AzraelNewtype posted:X doesn't have the ATB system at all, but X-2 has the best incarnation of the ATB system Square ever developed. X is the one and only instance of the Conditional Turn-based Battle system. Mega Man X Command Mission ripped it off fairly wholesale, in case you're ever bored and masochistic and want something new that handles that way. But really, you probably should forget that I mentioned it, only tears lie that way. I thought it was referred to in game by that name, but perhaps not. In any case, it was the best method of arranging turns and actions.

exquisite tea posted:Yeah that all sounds really horrible. At least the original FFVI is quaint with its odd word choice in places and not desperately trying to make an R-rated game. Why do people latch onto this stuff, when the meat of the romhack is the altered abilities and equipment? "Keep your hands off my FFVI", I guess. Seriously, it's fun. Try it out before dismissing it.

Kanpachi posted:I'm with you. But man, I've been eager enough for someone to grease FF6's wheels that I might be willing to overlook it. I probably have the original script memorized anyway. The mod strongly recommends you play on Wait mode because of all the new mechanics, but good luck, brother!

Himuro posted:The dialogue also isn't noticeably hard to read or understand, but wow, it's such a step up from FF4 - the only FF I've played in Japanese - in terms of kanji use, it's as if FF targeted a totally different age bracket by the time of FF8's release. That may be. It might also be a technical issue. The resolution on the 8bit and 16bit systems makes it hard to display the more complicated kanji without making it look like a giant mess.

Endorph posted:Not Final Fantasy, but you can see it in Persona too. Aigis has blonde hair and blue eyes, Teddie has blonde hair and blue eyes, they're both non-humans whose character arc is about trying to fit into human society. This should about cover them all: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PhenotypeStereotype

Zaphod42 posted:I was always bummed that they felt like they had to replace Lulu. She was really cool, in a non-traditional FF strong woman kinda way. And then they cut her out of Wakka's Angels and replaced her with a teenager. I thought Lulu hooking up with Wakka and having a baby was a perfect way to show that life has moved on. A late 30 something lady wouldn't fit the whole Yu-Ri-Pa style anyway.

Schwartzcough posted:Uh, she was 22 in X, and 24 in X-2. She's not that old, she just seems like it next to crack-head Rikku. That hardly changes the point. It's about how she acts, and while a mother hen has a place in X, not so much in X-2. Edit: Also she was only "22" because of silly anime age conventions.

Help Im Alive posted:It's a dumb theory but Squall gets impaled with a giant shard of ice and is ok 5 minutes later so I can at least see how it started It's a dumb theory because anime/games are incapable of introducing some psychological twist without beating the viewer/player over the head with German psychobabble. If the latter half of the game was a dream, the writers wouldn't be able to restrain themselves.

Pyroxene Stigma posted:This mindset is exactly what was wrong with FFXI, wisdom I can only impart as a JRPG old man at 27. XIV respects your time. The only aspect that doesn't is relic weapons, and even one part of that process is getting patched Monday for being a lovely grind. Oh? I unsubbed a month or so ago. What's changing?

Kyrosiris posted:Atma drop rate "more than doubled", cost of Animus books effectively halved (it appears by all information that Myth to Soldiery will be a 1:1 conversion, and Animus books are gonna be 750 Soldiery next patch instead of 1500 Myth). Oh cool. Is this the 2.4 patch coming up? Will they be unlocking Syrcus?

So, I started up the ffx-2 side of the HD collection, and threw this new "festivalist" class onto Yuna to try it out, and she throws down a 1.7k firaga on the first boss of the game. Not bad, if a bit broken.

Don Gato posted:She can already light people on fire by waving her arms around, attacks with possibly possessed dolls and wears a dress made out of belts and fur in a tropical climate. Nothing about her actually makes sense so conversely her keeping the same model despite being pregnant actually makes sense ! Or, all those things, so if you could get over all that only to be upset that she doesn't have a baby bump, well...
