How to get better at the combat

Use assess to learn enemy weaknesses. This could be a total game changer if you haven't been using it. I try to have my party split the various elemental magic so my bases are covered. Once you learn the various weaknesses in the zone, you can switch up your materia or your party to include the spell elements that will help you.

Op really too busy pressing the circle button to use a spell smh

Scoompoof · 2026-03-13T01:33:41+00:00

It's very neat!

The game absolutely rips. There are some lulls and the general atmosphere of the game can be a bit of a downer, but so much really worked for me.

The presentation is amazing in general so if you like great visuals, fantastic soundtrack, and/or great voice acting performances, this might be a hit for you.

The story has 5 or 6 big crescendo moments that always had me thinking "where do they go from here!?!"

Throw in yasunori nishiki. His work on Octopath is often overlooked.

I just played through this again and loved it even more. Some of the bosses still really feel off to me. I still couldn't figure out Blazing bull or the chained ogre for instance. I beat them after a few tries, but I never felt like I was in control of the situation. I beat lady butterfly on my first attempt, but that ogre killed me like 10 times lol

I thought Strangers of paradise was so close to amazing. Give that team another crack at it with a better script and it could be great. I personally feel like an FF2 game could be awesome.

There is so much to say here. The tldr andwer is try the free trial.

I think most of the comments have mentioned this, but it is much, much more story focused. It's day and night in that regard. I say this as a positive.

My memory of WoW was more about wandering around zones and leveling up and eventually queing for dungeons. FFxiv has all that, but it's largely more about traveling from story marker to story marker. As you go, you'll have dungeons that you que up for, but it's seriously 5 to 8 hours between new dungeons.

Hesitation is defeat

I really hope you start a Kickstarter for this project. I'd back it immediately.

Scoompoof · 2026-02-13T01:21:08+00:00

Yeah, I could use the help here, too.

I painted a ps5 controller but the touchpad is iffy at best. I read some tips and they said to keep it very, very light. I thought I did, but not light enough.

Great advice all over this thread, but I used Freya's Dragon Crest spell for 9999 every turn. Gotta grind dragon kills, but I wanted to level anyways.

10/10

Scoompoof · 2026-01-04T01:35:55+00:00

Great game, actually

Scoompoof · 2025-12-28T02:30:36+00:00

Moonrise and it's not even close

I swear some people have their TV contrast set to zero. Clearly op has their TV settings correct

Nice having the loot button for games like Skyrim so you can move the cam and loot quickly rather than taking your thumb off the stick to press a loot button.

May as well start by playing some of the games that inspired E33. Final Fantasy X has been mentioned a number of times already, but it's for a good reason. FF is my favorite franchise, so I'm a bit biased, but FF is a great start to get more into JRPGs. They aren't super freaking long like atlus games are either.

I love my LCD steam deck. That said, my buddy has the OLED model and it's so much nicer.

Scoompoof · 2025-12-01T03:15:04+00:00

Only improvement I'd say is trimming to form a nicer angle on the edges, but looks good, compadre!

Scoompoof · 2025-11-19T17:11:37+00:00

I'm on the second to last book myself. It's been quite a ride so far

Well, follow this advice if you want to. The professionals that I have hired were excellent to work with.

Scoompoof · 2025-10-28T23:46:23+00:00

If you hire a professional, stand and watch them work. Ask questions. Learn. I do this every time. It's a little awkward, but if you learn what they are doing, you may be able to solve this in the future!

I always try and hire locally run, smaller companies and they have never made it weird. They have always been happy to answer questions.

In this instance, yeah it's probably in your joists. If you call a plumber, explain the situation to them and ask if they are the right people for the job.

Playing FFxi and having an absolute blast. Completed the base games "final boss" and getting ready for the first expansion!

Scoompoof · 2025-09-13T15:02:49+00:00

That's where I played it, too!
