Oh god I remember that 12 Monk random battle on the hill. I had my C team out. Was a battle of attrition. Almost got them but they kept on reviving each other and got me in the end.

Chocobo one isn't as bad. But those red chocobos spamming meteor were right bastards.

Those battles were really rare though. Only ever ran into the monks once. I remember one random battle I had to rescue some random knight from a couple dragons. When the battle was over I got to recruit him too. That was pretty cool.

I watched for a few seconds but didn't want to spoil more. Looked really good though and I hope the game runs in an acceptable fashion.

I really want a Dragon Ball Z Final Fantrasy game now. It MUST, I MEAN IT MUST have time traveling, it has to have aliens, and it has to have at least one bad guy who turns good after his secret origins are revealed. Robots and magic is optional, but appreciated.

See this would work if Seifer was ever around for more than five minutes, but he wasn't, Squall never regards him positively, and the game never portrays them like this; just as "rear end in a top hat" and "player character." The interpersonal writing is so shoddy that the past tense scene doesn't make sense even in the context of Squall losing one of his best friends, because as far as the player has been informed by the game itself, Seifer is more of a bully than a rival or even a friend.

At the start of the fight with Galbadia Garden I told the students what to do with the hotdogs and then ended my speech.

Dragon Quest Heroes is also not on sale, SE just hates sales.

My favorite part of FF8 was killing Ultima Weapon in a single turn and then getting two game overs to the final boss because she blew away the magic I had junctioned to my HP and then did a full party attack that did more than my new max HP value.

Did you have Zell in your party? Because Zell causes that for never explained or noted reasons.

I actually really liked Chrono Cross but, at the same time, I don't think Chrono Trigger needed a sequel at all. And god drat is it beautiful for a PS1 game.

Perhaps my favorite part of Chrono Cross is how the world map makes absolutely no sense given what we see in Chrono Trigger and somehow Porre becomes a country with an army and everything and it's great. (Also I choose to assume that the ending of Chrono Cross undoes the killing-off of Crono, Marle, and Lucca because it's all fucky anyway. )

I figured it was more that ambient magic faded. People could still do it, but it became less and less prevalent. For example, the lack of airships and teleport crystals in FFT and the subtler, darker magic in Vagrant Story (with the Dark being the ultimate sealed-away power). If I'm not mistaken, there's also no reference to Mist in either Tactics or Vagrant Story. It faded, but never really completely went away.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Vagrant Story's Dark is related to the Espers/Lucavi. After all, the Rood Inverse/Blood-Sin appears when you summon an Esper in FFXII.

They should have just had one character for each element color. That gives you Serge, Kid, Leena, Glenn, Guile, and uhhhhhhhh Norris? Yellows are all forgettable garbage.

This is just a bit offtopic at this point but I find it fascinating how as a kid we had Captain Planet yelling at us to save the world and global warming was just something that everyone accepted as true and even our videogames had really heavy-handed plots about saving the planet, enough to justify you joining a terrorist organization

Like imagine in the FF7 reboot how they're gonna justify blowing up power plants and killing civilians to save the environment, in a world where Europe sees terrorist attacks pretty much monthly at this point.

My favorite part of the Final Fantasy series is when a Chocobo articulates in its own way that it loves its partner and owner.

Most turn-based super bosses on the level of Penance or the SMT series seem to boil down to using a punishingly specific strategy after an eon of grinding and it's like, snooooore

Though I remember back when I was in grade school and beat Culex in SMRPG, I felt like a tiny golden god.

optional endgame is never worth it in any final fantasy game (except ff xiv ofc)

You could probably waste an entire day asking questions about Marteria's design. Like, why is she wielding a staff when she has six swords on her back? Wouldn't using gears for heels be extremely dangerous? How the hell do the dress and crown stay up?

Still not as many "WTF" design choices as Luso though.

Breath of Fire 3 was one of the worst JRPG's I ever played and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Just an endless loving purgatory of busywork.

That boat alone was insanity.
