How's everyone's playthrough of The Ivalice Chronicles going?! Current mood is very much "Wiegraf's voice is perfect"... not at all influenced by that video essay we did... wink wink nudge nudge
My advice for playing Tactics has for sure changed throughout the years (and Ivalice Chronicles' QOL updates mean rigorous save management is no longer as crucial), but for the Wiegraf fight, I DO still recommend keeping a pint of ice cream on hand. To have a good cry over when it's done.
EXP Required@exprequired.bsky.social · 10mo agoWe're hoping you saw the little shout-out at one point... 👀
2 days left until Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles... what better time for a dive into one of the best characters in the game?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1lQ...
