I've been waiting for patches and the Berlin campaign.
I had it back on 5 and 1/4 floppy disks. Didn't it also come with a little text/code book where you had to read paragraphs of journal entries in a physical book when they were referenced in-game?
The PS1 version has an easy mode that increases the amount of XP and gold you get. I don't think it weakens monsters in any way. It also has a sprint button and improved visuals.
That sounds like A Thing That Would Be Done. "Quote this part of the manual" was a very popular anti-piracy technique. My favourite old-timey bit of copy protection was definitely the cipher wheel, though.
I beg to differ. Then again, we have very different tastes.

The cipher wheels for the old AD&D Gold box games were the worst. Especially trying to figure out similar looking runes on an Apple II with poor resolution.

Amen to this. I'm finally almost done with my backlog, and I owe it all to the release slowdown that comes with the new consoles.
Uncharted and a new Tales for PS4, now I got to get this thing.I thought this was the RPG thread, not the rain on others' parade thread?
I'm pretty excited for Tales on PS4. Seems like Japan devs are in for PS4 so we're going to see some good stuff for next gen.
I'm in (KH3 + FF15 too)! But aren't we talking 2015 or later? I don't need to be in right this moment.
I really liked the game back when I played it on the PS1, and it looked super awesome for its time. I think some people complain about the game's difficulty, but I didn't really have much trouble, just make sure you make and upgrade 2-3 weapons with varying types so you can swap if a boss is super resistant against your weapon type. I've actually been meaning to play it and Chrono Cross again at some point, but lately I've been focused on games I have in my backlog that I haven't finished yet.
The opening dungeon is a bit grimy but it's a great game. Not long either, maybe 12 hours. Somewhat complicated weapon customization, combat is like a muscle memory QTE sort of thing (honestly takes getting used to if you play on an HD tv with delay), good story with very nicely styled in-game cutscenes (I think they outclass MGS's). It's also only 5.99 on the PS store if that's an option for you.
I actually just ended up getting a like new copy of it for $14 on Amazon Warehouse Deals (I like owning my Squaresoft games physically for some reason). I'll probably start playing it once it arrives and hope that I end up completing it before the 26th (since Ys is finally coming out)
Wait, what?! Physical copies can be had for that cheap now?
Amazon currently has some like new copies for only $14.20 right now, I would try to snag one if I were you. I've never seen them this cheap before and the trade value is actually higher than what they are selling it for
Hah, wow, you aren't kidding.
?
It's Vita compatible, I believe.
ing ageless. Got Balthier w/gun, Penelo w/broadaxe, and Ashe w/sword&shield. Larsa tossing hi-potions kind of breaks the game though, lol.There isn't any overworld, the entire game save the first tutorial mission take place inside of a sealed and deserted city called Leá Monde. There are other groups inside the city that you interact with, and there is a decent amount of story that moves the game along. But outside of those story sequences and upgrading your equipment the game is basically pure dungeon crawling.
The best character in FF12?
FF12 is going to look so goddamn good when it gets its inevitable (please please please) HD re-release.All of this game's dialogue is superb, and the graphics are
They recycle so much damn content from X that it just comes off as really lazy(a example of this is Lulu who apparently is 9 months pregnant is able to hide her bump with her corset)A few hours into X-2, don't think I can defend this game much. Feels low budget, has framerate issues, lazy cutscenes, and it's 10x cornier than FFX which has to be some kind of record. The game's entire appeal really is those damn dress spheres, and to their credit, they're pretty awesome. I'm beginning to skip the less important cutscenes so I can just grind out some fun. Think I'll put it down for later.
Instead I'll be resuming XII, where I'm currently at one of my favorite parts with the Jahara and Fran's side arc with her people. All of this game's dialogue is superb, and the graphics are
On the Vita. Por favor. The best FF since IX.
Don't you be talking bad about IX. Them's fighting words!
This is technically correct.
Well, the way he worded it, it merely says that XII is better than X and X-2. I'm not sure about X-2, but I can agree with him that XII is better than X. :lol:
Obviously, personal tastes and all that junk..
