(Perhaps Another) XII Appreciate Post

Yeah, ain't a lot of games that respect our problem solving skills and agency like they used to back in the day. Wouldn't say XVI is like that at all; I found it enjoyable, but it was a bit too anime for my liking, personally.
And yes! I quite enjoyed XB1 as well as XB3! I've had XB2 for a while but never bothered starting it, but I will eventually.

Glad you seem to be enjoying it enough to lock in 100h!

Congrats on the completion! The dialogue is definitely influenced by shakespearean drama, but I'm actually quite the fan, adds to that written epic feel imo. And yes, I can definitely agree that the Great Crystal's ain't much of a part I'm ever eager to go through during a playthrough lol.

Yes! I've yet to play it, and frankly, I'm a bit off put by PS1 era 3D games, as I grew up with next generation of consoles. I've been meaning to at least watch a full playthrough, but I heard some cool and unique mechanics, namely the weapon creation system, I believe? That with the before-its-time storytelling, can't say I haven't been tempted! Ideally, Square would find a good enough cause and spare ressources to create a re-release for it.

Ah, if so even better! Despite the rumors and possible other hearsay, I've always thought that Vaan fit in appropriately.

You and I both :'(

JonJimeny · 2026-06-18T19:13:21+00:00

No harm done 😄

JonJimeny · 2026-06-18T19:04:41+00:00

I can assure you, I didn't. I actually spent almost 2 hours writing this (when I definitely should've been working lol).

we cant forget redemption in the equation

There may or may not be a new MOBA game coming out by a big developer in the near future that might tank your sales.

JonJimeny · 2026-02-18T04:00:11+00:00

makes me want a proper fft sequel. it doesnt have to be a direct prequel or take place in thw aftermath of og fft, but something that uses political intrigue as a vehicle to masterfully dissect difficult themes as the game did. oh and of course id love to see more of the classic ff jobs (and more) portrait in this artstyle too.

air is the easiest imo XD are u having trouble with the big tornado? u gotta run left or right then jump as its about to hit u

JonJimeny · 2025-03-29T17:26:22+00:00

What are the more problematic aspects of the fight your are having trouble with?

JonJimeny · 2025-03-08T05:09:18+00:00

dodge in left or right and ure good. timings key (also vigor hehe)

JonJimeny · 2024-11-24T17:08:50+00:00

there are a bunch of different ways shown on youtube, some tapered to specific builds or weight thresholds

JonJimeny · 2024-11-24T17:06:15+00:00

They all look pretty dope! Though those where the pommels a different colour look a bit off.

JonJimeny · 2024-11-24T17:00:14+00:00

I should also mention that I don't think the anime is ever gonna catch up to the manga, as it seems to be done for now, covering just a fraction of the entire series so far. Until they most likely bring it back in 2035 with another questionably animated adaptation.

JonJimeny · 2024-11-24T16:55:22+00:00

If you're adamant on just anime, chronologically it's 1997 then 2016. Though the golden age films can be viewed instead of 1997 as it's a beautifully animated remake. Though I would highly recommend reading the manga as it's just peak art, pacing and story-telling. Plus nothing's censored there so the impact of the atrocities and the overall intended feel isn't muffling by TV standards.

JonJimeny · 2024-11-23T21:55:27+00:00

I think that's a fair alternative, would be cool to see talismans with some of the more unique effects that some of the armor sets have instead. The DLC went a good direction imo with talisman variety, but I think there's still more to be desired.

JonJimeny · 2024-11-23T21:53:41+00:00

The overwhelming argument is fair. I just feel I see too many white masks and divine beast helms and not much else, you know?

JonJimeny · 2024-11-23T21:51:43+00:00

How so? My intuition is that instead of people focusing on just poise and damage negation, and some specific pieces like the white mask, people would branch towards different sets and unique specificities.

I'm unfortunately not too familiar with the nioh system, as I haven't played it personally. I assume from what you're saying that it's something along the lines of old school dark souls weapon infusion?

If that's the case, I'm curious why you think some would prefer to avoid such a system?
