SeabassDebeste 01/20/23 4:11:13 PM #1:	The graphics in this have a ton of charm - it's a little funny seeing them go back to a more FFVII/cartoony style versus the more "adult"-looking FFVIII models. Spent over 15-20 tries doing the sword dance. Kept getting my X/Y mixed up and hitting a face-button instead of a D-pad button. Haven't even actually escaped the castle yet with the princess because I spent so long doing that. So far the game has been a little more like FFVIII with a slow start than FFVI or FFVII which got me going really quickly. Vivi is super-cute. oh also does this game not have item descriptions in the menu? thought that was weird --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:970975914] in Kicked off...

CoolCly 01/21/23 4:26:03 AM #14:	I just started this too! I've played through all the FF's starting with 1 and now I'm here. This game is absolutely so charming, I'm in love with it. ~~btw 8 was awful. might even beat out 2 for worst~~ your comment is kinda funny saying they went back to the cartoony style of 7. 7 felt like a massive tonal shift to being more serious and gritty in both artstyle and world building compared to 6. I think it probably only feels cartoony compared to 8 because the graphics weren't quite there yet, but I think being more like 8 was their goal.

I think the overworld models of FFVII were supposed to invoke old-school sprites. Hard to say that FFIX's artstyle is supposed to be like the old games though. The FMVs in the playstation rereleases for FF1-6 actually use a very realistic style.

SeabassDebeste 01/21/23 8:52:43 PM #18:	So I'm at the 2 hour mark - just reached the next save point. Playing as Steiner was pretty unexpected - he's what, our third playable character so far? - and while I was confused at first, it appears that my mission was simply rounding up the other Knights of Pluto? They're all goofs and I quite enjoyed the comedy here; seems like Steiner has a little rivalry with Beatrix. I kind of hate this character design archetype with the small head and short legs. But he's funny, and it's even funnier when he plays along with the play, acting all horrified when Garnet "dies." I don't understand why Queen Brahne has to look like this, but I supposed she's obviously the (a) villain if she doesn't care about Garnet's well-being other than being alive. The two cutscenes here are excellent. I prefer the first where Zidane, Garnet, and Steiner plummet from the watchtowers; however, the second one - the airship's escape and the cannon-launched harpoons - is also magnificent. Bizarrely, we're at two hours into the game and I'm pretty sure we have yet to have a real battle. We've had a bunch of gag/plot battles but not a single one that was just straight-up. Am I crazy? Is this game crazy? FFVI and FFVII just threw me right into it. The actual plot events and set pieces have been fun enough to carry us, and I guess I wouldn't totally object to the game just being setpieces and plot events... but yeah, feels weird! --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness <cite>SeabassDebeste posted [p:971003042] in Kicked off...

SeabassDebeste 01/22/23 11:16:22 PM #29:	Played for just thirty minutes, saving at the same save point, but this felt fun and productive. Got to try out Steiner for a spin as a playable character - he seems more tank-ish than Zidane. The tree-cage enemies are actually pretty annoying to fight; I have to use a few potions on both Zidane and on Garnet (and later Vivi) to take these guys down, though we're immediately sent back due to their spreading spores into our friends' pores. Ick. I'm enjoying the kind of lighthearted tone. While the shipwreck is pretty dark still, Zidane is way more fun than Cloud or Squall. I think going from age 21 -> 18 -> 16 was a pretty conscientious decision on Square's part. There are plenty of jokes about him just chasing a cute girl, and people are basically on board with it. Another fun aspect is the Moogles as save points. They're just over-the-top cute - like who asked for this? Doesn't matter, it's pretty great regardless. After a quick duel with our boss, we've gotten the go-ahead to rescue Garnet, and now we get to build up our party to three with both Steiner and Vivi. The adventure begins anew next time! These ATEs are so utterly random of a mechanic, but I'm kind of liking them. What exactly inspired this?!

The only knock that I have on FFIX is that the combat is a bit...slow but keep having fun playing the game man.

Murphiroth 01/23/23 11:52:52 AM #38:	Game's combat speed is the biggest knock against it and that was at least fixed with speed up options.

Nah, most character's uniques change (Zidane's Skill becomes Dyne, for example, with each skill getting changed to something else, while Vivi's Black Magic becomes Double Black, allowing doublecasting).
