Jaggedstagger posted:How did the card game in IX work? Some bullshit about card sides representing strength values for either phys/magical attack or defense. The rare cards had high values and were good against everything. I only ever bothered with that poo poo for the tournament to beat bug king. I wanna see some grade A anime gore for when Jenova busts out and starts murdering everyone in the Shinra HQ. Probably won't get it, but it should be some The Thing level poo poo.

Blurry Gray Thing posted:I don't think it aged that bad. Half the game is sprites and all the cutscenes are anime. And most of the models are robots and it's okay for them to have sharp angles. I forgot about that, there's a really jarring part of the game where significant events and other stuff are going down but it gets explained to you in still shots. Some of the stuff sounds like it could have been neat to see fleshed out instead of being someone talking to themselves while thinking about it.

The counter intuitive leveling wasn't so bad for FF8 since the game gave you options to make it work and it's one of those games where bosses don't give you anything except maybe an item and skill points. Basically stay below level 20 until you get to disk 3 where you can customize your GF's to do stat bonuses if you gave a drat about that. Or spend hundreds of hours eating T-rexes.

PE2 was legit gameplay wise, and the golem dudes were neat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QptybD4UhJM I've always had a soft spot for resident evil like games where examining the world around you sometimes lets you see into the character's personality like PE2 does. 3 is trash, though.

Dumb Lowtax posted:Anybody remember Beyond the Beyond on psx? Now there's a game that could benefit from a remake. While it was a failure, it failed for obvious and fixable reasons. This was a game I had gotten during my first year with a PSX when it was still new, and it was always "that one RPG I could never finish." Replaying it with an emulator is nice since the stat gains you get per level are mostly random and you can savestate scum it to get the best stat boosts per level. I can't imagine having to reset your entire system for every level gained like some walkthroughs would suggest  I really enjoyed the art design for many of the monsters and characters during the battle sequences, that style is great. Cloud was always partial to the green materia. Wicker Man fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Apr 15, 2018 |

communism bitch posted:There's one town you go to first but I forget the name; just some little hamlet nearby. If you check it enough times Cloud gets frustrated, hits it, and the item falls on his head. The pacing and tone of the game slows down so much right as you leave Midgar. If it's not your first time it can be a little disengaging. Dumb Lowtax posted:Also to grind by fast forwarding through every hundreds of random encounters so you can just keep doing that later no matter how frequent or hard they get Yeah you'll still be drowning in random encounters but at least you have that team command that makes your guys hit with their hardest stuff every turn or just melee rush.

Tambaloneus posted:It's a pity it's going to be episodic, my greatest wish was that the two weapons that appear partway through spend the rest of the game stalking you and stomping your sorry arse into the dust every chance they get. Presumably they'll be locked into forced encounters now. Half the fun of underwater parts was not knowing where that underwater dragon was going to be and knowing if you so much as bumped it you would be chewed up and spat out as chum. It made it so much more satisfying to come back later fully leveled out and minmaxed to the gills and fight it. Ruby weapon beat me to death with my own limbs any time I tried so imagine it lurking underground everywhere you go it might haul itself out and get its smite on. Then if you're levelling up somewhere the ground starts shaking and BOOM it's in your face fuckers you going to run away now? About the Weapons, I never understood that story wise. They're like ancient monsters made by the world to defend it against threats exactly like Jenova and Sephiroth but they just gently caress around doing either nothing or attacking small innocent villages (except for that one that got headshotted at Junon and the one attacking Midgar). Motherfuckers, those millions of random monsters are born from Jenova, attack them instead. Or go to the North continent where there's stupidly large amounts of magic being used and Sephiroth is actively summoning a world-ending power. Not the people who have all quit their jobs and gone renegade to save the planet! Wicker Man fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Apr 17, 2018 |

bradzilla posted:If Sephiroth can block Holy, it's reasonable to assume he can use the Weapons That does make sense if he can do it with Jenova. Although it still brings up that point about how ridiculously strong Sephiroth's will is. He may be a supersoldier and all that, but ancient Cthonian beings and an alien invader being mind controlled by him still comes off as being a little much.

Kind of a bummer for all those people working on it only to have it all thrown out. Maybe it's for the best  Having only played up to X and X-2, are inns ever used much in the games after that? Inns used to be something of a hallmark staple in RPG's in that it's the place you retreat to for healing up and restoring your characters that isn't a character's home/hideout/base. In X and X-2, staying at an inn wasn't necessary as all you have to do is touch a save sphere (which are everywhere) to fully restore your guys. It's quick and convenient, but I dunno... It used to be that you would make that long hall back to the nearest town after getting tore up by random battles to get ready for the next dangerous place you have to explore, sometimes limping your way back to a safe place using the last of your healing items and powers to make it there. There's something about that that gives a bit more of a role play feel to an RPG. The save sphere healing system is super convenient and saves time, but I've always liked using inns. Of course there are a lot of games where inns cost something like 20 gold even at a point in the game when your characters are raking in hundreds of thousands of gold and can self heal and restore without ever having to use one. Shut up, I like using inns.

Technology is evil, but don't you loving dare touch my water-soccer. Spin the bloody baaaaalllll!!! I forgot how much, but one of the Ochu type guys gives a lot of those Return/teleport spheres that are amazing for leveling up if you use a high enough bribe with them. Once you've captured one and can fight them at the arena, you can stack those spheres if you've got money to spare. Wicker Man fucked around with this message at 15:52 on May 7, 2018 |
