    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Linked for the thumbnail Looks like Tifa's boobs have been vastly downgraded for Crisis Core. Well, she IS supposed to be a lot younger there, like 16. IDK though, her character model looks pretty terrible from the neck down regardless, even aside from that. Edit - Looks like they were way...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yuffie also has some good fanservice and references for Dirge of Cerberus fans. ........well, Dirge of Cerberus players. So I expect DoC to get mixed in with the FF7R canon going forward and for Wutai to be a lot more fleshed-out. Good video, I watched all couple hours of it. Guy totally...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    I'm doing it, I'm playing Four White Mages finally. On NES of course. Marsh Cave and Astos were the parts I was most worried about. Got the unlucky roll of four Piscodemons. I basically spam Ruse on everyone until they've all got two layers of it, then just spam attack for a few minutes and...

    Retro Multiplayer Gaming Night - Gauging Interest for 2023.

    I should probably do stuff like this... dammit I'm in! I don't have any of those old PC games though. I've got like, Warcraft 3 and Elder Scrolls on PC and the rest of what I have is Switch or PS5. So if there are console game days I'll jump in. Feel like Elden Ring might be a good one for that...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think this arena update is technically a DLC, yes. However it isn't a "DLC expansion" in the way people usually think of them when you say DLC, ala Ashes of Ariandel and The Ringed City. So that's probably why the difference of opinions. This is a nice DLC update but we're still waiting for...

    Yeah, I agree. I like Fire Emblem 3 through 8, but 8 is a notable step down. I think they reached their apex with 6 and 7, maybe. I didn't play too much of 4 though and I hear that one is another high point.

    How do you deal with someone's suicide?

    A new spin on this, turns out the guy she was with now was really toxic and verbally abusive to her and went out of his way to make her feel miniscule. So now I want to put him in the hospital. But I only have one side of it and for all I know she was toxic to him too. Now knowing that her last...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Anyone doing stuff with the new DLC? I dunno when I'll get around to it because the timing is bad. Hoping that the arena stuff has a lot to it, maybe the 3 arenas all have different things to do or something like that. I heard there might be other new things snuck into the game as well.

    I didn't like Fire Emblem: Three Houses either. I like the old FEs. Like, the first ten, the remakes of 1 and 2 (Shadow Dragon and Echoes: Shadows of Valentia) and that's about it. So the last FE game I actually liked was about 12 years ago. The SNES and GBA ones (3 through 8) were the pinnacle...

    How do you deal with someone's suicide?

    I was right about the grief hitting me harder the next day, it's been a rough one. Trying to figure out if I should message some of her old friends on Facebook and let them know, since she was so out of touch with people and there's nothing on there letting anyone know. Course I'll leave out the...

    The Callisto Protocol (Survival Horror)

    I was considering giving this a whirl since it's short and linear (pluses for me, just want to get through the game). However inventory space being severely limited is such a turn-off for me. The reason it took me ages to get through some of the Resident Evils, got so tired of trying to organize...

    How do you deal with someone's suicide?

    I know we've got people on here who have had to deal with this. My long-time best friend (and ex-GF, almost married her back in 2016) killed herself. I'd been out of touch for most of the past year and now I feel terrible like I should have been more present for her. I had no idea what a tough...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Yeah, pretty much. Only devs I'd keep around are Fromsoft, Square-Enix, Nintendo and their subsidiaries for Mario/Metroid/Zelda, and Sega for the Yakuza series. Isshin is going to be really good.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I want to see Fromsoft do one of those Marvel-like "here's everything we're releasing for the next 3 years" announcements. They're about the only company I care about seeing something like that from (besides Square-Enix). I'd also like to see FS wrap up their existing games that don't have...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I hear that. I don't know how people can stand grouping in WoW either. When I play EQ, pretty much every random group I join can be expected to show basic competency, maybe even some impressive skill. If I join a terrible group that doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground, it's a rare...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Kingsglaive was pretty awesome. Saw it before the game came out and I was beyond stoked. Looked like FF15 was going to be almost like a retelling of FF6, with the Empire and its bigwigs falling into the same categories (Iedolas = Gestahl, Ardyn = Kefka, Ravus = Leo, Aranea = Celes, Verstael =...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well I never got around to buying DF and sorta lost all my motivation to play. At least I got the Shadowlands raids done right under the wire. No particular reason, WoW just isn't that interesting at this point. I'll try again later. One issue with the subscription system is that you kinda feel...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Necron is a pain, so is Ozma. Now that I think about it, FF9 probably does have FF5 beat on difficulty because FF9 doesn't have classes you can optimize like you can with Neo Exdeath and Shinryu/Omega. One particularly rough fight that comes to mind is Yiazmat in FF12. I think that fight took...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    FF5 might be the best on gameplay out of the entire first 9 (not that 10 is better, but I tend to group 1-9 for comparison and consider 10+ to be a completely different era). FF6 is the best in most other areas and probably surpasses it overall. As a kid I once loaded up all my save files and...

    Final Fantasy 16

    I assume this is from Spain or Mexico? "anos" means years, so each of those numbers is indicating how old someone needs to be to see that particular thing. Kinda interesting that sexual intercourse is "14 and up" considering it's very 18+ here. Not surprising though because Latin societies...

    Wow, pretty much every map shown in that video isn't in the final game. Raises even more questions. I'm guessing the fortress in the screenshot isn't even a real area in the game, but a test arena they designed for showing off. Some of those maps look bigger than what's in the actual game...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Do you actually get stronger as Sekiro goes on? I remember it not having level-gains (outside of some mask you get in the lategame that lets you incrementally increase attack power). I could skip Lady Butterfly and go back later, except I'd just run into a wall with whatever other next boss I...

    That's pretty cool. FF4 got a standalone PS1 version in Japan? It's funny, this is what I wished I could have done in the 90's. As early as 1995 I was obsessed with Japan-only games like FF5 and Star Ocean and would have jumped through hoops to import them if my family could have afforded it...

    JRPGs

    I think it's actually a White Mage. Just noticed that the other two characters on the upper wall are both defending (looks like a Samurai? and Dragoon). That could be a WM defending. Still, the actual battle arena in the shot isn't one I recognize from the game and now I'm super-intrigued to...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    As I understand it, we're getting a 3-fer in one year, much like Pokemon just did. Dec 22: Crisis Core July? 23: FF16 Dec 23: FF7-2 Though FF16 could really be anywhere in the summer, I think it'll be earlier. And FF7-2 could easily be bumped back to March 24 to be on the 4 year release of the...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yuffie DLC is pretty decent, particularly if you like Yuffie. It can be finished in like 5 hours and if you have it already, why not? It also sets up Part 2. PS5 is awesome, really does feel PC-like visually. Plus the controller is pretty incredible (play something that makes full use of the...

    FF Tactics has amazing cover art (most of Square's PS1 output did). However, what's going on with this: The screenshots on the back cover don't add up. Delita at the waterfall is fine. The one on the left, though, that looks like Vormav activating his Lucavi transformation, in the room where...

    Anyone getting Crisis Core in a week or so? This one really snuck up on me. I'm probably gonna wait until after the new year and stick to what I'm working on now. Considering making a thread for Crisis Core...I don't know if it has enough interest on here though. Was fantastic on PSP and I'm...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Sounds like you're gonna roll the actual final boss. Luckily there are a couple of uberbosses in FF5 to give you an actual reason to power up to insane levels. FF5 invented the Optional Uberboss, more or less. Unless you count Astaroth in FF2 as one, but I think that was more of an "accidental...

    Am I remembering right that the Saber spell does nothing in NES FF1? I think that's what the Giant Gloves cast. If the spell doesn't work, the item definitely does.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Sekiro is kind of a rhythm game where you can probably tell a lot more from the sound. I've heard it compared to Punch-Out. Still, total insanity. I didn't get past Lady Butterfly, with two hands and not blindfolded. Looking forward to another Elden Ring play. At this point I'm waiting to see...

    EQ TLP - Next Server Ideas

    Most of this Purgatory idea sounds like a pipe/fever/crack dream. However, I like the idea of a class unlock schedule. I'd flip things a bit though. Having the most OP/oversaturated classes held back until Month 5 would put a new spin on the early game. Start: Warrior, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yeah, I don't even know why I bother. I've done single-class FF1 with everyone except White Mages now. 4x Fighter is super easy, just a lot of grinding for money 4x Black Belt was harder at first, then way easier after level 10 or so because they just rolled everything. 4x Red Mage was actually...

    EQ TLP - Next Server Ideas

    I like this idea the most out of everything in here. Maybe even throw double exp in there too, maybe not. I think the game would be WAY more fun with faster moving and casting, with melee haste to balance it out. Yeah, it'd be kind of a crazy server and might run into some unforeseen issues...

    Finished FF2 PS1. Had to train up the Berserk spell in the final dungeon as that was the only way to significantly damage the final boss without using the Blood Sword. Got Berserk to 10 and that did the trick. Also beat Astaroth. I always thought of him as just one of the four guardians on route...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yeah, using Unarmed + a shield offhand seems to be the way to go in FF2. My characters attacks outpaced the strongest weapons in any given part of the game. That also levels their evasion and speed which are crucial for lategame. Take the shields off for boss fights and they punch like 3x...
