Izual_Reborn 11/15/17 6:58:22 PM #1:	Loved it as a teen. Probably my favourite game at the time. How does the battle system hold up today? I imagine it feels pretty basic? --- We have no empathy, and we expect none from you. When the terror comes, we will make no excuses. RIP Deno <cite>Izual_Reborn posted [p:890463288] in Does Final...

OpheliaAdenade 11/15/17 6:59:28 PM #3:	Still holds up. Only thing I dont like on replaying it is the summons. They're too long for their own good. :v I'm sure they were mindblowing back in 97 but nowadays I wish I could skip them. --- http://imgur.com/Q6Qj55q <cite>OpheliaAdenade posted [p:890463356] in Does Final...

lilORANG 11/15/17 6:59:41 PM #4:	absolutely. I actually played it for the 1st time in 2013, and it's one of my favorite games. You have to get used to Cloud's hoof-hands but the gameplay is fun and the story is still fresh/hilariously convoluted. --- #FeelTheBern http://i.imgur.com/q5z4CUu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6B9oFXh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sy42Dlf.jpg <cite>lilORANG posted [p:890463373] in Does Final...

chrono625 11/15/17 7:13:05 PM #10:	The ps4/psp release is the best because of the cheats.

DragonImps 11/15/17 7:39:12 PM #13:	I'm in the middle of my first playthrough of it. It's a bit archaic, the character models especially can be pretty distracting. And it seems like it could've been written by some edgy kid, but it's kinda charming in a way. I'd say it still holds up well enough. <cite>DragonImps posted [p:890465598] in Does Final...

I Like Toast 11/15/17 7:43:29 PM #15:	I doubt new gamers would like the turn-based nature. Graphically it didn't, like most early ps1 games as developers were still learning 3d modeling. But I love it and play every few years. --- If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all <cite>I Like Toast posted [p:890465839] in Does Final...

NeoShadowhen 11/15/17 7:48:13 PM #16:	As others have said. Graphically, fuck no. It's a hot mess. Nothing charming or nostalgic about it. Everything else is great. If they would have just done a re-master. But no. They decided to go in a tragic direction instead. Whatever. Lots of things get lost to the ages. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:890466134] in Does Final... [t:75995273]...</cite> <quote>As others have said. Graphically, fuck no. It's a hot mess.

Persona is pretty popular still Not really, especially not compared to final fantasy. And I'd be curious to knowing the age breakdown of its sales. I'd guess that it's largely people 25-35, like us, that grew up with them. But without data it's just my speculation. But yes, there are still successful and profitable turn based rpgs. --- If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all <cite>I Like Toast posted [p:890467084] in Does Final...

The game is a cake walk even without them Yea, I don't make a habit of using them. I might use them once or twice just to see them again or to be fancy in a boss fight, but most the time I just attack or cast spells. Oh... but limit breaks are different. :v I think most of those are just the right length. Even omnislash is satisfying to watch.
