Going armiger mode only to have all three bros die and waste precious armiger time on their potion use

Battle themes would be cool if you could actually queue them up for battle. Taking on a horde of magitek troopers to Liberi Fatali is a distant dream.

Your fault for buying an MP3 player instead of something like a smartphone app that could use the smartphone gyro to tell if you're in battle or something and switch music accordingly.

I had a question about chapter 4

I'm about to head to the disc. The game not-so-subtly names it a point of no return. I have like a handful of high level sidemissions left. Will the area be unavailable for me once I get to the disc?

No, the game phrases this rather awkwardly. You can return to earlier parts of the world, it just means you are entering a linear bit of story content, and all side quests remain available after you finish the story bit you have started.

I just realized something they could've fairly easily done, but didn't for some reason...

Ability to
add all guest characters to the party in post game. They are all alive, I did not find any significant side quests tied to either of them, and for whatever things they don't have comments for them, they could just stay quiet.


UPD; Not simultaniously, obviously.

Aranea shows up, but it'd be nice to have Iris and Cor show up on occasion too. I suspect that decision may have honestly been tied to the fact that Aranea can easily show up via her airship whereas Iris/Cor would have to just sort of spawn out of nowhere.
 
ive no idea how battling works on this game, against creatures around my level I'm not to bad just warping/attacking/blocking, but those Magitek soldiers with guns destroy my guys really quickly and I end up using loads of potions and the like just to keep going. Am I supposed to be ignoring them?

I assume the MP3 players doesn't work while in battles, right?

It doesn't while riding Chocobos atleast. Wish it did, or atleast we could mute the track, already tired of it lol
Click to expand...

Nope, sure doesn't. Imagine my disappointment when the chanting kicked in only to be replaced by the usual battle theme as soon as the enemy's boots hit the ground.

I'm almost tired of the Chocobo track. Almost.
 
This game has the best Tonberries in any FF.


They have also been my toughest boss fight so far.

I hate VIII but you should eventually play it for how iconic some pieces of it are for JRPGs. X I feel is legitimately in the upper echelon of the series despite having a horrible main character. Auron might be the coolest character in the series.

And it's a Creative Zen MP3 player which is like, Noctis, come on. Do some research at least.

While VII is by no means my favorite, I wouldn't put it next to VIII and X =P.

Sometimes, it's just not worth seeing when and how something crashed and burned.

Stop being ridiculous, VIII and X in no way crashed and burned. And even if you don't like VIII it's worth playing for the soundtrack alone

It actually has the best main character in the series in Yuna ;)

Or, you know, they can just drive with me. Like, I'd be fine with having to physically pick Iris up, but then, she's perfectly capable of being in the car.
 
Disc 1 of FFVIII is substantially leagues above the rest of the game.

Still a great RPG though. It has similar problems to this game, actually
weird last minute info dumps (orphanage twist) and poor treatment of side characters (Selphie and Zell barely do anything)

And the draw/junction system was bad. But that's subjective opinion
 
From the start of VIII up until the end of the gardens battle (I think the end of disk 2) was probably the most I've ever been blown away by a game. Can't be denied that it drops off after that though, the orphanage is ridiculous and I don't particularly like Esthar, but it will always be my favorite in the series, just ahead of 6,9 and 10

Worse than those is level scaling. That's the reason the junction system is broken, because you can just run away from battles, leaving enemy stats low as fuck, all the while you continue to draw more powerful magic that you can junction to turn your characters into low-level gods.
 
My opinion of the FF games is there's basically the top tier of VII and IX, then the secondary tier with VI, Tactics, VIII, and X, and then the rest of them underneath that, except the MMOs which I haven't played.

I'm enjoying XV so far so I hope it can join that secondary tier. I don't expect it to join VII and IX in my mind though.
 
Perfo said:
Absolutely. Also a step in the right direction by leaving behind the jpop theme songs featured in previous entries and spinoffs. This game is doing so many things right and the paradox here is that the meh-things are all the left over from the Versus XIII project, see the main character design for example. I'm really curious about FFXVI now that they can build it from the sctatch.
Click to expand...
But Noctis is probably the best character design in the entire series. :(

Hentailover said:
New Game + implies ability to restart the game with most if not all of your stuff and possibly with scaled up enemy encounters.

That's not in the game. Ability to do continue playing in open world after the finale however is already in the game.

Okay, thanks!
 
I don't think there's any FF you should just skip, especially once you play a lot of them. At least for me it was really cool to see the evolution of the series and I think almost all of them have something to offer players. Obviously there are ones that should probably be played after you get through some of the better ones, though. FF1-3 haven't aged the best, but that's to be expected, really. They're not bad, though.

Personally my FF rankings go:

1. FF7
2. FF8
3. FF9
4. FF11
5. FF6
6. FF12
7. FF13
8. FF10
9. FF4
10. FF5
11. FF15 (30 hours in)
12. FF2
13. FF3
14. FF1

I wish I had the time to play them all, the only ones I've played are:

V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII very briefly, XIII, Lightning Returns, XIV and XV

I'd say:

VII
VX
X
XIV
VIII
IX
V
Lightning Returns/XIII

Not including XI and XII because I didn't play them enough to assess. I really do need to play 4 and 6 at some point though.

I enjoyed them all for various reasons. I didn't really have an issue with 13 as I liked the combat a lot, I can't remember a thing about the story though. Same with LR.
 
I'm experiencing a lot of glitching in Costlemark Tower. The camera just seems to randomly become unresponsive. Is this why people are saying it's difficult? lol

Maybe I should reload...

I think it's just pretty bad there.

Some have said setting the camera to the closest option in settings helps a bit.

Ended up having to reload. I was in a circular room with the camera stuck directly above Noct's head, and the only way out was through a door I couldn't select. -_-

That's the first time the game's really gotten glitchy on me, aside from one time when Gladio became transparent for a little bit. lol
 
Kinda takes the piss when you spend all ingame day climbing a mountain to take a photo only to be told it's slightly too nighttime when you get to the summit.

No way to move time forward either so all I can do is wait 20 minutes irl for day time again...
 
Wouldn't be a FF thread without rankings, but they're fun

1. VII
2. VI
3. IX
4. XV
5. IV
6. XII
7. V
8. X
9. VIII
10. III
11. I
12. XIII
13. II

I don't play MMOs, so can't rank XI and XIV. I actually like X-2 more than X, but I don't know how to place it.
