i've enjoyed and gotten something out of each of the FF games i've played (4,5,6,7,8,9, tactics). i kind of stopped at ff10 (couldn't get past the main character voice and style. i thought it was the culmination of the fruity anime femboy creeping into my vidya). though i hear it has a good story. then played 14.

I really miss the turn based aspect, and kind of came to grips with the fact that FF don't want to make tactical choices anymore. they want to make movie style action. so i'll just have to wait on dragon quest, and play triangle strat and other games in it's sphere.

Definitely seems like there won't be a pure turn based FF for awhile, although I'd push back on the idea on not having tactical choices anymore.

lol skill issue

shitty Celes? The only character in the game stronger than her is Edgar, although Terra surpasses her in the WoB since trance still matters back then.

I'm not saying this game is hard, its the opposite if anything lmao everything has been auto-battle steam roll levels of easy.
the amount of swing and miss gimmick mechanics in this game is just a nuisance more than anything. The veldt alone is probably the worst mechanic i've seen in a FF game

celes is just very underleveled at this point which again is just a nuisance more than anything but whatever i'm sure it'll get better lol

If you haven't put in any time with her she's not some powerhouse or anything. She's got generally alright stats with a good magic skill and some natural spell casting. Depending on where you are that raw Ice 3 unlock at 42 can be pretty baller. If you want her auto attacks to be good that takes levels and gear and if you want her magic to be crazy that also takes levels and gear and if you want her to do everything that's also levels and gear.

The only thing you that really distinguishes characters is their unique ability and their innate stats before eidolon leveling bonuses. Iirc Celes has an even higher magic stat than Terra, only Relm has higher and she comes too late in the WoB to be worth using unless you want everything to screech to a halt while you grind up her spell library. Sketch is always worthless, Trance is basically worthless by the time you get Terra back in the WoR, whereas Runic never stops being 'sort of useful but never really necessary except for that one specific boss fight'.

I made the mistake of trying the Gau rage that entices against deathgaze.

I see this thing actually trivializes everything so I’ll avoid that abuse lmao

I will probably end up keeping celes in my party now and end up boosting edges’ HP and give him the ultima weapon for shits n giggles

The game forces you to use her and her OP ability.

It's on you if you saw Runic and one of only two magic users and though "nah I'll use Gau and farm his shitty mechanic I hate"

Gau is by far the strongest character up to the WoR and even then with how insane the rufflesia rage is theres no question that he isnt just completely broken lol
but yeah sure Runic is great and mandatory on many fights, it doesnt make it interesting though

Either way im enjoying it again now that i have the airship and shit back in the WoR, and she'll stay in my party from now on

Use any guides to make any, lets say, 2 characters OP and the game gets to be lulz level of fun but stupid. I did so at the end, I played it through normal - however stopping to get some hard to get or missables like the gau thing.

My new game + are not keeping ultima weapons from the final kefka fight, even letting all the credits roll etc... sad...

You can make your people stupid strong and basically 2-3 round Kefka

Yeah I've bought all those games at least once or twice already. In fact I think I may have bought 4 different versions of FF4. I wouldn't give money for them again even if they got a full FF7 remake treatment.

The remaster we all needed.



I didn't expect much but this is pretty goddamn cool. Usually with things like this I feel like they should leave well enough alone because a 3D interpretation would clash with my imagination and how I envisioned the game, as happened with most of FF7R. However they were spot-on with how I imagined a lot of this, like the Phantom Forest:

Now I want to see this game actually exist on the PS6 with Unreal Engine 5.

Celes is impossibly hot in this. Trounces Tifa, which I didn't know was possible. Course that's subjective and fighting words.

There is a similar remake trailer for FF4:

It’s a shame they censored the already cut Celes prison scene… as the original already was cut back to imply, the remakes and remaster cut it even more. It takes the impact out of her story, she was /stripped/ of her command, and EVERYTHING and just left locked up with 2 guards to do with as they please before her execution…

Why was the one guard left, then why was he asleep? Brohime did the deed, took a smoke and fell asleep post nut nap time.

She is then saved by Locke, seeing her in this condition… the lowest, exposed, broken… how is she to recover? Slowly she does… somehow, and yet- the one that saw her and knows of where she has been, could he love her?

The Kafka blows up the friggen world and she is alone, saved again for some reason by someone who knows of and in this case most likely did the process magic infusion to her, the evils of her past… then he dies…

Her suicide is a culmination, she should have been dead back in the cell, Locke and everyone is dead…

But no, the now version is she was not chained, she just kinda stood there and let them maybe punch her, then they just up and got sleepy.

Also, those 3d trailers are great, i am sure they must have used art and some of the existing cgi as seeds and base images etc.

Still awesome

Celes's story is one of the best ones in Final Fantasy, that's some great character development.

Totally agree with the green swimsuit knight outfit, the yellow amano art outfit isn't as good imo.

Diving Suit Rikku isn't far behind imo and maybe Garnet.

We should do a FoH FF Waifu Tier List.

lol do the tier list with the AI presidents.

Celes and Terra are obviously the "main" characters.

It is kinda funny as you start out with them being the same trope-type in pair with Locke. I know there are hours and hours of reviews and the interviews on how the game was made and who wrote what characters etc. but we all know the Japanese are masters of over simplification when they talk... just watch Anime... it is like... 5 lines of talking in the anime vs if an American studio made it, it would be 25. So in those interviews where they are like "we each wrote a set of characters, and then discussed some" - in reality, that is equating to WAY MORE collaboration and shareing of ideas and co working than they say, because everything is implied.

So- with that, I say, Terra and Celes really are 1 character "idea" or "type" that just grew into two. They both are magitek generals - the connection to espers would have worked with either being artificially infused or genetic - we are given more reason for Terra to turn away from the empire, Celes just kinda was like "Oh wait... I am the bad guy!" then all the bad stuff- again, that could work in conjunction with Terras exp- Narshe expidition could have lead back to the empire and then the "Oh I am the bad guy" type thing rather than it being separate as it is.

Either way, what turned out was great. You have a love story and a coming to terms arc for each, Terra drops off in the WoR while Celes really takes over. Terra really is done once she finds the kids and finds herself and love in that - Celes is the one who has the arc that needs to continue. They each are primary, but Celes takes a back seat all the way to the end of WoB and the opera - then it really is just a culmination of the esper plot that puts her to the side a bit while we "end the game" and move on to part 2.

Well I could ramble on for quite some time...

someone make that AI presidents tier list, it would be funny. Trump just keeps talking about Lulu and Tifa
