You shouldn't be able to make an MMO worse than FF11, but they nailed it. For the start of a new page, I'd like to state that FF13 is real real bad, and I don't know why I'm not using Roman numerals in this post. For some reason I use them interchangeably, like Megaman and Mega Man.

Dirge of Cerberus deserves representation more than FF2 so I am glad they have canonically made DoC the new FF2.

ApplesandOranges posted:If they make a WoFF 2, I really hope they polish the gameplay at least, like giving us a third stack, or little things like making it easier to level new Mirages.  It's pretty easy to level new Mirages - I think anyone with you gets the same amount of XP so just put them in your party (not even your stack) and they level up.

I think the game says that they get reduced EXP if not in a stack but they still get enough to get a good amount of levels from level 1 and become usable enough to actually be in a stack after that. Also there's a WoFF thread now and people are still talking about WoFF here. Organization has failed us.

The game says they get 8% which is 1/12 and you can have 12 on your team so I assumed it was distributed evenly. I could be wrong.

EXP is split between members of the active party still alive at the end of battle, but the remaining mirages in reserve get a flat 8% of the total EXP earned each.

In Training posted:It's a final fantasy skinned slot machine like all Japanese mobile games. Avoid Trust me when I say it's by far the least lovely of the slot machine games. The game is robust enough at this point that you can easily pay nothing and bsar the highest difficulty fights. It's very generous with its premium currency and stats and premium gear matter much less than building a good party. I basically pay like 2 bucks a week to support the game, but you really need to pay nothing. I've tried different F2P games on and off and only really FFRK I felt had a lot of love put into the game. They could've made it a lovely stat mashing game but a lot of the boss battles are inventiveand fun.

I just wanted to let the thread know I haven't regretted going straight into FF Tactics A2 and it's been a lot of fun and I just got to the other continent and I don't know what to do because there are so many goddamn quests holy crap. I've gotten a bit too strong for the main storyline so I need to start sending a B-Team on quests so I can not waste the EXP I get. It's a bit overwhelming, I don't think I'll be able to finish this within two weeks, but it's something to look forward to!

Tactics A2 is an incredibly charming game, and even excels in certain respects where the original FFT falls behind (like varied quest objectives and significantly more fleshed-out side quest design). Someday SE will announce a Final Fantasy Tactics 3 and we are gonna raise such a ruckus in our nursing homes, let me tell you. Edit: That said, if you're the kind of person who has to knock out every optional quest before progressing the main story, around the point where you are is really easy to get burned out, so never be afraid to push through a handful of story missions in a row just to move things along. a crisp refreshing Moxie fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Nov 5, 2016 |

Yeah, I get ya; I've been using story missions every so often when I can make sure the 80 AP I get aren't going to go to waste. That's pretty much been my strategy.

I was addicted to the auction house when I played to get all the best items. Also unlocking the second continent is the flag for getting Gria and Seeq available for recruiting so I spent a lot of time getting them too. I think I was always overlevelled in A2. The side stuff is too much fun, and the main story is less interesting then most of the sidequests plots.

a few questions. I'm playing VIII for the first time and really enjoying it. After I got Carbuncle I realized that there are some spots between it and Siren so I'm guessing I missed two of them. I'm obviously at disc two and I wanted to know if I can go out and find the other two that I missed? Also, I'm playing this on the Vita and I'll probably get IX next. I was wondering if the others on the vita are worth it or if there are any to avoid (I may be wrong but I swear I heard that you should avoid the Playstation version of IV but I could be wrong). The only ones that I played before this were the first one and the port of III for the DS.

SylvainMustach posted:a few questions. Many bosses have GFs you can draw off of them. In every boss fight you should be checking to do this. There are also several optional GFs such as diablo (use the lamp cid gave you) or brothers (complete the optional dungeon). Congratulations you started the series by playing the absolute worst one and an upgraded version of a very dated game so it's all uphill. The PlayStation version of ffiv is terrible as is the PlayStation version of chrono trigger due to multisecond delays between pressing a button and the menu popping up. Those old ones are all available on PC and cellphones now so that's probably the optimal route to go even if they're are quite a bit uglier than the original SNES versions.

I may have flooded the wrong area instead of dropping a bridge or something. My better half has played thru most of the PSX ones and that's what they said (they admitted that their memory wasn't so sharp on it so they could be wrong).

Fwiw I cant remember the first one that well. I remember playing it at a neighbors house over a week or two one summer growing up. I actually liked 3 quite a bit but I dont think I would've enjoyed it as much without the characters that they retroactively added.

VIII is a lot of things but it's far from the worst in the series. also there are no permanently missable GFs in the game in story boss battles and there's maybe one GF in the game you can only get once but it's the ultimate one and it's in an endgame side quest so you don't need to worry about missing any just by playing through the story

Tae posted:Try playing NES FF1 sometime If you can make it through the Ice Cave it's all easier from there. Sure you still have the godawful mechanics like your party not selecting a new target and potions not being worth the byte they're encoded on but it's not FF3DS which just hates your desire to have fun.
