They showed off a bit of Theatrythm: Curtain Call during a FF14 event. You'll be able to play with the controller buttons instead of the stylus this time around. (you know if it even releases in the US)

Systematic System posted:By break, you really mean, basically the only way to do it. God help you if you try to fight Earth Eater or the watery Sphere man without Attack Reels as it'll take an eternity. Quick Hit was nerfed for the International Version: it now costs three times as much MP, and is a "Rank 3" ability rather than "Rank 2". For example, using an item is a "Rank 1" ability, and regular attack is "Rank 4." Uh, what does an attacks Rank mean or do? This is the first I've heard of the mechanic.

Yeah, like it matters that much, since a Hasted Quick Hit still lets you whack the enemy about 4 or 5 times in a row.

While it depends on where you are in the game, there are a few things: -A Songstress can practically shut down any enemy formation til the last boss of Chapter 2 using a combination of Darkness Dance, Samba of Silence, Sleepy Shuffle and/or Breakdance. -Dark Knights' Darkness ignores enemy defenses. Pair two up with an Alchemist to Stash Mega-Potions and you have a powerful team til late-game. -The Cat Nip near the end of the game can be abused with the Gunner's Trigger Happy or Lady Luck's Four Dice for very heavy damage.

Yeah I definitely don't understand what Square is doing with some of their phone remakes. The enemy sprites look great but then everything else looks like it was made in RPGmaker in about 5 minutes. I'm not against revisiting or remastering the art from 4,5, and 6... but at least do it justice, you know? The SNES games had fantastic spritework so if you're going to replace them you oughta' have something beautiful lined up.

I wasn't masochistic enough to go after all the superbosses though. I only remember the one in the Desert that has upwards of 350k HP, no thank you.

The actual "International" version (the Japanese re-release that actually says International on the box and title screen) was 60 Hz as well, just PAL regions got the bad 50 Hz port, like with a lot of games back then.

Quick question for the US Vita owners of X/X-2. Does the physical release contain multiple cartridges or have they made X-2 a download only? I'm interested in this but I don't want to have to buy a new memory card just for 1 game.

Skeezy posted:For the Vita, the box comes with a physical copy of X and a download code for X-2. Shite. I knew this was the case in the UK but i hoped it was different over in the US. What is the point of a physical release if it only provides a download code? I've avoided digital releases for a while because my PSN connection is spotty at best which makes downloading a game of that size a chore at the best of times (assuming the connection doesn't get completely lost during the download). Was any of this mentioned in the pre release materials or did it only become known once the game was in people's hands? Waldorf Sixpence posted:On the plus side, this means you can buy it, play X, and sell the code for X-2 to someone else while pretending it never existed Unfortunately, I am one of those scumbags who loved X-2 (though some of the costume design and Leblanc were irredeemably terrible). Not having a physical copy means my desire for the vita version just plummeted. A shame really.
