The Black Mage Village (Final Fantasy)

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

True, but Odin is pwnage.


indeed...he has to be my favorite summon, next to bahamut zero.

has anyone played the super mario RPG?
if so, i know you noticed the final fantasy references and that boss. You know, the one with the crystals, the FF4 boss music and fanfare?


EDIT: i didn't notice this stuff until way later when i realized square had made it and then i played it again.

[Chrysostom]

best summon: Odin from FF7.
worst summon: The chocobo one from FF7.

[IAJP]

It felt so good to pound them into dust.

[Brew]

Zorn & Thorn were ****ing gay.


They were amusing yet annoying.

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

Doomtrain was nice from FF8, if you got him.

Every status effect, hoo hah! And he worked on bosses too!

[Echleon]

It felt so good to pound them into dust.

[Chrysostom]

They were amusing yet annoying.

They weren't amusing at all. They were very annoying though.

[Echleon]

I remember when my FFVII disc 3 was seriously screwed up. It froze everytime at the scene where Tifa and Cloud are outside the airship. It was unbelieveably annoying. I had to borrow my friends disc 3. Lol.

I remember having the rom the FFIV, i got stuck on this boss somewhere...

[IAJP]

I just realised, the Brothers GF from FF8 was awesome.
This page is good: http://www.ffquest.com/ff8guardian.html

[Brew]

Brothers weren't that great.

They were annoying to fight and get though.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Carbuncle was cool in 8, from a cute perspective. i want one as a pet.

And Diablos was the most useful one in 8 for a change

[Echleon]

I thought it was great in FFIX when Alexandria turned into the Alexander. That was such a cool twist.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I thought it was great in FFIX when Alexandria turned into the Alexander. That was such a cool twist.

not to mention a cool FMV. Rarely does bahmunt get so badly owned.

Still, biggest summon owning = Odin in 8. Seifer's only cool moment

[IAJP]

That was awesome.
Does anyone know the secret of the Eidelon wall on FF9?
I'll tell anyone if they're interested...

Its been 3 years now. Mind is blank. though I cna still picture that wall, and the FMV for that place

Remind me

[Echleon]

Still, biggest summon owning = Odin in 8. Seifer's only cool moment

I can vaugely remember that moment, i remember that it was damn cool though.

Still, opening FMV in FFVIII = Pwnage.

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

actually, that has to be the best in-game FMV i've ever seen, such an awsome battle between awsome, summons (eidolons, gfs, what have you)

[IAJP]

You have to have Eiko in your party, and not Dagger or Armarant.
Go to Maidan Sari (Only when the mist is around) and you talk to Lani.
She says "There's some writing in that cupboard over there" (where you got the memory earing) It says something, so you go to the Eidelon wall and walk round a certain number of times, after this you're able to view all of the Eidelons and their messages, it finnishes off a cool story point too :cool:

bloody hell! (pun intended)

as for the Odin in 8...i don't even remeber that. Besides, my 3rd disc on 8 is messed up, there's a 50% chance it'll freeze up when i move to a new area and it tires to load it.

[Echleon]

Can someone explain what happens in that FMV to me, i cant really remember

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

for the FF8 opening?

thats when seifer's fighing squall and stuff happens, and Seifer slashes squalls face hardcore, blood everywhere. when i first saw it i was appalled and amazed (I had never seen such a thing on an rpg)

[Echleon]

No sorry, ofcourse i can remember that bit! Its legendary.
I meant the scene when Seifer summons Odin, everyone is saying it's great, but i cant really remember what happens in it.

[Brew]

My disc 1 for FFVIII is buggered and it freezes about 5 seconds into the intro.

SPOLIER-ISH






























Yeah, like anyone here has to worry about spoilers now :p

But during the fight with Seifer in Lunatic Pandora, Odin appears at the start (if you got him in that place-where-you-get-him). Seifer waits for him to charge with his instant kill attack, then just simply slices Odin in half in Odin's style.

But then, later in the battle, Odin's replacemement (name?) appears and smites Seifer down

[Echleon]

My disc 1 for FFVIII is buggered and it freezes about 5 seconds into the intro.

Same with my disc 1 for FFIX. The opening FMV freezes every 5 seconds and had no sound :(
And after the FMV where you escape from evil forest, it just went black and nothing happened :(

[Echleon]

Ahhhh now i remember!

Well guys, im off to bed. Got a guitar lesson tommorrow at 9am, and if my alarm screws me over again, im ****ed

oh yeah, now i remember, and then Odin's summon becomes Gilgamesh? Now it all comes back

Mine did that once, I was scared that I wouldn't be able to proceed :(

[Drall]

Yeah, it's happened to me with FFIX. For example, it froze a couple of times during one of the FMV sequences in the third disc. It's not much of a problem, I guess, but it does get kind of annoying.

[Kwash2]

I have FFVII, but I can't get it to work, so I borrowed my friends, and his doesn't work in my PS2 either.

I heard that maybe I can get the laser reader thingy upgraded so it doesn't suck as bad.

[Brew]

My Ps2 seems to dislike FFVII, it works 99% of the time though.

Infact...I'm off to go and play VII now...

:wave:

[Echleon]

Bye bye.

Well, im quite annoyed now because i got up at 8:45 this morning to go to my guitar lesson. On arrival, i discovered the lesson was tommorrow :upset:

So, i might go play FFIX in a min.

[Brew]

I'm at Rocket Town, the Materia Keeper pwned me the first time I tried to beat him :(

All my characters are levelling up at pretty much the same time (Cloud, Barret and Vincent), I've got everyone on lvl 27 I think.

[Kwash2]

The freaking materia keeper owned you?!

Don't let vincent limit break, in case you haven't figured that out, his Beast Flare just heals it.

[Echleon]

Materia Keeper pwnd me many a time.

[supra_speed]

I think i wil d/l ff7. want to regain my strength with sephiroth

[Echleon]

I remember my friend had the Xplorer cheat card where you could be Sephiroth, it was baddass.

[I am a revenant]

My disc 1 for FFVIII is buggered and it freezes about 5 seconds into the intro.

That's what mine did, i had a demo disc which would load a save game onto your memory card and that would start you on the second disc during the Laguna story.
On VII ive just recovered Cloud after the Mako poisoning and im trying to get Yuffie (i forgot to get her) she just wont show up. I messed up twice and she ran away with my money.

The first time i bought VII i had an Xplorer so i put the cheat in to allow you to have Sephiroth on your team, but when you talk to someone and the whole party comes out Sephiroth doesn't so the game just freezes. I had him saved on my game too, so i got so annoyed i sold the Xplorer.

[supra_speed]

I remember my friend had the Xplorer cheat card where you could be Sephiroth, it was baddass.
wo------------>w *amazement*

[Echleon]

Ughhh, it was a bitch when Cloud got Mako poisoned. I only ever bothered to train up Red XIII and Cid in preperation.

Did any of you guys ever beat Ruby or Emerald.

I never managed to do it :(

[I am a revenant]

I beat Ruby i think but i never got the Underwater materia so i couldn't really take on Emerald Weapon...that'll all be different this time around.
When you have to fight Ultima weapon in Mideel was ok for me because Barret and Red XIII were already pretty strong.

What were everyone's parties in whatever FF games?
For me it was :
VII- Cloud, Red XIII, Cid
VIII-Squall, Zell and Rinoa
IX-Zidane, Amarant, Vivi, Garnet
X- Tidus, Yuna, Auron

[Echleon]

wo------------>w *amazement*

Yeah, i thought it rocked too.

(Untill it continously froze when you were going down the lift in Mako Reactor No.1) :(

[Brew]

I remember my friend had the Xplorer cheat card where you could be Sephiroth, it was baddass.

That was fun for awhile.

Teams:

VII - Cloud, Cid, Vincent
VIII - Squall, Zell, Irvine
IX - Zidane, Steiner, Vivi, Dagger
X - Tidus, Auron, Wakka

[Liberi Fatali]

My teams:

I'm currently replaying IX, and am just about to go to Terra on disc 3. :)

[Chrysostom]

Teams:

FF7 - Cloud, Tifa and Barret
FF8 - Squall, Rinoa and Irvine.
FF9 - Zidane, Dagger and Vivi.

On a related note. I'm starting FF9 again, it's a great game and I never actually completed the first time I played it.

[Chrysostom]

The freaking materia keeper owned you?!

Don't let vincent limit break, in case you haven't figured that out, his Beast Flare just heals it.

Hey! An Irvine fan! Good lad! :thumb:

VIII - Squall, Zell, Quistis
IX - Zidane, Freya, Steiner, Quina
X - Auron, Yuna, Lulu

and...

VI - Terra, Celes, Locke, Edgar

[Chrysostom]

I never bought FFX. I saw it at a friend's house. It didn't capture my attention in the same way as FFVII did. Plus the lack of a world map put me right off. I doubt I'll ever buy it. Or XI for that matter. The series peaked at FFVII I think.

[Brew]

The freaking materia keeper owned you?!

Don't let vincent limit break, in case you haven't figured that out, his Beast Flare just heals it.
Hehe, true.

I had Vincent with his limit bar flashing, it really sucked when he had little to no MP left rendering him unable to cast Ice2 and unable to use normal attacks.

I think I finished him off with a Climhazzard from Cloud :cool:

[Brew]

Y'know that website that was posted which linked you to FF mp3's?

I found the video/fmv page and I'm currently downloading the intro video to FFVIII, seeing as I can't watch it on my Ps2 :)

[Dan 1616]

oh cool, i might need to d/l that too. i never bother looking at the other stuff - i only wanted the 2nd black mages album cos my computer won't let me save the tracks from CD.

[Brew]

The file was 89mb, it took 14mins to download for me.

[red barchetta]

The file was 89mb, it took 14mins to download for me.
is the quality good?

[Brew]

Yeh, not quite as good as on the Playstation discs but its fine to watch.

[Chrysostom]

Does anyone know when FF7: Advent Children is due out? It's this year supposedly, but does anyone know anything more?

[Brew]

I have no idea....isn't it being released on the PSP or something crazy like that?

[Chrysostom]

I have no idea....isn't it being released on the PSP or something crazy like that?

All I've heard is it's out this year as a DVD.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

FF7: Cloud, Red XIII, Vincent (finally got him)

FF8: Squall, Irvine, Zell

FF9: Never played, wasting space.

FF10: Tidus, Yuna, Auron

Plus they have their ultimate weapons.

My FFX team = pwn.

[Brew]

All I've heard is it's out this year as a DVD.

Cool, from what I've seen it looks pretty good.

[IAJP]

My parties for the FF games I play:
FF7:
Cloud-The summoner,
Barret-The Healer,
Cid-The magician.

FF8:
Squall,
Zell,
Irvine.

FF9:
Zidane,
Steiner,
Armarant,

I'm currently replaying IX, and am just about to go to Terra on disc 3. :)
Terra is a cool place, it's a shame what happens to it, I'd like to be able to go back there and explore.
Plus, Garland is probbably the coolest bad guy ever :cool:

[red barchetta]

All I've heard is it's out this year as a DVD.
is that out in japan this year or out worldwide this year?

either way, i can't wait for it!!!!!

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I tried to rotate my teams as much as possible. Then there was FF - X which was ridiculous, as all my chars made it to max lvl/stats. Yuna did as much damage as Auron by the end.

[diego182]

ff7- cloud, cid, vincent
ff8- squall, zell, rinoa

[Echleon]

VII- Cloud, Red XIII, Cid
VIII-Squall, Zell and Irvine
IX-Zidane, Steiner, Vivi, Dagger
X- Tidus, Yuna, Auron


Im in Lindblum on IX now. About to start the Festival of the Hunt.

Im concentrating on Tetra Master quite alot this time, im aiming to get all the cards.

I think this time i'm going to use Amarant insted of Steiner though.

[Chrysostom]

is that out in japan this year or out worldwide this year?

Worldwide I assume. Apparently Square-Enix is currrently discussing the release date, according to adventchildren.net.

[Echleon]

Was FFIII a decent game?

It's been announced for the DS which interests me seeing I have one.

/Researches

[p3ss1m1st]

Ughhh, it was a bitch when Cloud got Mako poisoned. I only ever bothered to train up Red XIII and Cid in preperation.

Did any of you guys ever beat Ruby or Emerald.

I never managed to do it :(
I beat Emerald badly, so I haven't bothered with Ruby. Had three Mimes equipped, Cloud having W-Summon, Knight of the Round linked with HP Absorb, and Red with Final Attack-Phoenix. I casted it fourteen times, with Emerald only getting three single hits of 4000 off. Absorbed 9000 HP every cast, which were two in a row, so I was set.

And it seems like lots of people use the Cloud, Red, Cid party.

Also, I renamed Cait Sith "Worthless" for a reason...

[Echleon]

I never really took advantage of the Materia system in FFVIII.

I was so young when I played it, I didnt understand it too well.

But now i do :thumb:

[Chrysostom]

Also, I renamed Cait Sith "Worthless" for a reason...

:lol: :thumb:

[Echleon]

Cait Sith has to be the most pointless character ever!

What a waste of a perfectly good Character position.

[Chrysostom]

But now i do :thumb:

I must say I really like the abilities system in FF9. I like the idea that each character has specific skills that only they can learn.

[p3ss1m1st]

:lol: :thumb:
It was great when they were all crying about "him" after the temple.

I forgot to call Vincent "Angst."

[I am a revenant]

Also, I renamed Cait Sith "Worthless" for a reason...

Good call. On VII I'm currently in Midgar after beating Diamond weapon and some very nice cut scenes.

[Chrysostom]

It was great when they were all crying about "him" after the temple.

I forgot to call Vincent "Angst."

Yeah it was funny to think they were crying about such a lame character. I was disappointed to see him return immediately.

So do you name the characters after their dominant character triats then?

[Echleon]

I tend to keep all my Character names as the originals.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

OFF TOPIC: On Golden Sun, I named my character "****" and the first lines were "****! GET UP!"

[I am a revenant]

[p3ss1m1st]

So do you name the characters after their dominant character triats then?
For the most part. I can only remember "Badass" and theif, which weren't nearly as entertaining. And for some reason I felt like calling Cid by Samneric...

[Chrysostom]

Same here.

[Chrysostom]

For the most part. I can only remember "Badass" and theif, which weren't nearly as entertaining. And for some reason I felt like calling Cid by Samneric...

Who was "Badass"? Barret?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Someone's been reading Lord of the Flies too much...

Samneric though? Damn.

[xizoesira]

Back when I was 13 or thereabouts and words like "Dildo" were still funny, I named Squall's ring-lion thing 'Dildo'. To my surprise, when that final boss woman summoned the guy, she shouts 'Dildo, make them bleed!'.

Fun times.

[IAJP]

Cait Sith has to be the most pointless character ever!

What a waste of a perfectly good Character position.
I liked him, he was fairly powerful, had a lot of HP, and had some of the coolest Limit Breaks ever.
(I'll post them later)

OFF TOPIC: On Golden Sun, I named my character "****" and the first lines were "****! GET UP!"
Haha, so Imature, yet so good, the only character I re-named was Red, I named him Vincent, which was weird as there was a character called Vincent, whose name is now Alphonso.

[Echleon]

Just got back from work.

How do you think FFVIII could of been improved to be made a better game?

I think it would of been a very good game if the Magic (Draw) system wasn't so ****, and the storyline didn't primarily revolve around Squall and Rinoa's relationship.

[IAJP]

In my opinion, there are numerous ways in which it could be bettered.

#1: If they made it a tad easier, the spaceship part was laughable.
#2: Character development, I mean, honestly, who the **** cares about Squall and Rinoa's relationship? I knew I wanted some more development in Zell and maybe Irvine.
#3: The weapon system, and how you learnt new skill.s What the hell was that about!?
#4: Limit breaks, one word "Bollocks".
#5: Storyline, sure, it was decent enough, but to be honest, FF9 and FF7 pissed all over it.
#6: Transportation, The airships were cool, but I hate the whole ethic of "Running out of fuel" when you're in your car, it's annoying and unneccesary.
#7: Music, I know it's not very important, but there was one stand out piece of music, the world map theme.
#8: Some graphics, allthough this could be said about numerous other FF games, were slightly patchy, don't get me wrong, they were decent enough, but they could have been a lot better.
#9: Ammount of characters you could obtain, compared to the likes of FF6 the characters available were poor, and generally boring.
#10: Lack of adventure early on in the game, it's ok I suppose, but could be miles better.
#11: The opening sequence (Not the FMV), were you're in Balamb and SeeD, man was this crap?!

Some may think I'm going over the top, but I'm not.
I genuinely didn't like this game, so much I stopped playing it altogether when I was in space.

Yeah, i agree with all of the points that you made there.

The space bit has to be one of the worst FF bits ever. It was so damn boring and wasn't really needed in the story.

[IAJP]

O.K so here's Cait Sith's interesting and cool limit breaks:
Cait Sith
1,Lucky Dice:Throws two to six dice, totals added up, multiplied by 100,200, 300, or 400, and enemy takes that much damage.
2,Toy Box:Item at random dropped from toy box onto a single foe.
3, Toy Soldiers:Small army of toy soldiers attack all enemies for fairly heavy damage.
4, Mog Dance:Entire party refilled to HP and MP max
5, Lucky Gal:All regular attacks will be critical hits for the rest of the battle.
6, Random Summon Spell:One summon spell automatically cast, costs no MP
7,Combine Three Cait Siths: All three party members jump into Cait Sith's suit and create mega-character whose HP is equal to HP total of all three members added together. Attacks do a lot of damage
8,All Over Cait Sith's face: All enemies are killed regardless of whether or not they can resist instant death
9, Joker Death Left:right-hand slot is Bar All party members die instantly. Can't be prevented.

Pretty cool eh?

[MalcolmYoungRock]

http://www.ffhybrid.net/mp3/ff7_ost.php

The FF9 one is better, in my opinion.
It's up to you, don't EVER get the FF8 one, unless it's the world map one.

And yeah, Joker Death was a sucky limit break, it was a cool novelty thing though.

What I really never understood about FF7 was the optional characters, Vincent, Yuffie and Cid all had more storyline significance than Cait Sith who was a character you had to choose :confused:

[p3ss1m1st]

Who was "Badass"? Barret?
Of course.

And they just needed someone to fill in for "Shinra spy." They didn't really care if the character was good or not. I hate the stupid thing. Who the hell fights with a megaphone?

And Cid's not optional, is he?

[IAJP]

He was yeah, and ironically..he's the best character in the game.

[p3ss1m1st]

Next to Cloud and his Omnislash. I only managed to beat the Battle Arena reliably by Miming that over and over, since I forgot to get Ribbon the last time playing.

[IAJP]

Did you ever get the KOTR summon materia?
If you have mime equiped you can take Sepiroth out without even a scratch.

[p3ss1m1st]

I beat Emerald badly, so I haven't bothered with Ruby. Had three Mimes equipped, Cloud having W-Summon, Knight of the Round linked with HP Absorb, and Red with Final Attack-Phoenix. I casted it fourteen times, with Emerald only getting three single hits of 4000 off. Absorbed 9000 HP every cast, which were two in a row, so I was set.
Yep.

Oh, and level 3, as well.

[IAJP]

Hmm, Emerald and Ruby weapon have over 1,000,000 HP I heard somewhere, is that true?
Otherwise, good tactics.

[Chrysostom]

I attempted the weapons and failed miserably.

[IAJP]

I found Emerald a lot easier, even though they were virtually exactly the same.

[p3ss1m1st]

Hmm, Emerald and Ruby weapon have over 1,000,000 HP I heard somewhere, is that true?
Otherwise, good tactics.
Considering each hit did 8500 points of damage or so, there are 13 Knights, and I cast it at least 14 times (I stopped watching after the second), it's safe to say Emerald has well over 1,000,000. Ruby, I don't care enough to try.

And if you do try, keep in mind you get 50,000 Exp and Ap for beating Emerald. For some reason I thought you didn't get any, so I used final weapons for Red and Cloud, Cid, too, I think. Lost a lot of leveling for some materia. But you do get Master Magic, Summon, and Command from Emerald. Sweet.

[Mister_Che]

In my opinion, there are numerous ways in which it could be bettered.

#1: If they made it a tad easier, the spaceship part was laughable.

I don't understand. You mean harder? If so, take on Omega

#2: Character development, I mean, honestly, who the **** cares about Squall and Rinoa's relationship? I knew I wanted some more development in Zell and maybe Irvine.

I liked the story, development in other characters would've been nice as well, but seeing Squall change wasn't bad.

#3: The weapon system, and how you learnt new skill.s What the hell was that about!?

I'll agree with this one.

#4: Limit breaks, one word "Bollocks".

So, Renzokuken, Duel, and Angel Wing (If you know how to use it right...) were crap?

#5: Storyline, sure, it was decent enough, but to be honest, FF9 and FF7 pissed all over it.

Story is down to preference, but I didn't think 7 and 9's stories "pissed" all over it.

#6: Transportation, The airships were cool, but I hate the whole ethic of "Running out of fuel" when you're in your car, it's annoying and unneccesary.

You hardly need to use the cars anyway. I don't know what to tell you if you actually used them to get from town to town.

#7: Music, I know it's not very important, but there was one stand out piece of music, the world map theme.

Thats it? You didn't even like the boss theme? I think 8 displayed some of Nobuo Uematsu's best work.

#8: Some graphics, allthough this could be said about numerous other FF games, were slightly patchy, don't get me wrong, they were decent enough, but they could have been a lot better.

I think you might be forgetting when this game was released.

#9: Ammount of characters you could obtain, compared to the likes of FF6 the characters available were poor, and generally boring.

Well there aren't 44 like in Chrono Cross.

#10: Lack of adventure early on in the game, it's ok I suppose, but could be miles better.

The Dollet Invasion is pretty early on. I wouldn't say that that was a lack of adventure.

#11: The opening sequence (Not the FMV), were you're in Balamb and SeeD, man was this crap?!

I think you'll find that many people see FFVIII's opening as one of the best openings in FF history.

Some may think I'm going over the top, but I'm not.
I genuinely didn't like this game, so much I stopped playing it altogether when I was in space.

Personal preference I guess.

[Kwash2]

I never really took advantage of the Materia system in FFVIII.

I was so young when I played it, I didnt understand it too well.

But now i do :thumb:
Same, I was like 10 when my brother shoved FFVII into my hands, and said it was too boring for him to play.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I attempted the weapons and failed miserably.


Same here, the only secret hard boss i've ever beaten is Ozma from FF9(who isn't even really that hard)

[Kingofdudes]

I wish I had the time to start a new FFIX file :-/

[ibanezsucks04]

ha has anyone else heard that you can get sephiroth in final fantasy 7? That's stupid, but man if you could control sephiroth that'd be bad ***.

[Kwash2]

Yes, you can. With a gameshark.

Anyhoo, 8500 x 13 x 14 = 1,547,000.

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

Does anyone remember on FFIX, when you win the Festival of the Hunt, Zidane tells Vivi he can go on the date promised to him? Why did none of that ever happen, i was kinda hoping for a humorous vivi ****up again.

[ibanezsucks04]

Yes, you can. With a gameshark.

Anyhoo, 8500 x 13 x 14 = 1,547,000.
what get sephiroth?

[Kwash2]

what get sephiroth?
No, get a brownie.

[FlyingPaul_83]

ha ha. that only took you two hours

[Kwash2]

No, I just never check this thread.

God.

[I am a revenant]

Same, I was like 10 when my brother shoved FFVII into my hands, and said it was too boring for him to play.

Ha, i think i started VII when i was about 10. I missed quite a lot in the storyline..but i'm picking up on it all now, on my 3rd time through the game, it's been a few years since i last played it.

[supra_speed]

Great minds think alike.......and you are definately not one of them. lol jks. I remember but as if they had the time or the thought for it.

[Lionheart1827]

I think you'll find that many people see FFVIII's opening as one of the best openings in FF history.

Definately the best Final Fantasy intro ever. The game had probably the coolest cutscenes I've ever seen. Can you say, Garden Battle? That whole sequence was amazing. The ending was awesome too. Final Fantasy 3/6's ending was better, but it was very good.

FF8 is my 2nd favorite FF next to FF3/6. FF7 is way overrated imo, still good though. I'm just worried about the direction FF is going now. In the wake of FFX-2 and FF online(not a fan of mmorpgs), along with the fact that FF12's battle system isnt going to be turn based anymore, it makes me wonder, wtf are they doing to the FF series? Hopefully FF12 can rekindle it, but it looks like the main character, once again is going to be even girlier. First it was Tidus' whiny bitch voice, now we have an even girlier looking guy coming in. What happened to the badass characters like Cecil, Sabin, Edgar, Cyan, Cloud, Barrett? :upset:

[daveblinkkid]

Final Fantasy is one of the best games ever. I play FFXI online on my comp. It takes up so much space on it. FF is one of my favorites!

[Adam Jones is GOD]

VII- Cloud, Red XIII, Cid
VIII-Squall, Zell and Irvine
IX-Zidane, Steiner, Vivi, Dagger
X- Tidus, Yuna, Auron


Im in Lindblum on IX now. About to start the Festival of the Hunt.

Im concentrating on Tetra Master quite alot this time, im aiming to get all the cards.

I think this time i'm going to use Amarant insted of Steiner though.

I was a card short when I tried it. it was one of the super rare mini cartoonish cards

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Thats it? You didn't even like the boss theme? I think 8 displayed some of Nobuo Uematsu's best work.


Man With The Machine Gun is an awesome piece. The music during most of the FMVs though was bad.

I still stand by 8 being the worst, but I pick out more and more good points each time I think back to it

[IAJP]

I don't understand. You mean harder? If so, take on Omega

It could be a personal favourite of yours, it's not one of mine though, I didn't find it exciting, and maybe I was looking for extra stuff on the game to pick up on, but all of those were honestly my opinions of the game.

[Mine]

I can't wait for FF12... I think they should have released a non-online version of FF11, since not every FF fan can afford the online one... :upset:

You said this a while ago, but I agree with it all. :thumb:

[Otherside]

An offline version of FFXI wouldn't work. Believe me. It would be beyond boring...

[p3ss1m1st]

I wouldn't mind them having a slightly more complex battle system, as long as they keep some strange element to leveling, either materia, skills from IX and the early ones, and not so much the Junction system. Maybe I should give the Junction another try...

But yeah, Grandia II's battle system is by far the best I've ever played. The turn-based mixed with real-time gave it a lot more depth.

And I hope they're not pandering to the new whiny youth that's become trendy...

[super admin guy]

Wait... FF12 is no longer turn based...?

Bah... ever since it went to PS2 the series has died. I haven't played a Final Fantasy since 9 and I don't care to. 8 was, in my opinion, the beginning of the downfall. 9 was a small attempt that could have saved the series, but Square went in a completely different direction with 10 and is continuing to go downhill.

They should have stayed with Nintendo instead of selling themselves out to Sony. They only produced 1 and a 1/2 good games on Sony's system compared to the many on Nintendo.

[I am a revenant]

Why am I the only person that enjoyed FFX? I spent so long on that game.

[Chrysostom]

Agreed. I believe the term is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

[i2 enegade]

Why am I the only person that enjoyed FFX? I spent so long on that game.

FFX was an excellent game imo. Just not as memorable as some of the other games in the series.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

So I was fighting Edea on the first disc of FF8 and I was thinkin' to myself

"This is really easy. All I have to do is keep summoning Carbuncle (he puts reflect on your party) and just hammer away with Squall and Irvine, and make Rinoa keep drawing Cura."

So, now I think I have 30 something curas stocked.

I'm ready for Disc 2... I got stuck on the Dinchts house last time :(

[Turkish]

An offline version of FFXI wouldn't work. Believe me. It would be beyond boring...

not only that but very difficult to do without people.

[IAJP]

I might try Memoria...

[Triangle]

Why am I the only person that enjoyed FFX? I spent so long on that game.
I loved that game. :cool: Especially capturing all those monsters then fighting a giant version of them combined (I think..?)

[A Goonie]

I loved that game. :cool: Especially capturing all those monsters then fighting a giant version of them combined (I think..?)
Oh yeah, i love that also. My fav part of FFX is when you're able to go back to the theater and buy the short movies. I love looking at the graphics

[Brew]

The monster-catching part of FFX was fun, I can't remember what its proper name is though.

I always sucked at fighting the giant versions of them :(

[Echleon]

I was up till about 1am last night playin FFIX.

Ive literaly just finished Disc 1.

I'd forgotten just how atmospheric the whole Gizamaluke's Grotto/ Burmecia thing is. The music, scene and idea all blend together perfectly. Its pure genius.

[3rdplanet]

Gizamaluke was an arse.

All Final Fantasies are great, X is my fave.

Have played them since VI (or III, whatever)

[IAJP]

He was an easy boss, Quina held it together for me.

[Turkish]

same...I just made sure all my guys were about to go into trance before I fought him.

[Echleon]

I find him reletively easy aswell.

I just seemed to have Freya and Zidane constantly attacking him whilst Vivi cast the ocassional Thunder.

But Vivi was mostly my healer, casting potions on Zidane and Freya whenever they got hurt.

Ive reached the top of Cleyra now :)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Agreed. I believe the term is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

I wish they listened to that instead of the constant moaning reviewers saying 'Oh look, another Final Fantasy game with a few changes, how generic...'

Its fair to say those people never played a FF game fully in their lives

[red barchetta]

i feel so sorry for freya, first burmecia gets destroyed, then cleyra. poor rat...

she's awesome at fighting though. reis's wind is sooo useful

[IAJP]

She's my least used character.
And yeah, who thinks Ozma is hard?
If you know Shock with Steiner you can end that (and all the final battles even the chaos guardians) in around 5 moves.
I ****ing love Steiner!
Especially when he has seiken abilities!

yeah, steiner is really strong. i was really surprised when he was able to deal the same amount of damage as a lvl 35 zidane when he was only lvl 23.

no enemy is hard if you have quina with a decent number of blue magics

[IAJP]

Shock does 9999 damage everytime, it's argh..undescribable...such an awesome move.
Plus, he has BUCKETS of HP.

[red barchetta]

yep, and that plus mighty guard by quina makes you unstoppable!!!!

If you cast mightyguard when facing ozma, his attacks do something laughable like 24 HP off.
I was laughing really loud, the big weak ball couldn't even beat 4 members of a party!

Wanna know what sucks?

Yuffie stealing all my materia at Wutai, I hate that part of VII.

:(

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Wanna know what sucks?

Yuffie stealing all my materia at Wutai, I hate that part of VII.

:(

I did that as late as possible. Simple reason is that Yuffie only steals a set amount of Materia, and if you have more than that amont, she leaves the rest.

So she stole most of mine, but left Ultima, Cure and Life. I got by pretty well

[IAJP]

I hate her, she sucks a lot.
That part of the game is so hard.

[I am a revenant]

When does that happen? I've had her on my side for a while and nothing has happened...and i'm on the 3rd disc soon to face Sephiroth after a bit of Chocobo breeding and training.

Far left island, just land on it to set off the sub plot. And at that stage in the game, it'll be a walk in the park (see my last post)

I've defeated everyone in the tower including Godo, i'm guessing it happens sometime after that then.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

:confused:

In that case, it's already happened then. The part where you chase Yuffie around Wutai, then meet the Turks, kill Don Coreno, etc.

If that hasnt happened, you've had an uber bug that makes you skip all that

I haven't met the turks because I've previously defeated them in Midgar at the end of disc 2.
Is that the way to get around all that happening?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

When you go to Wutai first time, they're there taking a vacation.

Im guessing if you leave it right till the last minute, you can avoid it then. Though i've never know it to happen

The first time i went to Wutai I didn't have Yuffie yet so that's probably why none of that happened.

I think it only triggers when you use the Bronco and land on that beach. The area by the bridge sets it off, methinks.

for that battle its a must to cast bahamut.and make sure you give cloud a hyper.i think bahamut does about 2.5k and then continuous hits of climhazzard should do it. i found it really easy when i did that. just make sure that cloud is the focus after you cast bahamut. keep him alive. i also took all my materia that wouldnt help in the fight off so i had more hp. :thumb:

I've been playing FFIX quite abit today.

**SPOILER**















































I just watched the FMV when Lindblum gets totaled by Alexandria's fleet. That FMV is so cool.

I going to use Freya insted of Steiner i think, since i used Steiner last time.
I wish you could get Beatrix Lol.

And by the way, I have an exploder and I have Beatrix on mine (on the cheating file that is) :cool:

[Chrysostom]

What's a good team for FFIX. I usually use Zidane, Dagger and Vivi giving me a physical attacker, a white magician and a black magician but the problem with that is I'm weak physically, I'd never ditch dagger, I need her healing powers, but to ditch vivi means I'm weak as far as black, attacking magic goes. Help me! Whats a good all round team to use?

[IAJP]

Zidane,
Steiner or Armarant or Freya,
Vivi or Quina,
Eiko or Dagger.

(The ones that are first are the ones I usually use)

[Brew]

Steiner + Vivi = a lethal combo.

[IAJP]

Vivi's magic against Kuja is pretty useless though...
It's a shame really.

[Brew]

Meh, it worked fine for me, seeing as I didn't have anyones arse-kicking weapons or any of that crap.

[FlyingPaul_83]

And yeah, who thinks Ozma is hard?

ozma aint hard. all you do is shock with steiner, trance with zidane and summons and healing with dagger, and reflect flare2x with vivi

Help me! Whats a good all round team to use?
have zidane, quina, steiner and eiko, or zid, freya, amarant and eiko

use zidane to steal and use thievery once its strong enough (mine does 5000 damage :cool: ), quina support with mighty guard, angel's snack and white wind, and have eiko use haste, reflect and cure (again for support).

for steiner, just ATTACK!!! don't even stop to heal other characters (why if you have quina and eiko?)

freya, use reis's wind to cast regen on every character (very useful during summons and other looong attacks), white draw for mp for eiko and lancet to attack. freya's just a really good all-round charcter.

amarant should just throw :cool:

i never really used vivi that much.. although his auto reflect + reflect damage x2 + return magic combination of abilities kicked butt (not against kuja, as iam jim page said)

[IAJP]

The reason I didn't use Freya was because you have Armarant and Steiner, who let's be honest, are both superior.

[ibanezsucks04]

Ok who's your favorite final fantasy character of all time?
Mine would be sephiroth followed by kefka.

Vincent was great, can't wait for Dirge of Cerberus.

I saw a trailer for Dirge of Cerberus yesterday and it looks kinda interesting.

It showed Midgar being destroyed like at the end of FFVII, then Vincent running around shooting what looked to be Shinra guards, and there was a quick glimpse of Cait Sith.

Same with me. After I beat the game the first time, I dont think I ever gave my guests equipment.

[Fat people are hard to kidnap]

yeah, because it didn't matter if they died. Because they never did. Besides, who wants to waste money (and time training) people who will just leave a couple of missions later

[Spectrum]

Well, I knew in advance that Algus was gonna be a jerk and leave, so I kinda let the enemies pick on him. And since the opening scene gave away certain clues, I never bothered to equip Delita, either.

I need help defeating the boss before you go to the underwater reactor in Junon, he keeps beating me :(

I think he's called Carry Armour, the one that Rude gets to attack you, he can pick up characters and his Lapis Laser is a big fat smelly slut.

Try to use all of the Summon materia you have (excluding weak ones), Neo bahamut and Bahamut are helpful. It's weak against thunder attacks too so use Bolt 3. Comet/comet 2 is helpful aswell. Just keep charging up your limit breaks and it might be good to take the arms out first so it cant pick up two of your characters.Good luck.

its also a good idea to fill your limit gauge fully before entering the battle

[Brew]

I normally end up entering the battle with full limits, everytime I've done that though the boss rapes with with the Lapis Laser twice in a row, giving me no time to heal :(

I'll get him nailed by the end of day, if not you'll all hear about it.

Have you tried pairing "all" materia with your Restore materia so you can heal in one of your characters turns?

[Brew]

I'm not that retarded :mad:

I have two char's with Cure-2-All equipped, but the thing is he can do the Lapis Laser twice in a row, before one of my char's gets chance to cast the Cure spell.

I don't have Bolt-3 yet because I suck, I normally hit him with Cloud's Climhazzard, Cid's Dynamite, then hit him with Neo-Bahamut and Bahamut, then get Vincent to transform into Death-Gigas.

Then its just hitting him as hard as I can with Bolt-2 and any other lightning based attacks.

Bah :upset:

[IAJP]

I didn't find it that hard, you should have some decent summons and good limit breaks by this point...(?)

[Brew]

I've got Cloud and Vincent on lvl2 limit breaks.

The main problem is not having Regen yet :(

[red barchetta]

oh well, looks like your gonna have to level up

[Brew]

How?

I'm in the Underwater Reactor and I really can't be arsed leaving the place to level up, my chars. are all on level 40.

I might just re-shuffle my materia and see what happens.

[FU.CKY.OU]

I hated that boss :lol:

Carry Armor pissed me off the first time I fought him. Second time around though I had meteorian.

anyone who uses KOTR or final attack + phoenix in ff7 is a coward

Coward? Or smart?

[red barchetta]

the game's too easy if you use them though

[Mister_Che]

Perhaps. I used it, but the only time it actually came into play was when fighting Emerald. And only once. It was never activated after that.

[Brew]

First time I played the game I beat it without KOTR or any of that fancy crap.

I didn't even start breeding chocobo's, I was too lazy.

[-Listy-]

Ive never used KOTR..i never bred Chocobos..i didnt even know how :upset:

[YMB]

Yeah I like how so many people in this thread say "oh that boss is easy. Just use KoTR + HP absorb and mime it". Final Attack, however, only really has a use with Phoenix.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

KOTR was annoying to use after the first few times. I dont want to watch a 5 minute attack each time before my next go.

Final attack is like a safety precaution. If you use it, it means you have failed really.

[3rdplanet]

Phoenix and Final Attack are needed to beat Emerald though really. You couldn't use life with it could you?!

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Here's my sad, tragic, and slightly humiliating FF7 story. I purchased it for PC about 4 years ago, and sort of got into it. I bought the BradyGames strategy guide, and got to The Bone Village, and just got bored ( :eek: ) This summer, I picked it up again, and I got to the Crater(the 2nd time) but my computer started freaking out, and every time I enter the Crater, it just freezes up before I can get anything accomplished. I tried to get everything on my way there, too. (Chocobos, materia, etc..) So, yeah, that's what happened. Sucks. :upset:

[Brew]

Go buy a Ps1, they cost about £30 these days.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Well, that brings me to my next FF7 expirience. I got a new computer, and I started playing it on that, but I got to The Corel Prison, and right before the first chocobo race, it' just freaks out, and freezes up. :-/ Does anyone have any technical advice for me? (I don't wanna start over)

[Brew]

Try and locate some patches for the game, I read somewhere that it was a big buggy and crappy on the PC at times.

[Kingofdudes]

Has anyone else not used omnislash on Final Sephiroth? Its funny watching him fall after an automatic counter attack.

[Brew]

I beat Carry Armour first attempt today :D:D

Now I'm on my way back to Midgar after its been destroyed by Diamond Weapon, who was really quite easy to beat :cool:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

The lvl up screen after beating Diamond is insane. So much exp and AP from it.

And i always use Omni to beat Sephiroth. It just has the feel of completion, even though one counter would be a laugh.

[red barchetta]

i love equping 4 counters to one character. especially when one of them is paired up with 4x cut.

Anyone ever tried boosting all your characters' ( well, at least the 3 you use mainly) stats to 255? Never tried it myself, gotta do it one day

And what's your favorite party to use?

[Mossy]

Final Fantasy VII is one of the best games i have ever played, i liked VIII but then i lent it my cousin, here we are 4 years later and i've still not got it back.... lol

FFX - I was a little disapointed to be honest

Too many videos, and not enough focus on the actual gameplay

[gitzplayer1021]

i personally thought FFIX was pretty good... i heard a lot of bashing on it though... i thought it was great. the use of 4 characters again was a kick*ss feature, and the characters were all really unique. one of my beggest quarrels about it though was that the guide truly sucked. it told you to go to some website for all the information, and now that website is even gone (or is it? if anyone knows if it's still around with all the final fantasy nine info, please tell me) i've pretty much played all of them through at least 5 times each. Now i'm waiting for XII to com out.

[Brew]

'sup Disc3 of FFVII and Ultimate weapons for Cloud, Cid and Vincent :cool:

My knees hurt from sitting cross-legged for most of the day :(

[-Listy-]

Was anyone else sad when they finished FF7, knowing that was it over? ..or just me :upset:

[Cloud.]

Oh god. That would honestly take forever. If you want to, go to the Crashed Gelnika, and bring your 'morph' materia. Each of the 'unknowns' in there morph into a different kind of source. :thumb:

Cloud(of course)
Nanaki
Barret/Cid

How manly. :cool:

Lord Brummington-Where could I find some patches for it?

[Brew]

I have no idea.

At a guess somewhere like www.gamespot.com

I want my FF7 discs back...

[Lionheart1827]

Thats because FF7 runs really weird on newer pcs. Go to http://www.qhimm.com and go to the Boards. It has a lot of useful information like running the REAL music from the PSX version instead of the MIDI music and other fixes to the game. Also discuss FF8 PC. It helped me a lot because I never owned a PSX, and im proud of it. :thumb:

It also has editors where you can rip the cut scene movies from FF8 PC. AWESOME editor. :D
