Even if you give them the same magicite and the same spells, the characters are still going to function differently. Locke will always be your only Thief, only Sabin can use Blitz, etc I agree with Interdimensional Observer on this, they dont really make the characters stand out, honestly. Too much situational use or little to no use makes them pretty pointless. Besides Sabin of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I randomly got super nostalgic for one of the first video games I ever played. Ah, memories... I want to play it again actually, but I don’t have a system that can (I have my potato laptop but a game from the console gen of 2008 is too much and the DS versions of these games are watered down). I never did actually finish Villain Mode, I think I only did act one or part one or episode one or whatever the three stories were called. I love how the game gave you the ability to play as the villains. It’s still so charming imo... (says my nostalgia goggles). I remember when lego games didn’t have voice acting and the cutscenes were just like this. You know I loved this game when I played it in the single digits but still remember all the obscure-ish Batman characters they included, despite having never seen a movie of his (other than the lego one) or ever touching a comic book. Rewatching that opening cutscene, there were only two whose names I struggled to remember (but recalled them eventually). 21 minutes ago, Benice said: WAIT, DEAD SOULS IS GETTING A REMASTER?! ...

Lightcosmo Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Ugh why did Tales of Xillia gut the Overlimit system? Vesperia had it perfect! It was fun doing the whole infinite chaining to see your enemy go down after all that. Seeing how well you could combo, doing new things, all the awesome MA's... too bad. Yuri being able to give everyone on the team OVL level 3 was super fun as well! Too bad they had to change that, too. All for the cost of 2 OVL, 12 for the cost of 2... what's not to like?

Lightcosmo Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I hate when sequels of games or later installations gut fun mechanics. Sure, it's broken, but sometimes it can be about having fun. Is that so harmful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see some similarities Ricard/Kain, Gordon/Edward the cowardly prince, an evil Empire (which aren't that common in FF actually) to name a couple. But is this referring to Golbez or Zemus? People living when they should be dying? 47 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Ugh why did Tales of Xillia gut the Overlimit system? Vesperia had it perfect!

I don't think I ever learned how ToV's Overlimit worked. Or at least I don't remember much about it. I don't think I used it more than a few times.

Venger_06 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 3 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: So, most of these have at least conditional usefulness. In the end, and I may have been placing too much focus on it, magic can render their differences irrelevant. But early on, that isn't the case, and Gau and Sabin at a minimum remain distinctive for their abilities for most of the game. 3 hours ago, lightcosmo said: I agree with Interdimensional Observer on this, they dont really make the characters stand out, honestly. Too much situational use or little to no use makes them pretty pointless. Besides Sabin of course. I could be remembering wrong then. Every time I replayed FFVI I never recruited anyone else and always did the CES challenge, so only those three characters are fresh in my memory. Celes' runic was useful against magical enemies, Edgar's tools had inflicted status on enemies and Setzer's dice were a very cool weapon to use. 3 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: True, Zemus's presence is nonexistent and his motivation lacking. Dare I say he makes FE's Medeus look good? Because seriously, Medeus the Shafted Dragon has it better than Zemus. Darth Golbez has to do all the heavy lifting with his ominous presence. Medeus at least has a motivation. 4 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Though Cecil's conversion didn't come literally two hours fast, it didn't take the entire game, but it didn't feel rushed, for me. I can respect your opinion. 2 hours was my game time from the beginning until the part that Cecil becomes Paladin. It was just a metaphor to say that it happened right at the beginning of the game, which usually lasts about 20 hours or so. Also, there's something I forgot to mention: FFIV's level curve is awful. You suddenly go from stomping every enemy to getting stomped by every enemy once you reach the moon. Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Zemus kinda has that "Why should we wait for humans to catch up with us technologically? Let's not wait and take their planet!" angle. Problem is that, yes, he's not exactly in the picture until right the final battle, and then we end up fighting with his malice taken form. 27 minutes ago, Maof06 said: 2 hours was my game time from the beginning until the part that Cecil becomes Paladin.

Did you played IV Easy Type or something... I don't think I have recruited Rosa from Kaipo within two hours at normal pacing.

I'm still not fully convinced, but from what I've gather the 3D version is slower-paced in a sense compared to the 2D one, so... alright. 2 minutes ago, Maof06 said: Yeah, and that's what makes him a weak villain. True. Ultimately, the memorable villain was Golbez anyway. Even if his villainy was the result of brainwashing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
