Queen's Blood (Final Fantasy Thread)

[probablyoliver]

Lost to Penance four times in a row, said sod it and paid Yojimbo 2.5 million gil to get rid of him for me. Cheap but fuck it, it got the job done.

[stokeriño]

That's pretty much what I did. Only it was more the curiosity of "you know, I've not used Yojimbo even once. But I wonder if I throw this money at him whether...oh, yes. I see. I suppose that'll do."  

[probablyoliver]

In fairness I've kept a save from just before because I would like to legitimately do it at some point.

Well I say that, but we all know I never will.

A win's a win, afterall.

[probablyoliver]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand that's platinum #13 in the bag. Finally my blood oath is fulfilled.

[Benji]

What luck levels did y'all wind up with?

[probablyoliver]

150 worked fine, the only time it seemed like not enough was the smallest Dark Magus Sister, she was a pain to hit, but a couple rounds of Luck put an end to any issue I had with her.

Before I cleaned up the grid for everyone, 255 for Yuna, I think about 160 for Wakka and Tidus, maybe 90 for Rikku.

After I finished off the grid and overwrote them all with the likes of Mag Def spheres to make the task easier, virtually zero.

Hey, y'all need to get I Am Setsuna, it's phenomenal.

Oh fantastic, it lives up to my hype. Got Witcher to finish first, but I'm 100% picking that up at some point.

[probablyoliver]

Yeah, it's very Chrono Trigger esque, the story seems like a less technological FFX so far, the combat is lovely, the enemy designs are great and it all looks so sombre and pretty and rad.

I was nervous about it, but it seems to be hitting all the right notes in the first couple hours.

[Ruki]

It looks good, but I don't have a spare $40 at the moment

[probablyoliver]

Put a few more hours into I Am Setsuna this morning and it's definitely worth getting, it's super fun and very challenging and the story, though a bit patchy, is pretty good. I'd say it's only really for fans of the genre but I think that was always a given.

[Draevyn]

Got my 3DS this morning and fired up Final Fantasy IV. 5 and a half hours later and I finally put it down but holy hell, I'd forgotten how hard it can be at times. Going through some of those caves and I was using items as I got them in a lot of cases. It feels like I'm going very slow as I just got to the part where Yang joined my party.

[Clawson]

My wife won't let me get I Am Setsuna yet.

[probablyoliver]

Heading towards end game on I Am Setsuna now, as far as I can tell every character has a specific side quest and then it's final dungeon time.

Genuinely worth every penny I paid for it and dammit guys, you need to buy it so we can all gush about how ruddy excellent it all is.

[Liam]

How much does it cost?

[Ruki]

$45ish in Canadian.

 

Also? I am getting way too excited for World of Final Fantasy.

[probablyoliver]

£32 I paid for it.

[probablyoliver]

Completed I Am Setsuna last night. Definitely in my top five games of the year so far, maybe even top 3.

[Benji]

FFXV will have SIX DLC Packs (and I bet one of them contains the real ending again).
