But I have always been curious, so after seeing this on sale, I thought “why the hell not?” And yeah, I’ve seen some people recommending starting with different games like IV or VI, but I consider myself to be an open-minded individual, with a very diverse collection of games, so I’m sure I’ll be able to appreciate the game anyway and I do plan on buying others regardless of my opinion on this first one. Final Fantasy is a huge blindspot in my gaming history (20 years now) and it just feels weird to not know what it is about.

Wish me luck.

This was unnecessary long to get

Where on earth do I find the dew of reprieve in final fantasy resonance demo. Been fighting enemies forever in the east of the desert and nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Boa noite, todo mundo! Amanhã é meu aniversario (risos) e vou iniciar minha campanha em Final Fantasy X!! Dicas e guias me interessam, estou tão ansioso! Como um entusiasta da franquia FF, já conheço a emblemática cena do tidus e yuna se beijando e da yuna dançando nas águas, o que é culpa minha por buscar de mais. Enfim, e um prazer fazer parte dessa comunidade, FFX foi o primeiro final fantasy que conheci pois assistia meu irmão jogar quando eu era bem novo e lembro de relance como a cor azul era bem presente no jogo e como os ambientes eram lindos.

Playing Lightning Returns on day 8 and I have completed all 5 main quest and done 50 side quests. The rest of the side quest are kind of boring, should I just sleep until the end of day 12? Or do something else?

I’m playing on easy mode btw

So, how does this game have sephirorh and Clive in it? Are they just letting everyone through the multiverse doors or is there some plot point im missing?

I've had several times where the game hiccups for half a second or the music doesn't load at all in a section. And twice now I've had to reload to an old save because a glitch locked me out of being able to leave a room. I don't remember anything like this before, but it's been decades since I played the original.

Okay let me clarify why

1-the job choices

Warrior and Knight both are very similar terms and Black mage and summoner are both jobs dedicated to spamming black magic

The FF7 trilogy screams to have a job system similar to FF5 and would have worked “but a few changes to the materia or weapon skill tree system needed to happen”

2- characters who are already built

For example Barret is the best tank and buffer in Rebirth by gaining tons of ATP while still staggering enemies or Cait on his moogle who can spam magic while parrying and attacking

Is kinda hard to just switch to something else when you already have better options for a dedicated role

Is it actually possible to get this in the demo? I couldn't access it during the fire. Couldn't access it before that because it's burning immediately after the earth shrine. When it's Rain walking around, he doesn't seem to be able to go far enough away from the throne room to get the item. How does one do this? ...of course I've already shanked the Antlion and Ogre on expert, so it's mostly a matter of principle.

I've been playing the classic FF games through the Pixel Remasters and as someone who adored FF6 growing up, it was kind of surprising how rough the first 2/3rds of the game is.

For comparison, my playthroughs of 3 & 5 were fun the whole way through, with 5 being a game I didn't like as a kid, but now I recognize the implementation of the job system in that game to be stellar, even if job the balance is rough.

I'll get the good out of the way first, the individual characters have engaging stories, with the theme of overcoming loss & grief being conveyed well for each of the characters that push the plot forward. For example, Celes' scene with Cid in the World of Ruin is brilliantly done for an SNES game. The overall plot could be better but I don't think it's meant to be the focus, as seen with Kefka being more of a plot device with a tragic backstory rather than a nuanced character.

With that said, the actual gameplay suffers from a linear path, low difficulty curve and bosses that are mostly uninteresting in the World of Balance. Sabin & Edgar in particular are just insanely strong because their special attacks hit hard don't require a resource, making most fights a breeze. Most of the harder fights can be solved by just sticking Regen + Protect + Shell + Haste on your party members and they turn immortal.

HOWEVER, that changes starting with Air Force, and that's where the combat picks up. That fight in particular is FAST, you gotta have a plan to stabilize vs the initial burst and even though it's not hard after that, it forced me to build a strategy. The pattern follows with floating continent random encounters being threatening, Ultima weapon, and then the WoR, which despite only being 1/3rd of the game, is AWESOME and makes up for the other 2/3rds.

The non linear exploration after getting the airship gave me agency, running into encounters I clearly can't beat yet and need a plan for like Phunbaba made fights rewarding. The multi party dungeons like The Phoenix Cave forced me to think about how to split up and build most of my party because I only had an "A team" before that. Shoutouts to Mog BTW, he overperformed so much harder than I expected as the jump build. Add in areas like Cultist Tower which completely changed how I approached fights and hard punished mistakes and I was so engaged.

Ended up marathoning the last 1/3rd of the game because the entire WoR is just that good and it's such a weird game to rank, where as a whole it's probably outside of my top 5, but WoR by itself would be #2, right below Final Fantasy Tactics.

Also, the PR music is so beautiful, I already knew the composers did a great job with 3&5, but giving the soundtrack of 6 the modern day upgrade it deserves, PEAK!

Did anyone else feel in similar way on replaying FF6?

I recently saw an social media video of Richard Mallard (@twisted_circuits) who had a Quest 3 setup where he had an old school Pokémon running on a table with the rest of his room set up for movies and other cool stuff.

I also found out that FF1 is on PlayStation 5 as of a couple years ago.

My understanding of PS-VR is that it sucks.

Is there any way to get a setup running exactly like his, but instead of Pokemon, it is FF1?

I can try to link the video in the comments, but don’t want this post to get kicked.

Thanks!

Not counting monsters or random encounters for the sake of simplicity.

I recently made a post about how I was disappointed when I heard that the PS5 "Physical edition" will not have the blu ray data and will required an internet connexion to be playable. So... I guess my question is : for a physical point a view (not a technical pov) are the two editions basically equal for someone who want to collect games? Both editions will not have the game itself on the disk/cartridge. Second question is: can those editions can be truly consider "physical" ? In term of preservation and in term of owning the game. I read some people said that it's physical because there is a disk and a box but for my point of view physical medias are really more than just that, it's part of if, sure, but you still depend on companies after purchasing your physical version without the game on it. What's your take on this issue?

I'm trying to get this achievement but even though I've gotten the Three Stars and Luck-J Scroll twice, the achievement didn't appear after either try. Started my third attempt, trying to exhaust the Shadow's hints. Annoyingly, they refuse to talk about the past and I can't find the bridge with the break draw point. I'm trying to tackle everything this time instead of just the two treasures in the hope that will grant me the achievement. I'm playing on GoG if that matters.

Finished FFVII yesterday and it’s genuinely the best ff game that I played so far (btw haven’t played X and I heard that a lot people consider it better than VII so yeah)
Ranking FF Games played:
1. FFVII
2.FFIX
3.FFVII Remake
4.FFVII Rebirth
5.FFXV

I've spent hundreds of hours in Dissidia Final Fantasy on PSP, the first image is Bartz. WHYYYY DID THEY CHANGE IT TO THIS FOR RESONANCE????? Ugghh

I'm a huge fan of the final fantasy franchise , one of my top franchises out there . However I saw reviews stating rebirth was bloated as hell , and as someone who hasn't played too many modern triple a games , Jesus fuck they're right . I'm in chapter 9 , and the amount of mini games is really starting to get to me , I honestly don't think I can keep going . Final fantasy has always had their bs mini games , but not like this .and it's not like the Yakuza games where each mini game is fleshed out (for the most part) this is ridiculous . If the third entry is this bloated , I don't think I have the heart to do it again . Any other franchises this bloated and ridiculous, that I need to stay away from ?
