Dragon Quarter was ahead of its time. If they had just waited a couple years roguelike elements would have been a popular marketing buzzword instead of that thing everyone complains about.

FFTA is a great game and I actively enjoy the judge system and how laws disrupt gameplay and force creative thinking. Like by midgame, once you get anti laws and stuff, you can completely turn it to your advantage, even cheese entire boss fights.

How long have you played it so far, how much longer do you have do you estimate?

Also are there any kind of challenges or anything like that in how you go about the battles? How's the weapon customization if any

I'll put it in spoilers just in case. there isn't much to spoil

  • local store breaks street date almost always. i won't tell cause im not a snitch
  • I just got Luigi after the first miniboss, having Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Luigi
  • Probably like 2 hours, there are 4 worlds I think? I don't really have any kind of metric on how long is left but i imagine i'm almost nowhere since i just got the skill tree.
  • wrt challenges: you get a bonus for completing in a par amount of turns with no one dying
  • no weapon customization yet but it seems like i have a lot of base features to unlock

you can skip cutscenes (at least the second time through, i didn't try the first time around when i died to a boss), the game is pretty settings light

e: you can't skip cutscenes first time through, go get a beer

one minor but really loving annoying point, unless im missing something the game doesnt give you any good indication if you're in range of some traps or about to get flanked if you go to a certain position, which sucks after you do it and get owned

What can you check with the tacticam? I assume it's some useful stuff, but not as much as you would want.

If it's a big name game there's a strong chance it will be released somewhere within 3 hours of midnight depending on the timezone. If it's an indie game then I'd probably just bet on around 2pm.

I think there are a few procedural generated games on the Switch. Aside from GoNNER and Tumbleseed, there's also Slime-san and Has Been Heroes. I'm not sure but are either Mr. Shifty or Phantom Trigger proc gen?

Thanks guys, I ended up getting GoNNER but I'll probably get tumbleseed soon too.

Don't get it on iOS unless you plan on finishing it pretty soon, or aren't planning on updating to iOS 11. It won't work on iOS 11 since it's 32-bit, and Square is terrible about updates.

The best version of tactics is the PSP version with the anti-slowdown patch, either on an actual PSP or an emulator. The touch controls are much worse than the normal button controls.

They've already announced that an update is coming in September that will add 64 bit support.

Got some great news on that front: SE announced earlier this month they're releasing an update sometime in September that will change FFT to 64-bit.
