This is false. I am retarded and didn't rewatch the first episode in a while, it's the same postcard she hands to Shinji in the original anime. The first movie just remade the opening with sequel shit in place. There are definitive character differences in the later films though and I think it's worse than the Evangelion Manga.
You mean the sport where people who fly around at high speed on broomsticks are deliberately encouraged to try taking out as many of the other team as possible by hitting heavy metal balls into them and bluffing them into lawn darting themselves?
Pretty sweet you can get it on GOG. We should buy the games out of principle on GOG so we can see more get release DRM free.
ENix can you not go one month without ruining ff7 in some form? Ffs
I mean it's just underwater soccer... but you're right, that's still more interesting than "99% of this game literally does not matter."
No. The character development there is good. She’d be the worst main heroine ever but she isn’t that so it’s fine.
Why I hate the REmakes so much they cut out the agony, despair and contrition and turned Ff7 into a road trip movie with no stakes
Play the pixel remasters. They don't have any of the bonus content, but you said you don't care about that. They also come with some quality of life upgrades like extra experience/gold, and I think the ability to turn off random encounters. If you're only interested in emulation, you can get everything but FF3 on the GBA. The 2D version of FF3 is only available on the NES and via pixel remaster.
There's an extra post-game storyline for II you'd probably be interested in, but it's only in the GBA and PSP versions. I recommend you play the PSP versions. They'll be smooth to play through, have nice graphics, and that bonus storyline in II. Just ignore the extra dungeons in I or the extra main story dungeon in II, they're pretty tedious. The extra dungeons in FF1 also have a lot of retroactive nostalgia bosses from III to VI you wouldn't get until you play those games.
Thanks a ton for the info. III and IV are definitely the ones I've had the most trouble deciding on.
Is just post-FFIV story. You play as Cecil and Rosa's son. Take it or leave it.
Yes. Is a straight update of the NES.
If you're interested in playing the 2D version of IV, then I would say the PSP version is the best version. It has the same gameplay as the SNES or GBA versions but it plays smoother and any major bugs are fixed. I think the graphics look fine, though some people dislike it and say it looks like an RPG Maker game. The GBA and PSP versions are basically the same in content outside the graphics - the GBA graphics are closer to the SNES graphics -, but the GBA version has some bad programming with the ATB system that causes turn order to just not work correctly, at least in the Japanese and American carts. I think it might have been fixed or partially fixed in the European release? I'm not totally sure.
Story-wise, there's no difference between NES and PR versions of III. It's literally the exact same Japanese script but with a couple instances of the word "crazy" removed. Gameplay-wise, the PR version is kind of a weird blend of the NES and 3D versions, with some of its own further balance changes. If you want the original gameplay then you have to play the NES version, but if you want the NES story script but the gameplay is smoother and easier then you can play the PR version.
Dawn Of Souls is my absolute favorite way to experience I and II. Especially II. The postgame addition with Minwu/Josef/Scott/Ricard actually adds a lot to the experience.
And with IV and the Lunar Ruins. Kain’s scenario ALONE beats the DS Remake imho.
