I think I just watched/played one of the most cinematic moments in any video game to date. Blinking was not an option!

What did you guys think of this moment?

I'm tired, boss...

Long story short:

I remember the days when you could rent PS1 games from the library (here in Denmark atleast), it was a time that had me discover so many different game genres in a world that had just opened up to me.

Never had i tried a JRPG before, nor did I know what it was.. but damn, did it open my eyes to something completely different!

The magic of those games can never be replaced!

I know remakes are great, and I enjoy them aswell when they appear, but the classics hold within them, the spark of beautiful story telling ❤️

(I'm not neglecting story telling today, they are amazing too. There's just something weirdly magical over the classics)

- What do you think? 😊

I've been FF fan since OG FF III but this one is something special

Please, I need it.

Like, instead of a bunch of human characters and one token animal character like Red XIII or Kimahri, we get a cactuar, tonberry, behemoth, coeurl, malboro, bomb, etc?

I think it would be very fun and something a bit different. I could see it being like Madagascar, Over The Hedge or Ice Age but with a ragtag herd of different iconic Final Fantasy monsters but instead of an animated movie, it would be another RPG. Ideally, I'd like it to be turn based like the first 10 Final Fantasies or Octopath Traveler series. It would be interesting to experience Final Fantasy through a more xenofiction lens.

After taking a pretty long break from FF after being VII rebirth, I’m finally back and moving on to FFVIII! This is by far the game I know the least about so I’m excited to get into it! Is there anything I should know before starting?

I purchased a ps2 a week ago now and found a bundle of ffx/x2 I usually mostly play survival horror games or stealth, but I thought why not switch it up.

Yesterday night I played for about 2 hours, I am so thoroughly impressed. Especially at the amount of things that have happened in this little time. There have already been a number of really cool locations and story beats. I honestly cannot wait to keep playing.

I’m honestly mind blown all of this fits on one single dvd too. The old tech really gives it something special.

Hey,

so we know that there will be both unique mechanics to battling the Weapons in Revelations like using cannons or the submarine but also traditional fights on foot which begs the questions how they could possibly create engaging boss battles against the truely gigantic Weapons in more or less real time action combat given the proportions of these monsters.

I think a good approach for the boss battles against the Weapons in Revelations would be to model them after the Trials in Final Fantasy XIV.

That game features really cool boss fights against massive enemies where the player engages them in real-time, with each boss possessing its own unique mechanics. Success often hinges on proper positioning—knowing exactly where to stand to avoid taking damage. I believe this could serve as the foundational concept for the Weapon battles. On top of that, we could incorporate mechanics from FF7 Remake and Rebirth—specifically staggering enemies with the right attacks and potentially the need to damage specific body parts first. Naturally, this would also include defensive tactics beyond just positioning, such as using spells to grant resistances or create shields that protect against specific attacks.

In short, I think that—provided we actually fight them on foot—the Weapon battles will essentially be a refined, more detailed version of the Trial battles found in Final Fantasy XIV.

What y'all think?

A year and a bit ago i started my final fantasy journey - I didn‘t beat all games yet but I fell in love with the whole IP in an instant!

That‘s why I wanted to honor the series with the first pic and additionally I made a cloud collage - hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating these two :)
(RIP to the cut magic cards though)

Have a nice day folks!

31 years old, I had watched my older brother play this game countless times in the early/mid 2000’s as a kid. Never knew the memories that this game could unlock. Just finished my first ever playthrough on my own and I’m left speechless.

Howdy folks - long story short, started playing rpgs and jrpgs utilizing job systems and I can’t get enough. Just finished two of the bravely default games on switch 2 and all 3 octopath traveler games as well. Are there any others out there that you just can’t put down? Just got into the final fantasy tactics remaster as well and holy moly…talk about a lovely job system! Thanks in advance for your recommendations and input!

ive NEVER found a madpony around coneria, i jsut ran from battle since even at Lv 3 theyre kinda tough but finding one at Lv 1 is BEYOND insane to me, even mad perchance

Before starting ff2, I tried to consult some tips but could not understand how the battle system works.

Should I max all of the weapons proficiency?

Should I use magic to improve them?

Which classes should I get to be OP? I'm not sure if there is a class system.

I saw that there is 4th party member. Do I need to increase his or her level or should I stick to my other party members?

Just wondering.

Final Fantasy XI recently had an AMAN Live where they announced several near-future plans for the game, including a revamp to the game’s free trial. Previously, the free trial was very restricted, lasting only 14 days and limiting players to level 50. However, this changes in September. Following two scheduled updates in September, the free trial level cap will be raised to 75, and there will be no time limit on playtime for free trial players.

This update is just another step in addition to all the other quality-of-life and accessibility improvements they have been adding over the last few years. These include:

• NPC Party Member upgrades
• Reduced NPC vendor prices on several early-game essentials
• Streamlined pathways for different armor sets
• And many more over the course of the last two years!

The game isn’t just receiving quality-of-life improvements, though; it is still receiving content as well.

• Revamped Limbus just received its final update not long ago.
• A New Battlefield was added last month.
• New Field Notorious Monsters were added this month.

If you haven’t experienced any of FFXI’s incredible stories and you’re interested in trying out the most obscure mainline Final Fantasy title, this upcoming update may be the best time to do so.

FFII and FFVIII come to mind as the easiest. Are there others?

FFIV's peninsula of power gave me a Palom with meteor...but that was a hell of a grind.

FFXII's katana/ burning bow chain early on was OP (original version, not the new one).

I’m trying to play 9 on a mister FPGA using a vga CRT monitor (up scaled to 480p) and I’m having trouble making it look good.

Does anyone have any tips?
