We should be able to use our own music. There is no reason games should prevent that.

Moguri made my game crash in the ending cut scene and I had to uninstall it to watch the ending but other than that it was just straight up an overwhelmingly superior way to play FF9

Did you try this at the time or was it an older version?

Still some rare crashes at the end. You can delete this file without consequence and it should work fine: \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\MoguriFiles\StreamingAssets\ma\mbg116.bytes

I don't know why there is a waiting period of any importance when you can fight Chaos right now.

Battle on the bridge!!

All that buildup and Gilgamesh punks out after taking one last hit. Then the final few seconds happen.

Even Chaos disapproves on that one.

I consider Earthbound being my number 3 favorite RPG, to be almost as good as Chrono Trigger, which is also just below Final Fantasy IX. It being the best Final Fantasy.

Yeah it's not impossible to read it and understand what it's trying to say, and honestly the laser doesn't even deal that much damage, like my first time playing I got hit by it and went "Oh, whoops, guess it was trying to say not to attack it, oh well." Maybe I'd feel different if I'd gotten a game over from it or something, though.

You instead get a nice chunk to your Limit and are now encouraged to make it counter again, since you now know that harder hits greatly increases the gauge. It is a learning experience designed like a troll move.

The real worst part of any FF Tactics game are the occasional mission where you have to protect an NPC, but they�re very committed to diving into the middle of a huge group of fast enemies.

Hit them with ailments to stop them.

Harrow posted:

I'm reminded of a recurring argument in the RPG thread about whether Disgaea is, if you just do the main story, "grindy." At least one poster insists that Disgaea is a very grindy game even if you just want to do the main story, pointing to how grindy the endgame is (by design, it's all about grinding to super big numbers), while other people who have actually played some Disgaea games point out that no, you can generally beat the main story without grinding. (This argument recurs because any time someone brings up grinding in Disgaea's endgame the argument starts again.)

It makes me think of how the descriptor "grindy" has started to be used for any game where sometimes fighting a couple extra battles can be helpful, or you could get a rare drop or some good skills by stopping to grind but you don't have to.

You will be doing lots of grinding in the Disgaea games if you are going in blind and don't know the mechanics. You can be capable of finishing everything in the main game by standing still for a dozen plus turns each map, being supported with buffbots, getting tossed at enemies to keep your attack multiplier up, and eventually overpower each of the bosses with 500%+ more damage output if your weak equipment doesn't get you killed from their special attacks. It sounds very boring to me to do that on each map due to weak gear. I might take it as a challenge to avoid repeating any map or doing IW runs. I would have no problem with that.

You don't need to grind up to get the absolute best equipment in DQ1 in every town, but you do have to level grind a bit, otherwise you're going to get exploded the first time you cross a bridge or something.

Or have a name with bad growth levels.

I bet things would've gone different in FF7 if Aeris had a gun.

Not like there are limits to the amount of weapons you can get unless it was 100. Grenades and other attack items are sold in stores. Shinra doesn't even care about the armed populace enough to do anything about it.

I replayed Chross recently and found the flow of combat to be annoying. You'd be building up your combos and right before the big attack the enemy would take its turn. Bad gameflow.

Spend minutes building up the element field and the boss uses a field effect counter to gently caress with you.

Heh. Terra is the Morpher. Gau may be a Monster or Beast Berserker.

I have played FFVII countless times and have only ever managed to get the reward above a Grenade. More often than not I just get the Grenade.

I don't know anybody who has actually perfected that dumb thing.

There is randomness involved since the ratings can go all over the place, but I mashed the button to tip my gun for that reward.

It was something like all the guys had this angry at everything look with their eyebrows and the girls didn't have the raised eyebrows. The mobile port that was godawful to look at, not the PR mobile version.
