[DS] Onionknight Final Fantasy: Smugasfuck Call - You bought DLC, Kupo

How many tracks were in the original Theatrhythm? 200 doesn't sound like a huge bump if they include songs that were previously DLC. There were still some glaring omissions in the song list, and I'd be willing to rebuy for a couple new songs from each game. You Are Not Alone and the Veldt would top my list.

Ordinarily I hate when companies release the same game over again with a few additions (hello entire fighting game genre), but I still play Theatrythm often enough that I wouldn't mind buying an expanded version. If there are 60 characters now then that kind of dwarfs the 5-6 I still need to unlock in the original.

That would still be less annoying than the crystal fragment method.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ditched Event mode entirely. It wasn't in the iOS port, and like you said they would probably end up reusing a lot of scenes. I was never overly fond of it anyway. I'd be fine with just unlocking movies to watch.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Interesting that they don't list Final Fantasy XV. They should even have more than one song ready by now!

I'm oddly excited by Mystic Quest's inclusion. I remember almost nothing about it except that I really liked it as a kid, so I have no idea if there were any worthwhile music tracks. One of these days I'll replay it to see if it's as disappointing as everyone else seems to think.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Nice to hear that companies are finally ditching Digital River. I was pretty underwhelmed by the CE, so I'm thinking of just getting the download version. The original Theatrhythm still has a permanent place in my carrying case after I've played it to death, so this seems like a perfect candidate for a game to just stick on the system.

Also, so happy to see Good King Moggle Mog XII on the DLC list. Second best song in the game after the Halloween music that's drilled into my brain.

How ya doing, buddy?

What are you talking about? Not everything has to go in a folder, Skills.

DON'T PUT FRIENDSHIPS INTO FOLDERS.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Two other really nice features:
- When you play a song in Quest mode your score and crit chart are saved in the music list too. No more of that nonsense where it only counted in Challenge mode.
- Crystal shards always seem to come in groups large enough to unlock at least one person.

I played a ton of this at work tonight. I haven't seen Smugion Knight, but Celes has a pretty hilarious starry eyed expression. There are so many huge improvements, and the only issue I have is that the hold notes still feel off to me.

FELIPE NO

I just retired two people (Zidane and Benjamin) and earned the 1 billion points trophy. It's possible I've played too much. I've stuck to this exclusively since it came out.

I really like how quickly this one ramps up. Everyone gains levels crazy fast, so I don't mind swapping in new people or resetting at 99. It also likes surprises. Some bosses and chocobo sections suddenly started throwing out spinning arrows around level 70 instead of waiting until Ultimate. One of my medium quests also had a single Ultimate FMS just to throw things off.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Seriously, you knew how good this would be.

Has anyone else tried the online battles? I played two international matches last night and it ran smoothly. Seems like it's the best way to get cards you need. You get two out of the three if you win and one if you lose. It also flashes them and says if they're new, so it's not as much of a random crapshoot.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, I'm down as long as I remember. That might be a big if!

I play primarily on Expert, so I know I wouldn't do so well on Ultimate. I can do FMS on Ultimate, but especially with the EX Bursts I doubt I could even do those.

How ya doing, buddy?

So far I've maxed and reset Rydia, Celes, Benjamin, and Zidane. My current party is Locke, Edgar, Kain, and Agrias. Kain and Locke are definitely both keepers. Kain's strength gets crazy and Locke has Scare to frighten away the 2nd enemy and get to bosses faster.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ahaha, just ran into my first ragequitter. A connection error popped up the second the last note hit, which was almost funny enough to make up for him cheating me out of cards/points. Judging by his proficard he's just some asshole trying to plow through the trophies and still had the default quest map equipped after 66 hours.

I really, really like the online mode so far. It's a lot of fun beating down all of these people who insist on picking FF X-2 or Advent Children songs.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, I've gotten a couple of really good maps, but at least half the randoms I've played still had the default map. It's disappointing to keep seeing that same map over and over.

Does Ultimate seem a little easier to anyone else compared to the first game? I'm not sure if I'm just finally getting the hang of it or what, but the life bar seems like it doesn't deplete nearly as fast.

Most amazing jew boots

Oh, definitely not easy. Easier. As in I can reliably survive the songs and beat the Quest bosses. I'm nowhere close to perfect chaining on Ultimate.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's the dumbest game for rage quitting too. The loser still gets a card and it barely subtracts any points at all.

I have that same issue with processing Ultimate. I'm mostly going by color, so sudden arrows mixed in can mess me up badly.

Omagnus and I played a couple songs after Mario Kart yesterday, and everything worked great. We confirmed that it'll swap proficards again if you switch maps, so it won't be a problem passing those around. We also confirmed that Judgement can burn in hell. Even Random Speed doesn't make your score plummet as quickly.

FELIPE NO

Holy shit, what happened? I suddenly feel like I should be backing up my SD card before buying anything on the shop every time.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Terra made it into a final party slot for me after seeing how powerful Trance + Ultima is. On lower level maps it can kill the boss and every other enemy in between until the boss reappears. Those two skills use up all her CP without resetting, so a few more resets should make her an unstoppable boss killer.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So Dualcast doesn't work on Ultima? Good to know. Maybe Faith is the better choice then. Ramza just learned Ultima too, so I did notice the boost from his adding to the damage.

Do you know if levels of Berserk chain together? It's really unclear how it works since Berserk cancels all of the user's abilities after it activates.

Most amazing jew boots

Kain has all the Strength Ups, Sacrifices, Berserks, and a pretty good boss killer. It's hard to tell if Berserk stacks or cancels passive abilities that already activated though.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've got 2-3 Black Shard maps that I could share over VS. I'm honestly not sure how many characters I have left to unlock. I wish there was a way to easily check that in-game. I did one quest for green shards without realizing I'd already unlocked all of the green people.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Half the tracks will just be remixes of the overture, but it's still gonna be good.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Even more DLC announced today including Xenogears and Seiken Densetsu 3!

Final Fantasy VII – Opening Bombing Mission (BMS)

Final Fantasy XIV – Primal Judgment

SaGa Frontier – Last Battle –T260G-

Final Fantasy Adventure – In Search of the Sacred Sword

Seiken Densetsu 3 – Sacrifice Part 3

Xenogears – Soaring the Skies

Most amazing jew boots

I figured you'd lose your mind when you saw both a Xenogears track and the SaGa final battle theme you've been raving about. They all came out today too, so no waiting for months like the Bravely Default DLC.

FELIPE NO

Playing songs from FF 1-6, Tactics, or Crystal Chronicles trips a lot of people up in my experience. Most of the challengers I've met online only pick the newer songs. Then just pray you don't get hit with Random Speed or Judgement too much.

Most amazing jew boots

New DLC announced for Japan tomorrow! The highlights include 2 more Chrono Trigger tracks and 2 tracks from The World Ends With You. It's unclear when it'll come out in the west, but tomorrow is a possibility.

[BMS] Liberi Fatali (Final Fantasy VIII)
[BMS] The Last Battle (Romancing SaGa 3)
[BMS] World Revolution (Chrono Trigger)
[FMS] Wind Scene (Chrono Trigger)
[BMS] Twister (The World Ends With You)
[FMS] Calling (The World Ends With You)

World Revolution is probably my second favorite Chrono Trigger song, and you can't go wrong with TWEWY. Here's hoping for To Far Away Times and Deja Vu making it into the next round of DLC.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
