What do you guys think about the Pixel Remasters? I've been playing the pixel remastered version of FF5 and I've really enjoyed it. There's some songs I think are not as good as the original OST, but other than that I'm pretty happy with it.

I don't mind them. At the moment I just want to replay 1-6 and just need a reliable method to do so. I was going to just emulate the PS1 Origins versions but decided to just try the Pixel Remaster for FF6. The one thing I don't like is the fonts. Even though they give you two options with fonts, they both suck and it's silly you have to mod it to get something half way decent.

Find a GBA Emulator and play the Advance version.

Pixel Remaster removed the bonus dungeons that were added in the Advance Versions, and what is the point of the game if you aren't going to face the Room full of Omega Weapons?
 
Watching FF characters shittalk each other on messenger is legit peak writing.

Zidane would kick the shit out of Kain.
So far the plot is standard but the writing is kino. Sephiroth is 100 percent joining the group later on and I can only imagine how amazing the back and forth posting between him and cloud will get.

Persona 3 cast are cringe when they are mulling about the game's theme of memento mori, specially when they're still teenagers.

But when they're dealing with teenager issues like getting fat, like a teenager would, they are more human and endearing than the average FF character. DIFFERENCE!

most FF characters are too larger than life, and I get why they need to be, but most of the time, their personal struggles are still too outlandish for a normal person to relate to. at least with FF15, the guys banter a lot during their roadtrip make them a bit endearing
Oh, sorry, I thought fantasy RPGs where supposed to be about heroic figures going out on epic quests to defeat ancient evils and see the mysteries of the world and whatnot. I guess that's too cringe and outdated for the Modern Audience™ and RPGs instead should be about grappling with the banal everyday problems of modern life like getting called gay because you like to sew.

They've been trying to half-way redeem Sephiroth for a while now, first with the game depicting his training years, and now with the Remakes/sequels/time travel games where he's clearly trying to escape his fate of being a big dumb villain who gets killed at the end.

just because they're fantasy rpg characters, that doesn't mean they can't talk about mundane stuff about their lives like talking about the glory of bazongas while trekking to save the world making small talk along the way, you know

I mean do what you like but GBA audio is far and away the worst audio of any of the remakes. And the postage-stamp sized screen really does lose a lot of fidelity. NES FFs aren't bad on GBA but I can't handle the SNES ports. At some point, I may play the FF6 GBA for the extra dungeon, but that's about the only reason I would.

Yeah Audio is trash..but Bonus Bosses and Dungeons.

The FF5 one lets you stuff Enuo in a locker like the nerd he is.
 
Alert, we have a Japanese only state of play tomorrow. Hosted by the guy that plays hope in ff13

He doesn't necessarily have to be a good guy to join up for giggles. The last Mobile Dissida had him available to join up alongside Kefka and everyone got pissed off at the moogle that allowed it to happen.





When was Sephiroth uber gay? I know he calls Cloud a puppy in Rebirth which is gay as hell, but OG 7 Sephiroth and Remake Sephiroth come off as 2 different characters to me.
Rebirth literally has him describe the planet as a women and him pleasuring it. It's the funniest shit.

My pet theory is there is a sephiroth that 'won" In one of the split copy world's and realized how empty it was.
 
he's always been uber gay, I dunno why this is the line cross.
I don't know how anyone looks at a guy with long-ass hair, an open V-neck top, and a fondness for black leather and goes "Yes, he's 100% heterosexual". Even by 1980's standards that shit's gay as fuck.

The excuse they had in that game is that the moogle sidekick could collect people's "coordinates" and could teleport them to his location whenever there was a fight. This was supposed to be the in-universe reason why you can use whatever character you want in battle even they aren't involved in that part of the plot, because Mog is (almost) always around where the player viewpoint is and could instantly call whoever to come fight. So all the villains are some point when they were made playable had a side chapter where they hand their coordinates over to Mog for whatever reason, whether to keep watch over them or screw with them or whatever, with the idea that Mog could then call them to fight when needed, which half the time would annoy the heroes.
That said, I recall this comes up at least once in the main story where Mog can't call or sense the location of the villains when it would be helpful because they have some way to block him when it's convenient for the plot, and it also stops making much sense in later parts of the plot that get more serious and eventually in the last arc villains start getting incapacitated. Really, they probably shouldn't bother trying to give in-universe reasons why half the villains might fight for the heroes in gameplay, it's just too silly and won't cleanly work with the plot.

As long as the writing’s good I can accept it. For as shit NT was, I will give it props for not having Cloud be a mopey drag, Terra not be a mopey skittish doormat, and portraying Noctis as a dipshit surrounded by weirdos and freaks.
 
When was Sephiroth uber gay?
When he wanted Genesis to rape his bootyhole?

Zidane would kick the shit out of Kain.
Zidane not holding back probably kicks the shit out of every protag but Clive, and probably kills Clive.

Remember he is a perfected version of Kuja and Kuja wiped out a planet with his trance.
