I hope FF7R doesn't evoke the same feelings I had playing the original, because I was in college and like, "fun combat but this story is incomprehensible and nowhere near as good as FF6" I want them to do something new with it! I've played the original, and found it to be meh. Bring on the batshit insanity! (also, FFXII's soundtrack is so good that I've played it in place of other games' music)

FFXV has your pals Noctis, Gladio, Ignis, Prompto, Aranea and Lunafreya fight evil, with the help of... Jared and Dave.

I know people like to make fun of this, but I think it was intentional to show a division between upper class people from royal society versus commoners. There's also always matters of different nationalities and such. In our boring real world lameness, I'm still in a working environment where a boring white guy named Chris is working with someone named Aristocratis Fotakis.

I mentioned this earlier but I truly think FFXV was probably saved from some awful poo poo where Noctis and Gladiolus were the names everyone called them all the time. Theyw ere treated 100% seriously. As it is, we have Noct and Noct Gar. I love that the bros call Gladiolus Gladio and his sister calls him Gladdy. It makes them and the story feel so much more organic and believable and makes them feel like real people. It wouldnt' be the same game at all if everyone actually called Him Noctis. They don't even call her Lunafreya much, just Luna. It's a small but essential piece for why FFXV works. In any event, I'm finally wrapping up the last few sidequests and things I care about before heading to Altissia. Level 56. I'm furious though because I had a shameful display against two Red Giants in this Castle dungeon that only opens at night. Dino led me there and it appears to be a Royal Tomb.But the key Cor gave me - the key he said would open all the tombs - doesn't let me in. And the game's helpful advice was "huh, a key must be needed." So I'll just look around the entire world for a key. I'm sure it'll turn up. I've been very happy with FFXV's quest design so far. Finding things is bullshit but in terms of leading you places to get stuff I haven't needed a guide really. But here? I have no idea. Am I supposed to just drive around and hope something happens? Similarly, Sania has vanished so I have no idea how to complete her questline. I did the Wyvern quest for her and now she's gone.

But the key needed for Costlemark Tower is postgame, and it's not the only place.

AngryRobotsInc posted:Not sure about the after Wyvern quest, you may not be able to go where she is yet. But the key needed for Costlemark Tower is postgame, and it's not the only place. Yeah I think I found another one way earlier but I figured it was a bug. It was in that place behind the waterfall the kid sent us to earlier and I already got a Royal Arm from. I went there for a Hunt and found myself back at the end of the dungeon and the door was locked now. I dunno, maybe that's unrelated. All I know is I have now fought so many Red Giants and done this cube puzzle so many times without actually getting anywhere that my brain is mush. Also in my last attempt the gane randomly teleported me out of the dungeon. I was fighting monsters in the block maze part and suddenly the screen goes white and I'm outside. At that point I just turned the game off. This is the worst dungeon in the whole game by a million miles. It's done a heavy blow to my enthusiasm for the game to the point I'm tempted to just continue with plot and skip over looking for more bro moments at the various resting areas. I've gotten two with Gladio (racing and Liege of the Lake) and two with Prompto (talk with him at the hotel and striking a pose at the beach) and only one with Ignis (helping cook at camp). I wanted to find more but after hours of this repetitive garbage, I dunno if I feel like it. I probably will feel like it once I actually finish this awful dungeon.

It's a comment Hironobu Sakaguchi made in response to a line somewhere in an interview that stated that for many players FF6 is their favorite game. I love it so much that I go out of my way to quote it, even though I lost the interview a while ago.

FF6 is the best in all categories of the pre-3D final fantasies (except for the combat system, FF5 has it beat but I think I'm biased because of Fiesta). Of the PS2 FFs, FFX is the best. I hated FF9 combat, FF8 is a beautiful mess, and FF7 is too much of a meme at this point for me. FF14 is the best FF of all the FFs, though. Hell, Shadowbringers alone is the best FF (and my personal favorite RPG ever). Nothing will beat Final Fantasy Tactics for me. But since it's not a part of the main series, it's just a beautiful one-shot for me.

So this is a bit random, inspired by listening to FFIX music in FFXV. They included Ipsen's Castle in the track selection and that has always been my favorite version of "A Place to Call Home" I was told many years ago these are "motifs" - songs that use the same basic melody or whatever the technical term is. There are, to my memory, six motifs: A Place to Call Home - Start up screen theme Oeilvert Chamber of a Thousand Faces - Theme for all the faces in Oeilvert telling us about Terra's history Ipsen's Castle The Four Mirrors - Plays when planning how to get to Terra Terra I might be missing one but not sure. Anyway, just curious which is everyone's favorite? I might have to change my vote to Terra. Always forget how absolutely perfect it is in its beauty and tragedy and mystery and everything for setting the tone.

I don't legit press the dude because for some reason he gets in a right strop, like I am questioning his fan status for not ever having the chance to play it? It is a legit black hole for some due to the console and time gap.

FF is easily one of my favourite series but I still haven't played 5 or 6 I think I was really hoping for remakes of both of them back when 3/4 DS came out (that was my first time playing IV and I loved it) but I guess they went the mobile port route instead

It works even better because, besides the title screen, they all play at places revolving around Terra, since Oeilvert and Ipsen's Castle were places at Terra that popped up after Gaia accidentally ate Terra due to the Terra people's incompetence. Thus they put Garland in charge and his solution was to make a bunch of Gokus until things worked out somehow. And I guess they did, so success!

Also it's official that if you haven't played FF6, you're not a true FF fan. Tell your friend that he can have his FF cred back if he can write 500 words on the key gameplay differences between Terra and Celes. Or 500 words on erotic Sabin/Cyan fanfiction, I'll accept either.

Help Im Alive posted:FF is easily one of my favourite series but I still haven't played 5 or 6 This summer play a fiesta for FFV. V without fiesta can either become pure decision paralysis or a cake walk. Too many jobs and the right combos break the game wide open. In my opinion, it's as breakable as VIII but just harder to figure out blind. Fiesta helps both issues by giving you only four jobs to use. Also it's fun.

It took me a long time to play FFVI and even longer to actually be bothered beating it. The hype put me off for a long time, much like the Nu Persona hype. And in all these cases, I was wrong to be so skeptical about the universal love and adoration these games receive. FFVI deserves all its praises. Of course it's so braindead easy i needed Brave New World to motivate me through it but ya know that's just my brainworms. Granted, I think everyone finds FFVI one of the most simplistic and easy games in the series. The "everyone can do everything" trend started here and it's a bad trend that does not stand the test of time. In FFXV news, just got to Chapter 12. They really need to drop this chapter scheme for FFXVI. It's FFXIII so let's have 13 chapters. It's FFXV so let's have 15 chapters. Sure Chapter 11 is thirty minutes long but ya know, we need fifteen chapters goddammit. I said it before but this game really deserves a sequel or at least a prequel. There's so much to do with this world and the game absolutely leaves you wanting more. I've head all the bad things about the Ardyn DLC and the books but why did they cancel the new DLC? FFXV is the second best selling FF ever not counting reeleases. It was obviously a huge commercial success. So why are they releasing mobile versions and Pocket Editions but no more story DLC? I can't believe it was to preserve the integrity of the plot. I mean, that is a nice thought, but I doubt it. No spoilers please as I know nothing of the Ardyn, Gladio or Ignis DLC. Those are areas in the story I'm completely in the dark about. I barely even remember anything after Altissia. NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Jan 19, 2020 |
