Yeah pretty much


now that you've busted up the game to all hell and back, why not train up a Calculator with Holy and give all of your team equipment that Absorbs that element

You know, as a victory lap

...must attack and fall upon them with a gallant bearing and a fearless heart, and, if possible, vanquish and destroy them, even though they have for armour the shells of a certain fish, that they say are harder than diamonds, and in place of swords wield trenchant blades of Damascus steel...

Remembering that part in Tactics Advance ending where some kid is struggling in Tactics and Mewt recommends getting some Ninjas.

Why did the Fayth dream up an abusive toxic household with Tidus and his mom and dad

Serious answer: they wanted Tidus to hate Jecht enough to want to kill him.

finishing up my ff13 run that i started a year ago, and ya know what, if they had made the weapon upgrades horizontal where you'd upgrade an aggregate gear level instead of each weapon individually it would made gear a lot more fun to play around with, where as it stands now I pick one weapon and carry it through the whole run

FF13 was a lot more fun when I cheated myself infinite gil and was able to upgrade my equipment at will.

Cheating in single player games owns and people should do it more to skip dumb bullshit imo.

I still remember getting so hyped reading those massive FF6 Game Genie FAQs with hundreds of codes all excited to see what weird poo poo I could do, like give Terra a random !Summon ability while General Leo chills with a barely-functional Kefka.

Absolutely. But I feel the opposite is also true where there is a certain satisfaction to be had operating within the parameters a game sets and succeeding. They tickle different parts of my brain.

Sometimes games have parts that are designed badly that inhibits playing around with all your tools tbh, like I’m too lazy to cheat but something like Sekiro with its tool upgrade costs is the kind of thing where hacking in infinite money just makes things more fun.

What is the best version of FFT for somebody who has never played it before and can read Japanese?

Probably just straight up the Japanese PSX version since every localization is missing some side story visual novel type things you unlock by doing the bar requests.

Mario is who Jecht is based on based on Cloud's experience fighting in the Smash Bros tournament. At least, I think Smash Bros is before Dissidia in the time line...

Mario has canonically defeated a giant godlike being empowered by the Four Crystals so this is in fact canon.
