Yeah, I meant Necros are gonna be part of the meta "too" in terms of along with Enchanter, not that Warrior is the meta. Warrior is still gonna be a PITA to level, but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel unlike classic. Disciplines from the get-go changes the game a bit for...

I just hit 45 hours. On Chapter 13 (of 14 maybe? IDK) and very close to the end of Disc 1. All six overworld areas are between 30-50% completed, decided I'd do a full 100% run on the second time around at some later date. So I'd say 40 hours to beat the game is very doable if someone only plays...

Yeah, Warrior gets to actually be good right from the get-go here. Necros are gonna be part of the meta too.

@Rude You can stop marooning everybody, this game is much closer to the OG FF7 than Remake was. Almost no Whisper Crap in comparison, very little Seph except where he actually appeared, and for the most part it follows the story fairly closely. Should give it a whirl.

Been wondering why there are two Mohgs myself. From sometimes likes to repeat a big boss twice. Corrupted Monk, Guardian Ape, Isshin Ashina if you count him.

I do that because it's way less trouble than moving the pictures off the PS5 onto a USB drive and onto the computer. Just take a picture on phone, post picture from phone, since I usually post from phone during the day anyway. Alla that said, I just found out today that the Playstation app...

This is as far as I can get in the Ever Crisis phone game. Really wanted to check it out. Go past the title screen, start game, sits there loading indefinitely. On a modern top of the line Samsung with 5G. TF.

Video Game Donkey makes a great point about how FF7R-1 had SO MUCH GODDAMN SEPHIROTH. Also the guys pointing guns at Sephiroth and then standing around while he slowly killed one of them at a time... the fuck was that?

Took a look. The helm/cloak's aight, but I think the greaves pair a lot better with the Crimson Hood. All in all it's pretty nice, and good to have something hot in the game besides the Deathbed Dress.

Tormax and Teek, huh. The latter has to be the worst name since Mangler, but a Kunark start sounds great. Gonna be a hell of a static grind.

Never even heard of Bigelow. Well, besides BAM BAM BIGELOW

I think they jumped the gun a bit with having Weapons in this one. Especially the twin giant fish that aren't in the OG and aren't gem-themed and... what even are they Gongaga has great music but it was a chore to get around in, everything I needed to get to was on an elevated cliff. Is there a...

True, but I knew and raided with him for years and I'm fairly sure the guy in question wasn't using MQ. ISBoxer and macros sure. Just to reiterate though, he was playing six characters at once and playing them better than most people play one character at once. Even with ISBoxer, that's a feat...

Pretty sure if you went, your wife would definitely stab you.

This is very much what I wanted the first one to be more like. I feel like the only weak point of this game is the dungeons and how they go on and on and on. I'm actually dreading the Gi Cave and Mt Nibel at this point, and I imagine TOTA being a sprawling 6 hour dungeon like Shinra Tower in part 1.

Oh my GOOOOOOOD

I got Aerith for the date... but no gondola ride? Is there a second date later where that happens? I don't remember the OG well enough. We had most of the date, then the Dyne stuff happened.

Yep. Lotta people make the mistake that Jenova was an Ancient. Jenova is more like John Carpenter's The Thing.

125 now. The RTS-style boxing game that Tuco's into is still a ton of fun even if the raid scene is severely lacking.

Weird thing is how Cloud is suddenly such a great fighter right at the start of FF7. Barret and Co remark on how much more powerful he is than them, and let him do all the fighting. Considering he's actually just a Shinra security guard, how he got so powerful suddenly is mystifying. Unless...

That's why I'm getting my emulation on now, feels like a lot of these things are gonna be harder to get in the future if these companies are cracking down.

I went Golden Halberd for a while on the first playthrough but it didn't work super well for me cause of the speed. It works well for other people though. IIRC I really started progressing once I got a twin blade. The dual swords in the DLC look cool, assuming it's a new weapon and not just a...

So who is the Michael Jordan of EQ? Personally the best player I've ever played with is probably Spazu from OGC. Think he's on Mischief now. Another SK. That class really does have a high ceiling for being able to stand out if played well. When he was on top of his game, that guy could six-box...

Play on graphics mode instead of performance, the visuals are actually way nicer. Higher res, better light effects. Enough to justify losing the FPS, which I don't say very lightly.

I agree, and I miss that about early EQ expansions. They all had all had end zones or end bosses that were super-hard compared to the rest and took a while for someone to take down: Classic (Fear), Kunark (VP), Velious (North ToV/AoW), PoP (Time), GoD (Tunat), and OoW (Mata). In one case (Tunat)...

So you can take the beach outfits right outside of Costa? What about the Corel region in general? I wish you could just keep them on indefinitely for the rest of the game, Tifa's shorts/tied shirt combo is hot AF. I'm starting to think the dungeons are easily the weakest point of this game...

Same here, agreed on both of those. Just wiped for the first time all game, against almost-unnerfed (one stone found) Kjata. Got it to about 60% HP. I really like these tough optional summon fights. Question about Crisis Core: Did Aerith know Zack died? I.e. does she know in FF7 that he's...

My current laptop is beginning to break down, time to get a new one. Was gonna wait and get one on Black Friday like I usually do every 3 or so years, but there are some good sales at Best Buy this weekend: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/laptop-and-computer-deals Never emulated Switch...

Doooo it. You gonna run SK? Pretty sure Atabishi is retired, but you know what they say. Would love to see Dima pull up on a new server and add some chaos, but Phinny (well live now) is his home permanently and he's in retired mode more than anything else too. All of the major TLP factions...

Where does that happen? Costa? I thought I did everything there. The piano minigame is pretty sick, music-inclined people on YT are going to create some awesome tracks with that. Reached overworld area #4. Terrific music there, wow. Quick thoughts on the overworld:

$1499? What a joke. It'll be hilarious to hear about when like 9 people sign up / show out in a room that seats 300 people or w/e. They're doing exactly what I would do if I didn't want anyone to show up, for sure.

The Dyne/Barret stuff was really soul-crushing, as it should have been, they really nailed that part. Not sure how I feel about yet though. That took some of the impact out of it.

Yeah, there's a lot to be said for avoiding the appearance of impropriety whether anything is actually amiss or not. Then again the devs in question aren't going to just stop playing in the guild in question so it kinda is what it is at this point. It's the kind of thing that'll drive off other...

Halfway through the story (according to the HUD), went back and at least got the summons/summon stones from the earlier areas and the Chadley materia for each area, which didn't actually take long at all at this point. A few things I've learned: -Early on, don't sleep on the "enhances [element]...

Anyone try Dynamic mode? I'm in the third "world" and for now I can't go back to the first two. Regret not finding the 3 summon stones in each area or getting Chadley's materia sets (which are different in each area). So bear that in mind. I'm still trying to balance story progress and...

https://www.youtube.com/live/ZwgDdx7p9Kg?si=aMdyYns_EijlRfjU Oh yeah, so the Sephiroth statue contest at the end of the stream was won by "Shadowknight Iksar EQ". Which one of you degenerates is that?

So...when can I kick Cloud out of the party and run with Tifa in the lead? They said you could reconfigure the party any way you wanted, but even if I change leaders, Cloud still takes point on the overworld. Wtf. Also can't remove him from the group. He's a lot more likeable than the first...

IIRC Sekiro had enemies that reached into their own ass and pulled out a soul stone or something like that, or maybe they reached into your character's ass. I don't remember, only saw it in a YT video and don't think I saw it ingame. Point is From is really into Butt Stuff and those old Japanese...

Yeah I keep seeing that same "last boss fight" thumbnail video popping up. So annoying. Then again at least the picture doesn't give much away except who it is. Probably gonna have to just avoid the FF7 side of YouTube. That one guy who posted that final boss video should be shot. Probably a...
