I would put LO well above 12 and 15 and probably on par with 13 if just because it has a combat system that owns and feels like a finished game. However LO is actually Shadow Hearts 4, not a Final Fantasy game. Bravely Default is Final Fantasy V The Series. The Last Story is Final Fantasy Around 9 But Less Nostalgic. Kingdom Hearts is Final Fantasy 8 On loving Acid.

jokes posted:The Blue Mage in FF6 is Strago because he learns how to use enemy abilities by seeing those abilities, abilities he then uses on-demand. This is the hallmark of blue magics. Relm is the beastmaster. She even gets !Control later on Umaro is incredibly bluntly the Berserker. Gau is just Gau. He's the best parts of Beastmaster, Blue Mage and Berserker rolled into an unstoppable ball of death.

Darkoni posted:I like how the Blue Mage questline in 14 starts with a sales pitch / live demonstration and the crowd going "what the gently caress you have to get hit by monsters? This is a scam I'm out of here. " It's extra funny because canonically the lovely Blue Mage grifter dude is actually so legitimately strong he takes on gods and steals their power. And then gets his rear end kicked by Gogo.

But Vincent also leaves and I'd think the 50-year-old lab experiment whose spent years in a coffin would have even less places to return to or people to see. Probably to either go brood or visit Lucretia.

Old-school world maps are not supposed to represent the entirety of the world but major locations. There are presumably a lot of small villages or towns which are entirely irrelevant so they don't show up, much like how they don't feel the need to animate every time Cloud goes to the toilet.

Not because it's too goofy or whatever, but because there's no chance there'll be a world map in the first place. No chance it gets cut. At bare minimum it's going to get the same "takes off, crashes" thing but the crash is used to justify moving to the next area.

roomtone posted:I dunno I still think the entire sequence of events from here on out will be so unrecognisable that none of these considerations will really matter. The familiar iconography will all reappear, sometimes in different forms. Can't really expect the precise logistics of the original to have any bearing on what they do after you fight fate in a proto-universe in the first one. They've got their alternate Zack-verse to handle, too. It's not gonna be remotely the same a - b - c journey. They already specifically went out of their way to say that they are still intending to hit most of the major events right after FF7R released. Especially considering they were clearly worried about backlash after the first one they'll probably skew pretty close for as long as possible. I really doubt we'll see any significant deviations until Aerith's death TBH.

Nihilarian posted:Am i the only one who's expecting ff7r-2 to completely diverge from ff7? I thought that was a big point of ff7r, they had to kill the elemental forces of "that's NOT canon" and now they're free to do other poo poo. We may see Rocket Town, Tiny Bronco and/or Palmer getting run over by a truck but it won't be in the same context as the original I feel like it's going to stick close because of marketing. They already had to come out and promise the story was still going to feature iconic moments. I feel like the death of the spirits of canon doesn't mean their adventure is going to be completely different until Aerith inevitably doesn't die because even freed of those constraints they're still going to make the same choices and go to the same places.

Professor Beetus posted:The big stinger at the end with Zack being alive does seem like a pretty huge thing though. Unless that's a fake out and it's like Zack: "well good on you little buddy, glad I got you back to Midgar safe. Oh wait is that Shinra's army right behind me? Oh no!" Honestly I suspect based off the history of JRPG remakes and FF7 EU and all that it's basically going to boil down to Zack is going to survive and Aerith is going to survive and they are going to get together and Cloud is going to get together with Tifa so all the romance subplots are neatly closed off and everyone lives happily ever after except Vincent. ' The EU stuff pushes Zack and Aerith hard and their Japanese voice actors are married so I fully expect the entire reason is so that they can have a happy ending instead of Crisis Core's tragedy ending

7R also makes it clear that the Sephiroth you fight isn't the 'real' Sephiroth. It intentionally goes to a parallel to the end of the FF7 except Sephiroth stops it and the whole thing is taking place in a weird meta landscape anyway.

Zedsdeadbaby posted:That's not AAA by any stretch of the imagination, I have been saying for years CDPR is just a typical eurojank studio that got lucky with witcher 3 There is literally no universe in which Cyberpunk 2027 wasn't a AAA title. It had a budget of over 300 million and they are not some small indie developer. Like when your 300 million dollar budget game is the centerpiece of multiple game shows, has insane amounts of hype, and has loving Keanu Reeves in it, you're not on the same level as Rando Eurojank which usually has a budget of $1.50 and some sausages.

Dandywalken posted:how important is blocking and dodge rolling? Im on normal, and dodge sometimes but seldom ever block. Cloud I just have in Operator then Punusher when target is stunned, that sound ok? Basically it helps to think of the game more as an RPG than an action game. Blocking is your primary way to lessen damage you take. It's not super relevant early but later on it will significantly reduced the amount of damage you take from a lot of attacks. Basically treat blocking as something you do when you're not attacking/moving. Dodge Rolling is very good for getting out of certain attacks but it doesn't have the bucket of I-Frames people tend to associate with dodge rolling so it isn't as reliable as a primary method of defense. Later things you get can change that up a bit but don't neglect blocking, it's a great way to avoid needing to waste time healing.

Procrastine posted:I didn't play X-2 but I thought it was strongly implied in X that the farplane isn't actually the afterlife, it's pyreflies taking the form of visitors' memories of their loved ones and people just choose to believe it's the afterlife because that's more comforting to them? No pyreflies can actually take the form of the dead. When you visit there the first time Seymours dad actually drags himself out of the afterlife

Dr Pepper posted:Rikku explains the Farplane like that but it isn't said to be the correct answer and I think X-2 confirms that being wrong. I think it's both. The Pyreflies reflect the thoughts of people who visit by summoning up an image of the shade but they are summoning up some version of the shade because living people aren't there. (Neither are unsent for presumably the same reason, their soul is still inhabiting their mortal body.) Like you can't go the Farplane and say hi to your dead brother and have him actually respond but the pyreflies are drawing on something that makes that person what they are (and like we see with Seymour's dad you can totally drag your rear end out if you're pissed off enough.) HD DAD posted:Lol @ Yuna being like “yeah that sounds awesome” when Shinra brings up burning souls for electricity. It's a bit more complex than that because Pyreflies aren't quite souls but more like a magical building matter everything is made out of. A lot of the technology/magitechnology they use is pyrefly based in some fashion so "what if we could harness this to make energy" makes sense if you assume you're just basically using natural resources that are everywhere and not literally people's souls. Still a terrible idea but easier to understand something people are okay with.

FF12 is an incredibly easy game but it has a lot of incredibly annoying little optimizations or hidden secrets that focusing on basically drains huge chunks of fun from the game. Just play it how you want and don't worry about grinding for superpowerfulomnigear you absolutely don't need.

Honestly I think most FF games have at least one epic moment and plenty of standouts. FF1: For me it would be the crossing of the bridge. Yeah it's early on but it cemented a sense of adventure that continued through the franchise from that point. FF2: Lol, I'm back and I'm the Emperor of Hell. FF3: Probably Aria's death? FF3 is one of the one with limited options. FF4: This is the first one that has epic buttloads but I'd have to say the "everyone comes to help fight the Giant of Babel" is pretty top notch. FF5: Gilgamesh showing up to help is pretty top notch. FF6: The opera FF7: Aerith's death is pretty high up there but the reveal of Cloud's true background is pretty insane. FF8: Again a whole ton, but the "floating in space together" scene is probably one of the most memorable love moments in a FF game. FF9: You Are Not Alone probably is the standout for me. FFX: Controversial but I thought the ending hit effectively hard. FFXII: This is actually a tough one since so many moments are more low-impact or subdued but Vayne making his big transformation feels at least pretty cool. FFXIII: Probably the raceway fight. XIII-2: Probably any of the time shenanigans. LR: Stabbing god in the face so hard it creates France. XIV: The end of MSQ Shadowbringers is an easy favorite here despite the game being filled with them. XV: Honestly I'd say "waking up to the world of Ruin" was a moment that blew my loving mind even if it turned out to be a wet fart And that is by no means an exhaustive list. FF is if nothing else good at making "oh gently caress" moments.
