@camwriter.bsky.social @maybemonica.bsky.social @arcanecrystal.bsky.social I would love to hear you discuss Final Fantasy Tactics because I would love to hear you discuss the Delita Ovelia relationship. FFT is the best FF because its an Ogre game and the elements that drag it down are all from FF.

@arcanecrystal.bsky.social Snow in FF13 bothers me so much.
If Locke from FF6 was in FF13, locking his dead girlfriend on a bed in the basement for years would be the good and normal thing to do.

@arcanecrystal.bsky.social @camwriter.bsky.social @maybemonica.bsky.social I am very interested in what your reaction to FFX-2 will be. I havent played it since it came out, and bounced hard. Felt almost criminal to me, but I was also 14 at the time.

@camwriter.bsky.social @maybemonica.bsky.social @arcanecrystal.bsky.social Its my understanding Auron's arm in his robe is a reference to Kurasawa films, such as Toshiro Mifune in films like Yojimbo. Who also makes an appearance as an aeon!

@arcanecrystal.bsky.social 20 hours into FF13 and its losing me. At first I wanted to throw Snowe out a window. Then I liked him as a deconstructed hero who's actually a total asshole. But now the game looks to be playing it straight and I want to throw him out a window again

@arcanecrystal.bsky.social @maybemonica.bsky.social @camwriter.bsky.social You guys got through FF8 and are almost finished releasing FF9 and in the same time I'm... 14 hours into FF13. Nintendo better release some Zelda games because I'm not going to make it.

@arcanecrystal.bsky.social If you dont mind me asking, do you like Linux and what distro are you running?
I fell down the rabbit hole after hosting Foundry VTT on a raspberry pi, converted my gaming PC into a server, and the only reason I'm not running a full self hosted suite is work and family.

@camwriter.bsky.social @arcanecrystal.bsky.social @maybemonica.bsky.social FF9 rushed different than Xenogears. XG disc 2 sits a character on a chair in front of a bitmap and a swinging cross necklace while you read a novel, they skip to the boss fight and eventually Chuchu dies for our sins.

@camwriter.bsky.social @arcanecrystal.bsky.social @maybemonica.bsky.social No friction from me on the FF9 coverage. I always thought it was overrated. Freya, who has the coolest design, is wasted. First use of western Zodiac is Tactics, which FF12 is a distant prequel to.

@arcanecrystal.bsky.social I'm about 4 hours into FF13, pleasantly surprised so far. Didnt expect to like it based on rep, chars rubbed me the wrong way initially, but pretty sure that was intentional and I'm here for it. Love Lightning, and I can't get enough of her punching Snow's face

@camwriter.bsky.social @arcanecrystal.bsky.social @maybemonica.bsky.social Key to Ft Condor is to be aggressive. You can add units anywhere behind the battle line, and you get gil back from units who survive. Have everyone charge the enemy, and keep adding units and win before the commander comes.
