lol yeah I never understood the hate. It was awkward but it was supposed to be awkward and I think they portrayed that pretty well. I always thought it was a pretty cute scene.

I have confidence in the writing of XV because it's not based on a story that should have ended like twice already. Honestly if it's at least comprehensible and doesn't have all the backstory and world-building in data logs then it is automatically better than anything in the XIII saga.

Why does this game look so ...dark? Like it has crushed blacks (ps3) every other game looks fine so I know it's not my tv settings

Yeah when I got to this scene, it made a lot more sense and was a less dumb seeming. I'm questioning why it was ever a meme.

Then there's 3 you can't get from them, Jump, Nova, and Bad Breath. Checked my guide, Bad Breath isn't mentioned as one you can get
XJF

Just checked both. Bad Breath is not mentioned. Is there a way to spoiler tag pics? If so, I'll post the pics. I checked the battle strategy section and the bestiary.

I really wish there were some enhancements to gameplay, like there are in Persona 4 Golden. I got really spoiled with the Rush option from P4G, wish that was in the remastered FFX so I did not have to keep mashing X. A save anywhere functionality might have been nice, too.
And no skipping cutscenes is beyond stupid.

Skipping scenes was in Vanilla X-2, not sure why they didn't think to incorporate it into X HD
I meant I checked both guides as I have both. But, in any respect, the PS2 guide should still suffice, it just wouldn't include Dark Aeons and Penance.
Yes, I'm using a Haunter card as a bookmark, shut up XD

It is weird. Everything feels the same (which is mostly good) in my new playthrough of FFX, besides the face on Tidus and the strangely OK alterations to the soundtrack. I mean, the original soundtrack is etched into my brain. Seems like others are of a similar option in that the music changes are neither good or bad.
Still unsure if I made a wise choice picking the expert sphere grid. It does indeed feel a bit gimped at the start.
I just don't really trust Amazon in general for game releases, and this is why.
Unfortunately since it only came out today in the UK I can't really confirm whether it still works.
I didn't think they'd go to the trouble of fixing the flawed AI though. I'll have to see myself when I get there. Dunno how long it'll take with Infamous also coming out today(and MGSV:GZ but I don't plan on playing that just yet).

I went Standard SG. Never had a problem before, not gonna change now lol
What is up with this huge difficulty spike after the Blitzball game, geez.
Tidus is,
extremely obviously, not wanting to do it and forces himself to smile and laugh. It's supposed to be fake and awkward as hell, before it he had to force his lips up with his hand to smile.
Yeah, I never knew the context behind it, so it makes sense now.

Nice bookmark lmao
Good to know international edition just added Dark Aeons and that. Wasn't sure if I was missing anything using my PS2 guide (Got the collector's edition X-2 guide, so I hope that one is similar as well.)

I have 2 classic X-2 guides, dont ask. Didn't know there was a Collectors Edition X-2 guide?

This one? i've never seen this before... son of a bitch..
Definitely there's a degree of atmosphere in X that is severely lacking in XIII.

Because ignorant people like to hate on games without ever playing them or knowing context for scenes.

I may end up getting one lol I have a LE XII guide as well. Mine was the Basch one. I never liked him... Really wanted Ashe's

I have tried to replay this a few times over the past few years using pcsx, but never could recapture the commitment I had when it first cam out. But on the vita it looks so good and is so immediately accessible, that I am finding it difficult to put down. I have Infamous waiting for me, but Spira just seems more important than Seattle.
With that said - Fuck the Goers. I spent my entire lunch hour on that one game and couldn't get the win. The cutscenes and lack of meaningful rewards finally just sapped my will to try yet again. I seem to remember that everything opens up a lot more from this point onwards.

Same here. Everytime I play it I am in complete awe that I'm able to play this on a handheld. 9 hours in so far. You'd think I would have gotten over it by now but nope lol

Always loved that art, probably the booty shorts. lolYeah I got that one too.. really wanted Ashe's as well.
My X-2 guide hasin it. Not sure if there was any different ones though
Why wouldn't she? Lulu's Magic is 44 and Yuna's is 52
Yeah I love that image, totally not for that reason..
I've pulled out my X-2 and XII guides and the one thing I've noticed is how new these looks. Like I just bought 'em. I either take REALLY good care of my guides or this is the first time I've ever used them.. lmao
Also is it not worth making Yuna a black mage then? I was thinking I could make her a hybrid (not that far in yet and dont know what is possible with expert yet)

Teach Wakka the "Distill Ability" skill on his grid. It's a life saver.
If you haven't learned the Extract Ability skill in Wakka's section, you'll have to wait for Mi'ihen for more.
The upcoming boss's tentacles drop them as well. Overkill them and you'll receive bonus Spheres.

Haha. That weapoon is like 100K. I'm broke, I just bought Yojimbo for like 200K
You can't start collecting those until a certain part in the game. It's explicitly mentioned, so you'll know

i always leave one of everything, for instances such as this. Assumed some people had similar thoughts.

What are the best grind spots early game? I look to be OP in RPGs, and now that I won't have my PS2 gameshark, I will need all the additional help I can get haha.
