their whole lives to understanding the rich history and complexities surrounding that most majestic and evolved of all the sentient species upon our planet, the Nipponese, so we call ourselves. That means the people of Nippon, that means the Land of the Rising Sun, that means the greatest modern utopia the world has ever seen. They say America is a castle upon a hill, whose might and beauty stretches from sea to shining sea, but they know nothing of the land you simpletons know as Japan. Can you recite all that provinces and regional differences that comprise this glorious nation, where the life of just a single individual is worth ten of an inferior race? Heh, I thought not. No sir, if I can even bring myself down to your level to address you as "sir", I do not masticate to inflation "porn", I soak in the enriching tapestry of the art of Japanese fetish. Jerking it to fatties is unworthy and disgraceful to the hidden meaning and subtleties of the master craftsmen who made that fan game, the one who's true Nippon born name requires so many richly drawn hiragana characters that my own mechanical keyboard cannot even begin to type even the first syllable, whose name is itself a style of craft known in the Eastern paradises of Asia as calligraphy, the most nuanced genre of true art known to Mankind. How long have you puttered around in the dark, stuck in the doorway of a brilliant world of such magnanimous awe your feeble Western mind would implode rather than comprehend? So drunk on the swill you call alcohol and cholesterol rich burgers are you that you cannot get past the mundane level of thought you call JRPGs? Even the most average of Nipponese know them as mere games for their children to play so that their mind's fire may be stoked with the flames of imagination that will awaken their inner samurai, so that they too, when their time comes, will forge their own katanas, folded ten thousand times and cooled on the slopes of sacred Mt. Fuji itself. 10 years? 20? You think that too be a long time? I have lived in Japan for ages.

Mr. Locke posted:

Spells for combat is actually really good. Magic is strong and you don't need nearly as many spells to just blow stuff up then you do to junction the stat boosts you need to attack your way through the game. Limit Break spam probably trumps it, but Limit Break spam trumps everything and is so accessible in 8 that you almost have to go out of your way to not break the game with it.

Of course, 8's real problem is that there's almost no way to empower yourself in the game without going out of your way somehow- even spellslinging generally requires taking a turn or two off every few fights to refresh your spell pack, even if you're running from most fights because there's almost no point to actually fighting 98% of random encounters in FFVIII, and you'll still want to get SOMETHING to junction- it just doesn't need to be a fat stack of powerful spells that you are better off throwing at your enemies.

You don't really need to restack spells that often. Pain is the 2nd (technically 3rd) best spell to junction into magic and you never need to cast it, which leaves all the major attack spells free or junctioned to less relevant stats. If you're using magic for offense, you shouldn't really care if that meteor you just dropped lowered your strength by 1. Unless you're using purely magic based offense on all 3 characters you're not going to burn through spells all that fast.

I'm pretty sure the reputation for magic being bad in VIII comes from people's ocd about having their numbers go down. That and of course limit break spam being ridiculously broken.

I just mean stocking spells to cast in general. You don't care about getting huge piles of spells (because actually USING Magic means you generally don't need big stats to win fights because Magic is Good) but that means you're still going to have to stop every so often to get those spells back because burning 1-3 spells per fight still means a stack of, say, 20 spells is going to be gone in 5-10 fights. And the only way to avoid that in the long term is to do the Triple Triad grind to convert poo poo to spells instead of stopping every so often to rip spells out of things.

The grind is shorter but is still somewhat unavoidable, because as said, there isn't really a 'natural' way to gain power in FF8- you have to do something janky and unnatural in order to get stronger characters.

Read one of these links, they have screencaps too:
Instructions for Windows 7
Instructions for Windows 10

Basically it's using writeable space on your HD to artificially increase your RAM. The Steam discussions about the memory leak recommend 24GB. I used 32.

You may notice an improvement in your performance--I did, not a guarantee that everyone will. This fix is primarily to keep it from slowing down the longer you play, and eventually crashing.

I didn't think Yunalesca would use Megadeath more than once. I should have realized she would. I even knew about the gimmick in advance, had the stuff to put Deathproof on a piece of gear, and thought "nah I'll handle it legit." Why can't FFX skip cutscenes?

Just beat Marilith in PSP FF1. I did the class change quest early (right after Earth dungeon and Ice Cave) because this game is a cakewalk and I'm loving it.

I love that I only have to spend money on spells because the Master doesn't need weapons and most of the best Knight gear is found in dungeon chests.

FF1 remake is so good, in large part because potions no longer restore 40hp.

Conversely, for some reason the final boss Chaos has like, way gosh-darn more HP but if you have a blackbelt/knight and anything to pump up their damage RIP that boss anyway.

At chapter 19 of World of Final Fantasy. I do 1,500 damage for a casting of thundara which also drains 5 ap or I could deal 2250 by using an item i buy in the shop or just randomly picked up 15 of in this dungeon. I still dont understand this games magic system but its still not hard, if a boss isnt weak to an item I just punch it to death at no risk to myself.

I do, its was just even less worth it so I changed my stack setups because building towards any high level spells was pointless. 7ap for like 1,600 damage is a waste of time and if I want to heal really detrimental. I just stopped using offensive magic that isnt the aoe or lowest tier since again items I can stockpile with ease just wildly outclass magic damage.
