Final Fantasy V is getting a re-release?!

well atleast you didn't say 6, then I would know you wear a fedora

>20 dollary doos for a 20 year old game
Haha no. Try 10.

I'll buy it after I beat FFXIII

Ye! I wouldn't really say the best, but definitely buying it. Triple Triad is the best mini game by the way.

I pre-ordered because someone on Yea Forums was crying about it. Can't wait.

Triple Triad gets old fast. The only good JRPG minigame is Xenocard.

Censored shit, pirate

Is the junction/draw really that bad?

I'm going through it blind once it comes out; any tips?

For some spell, the rest you can just convert your Triple Triad cards for an easy 50-100 spells. But everyone like to act like they forget that for some reason.

Not gonna lie, I fucking suck ass at triple triad

Censored pubes = no buy

huh?

They removed the Bush from the summons (siren for sure, Shiva probably as well)

>Is the junction/draw really that bad?
The only people who think draw is bad are the morons who spend hours upon hours drawing 300 of every single spell, then junction it and complain the game is now too easy.

I view it as a mix of Materia and Blue Magic and honestly that makes it the coolest shit ever to me.

>Your enemy has Fires
>You can store up to 99 Fires
>You can steal 11 from your enemy in one turn, storing them for later, or you can use one of your ENEMY'S spells against its ally
Coolest shit man

nah, G-bike

Draw a handful of cures and a few basic elements early on - like 20-40. That's all you need to to start.

Most of your magic should come from turning cards into items and then those items into magic. So prioritize unlocking the Card ability to turn enemies into cards, you get it from Quetzacotl. Each time you get a new GF prioritize the refine items/elemnts abilities.

Don't draw 100 spells from every enemy you encounter and never bother summing your GFs. That's how retards play.

This, but I'd even argue against using rare cards for the conversion thing, cause shit like 100 tornadoes junctioned to strength really break the game

But I like watching the summon animations..

No. Blurry backgrounds and cringe faces? No thanks.

What party are you gonna roll with? For me it's Quistis and Irvine.

I also forgot to say you can keep certain party members on critical for limit break spamming, it's a high risk high reward strategy but it may also become game breaking.

WHENEVER SANG MY SONGS

ON MY OWN

FF5 kind of sucks. It's not exactly bad but it's not good either. It's more fun than 4, the characters have more expressions etc, but the story is kind of thin and most of the game is just battles, mostly consisting of forced dungeons of one sort of another you have to go through.

FF6 is objectively in the top 5 games in the series, the top 5 being FF4, FF6, FF7, FF8 and FF9. It's not THE best but it's better than both 7 and 8 in many ways (not in every way, therefore it's inferior to them overall).

What are some games with a "real fantasy" aesthetic like VIII?
XV came close but most of the world was wilderness and samey outposts.

Junction wasn't the problem. FFVIII punished you for leveling up worse than any game I can think of, except for Oblivion.

More like Censored Fantasy 8

MORE LIKE MEMELANDS 2

More like "I enter threads to series/games I don't like just to spend my day shitting on it"

it's worst than XV

I know, FF6 is just that bad

is this also coming out on PC?

I love FF8 and fapped to Siren and Shiva as a kid, that's why I hate that they got censored
Just let me play with the og graphics

I'm going to laugh if it just the PS4 version, though I doubt it simply because Square Enix is too lazy to have two different versions

That's probably the biggest issue in the game. Just get this card, change it into magic, junction to attack and boom, you're set to effortlessly run through everything the game can possibly throw at you with no challenge whatsoever.

THEN DON'T DO IT.

Fucks sake. Nobody forces you to. Do a no spell run.

I don't understand the purpose of the system being like that, it sounds like it's suppose to cut down on level grinding like getting curbstomp by enemies or a boss at a certain point and grinding to get better shit to breeze right thru
Its just very unconventional which is why I want to play it

They have an Ethics Department now

redpill me on junctioning and item refining and all that weird shit that I never did as a child when I last played this game

Shiva never got censored though

Yes, I am.

Censored, so no

everything BUT squalls face looks good, he looks way to young

this
squall looks like 14 when ingame he's 17, the pixel mess from the ps1 game "looks" older but the remaster looks like the guy from ff 15 younger

>Best Final Fantasy is back in 3 days.
Chrono Trigger? Only game to do atb right

he's 17 he isn't supposed to look old.

>Should we unlock the game on the weekend?

Good job

fair enough he does look too young in the remaster though also way to asian anime like, for final fantasy

Junctioning was actually an interesting concept, but has majors in itself and the entire gameplay structure surrounding it.

How do I make FFVIII fun? I like the locations, the sidequests, and various memorable scenes, but the battles are a complete joke where you can just spam attack and win handily.

Turn off battles.

I really love 8, but I don't see how it could be anyone's favorite out of all the mainline titles.

I mean, there are people who consider XII their favourite mainline title.

FFVIII remake when?

>spawn

I always loved 8 more than 7 even back in the day

This will be my 20th attempt to try and beat the triple triad quest line. I always go fuck it somewhere midway because random.

Not buying it, but sure.

Qusitis is King

Ah yes, the contrarian's FF of choice

FF8 is garbage, play FF9 instead.

I always stop at the jump rope. I cannot continue until I hit 1000.

let me know when we get a real ffvi remake that isn't handheld trash

Will I be able to use the d-pad for menus and shit this time?

Nobody likes 9, even back when it came out.

Improve your skills instead of whining.

Triple triad with less rules is the bees knees. When every fucking rule gets thrown in though thay shit gets fucking ridiculous. I remember losing 3 cards with aces on them to the dude in the ending that has every card, hed drop one card and take the whole board.

Not really. I 100%ed the game twice, why do I need it again?

I will hype once the pubes restoration mod rolls out

I don't care who debunked this theory, it can be the very former CEO of Square and he'd still be wrong

It's decently fun, but really fucking easy if you're not retarded. The only people who really complain are actual retards or people who played it when they were kids and couldn't figure out how to junction so they tried grinding levels instead.

Censored trash now. I won't get it because I refuse to support censorship in any form.

what a candyass roody-poo

Can somebody explain this "censorship" meme to me? I see that they made some alterations for aesthetic reasons, but I don't see how anything has been censored. It's not like there was anything racy in the game to begin with.

So are you supposed to just spam limit breaks to win? That's what I did on my first playthrough without a guide. Just kept Squall/Zell/Irvine at low HP and had them wreck everything.

It's literally nothing.

Its hard to care about those low poly models but they went out of their way to reduce rinoas cleavages which is pretty damn petty

yes user, they redid every model in the game just for rinoa's cleavage. my dick will never get erect again, oh woe is me.

I'm a candyass roody-poo until they come for your shit too.

Holy fuck that was annoying on console because of where she was located. You had to make that run every fucking time you failed

can't wait for pc mods to fix his face.

what a onions opinion

>Are you hype?
no, enjoy your censored, ethics department approved downgrade

For some reason it's the only FF that i never got the urge to replay desu.

I think the updated design looks better. Again, it seems like an aesthetic decision, not censorship. If they changed the Girl Next Door item, which is blatantly a porno mag, to something "kid-friendly", that would be censorship.

>it seems like an aesthetic decision, not censorship
fuck off to retardera and dilate, tranny

What are you talking about?

Not an argument, autismo.

>I think the updated design looks better. Again, it seems like an aesthetic decision, not censorship.
This shit again?
Said the same shit about Tifa who likes way better in Dissidia, so its certainly not an aesthetic decision or "Incompatible with modern graphics" or some shit
I'm not really that agitated over it but stop taking these positions just because you think it makes you sound smart. Dissidia Tifa looks pretty damn aesthetic to me

Attached: tifa-dffnt-1[1].jpg (2000x2000, 181K)

What's the plot reason? Why is time compression stopping you from entering towns? How come your spaceship isn't affected? Why aren't dungeons affected?

Who the fuck was talking about Tifa, you sperg? Is every instance of altering a character model for a remake exactly the same in your world? Can you not dissociate them at all? They slightly altered Rinoa's costume, and I think it looks better.

Yeah sorry you're just retarded if you can't follow such a simple conversation

The correct answer is 8

>point
>yeah but UNRELATED POINT
That's not a conversation, it's a sperg having a fit.

>Finished the game like a thousand times already
>Can play it for free on my phone while i take a shit
>This remaster is censored
Nop.

>UNRELATED POINT
Yup you're retarded

Alright, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. In what way is Tifa's redesign related to Rinoa's, other than the fact that they're both simply different from the original?

This. Make sure GFs learn all of the Refine abilites. Your magic / item worries are now solved.

Because people also claimed that Tifa was redesigned "for aesthetic reasons" as if her old design/model wouldn't translate well into current gen visuals, even though her Dissidia model is based on the original design and looks completely fine, and arguably better than the redesign. It just isn't an argument.
Which means they went out of their way to adjust her cleavage when recreating her model, which is way more petty than the people complaining about it. You don't have to sperg out about it like others have, but don't make up excuses for it.

No Junctioning playthrough.

Its doable, but difficult. You need to do some planning.

You never get to junction a GF for any reason. This leaves you with Limits and Attacks.

You can consider this playthrough beat once you get to the save point before Ultimecia. She is technically beatable, but her first form has way too much randomness involved (she chooses the first 3 characters for you and immediately curses them meaning no limits and you NEED Invincible Moon or some serious Slot luck). Assuming you get through her first phase with the team you want you have the rest of her bullshit to deal with.

I actually enjoyed playing through the game like this. Encounters revolved around using the correct party members at all times and really knowing how the game works inside and out.

yes user, they went out of their way to redo every field and battle model just to adjust rinoa's cleavage.

I didn't claim that. Nobody in this thread said anything about that. It's not relevant to the discussion. You're treating that case and this case as though they are identical, which they aren't.

If you don't think the costume alteration looks good, fine, we can talk about that. If you think that Squeenix went out of their way to change it purely for censorship reasons, you still haven't made a case for that. My one and only point was that it seemed like an aesthetic decision because IT LOOKS BETTER.

Sounds like it puts off brainlets

I really like the game, but I don't want to support a censored product.

I've never played XV, is it really that good?

XV is the fourth best Final Fantasy game after the Lightning trilogy.

It feels like 20% solid Final Fantasy fluffed up with 80% ubisoft game-design shit, checklist after checklist of menial tasts and meaningless encounters, boring overworlds that only exist for the sake of it etc etc
Its a miracle they managed to salvage the game, but that doesn't make it good in the slightes

My only grief is that the junctionning effect on stats depends on the quantity of that one spell you have, meaning if you use it, your stats go down.
It should have only taken the spell into account, so that the first time you encounter it and aquire it means you basically increased your stats, assuming you try and find the best ones to junction.

It is easy enough to junction spells you don't need to use to stats you want (tons of the non-staple spells have high stat benefits).

Plus, in some cases they replace the actual spell fully. Having 100 Hastes or Triples junctioned to your Speed eliminates the need to even use Haste because your bar fills so damn fast.

I was, but then I saw how bad the backgrounds look and how they censored Siren's bush, and I thought "I've already played this game 5 or 6 times and still own the original anyway. Plus, I'm probably going to watch people play it for the first time on YouTube and they'll enjoy it more than I would if I played it again. No need to buy/support this."

I bought FFVIII back when it was first released, bought it again a couple years ago on steam, and I will not be buying it a third time for $20. Maybe if there was some upgrade option for people that already owned FFVIII, I would get purchase it. But I will pirate it, though.

it's fun to see other people's reactions to things you enjoy. It's that simple.

I was a kid who couldn't figure out how to Junction and I still made it to the end.

There's is nothing wrong with bush! Fucking ethics comity.

he ruined the economy

Enemies leveling up is dumb. The enemies you fight at the beginning of the game should feel easy when you get to the end of the game. Making them scale is just a simple but ineffective way to solve the problem of how easy proper junctioning makes the game.

never understood this line of thought
i'm pretty sure the enemies learned new abilities as they levelled up, which made fighting those old enemies remain fun
it's not like the difficulty is oppressive when the monsters level up, they just learn some new tricks to keep you on your toes

i don't think playing in an optimal fashion is necessary
kids who didn't understand the junction system could beat it by just spamming GF's

Don't read any guides, especially ones that teach you how to break the game. Because you can.

Take your time in disk 1 because it's comfy as FUCK bro. Talk to everyone. Enjoy the card game. And the unique-ish music. Not many other FF games are as jazzy.

Just use the Moguri mod.

The correct way to play FFVIII is to almost completely ignore the Draw/Junction system because fiddling with it will make you overpowered very quickly.

Just draw one of each spell from each enemy you encounter. That's all you need to beat the game while keeping it challenging and not tedious. Only faggots waste their time drawing 100 of each spell or refining cards into 100 ultimas so they can oneshot every boss.

Just download the original and play it through ePSXe and don't stretch the image; select "use window size in fullscreen mode" and set it to 640x480 (2x) or 960x720 (3x) at most. That way the pixels don't get too large. Only ePSXe can run this way.

Also important: UNCHECK "subpixel precision" under GTE Hacks (unchecked means it will look closer to PSX).

ePSXe is a complete garbage emulator and should never be recommended. It has ALWAYS been shit and makes every PS1 game look ugly as fuck. The correct course of action is to use Retroarch with the default PS1 core which actually emulates the look of PS1 games correctly.

It's the best PSX emulator, since it's the ONLY one which can has "use window size in fullscreen mode" which is absolutely crucial when playing PSX era games and earlier games.

Why is that doggo without ears!

Nigga how? It's high & low with basic addition once Plus and Combo are introduced.

BeetlePSX/Mednafen has that too through Retroarch.
In fact you can make the game run at whatever resolution you want. You can literally just move the edges of the screen up/down, left/right to set the resolution.
Also that emulator is extremely accurate while EPSXE is a piece of shit with shitty corrupted visuals and bad sound plugins.
I can't believe someone is actually recommending EPSXE in 2019.

I'm dreading the shitty mechanics, but still want the nostalgia trip.

>updated the music
>updated perfection
how's that?

It has cheats, so you can probably ignore the shitty mechanics and enjoy everything else. That's what I'm doing.

Well shit, now i'm hyped again.

Very hyped. I firmly believe disc 1 of FF8 is the best 10-15 hours of Final Fantasy in the series history. Everything past that is a bit meh but still good.

I'll just emulate the original.

What happened to the physical options on playasia? Can't find them anymore.

there was never a physical version

I made a small typo in that post -- the resolutions you should use is either 640x448 (2x) or 960x672 (3x), since the game resolution is 320x224 -- not 320x240.

Use these settings. These settings give you a crystal-clear, perfect 3x upscale. Whatever you do, make sure you NEVER stretch/filter the backgrounds or apply some silly blurring filter to them, as that will ruin the details.

The only thing you might wanna turn on here is "Texture filtering - Extended wo sprites" to smooth out the everything /apart from/ the backgrounds, BUT that will make the characters models less sharp, battles and the world map blurry.

Did they really not touch the backgrounds at all in this remaster? I get that it was pre-rendered, but is there really no way to reverse engineer it to make the backgrounds not look like utter shit?

These screenshots are examples with those exact settings.

Looks fine to me. Fucking drama queens. Without the smoothing filter on them, they would look horrible. Yes, there is AI thing to make it better, I don't know why they don't use it.

>textures are completely untouched
yikes

Ayyy fuck this

Rinoa has very period specific fashion and dicking with it makes things weird (and considering this is nostalgia bait, fucks with said nostalgia). This applies to her hair as well. It's not even like Tifa whose outfit is partially contemporary functional and partially fantasy and has an aesthetically similar modernized equivalent if she were designed today, Rinoa in 2019 would just flat out have an entirely different appearance based on what is currently in style. So any 2019 sensibility seeping into that 1998 look weakens the entire thing and subtracts from the feeling of the character.

>make the backgrounds not look like utter shit
were you born after 9/11 by any chance?
what a fucking tosser
every single background in PS1 era of FF is an absolute masterpiece

>Did they really not touch the backgrounds
They've blurred the backgrounds using a heavy gaussian blur filter.
See: Every background will be fuzzy as hell.

Are there seriously this many retards who don't know that you can instantly reset the triple triad rules simply by talking to a guy in Balamb town's docks?

Nice. Didn't look this good when I was emulating it. I'll save those settings for later.
Although right now I'll just get the remaster, because I love FF8. Finished it many times, so even if the remaster is/looks worse, I don't really mind.

your whole existence is dogshit
I loved FFVI just as much as the FFs I grew up with despite not playing it as a kid, in fact I never played any SNES games as a kid, how does "nostalgia" explain that
you just have bottom feeder taste, you're human trash

Squall's hair is fucking wrong. And his skintone is off too.

Pfffffft did they REALLY?

For me, it says a lot that I can hardly remember anything about this game when all these years later I remember everything about ff7,ff6,ff9 etc.

It says that you hold onto bad memories more than good ones.

You sound like more of a faggot the more you type, do everyone a favor and end yourself.

Are the fmv sequences getting redone? I hope not. I think they still look great

They probably should be redone because ingame Squall in the remaster doesn't look like his FMV counterpart.

Most likely they have not been remade, for the simple reason that it's cheaper to just re-use them. I'm 99% sure the FMVs are the same, but I'm also 95% sure they will have done SOMETHING TO them like increasing the saturation (resulting in oversaturated inaccurate colors) or increased the contrast (resulting in crushed white and black levels) or applied some blur or sharpening filter.

Personally would've bought this better if they would've just left the game alone like with FFVII and FFIX (I know of the minor things of those two remasters, but they are mostly the same thing through and through with 3x speed and decent framerates).

Even if I find most model revamps agreeable, Squall looks awful and I don't like that they Dissidia'd Rinoa either.

>buying FF8 on Switch when the PlayStation version exists
Don't you want your games to FEEL right Yea Forums?

Emulate the psx on the switch

>not playing the original on your Sony PlayStation
You are smalltime.

I'll play it on my PS3 m8

It just wouldn't feel right on the PS3.

PS3 or PS2 or PSX is a meaningless difference, the most important thing you can do to get a "right" feeling is to use a CRT TV. It's magic.

Persona

Any confirmation if the censoring extends to other versions or is it just ps4?

Also censored Rinoas cleavage and Quistis' limit break animations

it's from the announcement trailer so we can safely assume it's all versions.

>bought this game during the summer sale
>didnt get a chance to play it, finished FF5, FF6, still on FF7
>FF8 gets a remaster before i have a chance to play my purchased copy
I'm actually fucking pissed

well if you still haven't played it i'd say you have a shot at getting a refund, given the situation

Well shit. Guess it's time to ditch Squeenix. You guys told me the Snoy policy was only going to affect niche anime game companies!

Squenix has its own ethic dept now

Just forget about the """remaster""". It would be an inferior experience to the original.

I ditched Squenix on April 1st 2003.

Merger?

And it's clearly Ameritard influenced. Again, time to ditch Squeenix. Shame, I enjoyed ff14

>Quistis' limit break animations
Explain further

Right, and as a result of ditching them from the start I've never become disappointed by any game they've put out. As soon as news came that they would merge I suspected it would be bad for both Square's and Enix's games, and when I saw what they did with X-2 I just took that as confirmation that everything had gone to hell and would just get worse. I played X-2 through a copy a friend had bought, but I've never bought a Squenix game. I downloaded FF12 and played it via emulator last year (mostly just to test how well a new computer build could handle PCSX2), and it was just as bad as I had imagined back in the day, if not worse. But since I spent no money on it and had no expectations, I didn't get disappointed.

I mean I had no high expectations, no hopes for it. I did expect it to be bad ofc.

>what they did with X-2
>one of the best gameplay systems
>uses it on one of the worst FFs and never reuses it again

You're probably getting baited into specific card placements. The AI will put down a card that looks like an easy double for you but their next card will get them a bunch of Same/Plus/etc flips. If a placement seems too good then think about what could happen after you place your card.

Are Selphie upskirts still intact?

black void

You already know the answer to that. Upskirts are way too video gamey and an outdated relic of problematic video gaming.

Yep. The censorship has been shown to be pretty picky. Shiva, for example, is intact.

Why would you even wonder about this? Kinda weird if you ask me.

The Seifer card > Seifer

Go back.

I like looking at womens panties.

Not everybody is autistic enough to play like that and find it enjoyable.
