FFXII just needs a dark storyline, that was what was so great about VII, VIII and IX to a point, they werent too fast paced, and had some tense moments, where you kept playing to find out more not just reach the nerarest save point.
X and X-2 were to light hearted for me.

Exactly, part of the problem was the voiceovers, it ruined the suspense and left awkward moments were conversations just sounded weird and out of place. You need to read what they say, that way you give them your own voices and you read what they say your own way.
I liked X it just wasnt as good, and thats the reason.(see 5 posts back)

fatbandit
11-21-2005, 01:00 PM
Meh. Voices are good, when done well. If they were scripted, cast, and acted MGS style, it would be cool.

Having the actors in the same room helps. Screw it being impossible due to their heavy workloads! :mad:

yeah, you need to get the enemy to hit that character with a blue magic. the difference between 7 is that you cant use that move until the end of the battle. also, once you've learned the skill, you dont need to repeat it for the other characters.

I just beat the hell outta Ultima Weapon

it seemed impossible at first since he would do a 9999HP attack on one of my characters each round and I struggled a little at first but in the end it only took me squall counter attacking him a few times, meltdown and three irvine limits being 100 machine gun ammo (thanks for the tip red brachetta :thumb: ) and 2 steel ammo :cool:

and about 6 final elixiers and 7 times full-life :lol:

fast ammo + meltdown for the win really
each hit made 800 - 1600 damage and I fired about 50 times per limit
you do the math:D

As long as you don't move when the light is bright before ultima, you don't get attacked, or just use No encounters.

im surprised you havent brought up that the midi music is garbage compared to the real cd music on the PSX version. however, thats what custom soundfonts are for (qhimm.com). Theres a guy named Samuel Slight that made an incredible FF8 soundfont that sounded frighteningly close to the original OST, and it was all midi. theres also a program you can get for FF7 pc version that allows you to use the mp3s for the music.:thumb:

Which bit of Cait Sith was robotic? That is to say, was the little black cat real or a robot?

EDIT: Oh no wait, nevermind, the cat was fake, because it gets crushed in the temple, then a new one comes along.

That part of the game made me chuckle.

Cait Sith: /me dies in Temple
Everyone else : /me is only pretending to be sad

*less than 5 mins later*

Cait Sith2: /me is teh new Cait Sith!
Everyone else: /me is only pretending to be happy

Well, after finally going around to play VII.

I'm about to go on the path through Mt. Corel to Gold Saucer.

Funny, I received only 6 potions during the Junon Army Celebration broadcast but I got HP Plus Materia from Rufus.

The first time I entered Gold Saucer I was in awe... I spent a lot of time there.

Yeah, Battle Arena is awesome. Chocobo racing too, but sometimes I just grew tired of it, but had to do it anyway for the Gold Chocobo.

I hated Chocobo racing at first, only 'cos I never won.

I was under the impression that the black chocobo had variable stats, so they'd always be better than yours. I guess not.

You're right. Though your stats peak at 999, the black Chocobo can surpass 1000.
