yeah, ff4 is weird because the "hardtype" version is only officially available on the wonky ports. does a dual shock 4 actually get picked up by a laptop if you just use micro-USB to USB or w/e? i guess i never thought to try.

Gag I started Lightning Returns and I thought I would remember the stories from 13-1 and 13-2 but i feel SO lost... And yet for some reason I feel like, even if I remembered everything, it woudlnt really make a difference? My experience with Square sequels is that they always just make up totally new stuff for every game anyway.

I suddenly remembered this really long, vivid post someone made on GameFAQs sometime in the very early 00s about how Final Fantasy VI is about growing up (the early stages of the game are about childhood- growing, learning, etc- the chaotic Ruined World is meant to be teen years and puberty and mood swings and crap and the end of the game is adulthood, where everything is more stable and ‘normal’ but the magic is all gone) I remember it being one of the craziest things I’d read up to that point and I’ve been trying to find it for ages- anyone else remember this at all? I know there’s a lot of old GameFAQs lurkers/posters here.

I was really hype on FFXII on Switch but I’m starting to understand some of the criticism after I whooped a boss’s rear end without touching the controller. I’m pretty early in but how does the difficulty curve out?

are any of the modern ports of 8 or 9 any good or should I just do the originals on ps1?

FF6 is more or less my favorite game of all time. I tried playing the phone port (which is the same as the Steam port) and I hated it.

Then later on the same day I tried it on my nvidia shield portable, which is basically an android device with a fold-down screen and an xbox 360 gamepad built in, and I enjoyed it way more. so I think it was playing without a gamepad that was really bothering me

the only thing that sucks about it is the character sprites look pretty goofy. they look like something you'd see in RPG maker. the re-drawn enemy graphics are decent, as are the mode 7 graphics and some other stuff.

i find the GBA translation the best, and a tie between the android/mobile port and the snes one. the snes one has a lot of quirks I like, but the more updated translations make things a lot clearer and are easier to follow the plot with. i personally hate fan translations (unless it's something like where someone takes the GBA translation and hacks it into the SNES ROM, which no one has done yet for FF6)

but anyway if PC is absolutely your only option i'd probably say just download the original SNES ROM and an emulator, even if it contradicts a lot of what i just said. I would say the GBA one but even with the snes audio hack it still sounds like poo poo and the resolution is a lot lower which might turn you off to the game

Man, I'm 7 hours into the second half of FFVI, and I just found out that I was supposed to wait for Shadow on the Floating Continent. I'm kicking myself because that was even mentioned in the Before I Play guide, but I thought the hint was referring to an earlier scene. Are there any particularly good scenes with that character in the second half of the game? Is it worth going back and repeating the seven hours of the game? (I have a save from right before the key point.)

VikingofRock posted:

Man, I don't have nearly as much time to play video games as I used to. If I'm gonna sink 40+ hours into a JRPG, I'm gonna check a spoiler-free guide to make sure I'm not gonna miss anything huge because I'm not gonna get another chance at a playthrough for a while.

...and then apparently ignore said guide. Oh well

how did they screw up the psx ports of ff6 and chrono trigger so bad? i don't remember noticing a ton of loading in native psx rpgs

Bicyclops posted:

Bicyclops posted:

the chrono trigger one is so unplayable, it's insane. it's not even that they didn't put any effort into it, because they added all those movies and some tie-ins to chrono cross and whatever, but the load times before every fight really just gently caress up the whole game.

Bicyclops posted:

those aren't in the playstation version. it's just a few references in the cartoons they add for some of the endings.

ff6 is probably one of my favorites, but i have to admit that the class system is awkward at best. they just sort of plaster one of the ff5 jobs onto each of the 14 characters, and tying stuff like Mug and Control to an accessory sometimes feels like an afterthought. plus, without gamefaqs level knowledge of how to get all the blue magic and rage, someone playing for the first time like aVerySpecialFriend would have no way of unlocking the secret to resurrect General Leo and get him in your party.
