They kinda did, it was on the PSP and it was called Dissidia. Not quite the same thing but you get to play as Sephiroth which I think is why people played Ehrgeiz to begin with

Some news on Type-0 HD. It's being done by Hexadrive Studios who did Zone of the Enders collection HD, Okami HD, and helped with Zelda: Wind Waker HD. They also helped development in making Third Birthday, which used a lot of the same tools to make Type-0.

Type-0 will also launch with English and Japanese audio options. I don't know if they changed it last night, but FF13 will also have English/Japanese options for versions outside of Asia.

Curtain Call brought to light one more reason for m,e to really not like 12. You have a full orchestra no matter where you go. Stormy mountain top: Full orchestra booming away. a clam field: Full orchestra plays on. I really don't need music that is so full of energy all the drat time.

Curtain call made me realize I don't like FF XII's music.

FFXII made me realize that, dunno why you're so late to the party. For real though, 12's got one of the most boring soundtracks ever.;

FF8 is awesome and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Am I supposed to know who NORG is when he's introduced in the game? Until that point I had thought Cid was the garden master.

Nomura loves to ham it up, but personally, I hope that all his "burning anger" will seep into the story of KH3 and make it as dark as End of Evangelion.

I played it like a regular Final Fantasy game as well. I used GFs over and over and over again because in previous games summons were the strongest attacks you could do. This was The Wrong Way.

Good thing we're getting new Final Fantasies in 2015 to complain about!

No one cares about that stuff any more anyway, sorry.

I really don't understand why this forum has such a problem with FFVII's original translation. If it was half as incomprehensible as people say, I probably wouldn't have perfectly understood the plot and characters, but I kinda do. Cloud was a dork growing up who wanted to impress Tifa so he tried to become a super-badass but his mind wasn't up to the task so he got as a mook. Then he got expeimented on for five years, his brain got destroyed, and the magic alien cells in him glued the shattered fragments of his psyche together and made him think he was a badass.

And Sephiroth is the son of a couple crazy scientists who was exposed to magic alien cells while in the womb and later he lost his mind because he found out about some of this.

And Barret used to be a coal miner who put all his faith in Shinra only to have their stupid reactors destroy his town, drive his best friend insane, and then he swore revenge on them under the guise of protecting the Planet.

And I could go on.

These are all perfectly spelled out in the original translation.

So I have never paid a whole lot of attention to project leads, what else has Tabata done? Because it really doesn't matter how well a job he does, he'll be better than Nomura by default as long as the game actually comes out.

Varance posted:

They rebalanced Blitzball for the HD Remaster, so it's significantly harder than the original game in that you can't just put Wedge in goal and watch him catch everything. Also, they nerfed Wedge and buffed the other teams (specifically the Luca Goers) so that he has to be much higher level to be an effective steel wall over the goalposts/backfield.

That buff is also why the story match is a pain in the rear end now, if you don't spend the first half just passing the ball around to level up your team and stop the Goers from getting any levels.

Furthering my theory that people decide to hate or love a game usually based on one tiny element of it, and not the entire game as a whole. For example, I usually love games that give you non-lethal options.

Is that Mega64 himself in the flesh?

...did they lose a bet or something?

Attitude Indicator posted:

but seriously, it doesn't have as much customization as FFt but tactics are more important, having the highground, where to position your characters, which caracthere fights which enemy, different goals to winning a battle. it's good poo poo.

Evil Fluffy posted:

I thought Vandal Hearts had random battles, and that it was Vagrant Story that didn't?

Attitude Indicator posted:

no random battles in vandal hearts. there are like 6 extra battles or something, but they\re really hard to find without a guide.

Also does the game ever stop "travelling through space"? Or does it just loop indefinitely?

Facepalm Ranger posted:

Is it just me but does FFXV look just bland? None of it looks interesting in the sense of art direction. Possibly because it's very modern/contemporary and not fantastical enough.

NikkolasKing posted:

Funny you should mention Xenosaga, I think Episode II also had the audio compression thing going on for voice-acting and yet it was still on multiple disks.

ImpAtom posted:

The problem is largely that developers are so dead-set on making Serious Mature Games for Mature People that they end up making boring one-note overly-serious characters. This is also why 8 out of every 10 games now ends with your protagonist dying, usually in slow motion or some overly-symbolic way while sad music plays. Even the ones that don't end with you dying end with "but was it REALLY a victory?!" (often tied in with sequel baits.)

It's so rare to have an ending which is just "You won! Isn't it awesome? Check it out" short of something like Mario.

Is the Blitzball bug, where you can just hide behind your own goal post after scoring once still a thing in the FFX HD Remaster?

How Rude posted:

If it's anything like I imagine Kingdom Hearts this sounds like torture.

Making an incredibly difficult and hard to understand boss that can kill you very quickly is not fun after 5 minutes of un-skippable cutscenes.

On my first playthrough I beat her first time. All my subsequent playthroughs I died at least one though, despite being a better player.
