I still get bummed out that the switch doesn't have analog triggers, and I'm hesitant to buy games because I don't know if they'd be better on steam where I can use analog triggers.

That's not gonna work for a Switch beyond slow charging it, you need USB-C and preferably 12 or 15V output. This is the one I have, works great but idk if its discontinued or not https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LRQDAEI/.

Depends on the game, anything that really draws power is going to run the Switch battery down at least a little bit faster than it can pull from a regular USB port.

Your Computer posted:...which only really seems to start happening once you're in the post-game from what I've heard it's this, the only time you ever need to do a thing is in the "postgame" hunts. you can beat the entire normal game, up to and including the final boss, with absolutely zero challenge by casting Haste+Berserk+Brave on one guy and walking around destroying everything. the challenge hunts are a different story but you only do those if you really, really like the game.

Trials is the only game I have that I've really wished I could play with analogue triggers. But I still enjoyed the game loads and got to play way more of it than if I had it on a different platform. I still wish they'd release a pro controller+ or something with working analogue triggers but I'm not holding any hope for it.

shrike82 posted:Wait, are the combat mechanics like XC2? You push buttons in XC2. You do not in FF12. Like its really hard to not stress this, in the zodiac age you can beat the entire game and final boss with complete ease with just 3 characters set to make basic attacks on the same target, one with a heal rule, and one with a remove status effects rule. You will regularly go hours without pushing a button to do anything in combat. Now if you do endgame hunts you will have to do some work updating your gambits and paying attention, but thats like 5 hunts out of 40. The game absolutely feels like the first pass design concept for a system of puzzle battles but doesnt have any of the depth to pull it off.

People bring up the combat, which is bad imo, but the story isn't very good and the characters aren't very good either. If you like spending hours automating your combat, FF12 might be cool for you I guess. I hear DQ11 is cool for automating combat too but I dunno, I like the stimulation of manually micro-managing each encounter even if it is mindless.

Sure, the story is a nearly incomprehensible mess of pronouns and Vaughn and Penny are... whatever. But the other characters are awesome. The orchestrated sound track is fantastic and, coupled with the scale of the game and the story (whatever the fucks going on), give it an incredibly epic, very Star Wars feel. Finally, I think it's inherently worth playing a game that allows the player freedom and leeway when it comes to difficulty and how much you want to engage with it. If you ignore gambits completely and artificially limit yourself to, say, two licence upgrades per level, FFXII would be pretty drat difficult. I've brought this up before (to much argument and debate), but I like games that allow you, the player, to play the game the way you want to and at the difficulty you want to. FFXII does that for JRPGs, which I honestly didn't think was possible with the genre. And that's pretty goddamn awesome. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 12:31 on May 26, 2019 |

less laughter posted:Pokémon does too, with options like the Experience Share and such. But fair point--Pokemon is an extraordinary flexible JRPG. I'll amend my statement to say that FFXII offers flexibility while still keeping the feel of a traditional JRPG, which I didn't think was possible.

asecondduck posted:I can't quite explain it but while Pokemon is, in fact, a Japanese Role Playing Game, I don't lump them into the JRPG genre. I guess it's because the focus is on the enlisting, using, and routine dumping of party members in favor of different/more powerful ones instead of making your set party more powerful (I acknowledge that it's possible to beat any Pokemon game with the first six Pokemon you get, or hell, even your starter alone). That applies to like a billion jrpgs. I don't think FF12 is a very good example of flexibility either since the game doesn't give any challenge at all if you want to actually engage with the systems it gives you (before the postgame anyway) Andrast fucked around with this message at 12:51 on May 26, 2019 |
