Realtalk, XIV is amazing. Second half of heavensward is easily the best ff story I've played, followed closely by the first half of stormblood. Tragic and sympathetic villains are the best, it'll be hard to top the Shiva storyline

Rutibex posted:getting knights of the round took longer than just beating the final boss legitimately Beating the boss with Knights of the Round fuckin' took longer than the rest of the game. That's why I set up some sort of Demi machine-gun with a quad cast materia and mimic. Demi worked on it and did percentage damage, so even Demi 1 was 9999 for most of the fight, and didn't take a billion years.

I think I got about 10 hours into XV. I'm sure I'll pick it up again at some point, but I'm certainly not in any hurry to do so. This will be just like XII, which took me like 3 years to beat.

I haven’t played all of the FFs, but can anyone weigh in on which game had the most hard as poo poo optional hidden boss? I know there’s the Weapons in 7, Ozma in 9 (and ones I’m forgetting), but in 12, I feel like a bunch in 12 were complete assholes unless you knew beforehand exactly how to set up your gambits. Then again, I had a stupid habit of ‘derp derp, I’m exploring!’ Then whoops! I ran into Cuchulainn FML’ (Also just to either assuage my fear or out me as a dumbass, was there anything you could do against ‘enemy raised a paling’ that I forgot about?)

If you got the super robot summon you could totally one-shot the final boss like an rear end in a top hat. It was great. Also, good old JRPGs: FF IX Xenogears That one with Goku (the monkey king guy, not Goku) Lunar Lunar 2 Dragon Quest Every other one sucks poo poo.

A xenogears remake would be really cool too because there's lots of cool locations and stuff in that game but it's basically unplayable now because the graphics are so bad

The sheer amount of bizarre creature designs in FF7 are my favorite thing about it. Everyone working on the models and stuff for the game was learning the software as they went, and the budget and production time were both pretty limited. It feels like there was a lot of 'well I spent the last month working on these monstrosities when I had barely any idea what I was doing, but welp guess we have to use them' and that owns. Also anyone on the fence about XV just steer clear, there's almost nothing redeeming about it except that its pretty. The big extra boss of the game is basically just a big rock with an excessive amount of health that just kind of flails around once in awhile. Except there's a magic ring you can equip as a weapon that was patched well after launch to allow it to work on almost anything, the super-boss included. so you can literally just hold circle while chugging ethers at a safe distance until it vanishes into the void from your magic ring. A+ gameplay

Half the game is sprites and all the cutscenes are anime. And most of the models are robots and it's okay for them to have sharp angles. So I won't accept a Xenogears remake unless it's not just updated but also all that stuff on Disk 2 is actually finished and playable.

I forgot about that, there's a really jarring part of the game where significant events and other stuff are going down but it gets explained to you in still shots. Some of the stuff sounds like it could have been neat to see fleshed out instead of being someone talking to themselves while thinking about it.

Eh squall mostly gets over it towards the end FF8 had a busted as poo poo battle system and generally meandered around a lot but it had by far the best set pieces of all the ff games. Assassinating the sorceress, garden battle, jumping out into space, etc were all really rad. Also laguna shooting the movie.

Legend of Legaia was pretty cool. You had to punch random monsters to death to learn magic. But unless that magic healed you it was useless because just punching fuckers to death was most effective.

I still can't believe just how bad 13 was. The game looks like less fun than doing your taxes and the plot is so bad that it comes with a mandatory encyclopedia that you have to read. 13-2 was at least more fun to play since you could get overpowered monsters to kill everything for you so you could ignore the lovely battles. It also had some weird nu-metal theme for a fight with a giant tomato, which is funny to me. I have no idea what happens in 13-2 either. I don't think they were even trying to be coherent anymore.
