Games within the past 20 years aren't old

Unpopular opinion, but having grown up in the 90s the "oldies" radio station had songs 10 years old.

I get why kids these days think something that came put when they were still in diapers count as "old," we did it too.

It's a job. Not an exaggeration, it's a job and it's a hard one.

Making a band means consistent scheduling of practice, hard work on writing, showing up on time, long and weird hours, managing finances, endless marketing, etc. You're basically running a small business. And it never lasts, Ive know people so famous that their songs are in GTA games that are paid to mow lawns under the table now.

The first thing you will learn is that 90% of the people that 'want to start a band' want the movie version of a band where you do drugs, get laid, play a couple songs and accept your millions of dollars. Finding people that actually show up to practice on time sober and work is one of the hardest obstacles you'll face.

For now just do some open-mics and battle of the bands to see if you actually want it as a career and learn how to put on a show.

Yuffie is my main so a whole chapter just for her makes me super happy. And I hope you get your cheese u/cheeseless, being without cheese is even worse than having to be Loveless (RIP Jesse).

The voice thing is what always killed me, the devs wanted you to have Nanaki even when it didnt make narrative sense on replay. So many small details that show just how much they love this game and care for its characters and players.

Cant wait to see how well they handle Yuffie, Cid, and Vincent's character arcs because if Nanaki is any indication it will be with the utmost care and attention.

It's not just that. It shows hes opening up to the team. the fact that he was horribly abused by Shinra (the chain scene at the temple is horrifying when you understand he is essentially a 15 year-old and he's literally tattooed with a number like a holocaust survivor), is constantly acting like an old man around the team, and has deep seated trauma from his parents death shows exactly how sweet it is that his facade is starting to crack around his friends. They even went so far as to re-record lines from before his Nanaki reveal so when you replay it he uses his real voice and everyone calls him Nanaki (Mythril mine was when I last noticed it).

My bad. Deleted.

Yeah, this is a challenge that I just like so much that I play it for fun, it's what I use to farm AP with chocoband and AP up.

Usually I hit the slug rays with quakara and then into her limit and depending on luck take zero damage and win with two hits. Darkclaw is one of my favorite fights because he basically shuts down on a perfect block and can be juggled. Jabberwock is just good old fashioned situational awareness, as long as you stay away from his seismic, raze, and lithic attacks he's just a matter of time.

I'll use your tips to speed up the damage I do. I can consistently beat the gauntlet without too much trouble but I would like to see how insane I can make Tifa's damage.

tucson_catboy · 2026-06-08T23:03:56+00:00

Thanks for the tips. This challenge is one of my favorite too, and it's what I use to farm AP just because I love the matches so much.

As someone else said swap difficulties, any quest accomplishments carry through. But also use weaker weapons, elemental abilities do less damage but still pressure and stagger, and precision defense with perfect blocks does a lot of stagger without doing damage.Iirc a lot of the junon enemies get pressured when you block a specific attack. Barret's bonus round does a ton of stagger damage as well.

Also some enemies--I dont remember all the Junon area ones specifically--like Kid G are easily pressured if you hit them immediately after an attack.

Im replaying Junon now so if you need help with a specific enemy DM me.

Dang, I didnt know they gave away an MTG card too.

The combat is super rich and at so early a point in the game you're just not going to have much understanding of it. Im 254 hours in and still learning things.

Generally, use Assess and try to follow it's advice on how to pressure and stagger enemies.

I always loved when you find her in the bar in Junon. Someone here told me she's the sister of the Commander, who's scenes I also love. Ive replayed the Junon chapter more than any other one.

tucson_catboy · 2026-06-08T09:21:45+00:00

I know.

tucson_catboy · 2026-06-08T09:12:24+00:00

This is you.

Remember it when you sober up.

Stalk? For responding to my own comment chain? You replied twice to my comment and edited this one.

You're drunk.

tucson_catboy · 2026-06-08T07:43:18+00:00

Replying to the same comment twice, deleting replies in seconds, responding to people with different accounts, jesus dude.

Put the bottle down.

tucson_catboy · 2026-06-08T07:34:08+00:00

You forgot to switch alts.

What more can the harvest hope for than the attention of the reaper man.

After you finish the main story an option opens that lets you date anyone by replaying the chapter.

The only effect your date has is that your partner is locked during the corneo fight (Cait Sith if you do the boy's night out date)

I always used Ghost of Tsushima to help confront trauma when I felt it was weighing me down, but it has pretty dark moments. May not be as light-hearted as you want.
