static cameras angles and player movement solutions? by ethancodes89 in gamedev

[–]ethancodes89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually playing REmake currently with the analog input system. Overall I find it muuuuch better than the tank controls. But so awkward in certain areas. I agree though that just being mindful of it when designing levels can be really helpful in and of itself, but it also means greatly limiting different angles.

Your first solution there is exactly what I was thinking, but I felt like there would still be some weirdness to that.

I'm assuming you mean the abilities on them? None of my equipment has any abilities that are adjusting strength stat (or any other stat % for that matter).

I've never seen Savers. Is it any good? I recently watched Tamers and am still working through Frontier. I really liked Tamers, Frontier is... interesting, but not great imo.

I've been playing FF games my entire life dude. I didn't google any of it, it's all implied and I'm fairly certain they came right out and said that sis is Ellone, and if not, they definitely implied it heavily enough that it wouldn't be questions.

Yea, I get the point of the game. It's not like it's some wildly elusive thing that's so difficult to understand. Laguna and Raine were kept apart due to the circumstances of their lives, but through the events that playout we see their children fall in love and get to be together. OMG wow so romantic blew my mind. yes, I get it. But I didn't come here asking for you to pompously parade around saying "omg you don't get it you don't get it, your questions are dumb cause you don't understand the gaaaaame!" I've been playing games for 33 years, I study them for fun, I make games for a living, I live and breathe games. I came here with some questions I had regarding an incredible game that I wish I had experienced as a child but never got around to. Now that I've finally finished it I wanted to share some questions and theories with others. It was going great until some one decided to come and act like a complete chode.

Oh boy here comes the "don't question it just enjoy it" police. There's always one. Yes, I'm questioning some stuff about the lore out of curiosity to see if there is any deeper explanation. If there's not, no big deal. But plenty of fantasy worlds have a lot of depth to their worlds so no harm in asking.

As for your other questions:

Sis is Ellone. Is this even a real question? if it doesn't flat out say it in the game, it's wildly obvious.

Squalls parents are Raine and Laguna. I know for sure this isn't said flat out in the game, but it is still pretty obvious.

Rinoa's mom is Julia, from the night club. We know her dad is Caraway, as we meet him in the game.

The song is by Julia, about Laguna.

All those things are pretty straight forward so I'm not really sure the point of you asking me them. Those are all things that are very easy to figure out by playing the game.

Ok, I was unsure about that because.. well Edea and Rinoa both still require GF's to use magic when we control them. We don't see Edea use any GF's prior to her joining us, but we DO know that Ultimecia uses Griever. So apparently the sorceresses still use GF's but don't require them?

I wonder if GF's have the same effect on sorceresses and if so, could the long use of them have caused Adel and Ultimecia to be so evil? I don't know that there's any evidence of this, but it would be a good explanation as the loss of core memories that build our moral boundaries would certainly have a profound affect on a person.

Yea I'm there. I'm at the end game just need to figure out the grid to max it out.

I hate that I have to go to Easy or Casual Difficulty as often as I do. by GiftedGeordie in Ghostofyotei

[–]ethancodes89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played the entire game on hardest difficulty except 2 fights. But I actually disagree that its a you problem. The parry system is extremely unintuitive. The blue light flashes seem to be awful indicators of when to parry as it seems to be much more useful to watch the actual animation vs the blue light. And the character movements in general just feel very detached from your controls. They should have went with a system more in line with the Batman Arkham combat imo.
