I prefer X but they're both good.

i wouldn't mind seeing another FF or some other game take on the paradigm system. it always felt like a really unique take on adding some action elements to what was otherwise a plain ol' ATB system

Original, took a minute to realize I needed to hold the spacebar rather than jamming on it.

FFX, if going by classic FFs, is my favourite FF. Hands down. FFVIII comes incredibly, squeakingly close, and then even closer is FFIX. What a trio of games.

i like IX even if the combat system is not great. though i dont think any FF really has particularly great combat (i haven't played FFV)
|
# ? Jul 3, 2023 17:19 |
|
FFV is just the same combat as 4-9 with more options to break it.

# ? Jul 3, 2023 17:22 |

yeah FF is one of those series i think of when i think "RPGs where you basically just mash your most powerful spell"

Idk what happened exactly but I’ve come to dislike the breakability of ff8, making an easy game even easier isn’t fun to me anymore

Getting final fantasy 7, 8, 9, and 10 between 1997 and 2001 feels like a fever dream in retrospect. The quality of titles, output speed, and graphical improvement. God drat.

Its nuts too that all of these games released like a year after the other and were all in development around the same time.

I wouldn't say one game in development that they seem to be ashamed of counts as "all in" on NFTs.
|
# ? Jul 3, 2023 19:27 |

None of their games I've played have NFTs in and none of their upcoming ones I'm interested in do that's good enough for me.

They very much had an attitude of going all in, but in practice, not much has happened. I think they had some NFT stuff in a gacha game, they had one that was sold with a Cloud statue, and then the NFT specific game that they don't really seem to talk about

It's probably smart financial wise to say you're going all in on NFTs and then quietly wait for next thing investors will obsess over

Gotta point out that while the creative people in the studio are on a roll, Squeenix upper management has always been an utter shitshow and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon

Live A Live Octopath II Triangle Strategy Remake of Tactics Ogre that is the definitive version of the game. Trials of Mana Saga Frontier remaster Legend of Mana remaster XVI VIIR Front Mission 1 remake with II and III coming later apparently An updated Nier release cause why not? The weird flippy magic game whose name I can’t recall Pixel Remaster collection (overpriced though) Valkyrie Elysium (good combat apparently?) Diofield Chronicle (divisive, but apparently has a cool story though?) Valkyrie Profile on modern platforms thank gently caress, also where’s II? And they divested themselves of their western properties, which I think was a good move. Square is on fire and maintaining a level of rapid output and (generally) very high quality. I think we’re looking at a period similar to the late nineties for them. Also I’m sure I missed a game or three in that list but that’s extremely respectable and that’s just like what the last two years or so? They’re showing their storied IPs, even the ones that won’t necessarily draw heavy profit, the kind of reverence and love they deserve. Considering most western devs are happy to vault that poo poo and cynically cash in ASAP, I’m into this strategy and the bench goes much deeper. Also, they don’t mind tossing out some AA jank and considering how budgets are just inflating constantly ($200 mil for TLoU and Horizon sheesh) then I’m happy to say this tends to yield games we can actually play right the gently caress now, with no live service, no weird gimmicks, just focused games that are trying to do one thing well.

https://twitter.com/MegaDriveShock/status/1675798596950847488 https://t.co/fnyvM2TkmZ So someone uploaded some old classified corporate documents from Sega of America in 1996 when everything was going wrong financially and they were trying to figure out what to do. It's 272 pages long and has detailed sales, financial, and manufacturing cost information for Sega consoles. Even has commentary on upcoming games in the production pipeline at the time. The shortened link above leads directly to the 48mb pdf in case the twitter embed doesn't work.
