Going through RoV missions, keep seeing these messages. Looked all around and can't figure out what it is:

It means you can watch the cutscenes for those expacks without having to go through the missions, if you don't want to.

One glance at Record Keeper and All the Bravest should have told you that.

Heads up you can get Kupofried, the bounty clock, and the infinite XP/CP rings during this event FYI

If I'm reading this right..there's a chance you might get the last two numbers right and be able to get those rings, out of your ten picks but you won't know until June sometime? Fun.

You can upgrade your bag in Jueno, but note you have the Mog Sack and Satchel (one of them comes from having an OTP and upgrades alongside your main bag) which you can access anywhere through the Mog House menu option, Wardrobe 1/2 can be accessed anywhere also and you can equip stuff directly from there and leave your main bag for other doodads.

So I took the plunge and downloaded this game. But I seem to have a problem: When I log in with my character the game looks terrible, can't read any NPC names, and there isn't any UI. The chat takes up a third of the screen and there aren't any UI buttons. So as far as I can tell, the only way to end the game is to make it crash my alt-tabbing. It's probably a graphics issue, but I can't get to any configuration menus. Anyone ever encounter anything like this?

Did you run the configuration? It's a separate executable.

Might be integrated into Ashita itself now, but I'm not positive on that.

The reason we have FF7, FF9, and FF10 remastered on PS4 and not FF8 is because SE lost the source for FF8

FF7 on PS4 (and now Switch and Bone) is explicitly a port of the PC port, so no, it's just because it's FF8

And to think they wanted to put more games on it. Thank God that never happened.

Dirge of Cerberus multiplayer, Fantasy Earth Zero, Front Mission Online and the JP release of EQ2 all ran on the service, though I'm not actually sure if they were in the POL Viewer or just used the account backend. Whichever would be more terrible, I'd assume.

did they ever talk about a switch port

would that even work? I played this on a gpd win for awhile but good lord did that thing get hot after awhile. I assume the switch has better hardware but I also don't know what the wifi quality is like on the switch

They can't even move the PC client out of D3D8, there's no chance of it being ported to another system.

Subbing DNC for Spectral Jig is never a bad idea, I think you can get invis/sneak from the Survival Guides too? Not always the most ideal depending on where you're going though due to having to cancel invis to interact with anything.

This sounds silly, but make sure you get all the parts for it, it's split like a bunch of ZIP/RAR files.

Definitely play on Asura, you can filter out the merc spam and whatnot - it's only worse there because that's where most EN players are.

Most of the texture replacement stuff is kinda bad and has a habit of crashing the client in busy areas (namely Domain Invasion). Windower is definitely still a thing though and you'll likely also want to set up dgVoodoo because the game still uses Direct3D8 and modern GPUs don't like that much.

Shantotto 1 is always available, Shantotto II (the good one) comes and goes with campaigns. She is available now, though. Speak to a Greeter Moogle, buy her Cipher for 300 points and trade it in.

e: lol I did not refresh

There's also Domina Shantotto for 100 points but I can't remember if she has any use other than filling out trusts for getting the boost for having lots
