PringleCreamEgg posted:Chrono Cross is a game that is solidly fine, it has very high highs but it has some really bad aspects as well. Only a handful of playable characters get development, the element system makes swapping out characters a hassle so you’re discouraged from fully utilizing the large cast, and the difficulty is maybe too easy except for like two really difficult fights (Miguel and Dario). Mojoy not SSS tier, Bad opinion.

jokes posted:She is supposed to move on, giving her Tidus is a complete 180 on their development of the world of Spira You're not just helping the world move on is the thing. That's not what the message about X OR X-2 Was! It's about how the covering up the sins of the past and the constant sacrifice of life (Willing and not) has lead the world into a spiral of death and destruction that it cannot break free from. Moving on doesn't work to fix it. Nooj/Gippal/Ber's whole plan was to kill themselves to help the world move on and Yuna looks them dead in the idea and tells them that plan sucks. It's about actually fixing the mistakes of the past, it's why X-2's 100% has you going across spira, righting wrongs both recent and ancient, stopping the sacrifice and death and destruction that came with them. The ending is the world recognizing all this and in turn putting right the seemingly pointless sacrifice in Yuna's life. Tidus clearly knew what he did was selfish, he says so himself, he kept this all to himself because he knew they would hunt down another way to defeat Sin and he didn't think they had the time. Which is exactly what the Crimson squad's plan was to Beat the new rage ghost. You don't just seal away all those great evils and dark history, you go down there and loving deal with it and put everything right.

Elephant Ambush posted:So after hearing about 4JF for years I finally looked it up today and that sounds like it's only for hardcores who have beaten the game a zillion times. I can't imagine beating half the bosses without a ton of grinding for the best abilities and god help you if you get blue mage and have to spend tons of time trying to get all the best abilities. You grind a lot less because you just need less AP in general since you only have 4 jobs to worry about outside of getting like....multi Zerker which is a separate category you have to opt into. And Blue mage you only need like... a few abilities and most of them are incredibly easy to nab.

Twelve by Pies posted:After using Fran for a good while with crossbows I can safely say: crossbows loving suck. Their accuracy is abysmal, she misses like 70% of the goddamn time. Unfortunately since her other job is Foebreaker, if she equips an axe/hammer (or bomb) she just does poo poo damage and it's just as bad as missing! I think Fran's just gonna stay on the bench for the rest of this playthrough. Maybe I'm just lucky but I've got Fran with crossbows myself and she's more accurate than Basch with Axes and with the right bolts is just loving over enemies with status effects.

Elephant Ambush posted:What does Old do and is it useful on any enemies? Whenever enemies hit me with it it didn't matter and I ignored it and killed everything anyway. quote:When Old is used on a player character, all of that character's stats, except their level, will gradually decrease to 1. When used on an enemy, that enemy's level and speed are gradually decreased to 1, which in turn affects that enemy's Magic Attack multiplier. It's very good on things it can hit.

Vagrant story is the only ivalice game worth a drat and the only one with a narrative that doesn't poo poo its pants after the opening. It's a bad setting and I'm glad it withers into a mudhole. Sto making games in it, start the greater spira expanded universe. Give me a High Spira era game set before the war between Zanarkand and Bevelle.

ApplesandOranges posted:I feel like VIIR probably has one of the steeper learning curves in a FF game? Quite a few combat mechanics are easily missed even if they give you a tutorial, and even then it's a very involved game. It's an action game compared to an RPG. It's only really comparable to Lightning's Return in the franchise.

Tall Tale Teller posted:I know how to play the video game you pack of weiners. It's the opposite of slow though, is the thing. The constant swapping around characters and using abilities off c/d keeps you moving constantly and if you know what you're doing battles are over incredibly fast. Like on hard mode I was having issues keeping up with all 3 party members cooldowns while juggling attacks and spells and poo poo in some of the digital arena fights.

I finally tried it this time and welp Yuna is a monster lol. Physically, she does more damage than Tidus and all my aeons wipe the floor with everything. Later bosses only let you have a summon out for 1 turn. That's more than enough.

Mustang posted:The only thing I didn't like about the Yuffie DLC was all the stuff they brought in from Dirge of Cerberus at the very end. Aesthetically it just seems out of place with the rest of FF7, like they're from two very different games. I hope they leave that poo poo in the basement of Shinra and we don't have to see too much more of them in future remake games. Theres DoC poo poo in the base game. Deepground referenced and all. We're going to see more of them and it'll be good. We might even see a hosed up angeal series that zack missed as a miniboss.

zedprime posted:Any apparent ease of FF5 is an internet phenomena put together on the back of it being one of the most fun FFs to talk about after action. That describes the fiesta too. It's actually really hard. Putting together a strategy for some of the merged world and void bosses is a huge moment of gameplay synthesis compared to every other FF and is required from any party you happen to put together. That the internet has an index of how to beat every boss with every class has nothing to do with the fact that the end game of FF5 require you to engage with your jobs and/or abilities in an exact manner. You're along for the ride and need to engage in a deep manner to have a chance against NED. Uh huh uh huh, Yeah sure, sure. Totally. Totally true. Anyway I put !Summon on my whole party and pressed The Bahamut/Syldra/leviathan buttons over and over and get by

Mr. Locke posted:And most people don't kill NeoExDeath as a lv 1 Frog Chemist but that was marked as a point in V's favor. Besides, people are real bad at voicing straightforward poo poo- XV's combat is bad (on Noctis and to a lesser extent Igniz) because it's weightless, heavy on context commands, and flanks you with three borderline-useless fuckers outside of said context commands at any given time, not because there's a lack of mechanical substance or skill or player expression. That's all there, and it lets you do some amazing poo poo that just isn't fun or satisfying to pull off because of the flaws with the base. It's bad because of both actually. It's weightless boring and you spend the majority of your time doing a very very small number of things to interact with combat at all because it's also incredibly simple and empty and what choices are there are marginal improvements o er one another.

Chillgamesh posted:So wrt the FF7R Yuffie DLC ending, is there some context I'm missing from Crisis Core or something that has everyone saying the Zack scene is timeline bullshit? I don't see why he wouldn't just be in Midgar and going to see Aerith at some point before he died, especially because he still has the Buster Sword. I know the church is full of refugees but I don't really have any problem believing Shinra displaced a shitload of people more than once. Nope all the context is from the game you just played. The base games ending shows he's in an alt reality or something give that the shinra dog is a completely different breed and he survives the big fight with the shinra death squad. In the original story line he dies there and a half comatose cloud takes the buster sword. Him walking around at all after that shows it's timeline bullshit.

When she leaves she even talks about how she wishes she had met Cloud. TO get to know Him and not the persona he's clearly bolted on. She didn't know the guy and knew it. Of course 7R can go another way with this and has definitely set up a much more personable relationship between them but in the OG she was aware of how little she really understood him.
