The Black Mage Village (Final Fantasy)

[Mister_Che]

Screw the game music, loop some Black Mages tracks on there!

[MalcolmYoungRock]

So, I was playing FF8 yesterday before I went to sleep and I was just messing around on the items.

Mind you, my characters are like 16, 15, 14 and I haven't saved in 2 hours. And I accidentally hit "Magic Lamp".....

It made me mad.

[FlyingPaul_83]

So did you beat him?

[rivendell]

I was wondering, how long did it take for some of you to finish FF7? I'm about 30 hours into it and I'm almost at the end of disc 2.
And are 8 and 9 any good?
Thanks

[FlyingPaul_83]

It took me about 60 to 70 to beat VII.

VIII and IX are equally as great as VII IMO

[Turkish]

took me about 80 hours to beat FFVII. The first time beating FFVIII, took me about 60 hours, but now have it down to about 35. IX took me about 70-80 hours to beat.


agree with FlyingPaul

also, I always use the magic lamp right when I get it, like lvl 11 or whatnot, you get the right junctions and you can make your chars pretty beefy. When I fought Diabolos at lvl 11 or 12 (whenever you get it) Squall had around 1200HP, so it was pretty hard to kill him off. Also, I kept them both in yellow and used my limits over and over, he actually goes down pretty quick.

I kill Sephiroth after ca 25 hours.... but ofcouirse getting 4xcut and Mastered Knights of the round and Omnislash and all limits and getting your strenght up to 255, killing Ruby and Emerald, Gold Chocobo and all the **** takes forever:P

its always a good idea to kill diablos as soon as you get the lamp, because it has great abilities. also, when you cast demi at it (not casting through drawing), he casts curaga at you, making the battle eaaaaaasy :cool:

selphie helps a lot in the battle, cos sometimes she can cast aura 3 times with her limit

[supra_speed]

8 and 9 are fine. 9 is better in my opinion but i cbf explaining. 7 is the most popular and best of them all. that should remain like that forever. no need for explaining that. :) . majority of the ppl like it most.

btw. quina pwnz :P

[Brew]

I've started breeding Chocobo's, I'm close to getting a Blue/Green one at the moment.

I never knew it was so hard/long/boring/expensive to do :(

Lucky for me, I sold a Master-All materia for a sweet 1.4million gil :cool:

First time I played it I was about 10 and it took me 100+ hours :lol:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Chocobo Mage takes too long to remember stuff. Good job that you only need to ever do that whoe thing once.

Although getting a wonderful chocobo is the most frustrating part

[I am a revenant]

At the moment i just don't feel like doing all of the chocobo side-quest, I prefer to beef up my characters.

[Kingofdudes]

Diablo on FFVIII is really easy. I always fight him as soon as I get the lamp.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

You cant die vs Diablos, im almost certain about that. Since his attacks are all grav based, it can only severly hurt you, not kill you. And due to this, it wont matter when you fight him, its going to be the same type of battle no matter when

[IAJP]

Plus he was easy,
I completed him with Laguna and co if I remember...

[Brew]

^Oh he can kill you, I've been beaten by him many times in the past.

[Kingofdudes]

^he means he will still be just as hard/easy no matter when you fight him





edit:to AJIG
pretty much yeah, but I guess people wait for better curing items/better weapons/etc.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I waited for ages first time around, and struggled through the first few parts of the game. Next time around, I took him on straight away, and the game became easier. He's the most useful GF up till partway through Disk 2

[The Musician]

I'm sorry but Final Fantasy games are horrible.

[Brew]

I always found him usefull, he had a nice habbit of doing 9999 damage to some enemies and bosses.

[Kingofdudes]

The tonberry quest would be impossible without him

Cheers for quoting him, it enabled me to see what the post was.

Any day bub. :thumb: THUMB GUYS ARE TOO **** USABLE! I'm boycotting the thumb smiley, who's with me?

[Fender33333]

How can you get FF7 and FF8 on computer? I've heard of people doing this.

[Kingofdudes]

How can you get FF7 and FF8 on computer? I've heard of people doing this.

They used to sell FFVII for the PC. Im not sure if they still do.

You can get a ps1 emulator, then you can play them on your comp.

[supra_speed]

use bit torrent to download it if youd like.

[I am a revenant]

I'm sure I've seen Final fantasy VII on amazon still, maybe if you want to buy it check it out there.

[IAJP]

I can't see it translating as well onto PC.
But...that's my opinion.

[Brew]

Apparently it was pretty good but incredibly buggy.

[FlyingPaul_83]

The tonberry quest would be impossible without him


I never did that quest.

How do you get tonberry king out so you can fught him?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I never did that quest.

You gotta kill a certain amount of them, cant remember the exact figure.

In fact, im doubting if that was the method at all, its been that long

[p3ss1m1st]

Ahh, if only there was any point in playing after beating the Weapons. 4x Cut and Mega-all...

[-Listy-]

You hafta kill like 15, its so ****ing boring lol
At Odins area

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'll probably try that quest after ive done most of the other quests you can do on the 3rd disc

[Grey Incision]

hmm, I really lost a lot of interest in final fantasy after X-2, went to play VII the other day, realised how outdated the graphics were, but then i remembered, they were thinking of remaking the game...................any news:)?

[red barchetta]

something like 15 tonberries? they were annoying, just like in every other ff.

they were quite impossible to kill without aura and meltdown...

[red barchetta]

they're not re-making it, but they're making a series of sequals, but not ff style. they're making a movie 'advent children', a game 'dirge of cerberus' (a 3rd person shooter on ps2 with vincent as main character), and some game for the mobile, which i presume is only for japanese mobiles.

oh yeah, the snowboarding game in ff7 is coming onto the mobile as well

[Chrysostom]

some game for the mobile, which i presume is only for japanese mobiles.

FF7: Before Crisis. You play as the Turks I believe.

[-Listy-]

I'll probably try that quest after ive done most of the other quests you can do on the 3rd disc

Its worth it, i usually just had my guys on low health so i could use their limits again and again (Lionheart), and its over before the Tonberry gets near you, the boss itself is easy.

[-Listy-]

In FF8 did anyone do the side quest, you go to a snowy region, and theres a place, you take an elevator down, and its the same race as the Garden Master boss (forgot the name), and there are moombas and a statue of Laguna, and they ask you to get some stones, whats that about?

Hopefully someone knows what im talking about, i never did it.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

/Raises hand

The place with the Ultima draw point, amirite?

I find it difficult to believe that anyone could have done that without help. The clues are so damn cryptic. Im not even sure if it was worth it in the end.

But yes, i did it. My memory of it is fading though

[FlyingPaul_83]

So...........Whos the hottest character in any of the final fantasies?

I'm gonna have to say either Rikku or Yuna

[p3ss1m1st]

Aeris...

[Katana]

I don't like FF, because I don't like RPG's, because I'm an FPS/Simulation/Racing/Strategy person.

/the thread for me

[Brew]

Tifa

Has anyone seen the screenshots with her in from Advent Children?

They're :eek::naughty: worthy.

[Grey Incision]

yes, tifa definastly, but this is sic, so lets stop please

i didn't do that. it seemed like a waste of time. its not like you get any decent items or weapons out of it...

[Grey Incision]

i did it, it wasn't that hard, i didn't use a guide or anything, just searched for possible area's, and yeah, the end result was dodge, and what is with that star shaped crater near selphie's home garden? there are some things in that game i do not get.

[Rrrrrrr]

I did it once. I forgot exactly where you had to go for each stone, but you never left the village. I don't think there was any reward for it though, except a few flashbacks to when Laguna was in the Shumi Village. In my opinion, it wasn't worth the trouble, unless you want to know as much about the story as possible.

[-Listy-]

Ah well, thanks anyway.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ok, so I have FF7 on PC, as some of you may know, and I was wondering what FF game I should buy next. Are VIII and IX on PC, or just VIII? Help, plzkthx++

Only FFVII and FFVIII. However, you can get a playstation emulator and play the other FF's in a much higher resolution. :thumb:

[Turkish]

FFVII was fun on pc, getting the upgrade on the graphics. tore the **** outta my cpu resources though.

i gave up playing it cos it kept freezing at the cosmo canyon scene where you see stars and stuff

[FlyingPaul_83]

Lets see.............. Favorite Final boss

Mine would probably be From FFVIII it was tough and fun

(The Final hit on sephiroth at the end of VII does not count)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

i gave up playing it cos it kept freezing at the cosmo canyon scene where you see stars and stuff

That's exactly what has happened to me. (2 times, on 2 different computers) The sucky thing is that it freezes in the Crater. I have the game 95% completed, minus that. :angry:

Anyways, I'm still looking for info on PSX/2 roms. :D

[FlyingPaul_83]

There you go Dr. :thumb:

[Grey Incision]

my favourite final boss would have to be the one in 9 (no roman numerals for me, i just can't be ****ed anymore, yeah i'm lazy) All the bosses in 9 were awesome, except i still didn't like the game as much

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Final boss?

Bah, I've only played 7 (:eek: no Roman numerals) so I'll just pick a boss. I'd have to say that my fave is all the phases of Jenova. She also had the coolest music, IMO. :cool:

[Brew]

Jenova + Sephiroth were the coolest final bosses.

Ultemecia (sp?) was easy.

Necron blew goats.

Sin was a joke.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Sin, as a storyline was cool. But Sin as an enemy was crappy.

[3rdplanet]

Sin was cool and Jecht's music kicked ***. \m/

[red barchetta]

kefka and those other 3 bosses of ff6 were clearly better than sephiroth

[Mister_Che]

The Bosses in XI usually require about 12 people to defeat.




Other than that, Ultimecia and Kefka were my favorite.

In higher levels, the more insane HNM's (espcially vrta) can take up to 24-32 people to kill.

I never got to the final bosses in any of the early Final Fantasy games.

Its one of my goals for the summer though.

I loved Final Fantasy 9... I dont know what but the game just amaized me. I loved the animations and characters. I remember 3-4 houses I had a poster of that kid with the tail in it. I thought he was quite the fella.

FFX was a great game as well. I spent 110 hours on it and loved it. Whats the next FF after FFX2?

[Chrysostom]

I loved Final Fantasy 9... I dont know what but the game just amaized me. I loved the animations and characters.

I'm playing through FFIX at the moment. I love it. One of the better FF games. I seriously misjudged how good it was compared to the others. I now think it's easily up there with FFVII. One of the best. I never completed it the first time I tried, I got as far as that place that looks like it's made of ice or crystal, on the last disc, I think it's fairly close to the end of the game. I hadn't powered up to my liking which annoyed me and made me bored. I'm currently rectifying that situation. I'm about to leave for Burmecia after having won the Festival of the Hunt.

[Holyed]

FF9 is amazing, i never understood why people said it was one of the worse ones. I didn't like the new set ou of FF8, and it was good to see them go back to FF7 style. I racked up 91 hours on my main saved game of FF9 :upset:

[Holyed]

I have literally completed everything though, all cards etc.

[FlyingPaul_83]

The card game on IX is kind of confusing and not as good as VIII's card battles

[Rrrrrrr]

True on both counts. I have no idea how blitzball in FFX works (mainly because I've never played it), but it doesn't appeal to me much either.

[BassVirtuoso]

Chrono Trigger+Chrono Cross>Final Fantasy...

Blitzball is actually pretty fun once you actually try to play it.

I obtained a PSX emulator, so now I need to buy a Final Fantasy game. Which would guys reccomend? I have VII, which is obvious if you read my posts. :p Anything else would be great. :thumb:

I sucked at triple triad, but I kicked on tetra master. I didn't find either confusing, it was just so hard to win on VIII when the computer could calculate and spot all the "plus" and "same" rules better than I could.

Yea but VIII's card game seemed more strategic than IX's

[bobbass4k]

I ruled at triple triad, I got every high ranking card in the game, but i never really sussed out tetra master

to me triple triad was quite simple if you just wanted to play it casually, yet if you wanted to get into it seriously it got more comlplex with different rules e.t.c

to me tetra master was just complex from the outset

[Gave_Up]

I sucked at the card game in VIII and IX,so hard :upset: as for chocobo treasure hunting in FFIX I kicked *** at that :D

[Grey Incision]

i couldn't complete the game chocobo side quest in 9, :( there was one area that glitched up, so yeah, it was in a water one. The game glitched, and the thing just could not be found. I really wanted to see what all this ozma crap was about as well:(

[FlyingPaul_83]

Did anyone here find all the chocographs in IX?

I did. It's not that hard.

Heres a question.

Has anyone gotten the Excalibur 2??????

TO GREYINCISION- Ozma is not that hard. if you are at least level 84+ With each character you use, you'll be fine.

What kind of glitch is it? Is it a glitch where the game freezes? What color is your chocobo?

[I am a revenant]

I found both Triple triad and tetra master good fun but on IX i was awful at the Chocobo sidequest, i barely got any of the Chocographs...so no Ozma.

havent played it for about a year and a half, but i think it was blue, and it was a little water cave area, the chocograph just could not be found. my friend did it in the exact same spot i dug, but no bikky for me:(

[red barchetta]

which is the better song? 'eyes on me' (ff8) or 'melodies of life' (ff9)? i love them both...

melodies of life

[Yppolitia]

I love the music from all of them, I cant decide wether FF7 or 8 is better. I love both equally. Me and my friend were having an argument, who is cooler and harder Squall or Tidus, my bets are deffinately with Squall, Tidus is such a poof compared to Squall.

His story was just confusing.

Vincent. or Cid.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yeah his story was really weird, the first time i finished that game, i didn't really understand the story.

Zidane and squall didn't really have back stories

[I am a revenant]

I like Cloud, Vivi, Zidane and Zell.

[Lionheart1827]

Yeah his story was really weird, the first time i finished that game, i didn't really understand the story.

Zidane and squall didn't really have back stories

There certainly was back stories for Squall.


SPOILERS***






He was an orphan child along with the others, but they seemingly forgot eachother because the Guardian Forces caused slight amnesia. Matron took care of them, and was possessed by Ultimecia and became Edea. Is that enough a back story for you? :thumb:

Saying you like Cid is a very, very vague statement, as long-time fans will realize.

Vivi and Mog, both for their "Look at us we're so cute RARRR YOUR FACE IS ON FIRE!" type of thing going.

Squall, Zell, Vincent, Sabin, Edgar, Locke, Setzer... the list goes on forever.

And wasn't Zidane a clone of some kind? I think that counts as a backstory.

Yeah, but sometimes it can be a bad thing, once i played X in bed all day.

they have that whole part in disc 2 about Cloud. He lived in Nibel with Tifa, when they were kids. Then he left for Midgar to become a member of soldier so he could impress Tifa and be a big deal. He came back to Nibel on a mission to investigate the reactor with Sephiroth, and Sephiroth kicked Tifa's ***, So cloud took him on, and kicked sephiroths ***. But was wounded at the same time. And i forget how his memory was effected:(

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Cloud's story was so overwhelming for me the first time I played the game. I never seen a movie, let alone played a game, with such a complex plot at that time.

Second time round was better, as I discovered the extra storyline part back in the Shinra Mansion basement, with the flashbacks. That made things easier.

[Grey Incision]

yeah, i thought Vincent's story was very cool. And his limit was awesome. Has anyone else here played the game Legend of Dragoon? That was brilliant, on the same level as any final fantasy game.

that's quite funny, cos he's a samurai which is the closest any character in ff6 got to being japanese. he still looked a bit italian...

there has to be another ff made which has the same amount/more characters than 6. i loved the last dungeon and the phoenix cave where you separate your characters into several parties.

i was very dissapointed in 9 when the character split into 4 parties, but all you did was fight a boss with one of them :upset:

Yeah, going through VII more than once makes Cloud's story make more sense.

Yeh, when I played for the first time I was about 11/12 so I didn't really understand it.

Now that I'm older and er...wiser (17) it makes alot more sense.

[Lionheart1827]

that's quite funny, cos he's a samurai which is the closest any character in ff6 got to being japanese. he still looked a bit italian...

there has to be another ff made which has the same amount/more characters than 6. i loved the last dungeon and the phoenix cave where you separate your characters into several parties.

i was very dissapointed in 9 when the character split into 4 parties, but all you did was fight a boss with one of them :upset:

Ha yeah, Cyan's artwork where hes laying down on a bed makes him look italian, and for some reason, sometimes when I see him in game, he reminds me of uncle jesse from full house, with longer hair and armor. :thumb:

[burning star IV]

I'm playing FFX again. What a great game.

[FlyingPaul_83]

So, FF III is actually FF VI?

[Turkish]

yes

[FlyingPaul_83]

is it for super nintendo?

If it is then i have it and i'll start playing it

[Turkish]

I think FFIII was the one on super nintendo, I dunno when they made VI, but I know it's because the numbering was screwed up in japan.

I believe that's the story anyways, don't quote me.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I'm playing FFX again. What a great game.


oh yeah, its fun playing that game again because know you know more about the sphere grid so you can go anywhere on it from the beginning, instead of just going the normal way.

[Syncope]

So has anyone been able to defeat the weapons?

[FlyingPaul_83]

The only weapon ive beaten is ultima weapon from VII and VIII and X and omega weapon from X and Ozma from IX. Ive not beaten emerald or ruby

[Grey Incision]

I've beaten all except Ozma, and that's because my game glitched up during the chocobo quest:(. The weapons were the best part of the game in my opinion.

[amateurbassist]

hey, im new to this thread.... and was wondering if you could help me out..........


my mate says that they cant bring out FFIII 'cos ......
/checks his brain........... oh yeah cos they can't sort out the licensing... or somethin stupid like that... but i believe that i've seen it elsewhere...

[gitzplayer1021]

I know lot's of ppl in here are against the whole final attack-phoenix and knights of the round (in FFVII), but is it even possible to beat the weapons (emerald and ruby) without doing that? i don't use either of those, and it is just virtually IMPOSSIBLE for me to beat them :upset: ... if anyone has done it without using those, please tell your strategy. :D

[Lionheart1827]

FF3 in the US is FF6 in japan. The true FF1 and 2 were released in the US on FF Origins and 3 still hasn't seen the light of day in the US.

so it basically went like this:

FF1-japanese originally, released in the US on the FF Origins disc
FF2-japanese originally, released in the US on FF Origins as well
FF3-still only japanese, never has been released in the US
FF4-the US version is named FF2, FF4 is the japanese counterpart
FF5-japanese originally, released on one of the first FF PSX compilations, forgot which one
FF6-the US version is named FF3, FF6 is the japanese counterpart

The rest of the FF's after that were released equally in Japan and US. The reason the original FF's werent released in the US is because the subject matter was way too adult for the US audience(at least thats what Nintendo of America said). :thumb:

And yes its very confusing. :thumb:

Haven't fought Emerald/Ruby weapon in like 7 years, but I never used Knights of the Round to beat either. I did use the Phoenix/Final Attack though. Wasn't there some attack that does like 9999 to every character, making Phoenix/Final Attack necessary?

Don't know about Emerald, but you cannot beat Ruby weapon without using KOTR. Nothing else even damages him good enough.
*SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER!* Oddly enough, to get KOTR you need to Gold Chocobo, but you get a Gold Chocobo for beating Ruby.... it's like a Catch22 thing, only you can get a Gold Chocobo beforehand... thus rendering the prize useless.

About the final attack, to tell you the truth, I never even used final attack. I only picked it up on one of my playthroughs. :shrug:

[Melvin42]

You beat Ruby without KOTR???????

What did you use to attack him? I really want to know.


The 9999 attack is from Emerald. Of course, there's a little known trick to it. The damage is based on materia held by your characters. So, if you equip no materia on anyone, it won't damage you at all. Of course, that's a bit unrealistic if you plan on surviving the fight. With the minimum amount of materia needed, you'll only end up getting around 2000-3000 damage from the 9999 attack.

[Lionheart1827]

So did it have adult themes or something?
I heard that it was really really hard so they decided not to release it in the states because no one would like it because it was too hard

I think they basically said "it didnt appeal to US gamers". But the FF2 in the US was actually an EASY version of FF4.

[Syncope]

I've beaten the Emerald weapon easily with Lucky 7777's, megaelixirs and hero drinks. You don't need any materia whatsoever. I haven't been able to defeat the Ruby weapon. Can anyone help me out?

[FlyingPaul_83]

You got lucky 7777's when you fought emerald? :amaze:

That is super lucky

This is what my friend did to beat ruby: He went into the battle with 2 people dead except cloud, so he wouldn't do that sand storm attack, then he just did kotr the whole time. He had final attack-pheonix summon so he would survive.

[Melvin42]

Wow. Lucky 7's? Nice break. The materia I used against him was KOTR and some attacking materia (4x cut).

Dazers. And lots of 'em. That's how I took him down. I kept throwing dazers after almost every attack. Also W-summon with KOTR (Knights of the Round). Not to mention Mime, to copy the W-summoned KOTR. With your third member (who isn't attacking) equip healing materia, time materia, and the enemy skill materia which if you learned a couple of the really good defensive ones like Big Guard they will really come in handy. Ruby is a b*tch.

Edit: Oh yea, forgot to mention, like FlyingPaul said, go into battle with two characters dead. This will save your characters from being whirled away from the start. Then he can summon Phoenix and you're good to go.

What is a dazer :confused:

[Melvin42]

What is a dazer :confused:

An item you throw to paralyze an enemy. If you use them after every turn, Ruby can hardly get an attack off.

[FlyingPaul_83]

so....what is your favorie weapon(not a boss, but a weapon that a charactere uses)

I like cid's spears,and squalls gun blade

[Syncope]

You mother****ers with your KOTR. I don't have a Gold Chocobo to get it. Can anyone help me?

[Syncope]

so....what is your favorie weapon(not a boss, but a weapon that a charactere uses)

Ragnarok, Apocalypse and Force Stealer.

[FlyingPaul_83]

All i can say is breed, breed, breed,. It takes forever, but once you keep your mind to it, you'll eventually get a gold chocobo

Like I said, it's been a long time since I did it, but I'm positive I did it without KoTR. If I remember correctly I used Ultima weapon, Ribbon, and that armor with 50% evade. Pair Bahamut Zero with HP absorb and Mime it to all hell. Make sure that you haste/regen yourself and slow him and that your other 2 party members are dead. Also be sure the first time around that you target his tentacles rather than his main body. That way it targets his tentacles every time they come out. The only unfortunate part is that Bahamut Zero is such a long summon that it takes forever.

joker death is pretty much impossible to get. And YOU got it while fighting ruby!?

Lucky bitch

well........I'm gonna go play VI :thumb:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So last Saturday, I was at my cousin's house, and we beat FFVII. I had never actually beat it, since my computer freezes up in the Crater every single time. :-/ We then beat the Emerald Weapon. :cool: It was quite hard, but awesome. Now he has 2 master commands, 2 master magics, and 1 master summon. Oh shii.

[Dead Star]

I have FFVI. But the 2nd disc is fecked. Never got past the 1st yet.

[FlyingPaul_83]

So......I just beat emerald weapon. I was up all night mastering mime twice so i could have three mimes, then this morning, like 20 minutes ago, i fought him and just did Wsummon-Knights of the round, then used mime with everyone else.

Now i need to get final attack so i can do final attack-pheonix thing and i'll try to kill ruby weapon

[Your Mom, B*tch]

That takes all of the fun and sense of accomplishment out of the fight :(. I wish they had never put KoTR in the game, or just made it like half as powerful.

[Melvin42]

FFVI is on a cartridge.

Ah, but getting enough stars in the thing to actually use it against the weapons (why it's there in the first place, IMO) is half the battle! But yes, those things are ALOT tougher if you're only in your 50's or 60's and KOTR only has 2 stars in it... and only have one mime...

[Lionheart1827]

It's also on one of the PSX re-release compilations.

Using Knights of the Round at all sucks period. It would just totally cheapen it to me. What I used was Demi/quadra magic (or whatever. Double magic? I don't remember) and mimed it. Takes a lot more effort and strategy to beat them without KoTR.

[Melvin42]

Oooh, didn't know that. Never had a PSX. Was it part of origins?

Well, I'm going to have to try that! The last time I played it was two years ago, I believe, and I've been itchin' to play it again. I do remember that besides KOTR, which I only used to attack Emerald and Ruby, magic was useless, because of the unbalancing issue at the end of the game at higher levels (where all your characters attack for like 9999 points).

Knights of the Round is really fun to use on the enemies surrounding the Midgar area... haha.

Is that Kefka in your avatar?

I just started VI so i haven't really gotten into the game

[I am a revenant]

I have the Ps1 version of VI, a while back i really got into it but then i got stuck at this part when you are falling down a waterfall and you have several battles, does anyone have any tips for this part? I should probably give it another try sometime today.

[I am a revenant]

[QUOTE=Don't die.[/QUOTE]

I'll try not to.

[CleverRecords]

Sabin's Aura Bolt used repeatedly and Bolt magic (if you have any) always worked well for me. The battle with Ultros is the toughest one, and it's not too hard really.

[I am a revenant]

I just did it, i can't believe i didnt do it the first time because it was very easy. Now i'm just getting Gau on my side.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ragnarok, Apocalypse and Force Stealer.

123 to that. I love it when my materia grows faster than normal. :p

To add to that list, I'd go with Scimitar, the only other 3x growth weapon in FFVII.(Other than Apocolypse) :cool:

Screw Ultimate weapons and their no growth. :angry:

EDIT: For those of you who said it's hard to breed Chocobos..refl

It took me 4 generations to get a gold chocobo.

1st I got 2 'excellent' chocobos outside of Icicle Inn. Breeded them 2 times. Got a Blue and a very good White. Next, I breeded those 2 and got a Green. Next, I think I made the Green put it in his mom(The Blue) to get a black. Then I breeded them again to get 2 blacks. I just breed the 2 blacks to get the Gold. :cool:

[charolastra]

Yea, i don't even know how he can carry those **** things.

Does anyone know any news on FF XII?

[gitzplayer1021]

there's not only the fact that Cloud can carry those things, but they somehow disappear in between battles, and then 2 other people just walk "into" him and just disappear at random intervals :lol: . where the heck do they come from?? they just pop out of his pockets for battles or something. at least in VIII you could see your squall's teammates following him.

[CleverRecords]

Same in Xenogears. Your teammates just follow you around and mimick your movements, and your weapons are always visible (if I remember correctly).

[Mister_Che]

Same in Xenogears. Your teammates just follow you around and mimick your movements, and your weapons are always visible (if I remember correctly).

Well Fei uses his Martial Arts skills so his weapons arent really noticeable, but Bart, Elly, Citan, etc. never showed their weapons normally outside of battle.

people always say that there's a way in VII to be able to keep Aeris, and to sacrifice another one of your girl characters, and they insist that they've done it. I've never seen it, and it sure sounds like B.S to me. If anybody has done it or seen it been done, tell me how, because that would be quite interesting. I still think it's B.S though... right?

Its possible to see ghosts of Aeris, but I'm not quite sure where you have to go.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Midgar city, the Church in the slums. Only after getting the Highwind though

[Happy]

Dont you have to get the key for Midgar from that digging place on the north continent and head back after Aeris dies to the church and you see her ghost for a few seconds?

I've begun playing FFVII again. Such an awesome game.

[IdIeDaIlY]

I think overall 7 is best. All the FF games rock, but 7 has been my fav outta all of em. Square Enix should remake 7. They should just make it with better graphics and sound n stuff like that. Gameplay does'nt need to change. Do you think that new Durge of Ceribrus will be n e good? It looks pretty sweet. Vincit was a cool character.

I have Faith in FF XII coming out and FF as an MMORPG is great, but that's my opionion.


And don't forget you have FF:BC, FF: DoC, and FF VII: AC coming out so hopefully that'll rekindle the flame that is FF.

[Your Mom, B*tch]

The funny thing about FF X-2 is I remember back in the day my friends and I used to pray that they'd make a sequel to some of the FF's. It's just too bad they had to do it to one of the weaker FF's. I wish they had made follow ups to FF4, 6, 7, 9 and just did something cool. Especially 4 and 6.

[gitzplayer1021]

yeah, i was always hoping for a sequel to 7... or 8... or 9, 4, 6, or 5... but not for 10. of course they get the sequel for the weakest one!! :amaze: ... that just disappointed me so much. why not 7?!?! or at least remake it! get your priorities straight Square-Enix!!

[Smackers]

Yeah, a remake of 7 would be awesome. I don't really buy videogames anymore or play the ones I own now, but I would preorder that thing months in advance just to get a copy when it came out.

What are people's opinions on 9?

[MattyBlade]

6 and 7 were my favourites. I liked the storyline of 8 but the gameplay was ...... different (sux). And I liked 10's lvling system but the movement was kind of limited and such. Oh, and I'm getting a ps2 for 50$ today :cool:

*I've beaten ALL the final fantasy games (including FFlegends for gameboy which are really saga games (romancing saga series) but I won't get into that) EXCEPt for ff10 because i don't have ps2 yet*

i really liked it. the characters were great - much better than the ones of 8. the only problem with it though is the speed of the game - it takes a really long time to finish one battle. still, the story and the graphics are good, and it has an awesome soundtrack. i love 'melodies of life' and 'vamo alla flamenco'

[nodedo]

I would have to say the best FF would have to be 4 (first was released as 2 but then re-released and 4 with crono triger) its story line is the best one out of every Final Fantasy the play was great, its just an all around great game.

[Your Mom, B*tch]

why not 5? ff 5 was kind of sick what with all of the classes and everything

the gba one gets boring quite quickly. well, for me anyway.

but the ps1 tactics is pure class

[Spectrum]

I enjoyed FFTA before *someone* lost the household GBA. However, FFT on the PS1 is fantastic. Totally awesome game.

[Dead Star]

is Tactics on the PS1 FFII?

[Spectrum]

Tactics is a separate PS1 game form FFII, if that's what you mean. Bloody good game, too.

[Dead Star]

I mean is Tactics/Origins (something along those lines) a remake of FFII

[Spectrum]

I don't believe Tactics is a remake of FFII. They're done in totally different styles. Tactics, like it's name imnplies, is a tactical strategy game, while FFII is an RPG/Adventure game.

I believe Origins is FFI and FFII adapted for Game Boy. I'm not quite sure, but that's what I remember, anyway.

[red barchetta]

nah, origins is 1 and 2 for the ps, with fmvs and stuff.

a bit pointless if you ask me. they weren't even that good.

[Spectrum]

Oh, yeah, Crystal was I and II for the Game Boy, right?

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yeah thay came out with a remake of FF I & II for PS1 and GBA


I'll probably go out and buy tactics when i have the money,

I heard that you canget cloud in this game, is it true?

I have also heard this, and even seen it (on a show about cheat codes and easter eggs). You just have to know the correct sequence of events to obtain him.

I'm currently listening to ''Maybe I'm A Lion'' from FFVIII, it has a fun bass line to it.

You are one of my favorite non sequiters.

the black mages version of that is great

I've been taking more notice of FF's music and i have to say Nobuo Uematsu is one talented guy.

with 'eyes on me', he became the first ever game music composer to receive the 'song of the year' award at a japanese awards

My FF7 disk one is broken :upset: i cant start again, I've grown bored of trying to get every materia mastered.

I need an opinion from all of you FF fans out there:

FF 8 or FF 9?

I can't decide which one to buy.

[Mister_Che]

I'll say 8, but most people will say 9. Either way you can't go wrong.

Follow Mister Che, Even thugh i would recommend IX, i think VIII is just as good so its your choice. i'm leaning more towards IX though, My favorite FF game

[Mister_Che]

Y'know, both (new) can be found for about $20 a pop or less. Buy both. :)

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yea, you get 2 good games for 40 bucks, less than an new PS2 game.

FF9 is a much more well rounded game than 8. I think it's the most underappreciated Final Fantasy made, and is one of, if not my very favorite of the series.

[Spectrum]

Of course, Vivi comes from FF9, so it has to be the best.

/represent!

Anyway, if I were to, say -ahem- admit that I love the series*, which one should I start with/buy first?



*don't own any FF games besides Tactics and Advance

[Lionheart1827]

To who it may concern:


I'm in the process of recording a guitar/metal version of Final Fantasy 2/4's boss battle music. If anyones interested, I'll post in this thread once its done, which will probably be in a few weeks or so.

If you want an idea of how it will sound, check out my street fighter 2 cover of kens theme.

4,5,6 or 9 are the easiest to understand, so any of them.

Good point.

If you want a fantastic yet somewhat difficult to understand game get VII.

[Brew]

So I just saw the FFVII Tech Demo for the PS3.

It
Was
Amazing!

If Square-Enix have half a brain they'll re-do the entire game for the PS3, it really would be brilliant.

For sure....or atleast sequel a DECENT final fantasy! I didn't mind the final fantasy x lvl system but I heard they took it out for x-2(yeah, let's get rid of possibly the only good feature of the game besides the speech and amazing gfx)

PS3 will be ultimate but I hear it won't be out until next year around this time..

I think FF8 is a great game...but there's just something about it (which I can't put my finger on) that makes me think that ff9 < ff8 in storyline (and possibly graphics) where as ff9 > ff8 (Magic system, characters, upgrading system, blah blah every thing else.)
