Final Fantasy VIII
Noice
What a find!
Also, the characters are looking a bit different lol (some still look pretty cool imo)
Glad you're liking it!
Welcome welcome!!!
FFIX is one of the best. Hope you have fun with it! Any questions, just ask!
The main reason people disliked it was because of how linear it was. You can only move forward, no where else, etc etc. Even tho FFX isn't too different in that aspect... Anyway.
My Game Design teacher also really didn't like how you'll have tutorials still much later in the game, but like... Sir, those tutorials are there because sometimes new has been unlocked??? Uhm, idk, I get not wanting to introduce something new much later one, but also, we're not adding a battle mechanic, we're adding an exploration one.... Idk, that one always sat weong with me lol
Either way, I can't give much of an opinion on the game as I never played, only watched its story, and on that aslect I can say it's great. I truly love the story and highly recommend knowing it.
Never played the game either (not an MMO kinda person), but I remember Shiva from Record Keeper, she was visible in some Soul Breaks. Plus, I've always liked Shiva. So I'm going with her.
Oh, I remember reading about their cameo in their pages.
Fun!
So, in FFII Minwu sacrifices himself to break the seal on Ultima. And in Soul of Rebirth, the previous party members retain what they had.
So, does that mean that technically you could have two Ultima spells while playing Soul of Rebirth, if you give the Ultima spell to Ricard? Or is he like, unable to learn it by default?
It would kinda take away Minwu's whole sacrifice if Ricard was the one with the spell. Would also contradict his own dialogue upon meeting Minwu in the afterlife lol.
Who knows. Maybe.
Prequels seem to do fairly well. Look at Stranger of Paradise and Crisis Core.
Tbh, I think the FFXIII were somewhat doomed from the start, as the very game is, well... complicated. But the others I think it's actually mostly a console issue? Like, Dirge of Cerberus was only for Ps2, it never got ported anywhere else. I'm still super glad I own it and it's one of my top 1 games no doubt. FFXII Revenant Wings is DS, whose games from there aren't that popular as far as I know; only the two mainline ones, I believe, and that might be because those are Remakes. On that note, The After Years I think it's on both GBA and DS? Idk for sure, but many people probably barely heard of it (I know it took me a while to discover its existence), and if they played, they don't prounounce themselves much about it.
FFX-2 is the first and most popular and known one, but people don't like it and I'll never understand why, because apparently it was a huge success back in the day or something. I would say that selling it alongside FFX on more recent consoles is a smart strategy, though I wouldn't know for sure. Its system is one of my favorites ever and it just has an overall fun vibe. I really don't understand why people dislike it.
But yeah, for some of them I'd say it's a console and availability issue mostly. I could be wrong, however.
I'm actually playing FFXII Revenant Wings rn (actually, I've only had time to do the tutorial so far. But I can't wait to get to the rest of the game). I had already watched a playthrough of it before and overall seemed pretty fun and cool. All sequels did (I just haven't seen TAY and any related to spin-offs)
Idk, maybe it's me. I just don't really see what's the problem with the games lol
FR!
So true. But then again, Laguna can't understand him, Kiros has to be the translator 😒
Laguna just ain't that great of a friend.
YYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!
As long as it's something more like FFIV 3D Remake, mostly the part of adding some small visual to the villain's backstory and stuff, expand some small story bits, and not like FFVII Remake.
KUJA ART!!! YEAHHHH
Also, is it bad that I actually wasn't looking forward to the animated series? Idk, something about it felt wrong to me.
And OMG THE STUFF ON THAT WEBSITE! Man, I wish I had money...
I get what your saying.
Tho personally I like his role in FFIX. In FFVI, what he does is achieved by Shadow. They both work as a contrast to the party. Where everyone is optimistic and upbeat, ready to save the world, they are more serious and edgy, more cynical.
But then again, FFVI and FFIX are somewhat similar in a way, I'd say, so no surprise tbh.
As in a scene with a summon? Or the cutscene that plays when you summon?
If it's the first, then FFIX, Battle of the Iifa Tree, with Bahamut.
For the second, gotta go with Shiva from FFX. I love that intro so much.
Hey there
It is called FFXIV Online, so I'm pretty sure it is, yes.
I'd say the best distraction minigame in FFIX was the Chocobo Hot & Cold tbh
We don't care about the gender.
Whichever works. We're not picky.
Para-magic is being able to use magic without being a sorceress.
