Like early game i had to farm some ability orbs because i'm having Yuna learn Lancet and the base black magic spells and having Lulu learn lancet and the base white magic spells for some overlap. So went thru a lot of ability orbs.

On the plus side I now have 2 nice starter mages that are versatile and can use lancet to restore MP.

later in the game it will be very easy to get the orbs and there will be an ability to get orbs you want.

I don’t remember this orb mechanic at all from OG play through.

Jumped into FFVIII ... crazy enough, was near the end of disc 2. Trying to regroup on what the hell I was doing last time, most of it came back, but will probably go watch some videos.

I forgot with the remastered version, that you have the speed up time, no damage, and no encounters. So at 16 hours to hit end of disc 2, is probably way under normal time.

I don't know what it is, but just don't ... have the same feeling of indulgent with the VIII characters like that of VII or IX in that era.

VIII is the only FF I have never completed. Wasn’t feeling it in 1999 just messed around with the TT mini game.

Glad I'm not alone! Although I never finished ORIGINAL (JP) II/III as well.

Also, Skyrim... Bought it 3x, started various times, still haven't finished. Loved Oblivion.

Now Skyrim is on Switch for $30, to buy it again? Hrm.

I put 70+ hours into FFVIII back in the day. Triple Triad was where it was at. Final boss and Omega Weapon were so easy too from being maxes out on levels.

Gamefly used game sale, FF7R is $19.99

I picked it up since I'd rather play it with the 60 FPS update when it's released

Just finished the main story of FFXV after 62 hours. Probably could've finished in 40 hours if I wasn't so OCD about the side quests. Overall, the story was pretty bad...or at least the storytelling was. The fact that you have to play all the DLCs, watch Kingsglaive, watch Brotherhood and read all this extraneous stuff to get the complete story is not a great thing.

Plan to tackle the 4 DLC episodes over the next couple days as well.

Once I'm done, at least that's 100+ GBs I can delete off the PS5 HDD.

this is why I don't intend to play it, ever.

I feel pretty comfortable with the story after only the game and kingsglaive. I understand where the dlcs will expound but don’t think it’s necessary to get the main idea.

I bought the XV DLC's, never went back and played them. The game had its moments but I was done...

I've played most of main line games starting from IV (except V & Lightning Returns) and felt obligated to beat it since I bought the Deluxe Edition on Day 1, even though I ended up playing the Royal Edition from the PS5 Instant Collection.

Honestly I’m trying to recall a good FF story line. I guess US 2 is my fave. 3 is ok too- but they’re generally convoluted AF and overrated story wise imho. Working on X again now and it’s silly.

FFIX’s story is pretty straightforward, it’s just a long game so details are bound to slip through the cracks throughout a play through. Either way, IX is the most consistently fun and cohesive story out of any FF I’ve ever played.

Aside from me hating the gameplay so much that I stopped playing early on, just the intro to XV’s story was convoluted and silly. I can’t even imagine where it goes from there, but it didn’t look good.
