I thought so. Anyone know where the guy is?

Thank


Sadly, I think I missed some songs. Still, no biggie considering I'm probably gonna use Sing much this time around, but my inner completionist is throwing a fit

[Fynn]

Welp, almost done with the game. I'm at the last screen with a save point grinding jobs because Neo Exdeath murdered me once already, so I'd like to prepare better.

For the first time ever I noticed the Minotaur brothers, which was pretty neat. Also, this game is pretty shocking when it comes to the number of bosses vulnerable to instant death and petrification. In general, I think this game has the fastest boss battles so far, since not only are a surprising number of them vulnerable to instant death, but they also don't have too much HP - but they can also kill you faster. Reminds me of SMTIV in that regard.

[Fynn]

Well, just beat it. FFV is still awesome after all this time. It's a really amazing game and I really don't get why people (used to) think it's weak. Aside from being much more tongue-in-cheek, it's not really much goofier than FFIV.

Also, the music is, up to this point in the series, the best, no contest. All these amazing themes! Much better that IV's or, heck, I - III's as well.

Off to start VI now! I'll try to play a bit differently this time. I'll try to do it fast and not teach everyone every spell.

Agreed. I ended up enjoying FFV so much more than I expected to. Such a great soundtrack, such a fun story, such a good gameplay system. Definitely my favorite of the SNES era.

[Fynn]

And like I said earlier, for such a lighthearted game it has some really, genuinely devastating moments

[Karifean]

Stumbling upon Lix was still one of the most unexplicably emotional moments of any 16-bit games for me. It's that soundtrack, man.

Also GILGAMESH NOOOOO

And Galuf I guess.

[Fynn]

OK, FFVI started! I can already see this port is much better optimized for PC than FFV's! Everything scrolls so smoothly, and the UI, while still incredibly big, is at least much more sharp and clean.

Always loved this game's opening. It's just oozing atmosphere, what with the magitek armors walking in the snow

There's a reason this is one of my all-time favs

[Fynn]

Ugh, the button configuration is slightly different from FFV. Don't you just hate when that happens

[Bubba]

I love the intro too! Sets a great mood for the game.

[Fynn]

Welp, Kefka's here! Oh boy, this'll be fun!


By the way, the portraits in this version are just gorgeous!

[Fynn]

Right, just got through the mountains and got Sabin, the bear.



It's a real shame they didn;t use the bearded artwork for him in-game

[Fynn]

Also, The Split is coming up. Which route do I go first?

[maybee]

I usually go Locke, Sabin, Terra/ Edgar- though sometimes Sabin's adventure first can be good, since he has the longest story.
