I don't think adding the ability to save at will is all that satisfactory a solution, because some games of that era are somewhat balanced and built around restricted saving. Not to say that such points are pretty optimally spaced or anything. I'm also pretty biased but I lack the self control to resist save-scumming frequently, so it's nice being forced into not doing it. | ||

I know that FF7-10 are regarded as classics. But I'm personally not too fond of them because I think Square went overboard in making over long cutscenes and over long animations. I actually played FF9 very recently. My hours played to finish it was much shorter compared to more modern JRPGs like Persona 5, Octopath Traveler and Legend of Heroes:Trails of Cold Steel. FF9 just felt longer. | ||

Yeah unskippable cutscenes are silly, agreed there. I still like my arbitrary staggered saves though, where you have to beat a full hour or so without fucking up, but cutscenes you can’t bypass are silly. | ||

There seem to be 3 features, each of which you can toggle on or off: 1. Can change the speed of everything (movement, text speed, battles) from Normal to x3 Speed; 2. Can turn off random encounters/ wild battles; 3. Can make you essentially invincible during battle (your HP and MP and Limit meter get 100% replenished after every single hit you take from an opponent... I haven't been one-shotted yet but I assume you don't die/ stay dead). Obviously, choosing to turn on some of these makes the game muuuuch faster. After my game froze and I had to redo a lot of work, I just skipped it all with these cheats because I wanted to make sure the game could eventually save (it seems to be working now), but now I feel like the experience is cheapened because I have to choose between playing the game fairly and possibly not having that hard work end up saving if the game freezes. | ||

I save after every time consuming segment I don't care to repeat. Occasionally, I create a separate save file after a huge info dump/conversation segment/cutscene so I can watch it again later but I'd really rather not watch it again immediately just because I died afterwards. | ||

Basically u Rock Paper Scissors first to see who strikes for a 1-2-1 ban on 5 starting stages. Then u both pick characters. What I can’t seem to find out is how ur supposed to pick characters fairly during banning stage phase. I typically thought u just pre-pick your characters (without ur opp knowing) via writing it in ur phone etc, then finish up stage ban phase then reveal char ur showing ur phone. But how my local does it is they announce chars by verbally saying it same time before ban/pick stage phase. I got into a small argument with my opp over which way was best. And we eventually did it the verbal way before stage picks. I just want a better opinion. I tried searching for official rules but can’t find any that answers my question. | ||

Don't know but you often see pros counter pick their opponent since most people main one character. So then it can't really be pre-set. Switching mid-series happens. | ||
