Thread: I love this game, really

  1. #1

    Default I love this game, really

    But I never understood the point of having dudes like Desh join your party and not fight along. Do they really do anything other then give you information when clicking the B button?

    You need them for the plot. That's about it. In the DS version, it's expected that they will do something (in battle), including one screenshot showing Princess Sara casting Cure.

    Indeed. There's also a screen showing Desh atacking some monsters.

    Now now now, don't announce your plans to steal. Say it like this...

    It's official, I'm borrowing my friend's DS. (SPOILER)With a tire iron.

    Commandeer. You're going to commandeer your friend's DS. Nautical term.

    Anyways, the side characters don't really do much except talk to you on the NES version. Usually the most emotional story events happen to them, though. Supposedly they'll help you in the battles on the DS version, but it's only some minor help.

    Or steal a copy that isn't your friend's.

    I prefer the term "Treasure Hunter".

    The guest characters randomly aid your party in battle in the DS version, so they aren't just going 'huh?' in the sidelines anymore.

    Then again, from what I've heard, some of the bosses are even more challenging then the original, so you may actually need that extra help.

    But really...isn't having Dorga in your party cool enough?

    Yeah, and then wait indefinitely for a working DS emulator to be made.

    I think there already is. I know there's an FFIII rom. Just in Japanese.
