I sometimes forget that the Four Job Fiesta isn't the default way V is played and wanted to congratulate him on a useful job...

EmmyOk posted:I really liked Bartz in Dissidia so I hope his game is good whenever I play it. I started it once for a few minutes and thought it was funny when he was asked to save the world and just said nah And that's not entirely true (4 is more popular in Japan for its traditional story, 6 did the wide-open endgame better with WoR and has a huge cast of characters versus just four morons) but the job system is  and the GBA translation makes the story funny/ridiculous without being too far over the top.(I think it's the second best overall, after XII, because just like everyone else in this thread I have a ridiculously idiosyncratic preference ordering)

What would an HD remaster of XIII add? What the game needs is a massive amount of editing to its plot and pacing in order to make some actual sense and have characters that aren't as punchable, and at that point it's not going to be FFXIII any more. The PC port is fine. It runs at 1080p60, its load times aren't atrocious. Those are the two main improvements you want when going from console to PC. Everything else is bells and whistles.

Blue is busted as hell in a fiesta run, since it's basically a whole class made out of dirty tricks in a game where almost every boss is vulnerable to a dirty trick, but I don't know if I would focus on abusing it in a first run. Definitely do pick a few interesting classes and don't try to level everything.

This was my only question, whether or not it ran at 60 fos. I will say, having the game on an ssd makes loads nice and quick, way better than on 360

Important undocumented ffv tricks: - Later unlocking jobs are sidegrades. White mage in particular is almost unrivaled (gently caress you, chemist) from the beginning of the game to the very end. - Equipped gear can sometimes be used from your inventory screen for an effect. Critically, snapping a rod from your inventory will cast an -aga level spell and can be done very early. - Many abilities transfer a jobs' stat strengths. For example, setting !Black grants a character the magic stat of a black mage, and setting Equip Harps grants the speed and magic stat of a bard. Giving a Ninja a good magic stat and throwing elemental scrolls is colossally stupid.

My FF5 advice is to go with what sounds cool and good to you. You can beat the game with four Berserkers (though I wouldn’t recommend it), use whatever the hell you want and ask the thread if you get stuck, there’s a few of us that have the knowledge to get you out of any jam you get into.

Remove the cutscene transition for the first paradigm shift in a battle Unfuck the weapon leveling system Remove the “if party leader dies you game over” feature Run at 4k Tweak phalanx enemy encounter Tweak tutorial text boxes/ add a combat tutorial a la FFXV Add an alternate crystarium.

If they could just update the PC version to not remove text from the game when it's at a resolution above 720p I'd be real happy. The fact that this was never patched is ridiculous.

Oh also thanks to everyone for the ZA Job advice cos the online stuff had made it sound like a way bigger deal to match characters to specific classes! I like that they enforce different license boards in XII generally because it was kind of lame if you wanted to do the late game FFX stuff every character was identical bar overdrives. It's more fun imo having dedicated classes that you alternate between in your party

One of the dumb things the X/X2 remaster didn't add was a skip cutscenes button. XII TZA had it though at least.

The X-2 part of the remaster has cutscene skip, but only because the original X-2 also had cutscene skip. Both the original and remaster of 12 also have cutscene skip. That makes it even dumber, really.

Bongo Bill posted:Always be getting blue magic. You can miss a Bard song in World I but you cannot be locked out of getting the song for playing all the pianos (because pianos are indestructible, because music is the most powerful force in the FFV universe). I think the best general advice for FFV is that, even in a FJF game and so especially playing it regularly, you always have a tool for the task at hand. You may feel compelled to do so, but you will never be in a situation where you need to sit and grind out job points. A lot of bosses are vulnerable to random status effects, even instant death, so try a lot of things out. Status effects in general are very strong, maybe stronger than in any other FF. Human type enemies, for example, of which there are a lot and some of them are very dangerous, are vulnerable to a lot of things, including things like Frog. And almost everything can be slowed. Except when you fight Exdeath at the top of his castle. Don't cast slow on Exdeath. Or be super awesome and cast reflect on him, then bounce a slow off of your party.

FFX is built on toothpicks and glue that localizing it means a single English line that's the wrong file size crashed the whole game.

Dross posted:Can you elaborate on this before I start this game? If you set the internal resolution past 1280x720 or something around that mark, and run in fullscreen all of the bestiary flavor text that gives you stats as well as hints will just show as completely blank. Most of it is just flavor text, and I don't think anything else in the game is affected. But it's still frustrating that a PC port put out by a large publisher like Square Enix has an obvious, glaring issue like this that was never adressed. It's possible that SE put out a patch to fix this, as I haven't played in like a year. But google searching seems to indicate nothing's been changed, and that the prior solution to this (using GeDoSaTo to run the game in borderless fullscreen) has been rendered useless due to updates for the GeDoSaTo program that came out after FFXIII.

Also if youre havin issues playing FFXIII on pc with a controller its because instead of using a standardized package they made their own and it doesnt work right with all sorts of devices and may require you to plug unplug or slam buttons in rapid sequence to get it to recognize you have a controller. They wisely used a standard setup for 13-2 and 13-3, but never back ported this. No having the bestiary info is lovely but manageable except if it affects the eidolon battles where not having that info would make them real fuckin rude to beat.

You can only get 100% if you more or less staple yourself to a player's guide, and then play through twice anyway because you inevitably missed a fifth of a percentage point back in Chapter 2. Your reward for this thankless nonsense challenge is basically a credits stinger. Let's be clear, I did all this 15 years ago. I love FFX2 to pieces. I absolutely do not think a sane human should 100% FFX2

Finally beat Yiazmat and Omega on the same night. Yiazmat caused a Game Over several times because I was unprepared for his Growing Threat bullshit (luckily managed to auto save just before) Had to restock on Phoenix Downs and use Reverse. Now I really feel like doing some gimmick run. Nothing too hard
