So is it just my system or is the 13-2 PC port garbage? I was seeing a pretty solid 40-60 FPS on 13 and I'm lucky to see anything over 30 for 13-2. Admittedly my system is a couple years old but I didn't think it would be that much worse than the 13 port.

30fps is better than the console version ever gets. also assuming you're running it above 400p you're also at a higher resolution :)

they took an engine designed to display corridors and tried to make it handle towns and people. it doesn't work very well.

13-3 is open-world and on my 360 i'm lucky to get above 15fps

I'm not talking about Tactics. I'm talking about Tierkreis and whatever the PSP one was called.

After reading a LP of Tactics rather than trying to replay it, I have to say that Tactics might try to unfuck 4's story but it manages to add its own really dumb poo poo to it, complete with Goat-thing mommy and her immortal son(:wtc:) from the tree's dimension. But nothing tied to Suikoden 4 can ever not be stupid I guess.

That's true! But on the other hand, Tactics is pretty well paced for an srpg and mechanically it is interesting, neither of which can be said about Suikoden 4

S4 is my pick for worst jrpg. Nothing else comes close. Even Tierkreis had a loving world map.

Do they ever address in the supplementary materials if the fal'cie's plan to open Etro's gate would have worked

Why was Odin reincarnated as a chocobo if the cycle of reincarnation had stopped with etro's death

Was Snow still a Cactaur l'cie in lightning returns

Did Anima or Pulse brand the main cast

Where is Lindzei, Pulse seems to be in the same dimension as Benny until summoned at the end of LR

Why did the war of transgression even need to happen, wouldn't the lindzei fal'cie just let them destroy cocoon to open the gate


I hate these drat games' plot

The cast's brands have the Anima symbol so that's who branded them. But everything else, gently caress if I know.

E: just did the chocobo friends quest in lr. Adorable :3

Finally got to sink some time into Lightning Returns today, and man, this is actually A Good Game.

Yeah, it's really good. I actually beat the final boss just now, which was pretty drat hardcore. Even that part is well designed, though: you can't leave the final area, but it automatically gives you some decent garbs when you get there, and the monsters drop plenty of EP and gil (and some acceptable weapons too) so you can stock up on recovery items at the shop before you enter. Plus, you can start New Game + at the door before the final boss, if you want!

that ending, though, was loving hysterical. i don't even want to ruin it for you, it's much better when you don't know what is going to happen

e: something i didn't quite figure out until fairly late: stagger power is completely unrelated to damage, so it is useful to have one garb set up for speed and staggering (and defense, possibly) to the exclusion of all else, which you switch to when the others are used up.

For popular series reviewers tend to temper their scores based on general gamer sentiment, so public opinion on the series has to turn before they can give it poor reviews. The next game in the series then has points deducted for being associated to the previous game.

hence lightning returns's 66% metacritic

And Suikoden 5 not being able to save the series from Suikoden 4's FF13-grade awfulness even though it was probably the 2nd best game in the series, though it's long as gently caress. :negative:

plus it has the worst pacing ever. you spend like six hours on the loving tournament subplot that hardly even matters since it turns out to be rigged anyway

So how does it deal with the Vargas fight? Also I'm guessing if you run in to Vargas and don't have Sabin/Blitz or the ability to deal about 10k damage in 60 seconds you're just hosed?

he gets nerfed so you just have to spam attack with sabin and he goes down

I'm rolling with Locke, who is a weirdly colored Galuf who summons random Espers, Edgar (who looks like Sabin) who can dance and also make everyone invisible, Gogo (who is a berserker a la Umaro and regularly does 2k a hit) and Setzer, who looks like Umaro and has a weird skill called BLOWFIS, which does 1k for free (also he can dispel)

GalufLocke also has a morningstar that he beats the poo poo out of people with, he is basically my best character in every way.

It looks like a back to basics JRPG starring Yoshinori Kitase as Producer, Kazushige Nojima as Scenario Writer, Toshiyuki Itahana as Character Designer, and Hironobu Sakaguchi as 'Sir-Not-Working-On-The-Game-But-Still-Appearing-For-The-Photo-Shoot.'

Also I only ever played one of the PS2 era SaGa games and boy was it really bad. Did I just start on a bad one or is it just not for me.

Well, if it was the one where you move around a board game thing and use roulettes to pick attacks, then yes. You picked the bad one.

Unlike FF, no SaGa game is the "right SaGa game to play" because even the best ones are loving weird and hard to get into even for JRPG's. Fun as hell if you do, though.
