I thought apples grew in trees, not chests.

We should get more types of tree, like leaf blocks that have apples on them.
Or more crops.

Or more foods.

Well, Farming would have to be balanced out, since obviously it's not easy to farm for yourself and others in a zombie apocalypse. Maybe it would require a skill, and when plants finish growing they have a chance to survive based on A. how many times water reached them, B. How many times stepped on, and C. Farming level of character who planted them. It would take a few days to grow the crops yes, and they would go bad faster unless stored in a fridge, but it'd be a self-sustainable thing.

Chainsaws? Additions to grocery stores so we can "purchase" (Read: Steal the shit out of) seed packets?

Final Fantasy 4, the most generic JRPG that ever existed. It was actualy the first instance of a RPG for the casual player I saw. Basically square dumbed down the plot and the mechanics (if thats possible) to try and attract new players. It was a disaster.

Really?  Maybe if you weren't around when it was first released, but in 1991 on the SNES it was pretty revolutionary.  When I was about 13, I remember my friend and I rented it and we played it non-stop for about 30 hours.  At the time it was the greatest gaming experience of my life.

I won't argue that going back to it now (remake or not), it feels incredibly generic and boring.  Through the prism of time, it has become less impressive, but I certainly wouldn't put it among the worse games ever.

No no wait, we may be talking about different games. I'm reffering to one which barely has any intro, you're just thrown into a crumbling mountain thing in a generic fantasy setting, not the one that lets you change class or the one involving Cecil and Co.

You must be thinking about FF: Mystic Quest. I haven't really played it much, but my programming group wanted to base our game off of it. The game itself really wasn't that great, from what little I played, but the idea was that it was simple enough to base our own project off of. It really was a very simple game. And we didn't wanna reach too far for our newb programming efforts. And it definitely was dumbed down for new players.

Then again, I was playing Dark Cloud 2 just earlier today. I've owned it for years and never got past chapter two. I really want to like it, I really do. I think it has great potential. But running around snapping 10 million pictures and trying to invent things through sheer trial and error gets really old. Really, the main thing I like is the weapon upgrading system. Even the Georama gets annoying sometimes. I just wanna kiiiillll things.

It's called a strategy guide.
although some of the pictures are time-specific (Take a picture of the lake at night), enemy-specific (take a picture of some enemy while he's doing something) or simply timed to the story, so fuck 'em.

And by the way, any level with a blue seal is pretty much the game telling you to fuck yourself unless you've been using Monica ever since you got her. Whenever I went into a level that had a blue seal, I exited, went to the store that sold seal breaking items and proceeded to ridepod the rest of the level simply because I dislike Monica's ranged weapon.

I didn't get past Balance Valley. The gimmick of Balance? It's a giant set of platforms over a lake. As you shove down Georama elements, the platform you put them on lowers. I think to finish it 100% you needed to get all four platforms the same height. FUCK THAT.

The only thing I saw was the download link.

Hah, I feel stupid now.


However, the download-missing-.dll file method worked when one of my other games starting throwing up errors.
Call it mental memory. "Hey, downloading the missing file worked in the past so it should work here."

OK, I have played a quick game and am now seeing spots from the Dwarf Fortress-esque grass.
I can safely say several things:

1. The grass has given me a headache.
2. My team of goblins and orcs were dumbfounded by the concept of "put seed in ground to get berry plant" and my helpful contribution of a farm plot was completely ignored.
3. You Require More Vespine Gas Trees

HOLY FUCK THIS IS SLOW (it's on minimum graphics settings)
AND IT CRASHES WHEN I TRY TO GO ONTO A MULTIPLAYER GAME

Excuse me while I hop a flight to Blizzard HQ and deliver some old-style roundhouse justice.

I was recently trolled by a combination of physics engine and douchebag shaman.
