    Default Chocobo Series?

     
    Any one played this?

    Any one like this?

    Any one have this?

    I read on Wiki that it's basically a big super massive gigantic dungeon crawl.

    I've played/have chocobo's dungeon or whatever it's called. It's OK-ish. Some things are cool, for example it looks nice and the story's pretty good, also the fighting can be fun. But it's also ridiculously simple and thus way too "my-first-rpg-y".

    Here's a list of the god-awful screw ups that have their own circle of hell from other games, that squeenix felt this game needed:
    *When you die you lose your inventory, which can only be prevented by putting it all in the bank.
    *Equipment breaks, like a mmorpg. Just plain gay in the middle of a dungeon.
    *There's a hunger system like Dark Cloud, which is just incredibly stupid and annoying and needs to go to hell.
    *You have to analyse items, a big thing in many rpgs, but it's annoying and when you only have a limited space and you need all the potions and spells you can get your hands on. Also just drinking/equipping the items before you analyse them often ends in getting poisoned, which can only be cured by items you probably don't have, or getting cursed by cursed equipment that you can't un-equip and eventually causes death.
    *Getting affliceted with status effects can usually only be healed with items and pretty much always leads to you getting buggered to death.
    *When combining items there's always a fair chance you'll lose your best equipment which you can't and wont get back.

    But I guess it's still nice looking and can be fun and the job system is actually pretty awesome, but trying to level up a new job in a new dungeon pretty well always ends in death because it doesn't have enough health/defense/attack/spells yet and dungeons are too long.

    Overall it's not really worth it, I mean I still like it cuz I'm nuts and the fighting and story are just barely good enough to keep me going, but it's mostly down to the fact that I didn't pay for it and the chocobo looks ridiculously cute in the dragoon armour. Although the dungeon crawling can be like scraping out your brains with a used byro.

    That sounds like it sucks. Usually whenever I get my best equipment, I don't trade it in for suckier equipment. I don't think I've ever had a poisoned potion. And I'm pretty sure if a cursed sword started killing me slowly, I would just drop it and move on lmao. That game sounds sooo ghetto

    YOu can't drop stuff that's equipped and cursed and if you don't want to analyse equipment the only test is to equip it, sometimes it's better but usually not.
