Nintendo Switch #3: More than 1 year later

[Jovavic]

Unsure how well it has aged. That game is slooooowwwwww.

Definitely my favourite of the 3D Final Fantasy games but that was.... 19 years ago

I read that it's the PC port which includes fast forward? Maybe I read it wrong

I just focused on clearing lines any way I could rather than trying to chain combos and finished 4th.

I’ve got a long weekend of solitude coming up, so I’m kind of looking for a slow burn game to tide me over. Plus I haven’t played a 3D FF game in quite some time, and I got this random itch a few days ago to play through a JRPG.

I’m glad to hear you liked it, though. I really did not enjoy FFX at all, so I’m hoping there isn’t too much of that game in IX. I was 8 years old when IX came out, so I completely missed the boat on playing through it when it was popular to do so.

Aside from having a character named Cid and chocobos, there's not much in common between IX and X. Getting spells and abilities are different, they are tied to weapons and armor and you'll learn them when you get the right amount of AP after battles, so there's no Sphere Grid. Setting is better, characters are better, story is better...I can't think of much that X does better, aside from graphics, but even then, IX has some great CGI sequences.

I've had my switch for a week and I've yet to use it in the dock. I ran into an issue last night when it tried updating the youtube app, the screen just went off and I couldnt turn it back on. I held down the power button for 30 seconds after reading an article online and it finally turned back on...is this normal?

The characters and story were my main point of contention with regards to X, so if IX is better on those fronts then I have to assume I’ll enjoy it.

Interesting, I really enjoyed FFX. Everything, the story, the sphere grid, the battle system, the blitzball, the characters... One of my fave games.

I don't believe so. I've never had this happen to me.

Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. My favorite FF is still VI, followed by Tactics and then probably IV. I guess I didn’t care for the jump to 3D once the games hit the PS2 generation of consoles.

Just saw this as well

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The new boss of NoA is named Bowser.

I mean...

 

[Papa Francouz]

Oh my goshness. Don’t go, Reggie.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

The new boss of NoA is named Bowser.

I mean...

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I'm actually kinda sad about this. All the best, Reggie.

 

[DCDM]

So our bodies can never be Reggie again?

I'm really sad about this, Reggie has done so much for Nintendo. I will miss his presence. All the best.

 

[Commander Clueless]

They can't lose Reggie!

He's a legend!

 

[rangerssharks414]

The new boss of NoA is named Bowser.

I mean...

That's amazing.

And I still can't break through for Tetris. It's so frustrating.

[HanSolo]

God I really wish there was a gif of Woodhouse crying out for Reggie on that merchant schooner.

 

[Pilky01]

Reggggggiiiiiieeeee!!!!

 

[rangerssharks414]

I guess I'm playing too much. I'm getting ganged up on so much that I'm losing after a few minutes.

 

[robertmac43]

Okay I'm about to finish Octopath (finally), what is the next long haul game I should tackle for the switch. I have played Odyssey and Zelda at this point as well!

 

[rangerssharks414]

I have codes for Splatoon 2 (yes, I know that's an "old" game) for an Online Jersey and Online Squidkid V Shoes for the character. If you want one, @ me, and I'll message you one.

 

[CutOnDime97]

Cannot get the W in Tetris 99. 4th is my best finish so far.
