I already have the PS4 version, remember when stuff like this was a free update?


Oh I played this on Switch. Up until I got to that stupid squid boss. Made the game unplayable for me, that takes too much grinding I'm not willing to do.

yknow what helps me when I'm stuck on a JRPG boss? look up the boss HP, have a calculator next to you and subtract all the damage you make. A lot of the tension comes from not knowing.

The only change I need from this game before I play it is to let me to change the annoying girl haircut to a boy haircut.

I don't want to see that girl haircut anywhere in the game. Not on cutscenes, hud, menus.. nowhere.

No. I remember when stuff like this was charged full price for.

As far back as the Street Fighter II games on Genesis and SNES.

It could just be a question of tactics. I've watched low level vids where they just have one character spam multi-thrust with a spear, and the other three are either buffing the strength of the multi-thruster, debuffing the defense of the squid, or healing.

Looking at Square track record, probably not. PS Vita / PS3 / PS4 simultaneous release are not cross-sold, FFVIII (8) Remastered is a separate purchase than FFVIII although its the same game fixed and FFVII Remake is actually a part 1/3 instead of a full remake.
Well if they milk this game into a separate title I'm going to have grab my crew and set sail among the Blackpearl. B/c I'm not buying the same game twice just for audio content... not to mention we had someone make the music mod way before the Definitive version was announced for the Switch

If they were fair, they can sell the aditial content also as dlc instead of selling a new full price game.

Yeah. What were you expecting? The Switch version was already the Definitive Edition. What were they going to do? Create a Definitve-er Edition and leave the Switch out of the loop? This way, PC and the PS4 and Switch are all in the same place.

Of course you will be expecting an update utilizing the ps4/pc power and not a same downgraded port of the switch.

I wonder if there will be an upgrade path for those of us who already own the original version on Steam.

Other then that this is good news.


Same, hoping this is offered as an upgrade. Although I don't entirely see OG saves being compatible.

EDIT: Just saw that this is going to be a direct PORT of the Switch version. Well, shit. Not surprised, tbh.

I suppose I can see that being an issue if that sort of thing is important to you. It personally doesn't mean much to me, but I respect that that matters you.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
