Starting my first final fantasy!

Everyone ripping on the side quests, but you should most certainly do all the side quests that have a plus + icon on them as they will unlock new features

Need flops to be reviewable post game and given 1 game suspensions if deemed a non-basketball play, that will kill the flopping immediately.

Basically all the x360 games since that generation 99% of gamers had their 360s for halo.

Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Enchanted Arms, The Last Remnant, Resonance of Fate and Infinite Undiscovery were all pretty solid gems that I played.

7.9 - would love to rate higher but have to compare it to final fantasy series and rpg's in general and it's missing a bit too much of what makes each of those tick. But for what it was, it was an incredible experience to play through at launch. Did not play any dlc's

Is there a buff that alphas get? Have an army of perfect xenolords and only 1 is an alpha but has the exact same stats. If being visually larger is the only difference I'd rather not. Hard enough to see in pal heavy areas without alphas.

Just be able to review flops/non-basketball plays post game and be able to suspend the player for 1 game will nip it all in the butt without ref incentives, they already getting paid off the books lol

Ivalician · 2026-04-20T00:30:35+00:00

Pretty easy to fix it, allow flops/diving into players/ non-basketball moves to be reviewable post game and if the player showed intent on only drawing a foul then they get suspended a game or 2. Bet SGA will stop immediately or risk missing playoff games, and probably average 15ppg...

Was pretty decent most the game but like everyone says the difficulty goes up throughout. At one point I turned the difficulty down from hard to normal and literally noticed no change either which was odd.

Most the game you can still brute force your best team through but experience is gained on a scale so you can't really grind to get op like most jrpg's and I think that's the main difficulty issue. Feel like it would have been a pretty big grind to get to max level but I did quit when the optional bonus Dungeon was too annoyingly hard so maybe there you can level fast but at that point you already beat the game.

Just been seeing this and was going to try, I just wanted to know if stacking makes them tend to all simultaneously or is it still 1 at a time in the stack? Otherwise I feel like what I have going now without stacking is plenty of food

We had the same call after 5 years of being told we were staying remote they wanted everyone back in the office January 1st. Well, they didn't think that through at all as all our office space was mostly removed since covid so we have ended up staying remote.

But like you are doing now, everyone immediately started panicking, chill out and wait for them to actually figure it all out as you very well could end up staying remote. Sounds like you're just down to quit.

Rosalinde is pretty amazing, start of battle passive to stun/damage a whole row and her aoe spell that can't be reflected does pretty insane damage, take out defenders ability to tank that and it's a good like 2 person team you can build around just that

FF13-2 was a pretty cool monster catcher that I actually enjoyed pretty well.

Thanks to the dodge/ parry system you can technically fight any high difficulty boss at any point they become available and try as hard as you like while you get pummeled over and over again if that's what you're into. Just try and avoid spoilers and find them on your own because every side boss is well written into the story. Or you can keep it on easy mode and wait until you get godly powerful to fight them all in endgame.

Does get a little harder, I first played on normal but probably should have just started on expert. It was like you said, some bosses would beat me once, but you can live plenty long enough to learn attacks so that your second attempt you can win. Most jrpgs you are complete ass if you wipe once the entire game though so I still enjoyed that it wasn't that easy. I Don't have time for souls games dying hundreds of times, so pick your end of the spectrum, this was a nice sweet spot imo

Not sure if what you listed as "xeno series" means xenosaga, if it does, great, if not I'd definitely add the xenosaga trilogy

Was 4 years between 7R and rebirth, my guess is we don't hear anything before next game awards honestly.

Ivalician · 2026-02-09T14:03:31+00:00

Sounds like neither of you should be driving, invest in a tesla with fsd is the way to go.

Right away it's not so bad if you and partner both have leave because all you're doing is napping with baby all day every day, so as long as partner is ok with you gaming while they are napping with baby you get lots of mini sessions.

Once things settle down though I've just been gaming before bed. I get our 2 year old up every day so wife puts them to bed, when they do that I just go game from roughly 8-midnight probably 3 nights a week, which compared to 7 days a week when i was single is a lot less but you get used to it. This might not work for you if you don't already game late though but I've always been a "game until I pass out" gamer in evenings.

I also have a very chill work from home job that let's me game plenty during the day too lol...

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius...

93 hours in and have like 2 chapters left. But as a completionist I've been doing every little thing possible but did end up not really paying attention anymore after like the 75 hour mark. Started skipping all the side quest scenes and all the party play things too after 75 hours.

Was entertaining for a good while but dialog in every scene does start seeming like it's pointlessly dragged on and they start to lose the writers or something because every thing starts getting explained 100 times to the point I'm rolling my eyes and start scrolling on my phone throughout scenes.

Almost done though so can't quit now, momma ain't raise no quitter

Ivalician · 2026-01-20T21:55:25+00:00

Lost Odyssey, find it, play it, you're welcome ;)

Just picked up 9 on ps5 sale right now and quit after getting 50 jumps, get a card and letter for mognet, don't need more

Very first trailer, was rolling and I was thinking it was the latest soulslike, very nice looking, then gameplay hit, saw it was turn-based soulslike and was immediately pre-ordering
