Just bought this. Problem solved. All 3 on there, and playable. And I can load other FF games on there with EmuElec.

An HDMI cable and wireless gamepad for your PC would've been cheaper and honestly having your PC hooked up to your TV is just great in general if you aren't somehow prevented from running an extra HDMI cable between them.

That team is not very good at names.

All dev teams use project names. This team just... uses those same names for the finished product because the goofy name clearly didn't hurt Octopath and its several million units sold when they likely expected/hoped for a couple hundred thousand units to sell.

HOLY poo poo i don't know how I never realized that. Incredible.

Olan also makes it clear he idolizes his father-in-law and Orlandu just happens to be a force of nature on the battlefield too, and he "really" didn't get executed in disgrace but wa sallowed to flee in secret and help save the world.

Olan's an unreliable narrator and while his story of "Delita's a monster not a hero" is likely true, he definitely took some liberties with the telling.

Its absolutely astounding to me because these companies could have made DLC that could be sold between customers years ago, but they didn't because that makes them less money so now they're trying to make limited DLC where you can do that and they hope you bid each other up but done in the worst possible loving way.

Back on my bullshit with XIII-2. Just left Bodhum with Noel the first time. So far the combat is a lot more fun since it feels faster without the dumb rear end animation. Also I hear you can make this game easy as hell if you do side quests and stuff and I love stuff like that. I want to be super overpowered at every point I can.

Gamers have had it too good for too long having "fun" with games. It's time for gamers to contribute now and forever. All Square Enix games will now be FF3DS NFTs and nothing else.

People in these threads always say that sending Yuna down Auron's path on the sphere grid in FFX is a trip because the game's scaling for Yuna's strength stat is ridiculous. I finally tried it this time and welp Yuna is a monster lol. Physically, she does more damage than Tidus and all my aeons wipe the floor with everything.

Later bosses only let you have a summon out for 1 turn.

That's more than enough.

I just finished the Yuffie DLC for FF7R and it was awesome and set up the next game extremely well.

What's with the Zack stuff though? It's loving weird and feels shoehorned in.

I know it's probably in a parallel timeline and the timelines will probably eventually converge somehow but it's really weird how they keep cramming it in.

I don't hate Zack or anything but I feel like bringing him back isn't worth whatever retcon trouble they're going through.

Yeah I agree. They seem to be trying to cram every single thing from the EU into this and smdh come on guys.

I should probably play Crisis Core eventually to see what all this stupid poo poo is. The Nero boss fight was annoying and he seems like the most Nomura character ever lol.

The Ghosts, Zack and Dirge of Cerberus stuff is just looming over the game. Like I loved the characterization and the little changes but I've no idea how that's gonna hold up with all that other stuff in there.

Also I don't understand the Zack stuff is he time warped to when the crew leaves midgar? if so why? is he in a different timeline?

it's a different timeline than the original. You can tell because Stamp is different in the OG FF7R ending
