Nah it's actually kind of neat for a story to actually build on itself in ways over the course of a bunch of different games and for the non-console games to be more than time wasting spin-offs. Peace Walker is the best Metal Gear since 4 btw.

Splitting the story between a bunch of console and handheld-exclusive games is kinda dumb, even if they eventually rereleased them all for the PS4 or whatever. That’s the Sony console line and both handheld lines that the main story was split between, how many people were going to experience the entire story during that time span?

I played kingdom hearts one as a child and thought it was alright. Then I played the second one much later, and there was a lot that didn't make sense until I was informed that it was actually the third game in the series and that in order for it to make sense I would have to play chain of memories, which I did not do but I eventually got sort of a handle on it anyway. As of now Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming out and there are like, I don't know, actually a billion games between it and 2 which I will not play and I think at this point the distance between 2 and 3 is so great that I will actually not be able to understand any of it at all even slightly, so I probably just won't play it.

lft part 4: what the gently caress, part 4 the LFT documentation says that colliery has been redesigned to be "more difficult." what they don't tell you is that this means, "all enemies now have permanent innate reraise, not tied to their equipment" it also says that the move-find rewards in this area have been reworked, but they haven't

The number of people that played the Witcher 3 while also completing 1 and 2 is way lower than you think. People will jump on the newest numbered, canon series regardless and it'll ultimately not matter too much.

Spoilers: Most people won't care and will just jump on KH3 to see Frozen hi five an anime twink if the game is fun to play and the chosen among us who embraced the franchise as the big sprawling mess it was will get our big dumb ending alongside that. Witcher 3 outsold the other 2 put together almost 3 times over. Nothing matters, this boat runs on smiles.

Tae posted:The number of people that played the Witcher 3 while also completing 1 and 2 is way lower than you think. Witcher 3 has two things going for it that KH3 almost certainly will not have. 1) it doesn’t actually expect you to know much if anything from the prior games. It mostly introduces things from the books in ways that you can immediately grasp without having read the books and without doing shoehorned in info dumps. 2) it was a spectacularly good game.

Epi Lepi posted:Nah he sucks rear end, and if you consider KH "consistently good" you have extremely low standards and extremely high tolerance for stupid bullshit. No one made him abandon real games for nonsense sidegames that make no sense, games that no one asked for. The fact that people will likely need to have played all of these myriad side games to understand where the story is at when KHIII finally comes out is just as much of a Bad Thing as the fact that his last two Triple A titles each floundered for 10 years. He's George Lucas in the prequel era, making stupid nonsense that no one asked for, completely misunderstanding what people liked about the things he created, and unable or unwilling to take any editing to make a better project. This post is right and the KH games are worse than the XIII series of games, VII-Remake is never coming out, and Nomura is a hack.

Setting aside whether or not you like the Kingdom Hearts games, the initial line of discussion was whether Nomura is capable of putting out games that aren't dumpster fires at a steady pace, and the answer is yes, he can. It's AAA projects where the fuckups happen and given how universal that issue is in Square Enix I'm not gonna blame Nomura specifically for that.

"I actually don’t sympathize or empathize with Nomura at all,” Elentor says. Instead, he relates to the game’s mysterious creators, Sakaguchi or Yoshida, or literally anyone else. “I think I’m closer to those characters, so Nomura is like my enemy,” he says. “How I always think of him is I would unleash my posts on him"

LFT posted:The Beowulf sidequest (Colliery, Nevelska) has been modified to fit with aftergame content and the fights have been redesigned from scratch to be appropriately challenging for optional encounters. Well, yes. Three summoners with 1000 HP each (you can tell because demi 2 does 500 damage), a bird that can cast 100% accuracy slow+don't move, lv99 worker 8 with >900 HP, oh and did I mention these summoners have >12 speed? Every enemy is flagged to have invisible stats, so you can't tell what they're equipped with and it's impossible to plan for their loadouts. That's not a "challenging map," that's sadism. This poo poo isn't redesigning from the ground up, you're just slapping together garbage units with impossible loadouts and an overwhelming mathematical advantage that a normal player can't overcome short of weird cheese strats.  Which, you know, I do know how to do. I think my complaints are legitimate given that I understand enough about this game's mechanics to overcome this fight. It's not impossible, it's just not fun. I mean, unless your idea of fun is figuring out how to cheese Riovanes Rooftop. I know I challenged a poster on these forums once to do Riovanes Rooftop with Calculators Only, no Math Skill, so maybe this mod is for people like that. But it certainly isn't for me.

I am playing ff7 for the first time and I have some questions. I just finished the motorcycle battle. Since magic does more damage than physical damage, and I always seem to have enough MP through ether and rest, should I just spam it all the time? That's what I've been doing. Can I screw my game up to unplayability without realizing it? Are there any materia that I really need? In just discovered that cure+all makes the game A LOT EASIER.

The Dregs posted:I am playing this game for the first time and I have some questions. I just finished the motorcycle battle. Oh hello you must be talking about FF7 Nah, there's no downside to using magic all the time unless you go against something with lots of magic resist or something* No, you can't gently caress up, FF7 is pretty easy Enemy Skill is hilarious if you get the right skills on it, you permanently learn certain attacks from enemies when they hit you while it's equipped, some of them are busted like matra magic or if you can get beta from the big snake early (might have to google a strategy so you don't die) but in any case, you can't really go wrong, FF7 isn't too difficult a game, just do whatever's fun. *Important to know that equipping materia changes your character's stats a little while it's equipped if you didn't notice. It says what stats it'll affect on the materia equip screen but in general, equipping a lot of magic materia will make your character have less HP and do less physical damage in exchange for more MP and more magic damage. So that might also be why magic is always doing more than just straight-up attacking for you  It's like a more customizable job system from FFV, you can kinda just pick whatever you want each character to be good at. Well, except Aerith, she'll always be bad at physical attacking and good at doing magic no matter what, I'm pretty sure Xad fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Dec 4, 2018 |

Xad posted:Oh hello you must be talking about FF7 I've only played ff1 and tactics before, I assume the job system is similar to the one in tactics? Right now I am mainly partying with Tifa and Aerith because I am afraid to piss either of them off (if push comes to shove, I am gonna keep Tifa because I like her little shin kicks). I stuck Aerith in the back with cure+all and a Fire rune. Tifa is up front and does Lightning, while Cloud does Ice and has Cover and Sense equipped. Although now I am thinking he might do better damage with that mithril sword. Honestly, I am not regretting playing this sooner. I never got into JRPG's because I hate that you can't make your own guys. If I had realized there was so much customizeability, I would have tried them before now. Also, anime.

The Dregs posted:I am playing ff7 for the first time and I have some questions. I just finished the motorcycle battle. That may be the case at the start of the game, but IIRC at some point physical attacks from most characters will start to do more damage than the magic you have available unless you've been grinding a lot or got some sick enemy skills. It does also depend on your materia set up. Like Xad said it's an easy enough game so just do what you like. Getting the really good magic/summons always seemed too time consuming for me so I usually end the game using a lot of physical attacks (you get some really good materia that enhances them towards the end of the game)

Nobody has a job in 7. You just equip whatever gear and magic/abilities to them you want and it makes them into whatever role you need or however much of a role you need. I.e. it could make sense for a tough fight to have everyone know cure so in a pinch they can heal while still having one character with more healing options. Not all JRPGs give you the flexibility like this, but most of them now do let you customize builds or at least skills slightly rather than FFIVs completely static characters. As for your party FFVII is super easy so you can steam roll the game with whoever you want but be aware that the big differentiation between characters that is unchanging is limit breaks and that means certain characters are DPS wise always better than others.

The Dregs posted:I am playing ff7 for the first time and I have some questions. I just finished the motorcycle battle. Yeah, until you get to the late game when you actually get some materia that supports your physical attacks, magic is pretty much king. Black magic for boss fights, enemy skills and summons for trash because they don't need an All support and they don't get penalized for multitargeting. Also fun fact, spells from Poison and Earth materias are slightly more powerful than spells of the equivalent tier from Fire, Ice, and Lightning.

Because you need to equip materia to level it up, I always rolled with all materia all the time when I was a kid, even if it lowered my HP/Atk or whatever. Gotta grind out those stars. I felt like the stat changes were negligible when compared to what you could do with the right materia combinations.
