DQ3 down. On to 4. Decided to get the android version because it is apparently the best one. And I can potentially sell my sealed DS copy. So that works out pretty well.

Also to clarify cause some people misunderstand this. It's episodic in the sense that the story is split across multiple games. Each episode is reportedly a full size rpg with boatloads of side content as is standard for Final Fantasy games.

i beat linkle liver story for the sega saturn you can sure, uh, tell that they got the artists and writer of crusader of centy back for that game, and literally nobody else, because man that game is a chore to play. also kind of... is less well-written than centy. feels more like a bundle of interesting story ideas than an actual coherent plot with memorable characters, a lot of them have less going on than some of the rando side npcs in crusader of centy did and none of the stuff about nightmare dream monsters vs reality actually feels like it, was explored in a way that made it different from generic dark monster guys. also gently caress that weapons system it's built in like the most deliberately obtuse way without really having any benefit so far my ranking of sega console action rpgs i've beaten goes napple tale dark savior monster world iv (dunno if this counts under action rpg or just platformer but im putting it here) crusader of centy linkle liver story The Colonel fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Mar 8, 2020 |

So after getting FF7 set up on Steam, and playing through the opening, I played the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo. It was...pretty good! Some things I noted:

They replaced all the VA's (just for the remake) because they want to get it through the dumb western brains that this is a different FF7 in many ways.

[*] It's a flow. You can at least easily break from Punisher to Operator with the dodge roll. [*] The scene is meaning to show the bomb's damage was not anywhere near news-worthy even if it didn't fail. Going just from the original story, Shinra is perfectly down with turning AVALANCHE into scapegoats, but that tactic's much more effective if your terrorists are responsible for massive destruction than if they simply force some annoying minor repairs that wouldn't make front page news. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3U8jfJnkfw You can see some of that in this quick kill video, Cloud counter-attacks the Electrostomp starting from Operator mode. As for the ticket booth, you can see the train line map and it's just one station on the loop. The actual reactor is through an off-limits area that AVALANCHE has to hack through but presumably there's Midgar working stiffs who might use the station itself for normal reasons.

I'm very bad at Ys8 raids on Hard. Something will tag me from offscreen or I'll do a charging attack into something and so many points lost. e: Also I feel a bit salty that the other team always gets an S. Of course they do, they have like fifteen people!

I liked the FF7 demo. Battles were a little chaotic, but I think that's good, judging by some of the videos, it's something you can really start to internalize and get better at. I wasn't, like, a huge fan of FF7, but enjoyed it, and it's pretty cool seeing these environments realized in a fully connected 3d space. Approaching the massive yellow/black door to the reactor and remembering what it looks like on the grainy PS1 background is cool, but being able to then turn around and see the dominating presence of Shinra HQ in the background was a neat moment. I'm sure there are people who have played this demo dozens of times, and have just soaked in every single bit of experience from it.

Star Ocean is good for two and a half games and then it's bad. Star Ocean R is good if you liked SO2 and probably not going to be your cup of tea otherwise.

The gameplay is so loving good in the demo and I cannot wait to see it expanded on. You're gonna be able to do some real combos. It's everything FF15s combat should have been.

Amppelix posted:FF7 wasn't turn based to begin with! Technically it is if you use the Pause mode, or whatever it was called. I absolutely did, because getting smacked with attacks while you're just scrolling to find the right item in your inventory is not my idea of fun.

Sure but my larger point is that it seems extremely weird to expect turn-based battle systems from this series. I-III and then X are the only "real" turn-based ones and experimentation with various types of more active battle system is pretty much the series trademark.

For turn-based they should make another FFT(A) or at least put WOTL and/or A2 on Switch.

ATB is the most turnbased since it means you have to sit and literally "wait your turn" in realtime.
