FF2 has a really really good boss theme (that I think started with the PS1 version Origins). I like the SaGa elements of character leveling. It's the weakest of the lot but it isn't terrible, especially with the new boosts. It's good to play for completion's sake. FF2 is something you gotta just...

Roman might as well go for Bruno's record now (which means sparse defenses) if there'll be a second title that will actually be defended regularly. However the audience is going to see this as a distant second, unimportant title, as well they should, due to having no lineage and basically being...

I assume the expansion will be around the two year anniversary of the game, so February 2024, and that they've been working on it the whole time. Going off of the release windows of other Fromsoft DLCs in the past. This one is also gonna be significantly bigger than any other Fromsoft DLC...

Yeah go with the boosts. In other games they generally aren't necessary (maybe 2x for FF3) but I'd say in FF2 crank all the boosts to max and turn on HP compensation. Makes the game a lot more enjoyable cause you don't have to worry about stuff anymore and basically just level normally. From...

Yeah the GBA remake super bosses were easy. Was never a fan of that version of the game, lot of slowdown and lag for whatever reason. As for FF4 DS, trying to remember if I took down Geryon and Proto-Babil or not. About 80% sure I did. I remember doing a lot of tail-collecting of multiple...

Yep. Far as I can tell you can spawn everything in the endgame except for the mobs from Zot/ToB/GoB. So basically those 4 areas (ToB has two segments on two visits) are the only thing one really needs to "worry" about, rest can be cleaned up later pretty easily. The only issue is that there are...

Yep, FF3 is taking waaaay longer than 1 and 2. I got about halfway through it and then detoured back to FF4. So I guess I'm bouncing between 3 and 4. Once they're both done I'll focus solely on 5 and I'm looking forward to only working on one. I got to thinking about how FF5 is probably my...

The reason that happens is probably because new players hear all the game journalist griping and bitching about how hard the game is, so they're conditioned to expect something that whoops their ass, so when they go over the wrong bridge and end up in hell, they think it's normal despite that it...

You sound like my first girlfriend. "What do you get from beating a game?" she moaned while simultaneously wanting me to either work more to appease her parents, or spend more time with her while she complained about me not working more so she could complain about me not being around enough if...

Something Awful, there's a name I haven't seen in a bit. Anyone ever play Awful Fantasy 3? Heard it was a pretty awesome FFVI romhack in its day that spawned from the SA forums, totally forgot about it until just now.

And here I thought Ted was gonna be the future star of Legacy and Cody was gonna be the job guy. Well, very briefly

I think Caelid is singularly responsible for a ton of the "Elden Ring is too hard" articles/posts/memes and whatnot. Where should Caelid fall in the progression? I think after Altus Plateau but before Mountaintop. So probably like... Mt. Gelmir / Volcano Manor / Imperial Capitol tier? Maybe...

It feels good to have all these in one place on a modern system like this. I pretty much just used attack spells and heal spells throughout, didn't really bother with status effects. Temper + Haste turns melee characters into full-on beastmode though.

Women gain weight a lot faster than men do. They can lose it pretty fast too. The unhappily married girl who divorced her husband when we got together went from about 135 to 110 in 3 months. When we first got together she was a bit heavier than I'd like but got by on her personality and...

Same thing happened to me. I reloaded an autosave and did it again, same thing. You have to fight a battle and use it in that battle. For me it was the Roundworm, so it might have to be a boss IDK probably not. After that battle the trophy popped. (I got Cure to 16 outside of battle, THEN used...

Done with FF2, that took about 10 hours. 2 on Weds (after the FF1 plow) and about 4 each yesterday and today when I was busier. FF4 messing up the order cause I tried it out for a bit, but it'll get reordered and straightened out. Anyone else even playing these, or are we just buying them to...

Looks like in the Pixel Remasters, enemy drop calculations are done for all enemies onscreen. In the past, FF4 would pick one enemy out of the battle and then do the drop calculation for that enemy. So a 4x Pink Puff fight was a 1/64 chance of getting a tail, but now it would be 4/64 or 1/16. I...

Bumped the thread...for that?

Damn, this looks good. I gotta get ahold of Blasphemous 1. Looks like a combination Soulsborne+Metroidvania which are basically my two favorite genres at this point, plus the world and boss designs are incredibly unique.

Yeah I'd rather see a TLP every six months instead of two every 12 months. Just do the same thing only spaced differently. Wanted to play on Yelinak some, but it conflicted with others. Also, this way you'd get one in like mid-November which would be great for people going into the holiday...

I'm guessing that was the item that was originally called Whistle, and summons the rare mob for your area once. I might do the grind normally to shoot for level 99 (you need 70+ for 100% anyway) given how quickly I was able to get 99 in the SNES version in that room. Then when I get up to...

Can only murderhobo in games that allow it. Usually just CRPGs. Nothing like being at the end of my rope with a game and just murdering everyone in sight. I'll reset the save if I have to, or just beat the game like that and get a bad ending. What's up with the race/species thing? Aside from...

Took about an hour for me, then I got him twice in five minutes (kept fighting there 'cause everyone was like 95 and I figured I might as well finish off 99). It really is completely random. On the NES it was 1/64 odds and when you entered the room there was a "probability counter" with 64...

Got the FF1 platinum last night, about 2 hours after I finished the game. Was a very easy plat because nothing was missable and it tells you exactly where you missed chests. Be halfway thorough while going through the game and you might not even have to do clean-up. Looks like all the other...

Throne of Bhaal beaten (last weekend), so Baldur's Gate series is dooooone. Aerie got preggers right before the final battle. She actually broke up with the MC and then they got back together. Didn't play long enough to see the Item Baby. Dragon models in this game are pretty awesome. This...

I think so. 3 and 5 are both really good from a pure gameplay perspective. They have class systems and you can customize your party any way you want while leveling up classes and learning abilities. 5 is considerably bigger and has a more robust class system. FF2 is the weak point of the six...

Yeah, Japanese people are significantly less Degenerate Weeb than Western players are. Western players think Japanese people are like that and want to emulate them, but really they're just speaking for someone else, the way white people always do. Was hilarious watching white people leap to...

I played the FF4 US SNES version, which is what I said was a lot shorter than people remember, to prove a point. Call it "Easytype" or whatever the Japanese lingo is but I proved said point. Oh yeah, those sections can be trouble spots. The key is to cast Float on the group (it can target...

Dragons of Norrath in EQ also had some Asian stylings to it (some of the dragon models, some of the architecture) and it was very cool visually. Then again there's a big difference between Asian styling/architecture and, quote unquote, "The Weeb Shit" The latter is like, midget catgirls...

I've never emulated anything on Wii U, 3DS, or Switch. Also I own BOTW from one or two Black Fridays ago and haven't gotten to it because it looks so washed-out and last-gen 720p blagh. Maybe if I get a modern-looking emulated ROM running, I'll actually sit down and play BOTW finally. Also...

Yeah. The US version had that too, to a lesser extent. In my weekend FF2-US plow, there were a lot of fights where the enemies were getting an action for every attack I did because they were so counter-heavy. Antlion is the first instance of it and that's just the beginning. That means you can...

FF1 beaten, barely. Took 6 hours and change. 75% trophies so I'm not actually done yet. I said before that people are gonna be surprised how short these games actually are. I also did an FF4 speed run over the weekend since people were contesting when I said that game is a lot shorter than...

Must be fixed now. Wasn't there this morning. I went with the same party, except Thief instead of Warrior. It's worked out pretty well. The RM and Thief kind of alternated tanking. RM has much better defense, Thief has way more HP. Got by fine without a Warrior though. 3 and a half hours or...

It's a good idea. Dungeon crawls will be significantly more challenging. Mobs won't be at such a premium anymore so less griefing and competition. People will be too busy fighting the onslaught of the game world to be bitching about anything. Maybe I'd be able to finally get a damn Hadden during...

Was reading some of the Lockjaw drama from 2015. I actually regret missing out on that particular era, some stiff competition going on and claws were out. Though if I had been around unfortunately I probably would have missed it anyway. TBH would have been on Ragefire. All that drama over an...

Cohhcarnage is in the new Yakuza game. He's a free DLC summon, along with Kenny Omega and a few people I don't recognize. Pretty crazy seeing an EQ streamer in a mainstream new game in 2023. I guess he really branched out after EQ though.

I'm leaving out the holy duo-nity of Fighter and White Mage. Lot of people talking about how good Thief is in this version, and Fighter was always so bland and OP. Other notes: Can confirm Monk is much better without armor, not just weapons. Equip him and his defense goes down. Late game armor...

Important note: This is out today, bundle doesn't appear in searches though for some reason. You have to select the ... button and the bundle is in the options, at least for VI, probably the others too. Edit: Well it isn't listed on FF1, so go to FF6 to find the bundle. Also, WTF SE. Costs $30...

I can't imagine streaming to zero people night after night, that must get really demoralizing for people starting out (or more so if they've been doing it a while). Always wanted to try it (I could do Stupid SK Tricks or something like that), but unless one has got a built-in audience I don't...
