There will be an emo scene with Cloud crying to Sephiroth for killing Aeris.
Hahaha. I can see it now. They should get someone really lame to do Cloud's voice, like Justin Timberlake or something.

Yeah, probably Vincent. Sephiroth needs to be more evil I think.

If they ever remade FFVI, Mark Hamill should do the voice for Kefka.

Barret. Definitely.
I just noticed his last name's "wallace" as well :lol:
"Barret Wallace don't like to be ****ed by anybody 'cept Mrs Wallace"

And yes, Seymour was a tough boss if you weren't prepared for him... but when you're fighting with him against Sinspawn Gui he kicks ***! And so does his Overdrive.

The voices in the trailers for Advent Children seem pretty good and well suited for the characters, knowing our luck we'll get lame voices. Or subtitles.

I actually think I'd prefer subtitles rather than lame voices...

Her+Leon(Squall) Where the only decent FF voices in the game.
I don't think Lance from N*sync did that bad a job at playing Sephiroth. Probably because he didn't say much and had an effect on his voice.

Yes yes, very good game. I thought it was pretty cool how you could actually see armor changes and whatnot in battle. And the battle system was almost like Sabin's Blitz. Probably somewhat influenced by it... Now I feel like playing LoL.

Eh, I suppose. I never finished all of them in IX or X. Sidequests are awesome... they just extend the life of the games and give more replay value (which is already very good).

Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals has the best sidequest in video game history.

DeusExMachina

The sidequest in Lufia II can often take longer than the actual game. Honestly, the biggest challenge in that game isn't finishing the game, it's finishing the Ancient Dungeon.

DeusExMachina
07-30-2005, 10:13 PM
Sorry to doublepost, but I had to put this in. I'm playing FFT, just finished the battle where you go one on one with Wiegraf, and then fight him and his demons. When I got to the battle with him and the demons, I managed to take out all three demons and Lucavi with Ramza alone before any of them had a chance to even move. It was beautiful.

Edit: Apparently he's known as Velius, not Lucavi. So now I'm confused as to what Lucavi is, exactly. I literally don't remember the story to this game at all, so perhaps it will be made clear later. Oh well.

Ah yes, the hardest battle in the game to some... the easiest battle in the game to anyone with Move +3 and half a brain. Its the battle after that that gives me the trouble...

Should I play this Lufia II game? /is in the middle of 2 RPGs atm, plans to start another, and still has 2 Megaman X games unfinished

but some games have so many side quests you never finish the main one *ahem* morrowind

I hated Morrowind. It had a terrible battle system, the enchant system never worked for me, and the caves and whatnot were all so dark and scary.

Edit: Apparently he's known as Velius, not Lucavi. So now I'm confused as to what Lucavi is, exactly. I literally don't remember the story to this game at all, so perhaps it will be made clear later. Oh well.
Lucavi is basically Satan, and Velius is one incarnation from that one Zodiac stone that Wiegraf used. There's a different one for every stone I'm pretty sure.

DeusExMachina
07-30-2005, 11:34 PM
I finished the battle after that in one round as well. I love having Ramza as a monk with my abilities as two swords, sword grasp, walk-HP up, and Guts.

Lufia II is awesome, really underrated, and one of the best RPG's on the snes. And, as I've mentioned several times, it has the greatest "side" quest ever created. The ancient dungeon is 99 floors, with no savepoints in it at all. Also, when you enter it, you lose all equipment, and get moved to level 1. You can find equipment as you go through it, but most of that equipment you lose when you leave the dungeon. So, you progress through the dungeon, and get to very high levels as you go through the 99 floors, and try to get 9 extremely rare items that randomly appear in treasure chests. And, at the final floor, you fight one of the most frustrating bosses ever. Nowadays, with walkthroughs and emulators that allow you to save state, the dungeon has lost some of its glory. However, if you go through it without using walkthroughs and without saving state, it's the most rewarding experience ever. And also the most frustrating one.

Edit: Also, don't bother playing Lufia I first. It's technically the sequel to Lufia II, and not nearly as good.

MAthiAS
07-30-2005, 11:40 PM
I'll have to play it then... after finishing FFVI, FFIV, Chrono Trigger, and Phantasy Star 2 lol. Remind me sometime.

I always went Squire with Jump or Punch Art or Steal (depending on the battle), Two Swords, Blade Grasp, Move +3 or Teleport. That battle with Elmdor is easy if you aren't stealing, but I have never managed to steal both of Celia and Lede's accessories.

DeusExMachina
07-30-2005, 11:41 PM
I don't bother stealing. Don't know why, just never do.

MAthiAS
07-30-2005, 11:44 PM
One trick is to level up a bit, then when you face random human guys, steal their stuff. It'll be better than what you can buy, because your level corresponds to a later part of the game.

DeusExMachina
07-30-2005, 11:50 PM
Ahh... that's tricky. I'll try that out next play through. As is, I don't have any thieving skills learned, except for steal gil.

MAthiAS
07-30-2005, 11:55 PM
Ah, I always make it a project to get a good thief or two, just for those battles with Elmdor.

gitzplayer1021
07-31-2005, 12:01 AM
steal heart is pretty valuable in the beginning of the game if it works... but later on enemies just become immune to it... however, i am partial to Geomancers in that game for some reason.

DeusExMachina
07-31-2005, 12:03 AM
I've never used a geomancer. Or a bard. Or a Dancer. Or a mime. Or a calculator. Or a couple other classes. I don't know, I tend to keep it simple.

MAthiAS
07-31-2005, 12:09 AM
Never used Geomancer either, Bards and Dancers are good but I never really had a place for them. Calculators are AMAZING, most powerful job without a doubt. Can end a battle in one turn.

gitzplayer1021
07-31-2005, 12:10 AM
i still enjoy my magic users too though... Wizard with summoning magic, auto potion, short charge, and teleport = pwnage :thumb: ... in my opinion at least, i'm sure someone could come up with something like 10 times better... but to each their own.

EDIT: like a calculator...

Calculators are magic users, they just use everything cept summon magics, and can use those magics on everyone in the battle at once (or whatever you need really). With no charge either... So I go Summoner with Math Skill, so I can use Zodiac too. Plus Calculators are really slow, but one turn is really all you need with them hehe. Flare or Holy on everyone... beautiful thing. Oh, and Auto Potion, Magic Attack UP, and something else... don't remember...

I never got a mime, but you could go calculator with mime(s) for some real pwnage. Just add Orlandu and Ramza in too. gg.

Course sometimes I go the traditional route of Lancers and Monks... eh, its all fun. Someday I'll replay it using all the jobs I never use much, like Geomancer and Samurai.

DeusExMachina
07-31-2005, 12:22 AM
I want to do a solo character single job play sometime. I think that would be fun. It would have to be monk, I think.

MAthiAS
07-31-2005, 12:26 AM
Or Lancer later on, maybe. I like Lancers...

Would you be able to use support abilities and stuff from other jobs? I think I'd need Two Swords for some later battles.

DeusExMachina
07-31-2005, 12:27 AM
Mmm... possibly. I don't know yet. If you could, I'd go with calculator. If not, I'd probably go with monk, because that way I can heal myself, have range attacks, and very strong physical attacks.

MAthiAS
07-31-2005, 12:28 AM
Yeah, true. Calculator would be good, but it takes so damn long to get all the abilities.

I'd like to try Lancer, just keep jumping everyone. Over and over.

DeusExMachina
07-31-2005, 12:31 AM
Heh. My first play through the game, Ramza was a lancer from the end of chapter one until the end of the game.

What was everyone's fav cutscenes from the FF games?

FFIV-opening with the red wings rocked, when you turn paladin.
FFV-flying city
FFVI-opera scene, opening scene, ending scene, fighting kefka's soldiers in narshe, tons of others
FFVII-sephiroth and fire, opening
FFVIII-best opening ever, awesome ending, garden battles, this game had the best cutscenes imo.

Im too lazy to list others. :thumb:

Bad breath always owned me.

Bad breath has to be the most annoying attack in any FF game, not so much when it occurs later on. But when it happens on the first attack, without giving any of your characters time to prepare. :@

I had to reset so many times on FFX thanks to the Great Malboro.

MAthiAS
08-01-2005, 12:10 AM
Yeah they were really tough in VIII because there were no accessories.

Cutscenes:
VI - Anything with Kefka
VII - Opening, Aeris dying, Sephiroth and fire, Shinra cannon
VIII - Opening, going to Dollet, Garden battles, assassination attempt
IX - Airship ones, don't really remember many others
X - Opening I guess, this game had crappy cutscenese despite great graphics
X-2 - Meh, they were all good with Yuna

08-01-2005, 12:10 AM
i havent seen any of the FMVs from 4 to 6, but:

VII - seph and fire, or Aeris` death
VIII - Galbadian Garden`s raid on Balamb, with the bikers. Best.Movie.Ever.
IX - Vivi casting fire magic on Black mage
X - in mushroom rock, where the crusaders and the al bhed try to kill Sin but get their butts kicked.

FFVIII and X probably had the most annoying malboros, because in VII, you just needed a ribbon, and on IX, you just needed a ribbon i think, I don't really remeber m the malboros in FFIX

malboros in Omega Ruins always ambush you with a bad breath at the start, and that was probably one the most annoying thing ever. my whole party died when i encountered a malboro inside Sin. i killed Yevon and Jecht in one shot, but got killed by a malboro. wtf is that about :D

in 7, 8, 9 and 10, you can save at some near point to the boss, but in 4, you have to go through about 4 more floors, where you can encounter VERY strong enemies (thankfuly, no malboros :) ). and Zeromus itself is a very hard fight.

Zeromus was such a bastard. That battle was very very hard, definitely the hardest last boss in any FF game, and I'd say the hardest boss in FFIV period. Ugh. I just beat the game for the second time recently, took me forever to finish him off.

I thought it comes from heiress ?

Most of my friends are already on it, or likely to get it. So I can just bring them with me. :)

Plus with the amount of server matinence it seems to get, ill get a few chances to experience the outside world a bit.

Try to be horrible to Aeris. When you meet her don't buy a flower and when you see her again call her the slum drunk. I think it may also have something to do with who you use more in your parties.

MAthiAS
08-02-2005, 03:41 PM
Yeah, if you use Tifa instead of Aeris and talk to Aeris only when absolutely necessary and stuff like that. There's lots of opportunities, if you look for a dedicated Final Fantasy forum, people talk about all the places you alter the date.

Shadows
08-02-2005, 03:58 PM
I never use Aeris in my party, either. Probably because you're rarely forced to and she dies anyway so I don't waste time getting her stronger since she's only around for the first disc.

I've never gotten her limit breaks before either. Is Great Gospel any good?

I got it a few times. It's pretty cool but not that good. I'd onyl get it if you wanted to complete the game perfectly.
I think you get it from the sleeping guy in the cave and the last two digits on your number of battles have to be the same.

Shadows
08-02-2005, 04:18 PM
Yeah, if the last two digits are the same, he gives you mythril. Then I think you give the mythril to the lone weapons guy buy near the gold saucer and he gives you the level 4 manual.

Marle can be useful. In my opinion, the best party in that game is Crono, Frog, and Marle, because you can do anything with them. Mass healing, massive physical damage, massive magical damage, you name it. Also, in Lufia II, Maxim ends up going with one of the more powerful characters in the game.

I used Crono, Frog and Ayla. Ayla had the highest attack in the game once her fist evolved. 3D attack rocked my boxers.

Magus had some of the coolest attacks in ANY rpg. Dark Eternal was one of the coolest attacks ever. He had another "triangle" looking attack, I forgot what it was.

God I miss Chrono Trigger.

You know whats weird. I can never finish an rpg in rom format. I just doesnt have the same charm. Even though its near or 100% identical, its just not the same.

Theres only one game I've played and beaten rom format, and that was Terranigma because it was never released here in the states. :p

I'm the same way. Its the same with platform games too, but they're usually shorter so I'll finish them anyway. And unfortunately lots of action games are impossible to be good on ROMs... Which is why I can't ****in wait for the Revolution, I think I'll get it before I get the PS3.

Try some quests. Some simple things though. It will help in the long run and you'll be able to access more important quests like the gobbiebag ones (increases inventory size) which I'm on right now.

And lots of travel. One quest you could do is Brygid the Stylist. She's in Bastok Markets past the goldsmiths guild. She asks you to wear a robe and subligar (eww) in the quest. Really easy, as both of those are level 1 items.

Another one involves obtaining Zeruhn Soot. Just go into Zeruhn mines (not too far in) in Bastok Mines and fight until you obtain 3 and talk to Gerbaum (I think) outside the mines.

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I can help you travel around so you can see the other cities and some wonderful sights. Once you hit 20, I'll take you to Jeuno so you can get your chocobo. at that level, it's a really dangerous walk.
