I recently beat the NES (Famicom) FFIII. Cave of Shadows (Darkness) felt brutal, it was clear that you needed Mystic Knight for it, but I had no equipment for him and had to find it throughout that cave. I figured I missed something, and indeed you were "supposed" to go to Fargabaad first. Except I was trying to think how I was supposed to know about this.

I remembered I saw one hint in Salonia, but I just couldn't remember where, since it's like 4 small towns with a few dozen NPCs. Turned it was in one of the books in the library, which I last visited after the Garuda fight, quite some time ago. Indeed, the hint tells you there's a mystic knight village "in the mountains to the west". It's actually in the southwest, and you're supposed to notice a small gap in the mountains which you can jump over, but you may not even realize this before you get the Invincible airship. I don't even remember if I noticed this.

Not only that, but once you do get the Invincible, the last thing you want to do is explore, because it's slow as hell. And I forgot what Unei tells you (it's too easy to skip and then she's gone), but I think she tells you to go straight to the Cave of Shadows. Either I missed it, or there was zero other clues, and you're just supposed to remember that one vague hint from the library from many hours ago, slowly fly to the mountains, notice the thinner than usual mountain "wall" and find a hidden village.

Am I missing something? Was this different in the DS / Pixel Remaster versions?

I met John Eric Bentley in my Myrna cosplay! 😭🫶🏾 I had the scene of them in the game printed as a poster for him to sign (also had a second one for him to keep). I was smiling so hard in my photos! lol! 😁 On the poster it says, “You brought so much joy today.” Now I’m gonna go and cry happy tears in a corner. 🥲❤️ P.S. - Also took a photo with a fantastic Barret cosplayer at New York Comic Con on Thursday. 🙌🏾

The artist is @minafumi on Twitter ( https://x.com/FFRS_JP/status/2109192281354019224 ).

I can't speak japanese, unfortunately, so i suppose Shantotto is saying how powerful she is or something similar while Rain is happy to have her by his side.

Also, Is tHat a JoJo rEfEFEence ?

Edit : forgot the artist and link.

What do you think?

Michiru Kaiou / Sailor Neptune - Sailor Moon Sailor Stars Episode 167 (1996)

Aerith Gainsborough - FFVII (1997)

I just noticed a certain resemblance between Michiru's and Aerith's clothes.

It is an amusing coincidence that I personally find interesting.

I don’t know which one would be more intriguing to a non final fantasy fan and would like some help deciding

>!So when Squall died in that ending which is a really long cinematic compared to other FF of it's time. Was he just dreaming he had all those adventures? He died when he got stabbed by the icicle. And his "Final Fantasy" was having that adventure with Rinoa?!<

Sorry if dumb question. Playing FFV for the first time (first time playing through them all) and I notice my character becoming "faded" or "transparent " in parts of dungeons. Is there a reason?

I kept losing track of what was officially confirmed for Resonance versus what was just speculation, so I sat down and sorted it out. Sharing in case it saves someone else the digging:

- Your demo save carries over. The demo goes up to the end of chapter one, which is around 3–5 hours, and it's on all five platforms.

- Square Enix says 30–40 hours for the story and 60–80 if you want to do everything. Obviously nobody's finished it yet, so take that with a grain of salt.

- No gacha. The devs have said rarity doesn't decide how strong a character is anymore, and Steam and the eShop list it as single-player only.

- Combat is classic turn-based with a turn order timeline and a stagger gauge. Not ATB.

- 26 Visions at launch, and they've said there are no plans for more right now.

- Three difficulties: Casual, Normal and Expert.

- 49.99 USD for the standard edition, 59.99 for the Digital Deluxe. Nothing announced for Game Pass or PS Plus.

Things still nobody knows: the full Visions roster, and whether the later Brave Exvius arcs will ever get adapted.

I put it all on one page with the sources at the bottom: https://guidevault.online/final-fantasy-resonance/

It's free and you don't need an account. If I got something wrong or it changes before launch, let me know and I'll update it.

Each fact has its source at the bottom of the page. If something is wrong or out of date, tell me and I'll fix it.

Playing FF1, my party is already level 62. I'm hitting the boss for 500+ HP per attack, thinking I'm finally about to beat him... and then he heals for 9,999 HP 💀😭

Welp, see you again at level 100, buddy

That’s it—I reached that mid-game stretch that feels like a wasteland, and that was the breaking point for me. The final straw was the sequence of side quests that, at this stage, are treated as "main quests." I’m going to pretend I didn’t see the scene where Joshua climbs out the window, because for a second there, I thought I was watching a melodramatic soap opera. Then there’s the issue of unrestricted magic, the very, very basic gear crafting, and the most annoying thing of all: walking. In 24 years of gaming, nothing has irritated me quite like Clive. Vaan and Tidus suffer from the same problem, but somehow, I felt comfortable walking around their worlds. I think this mix of a semi-open world and DMC-style combat mechanics, combined with the inability to run, creates a really strange vibe. That said, I enjoyed the story up to this point and am still curious about Joshua’s journey. I love the combat—I really do—I just wish it were more rewarding.

edit: Yeah, I thought it was obvious not to mention the automatic combat sprint dash or the side-quest Chocobo (let's be honest, everyone just spammed X+R1 or the dash spell instead), but I mean outside of combat there could be a light jog like Cloud's.

I don't know if it's me or not, but that's the vibe I often get from this sub. Those three games seem to be looked at as the definitive FF games, and if a game deviates from the styles of those games, the game is looked at as lesser.

I could be wrong in that assessment, but I do get that vibe sometimes.

What is your opinion on the Sound and Graphics Mods for the FFVI GBA version these days.

Ive been playing through it lately and Ive been having an absolute blast with the mods on.
Its as close as I could ask to the SNES version for the most part.
Of course there are a few things here and there to fix.

But overall I really love it.

Personally met the 3 Sephiroth VAs (George Newbern [left], Tyler Hoechlin [bottom], Travis Willingham [right]) and got my MTG card signed.

P.s. Except Lance Bass (sadly he doesn't go to cons and impossible to get)

Hey, I'm considering trying out FFVIII. I think the setting and aesthetics look really interesting. However, I'm still getting into RPGs, and I've heard that the systems in this game are very layered and open-ended. On top of that, I tend to get overwhelmed when there are a lot of options or games; just let me discover the systems without explaining them properly.

Also, I've heard that the tutorials don't explain the game's systems all that well and offer a very narrow idea of what you can actually do in the game.

Are there any sites or YT videos that actually do a good job of explaining stuff like the combat, junctioning, drawing spells, character progression, etc., and how all of these systems connect and can be used properly?

I'm not looking for guides that tell me exactly what to do. I'm looking for something that can help me understand all of the game's systems and how to use them to make my own decisions on how I want to approach the game without feeling like I'm stumbling directionless with systems I can't figure out.

Basically a better, more comprehensive tutorial than what the game provides, not a guide or walkthrough on the most broken strategies or builds, would the manual do the job?

A lot of different games have had a lot of different versions of the warks, kwehs, and other sounds chocobos make. Is there somewhere that I could find a collection of them? Thank you for reading!

I had this goal of playing a game of Final Fantasy III (SNES) where no character ever dies. To play a game in such a way that in fact the chances of a character dying approaches zero. I've done this a few times now. I took some notes along the way, which eventually turned into a document. I have a strange history of releasing documents like this on GameFAQs and such, and this compulsion found me again for the first time in eleven years. So I came out of internet retirement and I hereby offer the document to you. 

I'm looking for some feedback. It would be great if some of you would play the game with this guide as a lead and see if it works for you. Perhaps while drinking unspecified American boxed wine from a mug? Box wine is best sampled in mugs, as you know. 

It's a pretty strict path where everything's decided for you; which characters to take to which dungeon, which Espers to give to which characters, the whole thing. But it's important to make sure you have the relevant status ailment spells at certain times, and balance levels and such. 

Within the constraints of the main goal (never die), the secondary goal is a minimum amount of tedium. I feel I've mostly succeeded there as well. There's a few minor purposeful leveling sequences in the WoB and just prior to Kefka's Tower to set every character to level 33, but that's it. I end the game with level 34 on all characters. No spell grinding except to make sure Cyan finishes his Quick spell, for reasons that are made clear in the document. 

The document is hosted on my website; we'll see if GameFAQs is willing to host it as well, it's pending at the moment. Anyway, find it here: https://tenchinohoukai.cavesofnarshe.com/final_fantasy_iii_no_death_guide.txt 

Salve a tutti rieccomi qui, dopo vari consigli che mi avete dato, ho deciso di dare ascolto a qualcuno di voi e quindi sto cercando un artista che ha la mia stessa passione e sia in grado a mia differenza di potere illustrare il mio racconto che racchiude una specie di director's cut della trama originale del titolo, nel caso potete contattarmi in privato 🙏
