I wouldn't be against trying another one if a fan told me that 14 was easily the worst of the worst for that franchise, but the people playing that game said otherwise so...


I reckon that, for any given Final Fantasy game, there are going to be people telling you that it's the Best Final Fantasy Ever and an equally large group of people telling you that it's the Worst Final Fantasy Yet.

I am going to be rather slow today on posts. Had a bit of a sponge cake calamity this morning. Note to self: insert fictional hyper-kinetic cartoon into the game, call it Morning Bakery: Sponge Cake Calamity!.

I've got nothing to really post since Vanessa is sleeping. Unless something comes up that would wake Vanessa, mark me as "Ready to move on."

As weekends are usually fairly busy for me (I've got a friend visiting, and I will no doubt spend most of that weekend going "let's play Crusader Kings 2 together!", he will spend that time waving his arms around about some cosplay or other, and then we'll eat cake), I shall put on my GM Hat now and say:

I will be posting on Monday about arriving in Ofromia.

So you've got a couple of days to tidy things up, make any last minute plans and panic about stuff. I'll probably be poking my head in to the site occasionally throughout the weekend, but if I don't see you folks before then, have a good weekend!

A question about faster-than-light travel in this game @Hylozoist. How do the crew members themselves experience it exactly on board the quest for flavour? Do we strap ourselves in or do we just go around doing whatever? Not even noticing that it's happening really.

Yeah I wasn't too sure on that either. I was thinking Toony would have issues with it since shes kinda some weird liquid metal robot more or less xD.

Writing a reply in bed, on a tablet whatchamacallit, so apologies for typos and the like in advance. And, also, I probably should have been clearer about the effects (or lack thereof) on the ship itself!

So this is how I see it; there'd be a momentary sensation of "dropping" as the ship dives into the Unreal. If you've ever been on a rollercoaster that suddenly drops, and how your organs and other icky interior bits are briefly not falling at quite the same moment that you are... it'd feel like that. I think that it's something to do with how your organs are suspended inside you, or something like that. It probably effects Toony more, on account of being all liquid-y, and that would explain her reaction to it.

During the travel period, if all goes well, those inside the bubble created by the engine shouldn't feel too much in the way of acceleration. I have many exciting ideas for what might happen when all does not go well.

@Hylozoist Alrighty, makes sense to me.

So anyone ever heard of the game I wanna be the Guy or I wanna be the Boshi? Also how is everyone's day?

Those are two sadistically hard platforms, I have played the first level of Boshy and I think at some point I may have binge watched a lets play of it as well. Mainly I remember it for the cool end song. Obviously I never got there, or anywhere close, but it is neat to listen to.

I haven't played it @Archmage MC (I can barely hadle Super Meat Boy, which should give you some indication of my platforming prowess), but I've marvelled at other people breezing their way through it. There's something appealing about video games that are designed to be so difficult to play, like, it plays with my understanding of what a game is - a game exists to be played, and this game (and genre) makes you want to break your controller in two, it's so player-unfriendly.

As for how my day is going, I have just about woken up, and have about an hour to spare before people start arriving, and then I've got a whole day to look forward to of nice, slow computer games and some baking and sewing.

That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. I will have a post up in several hours. I have a lot to do right now. Boooo I know.

"I have a lot to do right now" is what I usually say right before I spend a lot of time not doing a lot of the things that need to be done right now. So go forth, do the things that need to be done! I've got a lot to do right now, and I'm still wrapped up in bed, checking subscriptions here and getting sucked into Wikipedia and the like!

I'm usually considered weird when I admit to playing this on a regular basis.

@Valor I'd play Dwarf Fortress if it had a decent GUI. I'm not a huge fan of super complex command line games like that.

I use this myself.

You used to be able to set up a full 3D visualizer and control it with the mouse. I don't know if it still works or not. Dwarf Therapist makes assigning jobs easier, Soundsense gives you audio cues as to what's going on, and the Lazy Newb Pack also comes with several graphical tilesets to make everything more visually palatable to the modern eye.

Ordinarily you'd be right but not this time, sorry. If you want to move the story along right now then that's fine. I can go over what happened on the ship in some flash back type sequences in later posts. I know you're real excited to move things along! I have to sleep though. :(

Maybe I just need better timing. There are times when I'm buzzing around this forum without a post in like a day or so, but when everything's going down I just have to have stuff to do.
