Harrow posted:My real problem with Luna is that I thought Stella looked really cool in the Versus XIII stuff and I wish we'd gotten her. theres a lot of really cool stuff in the Versus XIII trailers that never came to fruition and it’s a shame. the combat system they were going for looked a lot more fun than what we actually got from XV, you can see a lot of traces of it in 7R’s combat.

I just got a promo email from Squeenix that specifically refers to it as "The standalone new episode featuring Yuffie"

Do we think that Wutai will somehow end up in R2 at this point? Yuffie definitely but the actual Wutai is a bit out of the way of the canon path

So the idea that she just drops in to Midgar isn't too crazy. But I'm also rationalizing because I realize they're just gonna poo poo all over the original plot regardless of whether it could theoretically be canon still.

So with the new OST out and it being 156 tracks with a lot of just samey variations I went click through really quick and got this list which is pretty close to the original first disk, hope it's helpful for anyone who wants to just listen to some particular songs. Edit: Obviously feel free to correct me, some of the stuff isn't 1:1 code:

Finally beat Final Fantasy IX. I can't imagine playing the game without Moguri Mod. The HD backgrounds, PSX font, and 100% steal make the game so much better. Though after I beat the final boss the game crashed after the second cutscene so I had to watch the end on Youtube. I really enjoyed it. My biggest issue with the game is that it can be a bit generic at times which makes me seldom want to play it for more than thirty minutes at a time. The game is also pretty grindy toward the end and the final boss is homage to Final Fantasy V's final boss which is definitely not a compliment. I still enjoyed the characters and world and the game is definitely a classic Final Fantasy. The story was engaging and memorable and there were a lot of great set pieces. I'm a bit split on the battle system though. On one hand I like the turnbased ATB system. But on the other there is a delay when the character attacks to the point where they can perform an action well after I select it so healing an ally well after they've already died is common. It's not like this can't happen in previous games but it's constant here. It's also dumb that tent's don't fully restore your HP and MP. I've come a long way since last year where the only two Final Fantasy's I've played were X and VII. If I had to rank the one's I've played it would be: XIV (Expansions) - 400+ hours and no regrets. Best Final Fantasy, Best MMO. I will say that while all single player Final Fantasy's are like watching movies, this game is like binging a "prestige TV" series. VII - Not much else needs to be said about this game. But one thing people often overlook is how replayable it is. Replaying this game is like rewatching one of your classic films. It's so well paced. X - The first game in the series I've played so I'm biased, but it's still very unique and memorable. V - The game's story, while entertaining, may not be the best, but the meat of the game is the wonderful battle and class system. Arguably still the best in the series. It also has that "old school Final Fantasy" charm. IX - As I said above, the game has a great world, characters, and an interesting story. But it just fails to make me want to play for long periods of time and the battle system can be a mess. Plus why learn abilities via gear? VI - Probably controversial but while the game was very good it's a farcry from "among the best ever". The battle system is a huge downgrade from it's predecessor and the world and characters like any cohesion. Kefka is great though. XIV (Vanilla) - I felt like separating this from the expansions because vanilla XIV just isn't that good. It certainly lays the foundation for things but storywise it's very whitebread. Real FFXIV doesn't start until Heavensward.

Speaking of the VII Remake, does anyone remember off the top of their head what chapter it is where Aerith is talking about how she almost prefers seeing the bottom of the plates to seeing the actual sky? Trying to remember the exact quote, and I think she says something similar in Crisis Core?

Other than at the very end of the game, post-final boss, it's when you're going across the rooftops after meeting her. Chapter 7, I think?

Finally finished IX at the weekend and i'm now on FFX. How well revered is the sphere grid? I keep on reading about how easy it is to complete but i swear that it just seems monotonous. Not only does your character have to be in battle but they need to actually attack an enemy to get any AP. Then you need to have the right sphere's to upgrade the stats and unlock abilities. Completing it will take hundreds of spheres for each character if you're looking to max stats and such. I've used the PC boosts to give me all items and such to see how quickly I could fill it in and it took a solid 10 minutes of just spamming the button on master spheres for one character. Is the point that you're only really supposed to specialise characters?

The Sphere Grid is a very beautiful visualized way of presenting a characters leveling path to you while pretending like you have real control over it. It is also insanely slow to use and best if you spread it over the length of the game as you are finding out first hand. If you're using cheats to jump off the intended path you are getting none of its value. I like it aesthetically and conceptually a lot but the execution leaves a lot to be desired even if the flip side version of it from XIII has the inverse problems.

The sphere grid is a 95% linear path until around the time you get the airship, at which point you can then specialize your characters and do all the celestial weapon hunts or just end the game right there at any point. The exception to this is Kimahri, who you can take down any other character's path early. Unless you just love the monster arena and want to play FFX for hundreds of hours it's very unlikely you'll complete even two of any characters' paths on any one member of your party.

Oh I missed that part why would you cheat yourself to max level and then complain that it took you 10 minutes to fill out the sphere grid lol.

Worth mentioning that filling out the entire sphere grid is something you can do if you get really into the postgame, but that's the postgame and you're not supposed to get anywhere close to that during the main story.

To seriously respond for a second: Yes, filling out the sphere grid takes ages if you do it all at once, and that's because you're not supposed to do that because it's supposed to happen little by little over the course of the game. By the end of the main story, unless you go way far out of your way to grind, each character will have finished out their portion of the sphere grid and maybe gotten part of the way into someone else's, and that's it. You can't even max out all your stats if you just activate every node on the grid--you need to use special spheres to add extra stat nodes and replace low-value ones with higher-value ones if you want to pull that off. And again, that's not something you should even be thinking about during the main story. It's really only for the postgame grind for doing the superbosses. I think Kin was the poster who had a weird experience with FF9 due to using cheats and turning off battles, so all I can really say is: yes, the cheats exist, but that's not how the games are meant to be played on a first playthrough and it turns out if you screw with all of a game's systems right off the bat with cheats, you're going to have a weird impression of those systems. Obviously you're allowed to do that, they're just single-player games you can engage with however you want to, but I'd strongly recommend just playing them normally for your first playthrough or you're going to continue having weird experiences with them.
