What was so bad about XIV again? I don't play MMORPGs, but I hear all the time (well, whenever the game gets brought up) about how this is the worst ever.

penguinmambo posted:Coming fresh of X2 and its job system (which mostly own, though there's some you sort of get then never use again) and not really having played the early ones, what other FFs use the job system or close approximation without feeling like there's a bunch of useless jobs? You'd probably like 5. Tactics is also great, but it might require more time than you're willing to invest in it. You should avoid 3 because there are several jobs that exist only to be used once or twice and then never again.

I really like the  art style. It's cute, it fits the game, and looks way better than, say, the sprites used in FFIV PSP or Dimensions.

Why would they suggest making Basch a White Mage?

voltron lion force posted:I think because the Holy rod combined with Basch's high strength allows for a lot of damage from a class that's normally pure support. That seems like an awful lot of effort for what amounts to a novelty effect. Would White Mage Basch with a Holy Rod be dealing significantly more damage than, say, Basch in any actual physical-based class? Because "At the end of the game you can use White Mage Basch the same way you could have been using him the whole game if you had chosen Knight" isn't a very compelling argument and I can't imagine this idea really catching on.

Because Terra is actually the whiny protagonist everyone seems to think Cloud is. She's mopey and wishywashy and literally has a conversation with someone about whether or not she is capable of love. Everything about her is awful and annoying except for ability to blow poo poo up with her mind.

ImpAtom posted:Like I said, it's about execution. Terra is well-executed and so the fact that she's got a backstory and personality that would drive people batshit isn't as apparent. The other half is voice acting, because a lot of her lines would be a lot worse with voice acting. I think it's a combination of her voice acting and the limitations of FFVI's sprite work. The body language in FFVI ("looking down at the ground when you're sad") is much more tolerable than her body language in Dissidia.

Pesky Splinter posted:Yeah, that was a pretty stupid part. Turnip is a fine name  I'm playing Final Fantasy VIII now and boy are there are lot of train rides! The Sorceress's Parade at the end of disc one was actually really neat and suitably creepy. I have a lot of respect for the way they mixed the FMVs and gameplay. The actual things that were happening sure were loving retarded though! I feel like the Junction system would have been better received if the menus weren't such a mess. And the Draw system would have been better received if battles moved faster. (Right now each battle takes several minutes because I am sperg who has to draw a sizable stock of every new spell I come across then have Selphie tap the enemy until Squall can Card it.)

The achievement list is pretty funny. Not "funny" like "Hey, the achievements in this game were really clever and well thought out and showed that the folks who came up with the list genuinely love the game and all its silly little details." It's "funny" in the "This is a product they are actually selling and people actually purchasing it" sense. TurnipFritter fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Aug 15, 2012 |

Don't feel bad, the first time I played I didn't realize you could select other units to dispatch by pressing L/R on the pre-battle formation screen.

Bongo Bill posted:Speaking of confusing and disappointing iOS-related decisions made by Square Enix, it seems that Final Fantasy Dimensions will cost $30 in total, making it the most expensive game they've released on the platform to date and their most expensive digital release on any platform, unless you count all the FFXIII-2 DLC. They're charging as much for a single chapter of Final Fantasy Dimensions, in fact, as they are for Chrono Trigger. 30 bucks for an iOS game? Square Enix...

Here's a bunch of new Lightning Returns details. Despite taking place hundreds of years in the future or whatever, everyone who was in FFXIII-2 are still alive and at the same age because no one ages or dies anymore. Which is great, because it means that Hope can make a triumphant return in a support role: quote:Hope will give guidance to Lightning via wireless com.

Cityinthesea posted:If it only has one ending... why would I want to play it again? Maybe it's like Dragon Quarter and you have to constantly restart the game if you want to actually finish it. Or maybe a lot of the quests are mutually exclusive so to see all/more than half of the content you'll have to play it again. Or maybe new quests/bosses/events/costumes/whatever are unlocked in new game plus.

Sex_Ferguson posted:Why is Versus taking so long? Does Square have a team dedicated to the game at all or does some guy walk in every day and write like a few lines of code and then leave to go work on games that are actually being released? Normally when JRPG developers officially announce a game, they estimate development is at least ~30% complete. When Versus XIII was announced, the only thing they had was the trailer. Everything was in Nomura's head and they had literally nothing on paper, let alone any actual coding done. Development of the actual game engine wasn't complete until 2007 (later Nomura said that the gameplay uses a completely new engine developed specifically for Versus, but I don't know if that actually means game engine or if that's a mistranslation of him talking about it having new gameplay mechanics that only exist in Versus XIII)... In conclusion, they gave Tetsuya Nomura a vanity project and it's going about as well as you would imagine.

But Rocks Hurt Head posted:I've never played Cross but does anyone know how development went so wrong on the game? I don't think I've ever heard someone complement the game without massive caveats. The creative team got together for a brainstorming session, asked "What did people really love about Chrono Trigger?" After they finished making that list, they pinned it on a bulletin board and said "Ok, let's not do any of this." Which, well, it's a problem when that list contains things like "it's a fun breezy adventure" and "charming, distinctive characters." That, or they were making a stand-alone title, got like 70% done and then were told it was supposed to be a Chrono Trigger sequel.

I liked it when Prishe showed up in Duodecim even though I've never played her game and her personality is annoying as poo poo. And you know why? Because she actually had a personality (even if it was annoying) and showed like the vaguest glimmer of interest in the world around her.Endorph posted:On the other hand, Kefka's English VA in Dissidia is basically the best thing ever. Also C) in Terra's case, they just rehash her entire character arc from FF6.

Pollyanna posted:I'm trying to play FF2 Advance again and why the hell does nobody but Firion do any decent damage? I can't figure out why the hell he's doing like 500+ damage while Guy, who's loving dual wielding axes, does maybe 75 and Maria doesn't hit half the time. It's not skill levels, since they're almost all equal when it comes to their weapons, and there's no major difference in attack between Firion and Guy (53 versus 43). Firion has a Wing Sword and Golden Shield, Guy's dual-wielding Battle Axes. I don't loving get it, this system makes no sense to me. I'd wager that there's a significant difference between Guy and Firion's Accuracy.

Mustach posted:2 is very straightforward compared to his other games. There is a direct, consistent correspondence between performing an action and raising a stat — it's not like a SaGa where stats and skills are gained randomly. Kawazu asked: `Why does the enlightened man not stand on his feet and explain himself?' And he also said: `It is not necessary for speech to come from the tongue.' Dr Pepper posted:Bravely Default is looking cool. They have no plans to bring it over at this time, but please continue to tweet and facebook about Square Enix's Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, from the makers of Final Fantasy.
