Every game is the worst game in the series. But ESPECIALLY FFD.

There wasn't an entire internet full of plot walkthroughs to explain to any of us what in the goddamn hell was going on in the back half of that game.


Yeah it's worth remembering that the translation for the end of Act 3 and all of Act 4 is basically incomprehensible. There are parts where it is practically gibberish.

The important question is:

Will we have more opportunities to embarrass Alphinaud in dialogue options than ever before?

I fully expect him to loving die. Not because I hate him, I love this precious boi, but because I figure someone ain't making it out alive from this one and it might as well be the character with the most development.

So, Zeal literally being in FF14 now makes me think that the noise that drove the Amaurotine to extinction was, literally, actually, factually just Lavos, and either the next major patches after EW or the next expansion afterward will be us going full Chrono Trigger to beat it for good.

EDIT: But then again, Azys Lla was also Zeal, so who knows. I just want to Chrono Trigger in FF14

Why did they have 1000 Words in the middle of a field where lightning constantly struck? Or did it get magic fixed by then? What about the weather? Was it Sin's toxins?

I'm pretty sure at this point in the world's history the Rozarrian Empire has the Gran Grimoire, so they can just summon Marche and he can beat the problem.

Cloud of Darkness, at least in FF14, was probably us, so maybe they aren't entirely evil there, just corrupted.

EDIT: actually I don't know if we were broken up into each of the shards or just some of them, so who knows?

So the logins for FF14 are just hosed so far, but once you're in, you're in, the actual game itself is stable. Unfortunately, I will never ever sit in-game in an MMO ever again for reasons I refuse to elaborate on, so I did log out last night to go to bed. EW is just...MOTHERFUCKING PIPPIN MY DOOOOOOODS!!!!

So I got to a point in Endwalker where I physically got up from my chair, laid on my bed, and just stared at the ceiling for a while. This game is so drat good. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about the story not going anywhere anybody expected, but I think I'll worry about that when I actually finish the MSQ.

Because she's not the game's Cid, Cid is the game's Cid.

EDIT: You may as well complain why Krile isn't called Galufrile instead. Or why Sazh's kid isn't called Sazhson. Or why Cecil's kid isn't called Cecildore, or why Yang's daughter isn't called................I don't remember Yang's daughter's name. But anyway

Don't forget the Lufenians have a way to preserve and transfer memories through history and generations. It's the only reason, in setting, why we know Cid, the Warrior of Light, and Chaos' origins. Also Cosmos' origin too.

I've never played a classic FF game but I've played enough FFXIV over the past few years that I've decided to give it a plunge. two questions for the thread:

what order should i play the games in, ideally starting with a really good one and then going in order of the other games as they get progressively better.

what's the best way to play ff games. there's these 'pixel remaster' things on steam and they look fine but people complain about them being easy mode versions for scrubs? I don't know if that means anything.

Remember the Omega raid series? Play the games in the order those bosses appear in, excepting Omega itself obviously. And only play the games those bosses appear in, skip the rest. So FF5 first, then 6, then 1. You already have a better version of the other games through the MSQ.

A lot of people die for you in FF14, but because you are the strongest creature in existence you can't die for anyone else. The only thing that can kill you is biowarfare.

It's great because the TEllah and Galuf scenes are technically and on paper the same scene but are tonally incredibly different and only one actually manages to generate emotions and it's not the one from the melodrama about Kingdoms at war and the sins conflict generates.

They are adding trusts up until I believe Stormblood? to the MSQ and changing all (90%?) 8 man trials in ARR to 4 man, so now you truly can play Final Fantasy XIV: The Game: The Movie: The Visual Novel instead of Final Fantasy XIV Online: The Award Winning Massive Multiplayer Online Game That Comes With an Expanded Free Trial (In A Few Days) That You Can Play Through Heavensward up to Level 60 for Free with no Playtime Restrictions (In a Few Days).

They literally said that the graphics will never match the quality of other main line titles. They also said that because the improvements will happen in stages that some NPCs will improve before others and that if the two NPCs are in the same cutscene please don't make fun of the lesser quality one. I'm personally hoping for a "Squall the most handsome guy here" moment.
