I'm excited for the FFX HD remake just because I no longer have a PS2

It's not like it would really take any extra effort to use the International version of FFX since it had the English voices and you could choose to make all the text English as well.

Zell's pretty much just wearing those huge JNCO jorts that were so popular when I was in middle school in the mid-late 90s

Square Enix announced Final Fantasy Dimensions for iOS and Android, which is probably a port of that cellphone game Warriors of Light and Darkness since it has the same logo. Was that game supposed to be good? It has a job system and everything so I'm excited for it

I'm actually hella thinking about this too since I never actually beat FF5 and I'm almost done with FF4!

Anyone interested in checking out how FFV plays should give Dr Pepper's low-level Let's Play a read. He abuses the gently caress out of the game mechanics and manages to steamroll most bosses even though his party is at levels 5/4/4/4 at the end of the game.

Dragonatrix posted:I registered for Hard Mode earlier, and I'll probably end up doing it on the PSX version, since I kinda want to see if the translation's as hilariously awful as I remember (Salsa for a character name immediately springs to mind). And yes, they translate Faris' real name as Salsa instead of Sarisa

To be fair though, FF1 was my first RPG period and I had no idea what I was doing despite having the Nintendo Power strategy guide. FF6 was probably the first where I really understood the game mechanics to any significant degree.

I'm really happy to see that so many people count 9 as their favorite since internet opinion on it seems to vacillate a lot. I've always loved it and thought it was charming as hell. The only thing I would really change about it is the slowness of combat.

Got Thief as my first job, just got to the ship graveyard. Grinding on skeletons just to get a couple of daggers so Lenna and Galuf can actually do some damage, but they haven't dropped one yet! Not looking forward to Siren unless I can get them.

Any tips for beating Garula with Thieves besides grinding up levels? He keeps killing me even with the Elven Mantle

Thanks guys. Beat Garula pretty easily, I never usually bother changing rows in FF games. Got Summoner as my second job.

Made it out of Karnak Castle with 9 seconds to spare but all treasures got! Next job is... Bard. Huh. I have a use for playing all those pianos at least...

With Thief/Summoner/Bard so far, every single boss past Garula has been really easy. Bard isn't much use in boss battles besides giving everybody regen, but I've basically just been spamming one of the elemental summons and using two thieves for alternately attacking and healing. Beat Adamantoise, ready to head up to the flying ruins...

Hahahaha I got Chemist for my last job. Doesn't that pretty much mean easymode for the rest of the game? Thief/Summoner/Bard/Chemist. Pretty good team I think. What do I do about jobs until my fourth party member returns?

With my Thief/Summoner/Bard/Chemist party so far the game has been easy as poo poo, I'm doing all the tablet dungeons pretty much just for shits and giggles. For the most part I've had more Gil than I know what to do with.

Hooray!     Exdeath went out like a chump, and Neo Exdeath wasn't much harder. Definitely trying the hard mode next time. This was also the first time I ever beat FFV

I'm pretty sure the PSP version is identical to the GBA version besides graphics, meaning you can choose your party for the endgame and the new section of Mt. Ordeals and Lunar Ruins added in.

The Gunslinger posted:Yeah, I don't agree with everything you said but you definitely make some fair points there about adding some complexity to make up for the automation. I think FFXII works best when you're underleveled for content as even the automation doesn't make up for the challenge and you're constantly tinkering or overriding things to go with the flow. I did the Gilgamesh fights at a very low level and it was probably one of the enjoyable and challenging boss fight in any FF game I've played. The fighting becomes rote when you have god equipment or are just facing little wolves in the desert though.

jivjov posted:I know this has been discussed, but I can't find the specific posts to save my life. I want to get FFV and VI, are the ones up for purchase on PSN utterly horrible, or are they serviceable  ) They're definitely still playable and will do you in a pinch, but the GBA version of FFV is absolutely the best. The GBA version of FFVI isn't that much of an improvement over the SNES version though.

Schwartzcough posted:The loading times aren't super-long on FFV, at least- the battles load a LOT faster than FFIX, for example. The one second load to get into the menu is probably the worst of it. Also, FFV on PSN is often criticized over it's translation, but it seems like different teams were doing the monsters compared to everything else. The monsters have retarded names (Soccer for a squid monster?), but nothing else in the game is that bad. Nothing else in the game has bad grammar (this guy are sick!) or is confusing at all. It IS a pretty bland translation, though. EDIT: Full disclosure, I haven't played FFV PSX since I owned FF Anthology back when it came out in 1999, mainly going on what I remember and what other people have said about it.

I think you could make an interesting sequel to FFVI about rebuilding the world and the struggles that come along with it. Of course from Squeenix it would turn out to be ham-fisted as gently caress so maybe not.

X is pretty linear for a while like XIII is, but I found the gameplay and character progression much more satisfying in X for some reason.

Artix74 posted:So have we found anything really terrible like Ubi-style DRM, or is it just the original cleaned up a tiny bit? If there's nothing appalling about it, I'll probably pick it up. Worst case scenario, it can just be modded and fixed up a bit.

Fingers McLongDong posted:This is a weird question, but in FF9 when you advance disks, does the game require you to use previous disks to return to other areas for side quests? I know other games did and it's been a very long time since I last played 9. I'm replaying it using an android ps1 emulator and I want to be able to delete the giant rom files for each disk as I'm done with them to conserve memory space on my phone.
