I think it’s called Lunear Subterranean or something like that. That place has some tough enemies, doesn’t it? I specifically mean the ones that are guarding strong weapons/items and are- I assume- optional.

It’s definitely been doable. I’m making progress but slow. Sometimes I don’t play much, so it’s been a few days since I started that dungeon and I’m currently about 7 floors in. Trying to get all weapons and armor.

Did it also take a bit of time for you to complete it?

Just for context, my parties are in their 50-55 in terms of level. I have some powerful summons for Rydia like Leviathan and Bahamut. Also picked up the sword Ragnarok.

I was planning on playing them both on the PlayStation Deluxe subscription but apparently they will both be leaving the service next month. Which should I try to beat before they leave the service?

A number of FF games in the series use computer controlled/AI party members. Among them, which games do you think implemented them well?

Off the top of my head, FF games that had computer controlled party members

Final Fantasy Adventure: Not a true "FF" game since its actually the first game in the Mana series. But in the US, it was given the FF name and it recycles a LOT of the graphical resources from FF1 and 2. Its probably the earliest Square game (before merger) that had a computer controlled teammate. It was basic but worked well.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: Your other ally could be controlled by the computer/AI, but from what I remember, all they did was attack.

Final Fantasy Tactics: You occasionally had guest characters that were Ai controlled.

FF7: Sephiroth was controlled by the computer. but you dont have him for long

FF12: I love the gambit system, and you basically can make a long list of programs that prioritize what type of actions the AI should do. It was fun since you could totally automate some battles, like in the mines with those slime monsters. It might have made the game too easy though

FF13: Paradigm shift was introduced, it took a while but I felt it added an interesting change and depth to battles.

FF15: AI controls the other three members. I thought it was done well

FF16: Although I just finished the game last summer, I couldnt really remember how well the AI party member controlled.. other than that Torgal would only heal me for 2hp.

FF7R: While I prefer the turn based FF games, among the action oriented ones, I like Rebirth's system a lot as it merges both menu based combat and action. In some ways it reminds me of a modern day Secret of Mana. the AI party members seem to be good at avoiding damage while killing off the other enemies you are not focusing on.

Disc 2 installed, said was complete. Played for an hour and was right in the middle of a cutscene and it pops up saying Please wait while game is installed. 80% installed… is this a faulty disc or can I just reinstall? How does one get a disc replacement

Just finished FF7 REMAKE (i got it from the PS PLUS) and I like it it was good and i want to BUY FF7 Rebirth but I'm wondering is it padded like ff7 remake or it's way better? cuz im afraid to spend about 50 bucks and the padding in FF7 made me feel bored sometimes And how about the side quests in the Remake I couldn't play them they were awful.

Is the Machinist worth investing time into? Currently leveling up the BLM and SAM, just started Heavensward today. (Blm lvl 56) (Sam lvl 56)

Hello,

I would like to know if I'm the only one who play the game since the first day and still have a long journey?

I just finished Cosmo Canyon region after playing for 60 hours. I play like 15 hours per week (I'm a not hard gamer even if FF7 is my favorite game).

I think I'm doing it wrong cause normally it's on the second time playing the game that we take all the time to accomplish everything well.

Of all the action games in recent memory, ffxvi and 7 remakes have the most visual noise during combat.

The smaller enemies in particular just seem to blend into the environment too well. When mixed in with all the visual noise, it’s just that much harder to see where they’re zipping around.

I’m really early in and this gripe of mine was exacerbated after a particular hunt in junon

Anyone else have this problem?

Confession:

Over 20 years ago, I played my first FF game. That was FF8 Demo for PC. I was astonished, and I knew nothing about Final Fantasy at the time. I even thought that all games are connected. And that characters were recurring in all those games.

That is why by checking some random artwork I found of FF7 and FF8, I thought that Zell and Cloud are the same person. I didn't even know that his name was Cloud, I found a guy on a bike with spikey hair and I automatically assumed that he was Zell in FF7.

Same thing I thought for the case of Tifa and Rinoa, based on the artworks I found most similar. I kept wondering about the rest of the characters. I guess I thought that that Selphie is Aerith as well based on hair color. And I assume I would have thought Barret is Raijin, but I didn't see Raijin in the demo, so I didn't know him at the time.
Thankfully, I knew the truth quickly and I became a fan of the series and compensated for those delusions by playing all the games I have missed back then.

I wonder if anyone thought something similar to that like me back in the day. Or was I the only one who had that weird thinking?

I can’t help but compare it to frutiger aero. Maybe im wrong and just have a bad eye for aesthetics, but the game invokes the feeling of a digital dreamlike ecstasy that’s pretty prominent in the FA wave going on right now.

Its fucking Red....RED!!....Seriously?? Guess I gotta start all over from the very beginning. I am not continuing with it being Red. I refuse.

Just a quick edit...this IS the 2nd date...my first was Tifa....

In the moonlight the willow sways

On this roadside I am but a stone

Visions of you come to me

Like counting sheep

If there is any meaning to our parting ways

Then you need not be sad

From the silence to a distant sky

Fill your heart with an unwavering love

No matter what night

No matter the cost

Haven't we been living this life together

As if in the blink of an eye

I was yearning for something Gazing at the moon

I was so afraid of the storm, when you appeared before me

And I'm so glad that it was you

It's as if nothing before this moment ever mattered

This flame will never go out

Ever

If the wind knocks on your window

Leave it ever so slightly ajar

There's only, yes, there's only one

An unutterable voice screaming out

Were we to be reborn

Unable to remember

Somehow I know I'd still find you

I was burning everything Gazing at the moon

Even though I might have been pitied for it

I was happy as long as you were there

Even though we might have been wrong about so much

We will never disappear

Call my name Just one more time

With that soft voice which envelops me so gently

Guided by the moonlight, I seized a branch

And that branch was you

It was you

I was yearning for something Gazing at the moon

I was so afraid of the storm, when you appeared before me

And I'm so glad that it was you

It's as if nothing before this moment ever mattered

This flame will never go out

Ever

Auron's story along with what we saw in Zanarkand made me reach that conclusion. You're supposed to have started a huge pilgrimage that crossed most of Spira. You are tired with little to no supplies and on top of that you have to fight Sin. Your summoner dies along with one of her guardians (I suppose the fayth is a guardian because he must be brought to face Yunalesca). So unless you have more than one guardian, the guardian dies too. If you have a second or a third (and Yuna seems like to have way more than the usual) then these guardians have to go all the way back to a city. Even when Sin was defeated in Calm Lands, how close would a city or an inn be? Wouldn't the guardian be hurt no matter what? Because we keep on talking (I mean the game characters) about a summoner's sacrifice but the guardian's sacrifice is of equal importance.

Furthermore, if guardians had survived wouldn't they have spread the word of what a final summoning truly is? And if the guardians do die how people knew that Sin was dead? Was it always that phantasmagoric as in FFX's end?

I can't imagine we'll get nothing in the next 3 years between R Part2 and R Part 3.

Personally I'm predicting we get a Dirge of Cerberus remaster ala Crisis Core Reunion as well as a FF13 trilogy port to modern consoles.

In terms of hopes - I'm really hoping we get a port of the Japanese remake of Final Fantasy Legends 3. I loved the original as a kid and would love to experience it again in a modern engine. I'd also like to see the forever discussed FF IX remake as well but both of these feel like long shots.

In terms of non FF games I'm also hoping we finally get a decent remaster of Chrono Trigger as well.

So a couple weeks ago I found FFX/X-2 remaster discounted and decided to play it again. I am now in the calm lands and I came to think that the plot is 90% like Grandia 2. G2 is one of my favourite JRPGs of all time (and tops FFX imo), and I remember the story very well. They are really similar. I found it funny. Do some FFs you have played remind you of other games or stories? And don't say the tedoius FF12 is Star wars because we all know the Star wars FF is actually 2 and we are tired to hear it 🤣

From the get-go the battle system had taken a couple hours for me to learn to enjoy alongside the Crystarium, so they didn’t take long to love and it’s the main reason I continue to play the game. The story however, like most people think, is mostly confusing crap, which is what made me put down the game in many instances, especially having to listen to Vanille.

I’m happy to say that the game as a whole is beginning to grow on me, which is so surprising.
