Finished the main story of Stranger of Paradise. 10/10. Any shortcomings I noticed are made up by how awesome the rest of the game is. How long does it take to advance the Bahamut DLC? I dunno if I'm in the mood for replaying tye entire game on Chaos and Bahamut difficulties right now. Edit: Oh looks like I just missed discussion about it.

Heithinn Grasida posted:The fastest way to progress through the SoP DLC (probably, there are more knowledgeable players than me) is to ignore chaos difficulty entirely, go directly to Bahamut difficulty, turn dragon trials to the max, unlock “the rebel” (sunken shrine side mission) at the highest level you can and blow through that. Thanks for this post, this was exactly what I needed to parse what the gently caress to do in Post Game. By god I'm going to make Gambler into one of my endgame classes if it kills me because I'm just a sucker for the archetype. Also it's funny to spin the wheel and get stupid poo poo like Ultima.

Looks like the NFT's came out. It's physical cards that you can get digital versions of too. How very weird. https://store.na.square-enix-games....0CARD%20-%20AWS

Everyone else is like "I can't wait for FF16" or "I can't wait for Tears of the Kingdom," but I've been hyped for the Square-Enix NFTs.

One of the Rat Tail jobs for Gambler basically slots a Megalixir on the roulette. I'm probably gonna spend my first tails on Sage though because I need Ultima to hard carry me until I git gud

Gambler gets guns, and therefore Starlight, which is about as bullshit as Ultima but without building up seals.

I'm a few hours into my very first run of FF6, playing on an SNES emulator, vanilla US release, no romhacks. Just began chasing down Terra after she took flight. Should I continue or restart with the pixel remaster? Or with a romhack? My reluctance with the pixel remaster is that I want something close to the original experience, and since I'm on retroarch I have access to a high quality CRT filter and I love how it looks. I'm not super concerned about QoL features but I also don't want to miss out on anything better just because I didn't do any research. I feel like I should be playing a romhack, but idk what's good. I'm having zero luck chasing down a consensus opinion on what's ideal for a first playthrough. Any suggestions?

playing the original is fine i'd be wary of doing a romhack for your first playthrough, even if it's one of the better ones you're kinda flipping a coin there

The SNES version is extremely glitchy, just from using Relm. Some things don't even work correctly, like Goggles. I'd pick PR version so SE decides to do a PR of FF9.

Hey now, be fair, the goggles do exactly what they're supposed to, they make you immune to blind. It's just that blind doesn't do anything, unless your name is Strago.

Don't overthink it, just play the videogame, unless you don't like it. You can research this and that about optimal conditions to play it (which no one will ever agree on) but also you can just complete a playthrough in that time

I was having a good time and then I started reading up on the pixel remasters and that got me to reading about romhacks and I started catching FOMO. I will drill the forbidden knowledge out of my brain, cheers

Pretty sure FF2's stats work as intended, with the only hiccup being that when an all-target spell is cast on your party, instead of increasing Magic Defense, it instead increases Firion's Spirit because the game coding considers it a White Magic spell being cast by Firion. Here's a great in-depth guide for the NES version. This site in general has great content for the NES FF games!

Kind of? The knife damage formula (which is also used by bows and whips) is supposed to scale off of both strength and agility, but for everything except the chicken knife, the agility portion of the formula can only ever be 0 or 1. However, there's an argument to be made that this was actually a deliberate change made late in development for balance reasons, and afaik it's never been "fixed" in any of the later releases. (The chicken knife not having this limitation is a large part of the reason it's so overpowered.)

Yeah, current implementation results in a quick and dirty 'knives are really good on knife guys while they're competitive at all, but fall off when they're set to fall off'. I will say that I've been really digging into the first SaGa game for the current fiesta, and it also appears to feature an errant 8-bit multiply that doesn't serve balance purposes at all. Could be a recurring blind spot, could be the inspiration for deciding to do it in 5, could be a coincidence.

Hellioning posted:No, in VIII, the Level stat doesn't work. Levelling up in FFVIII is just to unlock hard mode. I use a Mac instead of a PC now, meaning I can no longer play FFVIII with the Lunatic Pandora mods, which make everything look and sound beautiful. I'll have to download the Switch remaster, which only has a few QoL improvements, more annoying character designs and the same blurry PC port backgrounds. Using Bootcamp with a Win7 partition is probably my only option. Which sucks. Zibraltar fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Apr 25, 2023 |
