Final Fantasy 9, the super heavyweight work of p>SQUARE Company in 2, has been haunting me since its birth. It was not until two years later that I was lucky enough to see its true content. As it turns out, the hard expectation of these two years was particularly worthwhile, and she never let me down.
1. Game impression:
From many settings of Final Fantasy 9, we can perceive the thoughtful consideration of SQUARE Company, and friends who love Final Fantasy series will be deeply touched by it. The Ninth Generation can be likened to the melting pot of the predecessor of Final Fantasy series, where there are magic stones surging in seven generations, interesting card world in eight generations, ingenious professional system in the strategic version and, of course, throughout the series.
after experiencing the perfect impact of eight generations of true proportion figures, we may not be willing to return to the previous Q version, and the ninth generation just put the big head and small feet on the stage again, which inevitably makes people hesitate. Please be patient, the final fantasy is always the final fantasy, we don't have to question the picture problem, just wait to be impressed by the exquisite CG and thrilling battle pictures; At the same time, the classical music of the Seven Dynasties began to run through the time and space of the Nine Dynasties. Haha, I couldn't help being ecstatic. When the battle was over, the familiar "Dangdang Dangdang Dangdang ..."
2. Role:
The hero of the Nine Dynasties was a teenager with a monkey tail, had no childhood memories, was a thief by profession, and lived a carefree life before the story began. She, the princess of Alexandria, an abandoned baby in a distant continent, was saved by a kind-hearted king and his wife; Their life is a profound mystery, and when this mystery is uncovered, the journey of fate will really begin. In the story, there are also the impatient knight who works for the royal family in the center, the kind-hearted dark Taoist who grew up during the trip, the dragon knight who comes from another big nation and is deeply pregnant with the mission of looking for a distant lover, the lovely gourmet who grew up in the swamp and ate an amazing amount, the last descendant of the summoning clan, the Guo Xuwei Taoist who fell in love with the protagonist at first sight, and the conceited fighter who has no feelings and no pursuit but fights and keeps fighting. These characters are body double, who has traveled around the world for nine generations. Are you ready?
(attached: introduction of each character's characteristics)
1. The protagonist: with stealing skills and strong physical attack, he is the only person who can synthesize weapons in the equipment synthesis shop, using double short knives or synthetic knives;
2. Princess: She has the skills of summoning magic and white magic, and her white magic tends to be offensive; In DISK 3, you will get the "CARNET" gem given by BEATRIX, from which you can learn the strongest summoning magic "Bahamut", and learning the "BOOST" skill in the later stage of the game can greatly increase the power of summoning magic; The weapon used is a white wand;
3. Knight: He has knight's swordsmanship, which is similar to the knight's attack skill in Final Fantasy Strategy Edition. In my opinion, most of them are chicken ribs; It also has super physical attack power, and the weapon used is a sword;
4. Dark Taoist: The only person in this novel who can learn dark magic, the strongest dark magic is amazing; Easy to fight with knights, and can cooperate with them to launch magic sword skills; The weapon used is a black wand;
5. Dragon Knight: Dragon Skill with auxiliary effect, but its weakness is that its physical attack power is not as strong as that of the protagonist and knight; Use weapons as guns;
6. Gourmet: A potential character, who can eat enemies in battle, so as to learn the corresponding green magic, including some of the strongest elemental magic and state magic, and also learn good auxiliary skills; But the disadvantage is that the magic hit rate is low and its physical attack ability is weak; Use weapons as knives;
7. White magic Taoist: Like the princess, he has the skills of white magic and summoning magic, and his white magic tends to be auxiliary; When the plot develops to DISK 3, you can get the final ornament "RIBBEN", from which you can learn her strongest summoning magic "TerraHoming"; The weapon used is piccolo;
8. Fighter: Having throwing skills, he is also a typical physical attack character, using weapons as claws.
3. Combat system:
We are satisfied with the amazing summoning attacks in the seven generations; The ultimate horrible killer attack in the eighth generation relieved us. What did the ninth generation rely on? It relies on a powerful physical attack combined with skills. Remember this sentence, this is the essence.
Friends who are used to the seventh and eighth generations will definitely be uncomfortable with the ninth generation. The ninth generation has strengthened the concept of real time system, and the action slot between the enemy and the enemy is still active during the launching of combat instructions, which greatly reduces the role of the role's action speed, and the waiting time after the instructions are confirmed will be very long. Moreover, the enemies in the ninth generation often have the ability to act many times in one round, so at first, I felt that this system was not refreshing. However, this has its own remedy: there are not many monsters in this work, including BOSS, so there is no need to worry that a battle will take too long.
The ninth generation created a new magic stone skill system. Characters need to constantly learn combat skills from weapons and armor, and the learned skills can only be effective with magic stone equipment, but the magic stone itself has no attribute difference, and the number increases with the level growth; The skills that a character can learn have their own characteristics according to his occupation, and occupation also affects the equipment of weapons and armor; This work also strengthens the universality of state attack. Monsters in the game generally have different kinds of state attack abilities, and characters can learn the corresponding state defense skills. On the other hand, the weapons of characters often have some state or element attack attributes, and they need to be equipped with "ADD STATUS" to take effect.
The following are the elements and state systems set in the Nine Dynasties:
Elements: FIRE (fire, anti-ice, immortal)
ICE (ice, anti-insect, giant monster, fire, dragon)
THUNDER (thunder, anti-water monster)
EARTH (earth, no effect on air monsters) < Anti-darkness)
SHADOW
Status: CONFUSE (chaos, automatic recovery after fighting)
BERSERK (madness, automatic recovery after fighting)
STOP (stop, automatic recovery after fighting)
POISON (poisoning, automatic recovery after fighting)
Automatic recovery at the end of a battle
SLOW
HEAT
FREEZE
MINI
PETRIFY < You can't recover automatically when the battle is over.
VIRUS
SILENCE
DARKNESS
TROUBLE
ZOMBIE. You can't recover automatically after the battle.
AUTO-LIFE
REGEN (HP gradually rises, in good condition)
HASTE (acceleration, in good condition)
FLOAT
SHELL (energy shield, in good condition)
PROTECT. Good state)
REFLECT (magic reflex, good state)
4. nirvana:
The ninth generation actually weakened the function of nirvana, and its launch was automatic, that is, it started itself when the anger tank was full, thus limiting its practicality. Each character's killing skills are different:
The protagonist can launch killing attacks, and the tactics increase with the level increase, and the maximum power is to cut the enemy HP9999 points;
Princess: Increases the power of summoning magic;
knight: simply enhance physical attack power;
Dark Taoist: You can release dark magic twice in a row;
dragon knight: simply enhance physical attack power;
Gourmet: The command "COOK" appears to enhance the ability to devour monsters;
White Magic Taoist: You can release white magic twice in a row;
fighter: simply enhance physical attack power
5. Equipment and prop system:
The equipment and prop system of the Ninth Generation is very complicated, and the props are mainly some HP, MP, various bad state recovery drugs, and various gems with different skills. Equipment is divided into weapons, hats, armor, gloves or armbands, ornaments, etc., which are used by different occupations.
The strongest equipment can't be bought from stores. There are two ways to get the ultimate equipment. One is to steal it from the BOSS in the memory dreamland of DISK 4 (the protagonist must be equipped with two skills: "BANDIT" and "MASTER THIEF"). One is to synthesize in an advanced equipment synthesis shop.
The strongest equipment synthesis shop on the big map in the game is located in "DAGUERREO" (with two waterfalls flowing down) on the largest island at the southern tip of the western continent, and the shop is on the second floor, where final equipment such as "THIEF GLOVES" can be synthesized; The strongest equipment synthesis shop in this work is hidden in the memory dreamland of DISK 4, and the discovery method is as follows: reach the underwater scene (when entering this scene, the gourmet will trigger a plot), and there is a boulder in the middle of the scene, which can enter behind it. The protagonist will be blocked by the boulder, and when walking back and forth, he can find out what the protagonist has touched. Choose 2: "Do not leave" to fight against the King of Skull (you can gain more than 2, points of experience if you defeat it). What is synthesized here are all fantastic treasures, but the components needed for synthesis are also very rare.
VI. Skill system:
This work also constructs a very complicated skill system. First of all, each character has unique professional skills:
The protagonist: stealing, killing skills (learned automatically with the increase of level) and fighting skills (learned from weapons);
Princess: Summoning skill (acquired from plot development or learned from ornaments);
Knights: combat skills (learned from weapons) and magic sword skills (need to cooperate with the dark Taoist priest, and the magic sword attacks that can be launched are consistent with the magic spells that can be cast by the dark Taoist priest);
dark Taoist priest: "FOCUS" (to enhance his magic power);
Dragon Knight: "JUMP" (jumping attack, increasing attack power), dragon skill (learned from weapons);
Gourmet: "EAT" (eat the enemy and learn the corresponding green magic, which is similar to the "ENEMY SKILL" magic spar in the Seven Dynasties and the green magic used by the protagonist teachers in the Eight Dynasties);
White Devil Taoist: Summoning skill (learned from ornaments);
Fighters: fighting skills (learned from weapons) and "THROW" (throwing equipment can be purchased from shops)
On the other hand, it is a complicated general skill system, which can be learned from various equipment and ornaments, many of which play a vital role in the smooth progress of the game. The following is a brief explanation of some important skills:
AUTO-REFLECT:
AUTO-REGEN: it is a very important skill to always be in the state of HP's gradual recovery, and to follow the real time system without interruption during the launching of combat instructions;
AUTO-LIFE: automatically resurrected once in battle, remember only once;
MP ATTACK: Consume MP to enhance the physical attack power, and consume more than MP3 points at a time, which is necessary when confronting BOSS;
ADD STATUS: physical attack is attached to state attack, and the properties of state attack are different according to weapons;
LEVEL UP: 5% more experience, so you should learn this skill as soon as possible;
ABILITY UP: 1% more AP value, you should learn this skill as soon as possible;
BODY TEMP: it is often used to resist heat or freezing;
ANTIBODY: it is often used to resist poisoning or deep poisoning;
CHEMIST: Use drugs to exert 2% efficacy, and it is better to combine with AUTO-POTION;
AUTO-POTION: automatically use POTION when attacked, preferably combined with CHEMIST, which is especially useful in the early stage of the game;
BOOST: enhance the power of summoning magic;
MILLIONAIRE: Get 2% money after the battle and make money.
RESTORE HP: restore HP when dying, and it is recommended to use it when fighting BOSS.
VII. Confronting the final BOSS:
In the end, the "God of Destruction" of the boss is really abnormal, and it acts almost continuously without gaps. Its tricks are still endless and powerful, but it has a fatal weakness: there are too few HP, only about 5,, which has caused me to turn it over when I am still unfinished. Of course, before confronting it, detailed and scientific preparations are indispensable:
1. Choose a reasonable team combination or the team with the strongest fighting capacity. From the very beginning, I put forward that the ninth generation of fighting relies on powerful physical attacks, so the wise choice is to build a team composed of three physical attack players and a recovery player. I choose the protagonist+knight+fighter+white magic Taoist, and of course I can choose the princess to replace the white magic Taoist.
2. All characters are equipped with armor that can prevent or absorb Holy/Shadow/Fire/Thunder/Ice/Water. There is a hat "BLACK HOOD" that can prevent FIRE, THUNDER and water by 5% at the same time, and can be bought directly, which is a good appliance; In addition, there are many devices to prevent or absorb HOLY/SHADOW, so choose the right one.
3. All characters are equipped with AUTO-REGEN skills;
4. Three physical attack characters are equipped with skills such as MP ATTACK, HP+2%, DEVIL KILLER, HP RESTORE, ACCURACY+, and the recovery characters are equipped with skills such as MP+2% and BOOST;
5. prepare some drugs such as ETHER and ELIXIR for emergency use, but they are generally not needed. Who made the BOSS so short-lived?
VIII. Card Games:
The card games of the Ninth Generation adopted different rules from those of the Eighth Generation. Simply speaking, each card has two attributes, one is the face value, which is represented by four characters of numbers combined with letters; The other is the battle arrow, and arrows in different directions can be in the same direction.
