precision posted:i am setsuna actually owns pretty hard and is really good game to smoke weed and chill How much have you played? Because it feels like this when you start out but it gets worse and worse until the "luck check" bosses in the middle of the game whose strategies are literally "I hope you got the right drops to make the skill crystals, and that you have them equipped, and that you brought the right party member" (or "leveled all your crystals to +status inflict rate up and spam hagakure"). You might expect the game to get better from there, but from that point on it stays on Maximum poo poo Mode until the credits are finished playing.

precision posted:really? that sounds terrible. the game is so easy for so long i figured it would stay that way Yeah it's kind of a shame. It all starts when there's a boss who's so fast he gets 2-5 attacks every time you get one. But all of his skills are physical, so the guy who looks like Auron can just cast Counter once and sit on it--the status doesn't go away until you enter a new command, so you win by abusing its 100% evasion rate and the plinky ~30 damage counters it does until the boss dies. Everything else after that also has weird gimmicks, like the boss that casts regen and heals like 9999 every turn  The exception is that the Hagakure dual tech has a stun proc that works on every enemy in the game, but you have to have been building your skill crystals towards increasing your proc chance every single time the game gives you the option. If you were dumb like me, it'll do great damage and cost very little MP, but it's basically impossible to stun bosses without the increased proc rate because they have resistance. Of course, actually leveling your skill crystals is random on top of that, and can only happen when you're fighting monsters that are roughly equal to you in strength, so by nature of gaining levels, you slowly make it impossible to get the skill improvement chance.

You can't kill Ultimecia in one round, because her final form has like a ten-line monologue, that plays one line every time her turn comes around, and she can't die until she finishes talking even if her HP are reduced to 0

Solice Kirsk posted:I played through that whole game, beat it, and started playing through a second time and still don't know how the damned weapon system really works. I built one quarter of the perfect ultimate shield and I could talk your ear off about it but basically it's an extremely opaque system that's easy enough but not really accessible. Basically, every enemy has extremely tailored weaknesses and resistances. For example, golems have low damage resistance vs blunt weapons, dragons have low DR vs piercing, oozes have low DR vs edged, etc. these resistances go from 0-100 and are basically 1:1 damage reduction. On top of that, each enemy has individual resistances and weaknesses to elements, so a water elemental might be weak vs air. This is an actual weakness, and goes from -100 up to 100, and you should probably think of it as a 1:1 damage reduction OR vulnerability when taking damage from a given type. Even further, every enemy has a Monster Type. Dragons, Humans, Beasts, Undeads, Constructs, and I think Demons. Weapons have an individual affinity or enmity against each, for yet another ~1:1 bonus or penalty against enemies of their related type. This, too, ranges from -100 up to 100. Here's the easy(?) part. All weapon types are completely fixed. Swords do Edged damage (or Piercing for the Rapier). Spears do Piercing and sometimes Edged. Bows do Piercing and sometimes Blunt. Daggers do Piercing, and so on and so forth. Each individual blade part and grip (stock in the case of xbows) has a base value for how much affinity they have for a damage type, and it never, ever, ever changes. The only way to change them is to forge a higher-level weapon of that type, and to switch out the stock or grip. And here's the hard part! All elemental and racial affinities are constantly fluctuating. When you fight humans, every few hits will give you +1 affinity vs Humans, but -1 affinity vs one or two other monster types. When you fight undeads, every few hits gives you +1 vs Undeads, up to 100. Elemental affinity works the same way, but it's way harder to keep track of. Yes, you can grind on elementals, but if you're fighting any other enemy type in the entire game, elemental affinity--and, by extension, the direction in which your affinity shifts--is determined by the armor on the body part you're targeting. So some lizardmen have, like, shields that are weak vs Water, which will give you +1Water/-1Fire, but only when you target their Left Arm. Some humans have boots that are weak vs Air, so targeting their legs will give you +1Air/-1Earth. It's an absolute  mindfuck.There's a menu option to make it so you can see when your affinities shift by 1pt, but it's off by default  When you combine weapons or armors at the forge, they inherit all the highest affinity values. So if you have four blades that you grind up to have 100 in every affinity between them (4 is, iirc, the minimum), the resulting weapon after all the merges will have 100 in every affinity and, because nothing ever increases, will permanently do optimal damage to everything you attack. The intended way to play is, you have to know ahead of time--sometimes hours and hours ahead of time--what bosses and enemy types you'll encounter, and slowly, slooooowly grind your weapons up so they have the optimal affinities to do more than 1 damage to bosses. Cudgel for golems, oh but I hope you didn't accidentally align it to Darkness by fighting a bunch of evil monsters because like 99% of the constructs in the game resist Dark. Spear for dragons, and you better never hit anything that increases its Fire or Air affinity or you're in deep poo poo. Did you know Goblinoids are classified as Human-type? I hope you didn't bring a Beast weapon for the Ogre. Vagrant Story is, it's the epitome of...    precision posted:I thought I had Vanguard Bandits but I was thinking of Vandal Hearts, not to be confused with Vagrant Story (seriously, what was up with this trend) vanguard bandits was originally called epica stella, but zach meston of working designs thought it invoked a streetcar named desire a little too much, so they changed it to ~DETONATOR GAUNTLET~ but then acclaim was like "yo bitch you can't use gauntlet in your title" so they went with Vanguard Bandits

Solice Kirsk posted:They haven't made a good stand alone FF game in almost 17 years. And they only made 3 of them in that time frame. Anything they release is going to be worse than the PS1 era games when they peaked, especially if that game is a modern remake of a game from that era. imo FF15 is one of the best games I've ever played, but ymmv of course. fishing with the fam posted:I would replay 9 in a heartbeat if there was a way to completely remove the interminable combat loading screen. In the ports and remakes, there's no "true" loading, but it's still masked by lots of camera panning because that's hard-coded into the game. The PC remake, however, has a 4x speedup option that can be toggled at the click of a button, so you can just hit speedup whenever you get into a battle. Bonus: unlike emulators, it doesn't speed up the music, only the frameskip. Fur20 fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Mar 29, 2018 |

Solice Kirsk posted:I played maybe an hour or so of FF15 drunk at my friend's house. I couldn't find any enemies to fight, I couldn't drive on the wrong side of the road, and none of FF9's songs came up on the radio. I gave up and we just played the Bushido Blade 2 drinking game. 1) There aren't too many random encounters in FF15, like once in a while you'll get ambushed by something small, or spot a Cactuar, but usually it's just exploring. If you wanna fight poo poo you gotta go to the local restaurant and enlist in a monster hunt. 2) Your friend just wasn't using the offroad model, which disables auto-drive completely and you drive wherever gently caress you want. Right side of the road, wrong side of the road, off the road... you can go full GTA mode with enemies, too. I was kinda lukewarm on it at first, but then some magitek troopers dropped in front of my car and I was like "... I wonder  " and I gunned it, turned em into roadkill, and got full EXP credit3) The radio only plays albums you've bought. Every pitstop sells different CDs and paintjobs for your car, but music is like 100 gil for a selected tracks disc, of which there are two from FF9.

Bottom line, cut and dry bitchhhh I feel like I would like X-2 a lot more if there was more skill inheritance/crossover that didn't involve monopolizing your relic slot or switching dresspheres five times in one random encounter. Give me FF5 Freelancer power, like if I master the ultimate form I get passive Auto-Ribbon for every class or some insane reward like that.

precision posted:the story is Vaguean' Boring tho VS is Matsuno's character piece. It's not his strong suit, but I like these kinds of stories more than I like his ones about grandiose plots of things that happen everywhere the player isn't. It's my favorite work of his. I also like March of the Black Queen for the opposite reason: it's a huge, sweeping story of a revolution. But it dispenses with drama of the individual and focuses entirely on the overarching efforts of your army. You might get attached to certain regiments and leaders--my bro was all about how baller Lans and Warren are--but their stories are left to the imagination.
