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...

That first sword upgrade being 3k while you only have 2k was the bane of my existence for a little while. Ended up getting the card boosters and Steal instead, then when I got 3k a couple hours later I went back and got the sword. They kinda dangle it in front of you at the beginning. The story...

Innoruuk Shaman can get it too? Nice. Even if it's the weakest snare it's still something. https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=1254 Looked it up finally. Damn, it's Clinging Darkness, not Snare. That's a significant downgrade for anything besides aggro. Six-second casting time...

Yeah, Eligor was an awesome fight (with, again, great music from the FF13-2 composer). I think Eligor and Hell House are my two favorite bosses. A lot of the boss fights really drag on, but those were very engaging/challenging. Agreed, graphic setting is the way to go with this thing. Need to...

I like the Train Graveyard chapter a lot, and probably the most out of all the "dungeon" sections of the game. This place looks how Midgar was supposed to look, dank and misty rather than bright and peppy. Also you can tell people from FF13-2 worked on this chapter. Has a very 13-2 sounding...

For me it's a hopeful upbeat theme that breaks down into kind of this cold icy sound right before it loops. Like you're hopeful and upbeat, but still in a cold rainy slum. I really like that part though. As a kid it was an upbeat theme I listened to in the morning before the first day (or one...

Yeah Tiche isn't what I'd use to hold aggro at all. Most of the time she prances around away from the enemy. I guess Poo Man is the big aggro tank? Never got him. Well now I have an objective for the next time through. Also how is there still major stuff I never got when I played it five times...

Yeah that's true. It had the same issue Terminator Salvation had. Should have been a thick cloud of smog over everything, instead it's bright and sunny. During the current replay I felt like the early parts of the game really felt nothing like original FF7, between the brightness of everything...

Sounds like a pretty good fusion of Mischief and Vaniki, I like this idea.

That's super weird. Wonder why they'd make a change like that. Unless the changed line is supposed to be some kind of ominous portent? I don't see how it might relate to the new game or why they had to go back and patch this one particular thing. Did Chapter 8 and 9 tonight, which took nearly...

Yeah, the theory they put forward was the main thing that made no sense to me.

Looks like absolutely nobody is doing midnight launches anymore. Gamestop (well, the few that are still open) is a no go for this and any other games in the forseeable future. Yowzers. So the only way to play this at midnight is to digital-buy it. If you're not doing that, and I'm not, then you...

This guy has a couple damn good theories here. Also points out that the south part of Mountaintop shares enemies with the north part of Caelid, indicating that there was previously a landmass connecting them. He posits that the six Divine Towers are basically holding up the veil/whatever that...

Yeah. On a different year that's more experimental, I'd like to see: -A TSS start free trade no boxing restriction server -An Agnarr clone that starts in classic and ends in OoW, call it the Mata Muram server Probably wouldn't be much overlap in who these draw in. Would also like to see a...

Hold on a second. They're making good decisions with the rulesets like Mischief 2.0? What's the catch? Watch them come out with six TLPs at once for the anniversary

Did the same, I'm at chapter 9 in about 6 hours. I think I'm about a third of the way* so I might be able to get it done by Thursday morning but we'll see. * - IMO the first act ends when you meet Aerith in the church, and the second act ends when they arrive at Shinra Tower. That place is...

Good to know, that's a huge detail. When I played other people's level 40+ clerics on 50-capped TLPs a couple times, I remember going full Ghetto Paladin route and could stand and bang with pretty much anything in Lower Guk if the fights were one-on-one. Two-on-one I'd need to back one off with...

Looks like another step on the road to erasing history. Next they have to figure out how to shut down the Wayback Machine.
