The combat isn't even good by real time standards. Square Enix can't match what they were putting out in the 90s anymore and they're simply failing at westernized gaming. That combined with them losing Nobuo Uematsu as a composer and most of their writers only contributes to why FF is a completely uninteresting franchise anymore.

Played a bit of FFXV last night and again this morning.

The world is fucking huge, the combat is Kingdom Hearts meets FFXII, the enemies are pretty tough, riding Chocobos is fun, leveling up system is somewhat similar to FFX, you don't level up in real time but rather all the accumulated XP is used whenever you set up a camp, haven't dealt with any summons yet though.

I'm ambivalent so far as to whether I like it or not. I'll give it some time.

I lost track of final fantasy games after they started to make MMOs. Which ones after 10 are non-MMO and worth playing?

 

[CiG]

XII is kinda worth playing, but X really was the last good one imo.

I love XII, far more than X, but it might not meet your expectations as a Final Fantasy game. It's got a weak story, doesn't have a Uematsu soundtrack etc. but what it does have is a huge, open, gorgeous world and a very liberating, solo-MMO kind of feel to it. It's a very relaxing experience, as the gambit system allows you to set up your party to deal with random encounters autonomously.

One of my biggest beefs with it.

Btw, for those concerned about FFXV's soundtrack, you collect old FF game soundtracks in-game. Right now I'm driving around listening to the FFI soundtrack.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Oh man, that sounds amazing. They better PC port that damn game.

I have some kind of seasons when playing. Sometimes I don't play much and sometimes I play all the time. I mostly play these:
Dawn of War
Dawn of war: winter assault, dark crusade, soulstorm
Dawn of War 2
Dawn of War 2: chaos rising, retribution.
Mark of Chaos
Amnesia Dark descent
or then some online games in internet.

My God, Satan, Allah, Buddha, Jesus(and everybody else which I forgot), nooooooo.

Also, as much as I like FFX, it was linear as shit so I have trouble understanding how you see that game as the last one worth playing and then look at FFXV and say, it doesn't look like it's even up to the standard of X.

I loved it when it came out. Might sound unfair but I bought the remaster and the voice acting was enough to demotivate me from finishing it again. Almost completely unbearable.

Been breeding pokemon and trying to get my dex filled. I want the shiny charm but in the same breath I'm afraid I might lose interest. EV training pokemon in Pelago passively is pretty damn cool, I might actually play online a bit on my actual 3DS.

Oh hey for anyone just getting the game or whatever, keep in mind the Apricorn balls from G/S appear in this game but are the absolutely rarest pokeballs in the game. It's literally easier to get master balls, theyre one-of, no matter what. If you want to catch a pokemon in one, you get one shot then would have to soft reset if you fail. Pokemon can, however, pass their balls down while breeding.

Point being, if you have any of them you dont care about, Heavy/Moon/Lure/Fast/Level/Love/Friend/Moon balls do let me know, I'll gladly trade you for them.

I used my Lure Ball today to catch a Marill and messed around for a while until I now have.... Adamant, Huge Power, Belly Drum/Aqua Jet Lure Ball Marills. Thought I might as well bling him out just for fun.
If anyone else would like one, or Adamant Fast Ball Intimidate Growlithe, let me know.

I have Pokemon Sun now, any of you still play?

Also played the board game Paris Connection with my son. fun stuff, one of the few strategy games that's actually fun to play with both kids and adults.

 

[Haddock666]

Great games coming soon, so excited. Outlast 2, Agony, Resident evil: Biohazard, Call of Cthulhu, Visage...

Yeah. I'm post game, Alola dex finished. Just got the shiny charm. I haven't played in the last couple days though, going through some of my gen 4/5 stuff to get it ready for the bank update.

I could play competitive but after reading around on smogon/showdown and seeing the only truly viable online Pokémon from this gen, save a couple, are the fairy quintet and a few of the ultra beasts.

I really don't feel like battling Landorus and Ferrothorn for all eternity. I would like to see the supposedly devastating power of Tapu Lele and Bulu first hand though.

But yeah, if you guys want any Pokémon you can still just let me know. I have almost every Alola dex Pokémon on hand and nearly every other fucking one waiting for the bank update.
