I know, but the EMS bonus track isn't Lenna's theme, in fact there doesn't appear to be any Lenna's theme at all! Genuinely feels like a huge oversight to me, I never would have considered that it was left off the playlist

I'm petitioning for a season 3 of DLC with all the Final Fantasy tracks I want but didn't get.

Such as Ship Graveyard from FFV and The Turks Theme from FFVII.

Yes I can listen to any of these at any time on Spotify or YouTube. But I wanna click buttons with em!

I haven't really had time to play any more theatrhythm yet, but do the double analogue controls ever do things like 86 or 24? In numpad notation if that makes sense. Thinking through custom controller stuff

Sorry, they've decreed that the only relevant song from FFV is Battle on the Big Bridge.

Even the Digital Deluxe Edition adds, for FFV... BotBB (Modulation Version).

Hmm... that's really unfortunate because it means I do actually need two separate analog inputs. I was thinking it might not actually care which stick does which direction, and as an extension might not care if I "technically" input back and forward on the same stick

In that case my existing PCB doesn't work, I'll need to see if anyone produces a PCB that has two separate analog stick inputs. I think some of the smash compatible sticks do exactly that come to think of it.. but then I'm getting into buying a whole new controller to hack apart. If only I still had my drifting joycons to disassemble

The series missions where bosses have inflated hp pools are rough enough, but even more when they resist elements. Might have to revisit Eald'narche later.

It definitely doesn't care which stick does which direction (a sequence like <--> -><- <--> is mechanically identical to <--> <--> <-->, you don't actually need to switch directions).

I just started playing FFXV for the first time the other day and I was surprised to see that the FF series radio songs in that seem to be an almost 1:1 match to the Final Bar Line track list (with the notable exception of FFXIV, for obvious reasons). It seems that Square have long since decided what the official representative tracks are for each game and aren't really interested in going beyond that. If that's the case I doubt they'll be adding any more songs from the mainline series.

e; From the pre XIV mainline series, I should clarify

VII Remake has a new EMS as well, along with XV.

I'm going to level up Ace/Noctis/Yuna/Rydia next. Getting levels is kinda annoying as I'm running out of things to play casually but we'll get there.

Revenge Twofold and Insatiable are huge omissions for sure. I kind of wish they put Insanity in the game just because that chart would be absolutely bonkers, as well.

My list of criminally missing songs:

Due Recompense (7R)
Besaid Island (X)
Test of the l'Cie (XIII)
Limit Break (XIII-2)
Return to Oblivion (XIV)
Sophie the Freelancer (Mobius)

Probably a whole lot more to list but this is what I can think of immediately anyways.

Return to Oblivion is also amazing and should be in the game. Surprised The Legendary Beast isn't, while we're at it.

Both Stormblood and Shadowbringers both got pretty barebones song lists tbh. ARR and Heavensward have way more songs because they’re carried over from Curtain Call and All Star Carnival

I'm satisfied with most of the songs in the base game (missing a few of the vocal tracks that got moved to DLC, but ah well). Maybe Under Her Control from FFVIII and Dagguero from FFIX.

Definitely want more XIV, and I'm already saying that the Octopath pack next month is missing a few songs, but otherwise I'm good.

Several realms do have some synergy within, like XI/XIV, which helps a bit.

The main thing about TWEWY is that Breaking Free is in there and that was the one song I needed from it, so I'm satisfied.

I've played FFVIII through a couple times but I don't remember Ultimecia at all. Her character, anything she says, it's just all blank. Everything after Lunatic Pandora is kind of a blur. I remember Ultimecia Castle. But it's like she just wasn't in the game at all or something.

she isn’t mentioned until immediately before lunatic pandora so that’s probably why

ultimecia is (arguably) present for much of the game since she’s body-surfing from edea to rinoa until the final act but she isn’t much of a character in herself

She's actually mentioned at the start of Disc 3 when they talk to the sane Edea (sanedea?).

How would your PCB input multiple directions on the same stick? The Switch receives X and Y axes as single bytes each, 0-255, so a full left plus full right would return 127 (neutral) X, same for full up/full down as Y. Presumably the game is doing some conversion to polar coordinates from the values it gets to then get which direction is pressed, but at a hardware level you can't control that.

Honestly I have a soft spot for FFXV. The actual plotline is kinda whatever, but there's a good chunk of fun doing the whole camping road trip. They do a good job of making the world very explorable, and the music is great.

Kingsglaive and Brotherhood are pretty optional, though it helps with worldbuilding; honestly you could read up on a synopsis and that'd cover it. Maybe wait til you hit Chapter 3 before you watch Kingsglaive.

It is firmly meh. It has some good moments but a lot of cruft and the combat system is the goofus to FF7R's Gallant

The most important parts of Kingsglaive are included in the game itself now. It's mostly unnecessary after those inclusions and watching it made me angry that blinkstrike wasn't better used as a mobility ability in the game but it's entertaining enough if you pick up what FF15 tries to put down.
