So after playing a bit of FFIV on switch and getting stuck at Baigan I've decided ATB just kinda isn't my vibe. I enjoy turn-based games and action games though, so I thought it would make most sense to maybe start from X and then move on to the action games in the series, (hopefully XIII will come soon before I get to XV). I've played FFVII Remake and liked it, though I'm sure I didn't master the mechanics at all lol. Do you think I can still have a valid final fantasy experience skipping most the series (atb games)?

Don't!

Ff4 is incredible, but it's also broken, I had the same problem.

The battle speed setting basically makes bosses attack stupid fast, turn it down for bosses then back for adventuring.

Had Dr whatshisface use me inappropriately several times before I finally figured out why I was just getting rolled.

Love that game so damn much.

This is for the 3d remake, but also might work on other games too, battle speed basically only increases enemy speed unlike in the original, and they just attack back to back.

You might be right, I never messed with the settings, online people recommend wait. But battle speed could really help! I remember thinking I wasn't able to even try to attack. And once he used haste it was all downhill from there. Which sucked cuz I was actually into the story at that point. You've given me something to consider replaying :)

Ff4 is so high on my list of rpgs and it gets better from there (though the troll cave is horrible).

I don't know where this bug came from but it's known, I just lowered battle speed for really annoying bosses like baigan and that doctor, it's basically impossible otherwise.

Best of luck, the story on ff4 is incredible.
