The way he switches back to his Gruff Serious Adult voice to tell the pirate captain's story is peak humour.

The Zodiac whatever edition of 12 is really good, but 10 and 12 are both generally excellent games and both in my personal top 3.

I like 12's world and battle system more than most people seem to. The characters aren't as strong as 10's but they get the job done, and it's actually pretty cool setting up Gambits that let your party handle the small stuff so you can focus on the bigger picture. People will say it's Fantasy Star Wars and they aren't entirely wrong, but Matsuno's brain worms are different from Lucas's.open up.

I was playing it recently and watching the big cutscene right before the final dungeon. My daughter walked in and was like "Hey mom, are you playing a Star Wars game?" and all I could say to that was "Pretty much, yeah."

I'm having trouble with Gi Natak in hard mode. Does anybody know if his attacks are fire element? Fire+Elemental would make the fight a cake walk if that's the case.

Beat him, but to answer my own question in case somebody else is interested. None of Gi Natak's attacks are fire element. However his yellow skull minions cast Fira. But they do it so slowly and disappear so quickly that absorbing fire isn't really worth it, imo.

Made a big mistake last night.

Got about halfway through The Drum, and then about 8:00 PM decided “I’ll just go ahead and finish it”. Did not expect like 7 more bosses before the end. Didn’t even finish until almost 1:00 AM.

Jenova and Sephiroth were cool, but I just about put the game down for good on Arsenal because my Barrett was totally tank/heal specced and Aerith was basically just hiding and chugging Ether to do tiny bits of damage even with max level spells. Then the motorcycle fight just felt way too long.

Good game, but I can already tell Rebirth has a lot of updated mechanics that I will enjoy more. Remake’s ending was also unbelievably obtuse, though I understand the point was “it’s an unknown world now!” Going into the next two games.

10 and 12 are two of my favourites. 10 is the perfect summer time game for me for whatever reason, I don't really know why, probably because Spira's a tropical paradise world by and large.

He definitely was, and Aerith was a little bit, not lovely, but like "I wanna go on the rides!" to the point that Tifa even asks her if they should really be doing this right now and her response is summed up something along the lines of "Well we're already here so..." which prompts Barret to yell a bit and storm off on his own.

just finished the game. by the third zone I was really burnt out by all the filler-stuff for chadley, and I became increasingly impatient during boss fights with all the interruptive cutscenes that always seem to pop up when you’re finally in the flow of it. some of them even broke off buffs like regen for no good reason :argh:

I did enjoy the story though, and the game did a way better job than the original at portraying both how unsettling Cloud’s gradual insanity is, and just how destructive mako is for the planet.

I genuinely don’t know how part 3 will play out, but I’ll play it, even if they fill it with way too many mini games and all the other exhauative-to-tedious little things.

Barret was so angry in the original he stormed off and they made it more of a mystery if he WAS so angry he just fuckin' murdered a bunch of people.

I tried equipping 'fire and ice' +elemental and 'lightning and wind' + elemental on Cait Sith's armor in Shinra manor in hard mode. I thought "absorbing everything will make this easy." It doesn't work. You can only use one Elemental materia in any weapon or armor. Annoying imo. The toughest enemy you face that is completely broken by that would be Kujata. And if you are dedicating four materia slots to that fight on Gilgamesh Island or the combat simulator the game should let you.

On the plus side, the Cait Sith section doesn't suck nearly as much the second time when you understand the controls.

Screw that. I want him to get The Elder Shinra's Golden Gun. And I want it to be an unbelievably powerful weapon, and then every dumb person who is all "Barret, you have a bigger gun, why are you afraid" when that's... not how guns work.... will have to shut up. It might be the wrong reason, but I'll take it.
