NNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
rikku is a third rate yuffie
>>744560072sex with tonberries
>>744560309i will NEVER forgive her for doing this to Tom Berry
>>744560072
>>744560309Yes yes you post this in every thread, we get it, you're seething
>>744560309shes not in final fellatio though
>>744560072FFX battle animations are weird to me.I played with the auto-haste animations for long at the end of my first playthrough, that the normal speed animation appear as super slo-mo. And I can't help but notice it, every time I played the game since.It's like there should be a speed between haste and normal. But there's not./autism
>>744560072>"Woooooooow!"
>>744560072this is someone fetish
>>744560891haha...
>>744560434
A dead Al Bhed is a good Al Bhed
>>744560072would
>>744560072First time playing thru FFX here. How are you even supposed to play Rikku?She does no damage and her skills are shit. Al Bhed potions were ok while they lasted but you cant buy them anywhere that I've seen. And if I'm going to spam potions for heals I may as well just use any other character that can do the same while also actually being useful at doing dmg or support. Is she the sweaty "5th playthru minmaxxer build autism" speedrunners choice? Cuz it feels like it.
>>744560072why don't they just capture a bunch of those and drop them on Sin?
>>744564558Rikku, much like a lot of rpg classes, is an alchemist. Her damage is based on item mixing. If you're using her for anything but mixing and stealing, you're retarded. Go look up a mixing chart or something.
>>744564558Yeah she's the strongest character, you just mix items and hit everything for 9999 and steal shit.
>>744564717>Look up the wiki to play the game Nah I'm good. I'll just ignore her the rest of the playthru then.
>>744560072>austin_powers_steamroller.tiff
>>744564749Sorry, you can only ignore one character per playthrough and Kimhari is NOT getting off that bench.
>>744565564desu i've been only really running Tidus Yuna Lulu and ignore most of the others except when necessary lol
>>744560659This Yuna is a bit sus...
>>744560309Rikku is a cooler Yuffie and actually has a niche with being able to Mix.
>>744560659
>>744560891Hey, Chocobos deserve love too! They get us where we need to go
>>744566656Not a bad way to goIt isn't exactly optimal, but supercharging three people to cover everyone's roles is by far the easiest way to play the game.FFX is extremely guilty of entirely pointless, performative depth that the game never actually expects you to use, and just wastes time.
>>744560072What the hell was his problem?
>>744560659Emulators and gacha made old tb games feel like slow motion
>>744568009Wobbling through Step Mine field while carrying Voodoo Chef's Knife and holding Everyone's Grudge
>>744568096I was thinking this on the PS2.End-game, I pretty much had auto-haste slotted into every accessory for the beast coliseum difficult fights.I never played the HD port, tho. Maybe I should one day get around to it. After doing one of 8 and 9, of course.
>>744568185I can't believe Tifa is fucking dead
>>744568907>wasting spot for auto-haste when you can just Hastega everyone
>>744564558She has status effects and huge damage grenades
>>744564558Look up her Overdrive mixes. She is underwater fighter along with Tidus and Wakka. In the end game all characters are same bar overdrives and Yuna's summons who become meatshields
I couldn't tell if a tonberry was male or femaleturns out they're a they slash them just a little tonberry humour I thought you guys would like haha
>>744569414Upvoted
>>744569414
>>744569439Wait how do you upvote
>>744569414Xd
>>744560309Who's the second rate Yuffie?
>>744569549You click the 3 dots and choose to report the post to let admins know the anon made illegally funny post
>>744569559Selphie
>get a thief in FF>literally can not proceed until i steal whatever the enemy/boss has on him no matter how long it takesThis is a curse i remember hyperventilating in anger in FF9 over how horrid the steal rates were in that game, especially on bosses.
>>744569748>>744569756
Boop
>>744569771Hill Gigas from FF9 had Fairy Flute with 1/255 steal chance. You can just buy it couple hubs later
>>744568907Yeah the animations starts looking silly. They should've scaled back the animation speed at least on idle. It starts looking comical, especially when boss enemies move in slow big motions.Especially spells. Using Lulu feels painful
>>744564594There's a karmic component to battling Sin. Tonberries are just murder monks.
>>744569984>monks They look like aliens
>>744570027Only the first one's free, clanker. Say sike rn.
>>744569839For me it was trying to steal from a random goober in the over world for like 30 times only get ether or a potion, instead of, you know, sick weapon that will only become available two towns over.
>>744560309Did someone say Yuffie?
>>744560309>>744567108Rikku is Yuffie if she wasn't optional and Wutai was a core part of the game
>>744569748>>744569756>SelphieBased. I like all three rates of Yuffie though.
Rikku's al bhed potions saved my ass many times.
>>744570234Was wakka willingly drinking those?
>>744569223I was dumb. But my doods would also die a lot, and I pretty much brute forced my way through all the beast fights. In that respect, I guess auto-haste on revive was pretty handy?I also grinded out the sphere grid until even Yuna was bonking for 99,999 with her staff.
>>744570193>Rikku is Yuffie if she wasn't optional and Wutai was a core part of the gameSo Remake Yuffie?
>>744570302>Wakka "better dead than al bhed"No, of course he wasn't willingly drinking that poison
better dead than al bhed, ya?
Did any of the other Final Fantasy games do 11's "Tonberry Hate" mechanic? Their "Everybody's Grudge" dmg did 0 at first, but went up the more Tonberries you killed. There was no cap, so if you farmed the fuckers regularly it would eventually start to do dmg in the 10s of thousands (most players capped out at around 1400hp).
>>744560072>Designed the appearance and gameplay gimmick of arguably the best FF monster (Only competition is the Bomb, and Cactaur which he also designed) Kneel.
>>744570778Wasn't that like always in?
>>744570193They're really nothing alike aside from being on the younger side of the cast.
>>744569414oh you...
>>744570778that is how tonberries work, yes. the number caps at 9999 because no game outside of the MMOs lets your hp go beyond that
>>744570859First appeared in 7 but was exclusive to Master Tonberry.
>>744570964>because no game outside of the MMOs lets your hp go beyond thatUm akshully FFX
>>744570324Auto-Phoneix is good, auto-life not so much because a) the auto-phoenix guy will revive you anyways and b) Rikku's best buff mix bestows your party with haste and auto-life anyways with other buffs
>>744571098oh i never did any post-game stuff in X. beat the game twice over but wasn't aware you could go even further beyond
>>744570778FF6 had the pugs/tonberry use Step Mine that dealt damage based on how many steps you taken. End game it will auto kill you
>>744570874>genki not-quite-adult characterThere is more going on with Rikku because the Al Bhed but they are definitely similar. Hell even right now after a DLC+full game I don't think Yuffie has nearly enough compared to Rikku did halfway into FFX.
>>744570859>>744570964Oh I'm baked af right now and couldnt remember if it was a common thing or not. Been ages since I fought a Tonberry in any FF game.
>>744560379This kills the anon.
>>744571208you can break up early on if you schizo enough
>>744571263>Step Mine that dealt damage based on how many steps you taken. End game it will auto kill you
>>744571208The US/Euro release added more end game content with Dark Aeons and Penance. In OG jap version arena's Nemesis was the strongest super boss but still required you to hit 99 999 and use Aeons as meat shields for Armageddon
>>744571363How? Some blitzball grinding bullshit?
>>744571208>beat the game twice over but wasn't aware you could go even further beyondburger detectedgetting your ass reamed by stumbling on dark bahamut/valefor is a rite of passage
>>744564558You buy 98 maps at the shop before the Chocobo Eater boss. Map + Map = 5k flat damage to all enemies. Nothing in the midgame can deal with that sort of damage. In the late/post game she's mostly a pure support character though. She's got the best buff ability in the game but doesn't have access to good multi-hit attacks so her damage is subpar compared to monsters like Wakka who can shit out like 120k damage with a highroll.
>>744571402You need Blitzball only for Wakka's Jupiter items, celestial weapon and his 2nd overdrive Attack Reels that allow you hit 12 times. It's the game's highest attack damage and you are expected to constantly be able to pull it off. Entrust ability lets other chatacters give their overdrive gauge to party member (Wakka and Rikku, Wakka for attack, Rikku for Hyper Super Mega Mix buff)
Not using Wakka no matter how big his dick is.
>>744571523>It's the game's highest attack damage and you are expected to constantly be able to pull it off.Anima's overdrive?
>>744571627It’s his balls you have to worry about.
>>744571862Yeah, hits 16 times but only if you dont have short summons on as that caps to one hit of 99,999Also not be playing the original Jp and NA versions as that caps as well to 99,999
What is the best version of ps2 FFX to emulate?
>>744571448The original game also had both break damage and HP, the other nigger you replied to clearly never played the game.>>744571375You got it backwards. The EU version was a re-release of the Japanese version with all that content called the International version. US never got that version.
>>744564558the mix overdrive is a guide buyer cheat. look up the best buff you can get with your current items and beat the boss no sweat
>>744572378PAL/International as they have more content
>>744564558Every charCter in ffx is useful except kimari
>>744569223Hastega is slow as fuck and undispelable haste is great.
>>744560072what the fuck is their problem?
>>744572874Why did the do the big blue cat unicorn dirty?
>>744560309CorrectBut FFX is a third-rate game anyway, so it's fine
>>744573848For 2001 it looked great.
>>744569414You fucker.
>>744560072Watch out!
Yuna is overrated
>>744573882It looked great, but the it was a drastically reduced Final Fantasy (exploration wasn't a thing anymore really, no true airship travel it was just fast traveling effectively, etc).Other than the graphics (which were indeed really good), the actual turn-based combat system was actually pretty damn good and sphere grid was nice.If they actually had traditional exploration/world travel and airships, it would've been fantastic. Instead it's just okay. Very far from being the worst, it's fine.
>>744560072You guys laugh but fighting tonberries like this in real life is essentially the same.Imagine all the rocks and hills and crags in the Calm Lands, and you spied the Tonberry maybe an hour ago. Fifteen minutes later, he's 400 years closer. Now he's within walking distance. It seems like a joke but when it happens to you, it's not so fucking funny.
>>744574123I made my peace with it over time and it's now one of my favorites FF in terms of game mechanics but when I was a kid that had imprinted on FF9 as the standard by which i judged other RPGs it was kind of a rough turn. What do you mean only three characters in battle and not 4? What do you mean no overworld? What do you mean equipment is only one weapon, one armor?
reminder that everything past xii happened because the modern audience wanted x again forever
>>744574293Anything having to follow FF9 is a big ask, FF9 was the accumulation of the best of the classic FFs.
>>744574358XIII is structurally exactly the same as X, even down to big obvious stuff like Pulse = Calm Lands = game finally opening.But looking back, XII, XIV, XV and XVI shouldn't be mainline (XI should though).
>>744570391No we're past that. Now it's "better bed that Al bhed"The men can fuck off though
>>744574702Wasn't their a resurgence of anti-albhedanism after Sin came back?
>>744574675XIII’s biggest problem is a lack of likeable characters.
>>744574450It didn't sell that much though, as much as it pains me to say
>>744573817Because his blue spells atthe start are tied to his default overdrive instead of being free use and it isn't until MUCH later on that you unlock the warrior style for him that doesn't have you wait seven years for the overdrive bar to fill up to use a single spell. What a baffling game design choice.
>>744574772FF9 came out LATE in the PSX's life.The PS2 was already out by the time FF9 came out.And that was when Squaresoft was relatively fast with releases. They take far longer these days.
>>744568279This move could REALLY fuck you up early game in SoP
tidus rikku lulu is my main team
>>744574828FFX has a litany of odd design choices>Rikku joins and has her own mechanics. Then she’s gone until the Moonflow river>Kimahri has no defined primary role, making him second best at everything>the cloister of trial dungeons are block pushing puzzles>Blitzball as a whole>The butterfly hunt>The lightning strikesThe list goes on.
>>744574917FFXVII’s not going to see a release until the 2030’s I guess. I wonder what kind of game it will be?
I like how in VII they have an attack you will never see thanks to them only being encountered in the arena
>>744575035Kimahri is number one in one thing, being pure sex
>>744575239Really? With his puny broken horn?
>>744575035>the cloister of trial dungeons are block pushing puzzles>Blitzball as a wholeThese felt like content padding.
>>744575071>FFXVII’s not going to see a release until the 2030’s I guess.FFXXVII bros.....
>>744575314Blitzball is foundational to Tidus and Jecht, so I can understand wanting to make it a playable game. But it sucks to play.
>>744560309Not being a gross oriental makes Rikku far superior. Even asians don’t look how asians look.
>>744575346>Human Revolution was set in the far off future of 2027>HR came out 15 years agoDear god…
>>744575035Blitzball is fun for a bit, but in order to unlock all the reels you have to keep resetting it (putting every player at lvl 1 and removing contracts), so there's no reason without the airship first, or suffer through 2 extra leagues which will take hours. It was a 6 hour grind if I recall correctly and you can't actually even progress your team so it becomes a slog.
>>744575296Hey this is a no bully zone, leave the little ronsolet alone
Has the PAL version beeen fixed? When I played the game in 2005 it felt like running underwater.
>>744575035Khimari certainly isn't the best but I think people don't give him enough credit just because they didn't use him enough to keep him leveled (and because blue magic sucked so much dick). Since all the characters are so laser focused on dealing with certain types of enemies I found that I could end a lot of fights faster by having the 2nd best counter to that enemy coming in to pinch hit. Easy access to backup heals and buffs was also nice.
>>744575459Hornless!
>>744574767Story works a lot better if they start it during the flashback, rather than trying to be fancy and doing in media res.You could compress it down really easily but it needs to be there otherwise we don't have a single reason to fucking care about anything at the outset.Starting at Bodhum lets you>establish the characters>introduce the setting, making it clear that lightning is essentially a national guardsmen whose job is jrpg monster killing>make it so the pivot from idyllic beach town to concentration camp is actually in the forefront rather than the background which helps set the tone
>>744575029Ah yes, the third wheel formation.
>>744564717>>744569315>>744572628>Just look up a guideCmon anons
>>744560309Not really, she has enough personality of her own>Does NOT try to steal from you>Blonde>Funky eyes>Tinkerer>A bit of a scaredy catJust because Japan loves their "genki" personality with a similar flair doesn't mean every character with that personality trait is the same or a copy of one another
>>744575904Ok, waste hours and write down all combinations and results yourself
>>744575916Her contrast with Lulu helps establish both of them.
>>744575916It feels like they missed an opportunity not letting her pilot machina with a mechanic like how Yuna can summon Aeons. Mixing is powerful, but anyone could have it as their signature overdrive.
>>744569807>I heard U leik the gigapajeet meme?
>as a kid>LULU'S TIDDIES LEMME AT 'EM *motorboats the air*>AS AN ADULT>Rikku...is moe...
>>744569414FUKKIN LAWLZORS
>>744576397No I loved Rikku since X-2 came put and blew my pants off
>>744560891damn she's got an ass
My entire party got wiped by some insta death attack in the the third phase of the Yunalesca fight. Fucking CUNT.
>>744577189Should have picked up some anti-zombie meds idiot
>>744570779He reminds me of a twisted fucked up version of myself if I stopped mentally developing when I was 10.
>>744569414erm... they poke not slash...
>>744577261No. Being in zombie effect protects against Megadeth. You need to have some in zombie and some not in zombie
>Rikku>15 years old
>>744560309One is my waifu, the other is my mistress. Can you figure out which is which?
>>744560309with a fourth rate deck?
>>744575035The Sphere Grid is neat, but it doesn't really open up until late in the game.
>Having an Al Bh*d in the partyNot for me, brudda.
Why do Tonberry tend to hang out in the wilderness/rarer areas? I mean most people probably don't kill very much at all. Those niggers could hang out in the starting village just fine.
>>744560072Kek. This reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eUOhUJN0GFw
>>744560309i knew i would get to use this picture one day
>>744569825dammit someone beat me to it
Hear me out guysSex with Yuna
>>744575035FF is the odd design choices series and always has been
>>744575381Rikku is one of the most asian looking charas in any of the games
>>744575381Except they made her look clearly Japanese in all her cgi appearances
>>744567108We need more women like Rikku in real life. Does anyone have that video of her miming how she's going to grow bigger tits and a rounder ass when she grows up to Tidus?
>>744574151kek
>>744572874Actually useful by going Rikkus route with him and getting steal early. Most useful for stealing infinite keyspheres from his solo fight.It's actually Rikku that I bench because overdrives are too infrequent to matter outside of challenge runs or endgame.
Tidus Rikku Wakka nobody else matters in the meta I fear
Lets just say I always have Yuffie and Rikku in my parties in 7 and 10 *if you know what I mean*
>>744560434>>744561021Fuck Frogposters
>use items to deal damageno. i've never thrown a single shuriken, weapon, grenade or magic item. they will continue to rot in the corner of my inventories forever and never be used. never. also fuck games for wasting my time when i explore to find cool weapons and armors only to be given some shit ass battle item. fuck you
>>744593228You like stealing?
>>744587752Kek wakka is such a dumb
>>744575904What they meant to say was experiment with mixing and ask other kids on the playground what they discovered as well as the kid with the primo strategy guide.
>>744587752>>744598746Those petrify shatter animations always shocked me as a childLike damn, how do you revive them after combat?I get that it's only visual flair but I was autistic enough to overthink how they'd "piece them back together" or if the new revived character is even the same "body" anymoreKinda fucked up to think you can not only be frozen in time as a literal stone statue, but also shattered to a thousand pieces and somehow come back from it. Even the thought of being turned in to a living statue is horrifying on it's own, as FFIX made it look ten times more horrifying by making it a whole ass ultra-long quest to save a partymember who got turned in to stone at the very start of your journey
>>744560072If only she were able to walk away.
>>744574767lack of characters in general, I've never seen a more bland cast in any form of media.>>744574675>game finally opening.One of the biggest lies in vidya.
>>744560072>stoic>overdrive->AP>triple AP>triple overdrivelmao thanks for the AP dumbass
I like how FFX is touted as a huge budget masterpiece and then the chocobo racing game feels and looks like it was made by an intern who was paid a pack of Lucky Strike and Cup Noodles
>>744574767no, giving players no reason to care about the game world and the constant padding in battles are a million times worse than the cast.
>>744603387yeah everytime i heard the phrase "protect cocoon" i wanted to kill myself and cocoon
>>744598746why did he do it wakabros?
>>744574767XIII had characters there was Sazh and... the others you just kind-of wandered around aimlessly without a goal until like the last 30 minutes of the game. I'd say Lightning was almost a character but she gives up actually doing something like 2 chapters into the game
>>744598746>
>>744607014I find it funny that Jim Sterling outlived this nigga
>>744608565hey no deadnaming
I wish I were Tidus
Just letting you faggots know that Tonberrys were called Dingleberrys in my favorite FF.
>>744571208Even though FFX is an all time favorite, neither have I. I still have "fond" memories of trying to go back to the cloister of trials in the end game only to be cockblocked by the dark aeons. Anything sort of getting lucky with Zanmato I couldn't be bothered with.
>>744575239This. I need him to sit on my face.
>>744560072Someone help me figure this out. A big theme running throughout X is letting go of the past/traditions/dogmas. Tidus it's letting go of the hate he has for his old man, Yuna with the burden of being a walking sacrifice, Kimahri is the broken horn bullying, Lulu is Chappu's death, Wakka is Chappu's death plus finding out your religion is a scam, Auron is a literal spirit of the past, even the villains with Seymour with mommy issues and Jecht with having been a shitty father. But how does Rikku play into this theme? I really struggle to pinpoint how her story enhances this running theme. Letting go of Home, I guess? But even that only happens later on.
>>744610887letting go of her virginity (with me)
>>744610887what you're asking about is the character's growth. Rikku's growth in ffx is mostly not being a scaredy pants and learning you can't control people. It's more subdued than everyone else's. Auron straight up doesn't undergo any changes though. He is exactly the same person from the intro to the credits.
>want to get into FF>everyone say 10 is a great starting point>get the remaster>realize you need a bunch of patches and shit to make it playable>reviews mention game still runs like shit (problems with cutscenes adn crashing etc)>refund it after an hour>look into 13>also appears to run like shit and needs a bunch of patches to be some what playableI can see why everyone loves these games so much lmao
>>744611435Emulation is just plug and play bro
>>744610887Her optimistic attitude and justification for refusing to enter the farplane seem to me to make her a postivie example of how to act and be in contrast to everyone else being a negative example
>>744611474>emulationembarrassing
>>744611557yeah for you my computer illiterate friend
>>744611294Auron doesn't necessarily have character growth in the sense that he arrives in the game having already come to terms with it but he still has a big moment when facing Yunalesca. Rikku has that whole scheme of kidnapping summoners, and some character growth here and there but nothing that quite ties back into this idea of letting go of the past. Unless you want to count generational trauma with being an filthy al-bhed but she's pretty happy about it.>>744611547That's kind of Tidus' job though. He's the one that essentially forces everyone to face their past when otherwise the pilgrimage would've been uneventful. They accompany Yuna, she dies, Sin fucks off for a bit and it all starts over again.Forgot to mention Lulu also has some trauma with having been a guardian for a another summoner who died in the pilgrimage so add that to the pile.
>>744611435FFX HD doesn't need a bunch of patches to be playable. It's a straight up downgrade compared to the original and the QoL stuff is very easy to turn into permanent god mode but not unplayable. Emulation is the way to go.
>>744611967I'll just not play it desu. Emulation is cringe, and the game looks like shit anyway. I'll just play 15, 16 or the 7 remake.
>>744560072>got a boner from her death animationit's over for me
>>744560072Why did he do it?
>>744611748>but nothing that quite ties back into this idea of letting go of the pastthat is a theme you made up yourself. The game is not obligated to tie into your headcanon anon. Rikkus character growth is learning that she can't control yuna but still being ride or die for her nigga. and to stop being a pants pisser.
>>744612170>that is a theme you made up yourselfTrue but it feels very purposeful when so much of the game feels very focused on this idea. Rikku just stands out as being an outlier in this. She's just kind of there, from a story perspective.
>>744593308Frog site, faggot
>>744564558I never bothered using rikku for anything other than her speed. She's fast as fuck even without haste so she's a great item healer or emergency user of whatever skill or spell you need if you get her the sphere for it. I ended up benching Yuna since rikku was always fast enough to get 2 good turns when healing with items, maybe 3 if she's hasted. After her own tree, you can take her along anyone else's skill tree to make her a faster version of anyone else. I'd usually take her along auron's tree and she'd shit out big debuffs or damage at high speed. Rarely ever used her mixes.
I benched wakka, didnt know he was OP. Ended up just giving yuna dark magic and destroying everything with her
>>744612994Everyone is OP. the game is trivially easy. the two objectively correct ways to play areto switch people out as necessary to hit weaknessesorto play using only the 3 niggas you want to see.
>>744612467It's a pretty generic theme you 'identified' which is really just 'getting over something'At that point, you can say Rikku got over her fear of lightning or the farplane.
>>744613341It's easy to downplay any story as though they've always existed. Moby Dick is just a story about obsession, yawn who hasn't heard that before.It's just a minor nitpick that I think Rikku could've gotten something that better connects to this theme when everything else about the game seems to focus so heavily on it. This isn't even a death of the author situation, this feels more like I'm actually getting what the author was going for.
>>744614118Youre genuinely retarded.
>>74461143513 actually ran perfect for me
>>744614792I'm still talking to you so I must be bam dum tsh
>>744615381>still
>>744615560I'm a busy man, anon. All these threads won't get my insight on their own.Seriously though, what was your issue with what I said? This is just a thought I've had where the whole party seems to have this connecting thread while Rikku doesn't quite have that. Otherwise they're just a bunch of video game RPG classes who are only there because they're video game RPG classes.
>>744560072Hey look at this.
>>744615853>all the characters are connected by having "growth"So exactly like FF7 where Vincent (Auron) and Yuffie (Rikku) all have a more personal hangup they have to come to terms with? (With Vincent (Auron) having a personal connection with the story (Jecht/Hojo) that is very relevant to their participation but not as directly addressed or resolved in the way the other characters have to address their issues?It's really not anything remarkable Anon. Most video game companions have personal quests or moments of growth. Trying to link them all up as letting go of the past doesn't change that.
