I also love story games, but I almost never make time for gaming. Any indie story games you want to recommend? Welcome :)

Fair point! Maybe I don’t pay much attention to it because FF battle scenes are always kind of “outside” of the story and I like the hard-boiled “you’re all scrubs without materia” conceit, but I can’t deny that the word “willpower” is used to justify things in the script, and that may as well...

Going only by the original game’s scripts (I’m working w the English and French translations) my takeaway is that the spiritual part of FF7’s story is meant to contribute to the thematic subject of the environment, the idea being that no part of us is separate from nature, and the cycle of...

My objection to playing upside down was so handily addressed by that video. Now I really want a physical game board. I would definitely want the monsters and stuff on it, although using the photoshop files as a template you could make all sorts of custom decks that don't skirt copyrighted...

The one destroy card I have in my deck, which I have been using to great effect, is Grand Horn. This keeps the basic 1 power “spread” cards relevant in my deck because I can just replace them if Grand Horn appears in my hand. It’s also useful if/when the enemy gets their red markers right next...

My strat is generally yeah cut the enemy off in two lanes, then boost my existing cards as much as possible. Mu and Choco/Mog are great for that, as are levrikon and Kalm fang (who have the added bonus of having 2 power). I haven’t really employed destroy mechanics yet, seems like it would feel...

I wiped the floor with everyone in the Grasslands, but the folks in Junon have really stumped me. I’m still in Chapter 4, here’s what I’ve learned just from exploring. Wish you could select what song you’d like to play during the matches. I like the pre-game music when you’re choosing which...

Welcome!

I thought about bumping my last “I’m going dark until I finish the game” thread, but it aged like milk lol, not only am I (a) the wrong gender but also I (b) said I wasn’t going to continue with the series (see below) (c) said I wasn’t going to disrupt conversations with my Debbie Downerism (I...

Amazing video!! Love the editing and the boss runs. And hell yeah to the Black Materia album, one of the greats.

This is a great series!! Other blind runs that I’ve heard of are LaZBoi? Havent seen it but I did see his FF9 playthru later (Remake was his first FF and then he went back and played em all from 1 apparently) https://www.youtube.com/live/81Wbg42vdVA?si=wBHF8F2djkGfUs0z

Damn what a phoenix down! Love that the forums are getting lots of activity. Yay for a bumping community! Here’s some sexy tunes I’ve enjoyed the last few years: And for those who think cute is sexy:

woink woink woink woink woink, bt-t-tlee-w!

There are a few mods that do this yes, but not tailored to my specific tastes 🤪😈🥸. When the whole soundtrack is remade via Ever Crisis, it will be time to make the music mod. Sound overhaul mods tend to do too much, I’m just looking to replace the duck.

The Limit Break mod is the mod I’ve been waiting for. Combined with the shadows mod and the Ninostyle chibis (both in the video) it cleanly fulfills my dream of a fully updated visual presentation of FF7’s fields and minigames. The Gaia mod, however, I never saw coming and is truly awe...

....except it didn't? There was a whole other scene with him hanging off the side of the building and monologing with a gun and then Barret gets stabbed too and there's a Jenova boss battle and then the ghosts bring Barret back to life and then Sephiroth flies around with a clone and commits...

A shameless capitalist venture using technology to profit off of an actor after their death? That would be the first really prescient piece of political commentary FF7R has done so far.

Lately I’ve been posting my thoughts on Discord where they are less permanent and therefore less embarrassing for future me, but since people like to screenie me for posterity anyway, I figure I’ll just do it first:

DFFOO gave me years of enjoyment, which I suppose would place it in my Top 10 all time Final Fantasies haha. It’s definitely the best gacha game I’ve ever played, to the point where it hurts to even call it one. RIP.

Just allow me to buy the digital soundtrack and I’ll be happy
