Shadow: ".you guys are insane." -wanders off- Very glad I got him.Īin't too much I can say about the story and stuff. I no longer had Sabin but Gau to the rescue with Bomb Sap.
Had my first kind of strategic boss, the dude right before Terra has Haste and Regen on and you gotta do something about that. I ended up ditching Sabin due to the note about Shadow being recruitable if you only have three characters. Music, scenery, it's quite impressive how "cinematic" even a SNES game can be. The whole place is beautifully designed and the atmosphere is perfect. I remembered little about this game but I didn't forget ol' Zozo. On the topic of BNW translation, I am fairly certain the enemies in the SNES or GBA version were not called "Junkie" and "Hobo" and random NPC's weren't saying "I get my Welfare check! Hooray for getting paid for doing nothing!" Zozo is problematic in any event, though. I think the fact I have dropped the "so this is the best FF ever, huh?" attitude is probably helping. I certainly can't remember being this invested in the story or gameplay before. I think I can probably go the distance this time around. The thought of running that whole gauntlet again was rather depressing so good game design here.īut yeah, several hours in, I've died lots, also having a lot of fun. I am grateful for the fact that my party being wiped only meant I got them all back with 1 HP and had to try again. And this was my second attempt at Kefka because Kefka kept killing Gau in Round 1 and I kept futilely trying to revive him. He was eating dirt for the last stretch of that Kefka fight. Gau's pathetic 150 HP is not really workable here from what I've seen. True, he is at the lowest level of everyone in my party but he's only one level behind Celes yet she has 100 more HP. So I let Terra and Edgar wipe out most of Kefka's forces before taking my main trio of Celes, Gau and Cyan against Kefka himself but I am noticing that, in spite of Gau being interesting, he has no smurfing HP. Locke said something about a promise but he's kind of boring as a character and useless as a combatant so he can stay here. My Find Terra Team is Celes, Cyan, Gau and Sabin. I've certainly never encountered anything like it in other FF games. Taking on the actual properties of the enemy he is copying is pretty unique. I remember I once asked somebody the difference between Gau and a Blue Mage.
I wonder if this is a reference to the original game or an older version of BNW. "Clear" will not make "Doom" work on bosses, though - that sort of douchebaggery doesn't fly here anymore. I can live with the Soul Train saying "there ain't no gettin' off this train you're on!" So I just have to hope the new translations and jokes are incidental.
#Bnw ff mod mod
I was considering playing this other mod called EvilType but BNW sounds more interesting. So I have started up Final Fantasy VI: Brave New World. (even back when I raved about the story I thought the battle system was dull. They made me like FFIX's combat whereas I used to think it was total ass. Someone recommended I play FFVI with mods. And if I said that some other time, sorry. Farthest I've ever made it is Setzer joining and my memory of the story characters goes only up to the Phantom Train and that whole "three parties" segment.īut I am determined to beat it this time. I was talking with some people elsewhere about how mindnumbingly boring FFVI's sgameplay is and I think that is what always killed the game for me. See, I just bought FFXII HD so it makes sense I'm playing 1/2 FFXII.
