Since everyone won't stop talking about pink-haired female Raiden, I would like for someone to sell me on any of the trilogy. Keep in mind, I only played FFIV a bit- post Mist Dragon murder and subsequent bombing- and have most of my FF hours sunk into FFRK. And as far as other genres go? Well... I like the shoostings and Diablo 3's mechanics are warming up to me.In Training posted:Lightning is absolutely nothing like Raiden. I said sell me on it not further ruin it for me widespread fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Dec 28, 2015 |

Secondly, I'd rather take a cliche since well... apparently XIII is the one that seems to literally take the title "Worst Final Fantasy game in the series", excluding spinoffs. And thirdly, ow the edge who thought this was a good idea Not sure on the chocobo. Get back to me on that.

Meanwhile, I'm getting into FFIV. First off, the ability to save anywhere feels pretty good, if not awkward. Secondly, is it me or was MIDI common on SNES? And thirdly, does C/Kain's Jump or Decil's Dark Wave cost anything besides time?

bloodychill posted:It means that unless a trap is used, every fight temporarily halts. It broke up the gameplay in a way I found frustrating more than satisfying. If you were to watch where the monster runs, then paintballing would be less important. Obviously it's flat required for flying monsters/if you bothered to grab a skill that makes you sense when to catch a monster. But if I remember correctly, the monster limps towards an area entrance, then flies off if it can. Moldy Taxes posted:I've heard of a few issues people have with Monster Hunter that, while I disagree with I can understand where they're coming from, but I don't know how paintballing is troublesome when the game dumps them on you through low rank and after two or three large monsters you understand that this is going to be A Thing You Do. And while you can't outright buy paintballs, you can still duplicate the mats with the Wycoon.

bloodychill posted:It helps that pretty much any decent venue will not give a poo poo about the you smoking but they might throw you out if you start hugging random people and they get complaints. Molly is popular for certain types of shows though. I would assume molly would at least make people use the flashier moves in any FF, also. But, are there like sectioned off areas for smokers that happen to have a weed cig in their hand? Or is it just "light up anywhere, just don't go apeshit alright"?

OKAY, and LR just lost me again. I think it has to do with the... how do I put it... excessive religious babble. Like, before, it was fine. But this loving Inquisitor tasked with figuring out a murder scene is just like "oh these dudes should embrace God and see the purity and all that". And I'm not sure if this free Deathless mask is even helping things. Or ANY of the free DLC consoles had (save for Aerith Garb  )I have to ask. Does Lightning even realize she's helping a stable time loop? Or is this beyond time loops.

ImpAtom posted:Your complaints are sort of odd in a game where God is the loving villain. I'm not even spoiling that it's absurdly obvious from the start and half the game is dedicated to Lightning going "Hm, well, God is a poo poo but I DO want to see my sister again." Oh. Well... huh. Should have picked up on that from the first trip into Lightning's head. But yeah, I will be honest. I get that there's heavy handed religion-based plots in other JRPGs but... I guess here it just rubs off as getting close to edgy status? I dunno. Probably just me. NikkolasKing posted:You've played the previous two games, right? Well just know that, Destiny was 2-0 against our heroes but after LR it will be 2=1. I believed I skipped to the end for gameplay/HDD reasons.

So before I get back into LR, I just have to ask: Am I combatting wrong if all I do is do full combo hold-the-button attacks then schemata swap? Like, I know I should guard and bring pots but... when does combat get a bit more involved?

ImpAtom posted:You're going to get wrecked really hard later on if you don't set up defensive abilities. Also you shouldn't be holding the button. Attacks have timed press (sort of like Mario) where if you successfully pull it off you deal more damage. You should be tapping as you hit/as you cast the spell instead. Oh. Well that is real good to know, actually. But when do I get the defensive stuff? Post-Luxerion? Or do I just happen upon them.

So once more, I'm back to going through LR. Reading the little loading blurb about the Oracle Drive doohickey I found made me realize that, well, people in the Warren- maybe everywhere in this new country/city-state/etc- are loving dumb mainly for going "Oh, this thing says this'll happen so best not do anything to change it, even as this woman who's gonna make this happen runs around committing genocide to the Niblets and Gremlins". Special note to how I only stopped two deaths out of the 901 daily ones or whathaveyous by killing a few small monsters in pursuit of getting timing down. Is this supposed to make me feel a bit empathetic towards Lightning? Because if I was in a reality where my sis's fiance becomes evil and is in charge of a religious city to a point of declining common sense, I'd lean towards Miss Genocider With The Pink Hair.
