    Final Fantasy XV General Discussion Thread

    Oh, I was not aware of this little factoid. I'm still pretty early in the game, so it's possible that option hasn't opened up for me yet? Either way, just knowing it's possible sounds very appealing.

    Final Fantasy XV General Discussion Thread

    I have a small sample size thus far, only about 12 hours of playtime, so it isn't much. So the battle system isn't the greatest to me. It's a little closer to Type 0 than older FF's. It's not that it's bad, per se, but I like the old turn-based systems better. And I'm not too keen on the...

    [V1] What are you currently playing?

    It's taken a while, but fittingly enough, I'm now working on FFXV. I'm still really early in the game, and still trying to find my swagger with the battle system. I think I'm getting better with it, but magic still eludes me a bit (and it's just really limited, so it has to be used sparingly)...

    What games are on your wishlist?

    Honestly, I never ask for games these days because I'm so far behind on them. I figure I have more than enough to keep me occupied, so why bother adding to the backlog? So the last 2 years I got into Mega Man, mainly because I had 3 for NES and knew the game was fun and the music was awesome...

    FFF Member Career List

    With what seems like an older crowd on FFF these days, compared to when I was last around on the forum, I figure this could be a thread that shows some of the career diversity. I was in my career when I was here years ago, but a lot of you were still students. So I'm thinking we may see some...

    Last game you finished?

    To quote Adam Sandler in Billy Madison, "a as simple no would have been nice". I made my post short and sweet. I really enjoyed the game as a whole, for the story and the side missions. I agree that the optional objectives were annoying at times. Why was it necessary that I tackle that...

    17 Years of Final Fantasy X !

    Makes you feel old? This was 2 months after I graduated high school. This was the 3rd FF I played after VIII and IX. Though, I only played IX once or twice and quit pretty early on because it bored me. So really it was the 2nd one I played in full. My 1st time through, I played for like...

    Gaming Backlog

    Sadly for the last few years, gaming hasn't really been a pastime for me. So I've sort of been semi-retired, especially given all the responsibilities in life. But even in time periods that I don't play games, I do go back to them eventually. I'm kind of in an upswing of playing lately too...

    [V2] Worst Final Fantasy Game?

    So disappointing to still see all the hatred for XIII. I voted for II. The leveling system was such a detriment. The gameplay overall was very vanilla to go with the beating your party takes from...you. The 4th character basically dying all the time was annoying too. And finally at the end...

    Work style approach? Short term or Long term

    Is it possible to have both? If I'm busy at work, I tend to raise my intensity. But funny enough, time will just fly by without me knowing and it's either lunch time or time to go home. If we're talking across a week, I tend to slow down by the end of it. My sleep habits don't help this...

    Shoopuf anatomy question: do shoopufs have two pairs of ears?

    If I had to guess, I'd say Square spent very little time thinking about the finer detail of the shoopuf species and it's need for 2 pairs of ears. I could be wrong, but of all the aspects that go into the game, I would imagine the design of an animal that you see once during the main storyline...

    Sperm Donor Dads

    I recall reading an article a few years ago about how some dude basically fathered like 50 kids, or something like that, as a result of numerous sperm donations to the sperm bank. And then the thought comes to mind about how this guy feels about this. I mean you could basically have the...

    Square Enix Favorite Square-Enix Franchise?

    One that I played and really enjoyed was Bravely Default. In all honesty, it's not much different from the Final Fantasy franchise. It adds an extra dynamic to what is basically like a Final Fantasy I turn-based system that can make for some interesting strategies in tougher battles. It has...

    What is your favorite get away spot?

    Back when we were moving, almost 2 years ago, everything associated with the move were just a nightmare. Needless to say, being home and dealing with that mess was really frustrating and in some ways a little depressing. So as odd as it sounds, going to work was my time to get away. I did...

    [V1] What are you currently playing?

    Always amusing to see a DB thread still alive and kicking. Anyways, Assassin's Creed IV is what I'm working on now. Yup, still a few years behind. I'm already like 38% through and I've only been playing for a few weeks. It took my over a year to conquer ACIII. Wife, kids and house. Who has...

    Main Series Games from Worst to Best

    I'll take a crack at this. I have not played XI, XIV and XV from the main series, so I will just omit them. I'll also stick to the main series only. I'll also state up front that this is strictly my opinion on the games and how I feel about them, not analyzing pros and cons to make a list. I...

    Last game you finished?

    I guess technically, the last game I beat was Mortal Kombat XL for PS4. I didn't spend time getting trophies or anything. I just did the story mode and did a few towers to unlock stuff. Grinding to get trophies was just too tedious, so I just ended there. Just before that was Assassin's...

    FF Soundtrack Contest

    Wow, good news and bad news. I can't believe I came in 3rd, I thought I had no shot. Bad news, how did I miss the 2 from FFX? One was a different version, but how the hell didn't I hear Wandering Flame? That's one of my favorites too.
