If you're going to ask what the most genuinely popular FF game is, it's 7. You can argue about how people don't like a 7 that actually exists or whatever but it's 7.

Barudak posted:Thought he just cast ruin for some reason. That isn't entirely correct. It's the loophole thing. Bart's plan involves a gigantic mass human sacrifice which requires enough people dying at once to cause a huge issue. Bart being able to kill someone individually doesn't go against the fact he can't enact the mass human sacrifice on his own. You could argue that he could go around killing a bunch of people himself but that wouldn't necessarily be enough considering the entire plan revolves around "All the loving death at once."

seiferguy posted:Gau is very good in WoB, I agree. My go-to for him was Templar since it gives him protect and Fire 2 early on, which is especially good during the protect the Esper sequence at Narshe. But I rarely take him to Kefka's tower because it's hard to find a good fit for him. By Kefka's tower you have basically infinite possibilities for him even with basic rages, ignoring the *really* broken poo poo or Charm existing.

Ciaphas posted:FF15 is weird to me, I'm actually enjoying the fighting and music and the like quite a bit but I come away from playing for a few hours feeling oddly disappointed, and I'm not entirely sure why It's a game that has an incredible amount of potential that shine through constantly but it also is blatantly and seriously obvious how patched together and rushed it is so even though it does things well it's kind of easy to come away from it feeling like "if this had a sensible production schedule it would be something amazing."

BrightWing posted:I always seem to run into this weird juxtaposed sentiment that Dragon Quarter has a bunch of weird as gently caress mechanics, then turning around to people jumping in that it's one of the best in the series. Dragon Quarter has a lot of weird mechanics and one which is probably poorly implimented but those weird mechanics tend to come together very well and for an engaging and interesting game.

It's a pain to grind up AP for stuff.

lobster22221 posted:I'll be honest, I said I hated Chocobo hot and cold, but I never really gave it a chance. Was it any good? The rewards seem nice, unlike every other minigame. It can be fun if you're into the concept. It's one of the better minigames in no small part because, yeah, the rewards are really really good for fairly minimal effort. There are more rewarding minigames (most of FFX's for example) but they're atrocious to play.

Yes Leviathan was just hold B and enjoy being Goku that's the point The Leviathan fight is pretty and all but there are other games (hell, other S-E games) which have fights that are similarly pretty if not better and actually more fun to play. I didn't have any problem with Titan but Leviathan suuuucked.

Fister Roboto posted:I'd say Barthandelus 1 is a pretty strong contender. He's definitely the first actually challenging fight in the game. Prior fights just let you coast through with COM/RAV/MED, but Bart has a soft dps check, and one that a lot of people wipe to because they see him charging up a big move and they immediately turtle up. Well, you can, but it involves accessories/weapon upgrading instead, which is way more tedious.

I hate to say it but no, Edgar's line in the Japanese version is explicitly that. "{ｴﾄﾞｶﾞｰ}「さすがに犯罪か…… やめとこう" It's something like "That'd be illegal... I better not." (He's referring to hitting on her by the way but it's still creepy as poo poo.)

FFXIV is super open to playing it casually. The super heavy hardcore grinding is just people who have already finished the basic stuff and are filling out their logs. If you just want to see the story and keep up with basic content you can do that trivially.

Cleretic posted:That's not surprising, since the SNES didn't even have diagonal directional input (fighting games were designed for arcade cabinets that had sticks, so their ports still give a poo poo about diagonals). I feel like doing the full motion with diagonal inputs is pretty important to execute the Blitzes quickly and reliably anyway, trying to be clever will just gently caress up the execution of things like 'trace a circle'. It isn't about being clever. You just double tap a direction instead. It's like entering the konami code.

The White Dragon posted:All I know is the last time I did dungeons, I loaded in and three other high level players ran out way ahead, and as I was trying to catch up, it gave me a prompt to roll for loot and then it kicked me out to the world map and the quest was marked as ready to turn in. I'm not looking for a grueling experience, I just don't even know what you're even supposed to do in a dungeon because nobody wants to level sync, everyone just wants to blow through it at a high level at max speed so they can get their merit and hosed if the new player is lost. You have to literally choose to unsync with a pre-made party. What you're stating could not have happened unless you chose it. Edit: Even in an unsync'd party there are a minimum of three boss fights in every dungeon and short of using walk to go ahead you're going to catch up to the party quickly.

There's a good chance it could be Geno from Super Mario RPG since people won't shut the gently caress up about him and Geno's rights technically belong to SE. Geno was also one of the Mii alternate costumes which so far have all been made characters.

ApplesandOranges posted:I didn't like XIII's rating system for fights either because it actively punishes slow careful play. The issue with this (in a lot of games) is that slow and careful play is usually also extremely boring play and actively punishing it is one of the few ways to both include slower options without getting people to rely on them. It may sound dumb but people will actively refuse to use fun playstyles if there's a safe-and-effective style that is boring as poo poo and adding an incentive to use the faster playstyles is a must.

The big thing that the 13 AI doesn't allow you to do is focus on slow turtle strategies because the game is geared around rapid fire damage. This is arguably a flaw in the system if you like slow turtle strategies and that's a fair point, but it's also not one the game supports and honestly is arguably just playing the game badly. It's a winning strategy in the same way that doing nothing but firing Ebony and Ivory in Devil May Cry is a winning strategy: It works but it's incredibly slow and tedious and pointless. Outside of that the game's AI generally performs optimal actions for their role. There are a few tricks you can do with manual control but most of those involving the main character (who in turn CAN be manually controlled.) There's some fine-tuning to the targeting system (something 13-2 improves) which can improve things but the honest truth is that FF13's system wants you to go as full offense as you reliably can and is geared around that.

Caidin posted:Man I can't even remember what the gently caress was even happening in XIII-2, like we were time traveling to multiple alternate histories to stop the bad guy from destroying time except doing so let's him destroy time and Snow is fighting a giant Flan and is also a time cop(?) and Hope was the science king of man kind? And also I was doing this dressed like Commander Shepard? All three FFXIII games basically revolve around the characters going "man, being trapped in an endless cycle of misery sucks, sure would be nice if we could loving do something about it. It's basically all God's fault so presumably the solution is making God fix it" with everyone involved dealing with increasingly high tiers of divinity until Lightning murders God. Unironically the basis for a really good story is there in the FF trilogy. It's basically an entire worldsetting of people who fate shits on who are struggling to find a way to break increasingly ridiculous lovely fates only to have the universe make it worse upon them. It would, genuinely, take very little to make the story a coherent and thematically interesting (if depressing as poo poo) story, which is why the areas where it fails are all the more frustrating.
