Judging from the amount of damage it did to take down that Behemoth, it looks like they just made it flat-out impossible to beat unless you use the summon to instantly win? That's kinda lame.

ZenMasterBullshit posted:KH2 is literally the worst non-Card game combat wise. Like minus the timer thing 3D has really fun gameplay and you can zip around really fast and punch men really well. KH2 takes what 1 did and adds in two features that just make it easier without making anything more fun. Birth By Sleep is really boring gameplay wise, beating everything comes down to different kinds of spam Swarm of enemies? Spam your commands Giant boss? Spam Shotlocks and commands Small boss? Spam guard and counter Boss that attacks you a lot? Spam dodge rolls Like, at least in KH2FM fighting things requires something resembling reflexes. Time your dodge roll right. Quick run at the right time. Close in and begin a combo at the right time. Back off before the boss smacks you in the face. Take an opportunity to use the right kind of magic. And the basic combos in BBS were useless and most of the commands are obsolete by the end of the game once you've gotten thunder surge and mega flare

seiferguy posted:Well Tellah only having 90 MP was kind of a plot point because Meteo costs 99 MP and it he couldn't physically use it, and has to sacrifice his body to use it once. Well, that and from a gameplay perspective it keeps you on a very limited supply of -aga spell castings, forcing you to be careful with how you use his magic.

I was having a blast with Bravely Default but kinda stopped playing it because that's just what I tend to do in the middle of JRPGs. Last I remember the party met a pervy old man anime stereotype in a forest. I should pick that game back up againZaphod42 posted:Yeah, its like Pokemon dungeon design, which is not a particularly great thing. More like NES Final Fantasy dungeon design, where they''re basically just mazes with enemies. Unless later dungeons start throwing in annoying puzzles like in Pokemon that are just time sinks for spamming random encounters at you while you solve them Augus fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Mar 20, 2015 |

By the way, is it better in Bravely Default to focus on one class at a time with each character or to switch around at certain points?

The Yunalesca fight in particular really forces you to be careful and consider all of your options before doing anything. The challenging bosses in FFX are really fun to fight assuming you don't just power-level to a point where you can one-shot them. Too bad all of the hardest bosses have incredibly long cutscenes before them and the HD version didn't add in a goddamn "skip scene" button

Artix posted:So hey, quick FF13 question. I hope there's an actual explanation for this because otherwise I'm very confused. I've cleared Titan's Trials and I've cleared all 7 of the circle hunts and...well, nothing happened. I thought that was the trigger for making the stronger enemies appear on the Steppe? That should've done it. Note that the strong turtles look only a little different from the normal turtles

slev posted:8 year old me didn't understand that Cloud and Tifa hosed and everyone watched Can't wait for all the cool racey bits like this to be cut from this apparently 2000-hour remake. I still can't trust Square not to filter the story through the "bland and soulless and depressed" filter like they did with like every other FF7 thing since release. I'm like a lover scorned, SE is offering me flowers but I just can't bring myself to trust them again. I'm skeptical about video games is what I'm saying.

mycot posted:But PS4 let's you go all Bravely Default and turn off encounters/multiply XP etc. You can do that with Steam too, it just requires you to take a few minutes to download them separately. Madmarker posted:I mean, you are coming close to your last chance to REALLY relive what the game was like before Square ruins it with the remake. My concern is that Cloud, Sephiroth, etc. are all icons now, not characters. Square is gonna go through the old script and Cloud's thing is being cool and moody, so they'll say "Oh, we can't have Cloud wearing a dress, oh we can't have Cloud emoting, we need to cut that out because that isn't the Cloud that sells action figures, we can't have that." I just can't see Square leaving the story mostly untouched and not changing it for the worse.

Tae posted:They literally mentioned cloud cross dressing as still in, When was that mentioned? I didn't see it. quote:like you're hoping it fails at this point. No I'm not, I'm just really cautious about getting hyped for this game because SE has a mixed history to say the least. Of course I want the game to be good,it would be stupid not to want the game to be good. Good games make me happy and I like playing them and I like saying that they are good, and I would love to be able to say "I was worried they would gently caress it up but drat they actually pulled it off" You shouldn't be so eager to jump down someone's throat just because they are worried the game won't turn out right, it's a bad habit.

The thought of the game not running at a completely poo poo frame rate is pretty amazing. Maybe we'll get some cool not terrible texture packs too. More importantly though that means the LP thread for that will probably be happening in the future.

Yoko Taro directs the FF7 remake: Ending B has you go on another quest and revive Aerith but she comes back as a screaming Cronenberg abomination and you have to re-kill her also the rest of the cast dies horribly. You asked for this.

Zaphod42 posted:VIII isn't the worst game ever, the story starts off kinda interesting and the art is all better than FF7. But the story starts off confused and only gets worse and worse the further you go along. At first it feels like a mystery and you want to understand, but then you realize there's no understanding it and its just cryptic nonsense. FFX's story really isn't all that cryptic. Like at all. It follows a pretty clear progression with twists that are properly explained. It just also has some clumsy and dumb moments peppered throughout.

Love is pretty prominent in a lot of FF games actually. 7 had the whole Aerith and Tifa thing. 8, 9, and 10 had a romantic couple in the forefront. 6 had like a dozen different romantic themes going on at once and even went on a musical interlude to address the subject. The XIII saga had the whole Serah business as being a driving force and then added Caius and Yeul's tragic star-crossed tale to the mix. And now XV is about bromance and maybe also a female love interest?

FFVII is still a dark story but the moments of levity give the game emotional range, something that VII's extended universe sorely lacks. When everything is reduced to miserable, brooding people being miserable and brooding, all that dark poo poo loses it's edge, it becomes mundane and hard to care about. Not to mention the dialogue. Oh god the dialogue
