The simplest answer is that people don't always die when they are killed in the final fantasy universe.

I would prefer logical reasons for resurrection, like, phoenix downs only work if they're applied immediately and there was some story reason of why they couldn't apply them (someone stole their phoenix downs or something) Or "phoenix downs only work if there is a body for the soul to return to" and they couldn't use a phoenix down because they threw the party member into a wood chipper. Like that.

They're not dead though! Just knocked out (and in some games after a battle the KOed people have 1hp) If your whole party gets KOed though it's usually game over, unless you're fighting a bear I guess (I don't know if playing dead actually works this isn't bear country)

Man, Exapunks is awesome. It starts with hacking highway signs and gets progressively wilder. IMO, it's the best (also one of the most difficult) Zachtronics game (or the second best after Infinifactory) Kennel fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Apr 26, 2020 |

I do wonder how far I'll get before forgetting how to play, like I did with TIS-100 and SpaceChem, and probably soon Magnum Opus (got about halfway through this, stuck at a level where even after looking at solutions I still can't build it). Does Moletz-Synth require printouts? That's also why I never played much of Shenzen-IO: TIS-100 I could get by with the PDF instructions but Shenzen looks like that would be a big pain.

The mission in Sleeping Dogs where the triads say that they can discover undercover cops because they can't kill people was fun. You actually DON'T kill the bad guy (for once) in that one.

My big one was ac black flag, where I spent the first half of the game more interested in exploring and conquering the open world than doing the story. Finally start on the story and at one point all the pirate lords gather for a meeting where they are ambushed by the Royal Navy. Scene ends with you on the run and a renewed effort by the government to stop pirates. Then back to the open world where I still own all the forts and ports and can still easily sink or capture any ship

You know that when the starting option menu lags you're in for a bad time. I choose to believe that the massive lag spikes that happen when Kiryu tiger-knees a switchblade through the stomach of some delinquent highschooler are a stylistic choice by the devs rather than my mid-range pc dying

One instance a group had a magic cupboard that "fixed" anything broken that you put in it. Crockery etc. They had a little girl dying of cancer or somesuch, and it was suggested to screw the ethics, put her in the cupboard and see what happens. Father responded that yes, they've been doing that - last time was just this morning. Turns out it can rewind the organ failure, but not the cancer doing it, which 'belonged'. So yea, it's been thought of and has had some good takes on it. It just requires better writing than whatever you'll find in a FinalFantasy game.

I've wanted to try it for a few years, but now that I'm actually playing Divinity Original Sin II it's not really doing much for me. I feel like every D&D based game has the same boring story about an imperial order that oppresses mages. The characters aren't really drawing me in either. I ended up putting down Dragon Age Origins for the same reason. I really enjoyed Baldur's Gate II back in the day, which is why I get excited for these games, but I think my tastes have changed. Debating now whether I should continue to power through (I'm only 3-4 hours in) or just move on to Into the Breach, Oxygen Not Included, or Battle Brothers.

Hang in there a bit longer. I think it really starts to shine once you get some more abilities. I remember it taking a while to sync with me too but when it did, it really did.

looking at the options in final fantasy 12, ive never seen new game- before. it says there is no use of experience points so i guess its like a story mode where you auto-level or something? weird.

Awesome! posted:looking at the options in final fantasy 12, ive never seen new game- before. it says there is no use of experience points so i guess its like a story mode where you auto-level or something? weird. It just puts you at level 70 which is absolutely enough for any regular content in the game and probably enough for all of the added stuff if you are playing smart and doing good builds/jobs.

I remember it taking a while to sync with me too but when it did, it really did. Act 1 of DOS2 is painful compared to the rest of the game, and I will literally never play it again without, at absolute minimum, the respec mirror in act 1 mod. (though I also think it's too long and really drags by the end, and likely will never replay it regardless. Probably still the best multiplayer wrpg of all time though)

New game minus is hard mode. You start at level one and never gain levels. It's not that bad since you still have full access to the license board though

Baldur's Gate is about a popular businessman rising to power and, instead of leading his nation to prosperity, dismantling its institutions and driving it to chaos as people grow increasingly confused about what's happening Pretty topical imo
