Topic: Final fantasy discussion thread

@FullbringIchigo I disagree profusely. The game is one big corridor literally in almost every instance.

FFX does the corridor thing well, as it has content and secrets in its areas and npcs. FFXIII has none of that.

@themcnoisy yeah but you was on the run and being hunted why would you be hanging around in a town when every person want's you dead

for the story the game was trying to tell it makes sense to not be hanging around looking in shops and talking to NPC's i guess the whole issue is if the story and characters interested you or not because that's pretty much what FFXIII was built around

on a side note FFXIII had plenty of secrets although they mostly ended up leading you to treasure chests, it's when you got to Pulse where the game really opened up and introduced all the side quests and stuff, the Titans Trials were pretty good and some of the hunts were really hard and don't get me talking about trying to beat and Adamantoise those things were hard, they could wipe out your party in one move

@FullbringIchigo I said the same in comment #2019

'The post game hunts are fantastic and this is where the game really shines. The trials of Titan again wonderful. It just takes 60 hours to get there.'

As I mentioned in the same comment Ff13 is very good. I would give it maybe 8/10 as a stand alone game but 6/10 as a Final Fantasy game. Too much is stripped out to score it better, FF13-2 was more of a JRPG and bar the stupid story and weak characters a better game.

I'm restarting FF 12 tomorrow as I have a random Friday off work.

@themcnoisy which version of XII you playing, the original, the PS4 Zodiac Age or the Switch/XB1 Zodiac Age

@FullbringIchigo the PS4 zodiac age!

@themcnoisy i just finished my play through of that one but i'm thinking of doing the Switch version as it has the ability to not only change jobs but also have 3 gambit set ups

why they never patched them in the PS4 version i'll never know but they didn't

@FullbringIchigo It will be my last ever run on ff12. Pretty much done with ff5-ff13 after this, unlikely to play any of the legacy games again as much as I love them. Recently played the nes mini version of ff1 again, it's a bit too long in the tooth so I won't replay the other nes ones.

FF4 is on my Vita downloaded, so That will likely be my last legacy FF. Then it all about the FF7 remake and another run through FF15 with all the additional content.

Just not enough time. Ff12 - 7 remake - FF4 - FF15... Wait for Ff16.

I'm pretty excited to go back to 12 with the extra bells and whistles the remake affords. Does it have an option to speed up the license board, infinite monet or other cheats like the ff7, 8 and 9 remakes?

@themcnoisy I’d never say I wouldn’t play some of the older FF games again. Frankly 7 and 9 are a pleasure to play so it’s not about having to force to make time for them etc.

@themcnoisy it has the option to speed up game play and that's it, if you want to do everything else then you actually have to play the game, no cheats

although if you use the trial mode you can transfer the Licence Points you earn from it to you main game so you can build up points quickly

@KratosMD buy 012 and ignore the first game as 012 has the entirety of the first game in it anyway

@KratosMD it is difficult if you go in blind but if you put the time in you can overcome that but i would say get both as they are completely different games and offer different experiences

so my PSP screen is going a bit, funny, i'm not sure how to explain it but it's like it has a ring or something on the screen, it looks like a water mark on a piece of paper

anyway long story short my Brother gave me a PSN gift card for xmas so i decided to buy the digital version of Dissidia 012 as it's on sale so i can play it on my Vita BUT it means i have to start again

unless anyone knows how to transfer PSP save to Vita?

anyway now i just have to figure out what i'm going to do about Crisis Core as that NEVER got a digital release, of course i do have a PSP to TV cable somewhere so if push came to shove i could use that and play my PSP through my TV

anyway did anyone get any FINAL FANTASY related gifts for Xmas?

@FullbringIchigo Same thing happened to my PSP screen, it's covered in these strange blotches.

Do you have a PS3? What I've done in the past is copy saves from the PSP to the PS3 using the PS3's USB charge cable and then from the PS3 to the Vita.

@mookysam i do have a PS3 so i will try that, thanks

also if the same thing happened to your PSP i wonder if it's a common issue?

After the delay of Cyberpunk 2077, I'm now gonna pre order FF7 Remake. Woop woop, all aboard the hype train.

@JohnnyShoulder This hype train can only go where its tracks take it...

@kyleforrester87 is that a reference from something? If so, it's gone well over my head! 😂

I've just noticed it is released on Good Friday here in the UK, which is a bank holiday and the following Monday is too. This might have to be a digital purchase.

@JohnnyShoulder

Alright, it says rails, I say tracks. Although I did think it was tracks... Hmmm....

@kyleforrester87 Yeah cos I totally would have got it if you had said 'tracks'... not.

@KratosMD i would suggest getting your characters then heading for the end game, the Dragons are optional if i remember correctly
