The Black Mage Village (Final Fantasy)

[numetaljordan]

ff8 intro was great, i also liked the intro to ffx, but then again its a persinal opinion

[Chrysostom]

FFIX intro was alright. Ish. The music was good.

[MAthiAS]

I liked the X intro because the graphics were sick. But its really not that good, and I really really hate blitzball. Suckiest mini game ever.

VIII actually has really solid FMV graphics though.

Blitzball is such a pain. Is it possible to win the Luca Tournament?

Hell yeah, it was like watching a movie, not a pre-rendered cutscene in a videogame.:thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

So, I was talking to some guy today, who said that FFX is better than FFVIII and FFIX. He also said that FFVIII and FFIX are terrible games. He also said that FFIV, FFVI, and Chrono Trigger are terrible games. It made me sad.

[MAthiAS]

Reasons?

You shouldn't associate yourself with such people.:lol:

Something tells me he started with FFX and tried to get into the older games but couldn't stand the old graphics and sound.:thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

Reasons?
They have bad graphics and bad story, apparently. I don't know, he listens to Will Smith, so his opinion isn't very valid.

He started with FFVII, and that's his favorite. But, he thinks FFX is almost as good.

I guess I was sort of right.:thumb:

[MAthiAS]

Meh, he's obviously an idiot...

[Liberi Fatali]

I find it kind of sad how many people started out with FF7 and share the same opinion as that guy. Although I'm pretty sure no one in here does.

I started with Final Fantasy VII but never really liked it much, and quit half way through the first disc. Then gave Final Fantasy VIII a chance and loved it, then played VII again, IX, VI etc etc.

Hell yeah. With great stories and strategic aspects I have to agree. I mean, I think it could be argued that FF VI-VIII and Tactics should be studied in school.

You could make the argument that every FF is a romantic story in its own right. And yeah, now I see loads of words and recognize them from RPGs so its easy to remember em, its sick.

totally lost by all that, im one of those who started with FFVII onwards. tried the earlier FF's but gave up. I keep meaning to try again but...

That's exactly the same as me.

FFVI rocks so hard. And any of you who haven't gotten DQ8 yet, I recommend getting it now. It's a ton of fun, lots of hours of gameplay, and it actually is challenging.

[kamiccollo]

hey, happy and brew i take it youve not felt inclined to play X-2 then? haha.

We all know it sucked, but who here actually finished it? I played twice and after about 60% just gave up.

[MBS]

I'm watching Advent Children and this is one of my favorite scenes of all time:

Spoilers



Cloud gets stabbed in the shoulder, then Sephiroth says "Tell me what is most important to you. Will you give me the pleasure of taking it away?" Cloud takes out Sephiroth's sword, slashes at him and says: "Pitiful, you understand nothing." A flashback of some sorts which ends with Aereis. "There is nothing that isn't important to me!" Cloud then proceeds to Omnislash the **** out of Sephiroth with 5 swords. Cool? ****ing sweet.

I thought 8 was second best next to 6. 8 was a great game that a lot of people take pot shots at.:angry:

[MAthiAS]

I'm replaying VIII right now... I never noticed how much it adds to the game that you always hear Squall's thoughts. Really helps with the development of the story.

One thing I don't like is that Quistis' character is important for about 5 minutes.

one of my favorites squall thoughts is when they wake up after the first laguna dream. and selphie is like "i dreamt i was a handsome man!" and squall is like "i dreamt i was a moron"

I haven't posted in here for a long time. Anyway, I am doing the same thing. I started replaying FFVIII. I've made it all the way to Ultimecia's Realm. The last time I played the game I was like 12 years old and I never got this far into the game. I would have to agree, Squall's thoughts really make the story move along. I still kind of found it weird that he totally switches his whole additude about things instantly when Rinoa was in trouble.

[spitfirejunky]

My Selphie has 208 Vitality and 206 Spirit. :cool:

Tank-o-rific.

[FatalEnergy]

I'm almost at the very end of the game. I only used Selphie when I had to. For some reason I never like using her. So, she's at level 12 on the 4th disc

[Brew]

I still don't have a working Disc-1 for FFVIII yet :(

But for the time being, can any of you guys recommend me some really good RPG's for the SNES, other than the FF games and Chrono Trigger?

[kamiccollo]

I'm almost at the very end of the game. I only used Selphie when I had to. For some reason I never like using her. So, she's at level 12 on the 4th disc

I have squall, zell and irvine at lv 100 and the rest at lv 15-16. Theres almost no reason to use them especially with junctioning.


Ive sort of stalled on FFVIII, im right at the end of disc 3 but because of coursework and exams haven't played for about 3 weeks.
I hate trying to pick up a game after such a long time you forget what you have/wanted to do.
At least i got all the GF's!

[Happy]

I read the first 3 words of the Spoiler higher up the page... Now my life is ruined.

[red barchetta]

terranigma, secrets of mana, dragon quest 3,4,5,6, zelda, tales of phantasia, mario RPG, illusion of gaia, romancing saga

[Lionheart1827]

terranigma, secrets of mana, dragon quest 3,4,5,6, zelda, tales of phantasia, mario RPG, illusion of gaia, romancing saga

grr you beat me to it. secret of evermore is also pretty good, too. robotrek is good somewhat, too.:thumb:

[MAthiAS]

I'm keeping my levels as low as possible, I'm at level 11 and I just got Pandemona. It makes the game pretty easy though =(
one of my favorites squall thoughts is when they wake up after the first laguna dream. and selphie is like "i dreamt i was a handsome man!" and squall is like "i dreamt i was a moron"

Haha yeah man.

VIII really has a beautiful story. VII I love to death as well, but it doesn't have that same aspect to it.

[spitfirejunky]

:(

I set Selphie to draw Eden, but my Renzokuken + Lion Heart came in first and I killed Ultima Weapon. Gonna have to take that 30 minute trip down the stairs again. :angry:

[kamiccollo]

FFVII has an imense sadness in it to me, kind of humbling at times, you really feel for the characters.

I had a dream I was in the Highwind once with Cloud and everyone and that I was part of the team, thats how much it affected me :(.

Yeah, Very true. VII is still my favorite by far. There's just something to the atmosphere of that game that can't be touched. I find myself wishing that the game was actually longer and there was more to it.

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, I don't know. I love VIII's story so so much, but VII will still be my favorite I think. Like you said its got an aura to it, and it was my first RPG on PSX so its got that magic nostalgia for me. I wish I was 7 again. :(

Either way, both VII and VIII are extremely well developed and thought provoking in their own rights.

[Happy]

I beat Omega last night :cool:

[red barchetta]

the feeling you get when you beat the hidden bosses in FF is so good

[Chrysostom]

I went:

FFVII

FFVIII

FFIX

FFX

Then I'll play FFX-2

I have yet to play anything before 7, though I've seen VI and possibly V if I remember correctly.

[Fimbul_Winter]

I have a question as general as they come!

Which should I buy? FFX, or FFXI??

[Chrysostom]

FFVII has an imense sadness in it to me, kind of humbling at times, you really feel for the characters.

Y'know, that never occurred to be before you put that. Now I think about it it's quite obvious. VIII still has a slightly better story for me though, because of the love story aspect. IX and X seem to lack a certain amount of depth in the plot. Although I'm still currently loving playing X for the first time.

[crag]

I have a question as general as they come!

Which should I buy? FFX, or FFXI??
i'd go with X, but only because i'm not that big a fan of internet gaming

[Chrysostom]

I have a question as general as they come!

Which should I buy? FFX, or FFXI??

FFX. No need to pay for the internet-based privilege.

[Fimbul_Winter]

Thanks for the help! X was my original thought, but I thought I'd pass the question through a few of you.

[Lionheart1827]

I played 11 at my friends house for an hour, im glad i didnt bother with it.

i cant see myself constantly paying to play the same game.

[Chrysostom]

i cant see myself constantly paying to play the same game.

Exactly. Totally bad idea on Squaresofts part. Now I'll never have the complete series, just because of a crappy internet experiment. Yes, I'm bitter.

[Chrysostom]

In other news, a big "bwahahahahahahaha!!!!" goes out to the TBM version of Otherworld, because the singer sucks in terms of pronunciation.

[Mister_Che]

The "crappy internet experiment" sure does have 5 (soon to be 6) awesome storylines. You may not like it, but you can't deny it's still a Final Fantasy much like any other.

I never did deny it's an FF game. It's just a lame one.

[Mister_Che]

I wouldn't say that. It has most, if not all, of the elements that made the previous FF's great, minus the romance between your character and another in the story.

[Chrysostom]

I wouldn't say that. It has most, if not all, of the elements that made the previous FF's great, minus the romance between your character and another in the story.

And plus the fact that you have to keep paying to play the bastard thing.

[Mister_Che]

I could see if that would deter some people. $13.95 a month is nothing for me though. I personally think its well worth it.

Just for the hell of it, here's Bahamut.

http://www.winsupersite.com/images/showcase/xbox360_ffxi_07.jpg

[Happy]

That's FF11?
:( Stop teasing me!

[Mister_Che]

Well it's an ingame cutscene of Bahamut. He's the Wyrmking, basically ruling over some of the hardest monsters in the game. SE only recently released an update where you can fight him. As of yet, not a single team has beaten him across all servers (32 I think) whether it be the Japanese, the North American audience, or the European audience.

:eek:
Wow.

Even funnier thing...

Theres this area called Al'taiu, nicknamed "Sea," which is home to all sorts of monsters and is where the higher levels go and explore or hunt Notorious Monsters for awesome equipment. Theres one specific Notorious Monster named "Jailer of Love." There are various Jailers, Faith, Fortitude, Hope, etc., but Love is by far the hardest of them all. The first time it was taken down, it took 4 hours of Black Mages casting their strongest spells in order to take it down.

Finally when it was killed, an even worse enemy appeared. Absolute Virtue spawned in the same spot the Jailer of Love died mere seconds afterwards while the winning team was still celebrating. It then proceeded to rape every single person nearby, casting spells not yet available to mages, and hitting even the strongest people for insane damage. Not only that, but it had "pet" wyverns following around killing everything around it. No one knew what to do. So finally, someone "Called for Help," which basically allows anyone outside your party to attack the monster, but doesn't reward experience or items. Over 100 people in Sea attacked Absolute Virtue and only managed to bring it down to 98% health before its incredibly fast Regen kicked in. So in the span of two months that this new monster was added to the game, only two to three servers have fought Absolute Virtue and haven't managed to even dent him.

That's rediculous. How are people supposed to defeat these things?

[Mister_Che]

Theres methods that haven't been discovered more than likely.

[kamiccollo]

Im guessing everyones supposed to group and raise an army to defeat it?

looks like the only way, although if you get no exp or items then.....

Theres methods that haven't been discovered more than likely.

and that.

[red barchetta]

So?
i know :upset:

[Mister_Che]

looks like the only way, although if you get no exp or items then.....

As long as you don't "Call for Help" you get all the loot and experience. What the Black Mage team did was cast their spells and rotate with other members to kill Jailer of Love. They would invite other members who were ready to cast their spells while they rested. All in all it took about 36 people.

Hehe Absolute Virtue hehehe

SE's such a sadistic company. Here's putting it in a bit more perspective. The race with the most health, Galka, playing the job with the most health, Monk, has the HP of around 1600-1800. The pets that this thing calls can use limit breaks at will. One of them is Mijin Gakure, a Ninja's limit break where the ninja sacrifices all his HP and explodes, dealing alot of damage. Well, these wyverns explode, but they don't die, and instead of the normal 500 damage, they do FOUR THOUSAND DAMAGE. Instantly killing ANYONE in radius.

It's ridiculous.

[Drums Master]

besides FF3, FF7 was the best in my opinion

I have only been on FF7 and FFX and i thought they were AWSOME, the graphics are crap but i like the storyline!

Even the producers are proud of there game FFVII because they are making a movie based on the game called Final FantasyVII Advent Children. But the problem is the language is japanese.

I have seen some clips and it looks awsome!

[Drums Master]

123 Square-enix have yet to bring back the greatness of FF7.

By the way, just so u know. There is a Final FantasyVII-2 coming out for PSP.

looks like your gonna have to spend £299 on a PSP lol. :lol:

Hehe Absolute Virtue hehehe

SE's such a sadistic company. Here's putting it in a bit more perspective. The race with the most health, Galka, playing the job with the most health, Monk, has the HP of around 1600-1800. The pets that this thing calls can use limit breaks at will. One of them is Mijin Gakure, a Ninja's limit break where the ninja sacrifices all his HP and explodes, dealing alot of damage. Well, these wyverns explode, but they don't die, and instead of the normal 500 damage, they do FOUR THOUSAND DAMAGE. Instantly killing ANYONE in radius.

It's ridiculous.

Don't forget Absolute Virtue did nearly every 2-Hour (sorta Limit Break for everyone else) there as well.

How'd you get such a big ava-reptar?

[FlyingPaul_83]

omega in ff8? well done :thumb: i beat him too :cool:

the feeling you get when you beat the hidden bosses in FF is so good


I still havent beaten Omega weapon yet :upset:

I've beaten ruby, emerald, and ozma though :cool:

[Liberi Fatali]

I can't remember whether I've beaten Omega. I've beaten all the others though.

Beating Penance though, now theres a challenge.

[FlyingPaul_83]

If X international was released here, then I could try it. :(

[Liberi Fatali]

And waste upwards of 100 hours of your time ^__^.

The thing with Penance is, it takes soooooooo long to prepare for him and get all the right bits in place for your party.

You've got to get for each character that you're going to use:
Ribbon
Break HP Limit
Get their ultimate weapons
Get auto-haste for them
Get auto-regen for them
A very high luck level
Almost every stat at its maximum
etc

Or you can do it the cheap way and try your luck with Yojimbo.

[Otherside]

How comes you had to delete it?

[Chrysostom]

So I'm on ffonline.com right now, looking at how to get everyone's ultimate weapons on FFX, and I keep seeing explanations of how to get the crests and sigils. Anyone care to explain what they are and whether I should get them, because some of the things you have to do to get some of them seem like too much effort to me?

[Mister_Che]

I think they're worth it. You don't need them to beat the game, but if you want to fight every monster in the Monster arena, then it helps.

[Chrysostom]

but if you want to fight every monster in the Monster arena, then it helps.

And I need to do that in order to get Yuna's legendary weapon don't I...fine, I'll try to get em. I hate it when Square put crap like that in their games. Totally distracts me.

[Mister_Che]

I think it's cool and brings up a challenge (Omega and Ultima were a horrible joke). Of course, it is completely optional.

[Chrysostom]

Of course, it is completely optional.

Yeah, but if I don't do all these optional things I end up feeling like I haven't completed the game it the fullest sense. Which of course is the case.

[Kingofdudes]

I dont have enough time to put into it

[Otherside]

FFXI is a huge timesink, with school started I've reduced my playtime to nights when I have no homework(once every 2 months or so) and on weekends when I don't have any plans. Even then I only have time to farm and level lower level jobs. My thief is at 70 atm.

Finally got round to watching Advent Children, at last! The graphics had me smiling the whole time!

Have to say it wasnt how i imagined cloud to look like at all. There are some great/amazing fight scenes though, im definatly watching it again.

[Chrysostom]

Ha ha ha, I'm in the middle of 3 FFs at the moment.

[kamiccollo]

really? which ones?

FFVIII im guessing...
Ive not played it for a long time now, took a break and lost my momentum.

[Chrysostom]

really? which ones?

FFVIII im guessing...

Yup, you're right there.

FFVIII - the space station, just after Rinoa goes mental.

FFIX - currently desperately trying to build up characters before heading for the Iifa/Lifa Tree for the last time.

FFX - just got Rikku and she totally sucks balls. She does 50-70 HPs worth of damage.

And yes AC is awesome. :thumb:

[kamiccollo]

I dont see how you juggle them all. ones hard enough for me to keeo going with at times.

Rikku is a bit crap as a thief I had her as a mage/warrior/ cat thing when I played

[Chrysostom]

Aha, I don't juggle them all that well. The first two are on hold, probably until I finish FFX for the first time.

I have X-2 to start after X as well, but I'll leave that until I'm through at least FFIX, which I've had for years but never finished, mainly because I was in a bad position HP/MP wise. I wasn't built up enough. I've done this again this time round, I can't seem to level my characters up in IX, it's the only FF where I've reached the last disc and been on only 3000ish HP. Bastard game. I'd start it again, but I suspect if I did I'd never play it again.

fighting some Grand Dragons (outside Dagguero) is a great way to earn exp and ap. level 5 death kills it instantly. i got to around level 68 before entering the Iifa Tree.

If you can finnish X-2 youve done way better than me!

What level are you in IX? My bro played it over christmas and his were about 3000ish without HP+40% emerald thingies.(?) He had a hard time with the boss but just managed to beat him (although strategy isnt his stong point).

Erm...I don't rightly remember it's been a while since I've played it what with starting 8 again and then 10. I fear my two mages (Dagger and Vivi) are only just leaving the 2900s, while Steiner and Zidane might possibly be around 3300/3400. Though like I say, I can't be sure.

But surely they'll kick my arse, if I'm only at 3000ish. I assume these are the same dragons that the mog in in Gizamaluke's Grotto warns you not to go outside because of?

thats right. but if you have either auto-reflect or an armour which is immune to lightening, and have all your characters in the back row, you should be fine. just remeber to heal up before fighting.

If thats without the HP+ then theyre not too bad. Didnt feel like using Amarant then in you line up? Much cooler than Steiner.

[red barchetta]

Zidane + Freya + Quina + Dagger was the best party for me on FFIX

[kamiccollo]

Quina?! haha. reminds me of something me and my brother came up with.
We tried to pin who would be who (from our relatives) of the characters in FFIX. we managed to find 'suitable' people for Quina and Brahne!

On a side note im the guy arntz from lost who blows up in the first ep he features in.

[red barchetta]

Quina was actually the most useful memeber i had in my party, believe it or not :p. he/she helped me a lot with Angel's Snack, Auto Life and Frog Drop.

If it weren't for Quina i would have taken much longer to complete the game:)

[Chrysostom]

I think Zidane and Steiner may have an HP+10% slot in use, maybe even +20%, I'm not sure. Funny you mention Amarant. I used him the last time I played the game, and he is much cooler, but Steiner always seemed to me to be a central character, and I'd got more of his slots learned, so less need to spend time building him up.

Aha, I never much liked Steiner way too up himself, took him out of my line up first chance i could. When you get the +40% abilty your pretty much sorted I think.

If it weren't for Quina i would have taken much longer to complete the game:)

How so? I dont remember her being that usefull, whitewind and her protect/guard were sometimes handy, but in the end I had to go with:
Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, Amarant

Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, Amarant

That was my team once upon a time. I find I don't rate IX much any more. Except in certain areas like the music and FMV.

What do you all think of the voice acting in FFX? FFonline gave it a bad review, but for what it is, I think it's good. Lulu (Paula Tiso) has a shexy voice no?

Those little chirpy girl characters bug me, like Selphie, Eiko, Rikku and no doubt there will be a character like that in FFXII. I'm guessing Penelo (sp?)

They always seem to try and be the match maker, or have a crush on the leader.

yeah, I know what you mean, when you think about it, the FF series hasn't had that many original characters. The only Character I can say is different from the other games is Squall because he is one of the only characters who starts off very isolated and anti-social and then Rinoa helps him to gain communication skills...

I think anyway :smoke:

Me and Lord Abortion are on the Siren Server. He's already passes me up in levels.
I'm going to play it tonight.

Quistis was much hotter than Rinoa :p

Yeah I have it. It's got great jazzy/bluesy renditions that are really well done.

Anyway, I think the best female is Celes and Terra. They are badass.:thumb:

Squall is the man. Every time I play through VIII, I think, "This guy is me."

Cloud was similar in effect, but his situation was more fantastic, so its farther removed.

They're tolerable when they're like Yuffie. Rikku had no substance, her whole purpose in the game was to be stupid.

The FFXII battle system is gonna be realtime. :eek: :eek: :eek:

I smell a Vagrant Story. :)

Has anyone seen that one robot chocobo voice tribute flash by Legendaryfrog? It's got an animation of Selphie and a couple of bags of sugar and her saying "I like trains." repeatedly. I thought it was hilarious.

meh, or another feminine-looking male lead at the helm yet again.:angry:

FF SHOULD BE TURN BASED!:thumb:

leave real time to games like star ocean and such!:thumb:

[MBS]

FF SHOULD BE TURN BASED!

I agree. What really bugged me is when they switched the battle system on FFX to the real time battle system of FFX2. FFX's system was perfect because you can plan ahead and take your time on moves instead of acting rashly and trying to hurry things up.

[MAthiAS]

X-2 wasn't real time, it was fast turn based. FFX's sucked, it was too noob friendly.

That's what I liked about it. :upset:

Pretty funny. There's one with a couple of Japanese guys thats about 2 minutes long and he summons The Water Monster out of the swimming pool.
Funny stuff.

I cannot believe the amount of Lulu hatred in this thread. I might leave and never come back. :p

Thank you.

I disagree. I've always had issues with this it's-my-turn-to-hit-you-you-can-hit-me-right-after-I'm-done-with-my-turn-just-make-sure-you-stay-in-your-current-position-when-that-happens battle system. It lacks substance.

If you've played FFXI, you'd realize that you can make so many battle innovations in realtime, and expand on other jobs/roles since formations and positions become a necessity.

she's not that awesome or that hot.

[FlyingPaul_83]

IX ain't that great. X is where it's at for me nowadays. I love it. Lulu = best female character ever. Also the coolest black mage ever.

IX >>>>>>> X

[MAthiAS]

Yeah. But IX's story isn't dark or deep enough for me to really love playing it.

[Chrysostom]

Every time I play through VIII, I think, "This guy is me."

You and me both my friend.

[Chrysostom]

So I got a bit further into my replay of FFVIII and I'm at the space station bit. The bit when Rinoa drifts into space and Squall goes and saves her is awesome. Gave me the shivers and made me realise how awesome the love story part of the game is. That part has awesome FMV too.

[MAthiAS]

Word to that. But I look at Tidas/Vaan like, "I'd like to kick that guy's ***." Can't enjoy a game like that...

Just ordered Megaman X Collection and Street Fighter Alpha 3. 2D action \m/

I'm almost up to there myself. At the part where you go to FH to get to Esthar. I'm really sad though because it feels like the game's almost over. And yeah, the love story is really great. Very relateable to me.

Oh man, good times indeed. I gotta say, FFVIII seemed to have just the right music for every part. I remember when I first heard "Eyes on Me" in the Ragnarok, I just thought, "Wow, this is better than any movie I've ever seen."

Yeah, it takes ages to catch her though :p

I liked the X battle system alot.
It made it more tactical, and less reaction based.
And you didn't have to worry about trying to find a potion or a spell quickly.

[Liberi Fatali]

I was saying that as soon as I saw the first scene of the sword fight with Liberi Fatali playing in the background. Best intro to a game ever.

[Chrysostom]

Very relateable to me.

Explain?

That's where I am, havent played in a while though.

[Liberi Fatali]

Once Squall picks up Rinoa and tries to carry her to Esthar, that part always gets me. :-\

A lot of the game is quite depressing after you defeat Edea. Even a large part of the ending makes you go :(:(. That is of course up until the very end. :)

Best intro ever. Game came together so well.:thumb:

Maybe not even relateable, but just touching. Its how I picture my hopes for my life.

Nah... Tactics was tactical. FFX was noob.

Man they just don't make games like VIII anymore...

Unfortunately no. I was just having a conversation with Deus before about if Square will ever make a game as great as FF6 or Chrono Trigger again.:mad:

Dragon Quest 8 however is an amazing game and they should go back to their roots, not as basic of course, but instead of making feminie lead male characters, go back to knights and queens. Which is why I loved the above 2 games, it was in that vein only it had a slight mix of futuristic elements like magitek armor and airships.
