I mean Bartz is pretty oblivious too. The most painfully self-aware is probably Squall, who spends like half the game in his own thoughts.

Sure, he's not as smart as the literal child, but you can level that at every member of that party that isn't the literal child. He's also not really put into any situations that really showcase how oblivious he is, unlike Remake Trilogy Cloud.

Im playing FF16 on NG+ and mostly ignoring side stuff for now and the game actually has teeth. If you aren't using healing items you die very fast especially to bosses

I’m glad at least the new patch is buffing a bunch of moves since a lot of stuff completely falls off compared to how hard Zantetsuken spam Diamond Dust and Gigaflare tear through everything

There's some really nice stuff about their friendship that is implied but not directly stated, not because it doesn't get enough focus (I think we the player do get to see some of it!) but to a degree Cloud is oblivious to it. And they were roommates.

I like that FF7R has Tifa and Aerith become fast friends, almost entirely because they get to more effectively gently caress with Cloud and make him do poo poo for them. Like, the dude is certified insane and broke-brained so it's actually kind of funny that they look at him and they're like "you're going to have to carry our poo poo for us by the way"

The Tifa/Aerith friendship is something that's lightly touched on in VII so seeing it expanded proper in Remake is good.

Someone else said you've gotta have the two of them in your party at the same time so if you happen to like one of the other 3 (or 4 if you also got Yuffie) characters more it's easy to miss that.

It's definitely a high point in the game.

Looking at FF16 patch notes aside from the various buffs I think the best addition is triggering Bahamut stance now counts as a dodge move so it charges your Megaflare gauge. This means you don't have to stay passively in Bahamut stance instead you can weave in and out of it and store the gauge until it's full.

I have some reservations about the buff to player attack outside of certain Eikon fights as the game's rather well tuned on time-to-kill right now. Arguably, I feel like Clive needs an attack nerf, not a buff but I suppose if I feel things are dying too fast, I can use a weaker weapon and glamour it. Heaven's Cloud getting a buff is pretty wild to me, it was already a strong ability. Looking forward to seeing Leviathan's move set and Ultima's from the look of it? The actual best change is you can pet Torgal quicker and more often!

Getting the JRPG-itch after playing FF7 Remake recently and DQ11 a few years ago. I see that I have FF9 in my Steam library, is this a game that is worth playing today? It's the only FF I haven't played from the PSX and PS2-era, but I'd rather not use 10 hours to find out it's not very good. I'm also curious if there is a lot of grinding required to level up to not just die to bosses, or if you get all you need with XP and equipment just from following the story.

People like FF9 a lot, it's just kind of slow. As in, the literal game speed.

Yeah, very slow, but very cosy vibes. Be a good game to plug away at for an hour or so every other day. Never experienced balance issues with it myself, but you can also use inbuilt booster stuff to circumvent levelling issues and such in modern versions iirc.

FF9 is one of those "only with a mod" games because people cannot-- and should not-- deal with such a slow game in TYOOL 2024. Again, this is a purely mechanical speed question, the pacing of the story or something isn't what we're talking about. It's like playing a pixel remaster game without auto battle and with battle speed turned down and also there are load times.

It's weird because I've never felt the 'slowness' of FFIX, like its speed is kind of half its charm for me where you just enjoy the very good music and animations.

It is not a difficult game by any means, the only time I went grinding was to be a completionist with learning weapon abilities. It is, as mentioned, slow originally, but the steam version does have speedups and the (IMO must-install) Moguri Mod adds more stuff like shortening the battle transitions etc. the first couple hours are a little slow, probably comparable to FF8 in that regard?

The speedup in ff12 was absolutely necessary with the amount of bullshit hunts that both started and ended at opposite ends of the map in zones with no nearby fast travel.
