[Lionheart1827]

Go play FFIV then.

What's the consensus here on FFV?

Underrated, imo. Not as good as 4 or 6, but its Job system is great. :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

I remember I played it for a while, and got stuck on the ghost pirate ship part.

On a slightly unrelated note, I'm having to take a break from FFVI for a while to read the new Harry Potter /geek

hehe.

I had trouble on the ghost pirate ship, too. Add to the fact that on my old computer, it couldn't render some of the graphics on that part. I dont think its the rom because it works fine on my new computer. Whatever, I made it really far, I never beat it though. :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, you rarely hear that game talked about. I guess in between the apparently great FFIV, and my new beloved FFVI, its overshadowed a bit.

I'm still hooked on this FFVII soundtrack, its like replaying the game everyday.

FF Chronicles is FFIV and Chrono Trigger right? If so, I might just pick it up, since both games are said to be awesome. I'm not too big on ROMs, I'd rather play the real game if I can pick it up relatively cheap and have the console.

if you use zsnes you have to remove a layer or two to see past the mist stuff in that part. At least that's what happened to me, other wise all you see is the water

[Brew]

I couldn't really get into FFV, the job system kinda confused me.

This summer I really will have to just play through them all. I found out that I'm stuck on FFI at the moment so I might re-start it.

[MAthiAS]

After finishing FFVI, I'll probably finish my replay of IX and beat Ozma, then get Chronicles and beat those two games.

By then maybe XII will be out. Or I'll just play V.

What are you stuck with?

[Brew]

Hang on, I'll fire up my ROM and find out.

Edit: I'm in the Marsh Cave. I know my way through etc...but I've not got any items and am quite a distance from the nearest town.

After finishing FFVI, I'll probably finish my replay of IX and beat Ozma, then get Chronicles and beat those two games.

I'm going to complete VIII, then VII (I'm at the part in disc 3 where I can do whatever, I might get a gold chocobo, not sure yet) and after those two I'll probably play through the older games in order.

[red barchetta]

yeah, that part was annoying. on my emulator, removing the layers just made the screen black and i couldnt see anything beside the character. thankfully GameFAQs had a good guide for emulators for ff5.

who's beaten shinryu and omega in ff5?

[crag]

i'm at the part in FFIX where you're just about to enter terra, although on previous attempts i got my *** kicked. My characters are all around level 45-55, so does anyone know what sort of level my crew should be at before i enter terra?

[red barchetta]

you can level up in terra too, but level 55 is good enough i think. you can buy decent weapons and armours in terra too.

if you're freya is in a good level, her 'cherry blossom' ability is very good. it will do around 4000-6000 damage to every enemy.

if you still get pwned, a good place to level up is outside of Daguerro (the library), and fight the dragons, if you have 'level 5 death' with Quina. this is good because:

1. level 5 death will kill them in one move
2. it will power up freya's 'dragon crest'
3. if you steal with Zidane, you can get ethars and good items. stealing also powers up 'thievery'
4. good exp. points and good money.

when fighting the dragons, make sure all you're characters are in the back row, and have either 'reflect' or 'immunity to thunder'.

cool, that sounds good, cheers :thumb:

one other quick question, how do i get auto reflect?

[Zmev]

Only 8% from downloading Final Fantasy 8 (my second fav).

[DeusExMachina]

Just do it. You know you want to. At least you'll be wasting time with a great FF time, unlike myself, who will be wasting time with a terrible one.
But you're playing FFIV! That's an amazing RPG. Forget FFX, play FFIV. Way better. And Cecil does become quite badass later in the game.

[RCA]

I just found out that the Playstation version of Chrono Trigger has cutscenes. :eek: I'll be buying that soon!

/non-FF related

I love old Final Fantasy games, but the one thing I hate about them is the dialog boxes, and how two characters could be having a conversation in just one box. It really makes my eyes hurt.

[-Listy-]

Im gonna start 9 again, just wondering, whats the team i should be using all the time, getting them the strongest, so i know to use them whenever i can?

I only really noticed like yesterday how weird the dialogue boxes work in VI. I probably missed half the story :lol:

Zidane, Dagger, Steiner... Vivi and/or Quina and/or Freya.

[DeusExMachina]

Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, and Steiner/Freya. That's my party. But then again, I pick parties purely on who's character I like the most more often than not.

[crag]

my FFIX party is
Zidane- because you have to go him
Dagger- for healing my party
Steiner- his attacks are the strongest
Vivi- for his magic

i'm currently on my way to fight trance kuja :D

[DeusExMachina]

Good choice for a party. Vivi is definitely my favorite character in that game. He's so awesome.

[Happy]

In the castle before Kuja you don't have to have Zidane in your party.

[Lord Abortion]

.
the problem with that is you have to have quina in your party to cast it and quina to me is not so good, I will play freya next time though, I have never used her in the 8 or so times I've been through the game

[red barchetta]

Im gonna start 9 again, just wondering, whats the team i should be using all the time, getting them the strongest, so i know to use them whenever i can?
my party has always been Zidane, Freya, Quina, and Dagger.

Zidane's thievery does heavy damage on my file, all of my freya's attacks did at least 8000 damage, Quina has mighty guard and a frog drop thats does 9999, and Dagger had curaga (and Bahamut and Ark)

Freya's like my favourite character ever

the problem with that is you have to have quina in your party to cast it and quina to me is not so good, I will play freya next time though, I have never used her in the 8 or so times I've been through the game

Quina had excellent blue magics: angel's snack cured all abnormal status' for all characters, white wind recovered everyone's hp by about 4000, mighty guard casts protect and shell to all, frog drop does wonderous damage and magic hammer pwns Ozma. and his/her normal attacks sometimes randomly does around 8000damage.

[TheBlackAcidChildren]

Quina is debatable imo. I suppose Angel's Snack is okay, but it uses Remedies like anything... only place it's really useful is fighting Ozma's Curse attack.... and then Quina has to be able to use it. Curaga > White Wind. I never bothered with Frog Drop, guess I should. Mighty Guard isn't that great, I never really use Shell/Protect and with ATB they run out too quickly... And consistent high damage attack is much better than random high damage attack. I'd rather have someone consistently dealing 4000 than someone who could either deal 8000 or 100.

My party was the original four. Zidane, Vivi, Dagger, Steiner.
Zidane = stealing and attack, plus his trance is fantastic.
Vivi = Doomsday. Nuff said. Just gotta make sure you protect yourself against it, which is easy....
Dagger = Curative Magic and summoning.
Steiner = Shock, great damage attack.

But you can take down anything with anyone as long as you have the right strategy.

[DeusExMachina]

I always found Quina kind of annoying. But maybe that's just me.

[Lionheart1827]

Yeah, it's just really gay when you accidently go through a door and the other one is alive again.

It took me ages first time to figure it out.

VIII to me was kinda off.

VII was really good.

and IX had a melding of the good of VII and VIII. But IX still isn't better than VII, IX really seems to have an ending that was totally slapped together last minute.

I just started playing FFT for the second time a couple days ago. Man, I love that game.

[SoundofSulfur]

i'm not a big fan of tactics, i didn't like the battle system

[Lord Abortion]

I really need to buy ff11

where is the cheapest place I can get it?

[MAthiAS]

Tactics had an incredible battle system man.

And the story was top notch.

Lord Abortion, just search Froogle, the lowest is like $18.

[Shadows]

I found Tactics' story line confusing and hard to follow, but the battle system was very good.

So did I, but that's why I find the game so enjoyable to replay.

[Shadows]

So did I, but that's why I find the game so enjoyable to replay.
I only replay it to see if I can actually get myself a Chaos Blade for once.

And then I discovered the free JP cheat. :cool:

[MAthiAS]

Chaos Blades are easy as hell to get. Just equip Catch when you go into the level with the ninjas that throw them.

I myself always dupe Excalibur and use one Excalibur and one Chaos Blade, because haste is just too good.

And then I discovered the free JP cheat.
?

[Shadows]

I myself always dupe Excalibur and use one Excalibur and one Chaos Blade, because haste is just too good.I usually just duplicate the Excalibur eseveral times to substitute.

Yeah, there's a free Job Points cheat. I mastered White Mage, Black Mage, Time Mage, Oracle, and/summoner without even fighting a single battle. :cool: It doesn't work for all jobs, but some of the coolest and most expensive ones.

[MAthiAS]

What do you do?

Usually I just spend hours yelling and accumulating.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Can you get the gilgamesh card on disc 3?

[Shadows]

What do you do?

Usually I just spend hours yelling and accumulating.
I'll run you through the process.

Step 1: First, choose the job you want to get the unlimited points for. It doesn't work for every job. It only workd for the jobs with enough abilities to fill the screen (meaning if you have to scroll down to see all the abilities, you're golden).

Step 2: Get enough points to learn one ability. This is where trial and error comes in. The amount of points varies for each job. You just have to find which ability this trick will work with.

Step 3: Once you've got the points for one ability for the job you want, highlight that ability and press circle. DO NOT SAY YES TO CONFIRM LEARNING IT! There's something you need to do first. Have you ever noticed that when you're reading through something and there's enough info to make you have to scroll down? Well, if you didn't know, holding square and using direction up or down will automatically shift to the next page instead of you having to go line by line. Once you select the ability and the box comes up to confirm it, WITHOUT SELECTING YES OR NO, hold square and press down (or up, depending on what ability is selected). The list of abilities (in the background, since the confirm box will be in front) will shift. So you'll have selected an ability, and before confirming shifted the screen so that the cursor is on a new ability. Now, select YES in the confirm box. You should hear that familiar "ability learned" sound, but no ability should've been learned.

Step 4: Again, this part depends on what job/ability you selected. After selecting YES, your amount of JP remaining should've changed. It may have gone up drastically - that's nice, but we're going to max it out. :) Chances are the JP will have gone down to "000000". If so, congratulations.

Step 5: Once you have 0 JP for that job, leave the menu. Exit all the way back to the initial formation screen with all the characters listed. Now, go back in! If all went well, the amount of JP for the job you just messed with should be at 99999. :)

And that's it! Spend away! If you got some odd number of JP instead of 0, just select a different ability and repeat the process. Some jobs, such as black mage, take quite a bit of messing around to do (black mage has a specific ability you need to scroll down to; I had to repeatedly scroll up and down until I got to it with the confirm box out).

For example: Once you have access to a time mage, get enough points for haste (it shouldn't be many). Go into the job menu, select Haste to learn it. Before choosing yes, hold square and press down. The cursor should be in some other odd ability. Select yes. There you go! 99999 JP! Have fun. :thumb: This works with every mage job except calculator, and also works for very-cool jobs like Ninja and Samurai.

If you have any other questions about this trick just ask me.

[Happy]

Can you get the gilgamesh card on disc 3?
I think so, i remember getting it before time stops.

[red barchetta]

Can you get the gilgamesh card on disc 3?
yeah, you need to do the Card Collecter event in Balamb Garden to fight the person who has it.

[crag]

yeah, i completed FFIX :D

[DeusExMachina]

ShadowsFallen, you're my hero. That trick is beautiful. I have yet to try it, but it is definitely beautiful.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I dind't like how you had to intentionally lose your ifrit card to rinoa's dad so he would start using rinoa's card. I don't like losing cards. Also when I did that, The random rule was on, and I got lucky enough to get the ifrit card, but I also got the odin card in my hand aswell. So I lost both of those cards to rinoa's dad. But I got odin and rinoas card in the next card game battle with him. Then I went to FH to get ifrit back, and it took like 20 games bfore he used it. Then I got quezacatol(sp?) from their mayor.:cool: now I just need to get gilgamesh. Then I'll start that queen of cards thing to get kiros' card and everything else.

The sad thing is, when I played it on sat, I sat waiting for an airship to appear, just to watch it. Then i tried standing on the bridge when it took off and see what happens.

Healing takes too long is one complaint though. Lots of positives for me to look forward to though

Hahah, how'd you like them? The airships that is?

And around level 11 you start forming parties to kill things for experience, and any party will have a whitemage or a redmage that will cure you so you don't have to rest forever and loose tp in the process.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

They look like the FF9 ones, which pleases me. It was great seeing masses of other players pouring out the agency all at once, then watched as I was refusd entry.

I've got a friend who's started it recently, and he's going to start lvling up the white mage class when I start playing, so should make things easier.

And obviosuly, im loving the Black Mage class. Stone is suprisingly deadly.

Yah, BLM are a great class, you'll be getting invites for parties as soon as you put your seek flag up. Around my level the mobs can use the tier 4 spells like Thunder IV and Aero IV, they do around 500 damage to me, and then they can use Thundaga III which does even more ><

And in the update that they're doing as we speak(for 16 hours in which we can't play, ugh!) they're adding chocobo racing, which should be awesome.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

GAH! Shut up, I dont have money so I cant get it yet!

I went into kid at christmas mode when I saw a player going past on a chocobo. So racing already appeals to me.

[Otherside]

Well then fine, I'll be quiet :X

By the way, there's a sub-job system in FFXI if you're not already familiar with it. Basically, if you're going to main BLM then you're going to need to level WHM as well, and the reverse is true for your friend who is maining WHM.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Yeah, I noticed that when playing. I also like the way you can pick up any job at any time and lvl it up. So you can start fresh with the same char without starting another. Something ill be taking full advantage of.

[Shadows]

ShadowsFallen, you're my hero. That trick is beautiful. I have yet to try it, but it is definitely beautiful.
'Tis quite beautiful. I was skeptical when I first read about it, but then I started using it and was very intrigued. I had Blade Grasp really early, so all of my guys had only a 10% chance of being hit before I even found out who Weigraf was. :)

I've cancelled my subscription though, I should've said that as well. The only way to get to a decent XP level in that game is to play for hours and hours on end, and it gets rather tiring.

My brother and sister play it though. :)

[MAthiAS]

I've got WoW, so I have neither the time nor extra money to play FFXI. :p
I almost bought WoW. I have a couple friends that used to play it a ton, but in the end it would cost me ~$100 for the game, subscription, and mic, so I decided against it in favor of simply playing older, cheaper, and better PSX games.

Also, none of those friends play anymore.

But FFXI is pretty cheap now, and its pretty popular on here. Maybe after I get some money... then again, probably not though.

So, in FFV do you buy magic, or if you have the white mage or black mage job, does the person learn magic?

Also What do I do at that graveyard of ships? I already got the world map and now I don't know what to do.

you do buy magic, but there are some you can find. you can only buy 3 summons though, so you have to find the remaining ones. they are all quite well hidden.

in the ship graveyard, you basically need to cross the ships and get to the end. you'll have problems if you're using an emulator when you get to the part where you're underwater, cos you cant see anything. just remove some layers to solve this, or find a guide on the internet for how many steps to take to go somewhere.

Is it just me, or is FF tactics hard? I just bought and I gotta say, it's very confusing, the tutorial helped a little, but it seems like my characters arent strong enough to do anything really. Is there a way to train? Because it seems like all the battles are there for a reason, are there random encounters? Do I just suck or what?

Well?

There is a bit of a learning curve with Tactics, the beginning is pretty hard if you don't know what you're doing or level up much.

There are two kinds of battles, story and random... to answer your question. Yes, there are random battles.

The tutorial isn't all that helpful, just try out lots of jobs and abilities and strategies, figure out what works, its all part of the fun of the game.

[FlyingPaul_83]

yeah I'm kinda starting to get the hang of it. I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks man :thumb:

so how was ozzfest?

[MAthiAS]

Ah, I typed up a description for another forum, I think I'll just make a thread in R&M actually. Check there... its complicated ;)

[FlyingPaul_83]

alright, I'm gonna go try tactics again, I'll be back in a little while...or maybe a long while. who knows. I'll comeback to tell you where I am at.

FFXI Unofficial Trailer (http://academ.hvcc.edu/~00663054/Recollection.wmv)

Unofficial because its a fan-made video. There are spoilers, but you can't possibly know what they are if you haven't played well into the game. Enjoy. :)

Thought I'd bump this incase anyone is interested. :)

[man_with_bass]

Thought I'd bump this incase anyone is interested. :)


:lol: You're avatar is so ****ing funny. :lol:

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'm really starting to get a hang of it. I just need to try and beat that battle at the very beginning where there is 2 wizards a knight and 3 archers. I just need to get my other chemist to learn some abilities first. Very fun and addicting game.

[Brew]

Thought I'd bump this incase anyone is interested. :)

I watched it, wasn't too impressed with the backing music though.

Overall...it looks alright, I think I need to see more footage of the game though to decide if I'll buy it or not.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

You lie brew. You know its my rating that'll be the reason to buy or not to buy :p

[Brew]

Maybe.

If I had enough money I'd probably buy it this weekend or sometime during the summer anyways.

One of the hardest battles in the game is the... 4th, I think it is. The one that opens with Wiegraf threatening the archer, and then leaving. That battle is ridiculous. So no, it's not just you. That game is very difficult.

[gitzplayer1021]

no way, in FFT the hardest fight is where you have to fight Wiegraf 1 on 1... then he transforms into that goat thing without any rest in between and you have to try and beat him with your pathetic little team of 5 against his super-strong megateam of 4... i give up on the part all the time... :upset:

Yeah it's the fourth battle. Thank god, I thought I sucked horribly. I'm gonna go try to beat that battle now. Are the battles after that easier?

[DeusExMachina]

Well, for a while, yes. But there are some VERY difficult battles later on. Like, unnaturally so. But once you get TG Cid, the game is effectively over in terms of difficulty.

I didn't say hardest, I said one of the hardest. There are definitely harder battles later on, but that battle in the beginning is also really tough, especially if you've never played the game before.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah it's the fourth battle. Thank god, I thought I sucked horribly. I'm gonna go try to beat that battle now. Are the battles after that easier?
Yeah, the battle after the woods in the beginning is hard too, then Rat Cellar is also hard, but I find it a little easier, especially if you use monks.

That Wiegraf fight 1 on 1 is easy as hell, if you know how to do it.

The hardest fights are with Celia and Lede I think... especially if you try to steal. But overall I think the first chapter has the hardest battles.

Usually the end is considered pretty easy, but I still lose to Balk on occassion...

I think I'll replay that game sometime and use the jobs I never used much, like Samurai, instead of pwning with Calculators and Lancers.

[Shadows]

The one on one against Wiegraf is impossible - but if you do it right, it's remarkably hard to lose. I'd say the battle with Celia/Lede/Elmdor atop Riovanes is the hardest in the game, because it all depends solely on luch. I've been 20 levels higher than the enemy and still had to retry that battle five times.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Well I got owned again, but I actually did a little better this time. I killed one black mage guy, and thr knight that was being pushed around by the death corps. guy and one archer. but then the other mage just killed everyone and those damn archers just stayed afar and shot me with their arrows. Eh, I'll try again tomorrow.

[MAthiAS]

Whats your party like? If you don't have any monks... get some, and get Wave Fist first.

I'd suggest killing the wizards first... they can do the most damage, and if this is the battle I'm thinking of, Delita and Algus kill the archer on top, so don't bother with it.

That battle is pretty easy considering you only need to get off one attack (Ramza with two swords on Wiegraf). But if you're trying to steal the Cacusha and Barette... I must have tried over 30 times, I went back to older files to level up a ton, got different accessories... everything, its impossible I think.

Its cause the AI is retarded as hell. Whats her face always runs straight for Elmdor, then gets assasinated the next turn.

Alright, I'll try it with monks. :thumb:

I always try to kill the wizards first, but that ****in knight just kills all my guys, and it doesn't help when he goes straight to my chemist and kills him first :angry: .

you should change delita's class to archer if possible, and teach algus some black magic as a secondary skill, or vice versa (if possible)... try and kill the wizards first... and if all else fails, check out the free JP cheat a few pages back... works wonders :D

[MAthiAS]

Make sure you hit the knight from behind so he can't block, and try to stay as separated as possible to minimize wizard pwnage on you.

Oh yeah, with monks, Chakra is another essential skill.

[Kingofdudes]

Angel Ring plzkthx
really? I never thought of that. Now that battle isnt so hard :D

[FlyingPaul_83]

Thanks for the tips man. :thumb:

Hopefully I can get through this and progress on with the game.

Rant: the beginning of RPG's are my least favorite part of the game. I don't like how you suck really bad and can be killed by any monster in 2 hits and it takes you 3 hits to kill the monster. So when you're about to die you use your only potion and then kill the monster with 1/4 of your life, then you have to fight more monsters who are harder :angry: .
I start to enjoy RPG's when the story starts to progress, when you've gotten the hang of the battle system(equpping items and all that stuff), you have characters who can heal and and actually do over 100 damage(yay), and when you have a lot of chartacters. Then it's all good from there. I just got to "starting to get fun" place in FFV.

[MAthiAS]

Just as there is a learning curve with gameplay, there is a learning curve with stories... But I enjoy new stories, figuring out what the hell is happening. The Tactics story is enjoyable the whole way through though, and its hard enough and progressive enough to keep you playing.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'm not really talking about FF tactics, I'm really talking about FFV. Before I got all the crystals, That game was hell packed into a little ROM.

[MAthiAS]

Ah, FFV... the game I got stuck on... I don't remember anything about it really other than I got stuck at the pirate ship and said **** it.

[gitzplayer1021]

i never got into FFV... i always stopped right before i was supposed to go to Galuf's World

[FlyingPaul_83]

Ah, FFV... the game I got stuck on... I don't remember anything about it really other than I got stuck at the pirate ship and said **** it.


Yeah, If I'm thinkin of the place that you're talking about, then right after that is the "starting to get fun part", cause you can train and get some good abilities, and do all the good RPG stuff.

[gitzplayer1021]

i didn't mind the ship... i just kind of lost interest... i guess i should try and get back into it.

New Avatar (finally) :D

the part where it gets interesting is when you get the dragon. i loved the music played while riding it.

[Digital Boy]

I think the hardest battle is the second time you fight Elmdor in Limberry Castle with his two assasins. I'm trying to beat the game using no special characters and I think without Orlandu, that battle is damn near impossible.

[FlyingPaul_83]

the part where it gets interesting is when you get the dragon. i loved the music played while riding it.


I'm like right before that part, I'm climbing up the mountain right now.


Yay, I finally beat that battle that I was stuck on in Tactics. :)

[DeusExMachina]

Man, I'm getting a lot of cool advice for tactics from you guys. I have never actually used monks when playing that game. People tell me monks are good, but I never used them. Maybe I should start doing that.

[Shadows]

Monks are arguably the strongest (physically) job in the game. Their punches are brutal, and Chakra and Revive are insanely useful. The only stronger class would be Knight once you start getting Chaos Blades and Excaliburs. I almost always use Punch Art as msecondary ability for every character.

[-Listy-]

How much is FF11 a month? I want to get it.

[Mister_Che]

How much is FF11 a month? I want to get it.

$12.95 a month. $1 more per extra character. If you'd like I can give you a world pass to my server. That way I can help you out in the beginning.

[-Listy-]

Prob is i dont have a job/money, parents arent gonna fund it every month :upset:.

Monks are very useful in FFV. That is probably one of the best jobs that I have. They punch the enemy twice, dealing a lot of damage. But once you get the ability "two-hand" for the knight, then you do double damage so I'd say that they are equally as powerful.

Hell yeah man. When it came out I never had enough money to buy it so I would rent it at blockbuster(this was back when they only allowed 3 day rentals). So I would basically get home from school on friday, go to blockbuster with my mom, bring it home, and id play it nonstop during the weekend. I will never forget those times. :thumb:

That cheating bastard!


I remember when FF7 came out for pc and i got it, it kept on freezing right before the video when the first reactor explodes(turned out about 2 years later it was the true motion video codec wasnt updated, i didnt know much about comps back then). so i ended up taking it back. that was like in summer 97 or so. I never owned a psx, so i have FF7 and 8 for pc(and now i have a ps2 so whatever). Eventually, I did buy ff7 back again, and played through it, but didnt have the same effect as when it first came out. in fact i like 8 a lot better than 7, and people tend to hate that one.

VI still owns all of them though.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I beat the game with nothing but monks.


I was thinking about doing that, but I want to master a lot of the abilities, like monk, knight, white mage, black mage, and thief.


The battle after the battle with the 3 archers, the 2 mages and the knight is hard. Mathias, What jobs do you need to have leveled up on to get monks?

[MAthiAS]

Ahh thanks.

I'm really starting to enjooy the job system in FFV. It really lets you create a unique character.

[MAthiAS]

Indeed it does. I would always make Lancer's with Punch Art and Summoners with Math Skill. Maximum pwnage indeed.

I remember when I was 7 years old I saw the commercial for FFVII and said **** (I was very mature :P) I gotta rent that, so I did and in the beginning after you get off the train spent hours finding the door on the left :lol:

The next week I bought the game. :cool:

I really wish I could get farther into that game, but The battles are just so hard.

Me too! When i first played it i ended up walking into the invisible barrier separating the castle and the world map. I remember when you had to use the Runic blade when you were just with locke and celes trying to get through that one cave. When i first played through i didnt understand what runic actually did, so i ended up beating that tunnel armor boss with brute force, which was close as crap. Also, when I first saw the magitek armor marching through the snow, i just KNEW it was gonna be an amazing game.

also the ff7 commercial, i remember the slogan was like "and if you fail, you can always press the reset button" :thumb:

UGH, im in a very nostalgic mood right now.

God, I know what you mean. Kinda off topic, but when ocarina of time was released, i had a pizza party after school on the release date. I was so determined to get out of that party that i told them (after eating 3 slices) i was going to the supermarket with my mom. so i ended up running through the halls and i ran across the schoolyard to get home(i live on the border of the school district) with my huge black backpack bouncing all over the place. and there to await me on my bed, limited edition ocarina of time.

I think that was the most ive ever anticipated a videogame, ever. :thumb:

I picked out crappy stuff just to get home, even though I wouldn't be able to play the game for weeks. And the night I got it I stayed up playing it for hours, and claimed I was too tired to go to school the next day (I kind of was), and played it more.

haha yeah. I remember the weekend i got FF8 for the pc, I had a similar video problem that i had with ff7, only in 8, it was the part where you have to maneuver squall around the big parade. the game always quit out on that part, and it pissed me off. i also remember it being superbowl sunday. anyway i got so mad i ran out of my computer room and i stubbed my right big toe on the side of one of my chairs and it split my toenail rght down the middle(ugh sorry you had to read that). so i took off the next day of school, went to my friends house next door with a better computer, transferring my save, beat that whole part. and then, well, i pwned after that. :thumb:

Yeah, that's it. I was expecting XI to be more like the rest of the series, but they made it an MMORPG (to which I hold the opinion that we don't need any more).

XII contains a homosexual protagonist. Enough said.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'm looking foward for XII. It actually looks pretty coool. I want to seee if the new system works out, and how the story turns out.

[DeusExMachina]

I don't know much about XII, but I'm a little skeptical. I'm not expecting too much, and hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Slightly off topic, but when talking about OST's, Chrono Cross has the best OST ever. No exceptions, no exaggerations. Best thing ever. If anyone wants, I can probably put up a YSI link to it. Or you could IM me, and I'll send it. My screenname is DeusExMachina107.

Sure thing, just let me figure out how to zip up the folders.

Edit: Should I make it a winrar archive, or a winzip archive?

[Drall]

I don't know much about XII, but I'm a little skeptical. I'm not expecting too much, and hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Slightly off topic, but when talking about OST's, Chrono Cross has the best OST ever. No exceptions, no exaggerations. Best thing ever. If anyone wants, I can probably put up a YSI link to it. Or you could IM me, and I'll send it. My screenname is DeusExMachina107.

Holy ****, you are so right.

Chrono Cross's music is amazing.

[Shadows]

Chrono Cross's music may have been great, but the rest of the game couldn't have been more disappointing. I miss the old Chrono Trigger.

If you have it as windows media files, put them in a zipped file, that's what i did. Assuming that's what your question means.

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah, that's what I was asking. Ok, I'll put it in a zip file.

ShadowsFallen, I disagree. I thought Chrono Cross was great.

The only Final Fantasy game on Xbox(so far) is gonna be FFXI on Xbox 360.

no way, the game was just as good as the soundtrack.

Thanks a lot :thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

Sure thing, I'm uploading disc 2 currently.

Man, I'm listening to the soundtrack now. Brings back good memories. I love Chrono Cross. Amazing game.

[DeusExMachina]

Ok, the upload failed or something in the middle of disc 2. However, this has happened to me before, and then later the email would go through with the link, so I might still have it soon. In the meantime, I'm going to upload disc 3.

[Happy]

I'm listening to the OST ATM and it's great :)

[DeusExMachina]

Glad you like it. Dream of the Shore Near Another World (track 7, I believe) is one of the greatest songs ever.

[Shadows]

I couldn't get into it at all. The battle system was atrocious. Chrono Trigger had a more traditional system with ability learning and MP costs, whereas Chrono Cross had those terrible slots. The thing that really got to me was how there were very few abilities unique to each character. In Trigger, every character and 10+ abilities and dozens of dual techs, while Cross had about three per character. I hated it.

But aside from all that, I thought Chrono Cross had an excellent plot.

[DeusExMachina]

The battle system isn't for everyone, agreed. I personally liked it, but a lot of my friends didn't. But the story is what made it for me. The story is just beautiful.

[Mister_Che]

Whats the name of the song that plays on the world map of Anotehr World? That song makes me warm inside.

[Lionheart1827]

Agreed, CT > CC

But FF6 has the best soundtrack that square has ever put out. :thumb:

Oh. I think its just called Another World.

[DeusExMachina]

Dream of a Shore Near Another World. That's the one that I said was one of the best songs ever. It's orgasmically good.

YSI is being bitchy, so I can't upload discs 2 and 3 just yet. But, when I can, I will. In the meantime, all people with AIM are free to IM me at DeusExMachina107, and I will send them discs 2 and 3 over AIM.

Edit: Is it just me, or did the format of MX suddenly change? Like, the colors and everything?

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yay I got a monk on tactics. Monks are awesome. I love when ieveryone gangs up on the monk, then I just use spin fist. I hate it when people charm your guys. I was about to kill this guy and he charmed my knight and my knight just came up to my mink and killed her. Hopefully once I beat the battle that I'm at, the game will start to kick into overdrive.

[gitzplayer1021]

i liked tactics alot, but the thing was once you got all the special characters (Mustadio, Agrias, etc.) you had to decide who you were going to give up, so you could use the special characters. i was disappointed when i ended up not using any of the characters that just had normal skill sets (except for the one that came from chemist). i think i'm gonna try and go through without any special characters... except maybe Orlandu.

uh, I have no idea what you are talking about, but hopefully I will soon :)

[gitzplayer1021]

uh, I have no idea what you are talking about, but hopefully I will soon :)

most likely, what battle are you on?

[FlyingPaul_83]

I am at the battle where you have to kill some knight guy(or girl). I'm styill in chapter 1, so I doubt I'm anywhere near what you're talking about. I just got the game a couple of days ago.

if i'm thinking of the right spot, you're just a little more then halfway through chapter one... the first 3 chapters aren't that long, but chapter 4 is like as big as those 3 combined.

[Kingofdudes]

Orlandu makes FFT way too easy, he almost always has 1 hit sword tech kills, and his equipment breaking skills are just too much.

[Lionheart1827]

I love your icon. One of the best intros ever to grace a videogame. :thumb:

[eatmyshorts]

Has anyone ever got Cloud up to strength in FFTACTICS? I never could :(. His skills looked promising though and he's CLoud for crying out loud!.

I always use a Summoner with Math Skill. Zodiac and every spell baby! That's really the only great generic towards the end, but sometimes you can kill every enemy in one turn. Don't see Orlandu doing that!

I used to use Reis a lot as an archer too... Archers aren't all that great but I have fun using them for some reason.

Never really bothered, though I have gotten all his limits.

EDIT: Haha that's awesome.

[Lionheart1827]

Hey Mathias, you are at post 255, thats max power in a lot of square rpgs. :thumb:

*gives mathias the 255 cookie*

You're pretty close to chapter 2, I think. Have you finished the rat cellar battle?

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't, but my friend did, and said he's amazingly powerful.

[FlyingPaul_83]

You're pretty close to chapter 2, I think. Have you finished the rat cellar battle?


yeah, The next Battle I have to fight, all I have to do is kill 1 person, but it's kinda hard.

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah, you're at the final 3 battles of chapter 1.

I started a new game, and thanks to the beauty of that JP trick, my level 10 Ramza has mastered wizard, priest, oracle, time mage, summoner (except zodiac), lancer, and maybe one or two others, don't remember for sure. Beautiful beautiful thing.

[FlyingPaul_83]

So, can you get ninja and samurai jobs in chapter 1?

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, but you don't really need to get them for a while. I never even use Samurai cept Blade Grasp.

*finishes cookie*

[FlyingPaul_83]

Is the (?)geo rancher(?)job good? I forgot the name of it.

[MAthiAS]

Geomancer? I never really used it much. But its part of the requirement for Dancer (for females) and Ninjas. And Mimes, though I've never bothered to get a mime.

[FlyingPaul_83]

How are ninjas? are they any good?

[MAthiAS]

Not amazing as themselves, but Two Swords is the best support ability in the game.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yeah later today I'll try to beat the opart that I'm at, Right now I'm trying to get another monk and it's kinda takin awhile.

[MAthiAS]

Ah yes, Monks are the key in the first chapter I find.

[Lionheart1827]

alright

*tries to hijack the current conversation and turn it into an FF3/6 conversation*

the phantom train scene where sabin is eating like crazy was one of the silliest moments in the game. :thumb: :lol:



*crickets*

[MAthiAS]

I don't remember that part. OH yeah I know what you're talking about :lol:

Speaking of FF6, are there any sidequests I can do now besides getting Mog, I've just got full use of the airship.

[Lionheart1827]

I don't remember that part. OH yeah I know what you're talking about :lol:

Are you still in the first world?

I cant remember a lot of the sidequests off hand, but try going to Jidoor's auction house. Hmm, I love FF6 so much yet i cant remember certain things.

*dies*

[MAthiAS]

Are you still in the first world?
Yeah.

[Happy]

That's like the only bit from VI i remember :(

[FlyingPaul_83]

Damn you algus with your auto-potion!

[MAthiAS]

Haha that battle took me forever.

[FlyingPaul_83]

It's probably gonna take me forever as well.
