I really like the first game in the trilogy but I was not a huge final fantasy fan. As others noted it was different.
I appreciated it was more action based and linear which made it easier and more accessible for someone who normally didn't play a lot games like final fantasy.
Most of the issues the core final fantasy fans had were pluses for me or irrelevant because I hadn't really played earlier versions for long.
I don't think it was what any traditional final fantasy fan was expecting at that time. The only other final fantasy game I've spent time with and enjoyed in a similar way was final fantasy xv.
Seemed like a purposeful effort to try to make the franchise more accessible without alienating their core which didn't quite work out.
A truly bad game these days would be shovelware. So if I were to be granular, I'd say the game systems are good, world designs are bad, lore is inscrutable, characters are stupid and story straight garbage.
How you weigh those aspects of a game will change the metrics of whether something is bad or mediocre, as a package.
Nope, it's completely real-time.
It's "turn-based" in the sense that you pick your actions from a menu and everybody has their own action speed (and actions have their individual costs), but there is no wait mode and everything proceeds in real time.
It's a surprisingly smooth system once you get in the flow of acting/casting and paradigm switching. It's more fast-paced than you might first expect, but it all works really well.
The funniest thing about it is it's going head-to-head with Red Dead Redemption II. "No job too big, no pup too small!"
FFX does have a strong story though. I felt like I was playing a movie. Tidus' relationship with his father, and the game's take on organized religion are particularly interesting.
Y'all don't remember the Wall of Fayth like I do

My monitor died and it will take a while to fix it.
Is it possible to copy the save of a game to use on the other home PC that I family share with or I need to login on my profile all the time?
If it is possible, where is it?
The game is Full Metal Furies and I don't know if it supports cloud saves.

Finally, a crossover for me.Just seen this. Still hella shook, shaka brahs.

Excuse me, but this is the real one.
I thought I might as well complete my own challenge to help the ball going. Haven't done an ironman game of France in awhile so it was pretty fun.
Azur semé de lis or:
Getting Toronto:
Did the Big Blue Blob achievement again along the way to see if I can do it in patch 1.25.1:
Was interesting to see how Paradox's nerf to "piggybank nations" worked out to hinder player aggressive expansion. Took and sustain almost 10 loans for more than half of this playthrough.

Would've been better thematically if I took the southern route(Balkans) for this achievement, but alas.

Per the game's listing page, it does support Steam Cloud saves, so using that functionality would probably be the easiest route. Alternatively, if you disable cloud saves for the game on the recipient computer it's usually possible to transfer save files manually.
i guess yakuza is just kind of broken for me?
i've only gotten it to launch once, rest of the times it doesn't work...
i'm gonna try updating drivers cos i stopped doing that a while ago since i forget which version was it that damaged your computer in some way

Updating nvidia driver always damage my PC somehow. I always had to recover my Windows installation or reinstall it from scratch. Last weekend, I got locked out of my PC because Windows refused to load and just stuck at loading screen after I updated my driver. So I had to reinstall it from scratch.
Anyway, Yakuza 0 worked just fine on my PC.
the game is just that weird, try disabling RTSS and steam overlay, and reboot if the game still doesn't launch
good to see you bought it, game is fun and fun to talk about
updating my drivers got it to launch (two times at least) but now it runs noticeably worse than before, with constant frame drops/hitches. imma just lower the graphics settings but that sucks, it ran super smooth last night
also already tried rebooting, no idea what RTSS is
try setting priority to high in task manager, should make the framepacing better, i still get random pauses though
Things that helped Yakuza 0 for me:
Open the Task Manager and set the priority of the process to high.
Open local files in steam and run the DirectX installer (Yakuza 0\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSETUP.exe)
Go in your user/appdata/roaming/Sega/Yakuza0
- In audio.ini set AudioMode=1
- If you play borderless without Vsync, manually set MaxFPS=# to your screen's refresh rate FPS cap
Not a compatibility thing, but open settings.ini and change SaveAnywhere=1 to be able to save with the setting menu anywhere.

I love how well Overwatch is optimized on PC. With high settings, I can get fixed 60/4K with my 1070. And damn that game is sharp looking even on high settings.
it runs pretty ok on medium, and i honestly can't even tell the difference with high/ultra
i followed some of these tips tho, thanks, maybe when i try it tomorrow it'll run better
I am still in Chapter 2, the story is still very slowgoing, but I'm already in love with the substories.
It annoys me though, that a lot of them are seemingly tied to the dancing minigame. I'm soo bad at that one.
Mayhap a curious query, but I ponder; does Steam keep a record of downloads that does not reset when the app is closed?
If such a log existed how might I lay my gaze upon it?

heresy! why would anybody skip the most fun to play FF game?!
edited: the best FF game to start with series is still FF4. 1-2 might seem too dated today, 3 is... special. 4 is still great.
(I'm not kidding, restarting helped once it refused to start. This game is weeeird.)
Maybe IX is the best to start with, the highest numbered FF that managed to keep my attention until the end. I have fond memories of VI and VIII too. The big one would be VII but I guess wait for the remake?
Afraid not, he only had two. We are working on something else now, but it's not for PC and it's not a dungeon crawler.
