Topic: Final Fantasy 6 Switch

@BruceCM With III, the main thing I've heard is that some suggest playing the game all the way up until the last dungeon, then quitting due to the sheer difficulty. It could be the impressions I read refer to earlier versions of the game, however. There's something about a lack of save points as well in a difficult spot? Details are muddier on that.

@Ralizah I have heard decent things about III's job system and summons. It's mainly the difficulty and grindiness that puts me off. Not that I don't want a game to be somewhat challenging, and I don't mind some grinding in JRPGs, but it sounded like a bit too much of both for my preferences.

I am interested in that Dawn of Souls collection and will look into it. Thanks for mentioning it!

Ah, that's probably the DS version, @Tyranexx.... Unfortunately, there's no save points in the dungeons No auto-save, either. Most of the final dungeon isn't that terrible but it is quite long
They added autosave to the Android/ios ports, though

@BruceCM See, the lack of save points/auto-save is a bit of a dealbreaker for me due to how my schedule works sometimes. I used to be able to play video games for hours on end; not so much these days. XD Darn adulting....

Might look into the Android port at some point however.

There is a quick-save, that works well for breaks, @Tyranexx.... But no use if you get killed With Android /ios ports, you can also do the extra content if you want, though & with the option to upload your save-data, as a backup, too

@BruceCM Ugh, I dislike those kinds of quick saves lol. One of the turn-offs of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games for me was how that worked.

Sounds like the Android port will be my go-to when I get around to trying III! ...Though when is a big question mark right now.

Well, they do work for taking a break, @Tyranexx.... At least I'd be around to advise & guide, if needed, too Although the summons look cool, in III, I wouldn't actually suggest using them, though

@BruceCM I'll keep you in mind if I get stuck when playing FF.

Well, got to start one 1st, @Tyranexx ....

@BruceCM Now if only I could make up my mind on which one....Still stuck between VI and X lol.

VI, of those 2, @Tyranexx .... Not played that for awhile, so I wouldn't mind replaying it with you

@BruceCM I intentionally don't know much about VI, other than the fact that it features the evil clown trope. XD

So, is that what we're playing, @Tyranexx....? Starting when?

@BruceCM I...honestly have no idea yet. XD Definitely sometime after Xenoblade Chronicles. We'll see what my backlog looks like after that lol.

What are you playing until Xenoblade, then, @Tyranexx .... ?

@BruceCM I'm trying to finish up Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. I'm at the second-to-last chapter but want to spend a little time grinding my better units since I'm playing on Hard.

I've also started Batman: The Telltale Series as a short interlude game. I've never played a Telltale game, so these choices may warrant future replays.

Oh, cool, @Tyranexx .... You not played Conquest or Revelations yet, then? I played those back when I had a 2DS

@BruceCM I played through the Conquest side a couple of years ago; I originally wasn't going to get Birthright but couldn't resist when I found it on clearance for $19 a few months ago. I don't think I'll ever bother with Revelation since it's DLC-only. Unless I ever decide to sell a kidney for a cartridge with all three paths, of course. XD

Oh, right, so you'll be finished with those after this, then, @Tyranexx .... What's after that, then?

@BruceCM On 3DS? No idea yet.

@BruceCM what are you playing atm?
