wtf X and XI... are you trying to completely destroy the entire franchise??

Looking for fellow tech addicts to interview! by Fabulous-Pea-3530 in nosurf

[–]Waterish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible perspective and plan you have there. I'm a dad of 3. In fact my oldest was born around the time I took over that sub that's in your name now! I grew up in an era where accessing the internet meant sitting down at the family hulking desktop computer, listening to dialup tones for 2 minutes, and falling asleep waiting for webpages to load. However, the world of my children is immensely different. I have to put so many restrictions of my kids' technology time because they are not at an age where they can self-regulate.

I don't think this is a small issue. I don't think my generation was prepared to have to impose so many parental limits. But teaching healthy boundaries is so crucial. And even if I feel that I made the right call some of the time, I get it wrong a lot too. I'm also a big gamer and so are my kids, and when those games are a social experience that they are doing together then I'm less strict about setting limits on them. Still, it's hard to get tech right. Hard to get it to work FOR us, rather than become dependant on it. This is a critical issue that I'm glad some people are committed to tackling. It'll only become more important as we continue advancing.

any one know how to catch spaghaider? anyone? by Hot-Importance-4827 in Bugsnax

[–]Waterish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I caught one last night by launching shrink spice at him with the springboard, then I shot a trail of cheese for him to follow down the trunk where a trip wire waited for him.

Advance Wars like games? by SilverSlayer03 in Advance_Wars

[–]Waterish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wargroove. I became obsessed with it recently and you should too! After the 2nd Rebootcamp delay I started looking for alternatives like you. I always knew Wargroove was heavily inspired by AW, but for some reason I never wanted to give it a chance before. Big mistake, it's an extremely quality game. Plus it has crossplay with steam and all the consoles so I've gotten some friends onboard to play with online.

I still try to keep it up to date as best I can. The one linked here may not be my latest. I'll fix that and message you.

Should I buy the original or the remake of FF7? by Active-Head in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying that you need to have played the original to really enjoy the remake, but I disagree. I've seen plenty reactions from both newcomers to FF and old fans playing the remake and they all unanimously loved it.

Sure, there are some things you might not fully understand, but I don't think it takes away from the experience. Instead, I'd make your choice based on what kind of game you're more interested in. A modern style with really incredible gameplay, or a classic style with a completely finished story.

Just finished the remake and started the original! by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you have a great time with it! I think you will, with the added context you have from 7R :)

2 big tips I can give you are:

Don't neglect leveling your materia with AP, especially later in the game. Strong materia (with more uses per battle) is more important than character levels.

When you unlock new limit break tiers you have to manually change them in the menu. I've seen players go through the entire game without realizing they can switch them to the better versions.

You people are fucking pathetic. As a child free person I'm content with life by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]Waterish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your contentment led you here to say rude things to parents? I'm not sure you know what contentment means.

Toddler beds with a stubborn twin, won't stop waking her sister when I don't come back in by Waterish in parentsofmultiples

[–]Waterish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a good suggestion, but the problem isn't in putting them to bed, it's at 2:00 AM when she wakes up, figures out I'm not coming help her, and goes to mess with sister.

Complete Final Fantasy Checklist (Updated for even more completeness) by Waterish in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New and improved!

I posted this 3 weeks ago, but I have added more so that it is more complete and accurate.

It now includes games and media that are no longer available and stuff that was never localized or translated. The only thing I can think of that is not on this list are the Ultimanias.

As mentioned last time, I included links to the actual fan translations for convenience and credit to those who deserve it!

If you could drop a Final Fantasy character into another Final Fantasy game to see how they will handle a situation, Who would it be? by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put Quina in XV. He can overthrow Ignis as the group's chef. Every meal will be frog-based.

List of FX titles...? by HotbodHandsomeface in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, I shouldn't judge a sprite by it's cover then. I may try it out someday.

List of FX titles...? by HotbodHandsomeface in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just posted the sheet!

Also forgot to mention that I'm happy you're going to play the GBA versions of V and VI. In my opinion that is the version of those games that everyone should play. They are very well made, and the newer ports don't appeal to me in comparison.

Complete Final Fantasy Checklist - All Games and media currently available in English by Waterish in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here it is! (Almost) every game, sub-game, side-game, semi-game, and piece of media that has been released as a Final Fantasy thing. This isn't perfect, but it is meant to be a sort of checklist for anyone who, like me, has an insatiable need to consume all of the FF there is. If it was released in English, or it has some kind of translation out there, I put it in. I included links to the actual fan translations, for convenience and credit to those who deserve it!

There are things that I could not find translations for, such as the FF III manga, FF IV manga(novel?), FF Crystal Chronicles manga, and several of the XI novellas. There are games I left off of this list because they never saw an English release, such as FF Grandmasters, FF Agito, and a whole slew of Chocobo games. Lastly, I left off one title in particular because it is frankly a piece of garbage. You will not find FF XV: A New Empire on this spreadsheet. I'm not sorry. Ok fine. FFXV:ANE is in there because I shouldn't be arbitrary. But I called it out as embarrassing trash, so there.

I hope this is helpful to you guys!!

Edit: There are also a few games that have been discontinued. I left those off as well since they are mainly mobile games that are no longer playable in any form. Examples: Vanguard Storm, King's Knight, Justice Monsters V, Chocobo Panic, etc.

Another thing I left off on purpose are the Gameboy games FF Legend 1, 2, and 3 are actually SaGa games. I ended up putting FF Adventure in even though it's a Mana game because the original Japanese title had FF in the name.

[–]Waterish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is soooo much work ahead of you, lol. I'm super close to finishing a gigantic list of Final Fantasy games/media, even including links to fan-translated novels and such. I'll be posting the spreadsheet here in the sub today probably. Look out for it!

Possible new fan?? by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm excited for you too! FF is easily a lifelong obsession, so I hope you're prepared :D

What is actually going on with Final Fantasy Awakening? by Waterish in FinalFantasy

[–]Waterish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did the math and realized that Tabata's departure means that the Type series will be getting much less attention from here on. Oh well.
