The White Dragon posted:are you playing the gba remake or later? iirc loading a quicksave resets the encounter tracker, so you could take a few steps, quicksave, quickload, rinse and repeat. if it's the original, saving and loading should also reset the encounter rate. but it's gradual.

you're quicksaving and continuing from that, not loading your hard save, right? i could've sworn you're supposed to be able to do this kind of thing to buy broken endgame magic in the beginning of the game

I think quick saving in the GBA ports/remakes started with FF4, before then I think FF1/2 GBA just let you save anywhere. He might be thinking of the PS1 remakes which did let you quicksave I think since they kept the restrictive hard save system of the originals (Tent/Cottage or inns only I think)

Mustached Demon plays ff12 while baby naps: Finally crawled my way up the mega lighthouse dungeon and beat up the jerkbags who followed my group up. My totally not Rosa I swear combo of white mage/archer got a whole lot tougher with holy and white robe. Games nice enough to tell you that assaulting the last location is definitely the point of no return. So I've got a few things I wanna do first. Namely, seek revenge on the great crystal for laughing me out of part 2. Did manage to bag a staff at least. Probably figure out the Necrohol puzzle too. But first, I need levels. I saw the undead keep spawning endlessly in an area near Necrohol. That a good place or would checking out trial mode be more fun? Low 50s for everyone. Commentary on the game: kind of enjoy how some of the major dungeons open up more as you play. Oh and how the rebel airship was named Garland.

You'd maybe run into trouble at the higher floors in trial mode, my party was around level 60 (except Ashe who was mid 70s and Basch who was level 12) but I had also done all the hunts/grinded for the Tournesol and still had trouble with some of the later trials (especially the final one) but then there's a video I saw of someone doing every trial at level 1 so maybe I'm just bad

Help Im Alive posted:I'm a couple quests from Stormblood so here are the current Scions of the Seventh Dawn power rankings I'm very late on this (see Krile below) but I have just completed the last quest of Stormblood and these are the current Scions of the Seventh Dawn power rankings - it's difficult because some of my favourites didn't get much screentime but I didn't want to lower them. I was going to put Gosetsu in as an honorary scion but I had no idea where he would go I don't know how popular any of the characters actually are because it seems impossible to google this game without being spoiled on stuff and I don't want to look at the XIV thread for the same reason 1 - Y'shtola/Tataru/Me (-) - Tataru has become an extremely powerful scion/Y'shtola wasn't around much in Stormblood but she came back in the patch quests and was great in the Xaela tribe part - I like these sections where it gives you control of a scion. WoL is killing it as always 2 - Alisaie & Alphinaud (4) - They're both great I don't even remember why I disliked Alphinaud in ARR 3 - Krile (2) - Krile was barely around and completely killed my momentum because I tried to do Eureka and then stopped playing for four months!! She's still good though I don't really understand why Krile wasn't also targeted by the spooky voice that's been knocking out all the scions 4 - Lyse (6) - I thought Yda/Papalymo were kind of nothing characters so the Lyse stuff in Stormblood was nice 5 - Yugiri (7)/Urianger (3) - Urianger got so good in Heavensward then in Stormblood showed up I think once in Ala Mhigo to give me an item and then a second time near the end to immediately fall unconscious - please leave The Waking Sands more often friend 6 - Thancred (5) - he's good but the other scions are better - thancred has some work to do in shadowbringers 10 - the crew of nobodies (I respect Aenor and I guess the Arenvald guy they were trying to make into a thing for a while there was ok) Everyone says Shadowbringers is extremely good so I am excited (it took me 9 months and 500+ hours to get here)

I just got done with the first dungeon in Shadowbringers and it has already set a mood, pace, and stakes better then every previous MSQ. Even if it's cut from the same mold where the final quarter falls flat and is barely propped up by the patches (every indication is the opposite finally happens for once) it's on trajectory to be best.

Shadowbringers is IMO one of the best final fantasy games. It is unfortunately at the end of like 400 hours of not the best final fantasy games. Ff14 up to that point is good, but not shadowbringers. People forget this when they recommend the game

Heavensward is better than most of the other Final Fantasies too. And I'd say Stormblood is middle tier. Really only ARR hasn't aged well.

I know it's kinda silly but I really enjoy a well-done trophy list that gives you a little nod for doing challenging / unusual stuff. There are tons of times I've tried stuff out that I would have missed otherwise just because I saw a trophy related to it. Remasters seem to get lazy lists pretty often though - RE4 is the same way.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Or as I said in the Switch thread, it seems like Square looked at the Collection of Mana and saw that it sold beyond expectation and decided to triple down on what was the least valuable part of it. My concern is that this isn't going to sell particularly well and Square will use that to claim there isn't a market for retro re-releases. It's the 30 year anniversary of the SaGa series and as the mobile game's activity has shown, SaGa is still really drat popular (at least in Japan). Alec Eiffel posted:Remember that Square game "Bouncer" At least it was a short game. WoFF is bad and far, far longer. cock hero flux posted:a lot of people hate alphinaud in arr because he seems like a smug, arrogant git who is convinced that he's right about everything which is extra infuriating because the game makes him right about everything Alphinaud's gently caress-ups start in ARR and shows that the smug kid who thinks he's always right was getting played by people/potatoes smarter than him. Also that his sister's much smarter and cooler than he is.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:If you haven't done the Four Lords storyline (starts with An Auspicious Encounter in Ruby Sea) you should Oh my gosh, a talking turtle! I'm just finishing off Stormblood/Shadowbringers transition patches now. Personally my opinions on the FF14 stuff so far: ARR -- The story's okay, but definitely aged the worst. A lot of "hurry up already" even when not trying to push through to the better expansions. ARR transition patches -- "hurry up already" personified. Don't know how much the recent cleanup helped because I finished them about a week before that landed. Remove the busywork quests and I think the whole thing with the Crystal Braves through to the Heavensward intro is great though. Heavensward -- Wonderful. Different characters get their moments, your main ones get some growth, Estinien responding to every plan by sidling into the frame with "that would work but have you considered... killing dragons?" never gets old. My overall favorite so far. HW transition patches -- These were great. Wrap up the HW story and lead into Stormblood with solid momentum throughout. Some great moments. Stormblood -- I feel it suffers from the split story/attention between the two shores, but I'm not sure what I'd change. Definitely felt more invested in the Gyr Albana story, which I think is why I hate the split so much because it's the start and end of the story with Doma taking up all the middle. SB transition patches -- Here I think the split helped, because they put everything on one shore into the same patch. If they had you jumping between Doma and Ala Migho the whole time (4.4 has been doing this with "go talk to Lyse, now go see if Hien is okay with that") it would've been a headache. The end of both 4.1 and 4.3 were great. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Sep 1, 2020 |

For the proper effect imagine there's plenty of information but it's in a language you don't speak, online translation technology is sketchy, the official guides have bad typos and misinformation, the server is full of people on the other side of the language barrier who have monopolized all the economy and efficiency, and a lot of play is just cargo-culting the bits people can figure out and hoping that it works. Does the direction you're facing affect the odds of a successful craft? I still don't know; someone must've said that as a joke and it got picked up because translation lost the context, right?

Urianger is a thirsty, isolationist nerd who hasn’t ever touched a girl so if anything she’s loving with her friend she’s known for 20+ years. More likely they just used a stock animation, like how they did for 99.999% of cutscenes in the game.

Please don't use the phrase sexpest, meant to describe serial sexual harassers and molesters, when describing a playful smack on the rear from a woman to her friend, colleague and basically adopted brother for 20 years. Like seriously it's a word that has some serious connotations and you do no one any good using it to describe entirely mild human contact in a loving video game.
