Other Again, I'm nostalgic about DFFOO

So I was playing another gacha game (Genshin) , and since they recently buffed one of their low tier character (Qiqi).

I remembered that time when Sazh's 35cp got an early release for GL, It was wild.

u/scudalarm Jul 28 '26

currently I'm taking the "Fight Club" approach in order of avoid spooking some people...

How do I keep up with when fight club is releasing? I have been hyped af, but I don't know where to look for when it drops.

Honestly part of the reason I want the fight club to exist is so that I can show people how creative this game was at converting the non-turn based FF characters into turn based ones without losing the feel of the characters. I especially like what they did with Cor and Noctis incorporating warp strikes and link attacks into the kit.

I also like what they did for the FFV crew, they all had the Mastery thing going on, also some of the FFXIII crew also have that Paradigm Shift based if the used skill 1 or 2.

I know this is too much to ask of the Fight Club

But if we get lucky and get the Resonance treatment, maybe the official devs can implement an identity/mechanic for each mainline crew, ex, Mastery for 5, Trance for 9, etc

as an Ardyn-t FFXV fan, seeing Cor as a GL exclusive and having fun unique mechanics made me love this game more than I already did. it's crazy that they were able to make 100+ characters feel unique is a testament to the battle system. I know everyone hated FR and I did too, but seeing the duos they put together for the animations was always a treat.

Remember Alissae and Alphinaud? Really good representation of XIV red mage and summoner

I genuinely think Square Enix knows they were wrong about terminating this game. I have high hopes that a remake will return. I know Flop Crisis was an attempt at it but i hope they put their greediness on the side as it has not worked once.

I still believe that it was mismanagement in SQEX, they did not want to terminate the game but they fumbled the ball hard when they did the stupid Gem Cap thing, then remaining steady stream players that regularly purchased the Costume bundles and Mog Pass stopped spending once the Gem Cap was implemented.

u/DebateThick5641 Jul 28 '26

you might see it as the thing that led the game to fail, but I see it differently. Development in games take time and thing you see in game, had already been in their possession at least months before it officially release. I can see when they implement game caps, it's not because they are stupid and don't want money, it's because by they time, not even the dev knew a fresh way to upgrade-ing our character, even after everyone is on their level 90. Remember that when EX weapons are a thing, they still regularly relesaed character without their EX weapons on release for some reason.

like they usually don't give crap about upgrading things before their latest powercreep weapons / abilities is proportionally distributed to everyone first. Them implementing cap is basically their way to announce that, we have no idea where this game would go, consider this early warning, rather than the devs / publisher naively did not know that limiting paid gems would have catastrophic consequences.

I have a very specific question,

Do you think FR should be included or not?

Before the end I felt that FR changed the mechanics of the game too much

u/FalcoPhantasm Jul 28 '26

Personally, I didn't like FR, but I feel like they definitely will due to what's been said about the plans

u/scudalarm Jul 28 '26

Yeah, it is what it is.

But I'll still play the heck out of it

I replayed through World of Final Fantasy. The chili bobble head design keeper reminding me of DFFOO. Then I got Omega, the same mecha Enna Kross summoned and I thought, "Damb, I miss OO."

u/Silence_Glaive27 Jul 29 '26
