WA4 had the best death ever. A vampire (who wasn't really a vampire he just got some residual power by being a hemophile and drinking his girlfriend's (who was a Crimson Noble/vampire) blood) die by having fighter planes thrown at him by Arnaud cowardly hitting a control panel while being a big wuss. I wish I could find the video because it's great.

Running on the map taking your HP away was the dumbest thing ever.

Edit: Also Megami Tensei is still around and doing wonderfully. Even if you don't like Persona, SMT4 was (probably but I'm AU/EU) great and Soul Hackers was a thing too.

The latter. I wouldn't play TAY if you're expecting a good story or anything. The combat is fine, but it's just kind of.. more FF4, yet dumber.

The Steam forums are saying that controllers work, but the analogue stick is basically mapped to the d-pad directions, which is kinda clunky.

So you're saying that much like everyone that plays it, Square washed their hands of FFVIII as soon as they were done.

Basically no Japanese developer outside of Falcom and maybe From know what source management or archiving are. For example, unless Devil Summoner 1 is totally remade, we'll never see it in English because the source code is just gone. The PSP port was a Saturn emulator of all things.

I used to think that FFVI got the shorter end of the stick with its localization

I admit, I'm curious as to why you thought that. Even when I was younger, renting FF7 as my first RPG and trying to play it without owning a memory card (:suicide:) the text didn't feel right to me. A couple years later when I played FF6, I didn't have anything remotely like that feeling.

Get Enemy Skills Materia, get some spells (Aqualung is a good one), basically wreck everything.

Trasson posted:

Best as in best or best as in easiest?

Put your people in Fury with Hypers, and spam Limit Breaks. You unlock X-2 Limits by using X-1, and unlock new X-2 Limits by having that character kill a bunch of guys. While the actual specifics may vary, you'll be hard pressed to find a character whose higher leveled limits don't own (Vincent and Cait Sith are the exceptions).

Alternatively, when you get Enemy Skill, just use that a bunch. You'll get a few good ones without even having to use an FAQ, and you get stuff that packs the punch of offensive magic without any of those annoying Strength and HP minuses.

Easiset, yeah. I kinda just want to blow through the gameplay bits. How does the "booster" thing work? Also how easy is it to get Enemy Skills?

Delsaber posted:

As long as the character holding the Enemy Skill materia can survive the attack, they can learn the skill. It's also worth noting that for defensive Enemy Skills like White Wind and Big Guard, you'll need to take control of enemies and cast those skills on your party yourself with a Manipulate materia. You might want to do this with offensive Enemy Skills as well just to eliminate the waiting and random factors.

Hmm, and the Enemy Skill Materia and Manipulate Materia themselves? How easy are those to come across? Sorry for the questions, it's been..quite a long time.

Enemy Skill is basically directly in your path, you can't miss it. It's in the tank at Hojo's lab. Cait Sith comes equipped with Manipulate.

Another great part of the same talk was when he was talking about planning for 2.1 and people on the dev team asked him if he could make, like, 40 new pieces of music for it. He didn't manage that much, alas, but at least he's going to be regularly coming out with brand new tracks for version updates, which is great.
