FF VI DS? I'm missing something here or are you from the future?

Amazing game
What is she wearing?!
3 (Famicom, it's too bad about the DS/PSP/iOS version) is amazing. Stop talking about it like it's not. Stop ittt.
The Interlude is very short, but I wouldn't really recommend it. It adds next to nothing about the plot, and is overall quite meh. The After Years is a good game, despite what people will tell you. Not amazing, not great, but good. Treat it as you would FFX-2 in terms of plot: the plot is meh, but not offensive. If nothing else, some characters return and do cool things.
I'm gona take my words back and take your suggestion. I'm gona skip playing Interlude and instead, find a "Lets Play" of it and watch. I can't stand not being able to change between characters in battle (triangle can't switch anymore, idkwhy) and I'm tired of Trap Doors and Bats, especially when I have no phoenix downs and ethers and keep dying from the damn 9th Dimension attack. On to The After Years!
Interlude was pretty underwhelming. Does your triangle button still work? Cuz you'll need it for After Years.
TAY I found to be good because of its challenge level, if nothing else. Also it makes Palom cool, I think, and it brings back my favorite FF character.

Quick question: spirit and int penalties for heavy Armor aren't applied in ff2 on ps1 right? I've tried multiple times and no matter what nothing seems to make my people lose stats. So I guess my mages will all be wearing mythril shortly?
Stats don't drop in that version, but heavy armor decreases the evasion, which affects the agility growth, so I only recommend using it if you can keep the evasion at 99.
Am I late to the party? I would like to do this.
Thanks!
Go ahead! Even though I put my playthrough on hiatus, I still check in to read everyone else's posts whenever I have spare time.Am I late to the party? I would like to do this.
Thanks!

Don't you know that in JRPGs it's considered bad form for someone not on a quest to look in pots, shelves, bushes, trash cans and treasure chests?
I don't remember which game, but there was some kind of place where the authorities refilled chests so the tourist adventurers could have fun there. Maybe Damcyan's Tourism Office does the same to encourage people to go through the Waterway?
Zelda handwaved all of this by giving us the Minish who exist solely to hide things in pot and bushes.
I wonder from where do they get all those rupies and replacement pots. I'd like to have one of those in my house.

I'm surprised you aren't burned out in general like the last 2.10 FF playthroughs did for me. I don't think I want to touch an FF game for a while, haha. But that's partially because I'm not in an RPG frame of mind. More in a Mega Man frame of mind.Feelin' sorta burned out on this game at the moment.
Nabbing Bahamut/Odin probably mightn't take too much trouble. You can skip over Eden and Tonberry if you wanted to.Now I have to find Esthar, which is a fairly cool part of the game, but man have I ever decided to just nab the remaining GFs in the game and finish it. TOO MUCH EFFORT otherwise for a game I've lost interest in. Hope to move on to FF9 much sooner.
I'd totally forgotten they left that in the DS version.Cecil is a neglectful boyfriend and has to be reminded about Rosa. I wouldn't care about Rosa either, but one has to wonder why they started a relationship in the first place.

Still gotta finish that barebones X4 Zero run for the Mega Man thread, and I think I'm going to revisit MM7, MMnB (finally procured an SFC version, hurrah!), and X5 just for the sake of it (and X3 because someone else put me in the mood for it, but I don't have a copy of the SFC/SNES version at the moment; just the PS1 version and I honestly prefer the SPC 700 music instead). I went back to MM8 and I think a little more positively of it (though, mind you, I'm terribly fond of the FC versions of 7 & 8). Same goes for MM4; I liked the game before, but going back to play the Complete Works made me like it as much as 2, 3 & 5. I was also thinking of going back to Zero 3 or ZXA, because maaaaan, we totally agreed on Zero 3 the other day, didn't we, CorvoSol?
Not playing RPGs for a while and going back to the series that got me into video games in the first place really makes me feel better about how I feel about the medium in general. I was feeling far too disappointed for my own good before starting these Mega Man playthroughs.
Also, damn, my finals ain't over by a longshot. I'm jealous.
Nabbing Bahamut/Odin probably mightn't take too much trouble. You can skip over Eden and Tonberry if you wanted to.
My heart would not like you to skip over Doomtrain, though.
He, playing a bit of Mega Man is always a good thing to get in a better mood (I've been replaying them as they come out on the 3DS VC).
But, CorvoSol: you have to keep this thread going. I want to post my next summary, so we have to make it to the new page.
Ah, Corvo's mention of FF9 makes the fact that almost everyone I know is playing through FF9 at the moment! Lots of people I know, and quite a few GAF members! Professor Beef finished FF8 a bit ago, and he's in the middle of FF9. Lightning Lord is playing FF9. Kayos is playing FF9, though I don't know if he still is. Now Corvo! Shoot. I should play FF9. (Nah; I love that game to death, but I'm not ready to come back to FF just yet.)
I tried to beat the first Mega Man once but a certain boss didn't let me pass, even with save states! (-_-
On-topic, a certain game stops me from doing FFIV updates right now. BUT, thanks to it now I understand why Cecil and Rosa stick together: She has an infinite supply of pies to lure him.
So what's GAF's consensus of the FF7 digital download from the square enix store? Is it worth it?
You know, I've finally left the Stone Age, and got an Android tablet for my birthday last week.
Convince me that Final Fantasy Dimensions is worth the entry point, Corvo, or anyone else who has played it.
