They REMOVED "You Spoony Bard!"
« on: January 08, 2006, 12:59:09 PM »
I am in tears and will no longer be considering buying FFIV.

Anyone else depressed by this horrific abomination?

No they didn't. I have the game. When it goes to the battle screen. Tellah calls Edward a spoony bard. Who told you otherwise?

I could have sworn in other reviews that it said the line was preserved, and I swear I saw it myself on my copy...

I've got to get to the "spoony bard" comment before I can comment on it.

What I'm noticing is they'd dumbed down the enemies a RIDICULOUS amount so far.  Example:

I was running around the field around Baron in the very beginning of the game.  NONE of the Imp/Goblins attacked.  Even in a party of 6 Goblins, they all sat there without attacking waiting for me to pick them off 1 by 1.  When I saw a second party of 6, I defended over and over again to see how long it would take them to attack.  After about 15-20 defends, one of them finally attacked.

The MistDragon was similar.  This enemy actually attacked a few times, but she took sooooooooooo long to convert to Mist form all it took was a single attack afterwards to kill her.  I remember her turning into Mist twice normally.

Is anyone else experience this "all enemies are fighting in molasses" effect, and does it last throughout the entire game?

Sorry to threadjack,

Hoagie,

Trust me.  The difficulty ramps up quick.  Expect normal enemies to begin killing some of your characters in 2-3 hits in most cases.

The beginning is pathetically easy, yes, but that doesn't last long.

This is based on a hardtype version of FF4, though I'm not sure exactly which one.

That's good to know  I'll try to power through a few hours in the game to see how it goes.  I thought I read the game was based on hardtype, which really confused me.

Thanks for the good news

I will alleviate all problems.  The line is in there just look closely at the top of the screen and if you cant find it I will personally get to that point again and snap a picture of it to prove it.

Wow. I cant imagine playing standard RPGs after the experience I had with Tales....

Why arent all RPGs like that?

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I was flipping through the Feb. 2006 issue of Nintendo Power and on the top of page 85, they state the spoony bard line is still in the game. My guess - it's in the game.  
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win" must've never met Khushrenada.

Yeah, I'm currently based at PGC's Southeastern Operations - Miami Branch. I wanted Alaska, but Jonny insisted that someone should live on the coast, in case any hurricanes threaten gaming as we know it.

As for Tales of Phantasia, I'm definitely looking forward to it.

Isn't the GBA Tales game more of a traditional RPG and not real time?  I could be wrong, there.

It's real-time.  However, doesn't employ the SSBM-style controls of Tales of Symphonia (I like the simple DIR + B for special moves), but it's still very familiar.
