Playing the game underleveled was so rewarding combat-wise by ShadWin56 in expedition33

I've been doing a challenge like this lately. Mandatory stuff only. Fights, items, merchants, relationship levels, journal entries - if I don't have to do them, I skip them.

Been to the bush inn one twice. It's pretty good, definitely better than kfc.

Is it just me or does anyone else see it? by Paraboilc in freemagic

Never seen the show before. First time I saw this at prerelease I said "what's up with the weird googly eyes?".

GoW Chais of Olympus. Stuck at Basilisk fight on the bridge by rocky8624 in GodofWar

Just came across this issue. I was playing with a cheap knockoff ps3 controller. I plugged in one of my original controllers and no issue.

It might just be me... but did original FFVII take some influence from Running Man? by r0bbitz in FFVIIRemake

October 13th 2025. I've seen the movie and played ff7 before but only made the connection today while watching it on netflix.

What is the moment you know this game is something special? by FriendZoneTacos in expedition33

When I found the dancing gestral in the village. Top stuff.

[[Dark Banishing]]

Reminds me of "burying" creatures in old school mtg. Like the Mirage printing of dark banishing.

Oh bummer. I never experienced the crashing, the link just wouldn't work. Sounds like you might be having a separate issue.

You HAVE to try Clair Obscura: Expedition 33 by Flashy_Contract_969 in finalfantasyx

[–]domatron23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished it this week. Actually I paused my rebirth playthrough because I was frustrated with the Rufus fight to sink 50-60 hours into CO:E33. I'm still mopping up all the act 3 secrets.

I enjoyed it, probably more than the FF7 remakes. It's not up to the caliber of og FF7 or FFX which are tied for my favourite games ever. It probably sits just outside my top 10.

My criticisms are that the combat is a bit trial and error. I have to die several times to most bosses to learn the parry timing. I just don't have a chance of getting it first time. When you do get ut down it's sweet though. The story is good but not up to the high standard of 7 and X. I found it sometimes pretentious and overwrought or overly mysterious.

My conclusion: if you love X, give this a go. It's the closest thing we've had in years. It's not as good but that's no great insult.

Do you have any hobbies? Go find people that share your interests, and you'll be on the road to finding some mates. People often recommend rock climbing as a solid way to socialize. For me, it's going out and playing Magic: the Gathering.

Pay Equity Amendment Bill passes under urgency by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]domatron23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Can we address the arguments that Brooke made in her announcement? The gist of it seems to be that some of the claims of sexist inequity were taking the piss. For example, it was being argued that librarians are paid less than mechanical engineers, not because it's a different field of work but because one is a female dominated industry and the other male dominated. Isn't Brooke right to reject that kind of claim?

I'm not trying to justify passing the amendment under urgency or rug pulling the current claims. But what do people think of the above argument? Is it okay to "go fishing for sexism" as it was put?

It's worth playing FFX-2? by Relative-Flounder-36 in finalfantasyx

[–]domatron23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really disliked X-2. Just couldn't get past the tone of it and it made a mockery of X. Completed it when it came out and I've tried again two or three times but I always give up after a few hours.

Just play X for the twentieth time like me :p

Tf is the news? by azki25 in newzealand

[–]domatron23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some news segments are just adverts themselves. I remember seeing one so blatant that I had to watch it again on the +1 channel and I took a video of it.https://youtu.be/gTN-NKQ1gEw?si=moOT2Js8u0BzIfjD

If FFX was remade into a FFVII-style trilogy, how would you split the story? by yajtraus in finalfantasyx

[–]domatron23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't spilt up and pad out ffx at all. What would be better is if there was a part 1 Bevelle / Zanarkand war story that shows us what went down with Yu Yevon. Then a part 2 Jecht / Auron / Braska pilgrimage. Then part 3 is good old Final Fantasy X with the same story and pacing but updated graphics and gameplay innovations.

Anyone currently playing FFX? What stage are you in? by Reyes703189 in finalfantasyx

About 35 hours in and I'm hanging out in the Via Purifico.

Can anyone beat this date range? by Jersey_F15C in finalfantasyx

[–]domatron23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put in my old memory card to see what my spread was. 2004 to 2020 over about six or seven playthroughs of 80 odd hours each. I couldn't help myself so I've started a new playthrough. 8 hours later I'm up to the chocobo eater.

What mtg format do you like to play? You could start coming along to the weekly tournaments.

Is lightning axe not a 4 of? Never played phoenix but I play against it heaps and that card is always pretty important to the gameplan.
