In Final Fantasy II: Leila, Leon and Scott are left-handed. In Final Fantasy IV: Kain and Palom are left-handed. Yeah, there are no shortcuts in the 16 bit version. You farm a 1/4300 battle item and like it. That's how it'll be in the PR as well most likely.

Man, in 11 days my poor CRPG Crusade is gonna have to go on pause for a couple months. Hopefully I can get Baldur 2 and FO1 done by then cause I'd hate to leave them hanging midway through. A few bits of advice for this series: FF1: -If you're gonna do any grinding in this game, do it early...

Yeah, unarmed + shield is the way to go. Just be sure you properly switch it around for the left-handed characters. I steamrolled FF2 on the PS1 (Origins) version a while back by doing this. I'm gonna assume the DS version has much higher drop rates for Pink Tails if you were able to get 5 of...

For anyone wondering about trophies: https://www.truetrophies.com/n22553/final-fantasy-pixel-remaster-trophies PS4 version is most likely going to be the same or very similar trophy sets to these lists. Interesting and logical sets here, though I'm a bit concerned about the "Get 100% of the...

This has a lot of potential for longevity, and if they were gonna do an "experimental mechanics" server I'd much rather see it be something like this. Perhaps add an "expansion flag dude" to Commonlands tunnel who you have to talk to after beating any particular final boss in order to chronicle...

Her - Really good Joaquin Phoenix movie where he plays a guy in love with an AI chat program (voiced by Scarlett Johannson). Lot of heart-felt moments in it and whatnot. The first hour actually made me kind of sleepy, then it picks up a bit in the second hour. Thought it might turn into a horror...

Good point about height, in pictures you always want to be taller than the people around you and I guess the objects too. I don't think height matters as much as the internet thinks it does (I've known some very successful short and medium guys) but when you're looking at initial attraction...

They're probably not holding back any great ideas, yeah. Thing is though, what players want is so readily obvious that it defies belief that they aren't going that route, unless they're saving things for an occasion and want it to be a big deal at that point, doing experimentation in the...

I mean me getting beat up by a Navy chick isn't as impressive as you getting beaten off by African tribesmen, so I defer to you.

Oh yeah, good point. The FF4 that I posted such a low time on was the SNES version. This one is gonna be the SFC version and significantly tougher. 7 hours, 10 hours... I don't remember exactly what my time was. Just that I reached the final boss with a single-digit time and I wasn't even...

Maybe someone should do a Prydain Chronicles thread in the Book House, IDK. Lot of stuff from that series to get into. This jogged my memory about the beginning of The High King and now I remember it a bit more. First book Taran is a kid, second he's a kid on an adventure with a sense of...

Yeah, I exagerrated. FF1 PR and FF4 SNES took me like 12 and 8 hours respectively on a replay a few years ago, both were waaay shorter than I remembered. I didn't play any of the others at the time. If sub-10 on FF4 is so unbelievable, maybe I'll set a day aside and do it again.

Yeah, these are pretty close to the originals. They don't have the optional dungeons and super bosses that got added in later (DS and PSP) versions, which is sometimes a bad thing and sometimes doesn't matter. They look like the originals, just sharpened up and wide-screen. Worth getting all of...

I mean, I beat FF4 in like one workday last time I played it. The SNES version is really easy outside of the final boss. I'd go take a picture of my final time, but I went and farmed Pink Puffs for about 16 more hours (and never got their drop)

I bet "I gave up on the first level" represents like 30-45% of the Returnal playerbase. It's a shame that the game doesn't do a better job letting people actually get into it. I enjoyed it (on the like, 5th attempt over the years when I finally had a winning strategy) but I can't really...

Bards have the runspeed and kite ability to run things around and tie down zones. As far as instas go, Bellow is very insta and range. Whenever that is (not classic AFAIK).

I'm thinking about running a Paladin with 17 Monks as backup. But seriously, someone said "blue balls" and that's true, I was all ready to come back and try a Paladin. Hopefully they change things up substantially.

It might actually be the case that the 25th will be the TLP(s) that they put everything into / take everything they've learned from the others and make one or two super-TLPs that combine the best of the good servers into one big idea. Mischief + slightly slower Selo + no boxing restrictions +...

I don't know, maybe they saw all the sycophants on the live board responding to criticism from people like me with "Rajaah just wants Vaniki to be ezmode!" and "How do we know unless we try" type posts defending the boss choices. I bet most of those sycophants didn't even end up playing on the...

Only played FF1 on phones. It was a good remake and easily my preferred way to play FF1 now. Didn't go beyond 1 cause I was hoping for console versions. Gonna go through all six once they're out. They're all worth playing, except maybe FF2 which you have to really be a series fan to get...

Yeah I thought about topping stats out at 9 instead of 10 since there are probably bobbleheads lurking about. Hunting down all seven bobbleheads was one of the most fun things I did in FO3. Then I realized it's FO1 and I want to get it trounced ASAP so I went full 10 on the key stats. I...

Just beat the game. I was surprised at the spontaneous and random anime buttsex orgy. Seemed like the inclusion of the sexy octopus was pretty racist though.

In theory there's nothing stopping a bunch of people from sitting in the same camp and trying to out-quickdraw each other. Camps will basically be kaput and the better DPS racer will be at the mercy if server latency. Also, anyone with programs that show spawn timers / respawn eta on a mob are...

No real Baldur 2 progress to update, I got kind of lost in the underworld. Left off in the Drow city with no clue what to do. Lost quite a bit of motivation in that section of the game for some reason. Maybe I'm a bit Baldur'd out? Spent about 25 hours on BG1, 12 on SoD, and 27 (and counting) on...

The internet in general is like that. Post "10 best games of 2022" and "10 worst games of 2022" videos on Youtube and the worst list will get like 4-5x as many views. Happened with literally everyone who did it. And if you want a question answered... posting a question might be met with...

Maybe the cops got Abolished at some point between the 2nd and 4th movies. Funny how now people in TV media who were pushing that stuff are saying "no what we meant was reallocate funds to mental health instead of policing". Weird cause while I remember lots of "abolish police" signs I don't...

I think she's hot. We'll let the viewers decide: And yeah, the movie was a great idea with very poor execution. I've also found myself skipping things that aren't that great more and more lately. Too much actual good stuff I have to get through and too little time to burn on things that are...

Yeah, now it's referred to generally as the Prydain Chronicles, but for a long time the five books didn't really have a concrete name like LOTR does. The ones I have are first edition, which is pretty cool. I had to pay up to get them (in some cases, some I lucked out). They look exactly like...

Raids in a traditional sense would be a thing of the past because every fight would just be a mindless zerg-tag with everyone ungrouped to maximize loot. Every time a target is called by any guild, people from all over the land would be running over to take a potshot at the mob. Loot prices...

I was thinking about how as a Bard I could control the entire zone of Maiden's Eye and I'll admit, my nipples got just a little hard thinking of all the salt that would generate. I'm not about griefing other players under most normal circumstance, but things like this will inevitably happen...

They would have to be on Playstation for that cause I only keep track of PS trophies. I'm not a madman. If they get a PS5 version later... I'LL DO IT, DOUBLE PLATINUM X6 I'm kinda glad this year's EQ TLP sucks cause I was trying to figure out how I'd fit that in with this Final Fantasy...

Yeah, 3 is quite good. 1 is good too but it might just be because I grew up with it. I got a PS4 physical copy from Playasia for $85 during a brief window of availability, only to almost immediately get an email from them saying they made a mistake and the game won't actually get a physical PS4...

People have been saying exactly that for years and it hasn't happened. Made total sense to have the US and IC champions be the top guys on the two respective shows with Roman going between the shows and being above them as the sort of visiting force. If he's feuding on one show maybe he isn't on...

@Tarrant @DickTrickle I can't believe you guys didn't get it. I know what Rocky 3 is, that was a reference to CM Punk's unfamiliarity with it that was all over the internet as of late.

That was my issue with Ready Player One (well, one of them). The movie was full of game references that popped the crowd, but almost none of it meant anything. "Look! It's the Iron Giant! I was attached to him as a kid!" I'm surprised this Mario movie didn't go the route of a lot of modern...

My plan to run an SK/Shaman/Bard or Paladin/Shaman/Bard CRPG/RTS trio is pretty much scuppered now. I guess I'll run a solo Bard if I play at all, since Bards are gonna dominate open world raid boss grabs. ...that is, if anyone's racing. But that would require more than one guild to give a shit.

Truebox is a lot like gun control: Makes life harder for the people who follow the rules, has no effect on the people who don't follow the rules. Needs to be done away with.

Shhh, don't say it too loud, you'll flux all of my plans.

I never beat up any Navy Seals, but close enough: I got beaten up by one Navy sergeant once. A female one. I think she was Puerto Rican. I knew better than to fight back due to her Puerto Rican ness. I actually kinda wanted to fight back by the end when she was going "bawk bawk bawk" at me but...

-Oakwynd sounds like a player name. Player or noted NPC? -No 3-box until GoD? People will do it anyway with programs so why not just let everyone do it? -Early in the letter it says relaxed truebox at GoD and no rules at TSS, then later it says OoW and TBS. Not sure which. -No DPS racing...
