@BruceCM I might have to dip into this sometime. I haven't purchased any of the ff games on the switch yet mostly due to price compared to other consoles. This one is roughly the same price as other consoles, but without the achievement system (which just adds something nice). I do have credit on my account so that makes this cheaper on switch overall. I rarely use the switch away from the tv.
We will see what happens. I will pick it up on something, sometime.
Still working on fire emblem as of now. Plus I preordered greedfall, so I might be busy for awhile.
@Magician
Any date release for FF VII & VIII physical ?
I suspect the PS4 & Xbox One version will get Three in One games (FF 7 + 8 + 9) after Switch version.
Gah, was hoping to get FF9 finished before FF8 came out but I have failed. Haven’t purchased fire emblem yet either. It’s tough being a switch JRPG fan at the moment. Shouldn’t complain though!
I would've bought it if it had FF9 too. Probably won't bother just FF7 and FF8 though. I'm hoping the FF7 remake will end up making the original FF7 obselete, although that might be wishful thinking.
I'm really struggling to get through FF X. I like the story, characters (in spite of the horrible voice acting), setting, areas, but there's just too many pace-breaking times that are also very badly designed.
The Blitzball was awful, and things like the Trial Cloisters are worse. I just did the Bevelle Trial, for example. I was 15 mins repeating the same track because the directional arrows wouldn't line up when I passed over them. Went different paths to change timing, reset it, mashed the buttons and out of pure chance I eventually got it. What a terrible design.
Pace breaking things like this make me lose interest and it sits unplayed for periodically. This is my first 'modern' Final Fantasy beyond VII and it's really turned me off getting the others if this is the type of things they have in them.
Sorry you're having such problems with it....
It's effectively hard to say about other modern FF games having 'things like that', though
Your recurring issue here is 'pace-breaking' & I have no idea what you might find to be that in FFIX or FFXII
@Cotillion
Don't worry about Blitzball.
Win or Lose will not affect the storyline of FF X.
After Blitzball first play, you will have battle with enemies and the story continues.
About Trial Cloister, you must get the Destruction spheres from the puzzle you must do inside each temples or you cannot get Anima as your summon and if you return to each temples you must facing with Almost Impossible to beat Dark Aeons.
Watch from Youtube for every Trials inside the temples.
I think I'll steer clear of the sequel and other modern Final Fantasy games now though. At least for a long while.
The only other game in the series that's anything like FFX in terms of its structure is FF13. 12 and 15 (and 13-2) are both massively different, and obviously all of the earlier games are very different too. So you shouldn't let not liking 10 affect much really.
