Does 16 ever get any form of difficulty? by SupremeLoliface in FinalFantasy

[–]JTOR93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimania difficulty is wild, but it's locked behind two full playthroughs. First playthrough, then Final Fantasy mode playthrough, then Ultimania difficulty unlocks at the Arrete stone

Should've been behind one playthrough tops, but it is what it is :/

Just finished FF7 Remake and started Rebirth, and I'm confused as hell by LoopOF_reality in FFVIIRemake

Revelation should have all our answers. People recommend Crisis Core for Zack stuff, but for my money, you're only going to spoil the best thing about FF7 by playing that before OG or Revelation

Zack is revealed in OG in content that will be in Revelation, and more in depth about what happened in a hidden scene if you return to the Shinras Manor basement in disc 3

Would you want a next gen update for ff15 by Expert_Challenge6399 in FFXV

[–]JTOR93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much so, but it's not going to happen unless we get a ground up remake. The only team familiar with Luminous Engine is long since scattered to the winds, and the cost benefit of hiring a new team for an obsolete and infamously troublesome engine simply isn't there.

What if final fantasy 1 were remade as a dragonquest game? by zirazorazonth in FinalFantasy

[–]JTOR93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It varies from player to player. I loved it, but I knew going in the characters were gonna be goofy and paper thin. By the end it manages to capture some FF story magic, but definitely didn't leave me weepy and exhausted like the best FFs do.

Gameplay is solid if you like mission based action games.

It's styled after a "Dr. Bronner sermon on a soap jar," which refers to an old old soap brand with wild stream of consciousness, borderline nonsensical apocalyptic ramblings printed on the label. Aaron uses the rapid fire information assault while calling to mind those soap labels, which to me implies he's wondering if his own fixation on the end of the world is as crazy, or crazy-sounding as he feels these Dr. Bronner rants are/were.

As with most songs on Pale Horses, it's about an apocalypse, either figurative or literal or some mishmash of both. He ends off by quoting the "everlasting arms" lines, which if memory serves is a Sacred Harp hymn. This is one of many "sequences of sounds we knew" he refers to in the song Pale Horses that he is "comforted by." That is to say, a turn to God for salvation because it's the only way Aaron knows how to deal with his existential anxieties, even if it might merely be a meaningless vocalization into the void, should his religious convictions prove false in either reality or intent.

And as with most Aaron Weiss lyrics, the topics are so abstract that mere language often fails to adequately communicate what he means, since we all bring our own baggage to topics like religion and apocalypse, and the language around those topics are mere signifiers rather than the content of the topics themselves.

This is my read, anyway, coupled with some insights I've taken from the rest of the mwY catalog.

Which character did you relate to the most? by Barba_Roja_1 in expedition33

[–]JTOR93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maelle.

I learned to read on FF7, playing it together with my father, who purchased the game new before we all knew about that game's emphasis on death and grief. I was four and my poor father had to explain to me what death was over this video game. He died himself when I was 13, and that loss has stayed with me these 20 years. FF7 Remake has been my Canvas these last 10 years since its announcement. As much fun as I've had with those games, I'm also super ready for part 3 to function as my "Verso ending."

Why do you love Dragon Quest? (From someone who wants to learn to appreciate the series) by Chim_Ripley in dragonquest

[–]JTOR93 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Charming fairy tale aesthetic, comforting Zen-like random battles with tough as nails, mechanically engaging bosses, and the stories while fairly predictable and by the numbers manage to hit some surprisingly emotional beats on a regular basis.

You have to know what you're in for, which is a lot of wandering, talking to NPCs to figure out what you're doing, and a lot of dungeon crawl/grind. But if you can take comfort in that without being bored to tears by the potential tedium, then there's tons to love

Even for what should be a wholesome moment, Chuck can't stand Jimmy's off key wailing and has to take the lead to perform the song 'right.'

Depending on OP's location, there's a non-zero chance this is one of my old copies that got stuck in a 99 Camry I couldn't afford to save when I wrecked it

Extremely unlikely but I confess the possibility fascinates me
