I could do something really cheesy and change the feather in Rinoa's palm to a snowflake or mistletoe or something. :-/

or make the pedals snowflakes.:thumb:

Reno was always the coolest of The Turks.

Agreed, although Rude is almost as cool.

You know that side quest that it says about spying on Zell? When the hell does that happen, and how do you start it?

[red barchetta]

You know that side quest that it says about spying on Zell? When the hell does that happen, and how do you start it?
you keep on visiting the Balamb library and talking to the girl who fancies Zell. then at some point, when you rest at the Balamb hotel, the girl and Zell are talking while you spy on them. you get a Combat magazine in the end. how much of the conversation you hear depends on how much you have talked to the girl beforehand

finally somebody listened to the ff8 answering machine! More people should comment on that, its very funny at some points.:thumb:

[Chrysostom]

Oh man, this answering machine is so cool. But why do some of them sound like Stephen Hawking.

The one from Wedge is cool. The Laguna is more or less how I imagined him, as is the Edea and the Quistis, and the Selphie. The Raijin however, is utter bollocks. Why is he from Yorkshire or Lancashire?

I love Squall "Whatever".

[Liberi Fatali]

Some of the voices were horrible, and killed the humour. But others were pretty funny, and I couldn't help but laugh at Squall's "whatever" hehe.

it's size reminds me of how inferior i am:( I should start an FF competition in here as an excuse to give some of you guys bigger avatars. :p >_>

So, I just watched Advent Children on my computer, after seeing Liberi's reccomendation for VLC, cause I couldn't get the codecs to work. (Thanks for that, Liberi). It's a pretty good movie and has a lot of cool scenes near the end.

It's a pretty good movie and has a lot of cool scenes near the end. Yeah, VLC player rocks. It's great for foreign movies where you can load different subtitles. Plus it has the nifty ability of being able to play the video as your desktop wallpaper.

[Kingofdudes]

I love it, but I would love it more if

1. I could rip more of my DVDs(Nero doesnt rip any copy protected ones)
2. I had something to convert DVD files to regular movie formats, such as MPEG, AVI, etc.

[MBS]

Yes! That is insanely cool, I used it for a bit of the movie.

[Chrysostom]

Some of the voices were horrible, and killed the humour.

Yeah, what was with Raijin with his Yorkshire accent? Totally ruined.

And the first voice, Selphie, man that's just as annoying as I imagined her. What is Irvine thinking?

Man, looks like the beginning of the new year will have some great DVD's to buy. PULSE is on its way at the end of January.

I'll use the FPS patch for the mini-games now that I have nothing to do.

High school sucks.

I almost started replaying VIII last week when I had a snow day, but I fell asleep before I could muster the will to put it in. Maybe this Friday if we get another...

I don't think information like that has any place in this thread. Talk to your gf about such problems, not us.

[MAthiAS]

Long time no speak man. How's life?

I gotta make my Christmas avatar soon I s'pose.

[Brew]

If I can get my hands on a new copy of FFVIII over Christmas thats what I'll probably be playing it loads.

Then when I get my laptop in the new year I'll probably emulate all the oldskool games and play them in order...because oddly enough I like doing things in order.

For example - for the past..3 months or so I listened to all my music in Windows Media Player (277 hours worth) in alphabetical order by song name...and now I've ripped the rest of my cd's (286 hours worth of music) and I'm going alphabetical order by album name...I mainly started doing this because the shuffle on WMP sucks.

I swear those retainers do nothing. They feel exactly the same if you wear them once a month as if you wear it every other day. My orthodontist asked me if I was wearing mine, and I said no thinking he meant that second, then he puts it in there and its pretty tight, so he says I'm lucky it still fits. But I had worn it every day for the last week when I went in :eek:

[Lord Abortion]

Well I broke my FFXI resolution after a day, I got half an hour on it...

I need more Gil, those rock lizards kill me pretty sharpish, so more armour is needed, methinks.

I cant be bothered to play any video games right now because of finals, but when this weekend rolls around.......Tactics will Be finished.

[IPolkaLikeThis!]

if you dont want to read a big wall of text, skip the paragraph and go to the bottom.

right now the only final fantays game i have is 4 for playstation, which i never got into becuase i got it about a month before my playstation died, and i was at the last disk of 9 when i got it. after it broke, i let my "best" friend borrow DoS, Tactics Advanced, 7 and 9, and he stole them when he moved. and since i wont be getting a playstation/playstation2 anytime soon, should i get 4 for gba? i mean, if i even see 7, 8, or 9 at a store, its mine again, but if i dont see any of them, shoud i get 4?

But lately I've found that even if I don't wear it for a few nights in a row, it's just as tight as if I wear it every night.

I've never played Kingdom Hearts, but it sounds like the worst premise for a game ever. How the hell can it be right to mix FF and Disney characters? That's a recipe for a rubbish game IMO.

Some of it was kind of lame cutesy, but it actually mixed remarkably well, in my opinion. The main story (as opposed to the disney side stories) took forever to develop, but when it did, it was really cool. However, it was also really inconclusive and open ended, and the gameboy sequel-ish game didn't really answer any questions, but certainly raised a lot more. So now I'm really anxious to get KH2.

Join the club, so far theres you, me, mike and someone else(i cant be bothered to search) replaying (or trying to) FFVIII.
About FFVII i gota disagree about tha tho, it is easily the best, no doubt in my mind.

[DeusExMachina]

They need FFVI characters in KH2. Seriously. Also, Cloud looks so awesome in that game. So does Sephiroth. Has anyone seen the cut scene of them fighting each other? It was only released in Japan, but it's awesome.

Meh. I find FFVIII more appealing in so many ways. I don't know if it's the sappy love story or the battle system. It just works so well for my taste. That's not to say that FFVII was bad... it was amazing as well, especially how it was the first great leap from the SNES series and that it paved the FF reputation.

I never really played the snes series of FF apart from a few times when i tried to get into them but failed. I havent really bothered, although i might give them another go eventually.
FFVII was really my first experience of that kind of RPG and the awe has stuck with me since. Fast paced but slow, etc.

Is Final Fantasy X any good?

[kamiccollo]

Is Final Fantasy X any good?

yes it is. Its got its head in the clouds and can be annoying at times(voice overs) but its good.

If you havent played earlier ones i reccommend IX, if you dont care about graphics go for VII and VIII or earlier if you want. They're all their own games in their own right.

edit:I reccomend FVII.

[Happy]

Is Final Fantasy X any good?
Yes, not as good as the earlier ones but still worth getting.

[Pop music sucks]

Well, the patch to fix the FPS in the mini-games on PC VII didn't work. I don't feel like browsing around Qhimm to find a way to get it working.

They're gonna be stuck (literally) at Gold Saucer, I can't play the games well enough to amass enough GP to spend at the save point, because it's like playing in fast forward. I imagine Cloud on his snowboard smacking into every single tree and icicle on his way down the mountain.

It's sad:upset:

I never change the character's names in FF's. I just leave them with the ones they come with. I'm wierd that way.

[Brew]

You have to name them in FFI, which is annoying.

[Happy]

When I played FFI for the first time I couldn't figure out the naming thingy. So two of my character's names are a jumble of words.

The FFX battle system was ****ing awesome. Only reason I feel it's worse than FFVIII is because you have to pretty much change your address to the monster arena to get any serious stat-capping done. Having your feet soldered in the same place for 40 gameplay hours kinda makes you go insane. And the sidequests weren't nearly as expansive as FFVIII, FFVII or even FFIX.

its the remake for GBA.

Wow, that's great. How much can I expect to pay for GBA? And have they remade the others? Finally, something has kindled my interest in pre-VII FFs.

for the original GBA, it'll be cheap since they have the GBA-sp and gameboy micro out. but its got no backlight, so i reccomend getting a SP.

i think they remade 1 + 2 (both in one game cartridge) and 4 for the GBA. and i heard that 3 will be remade for the Nintendo DS, but im not sure if this has already happened or not.

Interesting. Thanks, I'll bear this in mind. The remakes look pretty damn sweet.

You can probably pick up a GBA for around £45 these days.

It never really seemed to shuffle my entire library, it had a habbit of repeating songs and generally being crap.
I never had that problem, sometimes I'd think it was playing the same artist over and over again.

I didn't like the faces on the others. :-/

But yeah, no problemo. It was a bit difficult shrinking the bigger ones without gaining sharpness, but a bit of blur-tweaking actually made them come out very nicely. I'm thinking of blowing up my Squall av in a similar way.

yes it is. Its got its head in the clouds and can be annoying at times(voice overs) but its good.

If you havent played earlier ones i reccommend IX, if you dont care about graphics go for VII and VIII or earlier if you want. They're all their own games in their own right.

edit:I reccomend FVII.

I actually have VII and VIII, both great games. I also have a bunch of older games on SNES ROMS and FF1 ROM for NES. Although I shall check out IX, I didn't know if it was any good.

IX is good because it was pretty much an homage to the "classic" style FF's. It was a bit lacking in some areas, but it rocked.

IX is awesome indeed

in Dragon Quest 2 for the NES, the computer randomly picked a name for the characters you can use, which was annoying. it made one of my guys be called Biscuit for some reason.

Can someone help me out and link me to an emulator + FFI ROM? (or the one with black mages, white mages, etc so on and so forth). I need to play those. Size kind of matters to me (<56K :( ) so if it could be a small file size, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

So, How did you guys get into Final Fantasy?

For me it was in sixth grade, 5 years ago. My friend Daniel would always talk about final fantasy VII and I was interested. So one day I asked him if I could Borrow FF VII. He laughed and said no, but he let me borrow VIII. After that, I just fell in love with FF.

I bought VII next, then I think X came out a year or 2 later so I picked that up. Then I bought IX like 2 years ago. then I bought x-2 when it came out, which was probabaly a mistake spending 50 on that game. My most recent FF purchase has been Tactics, which was a great buy.

so how did you guys get into FF? I know Lionheart has been an FF fan since VI(maybe earlier).

[MAthiAS]

When I was 7 I saw a commercial for FFVII and immediately thought, "Crap that looks amazing, I gotta rent that," because of the motorcycle scene. So I rented it and was so mesmerized just by the opening sequence I bought it. Never looked back.

[Lionheart1827]

I was really young, in elementary school, probably like in 2nd grade, when I first played FF3(6) in 1994. First RPG I've ever played. Then came the amazing Chrono Trigger in 1995.

I really do miss my childhood, and those games are among some of the major reasons. I'd really like to relive those games for the first time again.:thumb:

[Pop music sucks]

So, How did you guys get into Final Fantasy? I was in 4th grade and I slept over at my friend Andrew's house. I watched him play his save file on FFVI and he let me play a few hours from the start of the game. That was really fun.

Ever since then, I've been playing FF.

[Brew]

I remember a few friends talking about it, but I wasn't too sure what is was about etc...but when I got bored of playing Command & Conquer, I traded it in for FFVII and never looked back...

good question.

i think it was 8 or 9 years ago for me, when i went round a friend's house. his parents owned a SNES, and final fantasy 4 and 5. i decided to borrow 5, and i got addicted to it, basically. from then on, i became a big fan of the ff series and Square. the next time i went to Japan, i bought ff4,5,6, chrono trigger, bahamut lagoon and romancing saga :cool:

and thats how i got to know FF. which is how i got to know about Nobby. which is how i got to know about The Black Mages. which is how i got into great metal bands.

I remember back when I started, uh, "emulating", I managed to get my hands on a translated english copy of Bahamut Lagoon but I never managed to get a chance to play it.:thumb:

Also, a little funny story from when I first started RPGs. As I said, my first RPG was FF3/6. My brother had told me to rent it since it had just come out. Every Friday, me and my bros got one game to rent for the weekend and used my rental on FF3/6. I ended up not knowing how to play the game and I didn't make it far at all. I ended up crying my eyes out because I got a "game I didnt want." But then my oldest brother who recommended it showed me how to play the game, and I was hooked for life. Best RPG ever.

True, Nobby did some excellent work with that piece, and I have to say the intro riffs to "Otherworld" as done by The Black Mages was pure and simple aural awesomeness. First time I heard that I was like, "woah, dude! like, totally awesome, and other generic 90's hipster expressions!"

I agree with the second part. They don't have to be charasmatic though really... I mean, that's more Barret's role, for example. But leads should at least be mature...

[BurningSky]

Right now, I'm playing Final Fantasy VIII, and I'm doing the Winhill vase sidequest. I think there might be a glitch in my game, because when I go up to teh suit of armor to get the vase piece, no matter where I position myself and press X, Squall doesn't take the piece. I've tried every position around the armor. Is this a glitch in other games, or am I just not doing it right..?

If I recall (I haven't reached that part yet as I'm stocking Ultimas and collecting final weapons and GFs) you have to talk to someone before you can actually get the vase piece. Did you check the walkthrough?

Heh cloud's story. I still don't think I understand it completely.

[crag]

i just searched google for Cloud's story and found this

http://members.tripod.com/ff7story/

it goes into his story a bit, its basically the full story of FFVII, quite an interesting read

:eek: Awesome.

That website was pretty good, I'd forgotten how complex the FF7 story was.

I'm downloading the FFIX OST at the moment...at about 45kb/s :(

[Mr. Ron]

Ok, what is the BEST emulator for FF7?

[Lord Abortion]

PSXE...if you can get it to work.

:thumb: thanks man. That was quite an interesting read. Now I feel like playing FFVII.

Heh I second this. Any FF soundtrack is worth waiting for.

[Brew]

Well, the download screwed up at around 70% so I started downloading it track by track...

I'm also doing a MIDI version of Force Your Way from FFVIII, which is sounding alright so far :)

[Happy]

Cool. Look forward to hearing it.

[crag]

heh, i was playing FFX-2 today.

i can see why everyone says its not good

Yeah, It lacks that certain FF depth that you expect after the previous ones.

Allright, Ive just got the ragnarok on FFVIII, apart from the giant cactuar are there any other places or missions I can go to/do before continuing the game?

deep sea Research center

[Mister_Che]

And be sure you have means of sustenance to keep your party alive in there.

And watch the pattern the glowing light has for a few minutes, only walk towards it when theres no glow or you'll be attacked.

[kamiccollo]

thanks, I read somewher its hard to find/enter? or something like that.

Also does anyone also remeber seeing a building like a blackbrown lighthouse around north east esthar up on a cliff, I could have sworn I saw one in disc 2 but its seems to have vanished!

[FlyingPaul_83]

nah its not hard to find.

just go to the bottom left corner of the map.

I dont know abou that lighthouse though.....

[Mister_Che]

You lost me on the lighthouse...

But for the Deep Sea Research center:

Obviously you have no choice but to take Squall. As for your other two choices, take someone you've junctioned with a high MAG level. Be sure you have Meltdown, and either strong curative magic or an elixer/megalixir or two. Some ice spells help as well.

Now, when you enter, you'll be greeted by a dim light in the center that begins pulsing as you make your way to it. Do not walk towards it as its pulsing or you'll be slowed down by a fight (easy, but a waste of time). The light glows in a wierd order so be sure you study it for a minute or two. It'll glow intensely, then cool down. Then it'll glow intenselye, begin to cool down, then blink back to its intense phase, so it basically just tries to trick you. Anyway, once you get to the light, you'll be asked some questions.

On the first question, pick the first choice. You'll be attacked by a Red Dragon (I think that's its name). Unload some Ice magic on him and Shiva if she's junctioned. You can also try Doomtrain to see what status effects will stick. Usually, the dragon will be Blind, which helps alot. Anyawy, once he's dispatched, head to the center again. On the next question, choose the second answer. Again you'll fight a Red Dragon. Now, the third time you make your way to the light, you'll have to pick the hidden answer. It's under the last answer choice, seemingly invisible. Choose that one, and prepare to fight one hell of a battle.

I won't spoil who it is, though more than likely you already know. Either way, cast Meltdown on him, and if you have it, cast Aura on Squall. If you have a Hero, give it to Squall, but only AFTER aura is cast on him. Then just unload on him with his Limit Break. If it doesn't show up when his turn comes around, keep pressing the Circle button until it does. And just keep your other two party members busy with casting Wind type magic or whatever else you have. Keep your HP hich because Mega Flare HURTS.

Once he's dead, refine his card and you'll get an awesome gift from it. Or should I say, 100 awesome gifts from it. Come back some time later and there'll be a hole in the ground. If you have Siren's Move-Find ability enabled, you'll see a Save Point, then make your way down. I'll leave the rest for later.

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, Irvine's shot helps alot there...and In at least one of the RD fights, Odin should aid you.

I had him twice on one playthrough :cool:

[Magical_Mystery_Tour]

Anyone played Final Fantsy IV Advance? I have never played the original, but the GBA game was pretty good.

thats another thing you should do if you havent already gotten Odin.

I've only played the original, but I hear Advance has some cool extra features. I don't really know.

Does anyone know if Advance is the hard original version, or the lightened up American version?

Edit: Post 900! w00t.

If someone's got all the files in one archive would they mind sending it to me so I don't have to d/l them all separately?
