I love those narrative videos that retell a story and things finally starts making sense.

But feel kinda annoyed how much of plot i lose/foget because either i was too young at that tim to notice details or because im simply too thick to follow stories.

Yeah, i feel like a lot thicker than i think im. Thus why i enjoy all those ecap and explained videos

Biggest proof of this is… did Cloud hav sex with Tifa before the final battle?

I never got this nuance. I just thought that Tife slept on his shoulder in a very friendzone—like interaction

Eh, I used to feel like this, but then I realized that's not necessarily my fault (obviously that goes without saying for being younger or lacking life+storytelling experiences to pay attention to what the author is trying to convey).

First off, there's the language barrier (and I presume the same goes for you). More importantly, too many JRPGs storeytelling in general (and Nojima's in many cases) leads to this (they drip-feed story elements to you over a long period of time, then behold: exposition dump).
If you're a slow player like myself (used to take a couple of months to finish a JRPG), you don't replay the game, or try to discuss it with others, you should expect to miss out on connecting some dots.

I'm glad Vyre asked, because I've been wondering for a long time how we're meant to read Josiah's name.

The only question that remains is:

Is his Flaming name pronounced like...

A flaming blaze?

Or Flamingo?

I wish you all good health and more free time, that you can spend on whatever you enjoy. I also wish you and myself, that FFXI will get some good content (fixed vanabout for a start). Not big, but at least good. Merry Christmas everyone.

Ah, great

Here Im at 10h playtime in Terranigma, only to find this could be actually the 3th installment of the series.

Now, gonna need to stop and return back to catch up before too much potential spoilers come.

Or just keep going, as it seems its not official trilogy but "spiritual successor".

Those old games mechanics are really bothersome at some point.

I went from a small dungeons with less than a dozen different rooms to basically a mess of dungeons and annoying talking sequence.

And those talking sequence sometimes are so obscure that makes me think Terranigma is not an easy game. Not in terms of battle, thats pretty easy so far, but meeting some requirements to unblock story sometimes forces you to either check online the correct sequence or simple spend hours talking and retalking NPC till you eventually trigger the right dialog.

For example, at some point, you need to cure the princess illness. And what youre expected to do? Well... why not putting the entire castle to sleep? How didnt I notice that earlier, it was so obvious what to do!

While im pretty sick of hearing Jeuno theme though.

Kazham's jungles (Yuhtunga and Yhoator) were common leveling zones for level 25-30 parties back in the day, so Kazham was a common stop.

Ahh, I *** loved Kazham and the Jungle EXP from 25 to 33.

Like it felt really rewarding and exotic.

Cause you know, the first two leveling areas?

Sandy beach that felt more like a desert full of hellish flies and goblins.

Then a snowy island with monstrous gigas, deadly ghosts, and a very long run from town.

But after those, you know. Your friends saddled up with you, and you went to the Beastmen strongholds, and you farmed for those 3 keys for hours, because it'd be more efficient to get the keys than to pay the gil cost for the Kazham Airship pass.

You fly your first time on a airship to a jungle village full of Mithras with its own Auction House. Lush green jungle outside. Almost made me forget the hordes of Goblin Smithies ready to tear me a new ***. But I mean, at that point, goblins felt a little less threatening.
