Final Fantasy II pixel remaster & Next Games
So finished up the second Final Fantasy game on Monday. Not too much to say about it other than the remaster changes are the same on this one as with the first game. Some of it spoils the difficulty like the map - areas that might have been challenging simply because they try to be like a maze are instantly easier when you can just see where the exits are. I would say they made use of floor jumping to make that a little more challenging though.
Got a lot of the trophies without trying - I still haven't checked the trophy list to see what I'm missing although I'm sure they have a "collect all the enemy entries" in the extra info. After the screwy way they dropped the percentage chance of seeing Warmech in the first game (literally hours trying to get one of those and it never showed up.) I didn't feel like trying to find the remaining 3 entries left.
Otherwise it was ok, although the way they got rid of all level and xp for the game and had your skills and stats increase based on what you do took a little getting use to. And I guess they realized they didn't like it as much as they thought given in FF3 they go back to levels - but with jobs.
Next up there are probably 3 games I'll be playing through. First I'll probably go finish off the last couple of things I need to do in Utawarerumono: Prelude to Darkness so I can mark that "complete". I otherwise beat the game years ago. Just a couple extra things to unlock.
After that I'm going to plow through Final Fantasy III pixel remaster. I already started it a little, just enough to get an idea of what's going on. I'll probably start on it properly this weekend.
Then after that's done, before I start in on the SNES era Final Fantasies 4-6, I'll take a break from those and play through Ys IX on the Switch. I may start over from scratch on that one since I was near the beginning when I stopped last.
