8 didn't have palette swaps because all the monsters scaled in level based on Squall/the party's levels.

A few of the bosses in Ultimecia's Castle were palette swaps, but that's about all I can think of. Also propagators

I like palette swaps but then again I have a particular liking for color schemes. I like to see how much you can do just with colors and taking a single model and changing its colors is something that gives my lizard brain a lot of joy in studying. What works? What doesn't? Why? And so on.

Pallete swaps really aren't a big deal since I understand wanting to save on development time and costs but 10 was a bit egregious

The next FF should only have one enemy that’s just a palette swapped rotating cube with what we should imagine it to be written on it

The next Final Fantasy should have 16 enemies, since it will be FF16. The game is entirely about finding and killing these 16 enemies. One of them will be repeated twice though, for some reason.

FF16 should have 16 playable characters. Beat FF6's record. And one of them should be a talking chocobo!

Also it will be directed by a literal 16 year old, instead of men who act like 16 year olds.

Also does X-enhanced just mean it's 4K now or something? Who gives a poo poo? I mean, b being backwards compatible is all fine and good but it was the "X enhanced" stuff that interested me.

I dunno, I got the feeling this thread's general view of XIII had softened. Not loved but not hated. People love the battle system, even though that's literally all there is to do in the game which kinda ruins it as far as I'm concerned. Nothing is good in excess. Why I prefer XIII-2. I don't care if it's simplified and easier, I have things I can do besides fight and go to the next cutscene. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Nov 15, 2018 |

And yeah it's mostly battle system for me. I think the story isn't as terrible as some people say either, though it does have clear flaws.

Combat in FFXIII is upper tier for the franchise, and its difficulty pacing is the best in the franchise, while everything else is basically bottom tier. How this nets out for you as an overall package is going to determine how you feel about the game. As a person who skips any cutscene offered and hates playing "find the NPC you need to talk to to progress the game" 13 was basically perfection for me as far as JRPGs go, but if you're here for like "A sensible story" and "explorable towns" you're not gonna have a good time.

Like you could tell that lots of effort had been put into making this very dumb story and I was able to appreciate it in that light.

What's the general opinion on Original vs. Arranged OST for FFX? I like most of the classic tracks more I think but admittedly some nostalgia in that. For instance, I think the new version of the boss theme is wholly inferior to the original. But then again, I've heard the whole regular FFX OST many times but this would be my first time going through FFX with the new OST. I might hear new songs I like more. I haven't listened to the whole remastered soundtrack.

NikkolasKing posted:What's the general opinion on Original vs. Arranged OST for FFX? It's kinda mix & match on what versions of songs are better personally. Seymour Battle is just way better in the HD Remaster and sounds amazing while keeping the original feel. Conversely Challenge sounds awful and loses a lot of the punch the original had. Related Fun Fact: Challenge only plays for 2 entire fights in all of FFX, those being Seymour Flux (Mt. Gagazet) and Yunalesca. It's how that song still gives me some degree of anxiety because it only ever played for two of the hardest fights in the game, not counting optional content.

cock hero flux posted:lightning apologizing to a door A lot of these are pretty good, but I think people need to highlight this one more cause it's sorta treated like a big deal but it makes no sense at all. It looks like Lightning is apologizing to Serah but....Serah would have no connection to the doors or locks of the Vestige. It's just funny timing with Snow unlocking parts of the Vestige, but that makes the apology worth even less. Though in looking back in the cutscenes, I noticed something I never really thought about. When Sahz was trying to talk to Lightning about Serah, Lightning told him "It's people like you that started the purge in the first place" when she accuses him of not caring about l'cie. To Sahz of all people.

Also Hope's grudge is great because its just Hope giving death glares while Snow just smiles back blissfully unaware.

I see the sale on the PSN shop. Thinking of picking up 9 and X/x2 for my PS4 Pro. Never played a final fantasy other than tactics... which should I start with? Are these good buys if I want a break from current games like red dead and fortnite?
