Carighan, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

No of course not. Plus XI nowadays is a bit tricky to play anyways, and with XIV, there’s also no reason to for the average player.

@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I do not include XI or XIV. Also, I still haven’t beaten II, IV, or VI. But I’ve beaten the rest and some of the spin-offs.

I think II is really cool! I recommend the GBA version though.

I already bought the Pixel Remaster version. Maybe I’ll start it after next month’s FFV Four Job Fiesta challenge.

Oh thats fine! Just not the NES version. I love 8bit stuff but it can be a lot harder to get into.

I haven’t checked it out yet, but I saw someone had made a Lumines demake for the gba. Usually I end up finding out about them through forums and youtube

echodot, (edited ) do games w UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government

Honestly it’s cute that you think that the British government give a damn what you think. They are incompetent and corrupt, why would you possibly think that they would have the mental capacity to effectively respond to this petition?

The Conservatives only care about profit, what you’re asking them to do is legislate against businesses. They do not do that. They are not going to implement any pro-consumer laws because that just gets in the way of making large sums of money at the expense of everything else.

Delphia,

You’re right. Everythings fucked, why try at all lets just roll over and take it.

echodot,

Yeah because I said that didn’t I.

Jesus Christ doing pointless stuff is pointless. I’m all for action that is effective but petitions on the government website have literally never achieved anything in the entire history of the system existing.

So what would you do instead?

eluvatar,

Complain that other people aren’t doing anything, apparently

xkforce,

And your suggestion is what exactly?

rikudou,
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

Turn back time and don’t leave the union that actually does pro-consumer things?

echodot,

Realistically that is actually the only option.

Turning back time but just hoping that the EU implements something. Then we all get to benefit from the Brussels effect. There really isn’t anything that we can do.

The best we can hope for is we can vote for whoever is necessary in your constituency to get the Tories out, and hope that Labour care, but they probably won’t.

Mongostein,

You’re right, but all I see is condescension and complaints with no solutions.

What have you done to improve the world lately?

echodot,

Banging your head against the wall is not a solution if banging your head against the wall has no possible hope of having an effect.

Mongostein,

So nothing but bitch. Gotcha.

echodot,

But the petition isn’t going to work so you’ve also done nothing.

Mongostein,

Well, I don’t live in the UK, so it’s not for me to sign, and I wasn’t talking about this specific thing.

Have you helped anyone lately? Try it. It feels better than bitching endlessly online.

echodot,

No I am talking about this specific thing. My point is that people sign the petition and then get all smug and feel like they’ve done something, the government doesn’t care about it, as is evidenced by their response.

If you want to do something go and publicly protest it’s the only thing that gets their attention. Things might be different in whatever country you’re from but in the UK petitions are not worth the paper they’re not written on. Also this petition was stupid anyway because it’s too focused on video games, (as opposed to software in general, operating systems, critical business applications, and device drivers) which basically guaranteed the government were going to ignore it from the outset.

This petition could have been much more broad and it would have had much more marketable appeal. All I’m doing is pointing that out, and I’m getting hate from all sides from people who seem to think that the government should somehow care about video games as much as they do. Now, if somebody came up with an actual campaign that had any chance of victory I’d be all on it. The trouble is no one ever does. They just create petitions ad infinitum.

Rentlar,

It already has done much more than you give credit for. People are talking about it. More importantly, legislators are talking about it, which is the first step for things for laws to change/clarify what it means to own a digital product in the UK.

Zekas,

Your body is an engine that turns useful words into grating screeches.

echodot,

Yeah whereas you’re doing loads

The facial animation in Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is still the best I’ve ever seen, and that game came out in 2017.

Incredible looking game. I hope the sequel lives up to the original.

Summzashi,

It was barely a game though.

Video?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

The one from Accursed Farms that set off this entire campaign. It’s not about supporting a game forever. It’s about not killing them intentionally when support ends.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I dont see any mention of them or video here, theres a petition with text here that definitely reads as supporting games indefinitely, even criticizing servers shutting down.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

What part of that petition says that it’s to support games indefinitely? It explicitly requests action to protect customers after support ends. That inherently means it won’t be supported indefinitely.

I’m not on linux, but I heard star citizen works and it’s running a free to play event right now until the 26th of May.

If you don’t like Easy Anti Cheat I would avoid it.

I don’t have a problem with anti cheats. I just hate the ones blocking Linux on purpose.

I hope everyone keeps putting some pressure on legislators about such things.

We have to remind companies that buying is buying.

I wish there was a petition for my country.

Baggie,

There might still be something you can do, go to www.stopkillinggames.com and you can see what you can do based on your country.

Dariusmiles2123,

Thanks for the info.

I had already looked at it and nothing applies to my country, especially because I don’t own « the Crew ».

But I just watched this video and it’s revolting : youtu.be/QZYy9KzFT2w?si=znDa-mFop0AQvSu9

catalyst, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?
@catalyst@lemmy.world avatar

Oh hi! I played XI from release until recently (with some breaks). IMHO the original story (basically up to Rank 6 where you defeat the Shadow Lord) is fine, but it’s really more of a prelude and setting up the stakes. If you stop there it’s not really worth your time.

Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia (+ optionally Apocalypse Nigh) are pretty good from a story perspective. These can be completed solo. This is what I’d recommend playing through to anyone interested in the real story.

From there it’s somewhat diminishing returns. Treasures and Wings add some interesting bits to the lore. Rhapsody is actually great but will take a lot of time and effort and is probably only worth it to a die hard fan.

MacedWindow,
@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks for the details! I might try to beat the Shadow Lord and then see how I feel about continuing.

Evotech,

You must be clinically insane to start XI in today’s time

Just watch a couple of cinematics

MacedWindow,
@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

It still has a decent population and it is a numbered Final Fantasy game, I don’t think it’s too crazy to consider (I will probably skip it though)

Evotech,

It has a die hard fanbase indeed. And has gone through a few facelifts to make it soloable.

But as someone who played xi back in the Day, it has not aged well. Neither the graphics or the game systems.

Ashtear, do games w If you've done the Final Fantasy marathon did you include FF XI? Was it worth it?

I’ve played all of the mainline games over the years, but my only experience with FFXI was a couple of hours of the beta. Tried the marathon as a set of replays several years back and only made it to the start of IX. The load times and the glacial pace of the battles was too much by that point. I think I was planning on skipping XI.

You could also try asking in !finalfantasy and !jrpg.
