Just an FYI for anyone that’s a fan of physical SE games on Xbox.

They haven’t allowed any SE games to allow the disc to digital program which I’m hoping is an oversight as it’s a really great service for the consumer and allows people with physical games to get the digital license so in the future when blu ray drives are gone you can still play your games without rebuying them digitally.

It’s anti consumer and I really hope they reconsider allowing physical games to be allowed to have the digital license on Xbox.

Final Fantasy VII JENOVA Birth é uma das formas de Jenova enfrentadas em Final Fantasy VII.

Descrição breve:

JENOVA-BIRTH é uma manifestação monstruosa de Jenova, criada a partir de seus restos e poderes. Ela possui aparência humanoide e utiliza ataques físicos e mágicos, funcionando como uma das primeiras grandes batalhas contra Jenova na história. É enfrentada pelo grupo durante a fuga de Midgar, após a perseguição de Sephiroth.

No FFVII original, ela é o primeiro chefe da série de batalhas contra as formas de Jenova

’ve always been very interested in Final Fantasy. Years ago, I played *Final Fantasy VII Remake* and absolutely fell in love with it. After that experience, I tried playing *Final Fantasy X*, but unfortunately, it didn't click for me—I didn't like the turn-based system. So, I stopped playing the series for a while. Before I quit, I had wanted to try the original *FFVII*, but the fact that it wasn't available in Italian put me off completely. This year, I bought a pretty good laptop because I was heading to Japan for a year abroad. Once I arrived, I discovered that my host sister is obsessed with Final Fantasy (she actually owns a few of the games), which reminded me of my great experience with *FFVII Remake*. I asked her for a recommendation, and she suggested the original *FFVII*, explaining that I could download an Italian patch for it. I decided to download it with the patch and have fallen in love with the game; I’ve even installed high-resolution graphics mods, which makes the experience even better. My plan now is to play the original *FFVII*, *FFVII Remake Intergrade*, and *FFVII Rebirth* (I’ve decided to replay *Remake* because I don't remember much of the plot). In the meantime, my host sister and I bought *FFXV* together and are playing it as a team (we’re having a lot of fun with it). However, beyond *VII* and *XV*, I’d like to try other games in the series—specifically a turn-based one, since I’m enjoying the original *FFVII* so much. Could you recommend a *Final Fantasy* game that isn't too overwhelming for a newcomer to the turn-based genre? Also, would you suggest playing it on PC or PS5?

Thanks a lot!

Enjoy!

This are my favorite square enix games so I decided to also collect this books

Just a quick recap of some figures that have been announced. The FF figures are available on AmiAmi already!

Which is kinda odd for a couple of reasons:

Is it the first video game I’ve ever played? No.

Is it the first JRPG I’ve ever played? No.

Is it the first Square game I’ve ever played? No.

And yet it just hits all the right spots. The music is what does it I think. It reminds me of an anime that you used to watch as a kid every day after school. I find this time kinda overused nowadays but the game also feels cozy. You get to know all of the areas of the game very well, the Fusion system makes it so the enemies are able to stand out in your mind as well. There’s only one real village but this game definitely maximized every single area of it.

It sucks that we don’t get games like this anymore. Just a fun little JRPG that overachieves by not going outside of itself and doing everything it does do at least good. Also Ocarina of Time killer Shot

Hello everyone,

I co-host a gaming book-club podcast called State of the Save. This is Part 4 of our 5 Part game-club on Final Fantasy VII Remake, covering from the fight at the pillar in Sector 7 to the beginning scene of Chapter 14 in the garden.

My co-host has never played the Original FFVII, so him piecing together the "ghosts" and what they mean has been really fun. Because of that, there's some end-of-disc-1 spoilers for the original game.

Originally, almost no one joined Square because they specifically wanted to make video games. Most people were there because they tried pursuing something else they loved, failed at it, and ended up at Square out of necessity. In that sense, there weren't any "first-rate" professionals. Everyone was second-rate and had experienced failure, but everyone loved interesting things. There was a lot of pent-up energy, which looped around and transformed into a passion for creation. People didn't always know exactly what they were doing, but they created nonetheless. "I made something! How's this?" They'd play around with the dev equipment and end up with a finished product. There was so much individual talent at Square, yet somehow it all came together. That's just what the development environment was like back then.

True serendipity, that company

It doesn't have to be bad. It could be off-putting, unappealing, predictable, forced, or makes the plot less engaging. Or a combination of any of those.

For those of you asking, I picked this one from Bravely Second. Mainly because of how cliche & foreseeable it was. It really leaned into the tired "Long lost sibling" angle. Plus, it makes the protagonist seem less sharp.

Anyway, what was the lamest plot twist you've seen from a Square Enix game. As I mentioned, it doesn't need to be bad. I can even be from a game you like quite a lot. Just be honest.
