as someone who stomached through it to the end getting sick of awakening and giving up on it is a reasonable "beat it" state

i really wish there was a difficulty between expert and ultimate because i feel like expert is getting too slow for me, but ultimate is way too fast depending on the song

Yea some characters have kinda weird choices for moves and all, I think it came down to them going 'oh poo poo we don't have enough (type of character) just switch someone over quick'. Especially mages, FF has tons of bad rear end damage mages and not a ton of healer types, not too surprising some of the bad rear end nukers suddenly are white mages.

I have a long quest medley where the final boss can drop Black Shards, if that'll do for you. I need Peach Shards and like one Indigo Shard, myself. If you want my map, my FC is 0688-5269-0719

Also, if you have Jeweled Rings, you can try using them before taking on easy battle songs in a Quest Medley and you might luck into a Black Shard.

I'd definitely like that Peach one since I think I only need 1 Indigo Shard at this point. I'm gonna add you now and then go into Online Versus and into recruiting until I see you pop up. What's your Mii's name? dumb question because I just saw it when I added you

I imagine both of those would help but it still might take a try or two. I would recommend playing through the whole thing once just for all the bounties, then if you need a return trip to try for the Black Shard again use a First Class Ticket before entering the Quest.

Alright will give it a try. I actually need all the shards on the map anyway, so either way I'm unlocking things.

It really needs a better difficulty rating system. Sometimes I'll get an Ultimate song where I get SS on the first try, while other times I'll just lose right away. Basic and Expert each tend to have relatively uniform difficulties though.

Yeah it's like they started putting songs in then realized oh poo poo there's like 300 we made, nobody is gonna remember which is the hard one and which is the easy one then shipped the game

PS Shadowninja 64 I equipped a Ribbon on the boss battle of the map you gave me and got 2 black shards :v: Killed the boss twice on his level and he dropped a black shard both times, or maybe one of them was off of Steal I'm not exactly sure. I think loading Rikku up with the Luck boosting songs helped too. Either way now my party has Cloud and Sephiroth in it and people probably think I'm 12 years old

Game is still really cool. Glad I got it digital so I can pop it in whenever, I can see it being something I come back to every once in a while

Should be, I recall reading they'd be free for 2 weeks and the game's only about a week old.

Just FYI, you have to unlock the DLC menu via normal play, but it won't take too long. Then you get to the DLC menu from the File Select screen.

i liked it with stylus and played like 3 songs when i bought it and nodded because it's a good game

then i tried out circle pad + R mode and i was up for like 4 hours straight last night playing it

hard songs are a bit easy, ultimate songs are bonkers, although the two I tried were Man with the Machine Gun and the battle theme from FFX-2 which are my two favorites in the game

I love all the airship themes, esp 6 and 9's. I like that they have a little model of the airship flying through the stage rather than/in addition to your dudes walking through. :3:

I didn't like the art style at all in screenshots but it's grown on me so much already, drat.

Uh nobody told me one of the Chocobo Dungeon tracks you unlock is a remix of Seymour Battle with a speak and spell going "R. U. READY" in the background, wtf. Can I use this in Versus or do they have to have 27,000 Rhythmia too

Minrad posted:

I already spent $1 on music from X-2 lol (the title screen music I have always liked that song)

I really wanna play Balamb Garden but that was one of the last songs to come out in Japan I think. The bike chase music from FF7 might convince me to spend a dollar too

Also it's kinda BS that the Advent Children songs that are just FF7 songs with real instruments are DLC

The art style looks terrible in screenshots but it works when you're focusing on all the little dots and lines on the screen and need to narrowly identify shapes out of the corner of your eye

What's the new songs

The other chocobo dungeon song I unlocked is a battle on big bridge remix. Didn't expect to actually like these
