Lol I one-rounded Omega with dual wield Thundaga spellblade Rapid Fire. Thanks for the tip on FF7! Didn’t know that existed, I’ll definitely check it out.

Stingray in 5 took me longer than Warmech in 1. You must have really lucked into some of the blue magic stuff, or you really knew what you were doing. 5 was definitely the most involved thus far. I’m sure 6 will be similarly involved, at least because it does a world change too.

I'll also add, it has been delightful to play these all in order back to back and watch how the games evolved in each iteration. While in some cases they experimented with mechanics going back and forth, other things like graphics (obviously), art style, level design, etc. all continued to make...

It didn’t take long to wrap everything up actually, once I put on the 4x ABP boost. With that, grinding out the jobs in the final dungeon took an hour tops. Even without Movers spawning, the other basic fights were 100+ ABP per fight on 4x. You can grind the whole gamut pretty damn quick at that...

Bleh, if I had known this I'd have cranked boost up to 4x on ABP earlier on. Ah well, just gotta find a good grind spot. On the last dungeon, Interdimensional Rift or whatever. Still need to kill Omega and Shinryu.

Oh for fuck's sake I'm just now learning you have to master all jobs on ONE char to get that last trophy. The previous trophies were fooling me because they were taking into account global masteries.

FF5 - Jesus they really ramped up the annoying in this one. Overall it's been really fun and probably a step up from all previous (story or characters or something isn't as catchy as 4, can't put my finger on it), but fuck's sake some of the enemies/bosses are just 11/10 annoying. It doesn't...

Lolwut? Elden Ring a gamble?

Come on man, you're a bit of a vicious cunt yourself so I was just responding to your snipe with you as a known quantity on these forums. But fair enough, it probably wasn't necessary as this particular snipe wasn't vicious. So, apologies. Whatever you posted about Poison is absolutely not true...

No, dice were completely removed from PF2e. Now you ask if the monster consents to being hit by your weapon/spell, and then go into a negotiation on how much damage should be done. You do get your negotiation bonus though.

Yes, plats on Pixel Remasters 1-4. Just started 5, looking forward to a revisit to the job system in a better fleshed out overall character paradigm. I also have never played this one so yay! I'm playing each of these with no boost until the end, so it's taking a bit longer than your posted...

Ah yes, see I'm glad I asked. Of course I'm aware of all of this, that's why I qualified my statement with "George Lucas" and "nostalgia" rather than use a much more generic unclear statement. In fact that's exactly why I compared it to George Lucas specifically, because in the wake of his...

What’s the irony

What the fucking fuck, they changed the Spoon to a Knife? These remaster fuckwads! These games are great overall, but the George Lucas style artistic license shit is rustling my nostalgia quite a bit.

I’m also rustled that the Scan spell appears to not work on bosses anymore. I can get the “Bestiary” item to work, but never the white magic spell. I always loved opening boss fights with that spell.

In the remaster? I’m trying to reconcile my memory of poison wrecking you with it doing nothing to me at all in the PR.

Im not even talking about player spells, I mean when enemies poison me. My whole team was poisoned at one time early in the game and I was panicked worrying about getting antidotes out before people died… but it did exactly nothing. Did not have any effect at all until back on the overworld...

Finished plats on 2 and 3, working on 4 now. 3 was definitely longer and more involved than the prior two, and overall I enjoyed it a bunch. Shame most of the jobs aren’t really useful. On 4, is it just me or does poison do nothing in battle anymore? It used to erode your hp gradually like the...

Weird, when I watch that trailer I don't see a single attractive person, and many who are downright ugly.

Those two changed songs -- Jabba's palace musical number, and the end finale celebration song -- still trigger me to this day.

Well performance is different from the controls feeling sluggish and unresponsive, but yeah I'm sure it's the same engine with the same issues.

First game felt sluggish and unresponsive, I'd want to hear that's improved in this one. I'm willing to bet it is not improved, though.

The story/lore of the 2nd one was for sure a big reason why I was much less impressed with it compared to the first, and why I was going to be very unlikely to follow the series beyond it. The woke shit just makes that decision a ton easier.

Is this a ChatGPT Zork?

Hire ugly bug-eyed actress/model, get ugly bug-eyed results. Can't explain that!

For sure so far in my playthrough (about 75% finished probably), there isn't really anything memorable, and plenty annoying about it. It feels very "B team." The passwords are kinda cool I guess? For slightly interactive conversations.

Yours is a special kind of autism, but I do enjoy reading your posts. I'm a couple hours into FF2 after the plat for FF1. I've never played 2, 3, or 5, and I'm going in order so it'll be awhile until I'm back to something familiar. FF2 is pretty damn weird honestly... not sure I like the...

Yeah I was doing the math on that. Take off the ~20% for the legal team, and there would have to be fewer than ~3mil complainants for it to reach the worth-my-time bar ($200 payout).

Jedi are groomers apparently.

Uh, weren't those Leia and Han's kids?

Yeah but I bet they aren't Satanists.

Endgame's main problem was Captain Cunty. Her flying through the ship and destroying it like it's paper was just fucking stupid. DXM solution to a serious issue, followed by an equally DXM solution to her being too powerful (punch her out of the movie!). Fucking hate that character.

Bloodstained was solid, but my capstone metroidvania of the past 5ish years was Hollow Knight. Blasphemous is cool though, I need to get back to it.

Yup, that’s the bread and butter.

Just watched the finale. Jesus, standards are low in 2023.

Yeah subtle changes like you mention “Innefective!” are HUGE for FF1. I also haven’t played it since I was 12 or so. Any tips on useful spells outside the obvious damage and buffs? Things like Hold, Slow, etc have any niche usage?

Same, and at this point rather than be excited to see my fav char ever (Thrawn) come to the screen finally, I’m just worried they’ll fuck it up as usual. Zero expectations. I’ll be over here re-listening to the Thrawn trilogy.

Season 3 is one long shark jump. The show is powerful stupid. That so many are loving it must speak to the deep desire of Star Wars nerds for content. This is the best they can do, but it’s still fucking garbage.

I don’t plan to buy the DLC and it will be fine.

60-70% of characters being some form of faggot is definitely an agenda. This is not representation or inclusion.
