Arek the Absolute Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 The game is almost out, so why not make a thread about it. Of all the ports to come out, this is by far the second most anticipated game to be released this year on my list (the only one trumping it being final fantasy 6 when it was coming out, which says a lot). Good times are a commin, just you wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnforgivingEdges Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Wow, this is the worst official game thread I've seen in some time. For future reference, the correct way to do an official game thread, especially one about the greatest SRPG of all time, is here. See the art? The links? Yeah.

Arek the Absolute Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 believe me ue if i really cared to make an 'official official' i would have actually spent longer than a minute making it for example that mana thread i made that took like 15 minutes that like links a plenty but ooooh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenobio Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Does anyone know if they're keeping the same soundtrack? I'd be pretty bummed if they altered (for the worse) or removed Hitoshi Sakimoto's awesome score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnforgivingEdges Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Does anyone know if they're keeping the same soundtrack? I'd be pretty bummed if they altered (for the worse) or removed Hitoshi Sakimoto's awesome score. Soundtrack is the same, translation is all new. Cameos by Lusa (FFTA; job is "Mob Hunter") and Balthier (FF12; job is "Sky Pirate"). New jobs include Onion Knight (they don't learn any skills bu can equip anything) and Dark Knight (similar to the dark knights of FF11 in that their attacks are based around HP draining to both give and receive damage). Balthier Lusa Dark Knight Job retranslations include Lancer now known as Dragoon and Mediator now known as Orator. Calculators are now called Arithmeticians.

I-n-j-i-n Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 You guys mean Masaharu Iwata. It was a split effort between Sakimoto, quite literally. Also, I'm tempted to buy a PSP if it gets rave reviews. That and Crisis Core and Lumines would be enough for a purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I've heard some pretty major complaints about slowdown... can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnforgivingEdges Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I've heard some pretty major complaints about slowdown... can anyone confirm? There's some slight slowdown with spells and certain attacks. Nothing you can fix because it's hard coded into the game through lazy/inefficient programming.

Hy Bound Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I've been looking at this for a while, especially now since I have a 40 minute bus ride to school. It got a 9.0 from IGN. I dunno, some of their squabbles i don't remember having a problem with in the original, let alone what I could perceive being in a psp port. Aparently there is a lot of slowdown from summons, which i could see being a problem, but even in the ps1 version i didnt really notice any audio mis-synching. I could be totally wrong, but these do seem like quite a bit in the ol' problem bank account, but it still got a 9 from IGN and apparently a 9.5 from PSM. So I'm guessing its not too bad.

Kiyosuki Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 The slowdown can actually be fixed by turning off the big speech bubbles the characters say when they speak the spells. Dude, Balthier is soooo fucking good in this game! He's damn near close to T.G. Cid good. His Sky Pirate unique job has Ninja calibur speed, every Thief steal ability, both of Mustadio's Aim abilities (Aim Arm, Aim Leg) and Seal Evil, he can use Guns/Polearms/Swords/Daggers/Crossbows/Bows right off the bat (and ofcourse more if you want to get the assigned equip abilities.) and best of all he comes with a special unique ability called "Barrage". Its an attack that allows him to attack with his equipped weapon four times in a row, each hit at half damage. It sounds no better than Dual Wield at first but when you couple it with a really powerful one handed weapon like the Javelin II (especially killer) and the fact it has 100% hit rate, and the fact Balthier gets so many turns thanks to his speed you have insanity. Or 4 shots with a gun too. He's the ultimate all around support/direct attack character to Cid's ultimate offense character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamoh Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Are the summons any different from the PS1? I really liked those ones where they were minimalist and a lot like the FF6 ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hmm..this looks like a nice game but...my damn brother has my PSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vurez Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well, I picked it up last week and I'm at the end of chapter 2. The slowdown isn't that bad really. I got used to it. Yeah, it's a little annoying at first but it's definately not a deal breaker, especially considering how awesome FFT is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I hear a lot of reviews say the slowdown was from the too-similar emulation of the slowdown from the original game. I wonder how much of it is due to the PSP loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south pacific islander Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hmm is it just me or is the AI a little smarteer? I keep noticing they come after my mages all the time and they would only come after anyone back in the old ps1 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeCrazyGuy Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Once again for the 30 millionth time: THE SLOWDOWN IS HARDCODED INTO THE GAME BECAUSE OF INEFFICIENT PROGRAMMING Yeah, it alone is driving me away from the game... It may sound like a stupid thing to complain about, but the lag is just so bad that I don't like the game because of it. I had high hopes, too. u_u; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiyosuki Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Are the summons any different from the PS1? I really liked those ones where they were minimalist and a lot like the FF6 ones. Yes, all the in game stuff save the new (beautiful) cut scenes looks pretty much the same. It looks very nice on PSP's little screen too. Dark Knight is an awesome job. Made Ramza one since it sounds like a "special" job and I always wanted Ramza to have a special job of his own. What better job for a misunderstood hero branded a heretic than Dark Knight too? Mettle abilities go great with it too. Plus with the crazy pre-requisites needed to get the job, it might as well be special. I can't wait for my friend to get an FFT of his own so we can multiplayer and get a Dark Sword type. The opposite of Knight swords, they basically raise bravery but lower faith. Makes spellcasting for him bad but since Dark Knight Ramza with Mettle is meant for just kicking insane amounts of ass I figure its not an issue. Makes it so effect spells are actually less effective on him too. An item in multiplayer called Lipstick, and a sword called Durandal I heard really buff up Agrias.
