Metroid66 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Well a 7 run is down to @Maryokutai. I don't mind if everyone agrees as I wanted to tackle the OG before rebirth. Sometime this year was mentioned but that's Mary's show, really. 26 minutes ago, mfnick said: Do a reminder post on Sunday about it and I may join a 6 playthrough. No problem.

Maryokutai Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Not sure if I'm the right person to organise something like that. I might very well just randomly start playing it when I'm in the right mood, so maybe you're better off holding onto your plan of going with VI now.

Metroid66 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 That's fair enough. I'll just pester Och to drop one of his games and try to get mfnick on board. I honestly don't think I could handle any more midgar just yet after struggle/loving/hating my way thru remake. 3 hours ago, OCH said: Rebirth/Tekken 8/Armoured Core 6/Soul Calibur 6. Och pestering phase one. Well let's face it, you don't like rebirth, you should only be playing one fighter at a time, and I've heard Armoured Core 6 is basically a game for small girls. Now let's get with the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junon is about 30 minutes. Costa Del Sol and Gongaga are ten minutes at the most. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Midgar taking an hour or two my arse. A casual play is 6 - 8 hours. Those are speed running times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 My last run took 5 hours, knowing where I was going but no grinding. 'Casual' but without getting lost and stuff so somewhere between that number and HD's is prob right for most. I dunno about averages but you have to take into account PAL->NTSC speed differences as well Also I did fuck up the 'stealth' section in the shinra tower constantly, where you sneak past guards. Fucking dogshit section, that added some time anyway and I got proof of that time, it's timestamped on a vid I posted in the thread. An hour for Midgar is nuts, would be some interesting tech to see tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metroid66 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 And for all these reasons maybe it's time to open up a playthru of 6. Imagine the fun that can be had just moaning about the graphics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metroid66 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Can't find a thread for ff6. Am I safe to assume there isn't one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I was up for joining this. Found my GBA Micro and everything but I've no idea where my copy of VI is. It's be ideal since I wrapped up Persona 5. I'll have another look sometime but it could be in one of the last houses I lived in. Strange, especially since I did find FF IV, VII, VIII and IX 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metroid66 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 You can get a remaster on switch for a couple of quid. That's the one I've got. Looks rather good even on my 4k TV. Wide-screen and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 @HandsomeDead @one-armed dwarfApologies. Misremembering and confused the Return To Midgar section with the opening 😅 FF6 is currently £14.99 on PSN. Ironically, FF7-9 are 60% off at £6.39 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Way I see it, based on these posts the stars are aligning here to dispose of this dumb plan to play FFVI and go for the cooler option of playing Triple Triad VIII. There's even a thread for it right here https://www.mfgamers.net/index.php?/topic/40766-final-fantasy-viii/#comment-171792 edit wait I'm reading my own posts in that thread and that VIII port is dogshit. Abort, back to VI, abort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I've played through FF8 once. I don't care to do so again. I'll consider (aka try not to forget) FF6 for this Sunday (or next?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metroid66 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Metroid66 Final Fantasy franchise run. FF 7 remake completed 11/4/24. The epitome of AAA gaming. A bit overblown and combat heavy for my tastes but a winner overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 So I just looked up the FFVI Pixel Remaster on the eShop just in case I happened to be motivated at some point during your playthrough. But is it just me or does it look inferior to the SNES original? Something about the colours looks off, as if they amped up the saturation to compensate for a lack of depth or something.

Metroid66 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Pixel remaster for me. With that wide-screen it's a bit like Octopath. Plus there's some qol additions for novices like me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Thanks, guess I could have looked it up. I do find the colour palette (and, funnily, the Mode7 shots) more appealing on SNES but yeah, it's not as huge a difference than I thought it was from memory. Kind of odd it's 1.5GB though. And sidenote, but Terra's theme has to be one of the best songs in the entire series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Also Kefka is probably one of the top five villains in the entire series. For SPOILER reasons that a first time playthrough will illuminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
