Weekly /r/FinalFantasy Question Thread – Week of May 03, 2021

X is probably one of the longest ones to 100%. IX can be another one, although in a very different way (and without cheats, cheats of course make it a lot faster), but most others are actually quite reasonable. Glad to hear you like it anyway.

Ff13 series is pretty linear

If you mean linear with the turn-based combat, have you tried the Dragon Quest or Persona series? They're both substantially different from a tone and setting standpoint, but both series have classic and modern releases that are incredibly well-regarded, and available for a variety of systems and price points.

Simply because we've been lazy/busy and haven't updated it. We should do it though, and I'll try to find some time to do that in the near future.

General consensus is that the remastered version is the best one, and there isn't really a reason to play the others, unless they just happen to be the ones you have access to. IIRC, the original FF8 PS1 is fine, but the original FF8 PC was kind of buggy. However, I'm not even sure if that one is around that much in any format at this point - I believe the one available on Steam isn't based on the initial PC version.

The remastered version has better visuals, and adds in the ability to use boosters, I believe. The only reason not to get it is if you can't resist that temptation but know you want to play the game legit.

It is possible. They are drops from two level 60 dungeons (Pharos Sirus (Hard) and Saint Mocianne's Arboretum). The trial includes all of Heavensward so you can get to them on the free trial, but you will have to complete all of the base game's main story and the Heavensward 3.0 main story before you get there.

No, disc 3 is just the final dungeon and side quests.

I got 6 on Google Play on sale a while back. So it does happen, but probably not as often as they do on, say, Steam.

YEEEESSSSSSS idek what these other super hax0r guys are talking about but if you can get VI on a platform u have, PLAY IT!!!! it's sick. if you like VII i think you will probably really like VI; those two are tied for my fave FF games.

FF6 isn't available on Switch unless you jailbreak it to run android. You're better off getting a /

If you meant to ask about the Steam version, then no I wouldn't recommend paying the $10. The graphics and user interface were completely redone for phones, and it ruins the aesthetic of the original. That said, there is a mod that supposedly restores the original graphics and UI but I've never tried it myself.

As far as I know Dirge of Cerberus only released on PS2 and Crisis Core only released on PSP.

Unfortunately the butthole to bussy method would be your only option.

i can kerjiggerify windows xp through my ps4s butthole into my PS3's quantum bussy port to emulate the source code of a PSP's phat juicy datastream,

First off, boy that's a brand new sentence.

Second, if you're willing to wait and have a good enough phone to run it, Ever Crisis is going to not just cover FF7, but Crisis Core and Dirge as well.

What game are you speaking of 14?

The token is a one time password system that is connected to your SE account. At some point you enabled it, I use the token app on my phone for mine but that other ways. You’d have to contact CS to get it removed and access your account without it

If you want to do everything, you will need a guide in most FF's. Most of the side content in FF is nothing major though, you'd at most miss out on some items etc, nothing major in terms of story for an example. A few of the items (enemy skill materia in particular) are quite useful though, so if you hate missing useful stuff, a guide is a decent option.

Edit: as the other user said, I forgot about the missable characters in VII.

What Miku25 says is correct but I'd like to add that VII has 2 missable characters so I suggest you at least use a walkthrough to obtain them.

Where are you looking? on steam? also there's no version of 3 with any awesome 16 bit graphics.

Most of the games aren't too grindy. There might be some grinding but generally it's not an issue.

Unless you plan on playing the original NES releases of I, II, and III. Those games are very grindy if I remember correctly. It's been a while since I played them.

I'd recommend playing without mods. Can't comment on 1-3, but the rest are fairly easy games and should be experienced as they were intended to be at least once.

IX is a slower game than some of the other FF's. I wouldn't say there's a single point which will change everything for you, but if you give it time it might surprise you. There's a reason it's one of the most highly regarded FF's after all.

That being said, even though IX is my personal favorite, I do understand it's not for everyone. If you aren't determined to try to like it, or have some gripes with the game that are unlikely to go away, just play something you enjoy instead. Gaming's supposed to be fun after all, and not everyone likes the same things.
