Disappointingly lazy port. Even worse is the lack of screen auto rotate... Clearly the developers didn't care too much about doing this right. Eyes on the prize but very little pride.
So, I've never finished this game on the PSX, but I plan on finishing it on iOS. I have one thing that always bugged me. ATB settings. I've read the explanation, and understand that newcomers are recommended to use Wait. But Wait doesn't stop time for the enemy just the time meter for your team, right?! So, isn't it actually hindering your team to allow the enemy to attack more while waiting for your time gauge to fill up? It never made sense to me. There should just be ATB setting and turn-based setting for beginners and those of us who like to be more casual in battles. Because Recommended and Wait just seem to make it take longer between your attacks while the enemy attacks at the same rate, right? EDIT: And I just watched during my last battle on Wait, and my time gauges actually did still fill up during menu selection and a little at the end of cutscenes. Just doesn't seem like much difference between the three settings.
Wait stops the atb bars when you are making choices. For example, tapping A on attack will make you choose a target, in which case at that point time stops. Time stops when you also are choosing a skill/spell/item to use. From what i can tell, Recommended is where atb becomes Wait during bosses.
Wow, I finally get it. I never stopped to wait after selecting my attack. I thought time was supposed to stop during the whole menu process. Thanks for making it finally make sense for me. And yet, I still think they should have just made that option actual turn-based. But I guess that's why there is still a dedicated pause button! It's been too long since I last played this gem.
After reading EP's message and trying a battle, I now see that Wait only stops the enemy's time AFTER you've selected either Attack, Magic, or Item. I always thought as soon as the menu came up it was supposed to wait but that never worked. I guess that would have made it really turn-based instead if ATB.
God dam i love this game ! nostalgia ! the only thing of this port which i think is kinda LOL is ingamecheats ...
We cant see them, but if the enemy already had a full bar, their action will push through. Wait mode basically stops their invisible bar from filling, not stopping attacks that are coming from their invisible full bar.
So anybody know whats triggering the Turbo speed ? Most of the time the game play on normal speed but on some times it play like Turbo speed So whats the deal? Because i have to close the app and open it again to make it run in normal speed 5 hours in Im still in Shinra HQ #
Okay makes sense. A lot of enemies have higher haste in the beginning of the game I'm assuming since they usually act first.
U are progressing alright.. I am at 6:30 and at kalm with sephiroth. Mind u i am following the faqs very tightly.. While u are at the hq I just wondering if u manage to sneak pass the guards to level 65? I can't... And need to get rid of them 5 times to proceed
Can someone point to me where is the damn secret door?? I have been trying10 mins to her thru it!!! This is flashback kalm
I believe Sephiroth should be in the book case on the bottom right room, on the top floor. The roundish looking case. Once you walk to it, it'll open automatically.
Nope i think it's very hard to do on touch control and i can get exp for 5 fights so i chose to fight I'm 6.30 still in shinra HQ maybe too mich grinding....
