I believe it does, yeah. I keep trying to play TO but I just can't get into it, last year I replayed FFT and thought it would be the perfect time to try and beat TO but I guess I'm not pro enough for it.
A PSTV is probably the best way to play the most amount of final fantasy, still no loving Crisis Core though


Is there any way to get TWEWY on iPad now? Is that port even any good or would i be better off tracking down the DS version?

It's strange that the Xbox 360 and Nintendo both had initiatives to make RPGs from a supposed dream team of talent. Which do you will aged better, Lost Odyssey/Blue Dragon/Last Remnant or Pandora's Tower/The Last Story/Xenoblade Chronicles?

I downloaded the FF Portal on my phone and FFI since it was free. Which verson of FFI is this? As in, what's been fixed/changed/still broken (I see they have an MP system rather than the original spell uses)?

All I know about Proto-FFVIII is that it was initially intended to have a huge love triangle between Squall, Seifer and Rinoa. You can still see that plain as day in the game as it receives all kinds of hints and build-up. But, true to form, FFVIII fails to deliver and the subplot just goes nowhere. Kinda like Seifer's overall character arc, sadly. I was very interested to see there is actually some unused dialogue that is still in the game files that has Rinoa talking about why she was attracted to Seifer during her and Squall's scene on the Ragnarok.

There are also the accusations that FFVIII stole Xenogears' budget. We only know for a fact that FFVII stole some of its budget but it seems highly likely that FFVIII did the same.

From various interviews and books on FF8's development:

- The considered having the Gardens transform and merge together as one like in super robots shows but the idea was dropped.

steal sucks so bad.

Enemies have multiple items and since you learn skills from equipment you really want to get it all so every boss fight is 15 minutes of hitting defend and steal over and over and over to get some 1/64th chance to get the rare item which because it's 1999 you can't even look online to see if the rare item will be something you care about or an x-potion.

I've been replaying FF7 on PS4 recently and was annoyed with the guides on gamefaqs because all I was really interested in was missable materia and poo poo like that and they go into too much detail and in classic gamefaqs fashion are all "Make sure you grind a few levels here so you can steamroll the boss" or "make sure you buy all this item for your 99 item run" etc etc, and I remembered I had this neat if kind of hilariously flawed guide when I bought the game. The Versus Books guide. I also remembered that I'd kept it around somewhere but wasn't sure where so I went looking in my storage and found it... and a lot of other interesting memories. When I went all-digital, I got rid of all my games with the exception of some rare imports and favorite games with emotional attachment. So I present to thee...


This thing. Sun-bleached somehow to the point of being almost impossible to read and the glue-binding has mostly come apart so it's just a stack of paper. It came with a really great poster that is still one of my favorite bits of FF7 art but I've since lost it. Also the guide is flat-out wrong about some things but I guess it was based on a pre-release build.


Of course this. Still in good condition except a scratch on the jewel case which is obviously no big deal. Apparently these are worth money these days? Not that I intend to sell it, kinda neat though.


My favorite game bearing the Final Fantasy name! I still fondly remember getting crushed the first few times I played the first match before I started to "get" how an SRPG works.


This piece of crap. I got it to finally play FF5. The games are great but everyone who's played it knows already knows the FF5 translation is overly dry and both games have dialog and menu lag. I can't remember whether it was because they were running their translations on the fly like Chronotrigger or some PSX memory buffer issue. Still, blegh.


Oh hey, I forgot I had this at all. Never got around to finishing it even though I enjoyed it a lot.


Oh gently caress you Lightning why you gotta be in everything

Not pictured are my SNES copies of FF2 US and my FF8 and FF9 because they're all back in California in my parents' garage if they haven't already thrown them away.

I assume we'll actually get a villain rep for 13 (probably Caius) but I wonder if we'll get one for Tactics.

Like Wiegraf, Ajora comes with the benefit of having a built-in transformation. It'd be cool to see her transform into a giant creepy skeleton.

I hope the villain for X is the big whale thing, and it's kept in scale with the other characters. That was the best part of X.

Mind going further into how it is? Doubt I'll get to play it myself, and as someone else who also wasn't a fan of Sword I'd love to hear how a second remake of FFA does things better.

Mega64 posted:

Sword of Mana is amazing in that it had all the elements of a good game without actually being one. The story in particular is mind-boggling, between making a character that dies in the first minute of FFA into a major character that survives the entire journey (and makes you wish he stayed dead) to Dark Lord, the main bad guy who ended up being a puppet for second-in-command and final boss Julius into a tragic misunderstood villain who's still an rear end in a top hat that has a random fling with a vampire and who we're supposed to sympathize with because...? And don't get me started on how God drat overwrought Amanda's death is, or how the isolation of the two main characters in FFA's ending is undercut in Sword by having like fifty loving people around.

I just don't loving get that game. I blame Sword of Mana for essentially killing that series, even though the following three games were all differently bizarre and mediocre in their own unique ways.

I want a Xenogears remake but only if all the old staff were brought in so that is to say, I guess I don't want a Xenogears remake. I guess companies can work together theoretically, though? Still never gonna happen but it seems about as likely as all these other ideas.

Or as long as we are wishing upon a star, Xenogears Episode IV.

Yeah, the WoR plot is basically:

Terra wakes up
Getting Terra to the Returners.
The Returners try to get Terra to Narshe.
Oh no! Terra is missing. We have to find her.
We found Terra, now we have to rescue the Espers (including her father)
Terra wakes up, the Returners ask her to talk to the Espers.
She does, the Espers go batshit
Ghestal asks Terra to negotiate a peace treaty with the Espers.
Hahaha, turns out he's a poo poo! Oh no, everything explodes!

Her importance dies off somewhat in the WoR where the plot becomes "kick Kefka in the junk" but even there she's the character with the absolute closest connection to the central plot and the major threat of defeating Kefka ("it will end magic") applies meaningfully only to her.
