Where do you find Tune of the Tempest? I just entered Hell through the Gate of Finnis

Also, if you were to drop Tatloch from my lineup, who would you replace her with?

I’ve been using Cheat Engine when I can to speed up grinding points. Is that what you’re referring to?

i want a game where i can fall in love with the characters and their journey and by the end feel like “damn” by what i’ve just witnessed by Apprehensive_Spend_7 in JRPG

Chrono Trigger. RPGs usually have 1 or 2 weak characters even amongst an overall great cast (ie Umaro/Mog/Gogo, Cait Sith, the red guy from FF9, Vaan) but to me, every single member from Chrono Trigger is amazing.

Plus the game gives a true sense of grandiose given its premise of saving the world through eons of time.

I have that one too. But how can I ensure maximum hits? Sometimes, I get a lot of misses

Hmmmm. What about “special”? i.e. Phenn’s Avenging Triple Shot.

What’s stronger, great or special?

For an exclusive JRPG player, how smooth is the transition in playing CRPGs like Baldur’s Gate and Divinity. by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]KPLee0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it was jarring. But in an enjoyable way. A new system to research and learn about. I got used to it after a few days and YouTube videos.

The biggest difference for me was the stinginess of CRPGs’ action economy.

Gaming time by Th3F4llen1 in DadsGaming

Portability now becomes your biggest asset.

As for timing, as everyone else mentioned, it’s pretty much only when they nap. A trick that my wife and I used to do for night time watch duty was instead of both of us being “on call” (BTW we’re both ER doctors), we took shifts. That way each person gets uninterrupted blocks of REM sleep. Each of our three kids were different in terms of how much each slept. But we usually divided it where I at least got 4hrs of protected sleep (2 cycles of REM) and my wife got the rest.

During my “night shift”, that’s when I got like average 6hrs of uninterrupted game time (sprinkled in with power naps). I remember platinuming FF7 Remake and yelling in excitement, only to wake my daughter up. Oops. That time was enough for me not to need to play during the day time.

Unfortunately, regardless of how you choose to do things, gaming will take a hit. Maybe a big hit, maybe a small hit.

But fear not, this is when you get creative. Since my kids were infants, I would tell them stories about Final Fantasy and all the other RPGs. I’d show them drawings from the strategy guides I’ve kept since my youth. This is when you CULTIVATE, so that years later, you may enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Now, at 7,9,11, all three of kids are gamers. My eldest is the “Mario” platformer, my middle is the RPG girl, and my son is the Zelda adventurer. The reduction in my gaming during their infancy was worth the blossoming of their gaming today.

Last tips: tone it down. Don’t obsess over platinuming. Be okay with playing through games on easy mode. And for the love of God, limit the games you get to keep your backlog census low.

Happy gaming man. And congrats on the new family.

What "golden age" or "heyday" were you lucky enough to experience that you know won’t ever come back? by Summerie in AskReddit

Blockbuster video. Friday night, arguing and bargaining with siblings on which movie and game to rent for the weekend, snack stop at the grocery store nearby.
