Dunno how long it would have taken otherwise. If you get Diablos at the earliest opportunity you could grind until Enc-None and as long as you had a few 100 mid-range magics you could plough through without too much trouble until you get the Ragnarok? At x3 speed maybe doable in under 10 hours. The remaster has a no random battle option as well so diablos ability isn't needed, I dont mind plowing through the game again so long as its tracked my already gotten timber maniacs, so when i read the seed ship the trophy would ping, am i f**k doing the whole game again for one lousy mag though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was forgetting about the cheats. Aye you could turn off random battles then just use the other cheats during boss fights. It's a great game, almost as good as VII and better than IX.

NotThePars Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) I've set myself a soft challenge of beating VII through IX given I've hit disc 3 twice maybe even three times in my life, got to the end of disc one of VIII once about 15 years ago and currently at the train heist/ kidnap thing, and escaped Midgar in VII. For the amount of FF I've played from the age of 10 I find it mad I've only completed four of the games in my life. Especially when I've hit credits on FFX on three separate consoles and am halfway through my second playthrough of the VII Remake. ETA: Then again I can just stick to the Square Enix games and complete Nier Automata for the second time. That game is so fucking cool. Best soundtrack as well.

Gianfranco Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I really struggled to get into Assassins Creed Unity so I’ve binned it for Battlefield 1. It’s right up my street but I’m finding it really tricky. Flying and shooting at the same time is murder but I’ve mastered driving the tank. I’m really shit at the combat side of things I keep getting killed by soldiers shooting me from behind without me noticing where I’m being shot from. The p***ks with the flame throwers just won’t die. I’ve still got stories 3,4 and 5 to go but I think I’ll purchase the WW2 Battlefield game based on how much I’ve enjoyed the WW1 game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Just had a quick shot of a free game called Crsed. Know nothing about it other than it's a battle royals, looks stylish, played one game and was running around having no clue what was going on, my character was naked and I just had a shank. Found a jetpack and an IV Drip Spent 10 minutes running around looking for someone, realised it was 8 and had to log out of my work laptop, left the game for 60 seconds came back and was dead. Only 10 mins in but it reminded me of first time trying H1 and Fortnite, could be good fun I've everybody stays shite at the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'm on Disc 3 of FFIX. Well, I'm on the PS4, but where Disc 3 would be. By f**k, it's slooooooooooow. The battles are mind-numbingly slow. Thank f**k for the fast forward option otherwise I think I'd have lost all patience with it. Sure I read an article about it a few years ago that said it was so slow because graphically it was so far ahead of FFVII that they had to slow it down so the PlayStation could handle it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing stuff. It’s why I don’t feel bad for shoving on 9999 and going to fight the big thunder dragons for easy xp.I think I might be near you in the game. Just got the Blue Narciss and hoovered up all the chocographs and on my way to kick Kuja’s head in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 9 is a great wee game, but it's behind 7, 8 and 10 for me. The characters are great though! Vivi, Steiner, Beatrix (wid). Rally ho! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 X was great and maybe has the best combat of the series until they nailed the action RPG style in the VII Remake. People fetishise the world map stuff when more often than not it just grinds the momentum of the story to a halt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Ten having a lack of world map was totally fine for me, as the story and characters were absolutely brilliant. They packed in a lot for the PS2 at the time. I loved the battle system for it and I don't care if it wasn't "realistic" or not, it worked and above all it was fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the games felt open world but they weren't really - there was very much a set path you had to follow until you got an airship. X was the same. The only difference was that instead of manually flying the airship yourself you just selected where you wanted to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Everything after 10 doesn't exist for me. 12 was boring as hell despite having some cool features and I gave up before half way on 13 as it was even more boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I should have wedged Tactics up there, probably between 10 and 8, and found a space for Chrono Cross as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, 7 and 8 (canny mind 9 for some reason, need to maybe play it again) allowed you some freedom on the world map early doors (7 you were walking but at least you could go places, then you had the seaplane then the highwind, 8 you could rent cars or walk right after the escape from timber, and go place etc) To me ten felt like it was a one track game, you could deviate from the path and even the world map only giving you a few locations to go to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I just couldn't get into FF8 at all as a bairn. I love 7 and 10 though. Really need to get a PS5 for the 7 remake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
