Topic	Man, FF9 was such an awesome game
Jaded_Dragon 08/04/21 1:13:29 PM #22:	Winrawr posted... The game speed is genuinely 40% of ff7. Combat animations are also super long and spell effects persist during animations so spells like regen essentially full heal you with any animation. The combat priority turn order is so busted that the team does more dps if you make one of your party members afk/guard then pass turn to either steiner or Zidane. The combat is also piss easy, then a massive spike in stats is required at the last 15% of the game. The encounter rate is the highest or any ff game besides ff2 and the slow combat startup along with long time to escape from battle along with trance going off while running away and having to wait for the animation to finish makes exploring a nightmare. Trance is also supremely busted. Reg attacks do like 500 dmg for awhile but even early dyne and other tranches hit for upwards of like 8k dmg, nuking bosses. Item equipment is also utterly devoid of any strategy. There are no stats, builds, and you just buy the newest item in the shop and equip the one with highest dmg or defense or gives you a new ability I could go on and on, but wow is the gameplay bad. I still love the game for its other strengths like story, soundtrack, etc. but wow it makes ff8 junction system look functional. Thank God they abandoned atb in ffx I have to say, that I completely agree with you. I bought the game at release, played it through to about 80% complete and then completely lost interest. The story is fine but I found the battles to be so absurdly tedious that I didn't want to play anymore. I didn't beat it until maybe 2 years after release. I've gone back many times and tried to play through it... I do like the characters and the world setting, but my god, the battles are just so boring. I always make it to around Ipsen's castle before I'm like "Meh, I'm good". I've even re-purchased it on PS4 and Switch, hoping the 'remastered' versions would be enough for me want to play through it again, but nope.... same thing happened. I got to the Shrines and just... lost interest. I've bought the game 3 times, I really want to like it and I can understand why people say it's one of their favorites, I guess it just ain't for me though. I always go back to 4 - 7. --- Buying a game at release these days is basically paying to be a beta tester. -Me <cite>Jaded_Dragon posted [p:956770404] in Man, FF9 w...
