Bongo Bill posted:It's new to everybody who didn't have one of the few Japanese feature phones on which the game was originally released. Well... yeah but by that logic the iOS FF: Tactics was new to everybody who didn't have a PSP and that wasn't $30. They're porting over existing games and asking $30 for it, which really shouldn't fly on iOS. Skeezy posted:http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/26/the-world-ends-with-you-solo-remix-on-iphone-and-ipad-tomorrow/ Even this is $20 and I bet it'll be a much better game than FF: Dimensions (how the hell are they gonna make the two character controls work like this)

If you watch the trailer your partner's on the bottom screen and all the two character control stuff (Shiki's ESP cards, etc.) are gone. Personally, I'm betting your partner is an AI fighter now.

The best you could do was mash the d-pad and hope for the best.

Rurik posted:After reading 14 pages of Leovinus' FF8 LP, I'm interested in playing the game again with the intention of breaking it. I'll use cards and junctions and hopefully can keep Enc-None on all the time, cause gently caress random battles. Are cards enough to have enough spells for junctions? Also, can I figure everything out for myself or do I need a guide? And is there some point in the story I shouldn't progress beyond too early if I want to max or almost max my characters? if you want to actually break the game, you're better off reading my LP in the archives which details basically every mechanic, obvious and hidden, in the game. Re: FFIX load times; if you're comparing it to a PS2 game I think you can see the problem with your argument. Azure_Horizon fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Aug 26, 2012 |

The White Dragon posted:Well there you go, Ice Cavern actually has forced fixed encounters if you walk into the mist streams as they're blowing across the walkways. It makes a lot of folks think that the encounter rate is high and biases their view for the rest of the game, but it really is most of the time just folks not realizing that they're bumping into environmental hazards (the game does tell you that you're doing this, albeit in a kind of cryptic way). Ah, I saw that message and assumed that it was telling me to follow the mist to get to the exit. Naturally, I went the opposite direction as often as I could in order to make sure I didn't miss any secrets.

Azure_Horizon posted:The encounter rate in IX is almost exactly the same as VII or VIII, but I'll never understand why the (only 20 seconds) loading times for battles are enough to make the game not as lauded as the others, when it's pretty much better than all of them. Do you mean relative to VII and VIII, or relative to the entire series? Loadtimes are fuckin' annoying and add up over the course of a long game, and should absolutely be a factor in someone's evaluation.

That's Serah Farron, her sister, tyvm. >:/ The loadtimes in FFIX were not nearly as bad as people make them out to be, and I'm pretty sure VIII also had long load times as well. And I don't think it's a big enough factor to detract from the game.

They probably also have way, way less intensive graphics than FFIX does in any given battle. And the loading times hardly added up to hours of gameplay. Not even close.

Your call. SNES has a more "Saturday morning cartoon" vibe in its script; 6A a little more sterile and pretentious in word choice. 6A fixes a number of player-exploitable bugs but, I dunno, you might be like me and like that kind of thing in your games. 6A also adds some dungeon that was cut from the SNES version due to space constraints, but it's really just kind of a grindy deal. Funnily enough, for all the bugs it fixes, 6A comes back with a different kind of bug: about a quarter of the way through the game, you get these special items you can equip to your characters that will permanently increase your stats on level up. In the SNES version, dying would keep your levels but restart you at your most recent save. In the GBA version, dying resets your levels but keeps the stat increases you got from leveling up with these items, so you can have ridiculous poo poo that wasn't possible in the SNES cart like totally maxed (and totally unnecessary) numerical stats

 Hey, look what I finally did  Chemist/Ranger/Summoner/Black Mage so uhm. Bartz and Faris !Mixed almost all of my items to make Lenna and Krile ridiculous, as the two of them spammed Carbuncle, Golem and Firaga on the entire party. I'm not entirely sure which order I killed Neo Exdeath's parts in, I just remember noticing at one point that the top and front parts were dead, and then a few Firagas later the very back part died and I won.

Does FFA6 break when your speed gets too high as well or was that fixed? I think it was something like 80 or 90+ speed could cause problems for the game.
