Topic: Final Fantasy VII, IX, X, X-2 and XII - Now with 80% more FF VIII

@BruceCM yep it was great. Yea ill be getting paper mario and xenoblade. Although i have worn myself out with jrpgs lately lol.
@Snaplocket nice I'm really looking forward to it. Might not be for a while though.
@komodo182 sweet I hear alot of great things about the game.
@DenDen absolutely! So yea my next game I'll start will be xenoblade, or possibly Mario and luigi super star saga. I'm currently playing through paper mario at the moment, so I'll probably be juggling those 3 games by next week.

Paper Mario should be different enough, though, @NintendoByNature .... I'm looking forward to Xenoblade, though!

@BruceCM yea I'm looking forward to It, but I am a bit intimidated if I'm being honest. Game seems extremely large and expansive. Botw was really the only large game that didn't overwhelm me.

I've seen game explains and NL's break down of the Game, and some of my worries are at ease( quick travel and map markers, easy to navigate mission list as well as whats a side quest). So maybe it won't be that tough to tackle it, but i do struggle with large games like this that take a while to complete.

Having said all that, i still am excited to try it out for the first time.

I ran into some sort of Ladybug monster in IX last night that just wanted some Ore, so I gave it to them and earned like 20 AP.

Sadly, there's only one of those, @RR529 .... Sounds like you're doing well, though

@RR529 There are a bunch of monsters that ask for stuff and give ap

@Snaplocket I think X2 is unplayable myself. So we differ there.

Got to play for a bit of a longer time today. Cleared the Ifia Tree, seemingly stopping the Mist, beat a mercenary after us, and learned more about Garnett/Dagger. Now I have to make the hard decision of which party member(s) I don't want to use as I have more than 4 for the first time (and due to the game's age, I doubt exp will be shared with party members not in battle).

That Ifia Tree boss was something, though. Every time it started out casting that party wide death spell and the little girl was the only one who'd survive. Luckily during my second attempt I was able to get my party back in fighting shape & it didn't use it again.

SPOILER ALERT-how do I use spoiler tags on this site again?
@RR529 If you ever replay, you can easily kill the soulcage by casting life

@komodo182
Type this
(spoiler)text(/spoiler)
Replace the ( ) with [ ]

@Anti-Matter Thanks. I don't know why I can't remember that. I always want to use < and > instead.

That doesn't help it killing your party before anyone gets a turn, though .... Which can be avoided if you know about it in advance but if you're playing without a guide is purely luck of the draw

@BruceCM I didn't know it my first playthrough. I bought a guide on my 5th or 6th playthrough to see what I was missing haha.

Yeah, I was lucky with my party 1st time & only had one person affected .....

The card game in IX is absolute bulls***. No matter how many times I try it I can't get past the second round because at some point the game decides that my opponent can combo all my cards into oblivion, and no matter what I do it only lets me take one at a time.

@RR529 It can be hard.

@komodo182, after actually reading up on what all the stats mean online I got through the card tournament without much trouble, but I feel it was pretty badly explained in the game itself.

@RR529 it is poorly explained imo.

Crystal chronicles still coming next month I assume. Its digital only right? Does anyone know what the price tag is? Hoping its not too much for a digital only release

Got 2 FF Switch releases this week:

Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon
Physical release imported from Asia. What a cute little game. Having played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and getting used to the way these games works, it feels easy to get into this.

Final Fantasy IX
This is the only (?) FF game on Switch that hasn't received a physical release, so I thought I could spend some saved Gold Points now that it's discounted on the eshop. So it basically cost me nothing. I've only played for an hour, but I have a feeling that this will be an excellent adventure.
