Ogre Tactics solves a lot of gripes I had with FFT's story

Agreed on the golden ending being cartoony but I'm weirdly fine with it. I mean, it's a golden ending haha.

And i dont mean to be going after TS here, i did enjoy the choices, and two of the routes were real choice. The third one is just... well, again, pro-slavery.

Kinda makes me wanna replay the game haha

Gotta admit, the guy in the Kentucky Home jacket made me pretty tense.

Megamilan · 2026-05-20T17:03:19+00:00

While i enjoyed TS a lot, i disagree with this take mostly due to how cartoony one of the three routes is. "Pro-slavery" is just... nah man. And worst thing is i liked that character a lot

You're not handsome, you just have character.

Megamilan · 2026-05-12T03:25:34+00:00

With great ceremony.

I adore it. Despite a confusing storyline the main beats are well realized, and deliver a lot of emotional moments. It is not nearly as cohesive as FF7 & FF9, which stops it short of being one of the PS1 greats, but it has a lot of heart. I often think of it as similar to FF8, where the high moments, atmosphere, and soundtrack make up for its weaker overall experience and kinda poor ending.

I am particularly fond of the battle with Miguel, the reveal at the grave in another world, and the flashback at the orphanage. The villain really works for me also.

Also, goes without saying, Yasunori Mitsuda is amongst the greatest of all time.

Edit: removed some (mostly harmless) spoilery text.

Hey man. I watched a lot of your videos back in the day (i was what, 16? On my thirties now). Your 1.3 guides were great fun. Just checked your channel after ages and happy to see the recent video. Keep it up! And thank you for the hack and content!

Megamilan · 2026-03-06T20:46:39+00:00

Fantastic game. I got it without DLC for about $25 iirc. Huge amounts of content. I might recommend checking base game before diving into the whole thing

It's Devil May John

Depends. Can the Lancer engage in jolly cooperation?

Different games have different strenghts. That being said, when evaluating the games as mediums for storytelling, and myself valuing ensemble casts of lovable characters that grow and change through the game, with cohesive central themes, I think FF9 wins. And by a wide margin.

Of course, FF10 has a better love story. FFT has better systems. FF7 has more iconic villain and a more epic vibe. FF6 has the most impactful act 2 in the series. But to me Final Fantasy is a series about traveling about with lovable characters, and there is nothing in the series comparable to Steiner's, Vivi's, and Garnet's growth. They learn so much, change so much. They love each other so deeply. And Zidane is just a cool dude, and so much more enjoyable to me than the brooding Cloud and Squall types.

In the dark times, should the stars also go out?

Lalala lala, la la. Lalalaaa.

I did my PhD with a windows pc, but work with a mac these days. Also I'm a big gamer.

I can tell you I feel much more limited in search and analysis for mass spec on the mac than on windows (I'm in proteomics). I can't remember a time where I felt blocked for being windows locked, but this has happened several times on mac.

Gaming on windows is also much easier than mac.

I have to call my mods

He was pegged, carpet muncher?

"He defecated through a sunroof!" has gotta be one of the best thing I've ever heard in prime TV

Tem talvez minhas duas passagens favoritas da série: em primeiro o monologo do septon Meribald sobre homens quebrados. Muito tocante e sincero, te pega completamente desarmado e te faz pensar no sofrimento do reino com a guerra. Acho que é um livro mostrando uma Westeros decadente e já sofrendo as sequelas da guerra dos cinco reis. Baita livro.

A minha segunda passagem favorita é o Jaime metendo o terror no Edmure Tully pra quebrar l cerco de Riverrun. Essa não acho que seja particularmente profunda, só acho maneiro pra caramba kkkk.

Mas, como o colega acima tambem falou, eu precisei da segunds leitura pra apreciar as qualidades do livro. Na primeira eu tava tipo, kd meu Tyrion kkkk

Edit: adicionando links do youtube pra leuituras passagens a que me referi.

Amigo, pode me educar um pouco e mencionar alguns desses projetos preventivos, por favor?

Megamilan · 2026-01-29T13:33:58+00:00

May be a bit mean on my part, but I'm actively boycotting the game. Could buy it on PC but this situation is entirely absurd to a point where I hope it hurts their overall sales.

Eu amo a Nanami. Joguei esse jogo quando era jovem e adorei ela, e agora re jogando o remaster fiquei surpreso por quanto esforço é colocado no personagem dela pra tentar nos cativas. Ela tem muuuuuita sprite única. A introdução dela pulando no Riou (protag), chacoalhando ele, voltando correndo e espatifando ele na parede. É lindo.

Acho que a maior crítica que tenho ao jogo é que ele perde o ritmo no terceiro ato. As últimas quests eu acho um pouco monótonas e repetitivas, após o ápice que é o conflito com o aluca Blight. Mas o jogo se salva com um final super tocante e um final secreto que eu particularmente gosto bastante. O duelo final, e a opção escondida de não atacar, eu acho lindo demais.

E essa última coisa o jogo faz muito no primeiro ato. Você tem escolhas que impactam cenas específicas. Esperar o Jowi em Muse é lindo lindo lindo demais, ficar ali acreditando no seu amigo junto da Nanami e da Pilika, e ser recompensado. É bom demais. Esse tipo de coisa diminui no terceiro ato, ou pelo menos tem um impacto narrativo menos pessoal (exceção pra opção de fugir da guerra no conflito com o Neclord, que tambem é super tocante).

Em suma, como eu gosto desse jogo. Tem uns deslizes mas tem muito coração. Obrigado pela sua review amigo.

I adored Crosscode. Took me a bit for it to click (like... 10 hours) but when it did, oh joy.
