Are you playing on a PS3?

Yeah. I know what you're thinking. I'm broke.

Levelling to 100 early would be purely to make the game harder, which I want.
Bosses scale just like enemies, but I believe you already see their last set of magics to draw and items to steal by like level 40. If you need a certain drop, mug, or drawn magic then you can (de)level enemies with gf abilities.
All enemies follow a basic algorithm for their health. Something like ENEMY LEVEL(5) + 900. So a level 1 enemy would have 905 hp. Base exp seems to follow a standard increase with every level.

That Dexter quote.
I managed to get a PSN copy of this game, but I have a problem. It won't let me load my save file. It says to change to disc 4 and I press X and it says incorrect disc, but this is the digital copy. What the fuck?
The digital version is split into discs too. Press (hold?) the PS button and choose the 4th disc from the menu.
I dont remember the exact interface, but you do have to somehow 'change discs' within the UI. I think you go the the PS Button menu and hit 'Reset'?

I don't want to use this thread for questions about orders, but I don't want to necro old threads for this issue.
Anyone in this thread have experience changing the payment method on a pre-order from Square Enix? I got an e-mail today saying that they were preparing to ship my CE of Type-0 sometime between March 2-4 and that my choice of payment would reflect the charge during that time.
Unfortunately, someone managed to get the credentials to my old credit card, which is what this order was originally tied to.
What steps do I take? In the same e-mail, there is nothing stated about changing payment/cancellations.

Ok for my ffviii playthrough challenge what I am doing is using the disc swaps as bookmarks of sorts on where and when to level.
So I must be at least 25 by end of Disc 1. For all 6 characters. 50 for disc 2. 75 for disc 3. 100 for disc 4. I got this idea from some random google search and it seems awesome to me.
- No limit breaks except maybe for those done on Aura (but maybe this is too cheap)
- No junctioning magic (junctioning GFs ok though)
- No usage of items, but ok to refine them or use for weapon remodelling
- No using GF command in battle

Brand new arranged by Masashi Hamauzu
"Blinded By Light" from FINAL FANTASY XIII
Piano: Benyamin Nuss, Violin: Hijiri Kuwano, Violincello: Yuki Takahiro
gotta do something when we aren't playing a new game
amount of questionable kingdom hearts fanart is a magnitude more
lol
p.s. the Pianoschlacht arrangement of Blinded By Light highlights exactly what I mean when I say Distant Worlds always does it like 20% too slow. More, in hindsight. Like, really.

Playing FF3 DS (Android), I opened a chest and found Sonic Knuckles.
How delightful.
How delightful.
That's a very decent price. The same (I think) CE in my country can be preordered for a whopping $110. :|
Edit: Actually its not even the CE, its the Day One edition, which I am assuming has even less stuff in it. lol

That's good to hear. Do you know what area of the game was shown?
Not sure if I should be saying anything (it's only <12 hours away anyway) but it's an event-specific demo with perma-reraise.

I'm trying to get Jump Rope King. I've only managed 104 jumps so far.

Make sure to listen to the sound of the feet hitting the floor so you know when to jump. Watching the rope is actually a fake-out.
I'm generally against drastically changing the art style of the impossible and/or inevitable FF7 remake, but Lap Pun Cheung's storyboard speedpaints manage to capture much of the original's atmosphere in a more naturalistic style, even including scenes like the parade and dolphin rescue. Though this direction is still notably more vibrant and stylised than the standardised 'realistic' S-E aesthetic.
So seriously speaking, should you just close your eyes after the first few ropes and learn how adapt 100% by sound?! 0_o I think I only ever got to 300 one time, then said "forget this!".
Never tried closing my eyes, but I know something about my technique involved timing/rhythm.....

The sound helps, but also watching the screen to know when the timing will change will work better lol
I went with sound, and also by jumping the instant Vivi hits the floor after a jump. I could never remember when the timing changed though, except once when I passed 1000. That one was yeeeeeears ago though, and I've never gotten it since.

I always found the transitions of the various artstyles in FFVII to be incredibly jarring. One moment you have field models, the next you have battle models, rarely you have FMV models which have tons of detail. I would not mind a FFVII remaster that had a consistent artstyle like the ones in your post.

People dislike the field models for VII, but I think they're rather cute.
They are, and I think it'd also be viable (from an artistic if not commercial perspective) to retain that style with more modern lighting, higher model detail and more fluid animation; giving an overall effect not dissimilar to the HD version of Wind Waker.
The flat colours and blocky limbs would also differentiate it a little more from the standard chibi style which handheld RPGs are contractually obliged to adhere to.
As a big jrpg I have realized I have never completes a final fantasy game. Played plenty but never beat any. I'll probably start with VI and IV. Think I'll be getting the PSP version of IV but I'm still undecided on VI. Portable is always better for me so I may tough out the long loading times if I get it on vita. GBA one is too expensive.

I played the playstation version a couple months back and still had a good experience. It is not unplayable by any means. Plus you get better music quality than gba.
