apparently you need to jump in a hole to get it. i think the camp closes forever as soon as you leave so i might have to go back to an old save or write it off.

I don't know about a hole, you just walk around a tent or something, I think

there's another chest you investigate that you end up jumping in to avoid a guard though lol

that map is inaccessible after you leave though yeah

ff7R had the same "it's all one long hallway" complaints that people level against the series and it owned. not every game has to be "open world" and the traditional JRPG structure just works for final fantasy. sometimes opening up a slow trickle of sidequests and minigames through the story is fine, not every game has to be "find 10 behemoth pelts"

I'd love for them to straight up have a world map that just goes between different locations but we're probably long past that

i love the 3d version but it's not where you want to start with it. it's probably better for a replay on hard mode, which was how the DS version shipped

emulate the snes game imo if you think you would like the quaint original translation otherwise do the pixel remaster

lucky, have fun with the game. i think rebirth is coming winter of 2023 and only for playstation 1st just like remake. currently debating if i should borrow my friends ps5 to play it on release or try to go dark on the game til the PC release, which may be impossible since i consider everything a spoiler and modern day internet/algorithms tell you poo poo no matter what.

you better believe within two days all of your youtube recommendations are gonna be about how cloud dies and zack replaces him or some poo poo

Getting the crafting leaderboard title is the most demented video game thing I've ever done

I never touched the crafting

I joined one of the goon guilds during Shadowbringers and asked in the chat about crafting endgame tank armor for myself and a guy offered to talk to me about it and then just started making it for me while he talked super exasperatedly like I had asked him to do something super inconvenient and acted like I was being rude when I said I had to go in like 20 minutes so I had to sit there longer than I meant to and talk to this dude while he made armor

I was in the goon guild for ffxiv when i played and i finally unlocked glams and got the mats for bikini armor lol. I asked in the fc if anyone could help me so someone was like yeah, come meet at the fc house. I go there and its a lalafell dude. He does his thing, gives me the armor and i thank and tip him. I’m like ah thanks so much, and as I’m about to bounce he’s like try it on. I had no choice but to indulge him lol

in the original final fantasy 2 you spend most of the game trying to the spell ultima and once you finally get it its useless because one of the game coders snuck in and made it that way because he thought it was realistic and they couldnt fix it because he coded it in a loving cipher and wouldnt undo it lmao

no shot it isn't just that's what he told his boss because he didn't feel like fixing it lol

Never actually played through any FF game from before X, aside from playing a bit of 8 at a friend's house. I was thinking of starting off with the FF6 pixel remaster.

if you're interested at all in the previous ones, I'd go back before FF6: it's the most mechanically and narratively complex of the 2D games and the others may feel shallow compared to it

the pixel remaster for VI is pretty good and is widely available but it's hard to beat the classic being emulated on snes9x

the only PRs I bought are II and III because those probably are really the best versions of them, especially III

fellow imps, I have completed one of the most stressful gaming accomplishments of my life: clearing floors 1-200 of Palace of the Dead solo in Final Fantasy XIV.

POTD is a side-content area inspired by roguelites; you clear sets of 10 floors at a time (9 normal floors and a boss floor at the end), with the floors being generally randomized in terms of layout, enemy placement, and treasure chests. the chests can give you special items that are only functional within POTD, like make you tankier or do more damage for 8 minutes, or reveal the map of a floor including invisible traps, or turn you into a manticore that can oneshot any non-boss mob. There are traps freaking everywhere, and later on even individual monsters hit super hard. Not only that, but especially as you go into the deep floors the floors themselves will sometimes give you really hosed up debuffs and your items that can deal with them are extremely limited. you get an hour per set of 10 floors and in the last fifty floors or so that hour starts to feel real tight.

and there's permadeath of course. if you fail the run is over and you have to start back at floor 1. This content was primarily designed for groups of four though. Generally you'd have at least one other party member who can rez people, and as long as your entire party doesn't wipe you can recover. solo you don't have that luxury though, except for very limited items that can rez you, leaving you weakened and wasting any buffs you had at the time (often even if you use one of these you end up screwed over by wasting your other items and wasting time)

You get a fancy title for clearing 1-200 solo, so your character can be called The Necromancer.

you can sit on a bench at floor 200 after beating it



e: idk why my screenshot is so boblike, my monitor isn't ultrawide or anything lol
