    Lack of special abilities outside of magic attacks is what kinda drags the game for me. I got about a quarter of the way through.

    It's a slow burn type of combat system for sure. Everybody basically fighting their own battles w the Gambit system is a cool concept but waiting and watching isn't always fun since most bosses are just bullet sponges. That s*** can take forever.

    I like it a lot but if you got 5-10 hours in and it hasn't clicked, you should probably skip it tbh.

    And yeah the combat is kinda like Xenoblade but slower. Honestly if it wasn't for the 4x speed up I would've been fed up with all the trekking and grinding

    The script is what really keeps me going tho

    yeah, you're prob not wrong. too many games in my backlog as is

    have you beaten xii before or is this your first time playing through it?

    First time. I'm planning to start DQXI after I beat it. Playing two JRPGs at once is borderline impossible for me but I'm tempted to do it now

    no way in hell could i play two JRPGs at the same time, i usually get too caught up into one before wanting to start another.

    DQXI is a great game man, hope you enjoy it

    The crisp direction in this scene is the work of Jun Akiyama, who is probably one of the finest event planners/directors that ever worked at Square. He also worked on VII and the original Kingdom Hearts (among other games), and was supposed to work on Versus XIII before it was reworked in to XV. Unfortunately he hasn't appeared on many credits since then.

    I HAVE to play another game along side lengthy JRPGs. Somehow that other game ends up being a hrpg from time to time. Helps keep me from burning out on either one and if I get stuck in one I just head over to the other til I am ready to go back.

    Most the time I cant do to jrpgs though. I need a shooter or something to go along with them

    I just looked him up, his catalogue is extremely impressive for sure. I've heard excellent things about Vagrant Story and Tactics in particular. I can only hope XVI can be of similar quality considering the team behind it

    Unit III has done a stellar job with XIV so I'm optimistic about XVI. I also like the confidence Square has shown in dropping the teaser without any fanfare, and I think they've learned from their mistakes in announcing games too early in advance like they did with XV and VII Remake.

    I’m trying to play FF8 but this shot is so dated I don’t understand this junction feature at all really it’s just trash to me

    The limit break trigger s*** I don’t even know if it’s working 99% of the time

    Probably gonna just watch cutscenes so I know the story

    yeah the junction system is annoying but you can do a lot of crazy s*** with it and break the game early on. definitely one of my least favorite FF systems.

    pretty solid vid. game just explains it kinda poorly and makes it a bit difficult to get into the game imo. game is just kinda odd all around.
