The Black Mage Village (Final Fantasy)

[MAthiAS]

They made 3 games as great as VI consecutively: VII, VIII, and Tactics. :p

Hope XII fails so they have to go back to the drawing board. And bring Nobuo back.

I almost bought FF Chronicles today too. But if the load times are as bad as in Anthology I'll just wait for Revolution or mod an XBox or something.

[Liberi Fatali]

*200% agreement*

Best intro ever. Game came together so well.:thumb: Up there with the intro to Apocalypse Now!

Man they just don't make games like VIII anymore... If a game like FF VIII was made today, it'd probably break the budget of almost every producer, cept for the big boys like EA, Microsoft, Sony and Namco.

And bring Nobuo back. I don't see why people have been saying that, Nobuo hasn't left. He's just got some young little helpers. Nobody gets rid of Nobuo.

That's so sad. :(

I recall that Vagrant Story had a huge budget and didn't nearly win back enough money. It traumatized Square, but I loved it.

[Happy]

I don't see why people have been saying that, Nobuo hasn't left. He's just got some young little helpers. Nobody gets rid of Nobuo.

http://www.originalsoundtrack.org/images/artistes/0011.jpg
I thought he left. I felt sad. Now he hasn't left I feel happy.

Do you think he actually lives at Square's HQ in a cupboard or something with his beloved keyboard wife?

[Lord Abortion]

He must do...And he commands his minions with his hands of Godliness

[DeusExMachina]

Wait, what? I read on a pretty good FF news site (don't remember which exactly) that Nobuo is a freelance worker now. Which isn't to say that he won't do FF games, but simply that he isn't an employee of SquareEnix, so he won't necessarily do them anymore. But that could be wrong.

I never got into FFVIII. I'll have to try it again, I guess. Just a bit too much of the future thing for me. And gunblades? Seem very cheesy to me.

[MAthiAS]

Meh, cheesy weapons are a crappy reason not to like that game.

[DeusExMachina]

Meh, cheesy weapons are a crappy reason not to like that game.
I didn't say they were the reason I disliked the game. But, if you can't get into a game, cheesy weapons doesn't help. And I do intend to give the game another try.

i heard that about Nobuo too - he's not a 'proper' member of the Square-Enix team (he isnt in the list of 'composers' in the SE website) but he can still work for final fantasy.

i prefer the ff's set in the past to the future too. its the reason why i prefered 5 and 9 over 7.

[MAthiAS]

Fair enough.

If given the choice, I prefer futuristic. Probably because my first RPG was Phantasy Star 4. But I still love FFVI and Tactics to death, so its not a huge concern..

[HNLzero]

Does anyone think that girl from When a Stranger Calls looks like Rinoa from FFVIII?

[HNLzero]

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.
It's probably the best love story in the FF's. It became ever cooler when I actually realized that Juila was Rinoa's mom.

[Liberi Fatali]

He set up his own label called Smile Please. http://www.smileplease.co.jp/

But he is still working on Final Fantasy XII.

[innerdark]

ok, the argument about the best ff game...

main pros then main cons

FF7- pros = vincent,cloud, sephiroth, the music, W-Item and tifa
cons= yuffie,too short, aeris dying :( and W-Item

FF8- pros= Squall,deeeeeo story, limit system, lionheart, music again
cons= is a bit annoying sometimes(space station, propagators) Irvine

FF9- haven't played

FF10- pros= good for FF n00bs, blitzball, Anima, Rikku, auron
cons= tidus, auron, cheesy story, a bit too easy

FF10-2- Pros = attempt at continuing the story
Cons= incredibly bad, more or less everything

[Liberi Fatali]

What was wrong with the space station?

You haven't played IX? Blashphemy!

Blitzball and Rikku were incredibly annoying. Well blitzball was more boring than anything.

[Kingofdudes]

I started a new FFVIII game today.


Blitzball and Rikku were incredibly annoying. Well blitzball was more boring than anything.
Ugh blitzball.

[Liberi Fatali]

Did you rename your Guardian Forces?

I had no idea what I was doing first time around and named my Ifrit, HARRY. In caps too. :upset:

Care to try all of the bosses in the battle arena?
Not nearly as bad as you want to make it sound.

nah

I havent yet, but I think I will. I have quite a few offensive names I could use.

the space station isnt annoying, but the propagators can be gay if you dont remember the pattern.

I actually just beat that part in my VIII game. Now I'm at the point where I can do all the card sidequests and get the ultimate weapons etc. Yay!

[Liberi Fatali]

I like Final Fantasy 6. The more I think about it, the less I know which Final Fantasy is my favourite. But as a series, its certainly my favourite.

Care to try all of the bosses in the battle arena? And if you've got the non-American version, face the Dark Aeons and Penance. They really are harder than anything in any other FF that I can think of. Only Omega (ultima?) Weapon in FFVIII comes close.

[MAthiAS]

You can do all the card sidequests when you get Garden mobile.

Speaking of which, I'm trying to abolish random from Centra... Random is so crap.

[Kingofdudes]

And if you've got the non-American version, face the Dark Aeons and Penance. They really are harder than anything in any other FF that I can think of. Only Omega (ultima?) Weapon in FFVIII comes close.
I wish they included them in american version. The Dark Aeons in X-2 are nothing.
I can't even remember what the propagators are...
The big alien things in the space ship.

Random is so crapTruth

[FlyingPaul_83]

I can't even remember what the propagators are...


They're the huge four legged colored beasts that live in the Ragnorak(sp?) in space. You have to defeat them in pairs other wise they revive eachother.

[MAthiAS]

Ah yeah, my first play through that took me a good two hours to figure out lol.

[Liberi Fatali]

There were big four legged beasts in the space ship with me? :|:|:|:|:|:|

I guess I need to play VIII again then, I certainly don't remember any of that.

[Happy]

They're the huge four legged colored beasts that live in the Ragnorak(sp?) in space. You have to defeat them in pairs other wise they revive eachother.
That scared me so much on first time playing through.

[Lionheart1827]

That scared me so much on first time playing through.

Yeah, especially the music. And they'd make that creepy scream and run at you.

Also, is it just me, or did the "Jailed" music sound creepy to any of you? :thumb:

[Happy]

No. It got annoying though after hearing it for hours in prison.

[PAJJ]

I wish they included them in american version. The Dark Aeons in X-2 are nothing.

They're more part of the story though, so can't be that hard.

Omega from FFVIII was really easy, infact that was probably the easiest one, actually make that VII was the easiest, Cloud = best charcter, i had him near invincible.

I liked blitzball it's the only reason i still play X :upset:

[spitfirejunky]

^ You sure you're talking about Omega and not Ultima?

Omega gave me a bit of a hard time. The only reason I didn't die was because I looped the money-making trick (Tent and Mega Potion refinement) and refined Mega Elixers that saved my ***. Without those, I would have died from Medigo Flame + Terra Break unless I freeze-framed for Selphie's Full-Cure.

or you could just modify the Bahamut card into 100 megalixirs.

i didnt have any problems with Omega weapon in VIII. all my characters had a way of healing 100% (recover, elixir, curaga), and a way of reviving a character to 100% of their health (revive, full life). i just used meltdown and a few limit breaks by Squall and Zell and I won.

[DeusExMachina]

....mmmkay:confused:
Care to try all of the bosses in the battle arena?
I personally found the bosses in the battle arena to be pretty easy. Granted, I didn't have the international version, and apparently the dark aeons and Penance are insanely hard, but I was a bit disappointed with the bosses in the NA release. Plus, it's so easy to overpower yourself in that game. Just use tricks to get sphere points.

[Chrysostom]

FFX's battle system is good. It allows you time to think tactically, especially with the ability to call in the other characters at any time. Rikku and Blitzball are annoying/boring.

I'm at the Ragnarok/Propagators bit. It's so annoying. Still, once I'm through with it I can fly around and do all the side quest bits.

Anyone else find it annoying/disappointing that the Crusaders caved in and turned to Yevon?

[PAJJ]

I haven't played VIII in ages so i could be wrong, i hardly remember anything about it, but i'm quite sure i went through and did everything with no trouble, but this was way back in the day. Quisist was the best i "think" she had an ability that would just kill things instantly.

X's battle system was good, i just don't like the fact none of them are defined to certain abilities, they can all learn everything, which was one of my favourite parts about IX made it a bit more tactical.

[Chrysostom]

X's battle system was good, i just don't like the fact none of them are defined to certain abilities, they can all learn everything, which was one of my favourite parts about IX made it a bit more tactical.

I dunno, this system is more flexible. Besides, they do have certain abilities which are obviously based on their order, particularly the mages and Rikku.

[PAJJ]

Yeah i suppose escpecially if your working through the story, but it's when you get to the stage when you want to beat all the dark aeons etc, you move around so much, and boosts stats that all the characters are the same. Maybe it's just me but i like it when the characters are defined as certain types, eg mage, theif.

[Happy]

.
I don't think so, that was Selphie. Her limit "The End" kills things instantly. No matter what it is.

[MAthiAS]

Tactics job system was definitely the best IMO. It had customization to a point but characters still had definitive roles.

[PAJJ]

I don't think so, that was Selphie. Her limit "The End" kills things instantly. No matter what it is.

Maybe it was her, again not played it in ages, i just remember a move that killed things instantly, all remember is it not being squall or Rinoa, and i didn't use the chap with the gun, or the guy who punched.

[DeusExMachina]

I didn't like the battle system in FFX. And, the only value of different characters were their limits, because their stats all equaled out by the end of the game.

[HNLzero]

I don't think so, that was Selphie. Her limit "The End" kills things instantly. No matter what it is.
Haha, I used that to kill the Ultima in order to get Eden. I restarted my ps2 so many times. :p

[Happy]

Haha, I used that to kill the Ultima in order to get Eden. I restarted my ps2 so many times. :p
I got it on Omega :cool:

[Chrysostom]

People don't seem to understand. Just because you move away from a characters designated area doesn't mean you have to have them learn each other's abilities. I'm not.

I'm having them learn their order based stuff, then when I move, say Lulu, to the area with Tidus' abilities, I'm skipping over most of them and concentrating on picking up the HP, MP, defence, magic defence etc nodes.

That's the beauty of the Sphere Grid system, you can define character roles, or have them the same as each other. I fail to see the problem.

[red barchetta]

In FFX, the problem with having a mage with 255 strength is that it defeats the whole purpose of a mage.

you will have to get every stat of each character to be so high that they arent that different at some point ie. when fighting Penance, Dark Aeons, and some of the later Monster Arena bosses. otherwise you wont stand a chance. and when that happens, like Deux said, the only thing that will separate each character will be their overdrives.

you can only get away with having roles for each character (eg. Lulu being good at magic and Auron being good at fighting with weapons) if you play the game without the sidequests, because, to be honest, the game is extremely easy. not going through the sidequests makes FFX a really dull game.

[Chrysostom]

Well, I'm at Macalania Wood and I haven't done any sidequests yet, and I think it's an awesome game. But perhaps I'm easily pleased. I don't like the idea of all characters being the same, so this first time round I may well skip the sidequests.

[EverytimeIBodom]

Best FF out of 1-6?

[red barchetta]

Best FF out of 1-6?
many will say 6.

but personally, i love 5 to death, since it was my first ever FF. 4 isnt too bad either; it has THE hardest last boss in any FF.

[Liberi Fatali]

The female characters just looked retarded doing 99,999 damage, it just doesn't look right when their attacks look more like a prod that a hit.

In Final Fantasy X that is.

[MAthiAS]

Characters doing over 10k generally looks stupid in general.

Edit: As does redundancy :lol:

[Lionheart1827]

Best FF out of 1-6?

6 imo.:thumb:

I'd have to agree seeing its the only one I've played 1-6.

By the way man your recording of Rage of Ken is cool as hell.

Your pretty far then, isnt that just before the calm lands?

Im one one of those people who want to get everything, so I spend ages in a new area to look for sidequests and hidden items. I usually end up giving up after a while especially when it takes way to long and you have to re-search areas again.

[Chrysostom]

Your pretty far then

Oshi. I'm not nearly finished am I? Because most of my characters are only just at the top end of the 1000s in HP (between 1600 and 1800 except Auron and Kimhari on 2100ish, Yuna on 1182 and Tidus on 1300ish).

Nope, I think your about 2/3 of the way through the story, but there's plenty of stuff you still have to do. I think. Its been a while since I played it. You have four aeons right? The first one, Ifrit(?), Ixion and the ice one (Shiva?).

I don't have Shiva yet. I have Valefor, Ifrit and Ixion. 2/3 of the way through? Yikes. I need ti pump my characters up fast. Why is the damn game so short? They don't make 'em like VII/VIII any more.

[kamiccollo]

Im doing it from memory, so I might be wrong. I think your 2/3 through the story(line), but you know how it is, you get bogged down with things that take ages to complete,
It just has a really simple story line that goes straight from a-z without as many interesting obligatory detours along the way. At least to me.

[Chrysostom]

It just has a really simple story line that goes straight from a-z without as many interesting obligatory detours along the way. At least to me.

Hmm...this is mostly true. Although Auron seems to have some issue from his past. Something to do with Rin and the Farplane. Don't tell me what that is.

Ooh, that bits juicy even if predictable.

[crag]

me thinks you're only half way through, if i remember rightly theres still quite a few things to do.

and yeah Auron's story is quite predictable.

[Happy]

FF3. It's the only one I got pretty far in.

[Chrysostom]

That's a bit better.

[MAthiAS]

It just has a really simple story line that goes straight from a-z without as many interesting obligatory detours along the way.
Yeah, and its predictable as hell.

Though VIII didn't have many story related sidequests either, because characters weren't that interesting cept Squall and Rinoa.

But VI and VII were loaded with great characters and great sidequests...

[DeusExMachina]

many will say 6.

but personally, i love 5 to death, since it was my first ever FF. 4 isnt too bad either; it has THE hardest last boss in any FF.
I loved the last boss of FFIV. So much fun.

Personally, 6 is the best FF of I-VI, and probably the best FF out of any of them. Although IX and IV are also very good.

[numetaljordan]

woo i just got FFX international version, dark aeons here i com |M|

[Happy]

Good luck, you'll need it.

[kamiccollo]

Yeah, and its predictable as hell.

I dont think it needed them, there were enough turns in the story to make it interesting enough, methinks.


But VI and VII were loaded with great characters and great sidequests...

I should really get round to playing VI sometime....

[MAthiAS]

I should really get round to playing VI sometime....
Yeah, its really quality. One of those games I wish I had gotten into 10 years ago though.

[DeusExMachina]

woo i just got FFX international version, dark aeons here i com |M|
Don't you need a modded ps2 to play it? I'm pretty sure the international version will work on a NA bought ps2.

[Liberi Fatali]

woo i just got FFX international version, dark aeons here i com |M| It'll take you ages before you can get through far enough into the game to face them, and then level up enough to be able to face them.

I bet you the first time you face Dark Valefor, you'll charge in then charge out after about 3 hits saying "stuff that, those dark aeons are impossible."

But really Dark Valefor, Ifrits, Shiva and Ixion are fairly easy and not a lot seperates them. Once you get to Yojimbo, Bahumut, the Magus Sisters and stuff, then it gets REALLY hard.

Don't you need a modded ps2 to play it? I'm pretty sure the international version will work on a NA bought ps2.
NA? :|
Aint no such system is there? I know we're PAL over here and in Europe, whilst I'm pretty sure Japense is NTSC but slightly different.

Know what you mean, in the end I used Yojimbos Zanmoto to finnish them off. But when it came to Dark Yojimbo, man that is impossible. Its almost impossible to get enough Zanamotos to finnish him off the 'however' many times you have to face Dark Yojimbo without him getting at least a few on you. After about 1 1/2 hours I got 3 in a row and died so I gave that up!



NA? :|

Its NTSC but I think the US gets their own translated version? or something to that effect.

[crag]

heh, i remember when i first fought Dark Valefor, i had no idea that the dark aeons were as hard as they were, needless to say i got my *** kicked. I continued trying for a few hours until i checked the net for hints to beat him and i saw his HP and was like:eek:

[Happy]

Yeah the first time I fought him I managed to get in 3 attacks. That was fun.

[no_leaf_clover]

i never attempted the dark aeons, i knew i had no chance.

[DeusExMachina]

I would love to fight the dark aeons, but I really don't care enough to buy another copy of the game, plus play through all of it again.

[kamiccollo]

Howd you guys beat dark yojimbo if any of you bothered to try. It cant just rely on being lucky with the zanmatos?

[PAJJ]

Hugely maxed out charcters, armor with ribbon, auto haste, curseproof, auto-life, wepon with damage break, quickhits from all characters aslong as they're doing 99,999, switching to aeons to block attacks, alot of patients and a hell of a lot of luck. oh use Tidua Blitz ace, and Wakka's attack reals.

123 I don't really feel like playing through that whole game again.

in other news, I'm gonna try and defeat Omega weapon in my VIII game that I am currently playing. I sucked so bad at the card game my first play through VIII that I had no chance to defeat Omega weapon.

Good luck with that, I used Squall, Zell and Rinoa for it my first time through. Its a pretty long fight.

Omega's the guy you get Eden from right?

I just used limit breaks and drew full lifes. Had at least one guy permenantly dedicated to healing and reviving with full life. Was over before I knew it!

[red barchetta]

i prefer it when you can actually put up a good fight when fighting hard bosses even at low levels (bahamut in FF4, for example).

the training required to even stand a chance against the Dark Aeons is absolutely ridiculous. it put me off so much. and letting have moves that automatically kill you in one hit (a.k.a. 99999 damage) is so stupid.

which omega?
the one in the castle (or is that ultima :confused: ) or the one in the sea?
I never tried the one in the castle but the other one isn't thaaaat hard, I just used irvine's limit a couple of times with machine gun ammo and meltdown

[MAthiAS]

Ya. FFX's battle system doesn't lend itself to battles being hard because of that though, because you can tell exactly when everybody's turn is.

I agree totally man. Next play through of VII for me will be low level. Sucks that in VIII its actually way easier with no leveling.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Omega weapon is in the castle.

Ultima is easy, just use lionheart :p

Can someone refresh my memeory on terra break, I forgot what it is :(

Ultima is easy, just use lionheart :p

Can someone refresh my memeory on terra break, I forgot what it is :(

Best move evar:thumb:

[Chrysostom]

Sucks that in VIII its actually way easier with no leveling.

I always thought that was somewhat of a good thing. It means you don't have to break the flow of the storyline by sticking around in one place to level up your characters. I've come to my senses and realise that the first 2 PS FF's are the best. FFX is good for what it is but...

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah the first time I fought him I managed to get in 3 attacks. That was fun.
Yojimbo Works well.

You just go through a hell of alot of funds summoning him to kill them all.

was lionheart the ultimate limit or was it heartbreaker?

[Lionheart1827]

was lionheart the ultimate limit or was it heartbreaker?

it was squall's final limit.

i forgot what heartbreaker was.:thumb:

[Happy]

Nope. Ultima is and it sucks.

You can get it from Tiamat also. I only found that out the other day.

[PAJJ]

Best move evar:thumb:

Wrong Omnislash owns the Lionheart. IMO VII's the best FF, if they re-made it it'd be the only game i'd pay full price for, i don't care if it's just a graphical update either.
Actually i'd probably go buy the new zelda on realse aswell.

[Happy]

I have to say Lionheart owns Omnislash. It hits for a lot more.

[Timm]

it was squall's final limit.

i forgot what heartbreaker was.:thumb:
heartbreaker was the second best limit of squall then
I think the name is way cooler though "Heartbreaker" :cool:

Actually i'd probably go buy the new zelda on realse aswell.
well you certainly have enough time to camp infront of the store :lol:


actually this isn't funny at all, I'm so looking forward to zelda tp :(

[crag]

Anyone going to buy Dirge of Cerberus?
what's its storyline in relation to VII?

all i know about this game is that you go Vincent:(

[Happy]

I haven't heard anything about Dirge of Cerberus.

[Chrysostom]

what's its storyline in relation to VII?

all i know about this game is that you go Vincent:(

Lemme see...basically it fleshes out Vincent's past, including Hojo's experiments on him, and his doomed love for Lucrecia.

It revolves around a section of SOLDIER known as the Deep Ground Soldiers who were created underground under Midgar. When Meteor strikes they get trapped and have now escaped, first revealing their existence by a raid on Kalm.

Vincy boy has something to do with them, probably from his days as a Turk, since they were formed under President Shinra's leadership. They are looking for him.

[Happy]

Sounds good. It being Square, I expect it to be good.

Yep. You can salvage a load of GFs that you missed from the Ultimecia Castle bosses.

/dark aeon talk

I got my copy of FFX the day it came out, and it's NA so I haven't heard of these, although I'm very interested. I got really bored once and put Rikku through Auron's, Wakka's and Tidus' sphere grid sections. Needless to say, she is my strongest character. :lol:

Auron has gone through basically the whole board except Rikku and Wakka's sections. Yeah, I put him through Yuna and Lulu's sections. :D

[Brew]

I remember trying to defeat the dark aeons, I got pwned multiple times.

on the subject of FFX, which sphere grid do you guys use?

[Happy]

The basic one most times.

[Chrysostom]

The basic one most times.

Yup same. I like the slightly larger degree of division between characters it allows.

[crag]

I remember trying to defeat the dark aeons, I got pwned multiple times.

on the subject of FFX, which sphere grid do you guys use?
the basic one, i never really understood how it worked.

[PAJJ]

Basic for the same reason as Mike, it gives the characters more divison, which is good when working through the games story elements.

[Happy]

the basic one, i never really understood how it worked.
You don't understand how the Sphere Grid works? I thought it was easier to understand than Junctioning and Materia.

[Chrysostom]

You don't understand how the Sphere Grid works? I thought it was easier to understand than Junctioning and Materia.

Yeah, I like it. Although Junctioning isn't at all complicated and Materia certainly isn't. The sphere grid is easy.

[Happy]

Junctioning was the most hardest thing to understand when I first played VIII. Mind you I was only 9.

[Chrysostom]

Mind you I was only 9.

Ah I had the advantage of age. I was 13/14.

[Lionheart1827]

Ah I had the advantage of age. I was 13/14.

Me too.:thumb:

[Chrysostom]

Me too.:thumb:

It's really not that hard. It can be annoying when you junction curative magic to your HP and then it goes down as you use up magic, but it's not hard to grasp.

[PAJJ]

I understood the junction system but because of the whole changing stat thing i usually stuck to standard attacks.
I do the same and just stick to attacks in x-2, a because of the nonsense of dress sphere/garment grids, a two because it's not strictly turned based i don't have time to work out what move i want to use and just attack as quick as possible.

[Chrysostom]

So in the interests of keeping the characters significantly different from one another, the FFX sidequests can go away this time round, I've decided. I'll do 'em next play through.

[MAthiAS]

Wise choice.

[Happy]

FFX doesn't really have that many sidequests does it?

[Chrysostom]

FFX doesn't really have that many sidequests does it?

Well no, but those it does have require all characters to be the same (ie beasted levels) which goes against my FF gaming philosophy. In fact, I may not do them second time round either.

Wise choice.

Thank you young sir.

[Kingofdudes]

FF gaming philosophy huh?

Isn't Dirge of Cerberus going to be an action/adventure game? I'm not sure if I'm going to pick it up. It's going to be released on ps2, yes?

FF XII looks pretty good, I've seen the trailer.

EDIT: Also, just in case any of you are FFVII fans, there a some more games coming off of it.

Derge of Cerberus (Game all about Vincent. Can't remember if it's set before or after Advent Children
There is also one (Can't remember the name) where you play as the Shin-ra and Turks side of the Final Fantasy 7 story.

Well apparently, though I'm unsure on the details (I'll find a link or summat) This is Vincents own game, it's after FF7 of course, not sre about Advent Children. Now, I know he is fighting someone "secret soldier" orginisation thing. (I've heard rumours of Sephiroth, I know Cloud,Cait Sith and Yuffie make an appearance, along with Tseng.) Hojo is in apparently, and.... here, I have found a link:

Dirge of Cerberus is set 2 years after AC.

And the Turk game is FFVII: Before Crisis, only available on your mobile phone and it isn't the Turk side of FFVII, as the name suggests it takes place before it and it's to do with the Turks vs. Avalanche (minus all the Avalanche members from FFVII).

I think it's jumping, this is FF we're on about.

My point exactly. If sin can do it, Vincent should be able to being a shinra vampire mako experiment.

The bit where he lands around Cloud and swoops off looks a helluva lot like flying to me. Apologies to those who havent seen AC yet.

It'll be jumping then. Oriental things have that strange jumping thing in them all the time. Like Crouching Tiger...

And Red's past isnt tortured?


Before Crisis

Born Nanaki, he is the last of a race whose sworn to protect their home Cosmo Canyon with their lives. Despite his fullgrown look and aloof persona, he is actually a teenager by his species' standards. Nanaki was told that his father, Seto, had run away during the war with the now-extinct Gi tribe, and he believed his father left them to fight on their own and was ashamed to be his son. When the Turks arrived on Cosmo Canyon, Nanaki's mother challenged them and lost her life as Nanaki himself was captured and taken to Shin-Ra headquarters. There, Professor Hojo referred to Nanaki by the codename "Red XIII" during his experiments. The nickname stuck when he joined Cloud's party in FFVII.


Final Fantasy VII

Red XIII as he appears in game.Red XIII joined Cloud's group while they were saving Aerith from Shin-Ra, who was trying to breed Aerith with him to preserve both sides of the dying species. When the group visits Cosmo Canyon, they meet the village elder Bugenhagen, whom Red XIII calls his grandfather. Here, Red XIII finds out the truth about his father. Seto actually fought the Gi tribe when they were attacking from a secret pathway but could not defeat all of them. Eventually he was turned into stone by the Gi Tribe's poison arrows. Finally knowing his true ancestry, Red XIII, with some prodding from Bugenhagen, gains the courage to rejoin Cloud's party for the rest of his journey, and he proves to be a valuable asset and friend.

Hey, I finally got Final Fantasy Anthology(PAL Edition) about a week ago and I have just finished FFIV. I was kinda disappointed about the end boss as it was way too hard to beat yet when I stole the Dark Matter it was too easy but still overall a great game. So anyway does anyone have the end FMV that was added on on the PSX edition? Obviously I have seen it but I have no way of watching whnever I like so if anyone knows where I could download it that would be great.

Also, who is shadow?

Red XIII > Vincent

[no_leaf_clover]

I say Vincent is the coolest charachter in FFVII. But not the best.

My "Kicking the feck out of the weapons team" consists of Cloud, Barret and Cid With the following set up:

Everyone level 4 limit, ultimate weapons.
Cloud Materia: 2xSummon, Mastered Knights of the Round, HP Plus Mastered, Restore Mastered (just for Regen).
Cid: Final Attack jointed with Phoenix (mastered), HP Plus (mastered), Restore (mastered) 4xCut.
Barret: Final Attack with Knights of the Round, HP Plus, Restore, Ultima.

Just in case any of you don't know the attack Aire Tam Storm (Materia backwords) does damage corresponding to how much Materia you have equiped on each charachter.
Example: I have 4 Materias on Cloud, meaning that Emerald will do a total of 4444 damage to him. Cid has 5, so it'l do 5555 to him. Just letting y'all know.

Woh that was buzzy, this morning I was walking to school listening to my ipod on shuffle listening to Nobuo Uematsu. And on the way to school I have to go through a small forest, over a park and through some like chaotic traffic-congestion bit.

And like 10 seconds after I entered the forest, Rustling Forest from the IX OST came on, then when I was walking across the park Blue Fields from VIII came on. It was cool.

During the congested traffic bit, Mods de Chocobo played as well, but I guess that doesn't match. :(

Cmon hes a cat if ever I saw one.

Head
You'll see it curves in at the mouth. Now look at a cat's head. You'll see it also curves in at the mouth.
Tail
Cat's use there tail to show there mood. When he was surprised/anrgy, it went straight etc.
Paws
Ever looked at a cat's paw, or a picture of a lions paw? Now look at Reds.
Body
Red has the sleak body, much like that of a cat. And has a shortish mane on his back.

And what about his victory dance? I must admit it's been a while since I played FF7, but unless I'm mistaken, Red washes himself. He licks a paw, and rubs it around his head, like cats do.
Plus he can roar!


Hes a Cat people!

And well done all those who though Red was the best character!

Wow. I preferred him as a dog.

Theres a great one on wiki but ill have to resize it.

Vincent is probably the coolest character from 7 but I thought his limit breaks were pretty useless because you lost all control, I still used him a fair bit though. Who do you guys think is the worst bad guy? Id have to say Golbez.

I think Kefka out of 6 is a ****er.

[Lionheart1827]

Kefka is one crazy sob.:thumb:

[MAthiAS]

I thought Kefka was unoriginal and pretty shatty.

[red barchetta]

unoriginal in what way?

[Happy]

I didn't think he was unoriginal, I just thought he wasn't that great of an enemy.

[red barchetta]

speaking of main villains, i wish they made Seymour into a real badass last boss for FFX. he wouldve been perfect for that role, not that stupid Yu Yevon

[PAJJ]

True Yu Yevon was a fool, the whole Jecht/Sin thing was also a bit ridiculous, Sin as a final boss would of been good, but suppose that doesn't fit the story, oh well.

Sephiroth ftw as best bad guy.

[crag]

i hated Seymour, couldn't stand his damn voice.

[Happy]

Yu Yevon was extremely disappointing I was like "WTF a spider?"

[PAJJ]

:lol: spider

My main problem with it minus the story was the ease of them, and couple of hits and gone, ok it's mainly my fault for going off on a little trip killing all the dark aeons etc, but still i had tidus doing 99,999 before any of that.

[Happy]

Yeah, the strength of the enemies was disappointing too. FFX needed to be longer, have better voices and better enemies.

[crag]

Yu Yevon was rather pointless to, considering you couldn't die.

[Happy]

You couldn't? It never got me down much health at all.

[PAJJ]

I never knew that because i killed him so quick, but FF final boses in general are usually pretty easy.

Better voices yes, Yuna always seemed a bit slow to me because of her voice, and also lip sync, is that too much to ask, i mean we wait long enough for the game, and others manage it.

all your characters had auto life from the start of the fight. so if anyone died they would automatically be brought back to life.

well, the game is originally japanese, so Yuna spoke Japanese. and her lips move in time with the japanese.

[MAthiAS]

unoriginal in what way?
It seemed he didn't have much motive or anything, he was just there, and for some reason he was the most evil guy in the world.

[Liberi Fatali]

It seemed he didn't have much motive or anything, he was just there, and for some reason he was the most evil guy in the world. And was incredibly easy to beat.

I disliked the way Final Fantasy IX did the same sort of thing with that final final boss. The only point behind them appeared to be to put further emphasis on the games main theme, rather than being a boss that you built up half the game for, like Ultemecia and other FF final bosses.

[Lionheart1827]

I always loved fighting Kefka in the last battle of the game. The way they setup 4 tiers and had the music change fluently (Dancing Mad destroys One Winged Angel by the way) was so awesome.:thumb:

[Liberi Fatali]

Yeah, he was a pretty wicked final boss.

[Happy]

I think she talked slow to try and make the lip-sync more in time with the English version.

[rippa32]

I have a problem. I have gotten a few FF midis because I love Nobuo's work. But I would like to convert them to MP3 for my MP3 player does anyone know how to do this?
