Unranked Games / Re: Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

« on: November 29, 2009, 03:24:16 AM »

I'm working on calculating the averages.  I didn't realize I had forgotten them until about a minute after I posted that. 

Concerning the equipment, I realize that what I have there is a bit of a problem, and trying to explain that in the section titled "The Equipment Dilemma".  No, the Ultima Weapon is not a common item.  There is only one of them.  EVERY item you use in the endgame is like that.  While I could have limited things to store-bought equipment from earlier, it would have seriously weighted everything in favor of the mages (more so then it already was), as opposed to actual in game performance.  As for plot equipment, the only ones I can think off the top of my head that might count toward that is letting Rydia use the Mystic Whip and giving Cecil the Excalibur.  I realize this makes their set-ups of questionable legality, but I honestly wasn't sure how else to go about it considering what this game gives you to work with.

As for the other concerns brought up, I haven't included any temps in there.  Unfortunately I also do not have any boss statistics at this time.  Really, I'm not sure how to even go about getting those without ripping from a FAQ somewhere.

Unranked Games / Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

« on: November 28, 2009, 08:40:05 AM »

Sorry if this isn’t very good, but it’s my first time attempting this kind of thing.  That being said… *ahem*

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is an RPG originally released as a cell phone game in Japan, and more recently on the Wii through the Wii Ware downloads.
A brief explanation of status terms
HP: You need this to live.  Lose all of it and the character is KO’d.  If everybody in your party is KO’d then the game is over.
MP: Use these to make the people go boom.
Strength: How hard a character hits things
Speed: How quickly a character gets their turns and perform actions.  Some moves require charge times before they can be used.  I have denoted this with CT, for “Charge Time”.  1 CT is equal to approximately the same time it would take that character to take a turn.  Thus ½ CT is equal to half the time for a turn, 1 1/3 CT is equal to the time it takes to get a turn plus another third of that, and 3 CT is why you will never see Meteor being used in a duel.  Please keep in mind that these times are only estimates, as measured in an amateurish fashion with a watch.  I do not guarantee absolute accuracy here.
Stamina: Physical toughness
Intellect: How powerful a character’s black and summon magic is.
Spirit: How powerful a character’s white magic is.
Attack: Where you see X*Y, X = the possible number of attacks, and Y = how powerful each attack is
Accuracy: how likely each attack is to hit
Defense: Where you see X*Y, X = how many times a character can try to avoid a physical attack, and Y = how much punishment the person can take
Evasion: how likely a character is to avoid an attack
Magic Defense: see Defense, only with magic instead of physicals
Magic Evasion: see Evasion, only with magic
Status Ailments
Sleep: unable to act
Paralyze: unable to act
Confuse: will attack party members, including themselves.  Getting hit cures this.
Curse: attack and defense cut in half
Poison: occasionally take damage.  Not entire sure how much this is for.
Darkness: miss a lot with physical attacks
Silence: unable to use magic
Berserk: increased strength, but only attacks
Pig: the only spell you can use is Pig
Toad: Drastically reduced attack and defense.  The only spell that can be used is Toad.
Mini: Drastically reduced attack and defense.
Petrify: turned to stone and unable to act.  If party is petrified, then game over.
Slow: half character speed
Stop: unable to act
KO: You have Died
Unfortunately I do not have percentages for how likely a character’s status attacks are to hit at this time.  Sorry.
Positive Status Effects
Protect: cut physical damage by ¼
Shell: cut magical damage by ¼
Haste: double character speed
Reflect: spells bounce off the person with this and hit their opponent.
Float: avoid earth elemental spells
Blink: avoid two physical attacks
Awakened: Ceodore does his best Terra impersonation
The Equipment Dilemma
Normally in the RPGDL a character is limited to what is unique to them.  Unfortunately in this game, that is impossible.  Furthermore, going to the final area cuts you off from all equipment stores, and the best equipment you can buy in the game is pathetic compared to what you find lying about in the final area.  Unfortunately, most of the equipment in the final area is one-of-a-kind, and the only completely unique equips are Edward’s harps.  Thus, in an effort to make things fair when testing, I gave each character the best equipment they can use, excluding the Adamantine and Colored Tail items (because I pretty much missed the opportunity to get those).  Mind you, this does mean you have several characters tossing the Ultima Weapon between themselves, so the legality of this is questionable.
Damage Testing and the Moon
The phase of the moon in this game, which changes each time you rest or after a certain amount of time without resting, will power up and power down certain kinds of attacks, depending on the phase.  In order to keep things fair, all results were tested when the moon had no effect on that kind of attack.  The creature used as my punching bag were Goblin Princes, due to their having the same amount of physical and magical defense (this being 0 is mere coincidence).  However they are weak to lightning, so to get around that I averaged the results of other elemental attacks and applied that number to the lightning spells.  In the case of Zangetsu, who only has lightning spells, I divided by two to compensate.  Damage the amount of damage done with any particular attack is not set in stone, so results may vary, void where prohibited, etc. etc.

All character levels for this are 65.  By this point everybody, except Leonora due to her mighty Magicarp powers, has learned all their spells.  Now, on with show.

(Note: this move executes a random elemental attack or status attack.  However, not only is there a lot of them he can choose from, they seem to be effected by his current HP count.  Due to the large number of attacks, the random nature of the targeting and selection, and the varying effectiveness, I consider this move a headache and thus will not be bothering to test it)

Phantasy Star 3: Rhys was a Pure Fighter!  After that it...depends on who slept with who.  Nial was a pure fighter, Ayn had...some magic, but can't remember what beyond Healing, and fuck if I can remember what each 3rd Gen main had.  Screw it, Phantasy Star 3 sucks.

It's possible to get attack magic with at least one of the 3rd generation heroes, but honestly attack magic in that game is so horrible I never used it for anything other then healing.  So I'd consider them all Fighters, with some better at support then others.

Lufia 2:

Gades: 4/10 - He was there.  Get's an extra point for persistence in trying to beat somebody who whooped him without the Dual Blade.
Indura: 7/10 - Yeah, he wasn't the biggest threat out there in the large scale, but he managed to make it personal by threatening the life of Maxim's son.  Sometimes villainy can be found in the small things too, like say, baby-sized things.
Amon: 3/10 - He was there.
Erim: 7/10 - I think this game did a decent job of showing her waver between sides.
Daos: 3/10 - He was there.

Jeremy: 3/10 Meh.  Kinda generic psychopath who really was just kinda there.
Scythe: 4/10 Wannabe vampire.
Belial: 7/10 Pretty good for a psycho girlfriend.  Extra points for Tank Drop.
Lambda: 7/10 MANLY TEARS.  Still, not a bad example of the well-intentioned extremest.
Gawn: 4/10 I liked his death scene, but really why did he go along with Lambda's plan if he disagreed with it?
Hugo: 5/10 Evil Hiro Nakamura hype.
Balgaine: 7/10 ANTI-TANK CHAINSAW WITH ROCKETPACK.
Enil: 2/10 Behold, the power of emo.
Farmel: 5/10 Not bad, but not good either.
Tony: 2/10 Failed at being an entertaining butt monkey.
Kresnik: DNR
Augst: 8/10 I liked Augst.  Rejoined the war on the other side to try and bring it to an end, yet he never really came across as a traitor.
The Congressional Knights: 5/10 Generic villainy, but they get points for the synchronized dramatic monologue.

Wild Arms 5:

Nightburn: 1/10 Wah, wah, my girlfriend died of natural causes so I'm going to wipe out humanity.
Persephone: 1/10 Wah, wah, the guy I like doesn't notice me so I'm going to wipe out humanity.
Fereydoon: 2/10 Wah, wah, I'm a soldier so I have to wipe out humanity.
Kartikeya: 5/10 See, at least this guy would conceivably do it.
Elvis: 7/10 It's sad when the comic relief is the best written character.  Still, contradictions with his actions being likely to kill his beloved Carol aside, at least he earnestly looked for an alternative to wiping out humanity and came across as the only one actually trying to save his species.
Volsung: -10/10 Fine, 1/10 if I have to give a realistic score, but honestly Volsung's writing is so horrible it fills me with rage.  Hates racism so he's going to wipe out both species.  That's bad enough, but then they tried to justify it by having him be possessed.  But the thing possessing him is the souls of everybody else who failed to overcome racism!  Why in the world did the writers thing this was a good idea?!
WA5 Writers: 10/10 Created Volsung.

Wild Arms 1:

Belselk - 3/10.  Was big and smashed stuff.
Alhazad - 6/10.  Decent mad scientist character.
Zed - Not a villain.
Boomerang - 2/10.  Fell way short of his hype, and his interaction with the PCs was kinda boring.
Luceid - 3/10.  In theory a Guardian who sided with one of the demons could make for a very interesting character.  Unfortunately he never really did anything with it, in or out of combat.
Lady Harken - 6/10.  Started off as a strong villain, but eventually just became the damsel for Jack to rescue kill.
Zeikfried - 8/10.   Saving the world so he can take it over.
Mother - 5/10.  While she didn't have much in the way of motivation, I think that the scene with her in the crashed Photosphere did a good job of presenting her as a truly monstrous force.

Wild Arms 2:

Ptolomea - 4/10.  Can't remember much about him other then caring for his men.  If I knew why he was with the villains I might rank him higher.
Judecca - 1/10.  Lost a duel to Tim back when he barely had any power.  That's just sad.
Antenora - 7/10.  Crazy, but in an interesting way.
Caina - 2/10.  The only things I remember about Caina are a key and wanting to get in Vinsfeld's pants.  I'm not even sure about gender here.
Vinsfeld - 5/10.  He had high ideals and saw the world governments as corrupt!  I'm not entirely sure what those ideals are or what he objected to, but he had those ideals, dang it!
Lord Blazer - 3/10.  Was just kinda there for most of the game.
Valeria - 9/10.  Woohoo!  A character with clear motivations, and grand plan, and the ability to pull it off.  Top marks for that.  Then he lost a point for sleeping with his sister.  Ew...
Liz - 7/10.  Kinda funny, but he probably would have been a lot better with a decent translation.
Ard - 3/10.  Was big and said "Ard" a lot.

Wild Arms 5:
1) Yes
2) Yes to PCs, Sentinels, and Nightburn.  Abstain on Ice Queen Avril.  No to Volsung.
3) I wanna say that possible medium confusion would be a good reason not to rank the PCs, but honestly WA3 seems to do well enough.  That and my real objection is simply hating this game's plot and characters with a passion, which isn't really a good basis for voting against it.

Persona 4:
1) Yes
2) Yes to non-main PCs, 8-bit hero, and Kunino Sagiri.  Abstain on Ameno Sagiri and Mother.
3) I don't think ranking the two bosses I voted yes for will be too spoilery, and I think there should be some representation from the bosses here.  I don't think it would be that big of a deal to rank the others either, but I'm willing to wait on those.

Johnny Garland (SH3) vs. Dart (LoD) - I suppose I shouldn't really vote on this one as I didn't play past the end of the third disk in LoD so Dart might have some plot power I never saw, but still... I'm thinking that Johnny's Awaker form has the upper hand here.
Lucia (Lunar2) vs. Ryu3 (BoF3) - Lucia, while powerful, couldn't quite be considered a god from what I recall, and as the Brood's power was something that even a god feared I'm gonna give this one to Ryu.
Raidou Kuzunoha (SMT:DevilSummoners) vs. TimeLord (SaGaF) - while Raidou had a way to counter Ultimecia's Time Compression I don't think that there's much he can do about TimeLord's magic.

Hugo Hewitt (WA4) vs. Cecelia (WA1) - unfortunately for her, Cecelia does not come close to having Raquel's reflexes.  This means she's gonna get skewered.

Zelos Wilder (ToS) vs. Garet (GS) - potential Chosen hype
Ursula (BoF4) vs. Jessica (MK:AAR) - I think Jessica is a bit more powerful then Ursula, but Ursula is a lot more aggressive and she might nail Jess before she knew what hit her.  I'll have to wait for some arguments on this one.
Paula (EB) vs. Rita Mordio (ToV) - yeah... I don't think telepathy and prayer are gonna do much for Paula here.

Roger Bacon (SHs) vs. Leena (CC) - Dirty Old Man vs. Girl Next Door.  Either way this ain't gonna end pretty.

Godlike:
Ultimecia (FF8) vs. Raidou Kuzunoha (SMTDSRKs) - he can get around her time magic, and after that she's in a fight against a guy who carries his own personal army under his cape.  That's not ending well for her.

Heavy:
Alundra (Alundra) vs. Beatrice (WA3) - so horribly, horribly spoiled.
Kevin (SD3) vs. Ernst (S5) - yeah, I'll buy the rune hype.

Middle:
Ursula (BoF4) vs. Rebecca Streisand (WA5) - military officer vs. wannabe circus performer
Rikku (FFX) vs. Jessica (MK:AAR) - Rikku steals some of Jessica's "medicine" and mistakes it for something non-toxic.
Paula (EB) vs. Namine (KH:CoM) - I don't think Namine can warp Paula's memory, and outside of that she's helpless.

Light:
Dog (Secret of Evermore) vs. Hanpan (WA1) - Hanpan may be a lot smarter, but he's still a rat vs. a dog with frickin' laser beams.

Serious
Shadow Hearts: Covenant: Necromancer Yuri -  This scene gets me every time  

Stylish
Shadow Hearts Intro - It's only a flesh wound!

Humor
Persona 4: The camping trip from HELL! - One of the best laughs I've had in a long time.

All the Wrong Reasons
Intro to King's Field 2 - The writing may be bad, the sound quality worse, and the graphics are poor by today's standards, but that narrator deserves some kind of award.
