i unironically enjoy random encounters and turn-based combat :twisted:

Turn-based combat is good but do you really like to see 5000 Zubats in every cave?

Gonna choose that fire rabbit and name him Max.

Which part of the world is the new region supposed to be? Italy?

Britain, they even included the hill filth

I don't need a HUD, I just need a random twitch streamer to appear in the corner of my screen and overreact to everything I do

If you use repels what's even the point of random encounters?

Can anyone point me towards a tutorial/primer on how to play a FF game? Specifically FFIX? I bought it last week and I'm playing it and enjoying it but also don't know what the hell I'm doing. I basically avoided JRPGs like the plague throughout my childhood so there's no muscle memory there like there might be for some of you. Every video I looked up on YouTube is like a guide on how to collect all 150 whatchamcallits or something to that effect.

Perhaps you can explain what you're having trouble with? You can really just follow the story and not miss too much. Are you having trouble in combat? Spam the thing that does the most damage to the most things and heal sometimes.

Yup. It’s a shame. I love everything else I could see about the game though so far. I want to explore the Pokémon UK.

In Pokemon games I'm seeking out fights more often than avoiding them, and looking around for Pokemon is more fun than wobbling back and forth on a grass tile until a battle pops up.

I guess it's okay for them to take some creative license to vary the environment design but why not, y'know, pick a country that isn't known for being kinda uniform
