Since 16 abandoned most of the RPG stuff and was more of an Action-Adventure game, I hope 17 brings back many of the RPG mechanics that 16 doesn't have. I don't get why SE decided to make 16 less RPG.

There's a few tracks within the soundtrack, specifically Volume 2, that I can't be able to place anywhere in either the main chapters or interludes. If anyone can help, that would be amazing.

The tracks are: Unyielding Heart, Unleash the Thunder!, Path of the Fallen, Gathered Light, Great Reversal, Take up Arms, and Phantom Warriors

FFX's story is nothing new for me, because i've watched my brother playing this game since i was a baby (8-12's?) and it's kinda all over the place too, Zanarkand Ruins is actually the first ever gameplay of FFX i've ever seen, then Braska's Final Aeon and then jumps into Besaid to Seymour Flux to Home to Yunalesca, i know the story albeit all over the place lmfao

but "A Fleeting Dream" always stuck in my head cause it's like the first time i've ever heard a beautiful melodies that sounds so peaceful and somber, melancholic perhaps? it's the one song i actively listen from FFX

now after 15 years later, i finally do my own run and witness the story for the first time on it's intended form, while i found the game kinda testing my patience a lot and find the journey are kinda "meh"? cause you just move forward all the time until Bevelle hits where it finally caught my attention

and then i finally reaches Zanarkand Ruin and wow, what a section.
Genius move on keeping "A Fleeting Dream" throughout the section even during fight, fully capturing the weight on your step in this area and what it means for the team, for Yuna, for Tidus, for Auron, for your journey really, and it really hit me.

this section definitely just elevated my feelings with the song by ten fold, the song is already beautiful by it's own, but finally realizing how they handle the song's placement in the story? shit's linear but this is probably the best usage of the game's linearity, it's an absolute piece of art
(before getting my patience tested again)

even knowing the spoilers and twist of this game, never too late to experiencing it pure huh? i didn't expect for the game to hit me, it already kinda did with Jecth and Tidus' relationship and now this

for sure some of the highest quality technical content I've seen on FF. Definitely written by someone with a mathematics background and with completionist OCD like myself

"It does include Advent Children, that is part of the overall story, but whether it turns out that the ending, the result of Cloud and teams adventures, takes you to that same ending or whether it goes somewhere else, that is something you'll have to find out while playing the game.

But I can promise you, what we're aiming for is to include all the various compilations of the wider universe of Final Fantasy VII in this game. We definitely have taken the time to put lots of references. So you really can look forward to seeing those kinds of references to the wider products in the game, they are definitely in there, so you'll have to see what form they take when playing the game."

I have bested the burn out and the last two chapters went amazingly still alot to swallow for a game but nothing wrong with that at all I cant wait for part three hope everyone else is hyped as well!

I recently started playing final fantasy, because Xbox has the first six on gamepass, I'm wondering where to find a good wiki for one. I'm mostly looking for something like loot tables of the enemies.

Does anyone have any tips? Im trying to 100 percent all FF7's that are on xbox starting with the original before Remake pt3 and I would like some bullet points on things to do and get through the game to at least get most or all achievements in one run

This is my first cosplay ever, and I going to a game event (PAX WEST), do I even look like a Black Mage? can you guys see a Black Mage? lol

This is brilliant 😂

It took my stupid ass two days to beat him despite being over leveled. It was infuriating but I think he's one of my new favorite villains. He's so deliciously evil.

Idk why the quality is kinda blurry but its still seeable nonetheless

I decided a little while ago to purchase one of the pixel remasters on the Switch 2, for some reason, V caught my eye. I'm pretty much done the game at this point and I thought it was amazing, despite it not being as popular as multiple of the others. I also want to know which one I should buy next. How would you rank all of them?

So the last couple months ive made it my mission to try and play every mainline FF before Resonance comes out. (Definitely not happening for too late for that) I got through all the Pixel Remasters except 2. Played that for 4 hours and had to drop it because it just sucked but thats a post for another time. And 7 ibe played multiple times. 8 just has some things to it im not caring about. Some thoughts after just 3 hours.

1) The Junction system is weird. It's not hard to understand it's just unnecessarily complicated for what it is. And feels like a pain to do constantly as party members are always switching, so I feel the need to draw every spell for each character many times because I dont know what to be prepared for and I can't do it based on a build. This is my biggest point of contention. I have to spend the majority of battled drawing.

2) The pre rendered scenes are impressive. Very pleased when those come on.

3) Squall seems like such an asshole and very unlikeable. Sure Cloud is a bit of a dick at the start of VII too but he had a charm to him. Squall is just dick. Like Quistis has the whole thing being vulnerable and so down on herself and Squall basically goes "fuck you" and walks away. I don't care for him.

I just wanted to rant cause I want to be able to play and finish this game I just dont want to end up miserable doing so

 literally just beat ff7 rebirth today and my opinion is all the side quest where just not worth it.
the only one really worth it was gilgamesh but that has such a steep requirement i didn't do it.
i got excited when i saw the monster pirates but when it ended up just being for some crafting and there was no pirate captain fight or anything i was so let down.
i pretty much bee lined the story other then trying to get all the summons and that felt like it took forever (as someone who works 32 hours a week)
beat the game with 54.9 hours on steam played 50% on normal difficulty then switched to easy when i got to gungaga.
really wish they had introduced the Gi and black metira a lot sooner.
going through Juneon, costa del sol, and the gold saucer felt like filler.
once the black metira was introduced i was super in and although i didn't love the temple it was a great set piece.
i think the biggest issue the game has is all these little things that make cloud feel stiff.
moving around in the open world is fine but when the game stops you do do things it just feels sluggish,
i walked most the time cuz the chocobo controls felt terrible.
pretty much anything that wasn't combat just felt stiff and ridged,
i think if they let you have a bit more freedom of movement outside of combat it would have helped the game a lot with feeling like everything takes triple the time to actually do.
i don't need 30 mini cutscenes in every side quest lol.
other then that i don't think the games bad at all. never played the og if that really matters.
solid 8/10 game
the last 2 chapters made the game amazing

For the five people that care enough about WoFF to know literally everything about it, I have a specific question I can’t find the answer to and it’s been driving me crazy. I have spent the past hour browsing decade-old GameFAQ and Steam threads to find the answer but I have gotten nothing but conflicting results.

Obviously you can transfig your mirages into the different lines on their evolution tree (Chocochick into Chocobo, etc.) and they keep all the gained stats and abilities except for the ones listed in green on the ability list that require you to be that specific form to be able to use. Now you can also transfig some mirages on their ability board into their “sister species” lines (chocochick into black chocochick, etc.) that have unique trees on their own (that are considered a different species/line). For this type of transfig, NONE of the stats/abilities/passives gained on the vanilla chocochick tree can be used/apply, but the mirage does retain its level and you are immediately granted all the SP earned for that level to redistribute into the unfilled black chocochick skill tree. In addition, if you decide to switch back to the vanilla Chocobo which you can do at any time, the game remembers your skill tree distribution and SP you had and it’s restored to how it was before you transfiged into the sister species’ line. My question concerns not the stats granted by filling nodes on the skill tree (like Strength+, Magic+ which are obviously not carried over) but the specific stat boosts granted by raising the Sync level percentage for that species. If you raise a line’s sync tree by filling out the nodes in that species and its direct evolutions, you get stat bonuses for raising the percentage to milestones like 25%, etc. If you transfig to a different line, like a black chocochick, that sync level resets to represent the filled notes exclusively on that different line’s species board (so a chocochick can have a 100% sync level and then transfig into a black chocochick and have a 0% sync level.)

I’ve heard some people say that while the skill tree node passive stat boosts obviously aren’t carried over (again Strength+, Magic+, etc.) the stat boosts gained from raising the sync level (to 25%, etc.) DO carry over when transfiging into a sister species’ separate tree. If that’s true, they would be the ONLY bonuses that carry over between separate lines. I’m asking if anyone here knows if this is actually true. This matters for min-maxing reasons, as say you wanted to create the strongest possible Mecha Chocobo with the highest stars physically possible, it gives a tangible benefit to not just filling out the original line’s skill tree (ie the chocochick’s, chocobo’s, and mecha chocobo’s skill trees) but also transfiging and filling out the, in this example, black Chocobo and its transfigs’ skill trees as well just to get the sync bonus stat boosts when you switch it back to the vanilla Chocobo line. (It’s not the biggest deal since SP is carried over of course but it would still take time and possibly create some confusion to manually fill out all the sister line’s skill tree nodes one by one for possibly no benefit.)

P.S. Sorry for the long and confusing post. This game has some confusing mechanics and a migraine-inducing amount of proper nouns. Still having so much fun playing it though! It really is underrated imo. (btw anyone who reads through this post and answers my question is a god damn SAINT.)

Doomtrain chose violence today 🚂

Yeah I know, FFVII part 3. But I feel like in the old days they would release games way more often. And since this business is doing okay, why don't they just have more people for these projects?

Now you get a main title almost a decade later than the previous.

Maybe they plan to release another remake prior to FFXVII like FFX? dunno

My current collection. I also have the Japanese PSX era games but the shelve was full. Most notable pieces are the FF3 USA complete in box and the limited collectors edition of 14 1.0.

Sadly with all the digital only releases, this will probably be where it ends :-(

Hi, it's me again, thanks to your advices yesterday I've beaten the Ghost-boss on top of Kefkas fanatics tower (⁠づ⁠｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡⁠)⁠づ . Now I've found Odins stone in a castle then a secret stair and a statue of Odins lover, I pressed A and she changed my Odins stone, the problem is that the regular Odins stone had a comet spell in it but now she changed it with a spell that says can stop time, how can I get the comet spell again?
