yeah, i guess, but the stack mechanic feels like it should have more to it, like a switching mirages bettwing stacks, in my opinion it would make the game play a little more interesting, it might br becouse i've played the game several times thogh, i would also apreciate more mirageboards tipes, they feel a little repetitive, i'm not asking for unique ones for every mirages but to like change a little bit, some feel like they have a little filler, like baby bahamuth having counter disspell, it weastes a lot of mp but he was quite good if i rememver, also the ost is really good, the main theme is a banger (inocent2) and the youtube play list has like 100 songs, and i feel like the plot could be a little better but i really like what we have, aslo i love the art stile a lot, everithing looks so cute or cool, i will protect mandragora and refia with my life, and in my opinion mirajewels feel kinda weird, you get so many useless ones or just stats up, and i would like to have some skills for the twins, it would feel a little better if mirajewels gave you some skills and stats from the mirage you get it from, but severlly nerfed to not have way too many skills, like mandragora for example, it could give you poisontouch, leaf dagger, stregnth+ and agility+ and they could also affect elemental and aliment resistances like, fire-10 earth+10 wind-5 and water+5, meaby i added a little too much but i hope the point gets across (yes i have a lot to talk about regarding world of final fantasy)

originally, there wasn't a stacking mechanic. that came about because the main artist making the concept designs was tired of drawing the chibi characters on separate pieces of paper and just started drawing them stacked on top of one another. the team leader saw that and decided on making that the main game mechanic.
you can switch mirages between battles, but it would make for more interesting battles to be able to swap during battle, like in ffx.
i would say that woff takes more inspiration from the older pokemon games in regards to the mirage boards. in pokemon red and blue, you were meant to regularly update your team, with your starter being the one most likely to stay on your team most of the time. i noticed that several mirages seemed like they were meant to be permanent on your team like the summons or the more rememberable enemies like the marlboro or tonberry. others are more situational or just there to fill out the world and be exp fodder.
some of the jewels can combine with mirage spells to get stronger ones, like fire + fire jewel creates fira. some of them are just meant for the early game like the stat boosting ones. i ended up giving healing spells to the twins since my mirages generally covered the elemental spells and attacks.

i would like to know peoples opinions on world of final fantasy, it was the first final fantasy game i bate and i love it a lot, i don't think it's nostalgia, i love almoust everithing about the game, i can only think ONE complain to the top of my head and it's that the stack mechanic feels somewhat useless to be out of, the only thing i think it might be usefull for it to spam items when you have a bunch of them, including fenix downs becouse if i rememver correctlly stats suck out of stack

I haven't played it myself, I just know that the-Tama exists, and I can't the-stand his the-verbal tic.

i didn't know that that is a really cool fact, and my complain with mirajewels is more having 7 scan ones and little usefull ones, or you get them too late in game for it to matter, my main strategy for the game was having reynn as a damege with force and magitek beam+ to kill enemies wile lann healed

balancing game mechanics can be hard. you want the player to use it, but not to rely to much on it too much or see it as being worthless. i do remember getting a few copies of the lower level spell jewels. it would be different if the mirages could equip them too, since the jewels stack with other copies of the spell if the mirages know them. but if you give the player too many powerful jewels too early on, there wouldn't be much of a challenge. it could make players lose interest. having a lot of the jewels does allow for players to come up with interesting challenges, like using only the jewels for spells or a no jewel run challenge.
it might help if there was a shop or a forge where you could take weaker jewels and trade them in or power them up or combine them. you could fuse fire and sleep for a nice combo attack or water and lighting to deal more/extra damage to an enemy.

Some weeks ago i was attending a chemistry class and one substance had Phoe when i saw that i was gonna scream PHOENIX DOWN.

Today we got to a thing called ether i was about to ask if this ether regenerates your mana

i definetlly agree with the forge one, and now that i think about it fusing two mirajewels together would feel atleast for me a little too similar to kigndom hearts birth by sleep/3d, were you get comands as skilss and you can fuse them, if it worked a little more like in those games i wouldn't mind having the stat up ones be a secondary thing and having a bigger focus on having skills, also having more spells and abilityes tied to mirajewels, like having some specific mirage skills be tied to a specific twin like reynn beeing able to equip stab but lann not

i don't play kingdom hearts, so i wasn't aware of that. maybe if there is a second game, they can expand more on the abilities and let the monsters and characters have armor and weapons too. maybe even use a similar mechanic to disgaea with the magichange system, where monsters become weapons and combine their stats with another character for a few turns per battle.

funnly enugh i haven't played that much disgea, i got to the ice zone and the first game and left it there, i should play it again some time, and id there is a second game i would like the equipment sistem to be more simple, like only 2 accesories for each mirage and the main characters having a little more equipment, needint to manege equipment of 6 units minimum might turn a little annoing

Hey I have a Quick Question for you all, I have the lunar ips patches for the color and sound restoration for ff6 advance, are they compatible with each other? and can i apply both to the same rom?

 

[Sheepy765]

Does the number include re-released games? If so that means way less games , final fantasy games aren't the sort of games you would go back to each year so replaying re-released is kinda meh if you ask me like i already played FF1 why would i play GBA or PSP version? Just play the most up to date that is PR and no need to play every single iteration of FF1

It likely does, but I’ve heard somewhere that the number of unique games is still over 70.

you should be able to. the program should let you know if there was a problem applying the patch. if it doesn't, then you'll know when you start the game up and play it for a few minutes.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

And if we count that each game at least is 25-45 hours long.... Hmmm a full year may not be enough to play every FF game out there

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Was snooping around a bit and happened to stumble upon this

It uses a remix of FF5 battle theme now now did i only care about the music being from FF5? yes did square convince me to play FF14? YES , am i this superficial to the point hearing a remix of a song from a game you love is enough to make me play your game? HELL YES

I'll get into XIV one of these days. What I'd really like though is a mod of XI that makes it friendly to solo-players.

Doesn't XI mean 11? Yeah i have taken a promise upon myself to play ever FF game but 14 being constantly updated and has lots of content I'm keeping it for last when I finish everything else only then would FF14 be playable cuz it seems it needs lots of time investment.

Maybe we 2 jump on it and spread the blight of erotic roleplay

 

[snes9x]

Oh I'm sure that blight's already well spread lol

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

No no we will target certain innocent players and new comers turn them into coomers then dissappear from their lives

It kind of is already, what with the Trust (NPC companions) systems and all that jazz.
Still has a big learning curve, is really obtuse, and requires a subscription. I’ve only ever put time in one of those ”classic private servers” but I had a really good time since it was really new and had lots of players like me.

I suggest checking out ApatheticAJ’s series on FFXI on YouTube. It’s really digestible and he seems to do most of his stuff solo with Trusts.

The good parts of XIV are REALLY good.
The bad parts however are massive stinkers. Overall it’s a neat game even though I’m on a break from it atm.

Hope you have fun!

Its a very old mmo but its pretty ok to play single player these days.
My older sister was obsessed with it back in the day.

Dang, that's a great remix!! I love FFV too. Too bad I couldn't get into FFXIV, I sold my soul to PSO a long time ago Where I can listen to this remix outside the game?

 

[Urpazurpa]

i've been plaing ffV and i would love it to have a remake similar to the ff VII one, krile and bartz are areally funny and i think that this game would be perfect for a remake, if i rememver correctlly there were plans to make a remake on the 3ds (i could be wrong), and in all honesty i just want the remake becouse this game is funny as hell

FF5 is indeed GOATED dunno probably the remix can be found on YT , wait what's PSO?

I think a 3d remake for all the first 6 games would be great especially 2 and 6

I was really disappointed V and VI never got a DS remake like they did for IV

Also, playing through Dirge of Cerberus. It's certainly... something. Anyone who complains about the Remake series butchering VII's lore should rewatch Advent Children and play DoC. That ship sailed long ago.

crisis core is the only good part of the ff7 mini series.

I was so waiting for that. I hoped to see these overrated classics making the transition to glorious low poly 3D. Much shouting on the streets, but I would've loved some low poly VI tbh. And the forums would've been glorious.
Still, what a waste it was to do 3D on the DS and 2D on PSP. The platforms should've been inverted for those.
