Huh, I thought Cristina Vee only did music. Cool.

Na, she's got quite a few VA roles as well. Most recently she was in Conception II and Ys: Memories of Celceta.

Isn't that pretty much all the PSX FFs, though? I don't remember a whole bunch of straight-up reskins in any of them, though it has admittedly been a while.

I think you're right on this one. It's been a long time for 7 for me so I dunno about that one, but as far as 8 and 9 go they don't have a lot of enemy reskins. Which is nice because it's apparent in their respective card games.

^^^^ SE seems to just let other companies make the mobile games now. Mobage made Record Keeper and Alim is making a Brave Frontier not-a-clone-we-promise Final Fantasy game.


Please no. Give it to Atlus, Monolith Soft, or even Bandai-Namco; but for fucks sake do not let SE anywhere near Breath of Fire. The only company that'd gently caress it up harder would be Konami as we've seen with Suikoden's DS and PSP nightmares. The time of SE having a hand in good Breath of Fire games has passed.

To be fair Konami did kind of try. Kind of?

Tactics was enjoyable, but Tierkreis is just... :negative:

So what I'm getting at for FF15 is that it's going to be ultimate road trip. Right?

I'm only buying it if I get DLC car horns for my road trip.

Tabata already confirmed Stella won't be a player character, so I'm holding out for XV-2 in which she hitches rides with fantasy truckers. Or drives her own 18-wheeler.

Mini-games include delivering the cargo on time to pay the bills. You have your choice of one cab 'companion' in the form of a dog or cat (which you cannot customize, RIP)

it's amazing how, for people who like to smugly joke about how video game writing is bad, goons are absolutely loving terrible at understanding stories

This is why one of the nightmares that keeps me up at night is that Telltale makes a Something Awful 'interactive drama graphic adventure', sponsored by LowTax.

I'm going to defend FF9's writing here, I think people are really underselling it. The main plot isn't anything special, but I think the characters and the overarching themes of loneliness and finding your place in the world were done really well in a lot of characters and I have yet to see a JRPG do that as well.

Also Tales of the Abyss has good concepts and absolutely godawful execution, and it's also a hypocrite about its own messages (ex: Luke is shat on for something that's not really his fault while other characters get away with outright murder and betrayal).

I feel that FF9 tried to hamfist the finding your own place a little bit, but it turned out alright imo. I probably won't go as far as you though.

ToA is neither here not there but yea that plot is executed poorly. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT THAT YOU WERE CLONED! IF ONLY YOU DIDN'T EXIST! IF ONLY YOU DIDN'T TAKE HIS/MY PLACE!

Poor Luke.

Definitely Xenogears

Ok, no. I refuse to accept this opinion. Not in a universe where the ToS2 cast and someone like Edge Maverick exists.

Also c'mon guys you're being really hard on Edge! Didn't you see all the CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT he had after wiping out an entire human civilization and population from a planet in a parallel universe mirroring his own?

God just remembering SO4 makes me pretty upset.

So with I'm assuming it will be the same as the challenge that was in the Japanese version, The Ambition of Shinra and the Legend Reborn, in which case that's a lot of stages to clear.

The info I'm looking at from the Japanese version has it going up to floor 66-70 with about 3 stages per set of floors. There's a boss on floor 10 and floor 20, so I wonder if that continues to the top. That's a lot of bosses if so. Each set of 5 floors also has a first-time/mastery reward so the event is crazy worth it even without Sephiroth/Tifa being taken into consideration.

Looking forward to this, hopefully the difficulty spike won't be too severe since it's a challenge dungeon.
