I thought you had to throw an elixir at it since a lot of the conditions for imprisming are pretty specific. I'll check in with Serafie, too. Thanks for the tips.

The condition is just "restore a lot of HP at once." I admit all I did was drop it down to 1 HP then hit it with an Elixir, I don't know the specific amount necessary for it to trigger.

You actually don't have to hurt it at all, apparently, although I also did that and then used a Mega-Potion I'd gotten from somewhere, maybe The Coliseum.

I have both consoles but would rather play it on the go There's frame drops in Cornelia and some other towns, but the framerate in battle and cutscenes is absolutely fine and it looks pretty top-notch for a Vita game.

I'm playing both PS4 and Vita - PS4 when I'm at home and Vita on the train and the Vita version absolutely has a lower framerate everywhere, and there's a slight hang (half a second to a second) at the start of pretty much every battle before the character animations start. Overall it's not unplayable and if you're only playing Vita and not PS4 also, you probably wont be bothered by it but when you're swapping back and forth between them, it's absolutely noticable.

Someone save me from the final dungeon (I'm assuming) I'm in Exnine castle and I just beat up a cute lil Carbuncle and made some blocks appear.. I've now ran laps around this dungeon and I have no loving clue what to do as there isn't a map for the gravity gimmick. What am I overlooking?

Something that has really impressed me with WoFF is the graphics. Despite not being hyper-realistic, it's a gorgeous game. This is in part to having a very congruent design style, but also the fact that everything is just complete, for a lack of better words. All the parts of each character model are continuous so there's no seams to be noticed or clipping issues, and I know that's what to expect from any game in this age, but they just feel like they're higher quality than a lot of other games. Another thing is the textures in the game. Most of it isn't particularly noteworthy besides the fact that despite being pretty flat they still have slight variances. But the ones that really stand out are what you'll see on the mythril giant's spiked club, for instance. It really has the appearance of an iron ball down to the imperfections in the surface. WoFF does a lot of things very well and I'm enjoying it immensely. I'd love to see another Final Fantasy game have this sort of style to it (minus the chibi characters, of course) because it would harken back to the classic games without having the direct references. Just goes to show that you don't have to aim for super realistic graphics to still have a great looking game.

I agree with you. Everything looks detailed AF. I was kind of marveling at the coffee shop in the opening scenes - it looked like a place you could almost go to IRL.

BTW, WoFF puns also extend to the voice casting. Leviathan is voiced by Claudia Black, better known as Officer Aeryn Sun from Farscape. Leviathans, get it? Also, a majority of the VA cast that isn't Dissidia/Kingdom Hearts alumni is either known for Regular Show, Mass Effect, World of Warcraft, Persona or FF15. From Noctis to Archmage Khadgar, you'll recognize voices if you're into any of those franchises. Varance fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Oct 31, 2016 |

WoFF Plot talk for the end of chapter 21. Preeetty big spoilers I loving love how DARK that final boss and everything wound up being. Like jeez I was not expecting such a drastic tonal shift. Tama erasing herself is also pretty brutal and I'm kinda wondering what other games or series have that hook because it's a good one. I know of a certain anime that recently aired and another certain square game that has similar but now I'm curious

I figured "of course Wyn saved the parents and got away and now I gotta save Lann somehow." ...Then the credits started "Wait, is it seriously doing the fake credits thing too? Man they sure are going all out" and just slowly started thinking oh poo poo this is really happening how the hell do I get the good ending then? Then y'know.

Okay I got drunk last night and dropped the bux down on WoFF. Is it fairly easy to learn? All the talk in this thread makes all the systems and stuff seem fairly complex, but that's likely just because I haven't played it yet. Should I just jump in or are there any guides online to help me get started?

Just jump in. All the mechanics are well documented in game. There are a lot of mirages (monsters) to capture and deciding which ones to use can be a bit overwhelming, but generally it's pretty straightforward. If you're familiar with Final Fantasy then you'll be fine.

You're spot on, I'm just saying that the framerate blips in a turn-based game means very little and really it's extremely playable and a good-looking Vita game. Like I don't consider stuff like a half-second of jitters when the game isn't accepting your inputs anyway to be a thing worth worrying about, honestly. I guess I'd compare it to something like Trails of Cold Steel -- slightly more wonky than on the significantly more powerful home console, but really quite good considering the hardware we're talking about, and not at all wonky enough to actually make the game annoying to play. edit: I guess that's pretty much the same thing you were saying really

The world and dungeon design is very reminiscent of Xenogears, which makes sense given that it's the same devs. It's also why there are a bunch of Xenogears and Einhander reference in the game. Old school Square devs are in charge of Square these days, and it shows. Final Fantasy 14 is about to get a massive Tactics Ogre crossover in about 12 hours (levels 51-200 of Palace of the Dead, complete with music from TO).

Varance posted:To be fair, you can develop some killer stacks with a Moogle. In the below screenshot, Greg brings Protect/Shell/Haste and the Mightiest of Swords, Moogle brings Atk+ and Healing, combining the two will get you Aerora/Aeroga and all it takes is a Cura and Thundara mirajewel to unlock Curaga and Thundaga, respectively. Once you get a Holy mirajewel from a Memeoculos, pop that into the mix to unlock Flare. BAAAAARTZ

Here is a good way of figuring out if you would like WoFF. Do you like Final Fantasy? Do you like the party customization/monster catching of Pokemon? If yes to both then chances are high that you will like it.

The monster-taming in XIII-2 is really the only reason the entire game isn't just lovely Chrono Trigger. I didn't play any of the XIII games, but I watched Kung-Fu Jesus' LP of XIII-2, and basically the most fun part of it was when they got new good monsters to play with and name. The entire game went from a 6 to a 7 when they could name a giant robot death-machine Gank.

I mentioned this before, but you can change WoFF's default battle music in the options menu. You won't get some of the really good tracks until later, but that's about when the default themes get old. Even if you don't play, they're all solid remixes: FF5 Battle on the Big Bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aieuAMWlAJ8 FF6 The Decisive Battle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yBQCETmLKo FF6 Battle to the Death: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6KllMbcIQ8 FF7 Let the Battles Begin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1wQ7A-pFJg FF7 Those Who Fight Further: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzFrVyNdZfs FF7:Dirge A Girl Names Shelke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnLYqu4rT-A FF8 Don't be Afraid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwJeMuxQrbA FF10 Blitzball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-qq-MbXN_k FF10 Hymn of the Fayth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9E2cRn9lSA FF11 Awakening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5wSjIfWBWM FF13 Blinded by Light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh2wvo2qubc FF13 Snow's Theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVpErLXbK7k If you want something more retro: FF1 Battle Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TyKoI9UgbI FF3 Battle 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP_1FGmVFXI ... and you can't get your hands on this last one until you prove that you're a true rare Mirage Keeper: FF9 Hunter's Chance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6ufYLt5J5Q

My problem with WoFF is that why would I ever want to use Jiant stacks when the Liant forms are much cuter  Which is a shame because there are a lot of cool M size Mirages.
