How were you supposed to know that was over there?

You aren't naturallybut the difference between games then and now is that back in the day this was literally the only game you'd have for years so you had time and developers expected you to just try and everything
>>738529563Unironic real answer zoomzoom, by buying and using the Prima official strategy guide.
>>738529563why do nipponese games do this shit? you'd have to be completely autistic to find some of the "secret" areas that are in their rpgs
Because that's something that FF games have had for multiple game up to that point, FFV even has a theif skill that can help you see hidden paths and the games introduce you to hidden paths naturally by showing you early on in the game a chest just right out of reach and I was able to figure this type of shit out playing these games blind.
>>738529563by getting good.
>>738529801>you'd have to be completely autistic to find some of the "secret" areas that are in their rpgsWellYeah.
>>738529563You buy the Prima strategy guide, silly.
>>738529563If you've been playing video games since the NES, you've been trained to click on every spot and push onto every wall to find hidden and secret stuff.
>>738529724>>738529761>>738529773>>738529801>>738529912Actually that isn't the full story because the text covers itHere's another screenshot taken after as well to show something even more damningThere was actually a chest there alreadyIf there's a chest there already why would you ever think that there's another one right under it?How were you supposed to know that?
>>738529801>NOOOOOOOOOO HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WITHOUT ANY YELLOW PAINT
>>738529963>shirtless VivianNeed
>>738529563Old school games require you to check every nook and cranny.
>>738530162okay that's evil. what makes japanese developers do this
>>738530218But anon.. it's painted yellow..Well, brownish. But not green.
>>738530162that's what you get for play JRPGs or as I call them GayRPGs
>>738529563By spending an additional $50 dollars on this bad boy.
>>738530379they expected you to put the treasure hunter character in your party who reveals where the chest is
Secrets are cool, and there's no reason you should expect to find everything.You won't get everything in life either so if that upsets you so much then just die I guess
>>738529563if you aren't smashing your interact button on anything and everything you aren't even playing the game
you were supposed to stumble upon it after asking "hey why does this corridor go down here"if every player finds every secret every playthrough they're not secrets, they're chores>>738530428brown is a hue of yellow
>>738530615Question for boomers how the fuck could you ever convince your parents to buy you shit like this when they already bought you the game?
By being told by the strategy guide they sold separately.
>>738529563Now you realize, before guides, before gamefaqs, before internet, gaming was full of obsessed autist that will check every part of the game trying to find secrets.
>>738530924because each game and guide got passed around by a whole gaggle of kids
>>738529563>ribbonNewsflash zoomoid.You didn't beat the game.
>>738530924Families had disposable income back then.
>>738530924>>738531010much like your mom
Pixel hunting was just part of JRPGs back in the day
>>738530379To sell the official strategy guide of course.
>>738531079This guy gets it.
I found it without a guide. You see, if you go all the way down left you can go one step farther down then you can if you go all the way down to the right. This indicates that there is something there.Did anyone else in the whole fuckin thread find it on their own? I'm severely disappointed
>>738530991>>738531079>>738530615/v/ would cry this is dishonest game making
>>738529563This was back when gamers were LESS (I said less) gay about this whole "I NEED 10000% COMPLETION I NEED EVERYTHING I NEED TO SEE EVERY PIECE OF DIALOGUE HEY SIRI HEY GOOGLE PULL UP FINAL FANTASY 20 FULL 100% WALKTHROUGH ON YOUTUBE" bullshit.You could put obscure secrets in a game and like 0.5% of players would ever find it. Then they'd tell their friends who would never believe them, until they try it and see that it works. It created a fun and interesting atmosphere of gaming where mystery was well and truly alive. It is also important to note that something like a Ribbon is not necessary to beat the game. That is another thing, modern games are also obsessed with getting the strongest top tier best build ever and the best weapon and items and everything and if they are 99% efficient instead of 100% they cry. It is cool to learn that you missed the super secret strongest sword in the entire game after you beat it, because if you play the game later you have some cool goal and mystery to work towards. You didn't need it to beat the game so stop whining.
>>738531174It's still better than what we have today. Coin-eaters and guide-only secrets aren't anywhere near the level of actual scams and psychological manipulation that we see in the modern age.
how was i supposed to know this was not a porn game?
>>738531268Buying the strategy guide
>>738529563old rpg expects you to press A on any object and walls to find secrets
>>738531268It says beach volleyball on the cover
>>738531227I blame TES and Bethesda for this current mindset gay gamers have now
Fact, FF versus 13 was always designed to be a cuck story, Fact.It's even in the name of the game versus 13 didn't desrve a real name because it's a cuck
>>738531354You mean the tiny text right above her vagina?
>>738529563You're not supposed to get everythingFF since 4 was always balanced like that
>>738531227Very well said. Hit the nail on the head perfectly. I don't know when things changed but back then people used to accept that they don't get or even need everything but now they must and will even ruin entire quest lines by looking up a wiki to see which option gives the best reward then also cry if the rewards are divergent.
I played ff8 and Edea casted death three times in a row in 20 seconds, this game is pretty hard
>>738531474>43, it had an absurd amount of secret buttons that open secret rooms with chests and shitIt was a wall-checking simulator
>>738531646Generally when that happens you reset fight to get a chance where RNG doesn't just straight up fuck you.
I can't really remember but i think an NPC drops a hint about there being a secret on such-and-such floor. NPCs could have useful information if you just talked to ERROR
>>738529563by playing the previous 5 games that teach you about this
For me what's worst is missable stealables. If you don't have a guide there's literally no way you would know that :A. You need to steal it from a certain enemy or bossB. You'll never see that enemy or boss againC. That was the only way to get that particular itemYes you could spend your entire playthrough stealing everything but given the success rate and essentially taking one of your party members out of the equation for every fight it was an extremely tedious affair.FFIX starting you with a thief class is particularly egregious for this.
>>738532256there are no missable stealables in 690% of them are just potionsthe other 10% are random weapons you can buy in shops
>>738532256Stealables are supposed to be taken as bonuses, not collectables.
>>738531268IT'S NOT???
>>738532256now I'm paranoid. Which stealable is actually missable?
>>738531079this for real. i have some, both officials and unofficials
>>738529724Why has no one mentioned FPBP yet?
>>738529563>not mashing confirm the entire playthrough to find secrets in any gamengmi
