I would play the DLC's after you complete the game.
What is the best way to go about playing Final Fantasy II?
I have the PSP version, but are there any worthwhile romhacks to other versions of the game to try out?
For that matter, say I am playing the PSP version of the game; how should my progression be like so that my experience isn't tedious by grinding for stat ups etc.?
I personally like the PS1 version of the game since I find the PSP remake too glossy, but that's just me.What is the best way to go about playing Final Fantasy II?

For some reason, there is a mechanic to replace Noctis's model with your Comrades character, and see other folks in the main game traipsing around as well.I am slowly making my way through FFXV royal edition. Currently I am in the post game and I dabbled into the different episodes. I wanted to play some comrades stuff but I am a bit confused. I could enter the expansion from the main game but I can't do anything in there except creating a char. Am I doing something wrong? A quick Google search pointed me to the standalone version but what is the point of keeping that menu point in the main game?

You can even leave treasures points on the map, and the longer it takes to find it the better reward you get from someone doing so.
You wanna go into Comerades itself to actually play it, and join that FFXV Discord thats around to play with others by requesting others help you out, the game has Bizarre netcode and requires simultaneous play and doesn't support quickplay, at least last time I checked.
It's fun and different though, I like it. If you join it (/r/FFXV OFFICIAL DISCORD), @ me and I'll see if I can get my stuff working and try playing with you sometime, it feels like a year since I played but I got far : P
Also, I'm usually keeping an eye on the thread, but if anyone needs a Huge Dork's advice on anything, feel free to mention me in a post here.

wow, so lightning returns is essentially valkyrie profile 3, huh?
WHY THE HELL DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS SOONER XD
I'm honestly surprised how much I've been enjoying it so far. Only on the second day so far, but still. It's tons of fun

It's a shame that no one played this, both because of releasing on that generation consoles only after next gen consoles were out, and because of lack of goodwill for ff xiii at that point. They really dropped the ball when they didn't make a ps4 remaster. I thought we'd get one for sure. This has the potential of being viewed as a cult classic some day, if people actually ever give it a chance (assuming it doesn't get a whole lot worse from here).
I know this isn't saying much, but I think this could the best ff xiii game, despite all its glorious jank
There's a non-official translation around since forever if you wanna roll with that, it's not bad should you want to enjoy the original. The 3D version can be tricky and tough, but it's a fun time.So thanks to FFXIV Crystal Tower Raid storyline, I decided it's time to finally play Final Fantasy 3 (it and 5 are the only SP FF I never even started).
What are my option for playing it ? I know about the 3D remake for DS but is the original sprite-based version ever localized ?
Just wanted to share this because it's the first time I've seen Amano paint Terra with green hair.
I hope we get his key art for XVI soon.

Lol I was thinking if the game had updated 2D version (like FF1, FF2 or FF6). No way I'm going to play the original famicom one....D:
I guess 3D version it is !
Ah, saving the best for last, good choice.So thanks to FFXIV Crystal Tower Raid storyline, I decided it's time to finally play Final Fantasy 3 (it and 5 are the only SP FF I never even started).
Lol I admit 3 and 5 rarely mentioned in any series discussion is the reason why I never looked at them D:
5 is like the Saturday morning cartoon version of FF: very simple, endearing, and with a flexible and fun battle system. I like it a lot.Lol I admit 3 and 5 rarely mentioned in any series discussion is the reason why I never looked at them D:
The end game enemies in FFXV are way too bullet spongey to actually be fun.
Just don't use them. I had ten times more fun replaying XV without using items and always staying at level 1. Some fights will actually require a semblance of strategy to beat.The dungeon in XV that doesn't let you heal is the real challenge in that game. Wish they had a harder difficulty that doesn't let you stock up on items.
The XIV and Terra Wars cross-over events appear to be permanent additions. You're out of luck regarding the AssFest though.

I think the Assassin outfits were added later via a free patch?
Honestly, there's a lot of competition, seeing as it's the generation that got us Souls games. But seriously, Lightning Returns is really really good. Still have a ways to go, but I feel like it could end up as a top 5 final fantasy for me. Which is wild considering its critical reception and the overall animosity towards the xIII games in general. I think you're right that the connection to XIII hurt the sequels a lotI think XIII-2 and Lightning Returns would be considered some of the best RPG's of their generation if they weren't connected to XIII.

I think the doomsday clock turns people off. I went in with low expectations but I ended it up liking it a lot for what it is. Luxerion is cool aesthetically and the OST is full of bangers. I've always felt like XIII-2 and LR were held back by being connected to XIII. Also Serah and Noel > Most of XIII's characters.I'm honestly surprised how much I've been enjoying it so far.

Before playing the game, I did find the idea of the time limit off-putting and potentially stressful. But in practice, it's not bad at all. With chronostasis one really can take almost all the time one needs. And even so, the mechanic is not meaningless, because using EP on chronostasis carries the opportunity cost of not being able to use EP on the other very useful EP abilities (and vice versa) so you still have to make interesting decisions. If anything, I think they erred on the side of giving the player too much time. I'm on day 6 now and I have a good shot of wrapping up the main quests already at this point. I will absolutely finish the main quests by day 7, at the very latest. Considering how much I'm enjoying the game, it would have really sucked if I never gave it a chance because of the time limit, when in the end, said time limit is super lenientI think the doomsday clock turns people off.

There's too much to say and it's already been said before so I won't bother rehashing it, but man how much potential did this game have.
I finally finished it yesterday and I've been playing through the episodes; so far I've really enjoyed Gladiolus and Prompto. I've actually grown to adore this game and appreciate it for what it is, it could have been so so much more but it's definitely a decent game nonetheless
