FF Newbie Plays FF7 Remake

[Stiggie]

And there's the platinum.

Okay, will be playing FF IX shortly.

If you catch up to me and my mate AGAIN I'll never forgive you
We're halfway in disc 3 btw.

CHALLENGE. ACCEPTED.

I'll talk to you after you've played t he jump rope.

Edit:

I've heard nightmare stories about a certain jump rope mini-game. Literally the only thing I know about FF IX besides some character names.

Ahhh, so you know, I honestly think I don't even have that achievement, and I have a programmable keyboard that I used to automate the entire process.

Your penchant for clearing these games so quickly continues to impress

Ah, it's 'cause I'm just too good

Just kidding, I had a fair bit of trouble with hard mode. Finding out that I missed a bunch of manuscripts made me feel like I sucked less, lol.

I'll try to do it legit for that FF street cred lmao

Well, I just checked and I DO actually have the jumprope achievement, which means that I should really platinum this game since the rest is nothing in comparison. I've actually done all the other ones, only before "steam" or "achievement" were a thing.

Are you playing on ps4 or steam? Because IF you're playing on steam, I do recommend Moguri mod.

PS4. I'll probably cave and build a gaming PC one of these days

Yeah man, for FFIX you'll need at least a geforce RTX 3090

Lmao yeah totally

 

[Sephiroth Crescent]

Since you mentioned playing other FFs...

FF4 and 5 do await you as well.

So after you're done with them... care to check on Lost Odyssey?



You can't escape destiny.

 

[ForceStealer]

I wish they would port that damn game to...anything

You mean Lost Ody, right? They should've at least put it on Windows (since it's MS IP). It can still be played (enhanced) on the new Xbox.

 

[JBedford]

It is on like every Xbox because Microsoft don't suck at backwards compatibility. I bought a 360 cheap just to play Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey (and to get Nier and some other games cheaper). Though Blue Dragon suffers from terrible slowdown on 360.

I second FFV as a good FF to play. Although I don't know how best to play it because the Steam character sprites are terrible.

 

[ForceStealer]

Yeah I want them to put it on the Windows MS store. Buying an xbox for this one game was always a little much for me, unless I come across one for real cheap at some point I guess. But I'd rather just buy it on windows.

Emulating the GBA version, really. And you can buy the GBA cartridge if you need to assuage any principles

 

[Sephiroth Crescent]

As for 4, take the PSP version or NDS version (both are worthwhile).
On its respective portable machines, of course.

 

[Deleted member 13557]

Goal is to get to all of them, and then rank them.

No need, they already come with numbers!

 

[Sephiroth Crescent]

and then rank them

I wonder if you'll be able to do that for the top 3. Will you earn such achievement?
I rather rank them by tiers myself.

I would think the Excalibur II achievement is harder...then again I never tried to get it.

But our new friend here seems to have speedrunner potential. Let's believe in him!
Anyway, there's guides out there.
Though I don't think those'll help him with rage-inducing input-laggy rope jumping... (on the Switch) Oh, well. At least it was doable on the PS1.

 

[ForceStealer]

I wouldn't recommend going for Excalibur II on a first playthrough, if ever. You shouldn't rush through all the story stuff that you're actually playing the game for, lol.

 

[Deleted member 13557]

I'm going to play through and enjoy the game first. If I really like it, I'll go for the platinum.

 

[Tetsujin]

Haven't started FFIX on PS4 yet but...I do intend to cheat the fuck out of the jumprope and Excalibur II trophies
Excalibur II should be easy because you can use the in-game boosters and the speedup one does not actually make the in-game clock run faster.

For the jumprope I think there is a way to cheat it by using remote play and some script or something, I'mma have to google that again at some point

It's not that hard, you just need to know the game and be willing to spend the time. I have a run going that's actually pretty good. Anytime I did a session of gaming with my mate, I'd speedrun it afterwards, got to disc 2 in about 2 hours I think. (Using speed up at times).
