Though in the NES version even 1-2 extra levels can be a huge power boost for melee damage later on. Especially with Masters. They're hella different dude, go do it!

I may be crazy (I am) but I am really, really having fun with FFVI snes. I haven’t played it in a long time. (Technically the PS version but still) and I swear there’s something missing in the Advance version. It feels too easy to me. I played FF6A a few years ago and kinda just shrugged and it made me sad because this was such a big game for me growing up and I feared I didn’t like it anymore. I thought it was boring as gently caress. But here I am enjoying the snes version to bloody death and it makes no sense. Is there that much of a disparity between snes and advance versions? That’s not to say FF6 snes is hard it wasn’t as boring as what I played in the advance version. Am I alone?

It’s almost like this genre has always been niche other than a few outliers that stood out more for their presentational qualities.

Evil Fluffy posted:I got that remake as a gift when I got my PS2 and to this day I've never played it because I'd played the original (with a bad fan translation) long ago. Please take the time to play it, the game is both very different and very good. But keep in mind that the game refuses to explain anything and your first time playing it will be pretty aimless if you don't have a guide of some kind handy.

Himuro posted:On the bright side...we still have DQ. Giving someone an extra dozen speed is noticeable. Doubling their speed (or more) means their base ATB regen is now at least as fast as when you Haste them, and when you Haste them you end up in Chrono Trigger-esque "the combat ticked once, Chrono can act again" territory. You could technically save with Terra in Narshe, run through the game, level up everyone with espers to jack their stats to crazy levels, then die and have an entire run of the game with everyone having ridiculous stats from the get-go too. ...I think. Maybe you need to save with Locke so that everyone's stats are loaded fully via the generic moogles that come along with Mog to protect Terra? At that point you might as well just game genie their stats.  CeallaSo posted:Please take the time to play it, the game is both very different and very good. I have no idea where it is. If it's not in a drawer in a dresser at my parents' place then it's probably lost to the abyss. My PS2 is in my closet but if I play a PS2 game I'm probably just going to try and run it in an emulator to save time when grinding.

Good news, grinding is actively discouraged by the battle system in Romancing SaGa. Every combat progresses your Battle Rank, which causes progressively more powerful enemies to appear. Your best bet is to balance combat with weaker enemies (who provide a lower chance of stat gains and tech sparking) against combat with stronger enemies (who give greater bonuses but will gently caress you up if you're not strong enough).

Not even remotely, and it wouldn't really be cultural appropriation anyway on account of it's a Japanese-developed game. Stop taking the shitposting so seriously, geez.

I bought Romancing SaGa ps2 once. Fought a bunch of green lizards that were impossible to beat so I changed my character. Went to some snow place and got bored and sold it. Have SaGa 2 or whatever it is on iOS. Love the idea of it but the execution is kind of boring. Mean to go back to it.

Magic is the most important stat on every character in FFVI because the Magic command is categorically better than any individual’s unique skill. Also, Cyan is the worst character because the opportunity cost for his unique skill is ATB time during which the rest of your team cannot act.

I tried to take a glance at whether or not I should sell all my loot in XII ZA and holy poo poo it looks like there's some big complicated bizarre (hhaaaahh!) system. Um, is there a simple plan I can do for that for being middle ground just playing? I don't wanna totally screw myself out of gear, but I don't wanna sperg out on printed lists for minmaxing or anything at least until a second playthrough like next year or something. Can I just sell everything classified as loot willy nilly and buy stuff as it pops up in the bazaar, or is there a crafting system etc. that comes up to save for? I'm still real early, just did the thing to charge a sunstone, and have a few element-named stones that sound like keepers.

There are two things to know 1) There is a hunt reward called great serpentskin. It does nothing if sold to the bazaar but is used in a quest. Said quest is a string of gotcha bullshit that lets you continue even if you dont do the extra things it wanted. you just miss out on a duplicate of a good item that you likely have already had at least one of for a long time by the time you do the quest. If you want to get that reward, get a guide and dont sell the great serpentskin. 2) You can very slightly game the system to unlock multiple items at one time. This really only matters for high-end items and good news; you can steal all of those from the trials mode. Just sell whatever you want.

Fun Fact: George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series was a major influence on FFXII. The opening section of the game with Reks follows the structure of the PoV character of Will in the prologue of A Game of Thrones.

I'm playing ZA at the minute too though I played the original PS2 game also! You can sell any loot bar the great serpentskin like an above poster mentioned. Really the only guide you need if you're concerned about missing stuff is one for the sidequests because a lot of them you'll easily miss and are either timewindowed or give loot that is only good when you complete them when they appear. The Bazaar works like recipes when you sell the required loot to fit a certain recipe it appears in the bazaar and most items can be created endlessly though only one can be purchased at a time so if you're farming one and you know the recipe sell the items to make it once buy it then sell the items to make it again etc. if you sold the recipe ingredients for x4 of the item at once only one would ever appear in the bazaar. Does that make sense? The other thing is that usefully the bazaar will use one instance of an item you sell to track multiple recipes. So let's say there is Recipe A and Recipe B Recipe A -------------- 2x Dark Stone 2x Earth Stone Recipe B -------------- 2x Dark Stone 2x Wind Stone If you sell items in this order 2x Wind Stone, 2x Earth Stone, then 2x Dark Stone both item A and item B in the bazaar would show up. However if you sold the Dark Stones first then the Earth Stones you'd unlock only item A even if you sold the Wind Stones next as the Dark Stones were "used" up to create item A already. This will mainly be an issue for the really difficult items in the end game rather than before then. Also look for a yellow sign near the semi-circle of area of rabanastre that muthruu bazaar exits into!

TBF tho that's a low bar, especially in the era of the FF phone games and most of the SNES games where half the stats didn't actually do anything and most status effects were bugged.
