The Black Mage Village (Final Fantasy)

[MAthiAS]

That sucks. I hate navigating Japanese websites.

[3rdplanet]

The whole Media thing happend to another website I think, for hosting the Advent Children trailers for download and not just viewing.

You can still see them all on the official site, just not download them.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah I know.

Oh yeah I hate how its a flash site, its so annoying.

[red barchetta]

i can translate parts of the trailer if you wish?

what? only 6 characters?

they all look pretty gay as well

[MrConeman]

I think they are adding more

[red barchetta]

they better do

[MrConeman]

I just watched a video of the battle system in action, it sucks more than I could have imagined *cries* what have they done to my precious FF's?! :upset:

[red barchetta]

i say it again: ff12 will be worse than ff10

[MrConeman]

I agree, because while almost everything in 10 was weak, the actual fighting that went on wasnt too bad

[Brew]

I noticed they still had that annoying little map in the top corner.

That thing made the game (X) too easy and less open.

[red barchetta]

it better have a world map...

[3rdplanet]

Fran = Enemy Skills/Blue Magic User

Gotta be.

[MrConeman]

Balthier is looking to be the only one there I like, because Pirates are cool, he's carrying on were Vincent and Irvine left off (Gunners) He's looking to be the Auron of FF12 for me

[red barchetta]

its a shame that the main character is not likable again...

i want another Cecil

[Lionheart1827]

its a shame that the main character is not likable again...

i want another Cecil

Hell yeah. Or Cyan, Edgar, Sabin, Lock, or Terra. :thumb:

[MrConeman]

Or basicaly anyone who doesnt look more effeminite than the main lead woman in the game

[red barchetta]

Hell yeah. Or Cyan, Edgar, Sabin, Lock, or Terra. :thumb:
terra = best main character ever

[3rdplanet]

This artwork deserves a thumbs up I feel.

[Liberi Fatali]

It won't.

I'm guessing the world map might right on later generations of video game consoles, once they have enough power to make the world map look realistic and beautiful.

[Your Mom, B*tch]

its a shame that the main character is not likable again...

i want another Cecil

How the hell do you know that the main character isn't likable? Have you played the game? How is the ending?

You guys are acting like idiots. Seriously. Most of you probably don't know anything about the game except a brief description of combat, and a picture of Vaan and you've already pronounced it as the downfall of Square. Wait until the game actually comes out to give your reviews. I mean the game's not even due out until next year and from the sounds of it you can all tell me everything about the game :rolleyes:

[Liberi Fatali]

The only thing I didn't like about Tidus really was the voice acting. So as long as Vaan doesn't have poor voice acting like that, then he'll be fine for me.

[MAthiAS]

I just watched a video of the battle system in action, it sucks more than I could have imagined *cries* what have they done to my precious FF's?! :upset:
Where'd you watch it?

Balthier and Basche look like they might be pretty cool.

Penelo loves to sing and dance.

i know everyone is talking about XII right now, but i have a quick VII question. at the part in the crater, where you have to give the black materia to someone, who would take it? i've played through a bunch of times, but it was always one of three. barret, cid, or red xiii... what options did you guys have?

[FlyingPaul_83]

I gave my materia to red XIII. I never really thought about it that much. To tell you the truth, I don't remeber much about that game.

[SoundofSulfur]

I just watched a video of the battle system in action, it sucks more than I could have imagined *cries* what have they done to my precious FF's?! :upset:
don't worry about that at all. i saw that video too, its from like 2002. i dint think it will be like that.

[Brew]

I think I gave the Black Materia to Vincent or Red XIII in my most recent game on VII.

Does it make a difference as to who you choose?

[Brew]

^I don't think it does.

[man_with_bass]

the battle system in ffx-2 wasn't that bad, i passed the game two days ago, i just used the Meggido garment grid, but i got easy once i got it,

FF12 looks good, i'll get it, oh and in ffx-2 doesn't it bother you that you cant skip the cutscenes?

Why in the world would you want to skip cutscenes?

[Brew]

You can't skip the cut-scenes in the older games, why would they start putting that feature in now? They are a part of the story and shouldn't really need to be skipped.

[man_with_bass]

yeah, but i hate the happy 'hee hee' parts of the game(ffx-2,ffx), but that's just me i guess.

I got the Edea card from her :cool:

I lost Seifer, Diablos, Angelo and a few boss cards to her though :(

The card game in IX took more thought than the one in VIII, it took me ages to work out what each number/letter meant.

With FFXI you get a free online version of Tetra Master, although I think you have to pay like a dollar a month for it. I actually never played it.

Yeah, my friend was showing that to me yesterday, before i was supposed to go on the main game to test it out.

Typicially, thats the same time the server he's on decides to go down for the day

[Happy]

I think i got all the cards in 8. I saved every time i was about to play a card game with the random rule, it took me forever.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I got all the cards in 8, but was one short in 9.

[RCA]

I was never good at those card games.

Since we're on the subject, what's everyone's favorite FF mini-game? Mine's probably the Chocobo racing in FF7.

The Coliseum in FF6.

[DeusExMachina]

That's a depressing prediction. But, from looking at that site, I have to say you're probably right.

[Happy]

Definatley the card games or FF7 choco racing.

[Blackhorizons]

The card games were fun man, I actually would play that for hours. Chocobo racing was also fun but I think that card games were better. How about the minigames in the gold saucer...

[FlyingPaul_83]

I like the card game in VIII. Very entertaining.

[MAthiAS]

Card game in VIII was great, I liked it better than IX's. Every once in a while I'd get pwned by a plus combo or something though. It was cool how there were huge sidequests with cards and all.

Chocobo racing was cool, the whole breeding thing was awesome.

Favorite game in the gold saucer outside of choco racing? Speed square was fun, snowboarding was great too.

[Brew]

I hated the fact that the card games were horribly addictive.

[Happy]

Oooh, I love Battle Square as well. I used to play that for hours on end.

[MAthiAS]

I never played it out of my own free will, I just needed Omnislash, W-Summon, and Final Attack. After getting those I was plenty sick of the battle square.

[red barchetta]

can anybody explain the 'plus' rule in ff8's card game?

[Happy]

My mate hated it too, he had trouble doing the special battle so he let one of his friends who had never played before try it and he managed to complete it.

[Shadows]

I never funderstood the card game in VIII. I looked at the rules once and it seemed very complicated so I never played the game.

[Bub]

I think the best minigame is Blitzball...
Chocobo racing was also fun, and the card game of FF8. I never took to 9's.

[crag]

ha ha, my friends giving me a borrow of ff9 with a walkthrough. this'll be interesting to see all the stuff i missed last time i played it :D

[Kendal]

final fantasy is so stupid. play fanle instead. it is much better

[I am a revenant]

I found the IX guide very annoying in some ways, if you wanted some information, you would have to visit PlayOnline.com and type in a keyword or something like that when the information should just be in the guide.

[Kendal]

wow ya'll need to get a girlfriend/boyfriend














:D just play'in

[Happy]

I doubt it. FF>all other RPGs IMO.

Post on topic or get out.

The Plus rule in VIII's card game was a bit odd, I can't really explain it without diagrams. I'll try anyway.

Basicly...if there were two cards in a corner and you placed a card in the middle, and both sets of meeting numbers added up to the same number, you'd get 'Plus' and flip both cards.

[MAthiAS]

I think the best minigame is Blitzball...
Don't get us started on Blitzball again... that minigame was something you would use to teach simple math to a first grader.

Plus and same always screwed me over, and random. That card game was awesome though, I never really got into the one in IX.

I doubt it. FF>all other RPGs IMO.
FF > God :p

[Brew]

If you could use the Plus and Same rules effectively they were quite good.

Random was always a bugger, along with Closed and Trade All (the one where you lost all cards/gained all cards that were flipped)

[MAthiAS]

Yep, yep. Is there any way to un-spread the random rule?

[Brew]

Its possible, it tends to happen randomly (bad pun) though.

eg: I was playing in Balamb Garden and after one game the Random Rule was Abolished.

Weird.

[Lord Abortion]

I got very very annoyed at the card game in 8 and 9 to be honest.

the same plus combo rule is the stupidest thing ever on a final fantasy game

on 9 it was the fact you could lose a head to head battle even if your card was way stronger due to the gay "random element" that had be throwing the controller around the room

[red barchetta]

If you could use the Plus and Same rules effectively they were quite good.

Random was always a bugger, along with Closed and Trade All (the one where you lost all cards/gained all cards that were flipped)
in my first ff8 save data, i got rid of all my cards apart from the character cards, so the random rule didnt do much.

i presume the 'same' rule happens when your two corner numbers are the same as the numbers next to those?

[FlyingPaul_83]

I never funderstood the card game in VIII. I looked at the rules once and it seemed very complicated so I never played the game.


The card game is one of the biggest side quest in that game, you should really try to play it, very entertaining and very challenging.

[Brew]

Yeh, Same + Plus is lethal, can sometimes flip over the entire board.

[red barchetta]

Yeh, Same + Plus is lethal, can sometimes flip over the entire board.
that happened once against edea, i was winning 7-3, but her last move flipped over all my cards... :upset:

[Brew]

She is really good at cards.

Random + Closed really annoy me. It takes alot more thought to win.

[MAthiAS]

that happened once against edea, i was winning 7-3, but her last move flipped over all my cards... :upset:
Yeah, that bitch... that happened to me so many times over the card club sidequest.

[red barchetta]

its even more annoying when the trade rule is 'all'.

[MAthiAS]

At that point I turn to the reset button.

[Brew]

I always end up playing until I win back all my cards, even if it does take over half an hour.

[FlyingPaul_83]

There was no point in the IX card game was there? It seemed like they just put it in so that they could have a card game, it's not even that fun. I liked the chocobo mini game in IX though. very fun.

The arena where you could win items? That was a point.

The one in 8 had less point IMO, but its just another aspect of the game that makes its playing length increase

[Lord Abortion]

.
but her card is well worth it to win...

two A's??

put it in the bottom left corner and you can't be taken!

huzzah!

Rinoa's card had two A's, but they were on both sides, which sucked cause her top and bottom were weak so she could only be used in certain spots.

[MAthiAS]

Well you could refine the cards into good items...

[red barchetta]

Well you could refine the cards into good items...
yeah, like you can change the bahamut card into 100 megalixirs :cool:

and if you get the quistis card at disk 1, you'll have 180 triples near the start

[MAthiAS]

But you won't have speed junction on many guys.

[Liberi Fatali]

I liked the chocobo mini game in IX though. very fun.
I found that game very tedious, I only did it in order to fight Omega(?) Weapon.

I enjoyed the card game in VIII much more than IX, IX was much more complicated and quite often more about luck than skill. VIII was far easier to just pick up and play, and was enjoyable trying to get all the cards. On my last play through I managed to get all but one, that stupid UFO card. :(

[MAthiAS]

I hated the chocobo game in IX. I never did get past the lagoon.

[DeusExMachina]

FF > God :p
Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross > most FF games. I would say that, in terms of consistent quality, the Chrono series (even if there are only two of them in the US) > the FF series.

[gitzplayer1021]

nah, i still prefer the FFs

[MAthiAS]

Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross > most FF games. I would say that, in terms of consistent quality, the Chrono series (even if there are only two of them in the US) > the FF series.
But there's only two of them... and the first two FFs were good (or so I hear). I'll have to play them after I finish VI and IV.

Ozma. Did you beat him?

[Liberi Fatali]

Ozma. Did you beat him?
Yep I managed to on my third attempt. I only did it after levelling up tons against Yans on Vile island. I had Freya on level 85, Zidane on 99, Steiner on 99 and Garnet on 80 odd.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I used Zidane, Vivi, Steiner, and dagger. Zidane just attacked until he got trance, Vivi would do reflect 2x flare, steiner would use shock, and dagger would heal. whenever dagger had a free round then she would summon, after a while i took him down. It was my second attempt. My first attempt was just to see how hard he was.

[MAthiAS]

How much crap do you need to get and go through to get to/beat him?

[FlyingPaul_83]

Well, You need to do the whole chocobo side quest. Then once you get chocobo paradise(i think that's what it is called) you go to a place there and then a moogle says no don't go there, then you do and then you fight him. You need a gold chocobo to fly up to chocobo paradise.

[Happy]

One day I'll beat Ozma, I have the chocobo to get there but i need to level up more.

[red barchetta]

if you want to hit ozma with physical attacks, you need to do the 'friendly monster' sidequest too, but you wont need to do it.

i used freya, dagger, quina and zidane

[Liberi Fatali]

if you want to hit ozma with physical attacks, you need to do the 'friendly monster' sidequest too, but you wont need to do it.

Which is why you need to have good strong non-elemental attacks like Freya's Dragon Crest and Steiners Shock. I had them each doing 9999 per attack, while Zidane and Garnet were support. Which made it a sinch.

[Happy]

Which is why you need to have good strong non-elemental attacks like Freya's Dragon Crest and Steiners Shock. I had them each doing 9999 per attack, while Tidus and Yuna were support. Which made it a sinch.
You mean Dagger and Zidane?

[Liberi Fatali]

You mean Dagger and Zidane?
Ah yes, my bad. I'm getting all my FF characters confused. :p

Been playing too much of 10 lately obviously.

[Lord Abortion]

Ozma. Did you beat him?
I beat him, finally, there are no easy win strategies for bosses on ix and leveling up is a bitch so in many ways I think 9 is the hardest game out of all the ones I have played- it took alot of hassle to get high enough level to beat ozma.

the chocobo side quest was pretty easy though

[red barchetta]

Which is why you need to have good strong non-elemental attacks like Freya's Dragon Crest and Steiners Shock. I had them each doing 9999 per attack, while Zidane and Garnet were support. Which made it a sinch.
i had freya use Dragon Crest, and Zidane use Thievery. thievery was a pain to power up, but it did 8000 damage on mine, and you can use it a lot of times before your mp runs out. i supported with dagger and quina, and used rei's wind with freya at the start

[The Reaper]

Favourite FF game has to be FF6.. Never completed it, only got to the half way point lol, could never get past the island.

Other than that FF5 was amazing, again never completed it :upset:

7 was good

8 was well not bad from where i got to but others say it was crappy

9 seems cool need to play more though

10 and x-2 were brilliant games! nice grphics pretty good story, and if you can put up witht he powerpuff moments in X-2 the job system was nicly restored/revamped


FF1 still kicks arse though


Infact FF > almost all other RPG games :D (i say almost becasue i still love Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross!)



yeah chrono tigger and cross are good games but i think FF7 and FFX were better

[MAthiAS]

If I ever get back to playing IX I'll have to get past Chocobo Lagoon... got stuck there forever and just gave up.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Funny as hell FF7 parody (http://www.deviantart.com/view/10730706/)

And another thats even better (http://www.deviantart.com/view/11048519/)

If I ever get back to playing IX I'll have to get past Chocobo Lagoon... got stuck there forever and just gave up.
It took me 2 weeks of almost non-stop playing to do the choco quests.

[Brew]

I got bored of the chocobo side quest in IX, it did entertain me though to run around on a bird and force it to smack its face into the ground :)

Also, calling the Moogle and not actually saving killed some time, they get pissed off eventually.

[gitzplayer1021]

oh, man, i'm still laughing from that last bit in the 2nd one.

"oh, right... barret" :lol:

[gitzplayer1021]

double posts... oh well. For anybody who's played FFT (on PS1), did you complete the Cloud side-quest? I did, and was kind of disappointed. i found that he was kind of worthless, especially compared to some of the the other characters like Beowulf and Orlandu. it was cool to do the sidequest to get all those other characters, but i don't think they did him justice.

[MAthiAS]

How so? You just need to level him up a crap load.

Oh yeah, you need the Materia Blade if you didn't get it. You need it to make him useful at all.

[DeusExMachina]

To gitzplayer1021, Cloud becomes amazing at higher levels. Or so I'm told. I never bothered to get him up, seeing as all my characters were high levels and he was level 1.

A little late, but about Ozma, I beat him at relatively low levels. Everyone was in the 60's or lower, I think. Don't remember for sure, but I've never gotten characters higher than levels in the 60's in any FF game. I used Steiner, Vivi, Zidane, and Garnet. Zidane was in the overdrive type thing (don't remember what it's called in FF9) so he could do 9999 damage with every hit. Steiner could to with some special attack, don't remember quite what, but I think I had him overdriven too. Vivi used double spell casting and used the best spell I had, which did like 7000 damage both times. Garnet either healed or summoned. I don't remember too well, but it was a very difficult process, took a lot of work.

I'm going to watch those parody videos now.

[Shadows]

It's hard to make him useful since he's stuck with the Materia Blade at all times. Just give him short charge and Math Skill.

[MAthiAS]

Man you guys make me want to get to Ozma now... could someone tell me how you get past the Chocobo Lagoon?

I've got to get through VI still too... and I just ordered a couple old Megaman X games.

[Grey Incision]

I find it really hard to get to Ozma, i think it's because my games glitches in the lagoon

[DeusExMachina]

I don't remember FFIX at all. I need to get a copy of it. But I'm sure you can get hold of info online. I seem to remember the whole chocobo adventure thing being tedious beyond belief.

Play through VI first though. Seriously. That's like the best game ever.

Oh, the FFVII flash spoofs were awesome. I loved when Cloud was like "Oh no barrett! Don't talk your black to me! I'm too white and japanese and cute."

[Grey Incision]

where would i be able to get IV?

Glitches like how? I never could get past the lagoon and I tried for hours and hours...

[gitzplayer1021]

i never got past the lagoon either, i got to a point where i just couldn't find the locations on the chocographs (mostly the ones from the lagoon [located in lagoons like "far-away lagoon" or whatever]), and i just got impatient and went and beat the game instead.

[FlyingPaul_83]

The lagoon is thw hardest part of the entire sidequest. Especially in the deep water part.Just keep trying thats all I can say, sorry.

To mathias and gitzplayer- what color are your chocobos?

[Liberi Fatali]

I found the lagoon quite easy. The trick is having a strong enough beak, if your beak is weak then you're screwed. But if you have a pretty strong beak finding treasures in both the shallow and deep water parts is easy, especially if you know the areas where the treasures usually appear.

[MAthiAS]

I forget everything about that mini game except the lagoon is where I got stuck... I think I had a blue chocobo.

[supra_speed]

Lagoon was easy, spent a whole of 3 hrs doing it though :S. Its worth it though, you can go to chocobo island and get heaps of them red peppers? and you could sell them and have unlimited $$money$$. Oh yeah, and you can find some mother ****en good items.

[-Listy-]

FF9 is the only game i got a gold chocobo :upset:

[Happy]

FF9 is the only game i got a gold chocobo :upset:
I got one in 9 and 7.

same here.

Did anyone do the chocobo sidequest in VIII? I didn't, I wasn't good at the whistle thing and all that weird stuff you had to do, so when I needed a chocobo, i would just buy one from that kid :D

[MAthiAS]

You needed to have that thing that's only available in Japan.

[FlyingPaul_83]

oh yeah the pocket station, that was dumb that you needed that.

Did anyone do the chocobo sidequest in VIII? I didn't, I wasn't good at the whistle thing and all that weird stuff you had to do, so when I needed a chocobo, i would just buy one from that kid :D

The whistle thing was easy on all but 1 forests, where it was next to impossible to do. YOu had to be in the exact exact spot, which took forever.

Even when using 'outside aid', it still took a while

yeah I never bothered with that quest, it seemed weird seeing chocobos in FFVIII. In VII, they were used to race to breed, and it was fun racing and breeding them. In IX, you had one chocobo who would grow and change colors, he was like your friend, and chocobos just seemed to fit in that medival setting. In VIII, it was weird seeing chocobos. You rarely see them, and when you do your just like, What? It was just weird seeing chocobos in FF VIII for me.

[gitzplayer1021]

i had a gold chocobo in VII and a red chocobo in IX

[Shadows]

I nearly beat IX within a few days of getting it (yeah, I played a lot) and I don't remember anything about a chocobo.

But VII on the other hand...I always get a gold one.

[MAthiAS]

Is there a chocobo sidequest in VI?

/is only in Jidoor now

[Shadows]

There's next to nothing about chocobos in VI.

[gitzplayer1021]

There's next to nothing about chocobos in VI.

yeah, you can ride them to move faster in the world map... i think that's about it on chocobos in VI

Chocobos... I wonder what they would taste like if we BBQs thn and ate them for our dinner? Garnish it with salad with a side-plate of fries...

Would different colour chocobos taste diiferently?

They'd probably taste like chicken.

[Mister_Che]

They'd probably taste like chicken.

Yup, just another white meat. Though I assume it'd be like horse, tough meat.

[metalhed-05]

why would you guys whant to taste a chochobo.

[ThePinkPanther]

to eat an exotic bird

[Shadows]

They're quite muscular. I would think it would be like eating overcooked steak.

[MAthiAS]

I'd eat the poor ones then.

[Shadows]

But then you'd feel bad for eating a ****ty animal...or disgusted, one of the two.

[Liberi Fatali]

I nearly beat IX within a few days of getting it (yeah, I played a lot) and I don't remember anything about a chocobo.

Sounds like you skipped over a lot of the bonus side quests.

[TheCrimsonKing]

between FF 4, 5, and 6

which is your favorite?

[gitzplayer1021]

VI for me, even though i never finished V or VI and never even played IV... but if i had to choose, that would be it!

[Liberi Fatali]

I've never played V and IV, so it would have to be VI for me.

[TheCrimsonKing]

Yeah 6 is pretty good but you should check out 4, its pretty sweet.

[Shadows]

Sounds like you skipped over a lot of the bonus side quests.
I probably did. I didn't know what the hell I was doing in that one. I'd like to play it again, though.

[Liberi Fatali]

Yeah you should, its a good game. It's even better when you've played some of the previous Final Fantasys and notice all the tributes to the old games.

[Lionheart1827]

VI is my favorite of them all. It had so many little intricacies that really added to the game. That and also having some of the coolest characters, storylines and music out of any FF(waits for ff7 fans to say otherwise).

oh yeah, the ending was unlike anything ive seen in a game back then also. :thumb:

To be honnest I think that Final Fantasy VIII has the best music out of any FF. *waits for all the abuse*

[-Listy-]

7 or 8 had the best music, although 9 gets bonus points for having that song (forgot the name of it) when you are in Garlands castle, and Zidane has kinda went crazy, and each fight someone joins you, so so so cool, anyone know what im on about?

[gitzplayer1021]

Garland's castle, :eek: i remember that part!!... now i want to just get to that part so i can hear the music, because it's been so long... let's see where i am in each of these files... how far is it from Ipsen's Castle?

that would be 'you're not alone', one of the best music in 9.

i say 9 has the best soundtrack, just because of the airship music (even though it dissapeared in disk 4:mad: )

But do people ride ostriches?
they do actually, but only for fun

*yousendit entire FFVI soundtrack*

j/k

http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1435TZBJ697I70ZMZMXEFX3QIE -FF6-Decisive Battle-I've always loved this boss battle music because it made every boss battle seem so suspensful and desperate. Best boss battle music next to FF4's, imo.
http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=349121XZGT2GO24VXZPBPHGUDT -FF4-The Red Wings-Ever since I've heard this song it's been one of my favorites. Even with the old synth, it still sounds powerful.
http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=08BS56DVVPFUG3HZLQO98ODW5O -FF6-Searching For Friends-The song that plays with the Falcon. Just plain awesome music.
http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=32693SJ36SAUR2ZK27FC6KGS4T -FF6-Dancing Mad-Yes, I think this song is much better than One Winged Angel. Multi-part final battle music that changes mid battle as you kill off the sections.
http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0XKM19NTJQQ6C08XCLPTQPESI5 -FF8-The Landing-This song is just so awesome to leave out. Easily one of the most powerful and suspsensful songs ever.
http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1PC4G5CL95DHF0SS94GKH9SLVZ -FF8-Liberi Fatali-Best intro music to go with the best intro ever. :thumb:
http://s45.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3U5UZ17NCKZCB2QFLH9KFTMVXR -FF8-The Legendary Beast-its the music that plays halfway through the battle with Griever(after he gets pissed).

There TONS more, but I'll end up filling the topic. Plus I need to take a crap. Anyway, get those links while there up people, because im not gonna reupload unless you want me to send on aim sometime. :thumb:

Yup. You can get the "pirated" versions of the soundtracks for about half the price of a brand new one on ebay. Everything about it is the same, the only thing is they aren't authentic, which is something I dont like. :thumb:

well if you want to listen to them or any other from games just go to vgmusic.com but i don't think you can download music but you can here it whenever u want.

Something awesome happened yesterday whilst playing FFVII.

I'm in Florida right now, which we all now is getting battered by hurricanes left and right. I stayed the night at my friends last night, and we decided to beat FFVII completely.

Well, we got to the part after jumping off of the train to get to the Sector 8 Mako Reactor. Immediately, I was forced into a random battle. I was fighting those lobster things that use Silk, and Cloud was first to attack. Cloud attacks, but just as he hits the enemy a bright flash of lightning strikes and a loud blast of thunder is heard outside. The attack was a critical one too, causing 250 damage and annihilating the baddie.

Lightning + Buster Sword to the face = PWNZOR'D

[TheCrimsonKing]

that is cool

[MAthiAS]

Lol awesome man.

[Shadows]

Most the most fateful coincidence I've ever heard. Try and time a Bolt spell with the lightning and see if it magically jumps to the strength of Bolt 3.

[TheBlackAcidChildren]

I finally got FF7 back yesterday... but I'm in the middle of FF9 so I think I'll wait until I finish that.

[Shadows]

Today I'm going to buy as many FF games as this store carries. I'll get X, IX, Chronicles, Anthologies, Origins...maybe I'm just hoping for the best.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Get tactics. Once I get some money I'm gonna go buy tactics

[Shadows]

I already own Tactics. I'd like to buy IX and X most of all right now.
