Sometimes you want nuance and complexity, and sometime you want a tree filled with so many evil souls that it starts cackling maniacally.

Are people not allowed to start Final Fantasy XIV accounts? I've been hearing it praised to high heavens lately, and I finally got my PC working again but I guess it's not happening.

Does Tidus, at any point, actually tell anyone his name? With the whole 'faking amnesia due to Sin's Toxin' thing, the others might assume he doesn't remember his name either.

I'm a lunatic who decided to grind out the Paladin shield when I was playing the GBA version. I recommend doing it on the Solitary Island because the monsters there have Elixers and Megaelixers as rare steals

From what I remember part of the original hubbub was because Tencent had just bought a 40% stake in Epic and there was this vague "the Chinese are going to ruin our video games" hysteria going on. Do people still get upset about Tencent?

I don't like everything Nomura gets up to but I can respect his general principal of "every time someone complained about belts and zippers, I'd add more belts and zippers". Also I still adore The World Ends With You and its one my favorite things he worked on.

This might have actually been the original final dungeon, Final Fantasy VI wasn't planned to have two halves, but it was actually progressing ahead of schedule when someone on the team went hey, what if they don’t beat Kefka in the nick of time, what if everything got super-hosed so they squeezed out enough time to rework the game from there.

I know you've largely been avoiding grinding/optional content but do you have Zona Seeker in your Esper collection? Its entire toolkit is helpful in this fight.

Even thought you can save Cid, the scenario on the island feels like it's designed around him dying.

Yeah, he does Literally Nothing for the rest of the game if he lives. Doesn't even leave the island.

I never played the PSX version, the load times were hideous and I think the translated ROM was available around then. I did, however, play the *poo poo* out of the GBA version.

What’s the best way to play 6 these days for the first time, including snes hacks?

Honestly I think it's a personal preference thing, but I'd recommend the GBA version with a hack that fixes the music and palette, some people prefer the SNES translation but I like the modern one. Or the Pixel Remaster with a font that doesn't suck. The SNES version is also fine? They all have minor advantages and disadvantages but I don't think any of the three major versions is deeply superior or inferior to the other. Don't play the PS1 version the load times are like trying to drown yourself.

I'm mostly thinking from the angle of "close to the original" if it's for a first time playthrough, I don't know much about content mods/hacks or anything like that. Some people got real weird about the original translation.

Rikku is 15 in FFX and I remember this because I was thirteen when the came game out, and I decided that this meant I had two more years and I would be cool enough to fight monsters.

Kingdom Hearts: W/A/V/E is about what happens to Sora's parents on Destiny Island while the games take place, while Kingdom Hearts {particle} is the city management game where you play as the King Mickey's predecessor.

I was young enough not to have solid memories of my first RPG, we owned a Nintendo with the first FF and DQ but I don't think either of them were played to completion. Watched my big sister beat Dragon Warrior IV though. Also my grandmother had a Super Nintendo and when we visited in the summer she's haul FFVI and Secret of Mana and Link to the Past and we'd play the poo poo out of them. So I consider FFVI my first Final Fantasy and I think it gave me unfair standards towards RPG party sizes for a while.

Replace the word "junction" with "equip" and that's, like, 60% of your problems solved right there. You can equip summons! They all have different abilities! Spells are consumable, and a GF will let you equip them to your stats. There.
