You may need the speed cheat enabled though because some of the lag on battles is horrible.
I played through it recently enough (on PC) and didnt notice any lag
And the reason that i said VII and not IX was in the interest of him playing VII, then VIII, then IX and then X (not X-2), anything after is well below par as far as im concerned
Oh and if Retro ever comments on VII, just know its a trick and he means the total opposite.

I have never enjoyed a FF game, not one of them.
Just can't get into them at all.
But that's probably true of most RPGs, certainly those with turn based or overly ornate combat systems.
Xenoblade Chronicles and it's sequels and spin-offs, I have most of them and got browned off during the opening missions.
"Stick with it" they say, "The first 30 hours are just the tutorials"... bugger that!
Yeah when i first started with FF7 long ago, i recall not being particularly happy with the combat system, however the more familiar I got with the system the more enjoyable it became, and then you're pretty set for all similar systems from that point on, they just evolve a little but you would be much quicker on the uptake.
So you wouldnt need to put in that much time for all games of that type, and 30hrs seems like a major over exaggeration, for any game, you might still learn new tricks and such, but you will have the majority covered in the first few hours, its not like you will be scratching your head for 30 hours 0 -

Well, if it isn't actually 30 hours it sure as hell feels like it!
I think there is enough variety and number of games both on the way and in my collection to mean I will never find myself reduced to playing a Final Fantasy game ever!
Dragon Quest on the otherhand, I would love to get the hang of those, DQVIII in particular, which I have on PS2 and 3DS... and got no where in

I was 78 hours into Xenoblade Chronicles 2 when I got my last tutorial pop-up
In fairness, it was something related only to a mechanic that's introduced late on for story purposes. Fantastic game though. Combat system is daunting at first but its probably the best action JRPG combat system I've played. When it clicks its just pure awesomeness. Playing Torna at the moment and they've tweaked the system nicely which freshens it up after playing through the main game.0 -

If you can play Dragon quest games you can play final fantasy I-X games, their systems are pretty much identical, from what ive played of DQXI anyway. Just how you equip/learn/obtain spells/abilities is what may differ.
But yeah if you have your plate full of other games you enjoy more off the bat, then have at it
I agree learning how a lot of games work can be a pain in the ass, but some of them can be a fun experience, once you get over certain hurdles.
I just bought my first Disgaea game (disgaea 5) and ive never played a game like it, so i know its gonna be a lot of work, just hope its more fluid and fun and less googling how to play it 0 -

Picked up D5 a while ago myself, its very good. Haven't played it in a while, must get back to it. Was my first experience of a game like that too. Its great craic flinging towers of team mates around the map. Doesn't take itself too seriously but there's loads of depth to it and it can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it from what I've seen. Tutorials are pretty good too so you should find your feet quick enough. Great little game for handheld play too.0 -

It's not lag but the battles run at 15 fps and no way to speed it up as it's hard coded into the game code (although there's PC mods to overcome it)
Also the battles take forever to start, a hangover from the PS1 version where the camera panned around for a good 30 seconds before character and enemy models loaded in. It speeds up the game to skip that.Oh and if Retro ever comments on VII, just know its a trick and he means the total opposite.
Eh, I think it's a great game and quite unique. Well worth playing but grossly over rated by people saying it's the best game of all time.
Everyone knows the secret best Final Fantasy is FF Tactics.

This is a big problem on the switch, FF7 it wasn't as noticeable but FF9 its really bad.
I actually turned on the speed cheat when i knew there wasn't a plot point/story section otherwise it would have been torture to get through. At one stage i just turned off random battles to avoid it.
For the price point they are coming in at on the switch you think they would at least try and sort it out.
It's nothing to do with the Switch version. It's in all versions of the game and is hard coded into the source of the game. It gave the original playstation enough time to load in all the assets as there was a bigger strain on loading with the increased number of player and enemies characters in FF9 compared to FF7 and 8. The speed cheat is in there to try and alleviate this.

Finished Bayonetta last night on the switch, done it on easy as i had got up until pretty much the end on normal when playing on the WiiU. But i just wanted to get through it and actually get to play bayonetta 2
But eh yeah, such a quality game, so much game play variation, which i was not expecting and they really went above and beyond to keep the game fun and engaging throughout..
Makes me excited to jump into Bayonetta 2 to see what they've done with that
Although i may start Disgaea 5 first :P0 -
