So what do you guys think is the most fun way to play FF8? Breaking the game? Playing it normally? Not playing it?

I mean, if you fail to break it in some capacity by the time you hit the missile base you can soft-game over yourself permanently pretty easily.

FFXV question because I bought it in the sale: is there a fix for whatever causes the "game works fine for a bit then literally makes your computer ignore keyboard inputs" thing that prevents me from making it past tits-out gas station?

Can you transfer a PS3 save of the X/X2 remaster to PS4 or would I have to start fresh?

I don't even use No Enc when I play it anymore, save for if I'm going back to a place just to grab something. it takes up an ability slot that I'd rather use for something else, and enemy level scaling isn't that bad

I did it, I finally made it past chapter 3 of FF15. I have no idea why it took me so many tries because this game is super good now.

I've been playing FF7 with that fan retranslation, and so far it's surprisingly not awful. I got 7-15 on sale for steam and started playing em in order, but figured I'd try modded 7 finally since I've played it a bunch of times before. The new graphics are.... OK. I could not deal with different music, so I uninstalled that asap. But the translation seems decent so far. I'm using the 7th Heaven set for anyone curious. I'll probably play the rest mostly vanilla, except maybe some dumb skins in 15

Doing the Final Fantasy VII (og playstation version) end-game stuff for the first time, just hit disc 3. I've got everyone's ultimate weapons (and I think most of their second strongest weapons), every level-4 limit break, overall pretty good armor, bred a gold chocobo and almost all of my characters are at least in the low-60s for levels. I haven't obtained any master materia yet, and the only stuff I need to do is take down Ruby, Emerald, and then the Northern Crater (which I haven't entered yet). I'm assuming I'm going to need to level up a bit more/level up my materia to take on the weapons? I've got a lot of mastered materia but mostly it's just green materia which  . This is my 2nd playthrough ever and I didn't bother with them the first time because they kicked the poo poo out of me and I just wanted to see the ending, this time I want to take those fuckers down.

Theyre both effectively gimmick boss battles rather than an actual progresion check so you likely have everything you need to beat them now. Take a tackle at them, see if you can suss out a strategy and if not just look up the solutions.

Yeah, Ruby especially is a very gimmick-focused fight and can probably be beaten at any time once you figure out how to play in that space. Emerald Weapon's a nastier piece of work because it has multiple different gimmicks and even if you 'solve' them it's still capable of just hitting like a truck, but FFVII is still one of the most broken FF games in terms of player power level so with a little work and either grinding or cheese you can probably figure out a way through him.

the thing about almost all ff superbosses is that they usually have some kind of trump card that will gently caress you regardless of your preparedness. so your only real strategies for all of them is either A) figuring out how to maximize your damage output in as few actions as possible, and end the battle while you're still standing, or B) figuring out some kind of invincible combo that mechanically prevents you from being able to get a game over. optimally, some combination of the two. my nebulous advice for emerald, is go with A. for ruby, you want option B, which becomes much more viable after you beat emerald weapon. you don't even have to be a very high level to do either of these things; it's all in how you prep beforehand. more specifically for emerald weapon, if you pair all 7 fever with limit breaks, you can do a tremendous amount of damage; enough, even, to end the fight in just four more actions after that. for ruby, equipping Phoenix + Final Attack, and also the Master Summon materia, on one character, gives you five "extra lives," which you may not even need, and allows you to infinitely summon Knights of the Round. stats and levels aren't really reliable in these fights--especially emerald weapon--because these bosses' attack and defense stats are so astronomical that you have to exploit item dupe bugs to go toe-to-toe with them in what you might recognize as a "fair" fight. you will never, ever catch up to their power levels naturally.

Yeah as a kid before the internet gave you instant answers my friends and I tried for days trying to beat the weapons. Stuff like equipping Phoenix and Final attack was beyond us  Or at least it was beyond my friend whose ps1 it was who kept telling us not to use the stupid useless materia as he summoned quad neo bahamuts

Spoilered for the guy fighting them for the first time in case he doesn't want my super awesome 13 year-old self's strategy I W-Summoned Hades (to apply Stop) followed by Knights of the Round, then Mimed it with my other characters. Over and over. I think it took like an hour.

Between this and Magic Hammer, the idea that Ruby Weapon is somehow harder and necessitates Phoenix+Final Attack is completely mindboggling.

To be frank I still dont use status effects unless youve got something like FFXIII or SMT going where I can know painlessly what is actually weak to what instead of wasting my time wondering if the miss means immune or I just missed. Or playin VF Code of Dragon 3 or whatever the hell its name was and have one class whose entire gimmick requires applying a debuff that does nothing but let you use your other abilities every 3 turns so good luck being useful in most battles versus the character who can deal 1/3rd the bosses HP every other turn.

The other reason it happens(Besides not doing damage)is that a lot of bosses ARE immune to status effects, or get rid of them really easily. It trains people that play rpgs that they are always worthless. If you see it in enough games you start to think it applies to all games.

Or my favorite triggering a super rude auto-response from the boss that you can avoid by just not debuffing it. Basically outside of a very small fragment of RPGs you are encouraged to think of debuffs as early game only

When hunting Emerald Weapon don't forget to link Double Strike with Life Leech. Mime truly is the FFVIII of FFVII. lobster22221 posted:The other reason it happens(Besides not doing damage)is that a lot of bosses ARE immune to status effects, or get rid of them really easily. It trains people that play rpgs that they are always worthless. If you see it in enough games you start to think it applies to all games. I'm extremely annoyed by bosses being immune to status effects, if I'm being honest. Because there are always the few bosses that are not and they're usually weak to a single thing. It makes status effects useless to all but the people who already know the game inside out - trash enemies don't need them so by getting used to using them you're only gimping yourself, bosses frequently are immune to them, and odds are that you don't need them to kill the bosses anyway.

Buffs are usually good they're just really unnecessary. The moment you get Big Guard in FFVII you're invincible unless you really don't want to be. With Aeris you can literally be invincible if your heart desires. In FFX the buffs are many, and they're all powerful, stackable and iirc last forever, and I'm not even gonna mention Rikku's "Read GameFaqs or a magazine and break the game" ability.

Haste didn't do much in OG FF9, since all I did was have HP Regen on everyone and Garnet summons while I heal back to full health.
