I thought this had just kind of become the all-purpose FF thread now that people have been pretty much done with the Pixel Remaster for a long time. 'Sides we've got folks playing the series, so they could necro the FF8 thread, but then they'll move on to FF9 soon enough, and...yeah.

Man, FF8 has to be one of the most breakable RPGs out there. So many things you can do to just shatter this game. Two people can play it differently to the point that it might as well be a different game to both of them. Another thing you can do is punch in all the SeeD test answers, which are...

Me: "Elden Ring gives you a lot of tools and options to make things easy if need be so it's something pretty much anyone can progress in and enjoy, wish more people would give it a shot instead of letting journalists ward them off" Guy: "&^%*@#^%(#$%$#(%#$^%*&" Where's that DLC? People are...

Apparently you're my alt because these things happen to me too. Especially that last one. I jumped to WoW in 2006 to play with a bunch of friends who had been crowing about it for MONTHS, and by a month in they had basically all stopped playing. Happened again later with other games. Partly...

The main problem with your idea is that if they did something like this, you'd probably have about 300 new servers pop up immediately, and each one would have like 12 people on it and fizzle out quickly. Would need to spend some time hyping up and prepping a server with broad appeal via the...

Looks like I haven't gotten the Diabolos lamp yet. Got everyone at about level 10 and all junctioned up with about 70% of the GF skills learned for the 3 starters and Siren. I guess I didn't go very far at all. Squall is by himself in Balamb, no clue where I left off exactly or how close I am to...

Last time I played a year ago, I found two new dungeons (crypts under the Draconic Tree Sentinel bridge) and was shocked there was anything left because I'd scoured everything. Just found out last week there's apparently a crypt dungeon somewhere with a "Nomadic Mimic Tear" boss or something...

Here's how early I played ER: After a few days of playing I decided I wanted a good katana. I asked on here "what's a good katana to get" and someone said Malenia's sword is the best katana. Then I spent the entire game trying to find Malenia's katana, not realizing it was Literally The Last...

Just discovered Shazam works on videogame music. It's a boss theme from Sonic 06... so Sonic 06 actually has good things about it?

Didn't know blind worked on him either. Status effects seem to be pretty useful in FF8 compared to a lot of these games. Well, I'll definitely get him (and Enc-None) a lot sooner in the future. Unrelated note, you ever fight the super-boss in Dragon Quest VI? Easily the toughest fight in the...

I think that's true about a few of these games. Like in 2015 Bloodborne was my first From game and I had a TON of trouble with it for like the first ten hours. Once you figure out what these games want from you, that'll help you with all of the From Soulsbornes. I guess if ER was someone's first...

I mean I discovered all of that over like 4 playthroughs and 200 hours and about a year. No need to be a dick about it. My only point here was that journalists etc make the game sound way harder than it is, and that wards people off who might play it otherwise. Yet the game gives you a zillion...

Gonna try to play Remake beforehand and have it flow right into Rebirth as if it's one big game, because I think that'd make it feel a lot more like FF7 rather than just picking up midway through the story. Just need to figure out when to start the Remake playthrough so that it doesn't overlap...

That and range attacks, multiplayer, sleep arrows, certain OP weapon arts like Fallingstar Beast Jaw and Rivers of Blood, Comet Azur + infinite MP flask, and probably other things I'm forgetting. They give you all the tools to absolutely cruise through the game, which was my point. So I don't...

........I played it at release, completely blind. Didn't even play the network test so I had no idea what I was going into. Also never said "easy", I said it didn't give me any major issues outside of those ten or so spots. Ten or so spots isn't much in a game I played for like 120 hours on the...

I figured there was some trick to it. That's pretty cool, I'm gonna try that next time I play through it. Hopefully I didn't already get him in that slightly-OP early-game save.

I'm not great at Souls games or anything (and Nioh has been totally whooping my ass) so I'm not trying to brag, but I really don't get people who complain about Elden Ring's difficulty. Using all the tools available to me, I never had any real trouble with Elden Ring outside of a few very...

Anyone know what the track is at 49:09? Unsure if it's something from this game, or some other game. Doesn't sound like your regular PS1 theme, wouldn't be surprised if it's from some modern game.

FF8 dropped on the first day of high school for me so I have all this deep nostalgia for it (particularly the school setting of Balamb Garden) and how the uncertainty of the characters matched my own uncertainty with not being sure if I could handle this new school. So I really love FF8 for...

A PS5 Pro launching next winter with a Bloodborne remake would be an incredible Christmas present for all of us. Mostly I'd just be thrilled to have 4k/60 and not have to make the choice in every game (usually end up flipping back and forth). Ray tracing and all that jazz really is impressive...

I had more issues with that knight on the bridge than I did with Malekith himself. I think I won the actual Malekith fight in one try after losing to the knight like 8 times and just running past him. Then I was able to go back and defeat the knight using Malekith's room as a safe zone because...

I've got the Neverwinter Nights remaster for PS4, been trying to get around to it to resume the CRPG Crusade. It still looks real archaic though, even in HD. I don't know how the camera was before but it seems fine in this version, you've got full control over moving it around and I didn't have...

I mean they released the first Switch in March IIRC, eight years before Q1 2025. That's about the right timeframe for the next one. I find it entirely believable. The only potential reason not to is that the first Switch is still making a lot of money from hardware sales and they might want to...

Wait, this is actually what they made that blonde goddess look like in the movie? Sports bra + angry scowl = Whatever interest I had in seeing the movie just flew out the window.

Now kiss!

I'm seeing the name "Sydney Sweeny" EVERYWHERE suddenly. I like Dakota Johnson, she's pretty. However, seeing that one shot of her smug fucking stoned-looking face every time I see anything about this movie...is really kind of a deterrent to seeing it

Nah, pre-ordering is for consoomers. The Best Buy version has some nice pre-order bonus but I don't remember what it is. I expect that game to be good if it follows the original, which it probably will for a while, then go off a total goddamn cliff in the last chapter(s) like the first one did...

What does it run on now, 1080/60? Had a really tough time deciding which mode to play the demo on and kept switching it. The high-res mode really does look nice, with better light effects in particular. However the choppiness forced me to switch to performance before too long. Looking forward...

Been doing that for the first time in a while with Call of Duty games. Have people over, we pass the controller around on deaths. None of them ever played the single-player on those games to any major degree so it's new to all of us. Went through MW1-3 (the original ones) now doing World at War...

I wouldn't switch a bard out for an enc. If the bottom line is "enc or bard?" go with bard for sure. IMO the best trio in EQ at high levels is SK/SHM/BRD. Rest is just throwing DPS on top of that foundation. I'm no modern EQ expert and have only really played in-depth up to level 115 (once)...

Spent a few minutes on UFO Twitter. As somebody super open-minded who doesn't discount preposterous-sounding things and is willing to consider most ideas regardless of how, and I quote, wack they are. That said, UFO Twitter is wack. God damn. No wonder most people don't take any of this...

All I'm hearing is a bunch of Nintendo fanboy bitching out. It's like hearing "I don't mind the PS2 being 480p because I don't have time to sit in front of the TV" from a guy who hasn't upgraded his game console since 2002.

Shimone!

Yeah, it requires a good amount of magic stat to work for very long though. My magic stat is pretty low so I've got two charges of slow and neither lasts very long. Basically just gives me an advantage for part of the fight the same way Living Weapon would. Apparently there are "proc slow on...

I've always been pretty good about finishing every game I get midway through. Once I get past like halfway I'm pretty much guaranteed to finish something. I can remember all of the few games that I gave up on at some point past the halfway point: Recore, Gravity Rush, Control, Prey... I think...

Friend of mine did something like that at a college party. Sounded like it was more of the organic side, where he walked in the bathroom and found this guy banging this girl, and the girl wanted to give him a BJ while she was getting banged. So he was like "welp, when in Rome" and they both...

Lul, yeah, the slow spell is completely OP in this game. So is the electric sword they just give you at some point (part of why I had to respec, to put points in Heart for that). The purple bull summon is also pretty OP when used as a Living Weapon in conjunction with the above. Another key...

Yeah. For me I think Buffy was the earliest show I've seen with spot-on continuity from season to season. Characters just offhandedly referencing things from four years earlier in conversations, etc. They did a damn good job with that show. Before that (so before 1997 or so) continuity in shows...

This game has a super sharp difficulty curve, then it drops off a difficulty cliff just as fast. By the fifth area I was struggling a LOT. The cave with the vampire lady boss gave me as much grief as the Shrine of Amana in Souls 2. Was projecting the game to be more of a problem than any Souls...

Finally watched this and Barbie this week. Barbie... would have been a lot better if I was on lots of drugs. Didn't get too much out of it. Surprised that John Cena and Dua Lipa were only in like one 10 second scene, because from hearing them talk about the movie it sounded like they were major...
