i think your best bet for this idea is to just remake the game in another engine that can support that kind of stuff. rpg maker might work, or build something from the ground up. you would need to heavily modify the game engine of the first 6 games to support having more animations during combat encounters.

Yes its why as much of a cool idea it is , its just impossible to do.

Btw how is the FFT playthrough going?

i stopped for a little, had to work on some art requests for a few people on devianart, and then i got distracted by pikmin again. i am currently at the part where you rescue delita's sister and my party is around level 25.

That means you are at end of chapter 1 and at level 25? Bro that's crazy! I beaten the game at level 36 or 37

it's a habit that i picked up from disgaea; being ridiculously over leveled. you can typically beat those games at level 80 for the story, but you usually need to be maxed level to handle the post game stuff.

I think it sorta removes challenge from the game and requires immense amounts of grinding I don't it necessary to grind like that.

it's not intentional for the final fantasy games; and it's mandatory for disgaea. the people who make that series are the ones who would sit down and play final fantasy and dragon warrior and other games and try to max out all of the stats for their characters.

Yea I don't like grinding especially forced grinding and especially SLOW grinding its tedious.

The player himself should decide whether he wants to grind or not it should never be a design choice but that's how I see it.

yeah, it should be more natural for characters to get xp at reasonable amounts during regular combat encounters along the story's path. that seems to be the main reason that i don't like playing dragon warrior games. you get so little xp at the beginning. especially in dragon warrior monsters 2.
in every disgaea game, you can level up from lv 1 to the max in a single battle with some set up before hand.

Ultima Weapon is a recurring antagonist right?

It varies.
Sometimes it's a boss, sometimes it's the best weapon for a character.

I see. The one in VI was added in a re-release?

Iirc, it's always been a boss in FF6. In the old translation it was known as Atma Weapon.

Rumors seem to be swirling once again about the release of the FFIX remake. Apparently a user posted months ago about seeing "Final Fantasy IX Timeless Tale (Remake)" in their job's computer system. Two months later and that name is on the vinyl.

Damn what a shame FF2 Isnt the one getting a REMAKE.

Imagine what can be done with that game i can already think of few stuff we never see rebel armies fighting VS army of palamecia i would like to see that , you can add a section where you need to defend altair from ground attack by palamecia , you can make a mini section where you control the wind drake and hack down palamecian troops , this can happen when you ride into the tornado , also this Isnt entirely needed but a mechanic like FFT soldiers would be cool to have this mini RTS where you take control of towns occuiped by palamecia or you can go out and help rebel troops in few side quests.

These are just few ideas atop of my head of how a FF2 remake can be done , it needs this dark Fantasy style you know some gore wont hurt at all to make the game as grim as possible.

Damn square enix hire me already

FF2 has all the right cards to be THE best FF game it just needs a team of people who know what they are doing.

Trust me when i say FF2 has what it got to be the best FF game ever.

Sorry if I’m remembering wrong, but are you the one who’s a somewhat new fan to the series?

Yes milord , I been playing nothing but FF since september 2024

Then it makes sense.
FF2 is often regarded being among the three weakest mainline games in the series (usually 2, 8 and 13 but this is in no way a rule or anything). I’m kind of inclined to agree, but it’s always fun to see the impressions of new fans, I think.

Before anyone jumps me, I don’t think any mainline FF is outright bad, some are just better than others.
