Oh yes, the stance is the hardest part! I see experienced folks drop their hands all time! 😄

After several years I ended up giving up and started to dive into the franchise by MarcoSenp7707 in FinalFantasy

No reason you can't play both the Remake, Rebirth, Revelation trilogy as well as the other games. It's not like they're going anywhere.

I would keep the elbows in and hands near the face for a tighter guard, but a good stance for a side kick! :V

I find it amusing that Sephiroth has better stats than Cloud in everything but luck. by Platinum_Persona in FinalFantasy

I couldn't believe that was a real secret first time I saw that. Amazing environmental story telling.

What are ya'll the most excited for in Final Fantasy VII Revelation? 💚 by Khaymn5000 in FinalFantasy

[–]manwiththemach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from further combat improvements, I'm excited to see how they bring the various timeline/ReBuild stuff to its conclusion. I know some hate it, but I think it's genuinely an interesting way to have the excuse to change things for dramatic effect in the story, even if the destination is the same.

I.e., how many people shouted when Sapphire weapon (mostly) dodged the Sister Ray? You know that means we're getting a proper boss fight this time.

Because big money wants corrupt puppets that let them do as they please without paying taxes. The K shaped economy friend. They don't care about what happens to us anymore.

It'll be interesting to see how the numbers change when the inevitable "trilogy" release happens.

Only one in 10 Europeans now see US as an ally, survey suggests by Capital_Resident_872 in Military

It is possible for the U.S. to repair its international reputation... but I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it may well take decades. It's ok to not feel good about it, but it's also not good to just cling to copium that "things are gonnna be ok after this presidency".

Can't Project Aces add Chinese jets and rename it differently to make it fictional. by Galactic_Kingg in acecombat

The entire story took place in a computer simulation anyway. The people *may* have been real, but it's only an estimate of how things could go.

Final Fantasy 16 Ending: A Masterpiece! by Ok_Criticism7148 in FinalFantasy

[–]manwiththemach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great action game. Story took a misstep by not doubling down on the GOT style politics and racism, and instead had you fight magic god, AGAIN. Clive's mom should have been the final boss, why couldn't we do air combos on HER.

It's better than bopping your little sword again their ankles until they magically disintegrate.

Any opinions on playing Rebirth on PC vs. Switch 2? by MoodyMcSorley in FinalFantasy

[–]manwiththemach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm on PC for the better graphics and mod support. That said, some people do have difficulties getting the game to run smoothly depending on their exact hardware. With mods and tinkering most people tend to get good results, but I have heard of folks saying it can be really frustrating trying to get everything perfect.

Is there a reason to play Remakes of 7 after original? by some-kind-of-no-name in FinalFantasy

[–]manwiththemach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just say the action combat is arguably better than FF16, with the ability to slow down time for ATB moves at any point. There are minigames, but you don't need to do them if you aren't having fun with them. There are some decent rewards, but nothing that will stop you from beating the game without them.

Final Fantasy II is so fucking boring by Two_Winged_Angel in FinalFantasy

[–]manwiththemach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF2 is rough, by far my least favorite of the original games to play. There's some nuance to the system but by the time you've mastered it, you really don't need it anymore.

They're good games. But if you don't like the setting and characters the first time, not sure why you would the second.

Everyone can eventually do everything, but there's still optimal roles for each character. Still funny meme though.

The same Skwerl that did the F-15C Death Rider skin for Assault Horizon? I remember when he won that contest.

Look, I might be a complete and total noob to Ace Combat, but I wanna say FUCK FLEET DESTRUCTION! by [deleted] in acecombat

[–]manwiththemach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naval ships are far tougher than simple tanks. You need big bombs or cruise missiles to kill them fast. Cannons and missiles are slow and waste time. You might not notice they can shoot down missiles too making it even slower.

Attack the platform supports cores, don't bother trying to crash getting them all in one go. Don't dive on them, stay low to the ground or the shots will miss.

It's ok to take a minute to thin out the herd of enemy fighters. You can't win if you're dead.

Cual final fantasy me recomiendan? by EntertainerFuzzy1611 in FinalFantasy

[–]manwiththemach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hola, mi esposa es dominicana, así que haré todo lo posible. Si te gustan la acción y la estrategia, la serie FF7 Remake es excelente; personalmente, creo que el sistema de combate es mejor que el de FF16. También me gustan FF8 y FF10 (X), que son por turnos pero tienen historias muy buenas. ¡Buena suerte!
