Literally laughed out loud playing the Yuffie FFVIIR DLC when they revealed the Fort Condor minigame. Does it suck as much as the original Fort Condor minigame? Is that even possible?

The original Fort Condor minigame is something I never did anything with since you can just let the boss get to the fort and kill it for I think Phoenix? Maybe a big materia? I cant remember.

There are absolutely going to be Chrono Cross and FFT remasters and they will be released on the Switch Pro.
:shrug: Like I'm not saying that either game definitively isn't getting a remake/remaster, just that saying "FFT must be getting a remake because they decided to sell Ramza/Delita figures" is super :laffo:

Yeah I'm not saying it's definitely not happening, just that a lot of the proof people are putting forward for them remind me of all the talk about the Switch Pro and "So and so who has always been right in the past says that it's definitely happening!" and "If you look at the latest update for the Switch you'll see they've added support for thing, which proves there's a Switch Pro on the way!"

Honestly, I haven't been paying enough attention to Square-Enix produced collectibles to see if there's any common trend, I was just noticing that this was weirdly out of nowhere, unless that FFT remake is actually happening.

But now that I know 'weirdly out of nowhere' is actually kinda normal for S-E collectibles, it's less interesting.

Surprisingly yes. The NPCs tend to give directions that are at least reasonably based on landmarks and stuff and they focus enough on trying to make the areas 'realistic' that you can puzzle things out. You do have the ability to scout with magical eagles of course but that's kinda different from "GO HERE NOW." AC has a lot of problems but at very least if you want to explore a reasonably fun version of an ancient area it does it well.

That's good, i never played those games but sometimes i think about Origins just because roman Egypt is cool setting.

The original Ft Condor is super easy if you realize that the only victory condition is "no enemy units on screen" rather than "defeat all enemies". So you just rush to the bottom, kill like 4-5 dudes, and win.

Its really good and impressive for a PS2 game. The story's meh but that has always been the problem for the series.

Front Mission 3 has some weirdly rng skills and abilities but it's still my favorite in the franchise for how ambitious it was. The in-game internet is some of the most engrossing world building and a cleverly budget-efficient way to handle out of combat interaction segments.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

Would have been so much better than the dull boring poo poo of that raid we ended up with but oh well.

Also reminder that ff tactics remaster is in the 100% proven true geforce now leak and its out in like april unless they changed dates, which they may well have done, cos they clearly did with chrono cross remaster

Nothing is true until it's officially announced, even then it's only mostly true and not actually true until it's released. Never know what might've been canceled.

I really enjoyed it but like everything else it's not for everyone.

I also enjoyed the minigame in OG FF7 but this version is definitely better.

the 100% proven true geforce now leak

I remember back before SuMo were released, there was a leak that talked about how there were no gyms in Alola, there were regional forms of Pokemon that were different from the old ones, and that Ultra Beasts were from another dimension. All of those were true, but that leak also talked about how there was a new water type Growlite/Arcanine.

So as a Pokemon fan, "100% proven true leak" means absolutely nothing to me.

Definitely on an emulator with the patch that removes animation slowdown.

Even if you don't abuse save states there's still at least the speed up button which saves a ton of time during enemy turns and the intro animations to random encounter maps.

The GeForce now leak is true in the most useless way, in that it's essentially just a list of games that developers told Nvidia they were making at one point in time. It's got no capacity to describe changed plans or progress made before it was put there, it's basically just 'someone told us this was coming so it's on the list'.
