Hey, how's it going? I'm Johnny. Pretty laid back individual who enjoys a good cup of coffee, long walks on the beach--oh and review games old and new. That last one is what I'm really here for, but sometimes I also like to dabble in livestreams, podcasts and cartoons if I have the time for it. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the show.
Coming back to these reviews 14 years later and you realize just how short these old reviews were. Granted, it was most likely due to RU-vid's 10 minute time limit on videos, but still.
after sitting with it for a few weeks i think this episode is gonna be looked back on as an absolute classic. like avgn plays superman 64 level of classic. the bit here was just that good. might be your best video lol
The series is still going through a drought 5 years later. Since 2010 there's only been 1 new Mega Man game in a span of 14 years which was Mega Man 11 which doesn't include the mobile titles and collections. Mega Man is back to being on the sidelines and at this point who knows when this franchise will comeback.
i noticed that johnny didn’t really mention the new game plus that’s also in the game after the update waves …i still don’t know what it really adds i was kinda planning on seeing if i could combine new game plus and the extreme difficulty to see if it would actually work but genuinely, what does new game plus do specifically in frontiers?
Jonny feeling guilty at calling Quistis "hot teacher" ....and heres me living in Britain where she is legal ...so the only thing i get to feel wierd about is im saying that about a fictional character 😂
We got this game for PS1 when my brother borrowed it from a friend of his, who borrowed one from us. But then our game got "Lost" so we got to keep Brave Fencer Musashi. And it's this game where I picked part of my user name from.
Your video's title is misleading. You should put Final Fantasy VIII Remaster instead of Final Fantasy VIII. A lot of your complaints only apply to the remster and not the original PS1 version. The remaster backgrounds are blurry, but the ps1 version's backgrounds weren't blurry at all if you play on a CRTV (the type of TV that was around when ps1 was around). The backgrounds are gorgeous on the PS1 version, plus the character models art style were less anime on the PS1 version and looked better because of it. They look dead-eyed like dolls in the remaster. Also analog controls did actually work on the PS1 version, not that 8 point crap of the remaster.
honestly I don't care what he did in the Japanese version and that he didn't threaten him all I care that he did in the version that I'm playing it's like me not caring that his name in Japan is rockman and that I will always call him Mega Man
You dont have to grind battles or play any triple triad to get through the game. Just play it like a normal final fantasy. Don't worry about having 100 charges of each spell. The game is really fun this way and it feels natural. Also, it's fun to not feel precious about conserving magic to a point where you don't cast it in battle. So what if it causes your stat to go down if u just use a couple units of a magic? It'll only make the game more interesting. 30 to 80 or so units of each spell is usually plenty depending on which spell, but 100 units is so unnecessary. So drawing is something you should only occasionally do. Plus, this strategy keeps the battles more interesting and fun, and makes regular boss battles often intense
To me the stupidest argument for draw being a grindest is that jrgps are notorious for mind numbingly tons of battles. It's the reason why I got pissed with ff9 after playing ff8, because the random encounters pissed me off. FF8 even without enc none had the least amount of random encounter rate precisely because magic drawing was mostly a one and done process. You get the 100s of the spells you junction and for those you cast like double or shell you just draw as you need. The enemies also drop items that can be refined so you can just fight a few for drops and be done that way. If there is truly a game breaking element to ff8 system, it's not cards, but rather item refinement system.
