not gonna lie: i was tempted to consult a GameFAQ just because this may be the last time in my life i play this and i know there are thousands of secrets in this game that i'll never see. also, mainly, it's nice to have a head's up when a character is about to die or lose all their shit or something, so you don't blow a ton of gil in a shop just beforehand, or so that you can hand off your shit to other characters ahead of time.
but no, i will not. i'm playing this clean.

the big plot twist in this felt super momentous back in the day, like no other game had done anything quite like that before, and it happens deep enough in that you think you're approaching the end maybe and then oops no not even close. the sheer size/length of the game was pretty incredible at least to me.

the world of ruin felt revelatory to me as a kid, i remember i spent months exploring the various locations, trying to find all the characters and secrets. i think this was one the best balanced ff games, the last time i replayed it i was still finding small things that i had missed in past playthroughs, particularly from the first half of the game. but most of the really rare and hard to find things do nothing to help you play the game or hinder the story at all, they're rewarding w/o being necessary i guess.
the big downside is the game is comically easy unless you set yrself artificial restrictions and there are almost no tactically interesting decisions to make in any of the battles. also the formula they use for steal success rates is overly punishing for no real reason

Ha, when I played this it was on emu, with just a keyboard, and my approach was just to never fuck around with Sabin's blitzes at all. It was a minor handicap for a certain period of the game but nothing that really affected anything. I later had it on a cartridge and my strategy had become hard-wired - I never did get into Sabin at all. Wish I could remember what I named him though....all my characters were named after anime heroes IIRC.

Just made it through the Fanatic's Tower, loaded up everyone with Wall Rings and for the most part let all the baddies cast magic that bounced off me and killed them. At this point I feel a little lost and directionless, as I pretty much just fly around and visit towns and storylines seem to start up and end at random. I'm probably just being too lazy and not remembering that _this_ character is from _this_ town and when I enter Doma castle I need Cyan in the party or whatever for something to trigger. But still, it's all really damn amazing, and the storytelling is wonderful. Even if I have to look at a Walkthrough to be told to bring Gau and Sabin to the small house on the northern continent of the world of ruin, it's still pretty special when it turns into a comedy/makeover sequence that turns very dramatic and then ends with a typically optimistic and sort of Zen affirmation of Life. The whole Phoenix sequence was pretty special, too!!
I've been thinking of what to play next, and I really want to play Final Fantasy IX. It seems to work fine in PCSX but I was wondering, is there any way to change the resolution on these games? I know the backgrounds are all still art but surely there must be a way to go from pixelly polygons to nice and sharp polygons, even if the low-res textures will still be there....

Yeah I'm still loving this, but I'm getting a bit lazy, and now whenever I run into a bad guy I hold the FF button on ZSNES so all my characters are Level 50+.
The story seems to be the best out of all the FF games I've played, just because of the huge cast and most of the characters seem to have really good reasons to fight the bad guy beyond he's trying to destroy the world. Still, the look of FFVII is just so cool and minimal and colorful and weird, I have to rate it above VI for the battle animations alone.

I finished this, yay!
I dropped in here just wanting to ask if anyone has played the new Steam release of Final Fantasy VIII and if it lets you change resolutions or anything. Because i started playing that and I'm only 5 hours in so I won't mind dropping if I can actually have super smooth and sharp polygons instead of pixelated polygons. I haven't seen anything about that anywhere (and it wasn't the case with the VII re-release) so I'm kind of skeptical on that front.

― |Restore| |Restart| |Quit| (Doctor Casino), Monday, 11 February 2019 16:21 (five years ago) link
Yeah I might try that. The trick is to use Wall Rings on all the characters and just let the baddies cast spells that bounce off you onto them. It should work on paper but...
Yeah Ancient Castle you have to (SPOILER) walk five paces away from the queen's throne and hit a button and it opens a secret area but... I'd never have known to do that. Maybe a random NPC mentions it. Someone upthread said there's an awful lot of that - certain parts of the game only open up to certain characters and knowing who to use where is tricky. It's hard enough making sure everyone in your party is equipped and relic'd and espered in the optimum. I still don't know what I'm doing with Mog, Strago and Gau (or Gav?) - so many random ways to use their powers, I can't keep up.

one of my friends recently was telling me that life post-transition felt like living in the world of ruin, this cataclysmic event that ripped everything apart
since 2016 i've kind of been struggling with... for me, this world is a dystopia. no question. i've kept asking myself over and over, with the world being fucked the way it is, why i bother. i had this kind of idea in my head of "dystopia" as equating "world not worth living in". pain and suffering and injustice and all that crap.
thinking about ff vi as a dystopia just now, something just sort of clicked. for me games aren't about winning, they're about existing in a particular space, a particular time.
the first half of ff vi was fine and all. it was really on rails. a lot of set pieces. i guess it was a decent enough story and all but i wasn't really invested in it. like i have more agency in the story than i do in, say, "space ace", but not by much.
i liked the game better when i got to the world of ruin. i wasn't just going through the set pieces the game wanted me to go through in the order it wanted me to go through them. i could do things when and how i wanted to do them.
if i didn't enjoy doing that i could always just stop playing, but i didn't stop playing. i had more of a sense of accomplishment doing stuff when the game wasn't holding my hand and telling me what to do next.
it wasn't _hopeless_. that's the thing that gets me about it. various characters at various times struggled with despair, but the world itself... ruin and despair are very different things. dystopia and apocalypse isn't necessarily about everybody being killed, it's just, like... being separated from the people and things that are important to me. that's what i feel most acutely.
the story of final fantasy vi for me isn't about defeating evil or restoring balance. it's about connecting with people i care about but have become separated from because of some fucked up shit that happened. that's, like, the entirety of it. it's difficult and arduous and every single person takes work to connect with again. the payout for that is not just that they're back in my party. i am able to connect with them on a deeper level, know them in ways that i didn't back in the world of balance.
i could say, maybe, that if i could pick a dystopia to live in, it would be the World of Ruin, but the truth is that i live in the dystopia i live in, and i get to choose how to deal with it. i think i'm going to choose to act like i'm living in the World of Ruin. i can see myself being happy, living in that dystopia.

great post, Kate - both about life, and the vibe of this game. you're right, it goes beyond the nonlinearity of the WoR, it's the sense of the characters having loved through so much, both together and apart. i'm sure someone somewhere has written about the "party" in RPGs and fantasy fiction as a form of chosen family, but this game may offer some of the best raw materials for the player to put together that kind of narrative and emotional connection. always liked the sense of having these different clusters of people who had been there for each other's particular low points and recoveries. barely any dialogue but it works.
