Doing some thread catch-up.. If ya haven't figured this out yet, one thing causing me crashes on an AMD card was using both GeDoSaTo for shinies and Rivatuner to limit fps to 30. Leaving framerate alone and not running Rivatuner cleared things up. Setting the rendering res in GeDoSaTo too high caused some crashes too; I settled on 1400p. 'Course now I have crashes in 13-2 without running anything extra and light googling not mentioning anything helpful, booo.

How's the Android port of FF6? Worth it over doing the SNES version and being able to save anytime? I made it to the end a couple of times but for some reason never got around to actually beating the game. Sitting around the in-laws' is giving me the hankering and I might finish it this time if it's in my pocket. Anyone running into crashes in 13-2 on PC? No external tools running and I'm having to constantly make paranoia saves. Bumming me out cause on top of that, I'm THAT guy that just started it and is already having a harder time playing it cause I wish it was like 13 and would just shove me down a hallway with flashy graphics and set battles. Ugh, makes me realize I officially hit my "old gamer" stage of saying to myself I ain't got time for all that explorin' and sidequests!

Agreed posted:Yeah, I do wish these were better optimized. It's not just the occasional sub-30fps that bothers me, it's that I can look and see that it isn't using my processor's cores efficiently at all, and my GPU is still at like 640MHz or 800MHz (second or third lowest power state) and hanging out at like 38ºC. Seems like it's an engine-level optimization problem, since it would obviously run much better if it actually used ANY of your system's hardware efficiently. But it doesn't Yo, best I've found for 13 is to use GeDoSaTo to crank the internal res enough to stress the card enough to hang out between 30-60 so vsync keeps it at a consistent 30 (and look a whole lot better from downsampling). There really is no way to get a consistent 60fps; guy who makes that tool thinks there's some frame pacing in the game that causes it. If you're Nvidia, tools to cap the framerate should work; I'm AMD and got crashes when trying to framelimit. I got nada for 13-2. I get some crashes without GeDoSaTo so not even gonna try any external stuff. The 13 environments look amazing at high res!

Harrow posted:Yeah, I'm using the offense and time accessories because (at least early on) it's been really easy to get A+ on those like every time. And I grabbed Regroup ASAP on this group's recommendation and it is very cool and good. Yah you're doing awesome then on everything. The first AP for Choco rides and car rides are great to get ASAP, the rest of the exploration tree is pretty ignore-able though imo. Going to stress it again to kind of make a call of either doing sidequests or just focusing on the story and saving sidequests as post-game - there's not a "right" answer but levels matter a lot and sidequesting will quickly boost you past the curve and make the story quests really easy. Doing a few hunts is great to have spending cash, though. Patch is out on Steam to fix the post-summon framerate drop, woo.

Megaphone on Gladio and a choker on Noct pretty much negates the HP drain on royal arms, and Swords of the Wanderer is supposed to be a lot better than it's attack rating suggests.

Um, I have no idea what is going on or what I'm supposed to be doing. My cloud save loaded up at 9 hours or something in and I have nooo clue where I'm supposed to go or what my goal is. Help?

DrNutt posted:How tough are the weapons/how leveled should I be to take them on? Seems like something I should do after grinding out the final limits anyway. Swatting my brain cobwebs, what I remember from playing it like 40 years ago is Diamond isn't bad - tough but do-able or at least worth giving it a shot whenever and see how it goes, grind up the final limits and getting a black chocobo and all first since you're doing that anyway. Wanna say I remember KotR + whatever materia lets you double cast it + mimic on someone else for quad casting it being able to dunk on Diamond pretty hard, maybe with the cast-Phoenix-on-death setup for his big attack. Mighty Guard takes a lot of his damage out, too. (Fakeedit wait I think it's Emerald not Diamond weapon I mean.) Never did beat Ruby, no idea what's needed there besides the usual strat is to go in with only Cloud alive in the party.

Another hour or so wandering around in XIII-2 poking at different places, doing a couple sidequests, and after maybe having done some previous stuff in "wrong" order I hit the triggers to unlock Academia. Progress! Hopefully it picks up some for me cause I'm having a hard time not just bouncing back off this between not diggin the 2 main characters (boring girlfriend plus the guy from Kingdom Hearts's unknown brother), the 2 char+monster party system, the music, the walkspeed, framerate wonkiness, uhhh yeah. At least after setting up DSR the graphics don't look like upscaled 720p butt.

OK after getting back on track and in the groove of XIII-2 I'm digging it again, including the music now that some other tracks have been playing. Probably won't do much of any sidequest stuff but I'm happily cruisin' through the story. Now to hope I get some dings soon from adding 7, 8, and Lightning Returns to my cheapshark watch list for when I finish this one up.

AlphaKretin posted:XIII-2 has a mechanic called bleed where your maximum HP slowly decreases throughout a fight as you take damage, and the final boss deals a lot of bleed damage. You need to use Bleed Potions or - I think Elixirs? I forgot what else exactly - to raise that back up to the cap and be able to heal again. Thanks! Totes didn't see that was a thing. NikkolasKing posted:teh_Broseph, you made it from Sunleth to the end already? You must have done practically no sidequests, which is the majority of the game. Jeeeezz you're right on that one. Pounded through to the final boss, banged away at it for a while, eventually wiped to one of the bigass attacks. Gonna call it a night and give it another shot tomorrow. Yeah I skipped sidequests; the handful that popped up I tried out were crazy boring fetch quests. Just came off running around sidequesting for eons to pretty much 100% XV which I really dug, so leaning towards just wrapping up the story and callin' it good on this one.

Woo I actually completed another FF game, last boss down and 13-2 checked off the list! Using wound potions, better usage of COM/COM/RAV (cuz I didn't have any COM monsters) to tank the big shots and MED/MED/MED to quickly esuna the status effects got me through it. My DPS was bad so the whole regenerating side pieces part suucked, ended up taking half an hour for just the final fight with a 0 star rating but hey, victory! On to Lightning Returns.

XV ended up being one of my favorite FFs yo. I ran through the story on PS4 and sent it back to Gamefly when only like one DLC was out, and found it neat but clunky to get around with the crazy long load time. Scooped it on PC, watched Kingsglaive to have an idea of what was happening, and I guess the gorgeous graphics and much quicker load times to make travelling around no prob along with the usual FF thing of sometimes just has to be right time and place to play one made all the difference - ended up being the only one besides 7 that I nearly 100%-ed and had a great time doing it. The repeated complaints are there for sure, but the art, music, and core gameplay hooked me. For how jacked up a dev cycle it went through I'm pretty amazed at the package they put together, and that they're still working on it instead of stuff like Battlefront 2 that just gets dumped after a rough launch. *Disclaimer I like bad games e.g. the only FF games I've held interest in enough to beat are the Worst Ones: 7 (to near 100%), 10, 13-1, 13-2, and 15 Glad I punched through the end of 13-2 and went straight to 13-3, it's really cool. Feeling kind of poo poo at the combat system but I think I'm coming around, and I'm kind of digging how it's a weird step-child of different game types mashed together with a Final Fantasy sheen on top.

Barudak posted:“if youre only here for fighting and job systems, youre gonna have rad time” Groovy, sounds like 10-2 will at least be enough up my alley to try and run through the main quest. Guess I'll continue going through a handful of FFs I haven't played in reverse! 15-> 13.2 -> 13.3 -> 12 ->10.2. -> See if I have the motivation to on the 3rd or 4th try make it past the first disc of 8 -> Mayyybe play through 7 after not touching it since kid years. If I survive all that I should top it off with actually seeing the credits to 6 cuz I'm such a faker I never did in my handful of attempts, one that I think I even put down at the entrance of the final dungeon. Yo person who just beat 7, did I catch ya saying you played it before back in the day? How'd it hold up? End up beating Ruby or Emerald or getting those other trophies you were goin' after?

Someone said earlier that RAV/RAV/COM was the guaranteed slow way to kill stuff in 13 though the game makes it sound like that's the gud setup. So what is the gud setup for killing stuff quickly? I haven't played it for a while but in hour 43 once I got all the jobs I think my general plan was BUFF/DEBUFF/DEBUFF for a turn, RAV/RAV/COM to stagger, then COM/COM/RAV for damage.

Cool stuff to hear that I wish I knew playin the game. I can't remember if I heard about the free ATB on switching thing towards the end of XIII or if I didn't start doing it till like, halfway through XIII-2. Also definitely didn't figure the role boosts did much to stack until doing COM/COM/COM for big attacks real late in the game. They should've like, put a tutorial section in the game yo. I'm glad I spent a minute on youtube after dipping my feet into XIII-3 with the tips to set up outfits like the other games in the series of having one stacking HP and defense for COM, one for magic, one for physical attacks. If I didn't I def would've just done 3 hybrid-ey sets for a long time and I imagine not had it work out great.

FF goons I need more heelllppp pleeasee Last I asked, I was getting stuck on the 13-2 final boss cuz I didn't know about the pain mechanic. I was woefully underlevelled from doing almost no sidequesting the whole game, but trucked on through and beat it after a few tries. Now I'm at the final boss of 13-3, and after a couple of attempts only made it about 1/4 into his third phase and I guess there's a fourth?? I'm thrown off cause this time I did a boatload of sidequests and have felt pretty confident about my build and gear and stats and all. Not grind everything out get final endgame side stuff good, but plenty comfy. Buuutt then I get to the last area and severely struggled trying to fight an Arcangeli and just ran away, and at the last boss on the second try I couldn't burn down phase 1 without doom running out and popping a phoenix down. For how much sidequesting I did, compared to other FFs I thought I'd be able to dunk on stuff pretty handily, so one question is what's up with the curve that I'm not understanding - did I not do as much side stuff as I thought I did, or is my gear setup all jacked, or I'm just A Bad? And the less rhetorical/ponderous question, what do ya think I should do? I have a save with 6 days left and the 5 main quests done and a save at the end. Enough sidequest stuff is done to get 13 days but talking to Hope and all I didn't see anything about the extra day dungeon thing. Maybe I didn't SQ enough or maybe I'm dumb and didn't count right or see it or something. Below are some pics of the setup I had at the last boss. Sounds like I need sub in more Aurora to spam, and I never got poison to land so I can swap that out, and sounds like I should use Soldier of Peace instead of Velvet Bouncer. I didn't go through the trials to get the Ultima Weapon sort of cause how much trouble I had trying to fight one Arcangeli in a hallway I figured screw it the trials would probably be harder than the boss. I skipped the last 6 days I had left cause I was kind of ready to just cruise through to the end and cash out and call it done, was getting bored of running around and have XII showing up in the mail any day now. Do I go back and quest some more to see what I can get from the extra dungeon? Do I just run through the trials for the Ultima weapon? Should I just tweak the setup for more Aerora spam and Git Gudder at the fight? I'm bummed cause after burning through 13-2 and cranking through the end, I've really dug 13-3 and played it a lot more and was all psyched up to go slam dunk god but then he just booted me right outta his house.

So I ended up putzing around last night, almost youtubed the ending, closed it down. Skipped other garbage and just went back to my save at the end, ran through the trials and yeah they were laughably easy and short and the Ultima blade in this one is crazy  . With my damage like quintupled it made for an anticlimactic fight of deprotect -> poke with sword, block sometimes, and on the last phase spam overclock some then deprotect -> swordpoke a few more times. Ending was pretty groovy with DEFEATING GOD WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP and corn in the bible posted:everyone please thank Lightning for creating france 13-3 down, and hopefully 12 shows up tomorrow. If I keep this up I'll finally get around to beating 6!

Covok posted:I've been watching some retrospectives on Final Fantasy. It's made me feel a little nostalgic but I don't feel like playing the games again. I'm wondering if there are any good new games out in that style that would be worth checking out, other than Final Fantasy 15 which I've already played. I was playing FFXV, Zelda BOTW (Switch), and Horizon ZD (PS4) all kind of at the same time (which got weird for remembering buttons and what I could do where) and they were all good games that had a lot of similarities gameplay-wise, would recommend checking those out if ya haven't and can. More on the RPG/FF elements side going back to FFXIII 1-3 are cool - don't know how the 13 Steam port is, 13-2 port is janky but OK after some fiddling, and 13-3 was good out of the box for me.

I tried to take a glance at whether or not I should sell all my loot in XII ZA and holy poo poo it looks like there's some big complicated bizarre (hhaaaahh!) system. Um, is there a simple plan I can do for that for being middle ground just playing? I don't wanna totally screw myself out of gear, but I don't wanna sperg out on printed lists for minmaxing or anything at least until a second playthrough like next year or something. Can I just sell everything classified as loot willy nilly and buy stuff as it pops up in the bazaar, or is there a crafting system etc. that comes up to save for? I'm still real early, just did the thing to charge a sunstone, and have a few element-named stones that sound like keepers.
