The Black Mage Village (Final Fantasy)

[red barchetta]

yeah that what I do, but in IX, it splits up the characters for you. I think it was zidane and quina, steiner and vivi, dagger and eiko(??), and amarant and freya. I never used amarant, freya, eiko, or quina, so it was kinda hard beating one of the bosses at one of the shrines with amarant and freya.
the hell? you only fought a boss with Zidane and Quina only, and you did nothing with the other characters :confused: i was dissapointed with that part.

my Eiko was level 35 when i fought the last boss, whereas Zidane was lvl 89 :)

[IAJP]

Edit:
Hello all!

[MAthiAS]

Funny, I don't remember that at all. I need to play IX again.
I vaguely remember getting split up, I don't remember what the hell you did split up though. I just remember Zidane being pissed he got stuck with Quina :lol:

[Marzcho]

Has anyone beaten Ozma? (IX)

[red barchetta]

Has anyone beaten Ozma? (IX)
i say the path to Ozma (the chocobo sidequest) was harder than the fight. but i did level up A LOT before fighting Ozma though.

Has anyone beaten Penance on X WITHOUT Zanmato?

[MAthiAS]

I think everyone cept me has, of the regulars to this thread.

[DeusExMachina]

Has anyone beaten Penance on X WITHOUT Zanmato?
Well, Penance wasn't in the American release of X, but I have a friend who's obsessed with getting non-american versions of releases, and he beat Penance without Zanmato. Took him over an hour to finally take down all 12 million HP.

As for Ozma, I've beaten him/her/it.

Ozma can suck my left nut. I hated that battle. :thumb:

The path to Ultima weapon in FF8 was VERY VERY difficult when your levels were high. Those Ruby Dragons used to use Breathe on you and completely obliterate you. On top of that, no save points, you had to get really lucky and have Odin save you. :thumb:

[red barchetta]

people who say 'i rule at ff8 - all my characters are lvl 100 :cool:' are stupid.

[DeusExMachina]

Well, people who can honestly say "I rule at ff8 - I beat Ultima and Omega weapons without gaining a single level with any of my characters" are quite impressive. Especially since Omega weapon is always level 100, no matter what leve you are.

[red barchetta]

i beat omega weapon with my party's average level being around 25, but not gaining a single level throughout the game is awesome.

[Marzcho]

Well. Has anyone gained the Ultima weapon in IX?

[Mr. Ron]

Yeah, except D&D lasts forever. Good times.
I'm helping my freinds make their first character sheets monday. It will be awesome.

[MAthiAS]

i beat omega weapon with my party's average level being around 25, but not gaining a single level throughout the game is awesome.
How would one manage that?

[DeusExMachina]

How would one manage that?
Run from every random battle, and be incredibly awesome. There's a no leveling FAQ on gamefaqs.com, and the guy who wrote it managed to beat Omega weapon without leveling.

[gitzplayer1021]

also, how do you get limit breaks to "level up" in VII... i've played the game so many times, but never really figured out how that worked.

/is dumb :upset:

[Shadows]

I guess that would be very possible, since bosses don't give experience.

I never understood that. :mad: Even since FFVIII boss battles never gave your party any experience. What the hell?

[DeusExMachina]

They didn't give experience in VIII or IX, but you got experience for killing bosses in X. Or the equivalent of experience, at any rate.

[Shadows]

I hated the 'no experience for bosses' thing. It made no sense. I loved in VII where winning a boss battle would give tons of experience and usually a cool item (ie, WEAPON).

[MAthiAS]

I always thought that you got experience if you actually killed the boss, but you didn't if they ran away?

[Kingofdudes]

also, how do you get limit breaks to "level up" in VII... i've played the game so many times, but never really figured out how that worked.

/is dumb :upset:

To limit level up, a character has to kill a certain number of enemies.

[DeusExMachina]

I always thought that you got experience if you actually killed the boss, but you didn't if they ran away?
Which game are you referring to? You don't get any experience for killing bosses in VIII and IX, but you do in the rest, as far as I know/remember.

[MAthiAS]

I don't know really lol.

[DeusExMachina]

Everyone needs to play Lufia II, even if only for the ancient dungeon. I tried it in my current game just now, died on the 10th floor. Jesus, that thing is hard.

[I am a revenant]

To limit level up, a character has to kill a certain number of enemies.

Don't you need to use the Limit Break a certain amount of times and then it levels up?

[red barchetta]

Don't you need to use the Limit Break a certain amount of times and then it levels up?
theres two limit moves for one limit level.

you can get the second move of the limit level you're on by killing a certain number of enemies.

you can level up your limit level by using the limit moves of the level before, but you'll need to have both limit moves of the previois level. ie. you cant level up your limit without having both moves.

FF8 is the best of the final fantasy series. period.

I didn't really like FFVIII, to be honest. I just found it boring. Course, I didn't play much past the beginning of disc 2, so maybe it got a lot better later on, but from where I was, I found the game to be somewhat trite.

[loathed]

if you have a chance to, play through the 4 discs...really good storyline.

After the prison and missile base tasks and when Garden flies it gets better.

What level you stuck at? Levels 8-10 are horribly rough, with almost any job.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Near that, lvl 7, 500 exp tnl.

I keep trying to do Cid's blue tester mission, but too many goblins aggro, and im not finding a team too well. Ill probably spend the rest of the day trying to get up to the high parts of lvl 8.

So much walking though to get to good killing grounds. They shou;d have a chocobo hitch hiking option

I had an alternate character on another server, started in Bastok, I think I remember that quest. Isn't it the one where you go on the spring that shoots you up?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Probably, lots of springs around, but I dont have a map for that place, and negotiating it while avoiding goblin mobs is tricky.

Another thing im finding is the distinct lack of BLM equipment around, most of Bastok shops dont sell any.

[Lord Abortion]

FF8 is the best of the final fantasy series. period.

wonderful storyline...
I kind of agree, I love them all that I have played, not most of the ones below 7 because of my crappiness with getting good roms, that have english in them, I can't do japenese versions :p

limits on 7 are explained well on gamefaqs

[Happy]

Don't you need to use the Limit Break a certain amount of times and then it levels up?
Normally it alternates, use the limit a certain times to get the next limit then after that kill a certain number of enemies to unlock the next and that repeats over and over until limit 3:2.

[Shadows]

To unlock the second limit of a level: Use the first one of that level a certain number of times. The number varies depending on what character and what limit.

To unlock the first limit of the next level: kill a certain number of enemies. Once again, that number depends on the character and the limit. It can be as low as 60 for characters like Aeris, but can be as high as 200 for Cloud.

[MAthiAS]

err,...ff9 the best? ...youre kidding right? please tell me you are...for your own sake...please say you are...
You're slow.

On FFVIII... there's no way its as good as VII, but I loved the story. Its an excellent game the whole way through IMO.

Really? I remeber having to fight a boss at each of the shrines :confused:
Maybe it was just the battle with quina and zidane that was hard for me because I never used quina.

I'ved played through FFVI at least once every year (sometimes up to 4 or 5 times in a year) since I first played it, when I was six. This year, however, I haven't played it yet. So, that's somewhere between 20 and 40 times, I honestly can't tell you for sure.

Man thanks to you guys, I brought out my SNES and I'm about to fire up FF3/6.

awsome, i pretty much do the same thing, also with VIII and sometimes IV. However, the last time i tired to play through VIII my PSone kept stopping on the third disc, like, it would start to load a new area and nothing would happen, the music would still be on and sometimes the area would eventually come up, but it was too much of a hassle. I doubt its the disc though, i mean, there are very few scratches (maybe one of them is 'fatal'), so i'm thinking its the lens, though this has never happend before.

besides, VII owns VIII in every way, so until i figure out why VIII won't work, i guess i'll play through VII again

There are 44 characters in that game that you can get, but it takes at least 3 play throughs (maybe 4) to be able to get all of them, because there are sections where you have to pick between different characters.

Also, Kid may look like Marle, but wait until you figure out the actual story behind her. It is quite the plot twist. I found it very satisfying, it answered a question I'd had for a long time.

At first I didn't think i would use him, but I used a couple time in battle and he levels up fast! Every 2 hits he levels up, plus with Extra JP or whatever the abilitiy is called, he is getting strong fast. It's gay that he can't equip a shield though :upset:

Orlandu is ridiculous. The game might as well be over when you get him, at least in terms of difficulty. Unless you're soloing the game (w00t!) in which case it's still hard, especially when fighting Elmdor's assassins, who have auto-kill and auto-stop abilities.

My Ramza is either a monk with guts, or a Squire with punch art, depending on what the situation calls for.

To Mathias, yes, it is quite difficult. But, once you get the hang of it, a lot of battles aren't too bad. There are just some battles that take many many hours to complete.

No point in using a PS1 emulator if you have a PS2. They still play all the old FF games.

Only good emulators = SNES ones. :cool:

My Ramza is either a monk with guts, or a Squire with punch art, depending on what the situation calls for.

To Mathias, yes, it is quite difficult. But, once you get the hang of it, a lot of battles aren't too bad. There are just some battles that take many many hours to complete.


did you get ultima for ramza?

Is it good?

[Shadows]

I've gotten Ultima for Ramza. It kind of sucks. :upset:

It's great if you can charge up and hit a guy with high faith, but other than that it does too much less then any other physical attack.

Please complain in a more relevant area, and then realise you shouldnt complain at all.

I didn't get Ultima, although I regret that now. I completely forgot about it. It's a decent spell, but not really necessary. It's just nice for some range damage to multiple enemies. However, with punch art, wave fist and earth slash make up for not having Ultima.

[FlyingPaul_83]

[DeusExMachina]

You might want to change that font color so that it blends into the background and must be highlighted to be read, so that people who haven't beaten Chrono Trigger don't see it if they don't want to.

And I agree, that was a big shock for me to.

Yeah I know, it really hit me hard. Theres only 2 recent games that have given me a shock like that and it was Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia. :thumb:

Chrono Cross has a crazy plot twist, but Trigger had one of the best. :thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

You should play Lufia II, it has some pretty interesting plot stuff, especially later in the game.

[Shadows]

Even though I love Final Fantasy, I think Chrono Trigger rivals - maybe even tops - any Final Fantasy ever created. The storyline, gamepley, and battle system were all flawless and beautifully made.

So are they remaking FF7?

[DeusExMachina]

Possibly. I don't think we really know, at this point. They have officially said they won't, but that doesn't mean they aren't just keeping it hidden, and someone in this thread said they have a friend or relative who works for Square who says it will happen, so it might. We'll find out soon enough.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... :evil: 8! :naughty:

6 would benefit more. 8 had pretty good graphics.

[red barchetta]

you cant really change 8 that much.

whereas with 6, you can replace the old-skool SNES music with real orchestral music and make the graphics better. change nothing else, and then you'll have the ultimate Final Fantasy.

ISO's are the equivalent of roms for PSX emulators, they're kind of a hassle and very large, but I can make them.

[gitzplayer1021]

That would be awesome......my favorite of the series. Nobody seems to agree with me tho.

VIII is my favorite too (hence the avatar...) and i think a remake would be wonderful... but all they would really change is the graphics, because the story held up really well IMO... maybe add a few extra bosses or something.

[Happy]

True, i don't see much to change in FFVIII other than the graphics. A few side-quests could be added here and there though.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

What I would love to see in a FF game is one where you really have full control over your character's development and fate. So far, every character has gone along in a linear plot where your character will either be a moany emo dude, or some Schizophrenic bad hair guy.

I want the choice to make mine an arsehole, or a womanizer :) But you get the idea

[MAthiAS]

What game do you think had the best world map? I say VII, it seems its got the most detail and stuff to me.

[Happy]

VII's. The map on X could've been good if it had let you explore it.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah I hope there's a real map in XII

[Happy]

When's XII due for release?

[MAthiAS]

Don't know. Google?

[FlyingPaul_83]

VII followed by IX

[Adam Jones is GOD]

What game do you think had the best world map? I say VII, it seems its got the most detail and stuff to me.

XI :p

Apart from that, FF7

[Shadows]

VII. The mini map in X made the game way too linear and easy to follow. I like a game where you check around every corner to see if you miss anything.

[Happy]

Don't know. Google?
Says late 2006 for America so probably early/mid 2007 for Europe.

I really liked Legend of Dragoon. I thought it was an interesting battle system, and a good story.

[MAthiAS]

I remember playing a demo of it, I didn't like it all that much.

Legend of Legaia... that was a great game.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I've heard good things about it. Doesn't it have a really good abttle system or something?

[MAthiAS]

Yeah. Its actually like a modification of Sabin's blitz.

[FlyingPaul_83]

The Controller I bought for My computer, the control pad sucks, so whenever i type in the arrows for sabins blitz, It never works :upset:. One of the many reasons why i want to get FF anthology.

Spoilers:






So, I just killed dycedarg on tactics, am I close to the end?







end spoilers

[DeusExMachina]

You're getting relatively close. Not super close, but not too far.

That fight took me forever, but when I finally beat it, I did it in one turn. I had two swords, and did 999 damage with both hits.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'm training cloud right now, So I probably won't beat it for awhile, with school and homework :upset:.

I would say he's super close. He has hardly anything left to do - unless he chooses to do the side quests, which would increase the game length considerably.

[DeusExMachina]

Well, I just finished Dycedarg recently, and haven't played since. So, I don't really remember how much is left in the game, but I recall it being somewhat longer.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I would say he's super close. He has hardly anything left to do - unless he chooses to do the side quests, which would increase the game length considerably.


What other sidequests are ther besides getting cloud and the propostition things.

[Shadows]

What other sidequests are ther besides getting cloud and the propostition things.
You could get the final Zodiac Stone, which, along the way, would give you cool characters like Beowulf, Worker 8, and Reise.

And then of course the biggest one of all - the Deep Dungeon.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I have all those characters

what is the deep dungeon?

[DeusExMachina]

The deep dungeon is a rather difficult dungeon. Go to... I want to say warjilas trade city, but not positive. There, you'll automatically see a scene with people talking about it. Then, the path will appear to the deep dungeon. It's pitch black, so you see no scenery, just your party and the enemies. Also, you need to to find exits to the next floor, which are located on specific squares which are decided randomly. If you don't get to an exit before killing all the enemies, you have to start that battle all over. You can get some really good equipment there, plus get the 13th zodiac stone and learn Zodiac, the best summon in the game.

Sorry to change the subject, but im just wondering, im currently downloading FF7 from torrents, is there any way to configure it so i can use a pad/controller you think?. Remember i know bollocks about computers.

It's a file sharing/downloading program.

Yeah, the trains were a nice touch. But I think the locations and stuff in VII were better. There were more geographical stuffs, and more hidden places.

I'd live in Esthar, Deling City, Cosmo Canyon, Dagguero, or Treno. They just struck me as the coolest. Esthar was futuristic and huge, Deling seems like a neat place with interesting people, Cosmo Canyon had an awesome landscape, and the other two same as Deling.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'd Live in The FFVIII world and Travel Around all the time.
