I don't think that 3D really adds anything to a game like this.

The remake removes the spell uses and does the normal MP mechanic for magic.

I actually think this made things worse, the spell use mechanic is a better, more strategic system than using MP. Sure there are some refinements that could be done with it, but the MP thing has been way overdone at this point so the spell use thing is what makes the original Final Fantasy a more unique game. Switching to MP also made it incredibly easy.

No, I completely agree. In today's world of RPGs, its a better mechanic. However, its still the "archaic" system that was mentioned earlier in this thread. I disagree with him that the remakes haven't aged well, but I suppose the same can be said about all turn based RPGs.

Problem with FF1. It hasn't aged well. But hey, if this can get Square to start releasing the old FF games on 3DS virtual console, I don't care how bad it is. GO FF1!

Yes it has, considering, once again, it isn't the original game.














The remake removes the spell uses and does the normal MP mechanic for magic. Also, it lets you save anywhere at anytime instead of at an Inn or a tent on the overworld.

Pacific Rim + CoD isn't even Titanfall. If it was, it would be a far better game than it is. Its more like "Mech thing from Avatar + CoD".

Because Final Fantasy I was a genre-creating masterpiece

no, Dragon Quest 1/Dragon Warrior came first,
-

and why shouldn't we have it available and also for free?

-
Free if you get Explorers, which... why would I.



Why the nitpicking about something like this? Its fantastic news. You're getting something that would cost 10 bucks if you bought it on Amazon right now (FF1 PSP remake) with the added bonus of better graphics and 3D effects. For someone who already planned on getting Explorers, this is a great value. For those that don't get Explorers, it comes out the next month on the eShop. I don't see how anyone could belittle this.

Nintendo Gaming / Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is the perfect game for hardcore FF fans

« on: September 18, 2014, 04:09:48 AM »

I just finished powering through the game for about six hours and I just have to say... for even the most casual Final Fantasy fan, FF:CC is the perfect nostalgia trip. Every other song was something I remember from my childhood playing the older games and it almost made it teary eyed (ruining my score completely D:). And for some reason, even though I never played through the original FFXIV, "Answers" just gets me every time and I end getting a far lower score than I should. Such a beautiful song.

Does anyone else own this amazing game? Do you have a couple songs you love you'd like to share?

Saw some screens on NeoGAF. It basically looks like a 3D port of the PSP version.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Super Smash Bros. for WiiU (& 3DS)

     That is unfortunate. Just another reason for me to get a "Smash Only" 3DS. Or maybe learn how to play with the D pad. (i never could understand how people did that on the Wii)

In another stupid move by Nintendo, you won't be able to do that. Custom controls are limited to flipping the face buttons and turning off tap to jump. The 3DS version is looking worse and worse by the second.

How is it that the prisoner locked in a mountain with no light, who was not a bender, all of sudden not only discovered that he had the newly acquired ability to bend air, but mastered it in that tiny cell?

Mike and Bryan said in an interview with IGN that Zaheer was a master martial artist before he was a bender. Basically, its like giving Jackie Chan a broom to fight with: he can apply his already vast knowledge of fighting to something new. If you look at his style of airbending, he only used it (with exception to flying) to enhance his jumping or punches or kicks. Tenzin, who is a real master, kicked his ass when they fought and actually fought like an airbender would: by flowing like the wind and using the enemies momentum and power against them.

the brothers both unlocked lava bending and electricity bending in a time of need.

Actually, Mako could already bend lightning. He used it in a power plant in season one and actually got the drop on Amon in the season one finale. Then I believe he used it a few times in season two in different fights. He just hadn't used it in season three up until that fight for an unknown reason.

If you could master any of the bending arts, but can only choose one branch till it's end (as Earth Bending seems to split into metal bending or lava bending.... maybe you can do both, I'm not sure)
Which element do you choose? What is the end ability you hope to achieve? What would you do with it?

I used to want to be a firebender. I'd love to be able to wield as that power in my fingertips and be able to manipulate lightning and maybe even combustion energy. Of course, I would use my powers for "good"...

But ever since the season 3 finale I now want to be an airbender for the sole purpose of being able to fly. Its always been a dream (literally) of mine of being able to fly, unassisted, in the air.
