Two questions following that trailer;

1) Hows SOP on steam deck

2) I remember reading the dlc, i think, had some sort of stupid bullshit on it in terms of deaths locking content off or something like that, is that gone or, failing that, able to be mitigated?

On a more serious note, you can't go wrong with Beacause (sic), which cleans up the translation significantly.

I'm planting my flag in the idea that Aerith is going to survive the City of the Ancients, but the cost of her actually living this time is going to be so high you'll wish she hadn't.

This but I want (FF7)the whole "Arieth becoming a poor-me wief who has to die because raisins abloo abloo abloo" thing to be taken out back and shot. That her being alive is not some grand affront to causality like how the wraiths seem to paint it and its OK for her to be alive.

Cause, gently caress it. We gonna take this story off the rails? Lets get nuts and see where it goes.

No it's a couple of catholics trying to use catholic guilt to make an Omnicide god.

Also, it should be noted, them shirking the responsibility of the actual guilt they should be feeling for the war started by their side that has raged under a toxic combination of false pretences and an enemy who has all the time in the world to just sit and watch his opponents hate-gently caress themselves to entrallment under him, death and/or fighting him and his horde for time immamorial.

Mystic Quest is a game where you have two party members and loves making you fight three enemies at once that have paralysis or instant death attacks.

Other than that it's not very interesting in either gameplay or story imo but the music is nice I guess

It's very much a game where it's music and historic context vastly outweigh its gameplay.

Though if the XIV crew wanted to make a Raid Series based on it I wouldn't say no on the music side of things alone.

Lost Stranger is decisively OK, I'd nether run away or towards it, but a lot of it is 'clap at various FF References'.

It's Cid (who is a Mi'Qote like individual, a running gag involves our Kirito mistaking the various races for their XIV counterparts) for example uses a Magun from Unlimited.

The cannon WOL name is what I'm using for my proper account but I was halfway considering something like Trebdra Veertien for a prospective Meteor Survivor (Can only use classes used in the opening FMV) run.

It's something that needs work but I think something like Encounter-Based RPGs, EcRPGs? is about right.

Course its not a universal consideration but it feels like the main focus of the gameplay loop is the (battle) encounters.

One of the funniest parts of FF14 is that Estinien's downfall is not due to his obsession with revenge or his dragon racism, it's because of picking something up without thinking

Related, it seems that biggest L's the WOL / Scions takes is when they don't deal with hazardous materials. (2.5) Uldah's lovely plutocratic politicians, (3.5)The Eyes of Nidhogg, twice.

That does feel like the series sometimes;

Sometimes it's incredibly, if not overly, friendly and will trip over itself to have you enjoy it.
And others it's a rachet old bastard that will smack you upside the head if it sees so much as a twitch your line-straight face.

I'm more thinking of it from the perspective that Yuna is Important and everyone already knows because she's a summoner.

I was under the impression being a summoner / Funeral Priest (I forget if the two are one and the same in X's world) was just A Job and the only thing that made Yuna particularly special (minus the menagerie that was her party) was that she was the Daughter of the man who completed the pilgrimage before.

No less destiny than someone in a craft having a child with similar intrests.

The cartridges for the Gunbreaker class are called 'soils' in JP, like the bullets for the gun in Unlimited.

So much for my idea of a gun based class that used the soil bullets like MNK, DNC or NIN.

Being fair those people wanted, erroneously, for it to be FFV.

ConanThe3rd

Mystic Quest has the same problem Secret of Evermore has in that it was erroneously misattributed to the denial of a better work (FF V and Trails of Mana) where Square were pretty content to poo poo into their hands when it came to those two games on their own terms.

The main difference was Mystic Quest was unfairly made a Black-Sheep for the imagined crime of stopping FFV-as-FFIII whilst Secret of Evermore was undeservedly elevated to anything other than the complete mistake it was in regards to Trails.

Which is to say, give Mystic Quest a try and if you find a copy of Evermore in the wild, buy it and film its destruction as contribution to the Anti shaq-fu project.

Just know that you will be quickly progression blocked with SAM as its based in Stormblood and its region.

As far as I remember, you can do RDM up to lv60 (HW level cap) np as all the quests take place in Eorzea and Limsa in particular.
