A tank cannon seems like an incredibly bad weapon to use when you're trying to kidnap someone that's part of the enemy group.

Also Tidus is pretty good at Blitzball and Yevon has proven to be hypocrites flexible to rules when Blitzball is involved.

I think the events might have played out better if they'd played up Kinoc meeting Auron privately and saying he'd turn a blind eye this once 'for old time's sake,' letting them know about a waterway they can take to get out, and then leaving them to escape on their own. Of course he then gets shanked by Seymour who knew all along and then the boss fight plays out as normal.

To be fair so did Tidus, whenever he brought that up to someone who wasn't named Yuna or Auron everyone thought he was a crazy person/high on Sin toxins. At least he had enough sense to keep that on the down low until it was obvious there was no way he could have come from Spira.

Jecht strikes me as the kind of person who wouldn't really think that through. :v:

Tidus was really lucky in that he was found by a bunch of Blitzball players who really really needed more talent so they were willing to ignore his ramblings.

Everything about how they approached developing FFXIV 1.0 can be summed up in the fact that they didn't give you a way to search for an individual item at the bazaar. Have fun scrolling through menu after menu of random crap, kids!

I wish that summons (okay, fine, Aeons) didn't obsolete each other like that, but I'm struggling to come up with a better way.

You could just balance Aeons the same way you balance party members in FFX: Make 'em awesome at something that no one else can do.

... Except for Kimhari.

Isn't the intention usually [Go fight Final Boss at the end of the storyline with level appropriate party] -> [Oh look, postgame stuff, new shiny weapons and dungeons and minigames] -> [Bonus Boss(es) where everything should be maxed out]?

Up to this point they were doing really. really well on the 'Sin is an unstoppable unkillable abomination' front.

And then a bunch of schlubs flail around on its back for a few minutes with nothing happening.

Different superpower traits of villains have been mentioned, but to me, no one seems great enough.

I have missed some FFs, and forgotten some endings, but all these villains were beaten by player party, which is usually a small bunch of teenagers.

So, just like Sin here, no FF villain impresses me in terms of power.

In the interests of fairness, the FF9 party never actually beats Kuja. To the very end he is capable of one-shotting the party whenever he feels like it.

According to the director of FFXV in a press conference, FFXV needs to sell 10 million copies to succeed.

That's about The Witcher 3 and MGSV combined. :v:

Hi. Just popping back from the grim dark future of October 2016. Final Fantasy XV is the best Final Fantasy game yet. Final Fantasy XV is the worst Final Fantasy game yet. Also nerds are bitching about its framerate and lamenting the lack of a PC port yet, despite every single PC port by Square-Enix being kind of a shitshow.

To hell with all that - how's FFIX for PC?
