i did. maxed out shields on everyone before hitting the snow town. barely had 20 speed points. i'll have to look for my save file if it still exists for more specific numbers. i decided to just raise all of the other stats and Kenshiro my way through the fights.
I know, my point was that making remake in FF3/4 style made no sense for FF7 since the FF3/4 3D versions were made to look like FF7/9 with their chibi models in the first place.
I agree, and the cutscenes are also inconsistent, compare Shinra Tower bike FMV with reactor explosion cutscene.
Not my experience at all. I did that, and I was op for like ever. On the famicom version however. It's not easy though. Games back then weren't made to be easy. Grinding was expected, in fact, was the gameplay loop.
it would help quite a bit with the consistency and overall look of the game. the developers could also add in easter eggs, references, extra quests and stuff from the other parts of the 7 saga. instead, they rebuilt the game from the ground up and tried to pass off an alternate timeline adventure as a remake.
i was playing the psp version.
All I ever wanted was a good translation of the original game. Too bad Ted Woosley only worked on 3 games...
hopefully someone is out there working on a faithful translation of the script.
Check the repo.
Nah the game is honestly super linear. You just ask characters in towns about the keywords and if they know something they'll more or less tell you where to go directly (the first half or so of the game has cutscenes telling you exactly where to go too). The way that random encounters are designed in the overworld also really punishes you for straying even slightly off of the intended path since you run the risk of finding enemies far beyond your current level. The only thing that makes FF2 a slog are the dungeons due to the sections where you need to choose between 1 of 4 doors, with the others ranging from teleporting you to random places or placing you in high encounter rate rooms. Still, it isn't the end of the world and if that's all you're using a guide for then it isn't a big deal.
i looked. there is an english patch for the nes version. romhacking dot net lists the release date as 18 June 2020.
the problem is that you're thinking like a logical, grown up person. most of us played these when we were younger. i rarely talked to npcs in games. i never knew about the machop trade in pokemon gold until i got my aunt into playing the game and i was helping her out with her playthrough. i only talked to the specific characters in ff2 when the game mention them and i think i still got stuck when you bring back fake hilda for awhile.
they are probably looking to invest in what are considered "guaranteed hits" which calls a lot into question. ff7 sold like crazy, but mainly because of timing. launch title at the advent of3-d gaming.
weren't we talking about 2? that's a retranslation of 7.
what does yoshi p have to do with rebirth lmao
Alright, what does Yoshi-P have to do with the games being flashy action games since that's been a staple of the series? Many directors/producers before him have done this I just found it curious why is he being named. Tetsuya Nomura and Hajime Tabata did this, to a more extreme degree.
To be fair, I didn’t really get what you meant by mentioning Yoshida initially either, it just came off as rather vague. There have been FF action games before, just not mainline (unless you count 15).
