Explopyro posted:The popularity of this game always somewhat baffled me; it just never quite clicked with me (aside from there being good music). I'm looking forward to seeing whether your rewrite will change my mind. I feel this way about FF7, which I never got the appeal of. I guess this one here will always have some special place in my heart as the first Final Fantasy I played. But it's not all nostalgia, because FF6 rocks, a lot.

Falconier111 posted:As an aside, how much do you folks want to see of the Cloisters? I’m inclined to breeze past them and just cover the highlights so as not to prolong my torment, but that isn’t exactly in the spirit of LPing, you know? I believe most people here are in it for the story, so skip away. But I guess it should be noted how the one in that cold place is kinda special.

bewilderment posted:I don't understand why people are calling this minigame hard? The timing is kinda tight and there's no room for error. Also you only get one chance here. So logically, a lot of people would remember failing this.

Black Robe posted:Okay, I'm no die-hard follower of sportsball, but how does literally the worst team in the world who haven't made it past the first round in who knows how many years get seeded? It's just random chance. Basically, the tournament is structured as a classical competition pyramid with 8 teams and random distribution. But there are only 6 teams around. Maybe the other teams died recently. This structure effectively means that two lucky teams win the first of the three matches by default. It's a bad structure for a tournament, but what are you gonna do about it? Giving out those freebies randomly is at least better than making the ones on top working even less for it.

I know there are technical limitations and all, but honestly, one of the weirdest parts of blitzball is that it happens in a water sphere, but the whole gameplay happens on a plane. Everyone is always on the same height. You could basically play it on a field without changing any mechanics. Guys, you trained holding your breath to dive in a spherical pool of water. Use that!

Logistically speaking, this part always felt weird and a bit stupid to me. In the time it took for Tidus to be distracted by that little bar fight, -the Psyches kidnapped Yuna -they Informed Wakka and Lulu -and Lulu had enough time to come over from the stadium May I make a slight request? I think you should put the plaintext of Al-beth in spoilertags behind that. I don't want to bother opening a cypher site and copying it in every time.

The stupidest thing about the plot of FF13-1 is that the bumbling heroes are doing exactly what the bad guys want them to do for the entire game and then a pretty literal Deus ex Machina with no prior indication happens in the final cutscene. That's undeniably a bad plot. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Mar 11, 2021 |

Falconier111 posted:Characters come back from shattering when the fight ends, so there’s a good chance that people revert from petrification eventually naturally. Speaking of which... It's technically a bit more complicated. All over the world, there are those pyreflies. These are basically pure magic of the land. Now these little buggers sort of read the emotions of people who recently died. And if they congregate, they produce monsters from bad ones. If the emotions are strong enough, those monsters appear human and mimic the thoughts of the living being. That sending ritual basically deletes those emotions before the pyreflies can use them to murder people. That being said, pyreflies have their upsides. They also produce aeons, all kinds of spheres and help holding your breath for a while. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Mar 23, 2021 |

Falconier111 posted:... I know that FFX uses nearly every boss to introduce some mechanic or gimmick, but even with some serious grinding I didn’t get Provoke until the next area. I had no idea that was even practical. I don't remember having it at that point either. But I sure enough remember one enemy which gets completely destroyed by it.

I never really understood that sequence. Sin was chilling on the bottom of a frozen lake, listening to the hymn. Then the party crashes in, soon afterwards the fayth stops hymning, so Sin grabs them and puts them into a random desert island on the other side of the continent? How long were they out, anyway? This jump already felt forced when I played the game 20 years ago.
