haha, fantastic!

I missed this during the Nintendo Direct ... fingers crossed! Regret never finishing it on original release.

Why oh why does everything that touch FFVII come off so damn cheesy ...

Oooh, decisions decisions on where to play this. The Series X makes a lot of sense, but I might have to wait and see how well it performs on the Steam Deck.

Also, SE Steam Sale: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/squareenix_tgs...

FFIX for $10 eh? hrmmm, I've wanted to replay this for awhile.

Damnit, the Final Fantasy Pixel remake bundle is also on sale. I've been itching to go back to IV and VI ... but to do the 3d remakes, or the 2d remasters? hrmmm ... I'd really rather play on Switch, but this is tempting.

Just listened to the FFVI theme, and g'damnit, I want to drop every other game and go play this again. So many childhood memories here.

Apparently the Crisis Core steel book is exclusive to GAME https://www.game.co.uk/en/m/crisis-core-final-fant...

That synchronized Cactuar battle dance :)

And the game has a release too. Looking forward.

Who is the guy at around 1:50 who has one wing and is talking to Sephiroth?

IV and VI had 3D remakes?

Are you referring to this piece of music:

III and IV. I remember playing IV on 3ds but don't think I finished. Never played III.

Yep, that song, so amazing!

Does GAME no longer ship to the states? I can't login and checking out as Guest says my phone number is invalid. Wanted to get that Crisis Core steelbook.

Maybe there's some Wanker version of Buyee out there? Basically with Buyee you buy Japanese stuff, it gets shipped to a facility in Japan, then from there they ship it to you from Japan. It's how a lot of people import stuff from JP when sellers refuse to ship out of country.

Have they said anything about Crisis Core being Steam Deck verified yet?

I mean no, it's not released yet

Well, they said that Intergrade was verified before it's Steam release, so it's possible.

Probalby have to wait a bit longer to hear about it. I'm gonna assume it's less impactful than FF7R, so it'll probably be fine.

That's what I'm expecting/hoping as well. The original Crisis Core had a ton of bite-sized side mission content that's perfect for a handheld, and it'd be nice to farm through those on the go and sit home on a juiced up PC for the story missions.

Picked up all the old FFs on the current Steam Sale. I'm torn between IV 3d remake vs VI to start with. I legit want to play I-VI back to back but gotta be selective.

I'd just hit them all up with the pixel remasters. Don't need the 3DS remakes.

i just launched VI and legit got goosebumps and giddy at the opening / music. Jesus, it's been too long since I've played this.

I haven't used a controller on my PC in years. I have both an Elite Series 2 and a Dual Sense.

When setting up the controller in FFVI, it appears to think I have an Xbox controller. I re-mapped, but is this normal?

Just switched to the Xbox controller, works way better.

Nice! Steelbook available for Crisis Core at Best Buy

Dude, c'mon... Didn't realize this comes out a week after GoW and Sonic.

This will unfortunately be de-prioritized.

Holy crap the drought has become a flood. Ys VIII ps5 too. Yes.

Wait... No, I'm dumb. December 13th, not Nov 13th.

Lol. That’s ok. I need time.

Yes, everything defaults to XINPUT even when using non-Xbox controllers, it's defacto standard. Steam is usually smart enough to make a DS appear as an Xbox in everything but button legends in game, but you may need to go to controller details in Steam settings and enable Playstation controller support. That fixed up a lot of stuff that wasn't registering DS (PS5 pad) as present, like the older Dark Souls titles. Elden Ring has built-in DS support

Final Fantasy XVI is 95% complete and release date is expected to be announced by end of this year

I really disliked FF XV from what little I played, but XVI looks pretty badass. I like the return to a more classic fantasy setting. FFIX is my favorite FF, so the more medieval the game goes, the more in I am.

XV was disappointing, but was still fun to play. Never did the DLC ...

IX is absolutely one of my all time favorites!

Is it just me or did FFIX take a really weird sci-fi twist near the end? I remember enjoying the game.

I really friggin wish I could remember wtf I was doing in FFIX before I took a massively long break. Despite having considered it an all-time favorite game since the first time I owned it on PS1, I've never beaten it and finally got further than ever during my play-through on Switch. I think I picked up a Walkthrough a while back to try to figure out where I was... when I turn the game on, I'm standing outside Oelivert. Looks like all the chests were open, so I feel like I already did that bit at least. I can enter the airship, I just don't know where the hell I'm supposed to go from here. I also remember already doing the Black Mage Village stuff and all that.

Anybody have any guesses?

Only FF game I ever beat was the remake of the first one on GBA.

I looked up a different walkthrough a while back and I think it only confused me, but looking at that link, I'm not sure I remember the Ark boss. So maybe I'll travel deeper into Oelvert and see how far it takes me. Thanks as always Feebski.

@benstylus You just reminded me that I have the DS version of FFIII somewhere. Maybe I'll eventually drag out my old crappy DS to play that finally (even though I'm not a huge fan of the graphics in the DS remakes).

Pretty sure I got stuck somewhere around there too. The NPC conversation.

The graphics might not be the best, but the game is fun. I put a lot of time into that one.

I used to have a ton of fun with FF games. Thoroughly played a bunch of the handheld ones. Good times. I'd love to play another, but those games require some serious time to put in. Backlog is too big at the moment to allow an FF game. Though I did start FFVIII around a year or two ago. Was enjoying it, but for a reason I'm unaware of I stopped playing it. Don't know why. Should continue that one. I like that in game card game. Fun. Was spending way too much time playing the card game instead of the actual game, and I don't regret it. :)

That’s my issue with FFIX, I sorta just want to play Tetra Master haha

Also my issue with FF /JRPG games these days. They’re so long and I eventually start playing and getting into something else to the point that I think “oh yah, I’m halfway through a Final Fantasy game”. Though I say that and then sink an FF game’s worth of time into Red Dead Redemption 2 or Ghost of Tsushima.
