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.

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...

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...

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 =...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

@Zaide read this and went "challenge accepted"

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...

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...

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...

Jeeeesus

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...

I've never played any Trails games at all, but a few people I know are really into them. I haven't even been able to keep up with Xenoblade in terms of modern stuff. At least I played Persona 5. I respect that the Trails games set up a world and followed through with it over ~10? ish games...

I thought Midnight Suns was gonna be an MK-like fighting game, Marvel's answer to DC's Injustice games. So it's a card based game? Meeeeeh.

Good that we have gay and disabled dragon representation. But where is the representation for Latino and Pacific Islander dragons?

My FF2 (PS1 version) playthrough is going a little less well. I totally see why people hate FF2 so much. I'm about halfway through that game (the Arena) and at some point around the Dreadnought (two dungeons before where I am) the enemies suddenly start going first all the time, in every fight...

What titles did it get changed to? All I see now is this boring shite one you did~ @Chersk Naw I meant boring as in the thread title would be boring if it were just "Retail", not that the game itself is boring. "Scissor Me Daddy" would have been a much better title. Oh well. ::goes back to...
