Bacon Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Glad enough people seem to be complaining about how it's piss easy, with Max @Keyser_Soze being a large voice behind this sentiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I litteraly suck at games and have only died a few times with bosses. But that is why I love this game so much. I can relax and enjoy myself with a perfect challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I liked that it was piss easy because the combat didn't have near enough depth to warrant those long ass fights also being hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you talked to Spoiler Tarja? She has one if you did her related side quest but for some reason, it doesn't give it to you until you talk to her after the quest is over.

There's a few like that where you get the item as a thank you for talking to them after the quest is done. I have one empty slot left on my memory wall area and I've already completed every available side quest but I can't for the life of me noodle out who would have the item.

Slug Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Looks like I'm missing 1 memory wall item and 2 orchestration rolls. The orchestration rolls are in chests somewhere. This is gonna take awhile to walk the entire map again and find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I just don't get the hate about this game on here. It's simply a joy to play and so well done. I went to YouTube to check out reviews and 99% of them say it's absolutely excellent. One review, gaming bolt I believe, gave it a 10 and said its one of the greatest games ever made. Those in here complaining and didn't enjoy it are severely in the minority. I just made great progress already today knocking out all side quests and progressing the story. Just awesome shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an excellent game BUT compared to other Final Fantasys it's easy to see how people wouldnt love it or even like it. You really only play one role in the game and that's Clive so it's tough to call it a true RPG. Plus It's missing a ton of RPG elements that FF fans probably want in the series but that doesn't make it a bad game. And the FF series has had dud after dud after dud lately and if this is what it takes to get the series back on track then I'm all for it. That said FF7 Remake wasn't all that bad. Now hear me out... It kinda felt to me like it took the buffet that was FF7 PSX and made you focus more on the foods they want you to eat rather than letting you have a variety and picking whatever the hell you wanted. It was Diet Final Fantasy I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I absolutely get the people that are disappointed that this isn't a true Final Fantasy game. It doesn't feel like a FF game. But it is very good on its own. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I don't really care about it being a true FF or not. As I have played the majority of FFs at this point, I can say that FF is pretty mediocre overall. For me, SoP FFO is the second-best FF game I have played. I was hoping 16, with it being different and all, would be the stand-out game of the series, but it really isn't. At least not for me. FF12 is probably the most fun I have had with combat once I messed with the Gambits. FF16 kinda just blends in with the rest of modern AAA releases for me. I feel like if I gave 15 an honest shot I'd end up saying it was pretty equal to 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the two reviews I listened to while on my nightly walk yesterday seemed to line up pretty much word-for-word with what I think, except they both enjoy spectacle more than I do so they liked that part more. Second video absolutely has spoilers. Anyway, I've watched the first guy play FFXIV on occasion so I'm familiar with him, bottom guy I like watching Dead by Daylight content of all things (he also does From Software stuff) and neither is really the type to normally review a game. I think they're worth a listen if you want to understand opinions besides "I need everyone to love this game to justify my love of it" which is a silly stance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm not trying to justify anything? I love it and you didn't enjoy it. I am understanding why the more I play why you didn't think it was so great because it litteraly isn't an RPG. The game is very easy too and I know you enjoy a good challenge in games. I always enjoy your impressions because you really go in depth and are very fair and intelligent.

I always enjoy your impressions because you really go in depth and are very fair and intelligent. Well when you continually try to downplay any dissenting opinions as "in the severe minority" or "everyone disagrees with you" it comes across a lot like "and therefore your opinion matters less," which is completely unnecessary to even imply. If I was at a Dave Matthews Band concert (because I was kidnapped or something?) my opinion that Dave Matthews Band sucks ass would be in the severe minority, but everyone there telling me how deep Gravedigger is would not make me like the band even one iota more! We'd all just have to agree to disagree and they'd have to agree that Dave Matthews Band sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
