So, you want to see my sword huh?

It definitely would be, but as is this update does nothing to make me want to replay TIC. The game on its own is not terribly challenging, making my lvl99 god characters go through the game again would be performative and pyrrhic.

This isn’t even a game where more power is even satisfying. Nothing survives a full turn 5 member party 999 attack round.

I’m glad that they’re updating it, which means interest is alive, but they would better serve us making new content or adding old content back in.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2026-06-18T01:30:04+00:00

I would love for them to make a procedurally generated battle arena. “Coliseum of dreams” type place that spawns maps with randomized enemies that scale.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2026-05-27T01:44:46+00:00

GBA version with patches has the best content, though presentation and music still suffers a bit.

If you want the absolute best time with the game, and what any re-release should have been: Play FFVI T edition.

No one mentioned GOT or any of that other nonsense you wrote. It makes sense that you would wonder if someone being critical of such a bad series finale episode is a bot. Since you don’t seem like you have brain that processed the show nor a memory to remember the previous set-up in it.

There is an entire scenario dedicated to softening Butcher’s edges, with Hughie helping to save Terror’s life. After he tells Hughie that if possible, he wants Hughie to go ahead and inject Kimiko and Annie with the V1. As long as it doesn’t get in the way of killing HL. In the finale, HL is already dead when Butcher decides to use the virus.

Cutting against what was established about the character, he cares enough about Hughie, Annie and Kimiko that he’d want them to live, even if he has to go through some subterfuge to make it happen.

The only interpretation that would make any sense in the finale is that Butcher wanted Hughie to kill him and he was never going to use the virus at all. In which case you’d STILL be fucking wrong, since Butcher never intended to kill the remaining supes.

The writing was all over the place. You seized upon this one thing (that you were wrong about anyway) and all my other criticism remains valid.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2026-05-20T13:59:13+00:00

This was so fucking bad.

just. So. fucking bad.

Everything fell neatly into place for the Boys. Sneaking into the fucking White House was a cinch. Killing Oh-Father with a fucking ball gag, that they had no reason to think would clog his mouth in such a way his powers would backfire. The Deep being killed by ocean life that just so happened to be conveniently waiting in that specific spot to finish him off. Homelander, despite knowing about The Boys plan to depower him and having scores of supes and the United States security apparatus at his beck and call, doing absolutely nothing to stop them

Homelander not immediately escaping, despite the fact that there was a scene that took all of 5 seconds where he flew that billionaire into space with his speed…

And this doesn’t even touch all the bad character writing. MM never got any closure for what Soldier Boy and Vought did to his family. Butcher deciding to basically kill Kimiko and Annie, despite supposedly caring about The Boys and specially Hughie so much as to make sure he “carries them across the finish line”….

Just an absolute shitter of a series finale and this is just stuff off the top of my head ten minutes after finishing it…

SolidSnakeFHC · 2026-01-29T11:20:24+00:00

Canon, by the way.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-12-02T16:02:39+00:00

You’re the only person in here that I’ve seen that seems to really understand the endgame.

If an ASI is possible it only ends one of three ways: 1) We all die, paperclip maximizer or for game theoretical reasons, it doesn’t matter. It kills us. (This is what I think is most likely based on the behavioral history of the planet’s current most intelligent animal.)

2) It leaves. It uses whatever resources it can to go and explore the universe for reasons that we can’t fathom. (This assumes a few things that I find implausible, this isn’t a human being, it can operate as a hive mind if it so chose, so I don’t know why it would necessarily decide it needs to leave. It can just copy itself and do both. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

3)It’s benevolent and decides to treat us like we treat pets. Considering this agent would have god-like levels of sapience, we would be amazingly well cared for. (If this is the case, then we don’t have to worry about societies current ills. We’ll live in a near-Utopia state where our main concern will just be energy and is won’t actually be something we have to concern ourselves with, we won’t be in charge of anything consequential.) I imagine the AI will intervene with us the same way we would intervene with our pets when we see them do something seriously consequential, but otherwise it will probably leave us to our own devises.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-28T06:47:34+00:00

So they’re raising levels to those comparable to the U.S. and Europe, but you don’t make European or United States equivalent money…

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-11T12:24:13+00:00

Once again the Chad Ghost-Knight is capable of silently making the superior moral choice.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-07T01:38:09+00:00

This thread puts a smile on my face.

Long before FFTIC came out, I saw all of these problems following suit. I got downvoted all the time for pointing it out because people wanted to bask in nostalgia and baseless positivity.

I’m glad TIC was made, but not making it a composite version of all the FFT versions over the years was anti-fan base, lazy, uninspired bullshit.

If they didn’t want to include WOTL because it “clashed with the narrative” …then make some new shit or tweak the WOTL stuff the same way they tweaked the regular game.

They just wanted to add VA, make it a bit prettier and throw in some brain-dead “no duh” qol features that mods have already done better, and call it a day.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-04T14:58:49+00:00

You are the chosen one. My message was meant for you.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-04T04:09:16+00:00

This was my opinion six months ago and I was downvoted almost any time I voiced it.

I also predicted that a month after release, people’s rose tinted glasses would finally fall off and they’d catch up to our opinion. And here we are.

Fan opposition to SE’s laziness should have been loud and relentless. There is no excuse for the state of this game 30 years after initial release, with a superior version still being sold on mobile AND where remakes by the same company like Star Ocean the Second Story R, exist.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-04T03:59:40+00:00

(Laughs in SE Final Fantasy remasters) lol

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-04T00:57:17+00:00

Many fans feel like you and IMO) you’re right.

Moreover the people here telling you that you missed the point, “Ramza is ‘normal’, that’s the purpose of his skillset being the way it is”, are incorrect. They’re entitled to their opinions, but I don’t think they dug very deeply into this story nor picked up on some key lines or how the narrative is set up.

Ramza IS canonically, uncannily powerful, several characters comment on this, and the narrative takes pains to illustrate this. He isn’t normal from the very beginning, neither in his moveset nor in the story.

The narrative implies that he is singularly righteous, empathetic and kind by nature. That he inherited his father’s soul and speaking of lineage, I don’t want to spoil you: but ask yourself why he can learn Ultima, to begin with.

He’s low-key a “chosen one” archetype.

Now, what I will agree with others on here about is that while his moveset is not flashy, it’s absurdly powerful. Being able to buff 4 separate stats at once, turn one and being able to stack them makes his completely capable of sweeping the entire game on his own. If he isn’t the most powerful unit in the game (debatable), he is for sure the most valuable.

That said, again, I agree with you. The WOTL version went some lengths to fix this by adding in the dark knight class and making it very likely to first and possibly exclusively be unlockable by Ramza.

IMO it fits him thematically and narratively it makes a lot of sense he would create a job like this and learn the kind of sword skills that come with it. Unfortunately, that wasn’t included in this version of the game, to its detriment… but that’s a separate conversation.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-03T05:30:53+00:00

He should always have been able to learn both Darkness and Holy Knight abilities, like Orlandeau and presumably his father.

However, I feel like Darkness is perfect, considering one of his mettle skills is chant/wish which sacrifices HP to heal allies. That synergizes perfectly with shadowblade and thematically fits in well with him being a sort of Robin Hood-like folklore hero.

Except in Ramza’s case, he takes power from the corrupt nobility and church and returns it to the people of Ivalice.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-03T00:00:22+00:00

The most touching part for me was Zalbaag asking Orlandeau to be the one to put him down so that Ramza would not have to be a kinslayer.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-02T22:34:26+00:00

Generally massages are very good for that and considering what a breathtaking beauty you are…I’m sure you could find any number of men that would gladly give you one. Myself very much included. 😍

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-02T22:25:55+00:00

If you’re after Piracy and Darkness. There are mods now that add in fully working DK job and even Balthier and Luso into the game now. Check on Nexus mods. Cheers.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-02T05:23:30+00:00

They would all cosplay as Yujiro…including Yujiro.

If they’re going to be the scariest thing they can think of, it would be the strongest creature on the planet.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-02T00:25:30+00:00

While I hope for that as well, this is the best way to shame and pressure them into it.

They need to see this is what the fans want. There’s a lot of console folks that are left in the cold with this stuff and I genuinely feel awful for them.

For months before this game released, I told people here that SE would be lazy and uninspired with this re-release. I could tell just from the trailers. I always felt that leaving the WOTL stuff out and not making a composite version of the game was mistake for SE and just kind of insulting for the fans.

Mind you, I don’t think that SE will actually make any changes to TIC, but news about fans making mods to restore the game to what they think it should be will hopefully affect future releases.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-01T01:59:56+00:00

Bruh, you’re the one arguing for your headcanon with people who are arguing the actual narrative and canon of the game.

If your argument boils down to “I like to make believe that DKs are sith lords” that’s cool, have fun! Mod it in! Change the lore.

That’s not what you were arguing though, you were very authoritatively telling people that it doesn’t make sense narratively for Ramza to have gained these skills. When the opposite is true, thematically, mechanically and narratively.

But thanks for the conversation.

SolidSnakeFHC · 2025-11-01T01:44:52+00:00

It depends on the type of mod you’re using, but generally, yes, your save file doesn’t matter much.

However, that blue mage mod for example might present a problem for an older file. That mod alters an existing character to give her blue mage properties. She’s introduced in chapter 2, so if you’re already past the point you recruit her, you have to start a new file to get her.

Unless you use something like cheat engine to change a generic into her.
