Schwartzcough posted:I imagine you're giving everyone White Magic secondary, and having your White Mage spam healing while the rest put up Shell, followed by Protect (probably ignoring the character with Condemned since they're a goner anyway)? But yeah, that fight's a bitch. No shocker, but good old Monk/Thief/Monk/Monk comes in at a sexy $4. I'm at the end of World 1 and I think it's time for a little absurd grinding whenever I get the motivation.

I played the game when it first came out and as a 7-8 year old in Michigan I enjoyed watching Cecil Fielder hit fuckin' dingers and be fat so I pronounced it like that and it is correct.

Lessail posted:Since I've been playing IX with no guide, does that involve those random encounters where the monster wants you to give it ore? I've run into three or four of them, but I have no clue what to do about saying hi to whatever monster they mention. They're just letting you know what the next friendly monster will be.

Cake Attack posted:Some of us played Baten Kaitos and learned what truly bad audio is. This is what made me immune to bad voice acting in a game. Everyone should inoculate themselves by playing the original Baten Kaitos (although the prequel or whatever did much better).

ImpAtom posted:Well, a Chrono Trigger 2 is not inherently a super-exciting thing. Chrono Trigger was the result of a literal dream team of developers working together. Chrono Cross is a pretty good example of why "more Chrono" isn't inherently a positive thing. Despite the mess of trying to incorporate some Chrono Trigger stuff into what could have been a completely unrelated game and been better off for it, Chrono Cross at least gave us some pretty cool art direction and the best non-Arcanum game soundtrack of all time.

ImpAtom posted:I said it before but the combat system is sounding more and more like Lightning Returns which really was not a bad combat system, although one which could have used a bit of polish. IF they're adjusting that then it could end up being something pretty enjoyable. This is pretty much where I'm at with the game as it is now. I hope they tweak the combat enough to make/keep it interesting and the premise seems different/weird enough that I can get some fun out of it. I'm looking forward to the game and bummed I have to delay my gratification.

Varance posted:FF4 could easily be summarized as "Life shits on Cecil, Cecil figures out a way to deal with it and moves on." Cecil is Miles O'Brien, but with a much more useful Keiko.

Onmi posted:At least the cast of FFXII actually achieved poo poo, either their own personal issues, or indeed actually making a difference in the world... and this is the game that's all ABOUT the guys that history never focuses on and follows because that's the theme of Ivalice games in general. Actually gonna bring up a different game series, you can indulge me for a moment since it happens all the time in this thread. You shouldn't care about anything other than the endgame, except the endgame is our inevitable death so don't care about that either. Play games, hit buttons.

The problem is that you people have more than a cursory awareness of Dragon Ball Z. Of course you aren't going to be able to enjoy things when you have that weighing on you.

Exactly. Something almost approaching depth of character for a JRPG party member. It's good stuff.

Varance posted:You missed the part where Bhunivelze stripped her of her emotions, making her twice the cold-hearted bitch. She literally doesn't have any emotions... which also allows her to gently caress over Bhunivelze without a second thought. Even better, she's replaced with an instant reaction to almost everything of "Jesus, I'm so over all of this stupid poo poo" which the VA really sells at times. I like the idea of these characters being aware of the absurdity of the dumbass worlds they're in and dealing with it by just rolling their eyes and hitting poo poo with swords.

ImpAtom posted:The way it basically works is this: This is legitimately the best explanation of FFXIII's universe's batshit plot that I've seen. I applaud your effort and empathize with that painful dull buzzing in your head that had to have been omnipresent when trying to sort out this nonsense

Fister Roboto posted:Make weapons with Triple AP, Triple Overdrive, and Overdrive->AP. Set everyone's overdrive mode to Ally. Make armor with Auto-Phoenix. Start a fight with Don Tonberry. Every time you attack him, he'll counter with Everyone's Grudge, which will do a ton of damage based on how many monsters that character has killed. That damage then gets turned into overdrive for the other two characters, then tripled, then converted to AP and tripled again. Keep doing this over and over until it's dead or you run out of Phoenix Downs and you'll rack up a ton of AP very quickly, even if you escape the battle. This but set the person who has killed the most enemies to Stoic (damaged received goes to Overdrive) and the other two to Comrade (Allies damage goes to Overdrive).

FFXV should have a DLC Kevin Hart Garmin/TomTom thing for every time you're in the car telling you where to turn. My friend's fiancee has one and goddamn is it worth the money. Having it appear in this game would help make it clear that they're just trying to make a fun game and it's not their fault if people invest too much of themselves in it.

Fister Roboto posted:The actual hot and cold part of it sucks, but getting ultimate or near-ultimate equipment right at the start of disc 3 owns bones and is well worth the effort. The actual hot and cold part was kind of fun, but not as fun as playing it via emulator and quickly getting awesome poo poo very very early on in the game thanks to always getting perfect runs with a lot of time left over.
