Topic: Final fantasy discussion thread

@FullbringIchigo So GAME is like GameStop then? I've heard bad things about GameStop but not so much GAME.

@WanderingBullet let me put it this way, if they was a good chain would they have gone bankrupt back in 2012 (they was later brought by another company and reopened)

@KratosMD about 100gb i think, i'm not sure because i have the game installed on my internal HDD and the DLC is all on the external HDD so it doesn't show the full size altogether but the Royal Edition i have on XB1 sits at about 107gb but it also says the base FFXV is bigger than it does on PS4 (everything is broken down on XB1) so i can't say for sure that the PS4 version is that big

I think FF7 was the big thing for me from E3 this year. I'm definitely looking forward to that. FF8 remastered is definitely cool too. I might get it somewhere down the line.

I honestly want the 7 1st Class Edition (the one with the Cloud figure). I have the money for it, but $330 is still a lot. Probably gonna wait a week or two before taking that plunge.

Hands on (ie someone has played it) preview of FFVII Remake!

@JohnnyShoulder yeah i have seen a few hands on pieces and they all pretty much say the same thing

it's really good

@KratosMD I just played the original game and it was great! No doubt you would enjoy it too.

With just the base game you see the world from Noctis persepective - and Role Playing as him the games makes sense without the extra content (Albeit the story goes a bit weird towards the end). I would say to play the game you own and if you enjoy it buy the season pass around 20 hours in as this is before the dlc happens.

@themcnoisy well they always said FFXV was "Episode Noctis"

so i have a question, does anyone have some funny or silly Final Fantasy stories

for example, i was playing Final Fantasy VIII when it first came out and i left it on Rinoa's name select screen to go make something to eat and when i came back i found my mum had changed her name to Bet (my mums name) and saved it as a joke and i wasn't willing to start over as it was my first play through so i had to go through the whole game with Rinoa named after my mum

still it was a better name than the one i gave Red XIII on FFVII (i called him Rover because he looked like a dog)

@KratosMD they are separate from the main game because the main game is seen from Noctis point of view in fact it's actually better to play the episodes after you finish FFXV, at least the first time anyway as they contain spoilers for later chapters and they all play differently

the Royal Pack is fully integrated into the game though

basically play XV then the episodes and it will be fine

Hands down the BEST Final Boss battle music in the entire series

The Extreme FFVIII

@KratosMD well the Royal pack is fully integrated into the game so you don't need to worry about that and the episodes are done in such a way as they don't need to integrated into the main game but something else i forgot to mention is that chapter 13 had an update after release that allows you to play it from 2 points of view, Noctis or Gladio and you can chose which one you want to do plus change whenever you want at safe rooms if you want too but i would suggest playing through the Noctis route first as this has a few story building moments and then maybe the other route if you decide to play through the game again (or you can also play this from the main menu separately if you like)

as for the movie, it does explain a few things and lets you see what happens after Noctis leaves insomnia but it's not necessary to watch if you don't want too

you know i honour of the FINAL FANTASY VIII Remaster announcement i'm re-sharing my Squall fan art

so i saw in the comments of a FFX vid that people are still arguing over how Tidus is pronounced and i thought, is this really still going on

if anyone is wondering it's TEE-DUS not TIE-DUS (and yes Square has said that when it was pronounced Tie-dus in Kingdom Hearts 2 that was a mistake by the actress doing the line) but basically the reason it's Tee-dus is because it's derived from the word tida ("tee-dah") in an Okinawan dialect means sun. Yuna is the opposite representing moon.

i know people think it's Tie as in Tide because of how much Water has to do with the game BUT the name was decided way back before that happened when in the original draft it was about the cycle of the sun and the moon

of course if Tidus was real we all know what he would say about all the arguing

@FullbringIchigo I always thought it was Tide-uz. Seymour is See-more. Wakka is Wake-air.

I pronounce Tidus as 'utter bell'.

@ApostateMage That's Khimaris special move you are dissing!

I've edited my original comment it was made in good jest, but it read pretty badly so I've edited it.

As a Final Fantasy Grand Master @FullbringIchigo I would like to hear your opinion on a few things.

Which games has the 3 best characters?

Which game has the best overarching story?

Which is the most memorable boss fight?

Which game has the most left field side quest?

@themcnoisy

@FullbringIchigo Nice drawing.
I've never played FFVIII so I can't help but only see Michael Jackson from his Thriller days.
