Lightning Returns XIII-3

[Spira]

sort of. you kill them in the field, not in battle, so you don't get EXP or items. its just a less simple / more conditional way of having no encounters

[hey]

Most any FF game you can win any fight that's non-boss by only spamming attack. Hell, in the previous games I spammed attack even with my mages. In least in Dimensions you can equip your mages with bows to at least to half-decent damage.

Sometimes I wish there was a setting to only pop up a post-battle screen with exp and items received based on the characters only using Attack, with a "Replay" button under it so that you can replay the battle manually if you so wish. Would save a lot of time from all of the trash monsters you don't give a fuck about - especially when walking through an old area with mobs 50 levels below you for whatever reason.

Hell, in Final Fantasy 1 (I think?) one of the best setups in the game was a party of monks with a single red mage. And remember to not equip the monks with a weapon, since they do more damage bare-handed than with an actual weapon. Could beat the entire game just by spamming "Attack", with the occasional heal from your Red Mage.

All Final Fantasy games have been absurdly easy and beatable by spamming Attack. Final Fantasy XIII wasn't the first of its kind, nor is it the last. I mean, FFVII could be beat with Omnislash, or Knights of Round. You could beat the hardest boss in the game with a single move, and yet a lot of people regard it as the best FF game.

At least bosses in Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XII required a little bit of strategy on bonus bosses, and even on some normal bosses and mobs.

No, you're right. It's pretty typically of most all rpgs really. It was just more disappointing in 13, because the battle system is really awesome, but you don't usually get to really use it.

[Carth]

I think Carth meant the Triangle action trigger button, but I could be wrong. And I won't lie KH (All of them) is pretty easy on normal mode but hard and proud mode are definitely challenges, especially the secret bosses

Yes, I meant reaction commands.

And KHII was piss easy unless it was on Critical Mode. If anyone had problem with that game I dunno what to say to you.

Leaked screenshot:

Can't tell if that's just ugly checkerboard motif of this new setting or if that's just early-build no-texture development checkerboard.

[The Stig]

Is that the FFXIII-2 model of her there? I assume it's placeholder-ish.

[SephYuyX]

Looks like a typical SE debug room, but the map seems to say otherwise.

[Spira]

not really leaked, it was in their video of them panning around the dev office

The latter.

[Bregor]

I know, but going from "fully-fledged party member" to "cameo" isn't that far away. I was looking forward to have Vanille and Fang in my party again after FFXIII-2, guess it's not happening.

Fang or GTFO.

Fang or GTFO.

Needs more Fang Fantasy 13.

Snow needs to star in a FF just so I can see the massive amount of butthurt from the Final Fantasy community. I think a Snow FF would be good if it was framed like an 80's action movie, though.

FFXIII:Miami Vice

Snow and Gadot would make a pretty good Miami Vice. And by good I mean God-awful.

[AoE]

So bad, it's good.

Best friend and I were chatting tonight about FF spin offs, and you know, I think the next FF spin off they should do is 8-2.

Before the FF8 haters come at me, hear me out.

8-2 is about Squall's goal to take his triple triad game to the next level. Go around the world doing nothing but engaging in epic Triple Triad battles. Maybe even fighting a monster here or there for some special card.

Want to get crazier? You can throw in future/past time travel for him to find even rarer cards.

You can't tell me this wouldn't sell.

Permanent Random rule.

This would make an amazing PSN/Xbox Live game.

Edit: To clarify I mean a Triple Triad game, not necessarily the idea listed above.

[miokomioko]

I thought that was a big pile of sarcasm. Good god that sounds horrible to me.

[Pharaun]

0/10 would not play

Edit: Which is really saying something because I loved 8 and enjoyed Triple Triad, but trying to make an entire RPG based around it just sounds horrible.
