I got stuck in the ice area as a kid, because I didn't realize you could jump on something or move something, or whatever. I tried for like a month, and started over a few times but never got past that part. So I did the next logical thing - I wrote a letter to Squaresoft telling them I was stuck! I got a letter back a couple of weeks later from someone there, thanking me and telling me how to beat the part I was stuck at. Sure, probably just some intern, but I was young enough at the time to be loving stoked. I still actually have that letter in a drawer somewhere. The night I got that letter, I beat the ice boss and finally moved on. That was also the first time in my life I had a hoagie, so sub sandwiches and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are forever intertwined in my mind.

They added a monster collecting mini game to X-2? I really like X-2 and it has my favorite FF battle system but man they made some infuriating decisions with it.

If you feel bad about missing something as a kid that is obvious now, keep in mind that I'm the guy who had to write a letter as a child to Square because I got stuck in FF Mystic Quest.

For the IZJS is there a good primer on job combinations and so on? Since it's a Final Fantasy game I assume you can beat it as long as you're vaguely trying you can beat it, but I wouldn't mind knowing about some cool combos going in since if I understand correctly the job assignments are permanent.

Vote for me and I'll make dog endings in games mandatory. Cat endings will be optional but subsidized.

With how Mystic Quest is simple (but good) and the changes to make ff2/4 easier, did they have any solid reason to believe western gamers would find the games too hard or was it just some weird nonsense they decided on their own.

Yeah I learned about the 'missing' FF games and the perception that the west would find them too hard, and you best believe I made some mad posts about it on GameFAQs in my time. Fortunately of those only FFV is actually any good, and I've never actually played the SNES version of it.

Unless you're very dedicated my advice would be to try ff2 and 3 and just move on whenever you start to get either bored or frustrated.

It's a weird bit of forums culture that using a couple dozen extra characters and clicking on spoiler blocks is seen as a big ask. I agree there should be a line (and honestly Games is much better about it than the TV forum) but I think that major plot points only 3 months after pc launch for such a large game is well within it.

In spite of FFXVs many flaws, I am completely here for the modern rural road trip with final fantasy bullshit jammed into it aesthetic. Give me more gaudy diners with FF monsters 30 feet outside or weird mutant giraffes milling around on the side of the road under power lines.

I've tried a couple of times to get into WoFF and bounced off each time. I figured it would be for me, because I'm the exact right sucker for monster collecting and pandering FF nostalgia, but it didn't take. I'm having a hard time articulating why I didn't like it but I think it's basically that it's too slow in all regards. Everything about it just seemed to drag.

The ff7 remake, should it ever come out, might be cool but I have zero faith that an ff8 remake wouldn't try and shave off all the weird poo poo that makes it interesting.

I liked FFXV but I'll admit the Final Fantasy Americana aesthetic hits me just right so I'll overlook a number of problems for it.

I agree that the dissonance exists between modern and fantasy in XV but I think that's part if why it works for me, so I don't know that I'd change much. I probably have an essay about XV's world and my personal travel around the country in my brain somewhere but I haven't really put a ton of thought into it. I will say that being at a regular rear end gas station knowing over the hill behind it is some coeurls or whatever rules for some reason.

If you want to be more charitable I think you could say the two discussion issues are intertwined. Some people mash through a game with no strategy beyond use biggest attack and sometimes heal, but as mentions many jrpgs aren't very clear about how buffs/debuffs/status effects are helping you, if they even work. How many games have a pile of status effects that are basically only effective when used on the player? EDIT: also yeah the genre as a whole is very easy

Elvis_Maximus posted:It does, but don't worry: the back half of the game still barely makes sense After having not played it for many years, I just finished up a playthrough last night and I've gotten a lot of newfound appreciation for some of the stuff going on in that game. There's a lot of details I don't envy someone trying to capture in the remake if it actually comes out, which it won't.
