Turning on Turbo mode made the hot and cold game so much more tolerable; I'm not sure I would have stuck with it in the original. I bought SaGa Frontier Remastered and I'm trying to wrap everything up so I can go past the point of no return but I'm only 6 Chocographs in...

My mom turned off my PS2 I had paused at 192 lightning strikes dodged when it was paused and I was at school.

Bruh... That's absolutely terrible.

Yeah I was doing FF10 HD a few years back and stopped when I got to the ultimate weapon quests.

**kuronosan** · 2021-05-08 13:32

Ultimate weapon quests weren't so bad in X. Definitely became the last of the "oh so you want awesome weapon better jump through hoops" tropes on the non MMO games.

**Gredival** · 2021-05-08 13:38

Like I'm a completionist, but when it comes to single player content there's a limit on the ridiculousness of the hoops I will jump through for the benefit of getting to beat down on the AI better. And a sufficiently bad hoop may dissuade me from finishing the game at all.

Now if the actual goal of the game was a competition between players to jump better than each other, that's a different story.

when i replayed a couple months ago i did all the weapons except lulu. got to 60 something jumps, screwed up, then said “whatever magic sucks in monster arena anyway”

Where I worked when I've been stationed on boats (I've so far spent all my time at underway units on only the one platform, which is sadly now entirely decommissioned), the landing platform for the helo was like 5 feet above my head.

Freaked the hell out of my most of my coworkers and they would never hang out in there, but I always liked it since it meant no was gonna fucking bother me in there since they secured the entire back half of the boat during helo ops.

I’m redoing ffx atm. I still appreciate.

Gonna make my son try to do the lightning strikes when I get to the end.

There's an area where you can get a consistent pattern for the lightning jumps. That's how I did it when I unlocked everyone's ultimate weapon.

Nothing in FFX was hard at all.

Just used an app to catalogue my entire comic collection, 3905 comics.

Correct, but shit was ridiculously tedious.

**Starby** · 2021-05-09 06:34

Best thing about my recent ffx playthough was playing on pc with the mod that everyone got exp every fight, instead of having to constantly swap people in to take actions every fight to get credit. It really helped tone down the grind

And I'm also in the 'never got Lulu's weapon' club. Lightning dodging is tedious and frustrating
