Queen's Blood (Final Fantasy Thread)

Sorry, I was thinking about the Honey Bee in stuff in the same section.

A leak was posted on an account that was then deleted, and most places are taking it as fact. There are a lot of mechanic/story changes mentioned in there - but outside of that it reveals that;

- It will be at E3 as a floor demo, and then a download for PS Plus members.
- It will be split into two games
- Each game will be full price

[Ruki]

I'm cool with that I think.

[Benji]

Oh crikey, only two episodes? Yeah I'm more than happy with that.

[Bobfoc]

That sounds good. I'll believe it when I see it, though.

Game one until the city of the ancients, game two is meteor. Makes sense.

FF13 looks pretty damn amazing on the Xbox One X (it's one of the games they enhanced along with making them backwards compatible) - it doesn't even look like a 360 era game anymore. And this time when I'm playing it - I am bothering to use the battle system and actually pay attention to how it's supposed to be played. I'm realizing how much I just tried to speed through and ignore elements the first time I played them.

[Ruki]

I logged into FF14 and got 7 free days. Gonna see if I can get the itch out of my system.

 

Totally forgot how to play, so decided to start leveling a new class on my character (conjurer into white mage, before I was just about to turn bard)

I'm pretty sure that the first 30 levels or something like that are free now for FF14. I tried it and it looks pretty, and is a decent game but the combat is just way to slow for me after playing WoW. I think right now in terms of content it's better than WoW but it's also not been out as long either.

[Ruki]

Only free if you never bought it

[apsham]

I very much wanted to get into 14 and I've tried maybe three times now - but yeah, it just eventually boils down to everything feeling a bit too slow for me.

[Draevyn]

If WoW ever dies, I'll probably make my way over there....but for now, WoW is just a much better experience even if the FF storylines are usually my favourite.

This is a speed run of FFVII in less than 3 hours and anyone who's a fan of the game needs to watch it because the last 45 minutes of so are absolutely bonkers. Incredible stuff.

[Benji]

Hot take - Crisis Core has the best Final Fantasy soundtrack.

FF7 remake coming March 3rd. Holy crap.

The bigger news is we're finally getting the FF8 Remaster. Once it comes out, I might just take the time to go back through the series from 7 to X-2 just for the hell of it.

The FFVII Remake hype train is giving me the itch to replay VII again, but I fancy a bit more of a challenge. Not sure whether to just do a 100% run again or try something like a Low Level or No Materia run.

[apsham]

Speaking of playing through the original VII and materia - just recently when I spent time with it, I realized why I had so many fucking problems when I played that game growing up. I didn't understand materia at all initially and constantly had low HP. It only happened to Cloud this time and that's when I realized that if you have summons/magic materia it almost universally lowers your HP pool. Compound that onto the fact that I just threw all summon materia on every character and... well yeah.

Do you still use a guide? Even to this day, I've beaten FFVIII over 30 times and I still use a guide just to make sure I don't forget anything.

[Bobfoc]

I always feel stupid with these types of games because I constantly need a guide to work out where I'm supposed to go next.
