Any tips/advice for the original FF2 and FF3 for famicom? I want to beat the originals before touching any remakes/ports, I did that for FF1 and enjoyed myself. I'm aware FF2 is very flawed and more like a prototype Romancing Saga game with its stats and combat but I'm stubborn. General tips for FF3 wanted too.

Teleport is broken with high spirit (it instantly kills even bosses), So is Berserk with high intelligence. Best way to level is hitting your own party members (lol), and once you get the Blood Sword the game is pretty much beaten.

For FF3, you're going to want to focus on your core archetypes for an easier game. Warrior, Thief/Monk, White Mage and Black Mage. Alot of the classes are relatively niche or not as good. Red Mage is garbage thanks to their equipment limitations. Mini status only means your physical attacks become garbage, so if you're minied, switch formation to the backrow and change to mages or you're going to have a bad time. PAY ATTENTION TO NPCS AND CLUES. One boss(no spoilers) is going to seem impossible unless you learned that hes weak to a certain class. The game is going to seem easy at first but once you get the earth crystal you're going to want to grind HARD.

Important to know is that for a few battles after changing class you are going to have a penalty to your stats, so it's easy to change class one at a time or in areas where the enemies are easy.

A texture resolution mod, one bugfix mod for the minigames, a music replacer (for the PS1 OST) and a tweak to allow battles to run at 60fps. It took about five minutes to install everything. And just for laughs and convenience I pulled all the video content off of the CD-ROMs and put them on my hard drive to make stuff run more efficiently.

Oh and I can play the full game without a bunch of bullshit, terrible writing and time jannies. Or you can skip any of the modifications and bugfixes (minus the Chocobo Racing Patch) and play the full game without a bunch of bullshit, terrible writing and time jannies. Remake fags please kill yourselves. By the time your game downloads and installs I'm further along in the game than you are allowed to play.

Remake has harder bosses than anything featured in the original game.

It's quite a different experience, but there is no lack of game despite not being the full game.

Like if I were to do everything in Final Fantasy 7, breed chocobos, kill optional bosses, acquire all weapons etc., it's still going to take more time to finish everything in the Remake and Intergrade DLC and it's nothing to do with story aspects. There's generally more content there already. They have very elaborate side quests in the remake.

I always go crazy with patches for FF7,FF8 and FF9. I have some stuff for FFX and a difficulty mod for FF12 along with one that improves a couple of textures.

FF8 is kind of a pain because you have to install each patch individually because there are SO many. For 9 its just a simple matter of moguri and maybe some game changing stuff like Alternate Fantasy if that's your cup of tea. I've played these games so many times I don't mind switching things up.

Last time I played 7 I tried out the New Threat mod and it had some pretty cool stuff, never beat it though. Need to reinstall.

I popped on The Reunion mod this time to check it out. Generally speaking I don't use mods that change things other than the graphics (within reason) and basic quality of life stuff. Reunion in particular offers script re-translation and menu bugfixes which I am trying but especially with the script I am doing it only to see what they changed. Some of it has been pretty okay. And some of it is entirely too autistic to live.

The only patch I have FF7 is the one that removes everyone's :O face.

This is a must-have mod along with the Chocobo Race Patch. (seriously the Chocobo patch is essential and time-tested)

Someone get me the FF7R meme image that shows how expensive each disc will be. I don't have it and can't find it.

This was for the fucking bangles and Tifa PS4 background.

I had to drive to the same location twice because the first time I forgot my wallet. Only for everything to be offered for free later. And this was literally the only store around me that sold the right candy bars. If I went to costco not only were they not eligible, you had to buy a box of them.

That being said the Tifa Background is probably one of the best PS4 themes ever made.

But yeah all that DLC stuff was later made free.
