The Black Mage Village (Final Fantasy)

[Mister_Che]

Yep, junction everything except Meteor, max out Mag, and leave no unjunctioned magic and she can lay waste.

[fatbandit]

Its frightening how good she is when you do that. I've never met anyone else who realised you could do that though :p

[Mister_Che]

She is instrumental to my strategy on killing Omega. I prefer not to use The End on him.

[fatbandit]

I have the PC version. You can't press all the buttons at once on the keyboard -_-

I have an Xbox 360 controller I use for my emulator now though - don't know if I can configure it to work with FFVIII PC version or not. I don't fancy playing VIII all the way to the end just to find that out though :/

[Mister_Che]

Can't you bind one key to hit several keys on the computer settings? I've had to do that before.

[fatbandit]

I tried setting it so that I assigned the same key to every key on the PS pad. But it didn't work :(

[easylee]

just finished disc 2 for VIII

dont remember the bosses being so easy. took cerberus and edea out in a couple of hits

[fingers mccoy]

playing ffviii when you know what you're doing makes it very very easy

you end up healing bosses just to keep them alive while you try and mug their stuff or draw or whatever

it's pitiful

[easylee]

i wanted to mug edea for a hero but stupid diablos and his 9999 damage doing

[spitfirejunky]

Its frightening how good she is when you do that. I've never met anyone else who realised you could do that though :p

There are a number of FAQs that outline that strat, but I personally find it inconvenient to lose control of her with all the one-hit kills from Omega.

[fingers mccoy]

yeah it's cool to do that but you have so much more control with zell irvine and squall

[Anglachel]

i keep quistis in my party always because of tits

[easylee]

quistits

[IgniteYourAvail]

I remember 8 being the only FF game that I got 3 characters to 100 with. I think it was because EXP worked differently, like, every enemy gave the same amount of EXP or something.

[MAthiAS]

I think you only needed like 1000 exp for every level or something like that.

I liked VIII because you didn't have to grind beyond drawing, and there were other ways to get magic.

[FakePlasticTrees]

Drawing magic and the junk shops killed FFVIII for me.


I'm kinda tempted to give it another go since I've never completed it....ever.

[fingers mccoy]

finishing up levelling my perfect game characters on ix atm

found a fairly foolproof way of grinding against yans using the wait atb mode which means i can gain levels very quickly without having to pay much attention

thank **** for that

[fatbandit]

Grinding in IX wasn't fun. At all. So I gave up and just played the game. Granted, it wasn't a perfect game file.

Playing Vagrant Story at the moment. What a game. Now I finally understand the damage/weapon system, I'm totally hooked ^_^

[easylee]

trying to get the seifer and edea cards in 8 at the moment, getting pretty frustrating

[MAthiAS]

Drawing magic and the junk shops killed FFVIII for me.

That's certainly a terrible reason not to finish VIII because the game is amazing, although I agree junk shops were dumb. Still, I enjoyed getting those weapon magazines :cool:

[easylee]

whats wrong with the junk shops

[fingers mccoy]

since getting to the excalibur II i just play ix every now and then when i'm watching tv or taking a break from uni work

the point of doing all the grinding is getting the max stats that i worked so hard to preserve

if you max the spirit stat it basically makes you invincible cause regen heals you fully in about 3 seconds which is pretty cool

[Chrysostom]

Grinding in IX wasn't fun.

What's really annoying is that Garnet and Steiner disappear half way through and then come back under-levelled.

[fatbandit]

Steiner was my highest level character by the end I think. The characters I didn't use much (Amarant is seriously an awful character, I never use him) are all woefully underlevelled, but it doesn't matter at all. I really prefer it when you are forced to use a set number of characters. As long as none of them suck. I'd be happier with only 4/5 characters if they were good and complimented each other!

[easylee]

ff8 decides to stop working right after the lunar cry

awesome

wtf amarant's great

[Brew]

ff8 decides to stop working right after the lunar cry

awesome

at least yours doesn't stop working before it even gets to the opening FMV.

[easylee]

maybe but at least you didnt have to get your hopes up

bin/emulator shouldnt be doin this though

[fatbandit]

Have you been loading exclusively from save states? Or at least using them a lot?

I had a problem using an ISO on epsxe for FFIX when it would crash after viewing a cutscene. When I went back to an ingame save file instead of a save state, I cleared the cutscene and could carry on.

[easylee]

yeah ive been doing only save states/quick saves

[easylee]

i made a memory card and saved, then loaded from the memory card and it still doesnt work. everything else on the screen moves but squall wont

[FakePlasticTrees]

That's certainly a terrible reason not to finish VIII because the game is amazing, although I agree junk shops were dumb. Still, I enjoyed getting those weapon magazines :cool:



Well, I was really enjoying the game, but I got fed up of having to roam around to fight a monster to get parts for weapons. And it got more annoying if said monster didn't drop the part I needed. So that combined with Drawing magic really turned me off from the game.

[doki]

ff8 decides to stop working right after the lunar cry

awesome

played my ff8 on my psp and the exact same thing happen

[fatbandit]

Hmm. Maybe there's a corrupt ISO ding the rounds. Have you typed the problem into Google to see if anyone else has encountered/solved it?

[Happy]

no, its the real ending.

[doki]

with taking down ellone in a card battle as the final boss

[easylee]

gave up on 8 playin 7 instead

[Liberi Fatali]

Starting my own game of VII now that I've got a copy on my Ps3.

Man I hate going back to old PS games that used O as confirm/enter rather than X. Annoying.

[easylee]

yeah thats the first thing i change in the config. i like 8's control setup the most

vii is a lot more fun atm tbh. at least once you get out of midgar. at cosmo canyon right now n shi

also started VI seems pretty good so far

[Liberi Fatali]

You never played VI before? I always get bored around the bit where your party splits into three groups, but after that its smooth sailing.

I guess in pretty much every FF there is always a dull point or two, like in VIII with some of the Laguna flashbacks.

[Happy]

VIII's space bit was boring as hell.

[Brew]

The space bit made me stop playing VIII for almost a year while I went back and finished VII.

[Liberi Fatali]

Other than playing cards up there, I found that bit rather interesting. Probably because I'm really into the game and plot line by that point of the game.

[-Listy-]

it isnt THAT bad

[Liberi Fatali]

Equivalent point in X is the Sanubia Desert in the land of the Al Bhed. And in XII, the whole darn game.

[Happy]

The bit that made space terrible was the bit where you've got to save Rinoa.

Also, yes, the desert in X sucked. I found the trials just as bad though.

[easylee]

need more space final fantasy type stuff. it would've been way more awesome in 8 if you had to **** some **** up while up there

You never played VI before? I always get bored around the bit where your party splits into three groups, but after that its smooth sailing.

I guess in pretty much every FF there is always a dull point or two, like in VIII with some of the Laguna flashbacks.

i like the laguna ones but the orphanage stuff is way too argh. most of the flashbacks in VII piss me off and always happen at the time where i just want to hit **** with a sword and make tifa's boobs jiggle

[RetiredAt21]

Tifa's square and pixelated bewbs mmmm.

[easylee]

also aeris pisses me off because she sucks and she's going to die anyway so why even bother

[RetiredAt21]

Aeris does suck I hate the temple of the ancients because you're forced to use her worthless ***. Everything kills her in like 2 hits.

[Anglachel]

is it just me or does every other game seem to have a mellower soundtrack
at least earlier in the series idk

ff1s got some sick songs and its pretty upbeat all through
ff2 got a way slower main theme and everything seems calmer
3 is like 1
4 is like 2
5 was more upbeat than 4 but not like 3 or 1 (but it has battle on the big bridge so)
6 was sorta inbetween too but other than boss themes it didnt get much less upbeat than 5
idk IDK

[easylee]

battle music in 6 sucks

[RetiredAt21]

Pretty much everything else about 6 rules, though.

[easylee]

auto crossbow gives me a boner

[Jim]

i got half way through VI and my save ****ed up. i was really liking it too

ix is the only ff that doesn't have a boring bit for me. maybe when you go to terra actually. and i always wanted to rush through bermecia i guess

i stand corrected

[Happy]

Part of Terra were boring but the Kuja fight and the bit where everyone rejoins Zidane to the awesome music more than makes up for it.

[Jim]

i guess because you spend such little time there compared to everywhere else, i don't really care for it much.

[fatbandit]

VI really slows down at the end for me, in the world of ruin. I have got to the world of ruin and found the entire party 2 or 3 times, but never gone to finish it :/

[RetiredAt21]

auto crossbow gives me a boner

crap yeah! the chainsaw is pretty awesome, too.

[fatbandit]

Drill ftw.

[Anglachel]

VI really slows down at the end for me, in the world of ruin. I have got to the world of ruin and found the entire party 2 or 3 times, but never gone to finish it :/
wtf by the time you have the entire party it should be cake

[fatbandit]

boring cake.

[Anglachel]

nawwww id play through just to hear Dancing Mad at least

[Happy]

One of the best FF tunes ever.

[easylee]

at the point right after getting gau in VI liking game so far only problem is how long it takes to load some stuff

just finished the yuffie side quest in VII now i have to go temple of the ancients ugghhh

[RetiredAt21]

I've never really used Gau, he seems pretty useless. Gogo ftw.

[Anglachel]

You can get perfect stats with Gau

[easylee]

restarting 8 going to try and keep them at the original levels

[fingers mccoy]

restarting 8 going to try and keep them at the original levels

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh boi

[Room13]

started playing ix, lot better than i expected it to be so far

[RetiredAt21]

I like IX a lot.

[Chrysostom]

FFI is such a charming little game. Replaying on easy mode and loving it.

[RetiredAt21]

I can't get very far if I'm not playing easy mode, pretty brutal tbh.

[Crudo]

phoenix downs are so worthless in IX

its annoying

[FakePlasticTrees]

So, since I have nothing to do over the summer, I'm thinking about giving FFVIII another and you know, actually complete it.


Any advice to make the game enjoyable?

[-Listy-]

i didn't need any advice to enjoy it so can't help :lol: VIII is great.

how far did you get last time?

[fatbandit]

Don't overlevel unless you want the final boss to be a MASSIVE pain in the ***.

[FakePlasticTrees]

i didn't need any advice to enjoy it so can't help :lol: VIII is great.

how far did you get last time?


Umm, Can't remember honestly, it's been 10 years since I played it. I got far enough to get raped by an enemy casuse I had crap weapons and magic though. I think I got near to the end.

[Chrysostom]

I can't get very far if I'm not playing easy mode, pretty brutal tbh.

Yeah, I'd only ever use the team I've got now on Easy (Monk, Thief, WM, BM). Normal mode was pretty tricky sometimes, but I was using a tougher team (Warrior, Monk, RM, WM). By the end my Monk was owning everything with 10 hit attacks. Dem fists was flyin'.

[Crudo]

Don't overlevel unless you want the final boss to be a MASSIVE pain in the ***.

leveling up is really easy in VIII too

[MrConeman]

There's really nothing you can do about it - the final boss is always a pain in VIII. Unless you pull one of those strategies that make certain charecters basically invincible.

edit : meant VIII

[Crudo]

i accidentally stumbled into some area with a bunch of high level monsters in IX

there was a dragon and i was like ok cool and then it did some 3000+ attack and i just turned it off

[RetiredAt21]

There's really nothing you can do about it - the final boss is always a pain in VII. Unless you pull one of those strategies that make certain charecters basically invincible.

lol what? Sephiroth is a pushover.

[Crudo]

i think he meant VIII

[RetiredAt21]

Oh. I never even got past the first disc of VIII, got bored about 3-5 hours into it.

[MrConeman]

Yer I meant VIII sorry :p. Yeah Seph is a chinch.

[fingers mccoy]

i accidentally stumbled into some area with a bunch of high level monsters in IX

there was a dragon and i was like ok cool and then it did some 3000+ attack and i just turned it off

did you climb a ladder from moogles in a cave area to get to it? is it on a mountain ledge with forests?

wait til quina learns lvl 5 death

if you use it on them it's a one hit kill

[Crudo]

yeah

[fingers mccoy]

yeah they rape when you're still milling about on disc 1

while you're in that general area, if you go to a forest on the low lands (safest bit is near the chocobo forest) you can find these little sprouting onion things that use a move called 'chestnut'. Eat one and you'll learn a move called limit glove.

Later, in a place called 'cleyra', you'll find enemies called 'carrion worms' which are kind of like a red and green cross between a maggot and thomas the tank engine. Eat one of those and you'll learn 'auto-life'

the combination of those two moves can win you pretty much every boss fight up til about disc 3, and even then it's ridiculously powerful and will take any boss out in about three uses.

'limit glove' has to be used when quina has 1 hp: if that condition is met, it always does 9999 damage. 'Auto-life' makes it so that, if quina is killed at some point in the battle, she'll be revived once with 1 hp. So you can probably extrapolate from there.

[Crudo]

awesome

ive been getting screwed over a lot lately because monsters keep killing vivi n shi and every time i use a phoenix down they knock his *** back down

dunno why they made it so they're revived with like 3/300 hp so lame

[RetiredAt21]

I'd like to know who's decision it was to gimp phoenix downs in FFIX, **** was lame.

[fingers mccoy]

that's another point, if quina's ever revived with 1hp from a phoenix down and you have limit glove that's obviously something you can work into a battle strategy

oh and later on if you buy a coral sword steiner can learn a move called 'charge'. it makes everyone in the party deal damage based on the difference between their max and current hp, so it makes you ridiculously powerful if you've just used a phoenix down on everyone.

I think phoenix downs were made shitty because there are so many contingencies for injured party members to absolutely rape so there's a balance of risk and reward going on

but yeh, if you're at a low level, you absolutely have to rely on strategy and a degree of luck to get through them

[fatbandit]

I used barely any Phoenix Downs in my last playthrough of IX anyway. Once you have Auto-Regen, things get really easy :/

And also, I know that you can actually get Sephiroth up to about 400k HP for the final boss battle in VII, but by the time you do, he's just not a challenge because you're so ridiculously powerful by then. They needed to make him tougher even in the 'tougher' form.

[fatbandit]

but yeh, if you're at a low level, you absolutely have to rely on strategy and a degree of luck to get through them
And that's no bad thing. Its missing in a lot of games nowadays.

[RetiredAt21]

They make newer games too easy so anyone can make it through the game, pretty lame.

[fingers mccoy]

you talking about ff games?

i know people who had a lot of difficulties playing the last couple and i remember having to grind for at least one of the bosses in XII

[RetiredAt21]

I was talking about new games in general. FF X was ridiculously easy.

[fatbandit]

I like games where you actually have to think about what you're doing and use strategy to get through a hard boss, not just grind.

I played a solo character, no materia, initial equip game of VII, and you never appreciate how much stuff there is to use and exploit in the game until you do something like that.

Vagrant Story is excellent at this though - to the point that a lot of people give up on it and call it impossible because they don't grasp the system.

[RetiredAt21]

Vagrant Story was awesome, haven't played it in awhile, though.

[fatbandit]

I have been going through old school PS1 games like there's no tomorrow since I got an emulator for it. Great fun :)

[RetiredAt21]

I'm gonna play Chrono Trigger soon.

[fatbandit]

Never got round to Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross, but I feel like I should.

[RetiredAt21]

Definitely play Chrono Trigger.

[-Listy-]

i might download an emulator and play it again

[FakePlasticTrees]

How can I make drawing magic less of a pain?

[fingers mccoy]

is it a pain just because you can't be bothered or because you're drawing very little at a time?

The amount of magic you can draw per turn is calculated by your magic stat. If you can boost your magic stat high enough you can draw 9 magics per turn fairly easily, so put your best magic in that junction slot.

The magic stocked by your enemies is determined by their level, which is determined by the average level of your party. So if you're at a low level they'll have poopty magics. Gain levels with one character and the quality of magic you can draw with a party based around that character will increase.

[Turkish]

I never worried about drawing magic in that game, the only time I would use draw when the boss was carrying a GF. Other than that I would use item refine to refine items down to magic. You do that early in the game and spend a little time farming, you can get some big stat boosts and have an edge early on in the game.

[fingers mccoy]

yeah you can refine waters from fish fins i think which are yielded by fastitocalons at the very first beach you come across

water is much more powerful than anything else at that point if you're low level

there are some battles I'd recommend drawing in tho. Meltdowns, Meteors, Triples, Status magic are all extremely useful and help you avoid grinding.

[Turkish]

Haha yep, you know what I'm talking about.

[RetiredAt21]

I don't like the junction system tbh. :/

[Crudo]

I was talking about new games in general. FF X was ridiculously easy.

sphere grid was so stupid

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah it was pretty dumb.

[Crudo]

ugh could have easily beat beatrix, stupid game and needing her alive for the plot

[RetiredAt21]

Beatrix is such a hot bitch tbh.

[Crudo]

i'd like to poke her other eye out

[Jim]

Beatrix is such a hot bitch tbh.

yesyesyesyesyes

[RetiredAt21]

got dem big ol' fun bags yeeeeeeeya

[JonG]

been playing the dawn of souls make on GBA i think

just beat Shinryu in the lifespring grotto

took forever...35k hp





<------kvlt post count

[Chrysostom]

Beatrix is such a hot bitch tbh.

And she ends up with Steiner. Unlucky, Bea.

[Crudo]

dude spoilers **** that ****

[Chrysostom]

dude spoilers **** that ****

Damn, sorry man. When you said "stupid game and needing her alive for the plot" I assumed you'd played through the game already. I've come across lots of spoilers by venturing into this thread, they never ruined the game/s for me, but I guess I'd have preferred not to see 'em. It's enter at your own risk, around here.

[Happy]

only because they are fused together by Bonermagic.

[Crudo]

i wanna make dagger's outfit white

[Chrysostom]

Why's that?

[fingers mccoy]

why, to represent her virgin purity, au naturalement!

[Crudo]

idk i was talkin bout seedin her up

[Chrysostom]

The real important Garnet (I refuse to use Dagger - see below) questions are:

1. Why the hell did she choose such a dumb pseudonym, and such a dumb way of coming up with it?

*MINI-SPOILER ALERT - THAT MEANS YOU CRUDO!*









2. Long hair or short?

[Crudo]

ive already seen pix of her with short

id say long

also i was considering going with a different name for her but changing the names is stupid i only do it with red XIII

[Chrysostom]

also i was considering going with a different name for her but changing the names is stupid i only do it with red XIII

I agree name changes are generally stupid. I don't even change Red XIII's. Or do I take the XIII off? I forget. Although I have been tempted to stick with Garnet before, except that makes the whole "Zidane what's this weapon called?" scene pointless, and I refuse to do that.

[Crudo]

i changed red to nanaki because it's a lot less stupid

[Chrysostom]

i changed red to nanaki because it's a lot less stupid

I'd be prepared to do that if the name change option came up after you learn his real name, or if he told you it during the scene in the shinra lab. As it is you don't find out he's called Nanaki until Cosmo Canyon, and it seemed silly to me to pre-empt the story.

[Crudo]

yeah i forgot about that part and the characters were like "who's nanaki? oh nanaki is nanaki"

[MrConeman]

yeah i forgot about that part and the characters were like "who's nanaki? oh nanaki is nanaki"

I did this the second time I played the game and lol'd

[fatbandit]

Doesn't the guy say Nanaki is Nanaki whether you call him Nanaki or Red XIII? It's been a while, I'd need to double check that.

And I rename Red XIII Nanaki, and keep Garnet as Garnet. As you can't rename Red after that plot point (I feel you should be able to), and more of the game happens with him after that point, it just seems a better option to pre-empt the game in that respect to me. As for Garnet, Dagger is just a ridiculous name.

[Happy]

kicking arse at FF VII
Cloud level 45 going to Temple of Ancients.

[Chrysostom]

As for Garnet, Dagger is just a ridiculous name.

All I'm saying is, it's a good job Zidane doesn't use his penis as a weapon.

"Zidane, what's this called?"

"That's a wang"

"Oshi..."

[Crudo]

kicking arse at FF VII
Cloud level 45 going to Temple of Ancients.

i think cloud is at 43 right now but im too lazy to bother with the temple atm

[Happy]

It is probably one of the most boring parts of the game.

[Brew]

yet has some of the best music in the game

[fatbandit]

I quite like the Temple of the Ancients. None of it quite lives up to Midgar though IMO.

[Crudo]

the beginning in midgar is the worst part of the game

[Happy]

Its very slow I agree. I also find I have a major lack of gil to spend in shops up until Temple of the Acients.

[Mister_Che]

Its very slow I agree. I also find I have a major lack of gil to spend in shops up until Temple of the Acients.

Really?

1) Grind a little
2) Sell stuff like Grenades, Bomb Arms, etc.
3) Only buy 2-3 of the most up to date armor. No need for everyone to have Mythril Bangles when you can only have 3 people in a party
4) Learn the locations of weapons: Hardedge from SOLDIER in Shinra Tower, Motor Drive in Costa Del Sol Basement, etc.
5) Master and All Materia and sell it. Easy cash from that.

And so on, and so on.

[fatbandit]

Its not slow at all - something is always happening, and interesting/amusing things like the 'dress Cloud as a woman' part. I don't know, it just had a nice amount of character to it. Then the Shinra tower seems pretty big and epic, only for you to get out onto the World Map, and see how small Midgar is compared to the whole world. I found that quite an exciting prospect. Yet no other location has as much depth as Midgar.

Agreed.

[Chrysostom]

I always enjoyed re-infiltrating Midgar. Being a kid at the time, I really felt like I was doing something epic and heroic.

[MAthiAS]

Midgar at the beginning was seriously awesome. The atmosphere getting into the game is just incredible. I mean come on, you're part of an eco-terrorist cell that organizes in the basement of a bar, how cool is that.

Temple of the Ancients was sick too, I just like the visual effect of that main area with all the paths.

[Mister_Che]

Plus it had some funky music.

Absolutely agreed. There's no other location in the game that isn't just there to walk through. Excusing Cosmo Canyon, Nibleheim and Junon maybe.

[Crudo]

i am not convinced

[Mister_Che]

I really wish every location was as large. They didn't have to be as fleshed out storywise, but just have lots of areas to explore and lots of NPCs to talk to.

[Crudo]

i wish 8 had more cities

[Happy]

Weapon's death at Junon is hilarious.

[MrConeman]

Hilarious how?
I think I've lost my FF7 disc 1 :(:(:(

[Happy]

He gets shot in the face by a massive cannon!

If you've got a PS3 its worth just buying it off the PSN, no more looking for discs.

[MrConeman]

I'm on my PS3 right now to post (pc's broke), and considered it, but I just can't bring myself to pay for data with nothing tangible.

Problem solved anyway, I mentioned it to a friend of mine and he has 2 copies ( his disc 2 broke, so he bought a new copy ) and he's giving me his spare disc in about 10 minutes, score :)

[RetiredAt21]

I want a PS3 remake of VII. I would poop if they did that.

[Happy]

Its been debated for so long that I don't think it will ever happen, sadly.

[MrConeman]

I think that because of the obscene amount of money a remake of that game would comand, and the obvious demand for it to be done, they would be stupid not do it. It's been stated by the squeenix head honcho that they're going to continue making FFVII product (games, movies, anime, dvd's, books whatever) until the 20th anniversary of the game.

So it's quite possible they'll do a remake.. on whatever console is the most suitable at the time, and they have plenty of time for that deadline.. (20th anniversary of FFVII being 2017)

[FakePlasticTrees]

Its been debated for so long that I don't think it will ever happen, sadly.

Considering the insane amount of revenue that game will make, I find it hard to believe that a remake won't happen.

[RetiredAt21]

Being able to fight a new weapon would be awesome. Hopefully if they ever do actually make the remake of VII I'd hope that they add some new stuff.

[Crudo]

i think square should stop making retarded presequels and remakes and make a ff game that isnt like a half assed mmorpg

[Aaron]

presequel? wtf is that?

[Meatplow]

its like a prequel

but to a sequel

[Aaron]

So the original? :lol:

[RetiredAt21]

i think square should stop making retarded presequels and remakes and make a ff game that isnt like a half assed mmorpg

I agree. Their games aren't even real rpg's anymore, **** is reatarded. They are straying too far from their roots.

[Happy]

They've got to evolve and make the new games appealing, which is probably working for all the younger fans but all us older fans feel as if they're getting worse.

[RetiredAt21]

They wouldn't be anywhere without their older fans, though. If they keep going in the direction I think they're going, FFXIV will be a FPS.

[Happy]

I doubt it will go that far but will be more action/adventure than FPS. Which sucks balls.

[RetiredAt21]

I was kidding of course, but yeah you see what I'm saying.

[Crudo]

i like the idea of being able to see monsters n shi roaming around and choosing to encounter them but the mmorpg style of fighting is lame

Yeah those kinds of battle systems always blow hard.

I would like the battle system of FFX but yeah being able to see your enemies would be pretty cool.

[Crudo]

huh

[RetiredAt21]

idk

[Crudo]

nvm read it wrong

[RetiredAt21]

The older games had more interesting characters, too.

[Crudo]

they all have basically the same characters tbh

[RetiredAt21]

Some characters are the same but not all of them. VI had pretty cool characters.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I'd like more cities and towns. I've always felt that the world in lets say, VII was pretty barren.

[RetiredAt21]

And have the towns be a little more varied, they are all pretty much the same just with a different appearance.

[Crudo]

they should try making a ff that doesnt involve saving the world

but then square enix might blow up

[RetiredAt21]

And some dude is always trying to become god or something.

[FakePlasticTrees]

Or how about they make a game where you play the bad guy.

[Crudo]

no you can only do that for five minutes max per ff game

[FakePlasticTrees]

that'd suck.



I'd love to play the anti-hero for once.

[RetiredAt21]

i want 2 b sephiroth!

[Chrysostom]

FFXIV will be a FPS.

You know it's been announced, with a trailer floating around the internet, right? And it's another MMORPG like XI.

[RetiredAt21]

Clearly I was kidding.

[Chrysostom]

Clearly I was kidding.

yeah well, I knew you weren't serious about the possibility of an FFPS (see wut I did there?) but I wasn't sure if you were genuinely ignorant of the announcement of FFXIV.

[RetiredAt21]

OK FFXV will be a FPS, I've made my prediction.

[Turkish]

I will cry babies if that happened

[RetiredAt21]

I figure it's only a matter of time before it actually does happen.

[Chrysostom]

It sort of did with Dirge of Cerberus.

[RetiredAt21]

I thought that was 3rd person?

[Chrysostom]

It was also possible to play through it as an FPS. I never did.

[Happy]

I preferred the third person to the FPS.

Owning at the Gelinka atm.

[Crudo]

i hope they make a ff game with disney characters

[Brew]

wasn't that essentially what Kingdom Hearts was?

[fatbandit]

Conversely, Kingdom Hearts was awesome. As a game, it was better than FFX IMO.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I hope they make a ff game with a main character that doesn't look highly feminine.

[Happy]

They already did :-/

And Kingdom Hearts was much better than any FF after IX. No idea about the sequels though.

[Anglachel]

I hope they make a ff game with a main character that doesn't look highly feminine.
I thought Cecil wasnt until the ****ing ds remake now I always think hes slightly gay

Also Firion in the opening cinematic for FF2 rereleases he doesnt look anything like his sprite but he still looks gay

Bartz doesnt seem to be ruined in Dissidia though

[lain_lain]

Cecil does look pretty girly though I didn't play the Ds remake, I saw the opening sequence....Kain looked kool tho.

My fav FF games are VII and X even though Cloud was kinda psychotic and Tidus was mostly clueless lol. Besides the storylines, the soundtracks are probably the next big reason why they're my fav though.

[Crudo]

best male ff characters are cid highwind and auron

[RetiredAt21]

Don't forget SEPHIROTH.

[Anglachel]

____ highwind is the coolest character in FF_

[RetiredAt21]

I liked Cecil before he turned into a puss.

[Anglachel]

yeah

Kain still rules though

[RetiredAt21]

Yerp Kain is a bro.

[Chrysostom]

Also Firion in the opening cinematic for FF2 rereleases he doesnt look anything like his sprite but he still looks gay

Yeah this is total bull. Someone at Squenix didn't think this through. Annoys the hell out of me.

best male ff characters are cid highwind and auron

Vincent and Auron.

[FakePlasticTrees]

How much does it cost to buy FFVII off of the PSN?

[Anglachel]

Yeah this is total bull. Someone at Squenix didn't think this through. Annoys the hell out of me.



Vincent and Auron.
HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE BANDANA

z

[Crudo]

Vincent

i guess if u frequent hot topic

[RetiredAt21]

Anime nerds love Vincent, too.

[Jamais_Vu]

Barret is probably my favorite FF character, and I like Cid Highwind a lot as well. Squall was probably my favorite main character...but I'm not sure why. Note that I've only played 7,8,10, and 12.

[RetiredAt21]

Barret was my introduction to ebonics.

[Anglachel]

squall was a whiny cunt

bartz and edgar

[RetiredAt21]

Edgar got mad poon.

[Anglachel]

cuz Edgar was a born playa

people with 2 headed coins always are

[Crudo]

squall had leather pants and 90% of his text was (...every1 expex so muhch from me this suxx fukn faggots)

[Jamais_Vu]

Ok, Squall was not my favorite main character, lol, but he did have the coolest final limit break. Cloud was cool for his random shoulder shrugs and when he became retarded. Tidus was a loud mouth and the guy from 12, I can't even remember his name because he was such a boring character.

[Anglachel]

bartz was just some random dude who turned out to have a dad who saved the world with some other people and travels around with 3 princesses

who knows what the game doesnt tell you

[Crudo]

vi is lame

[Anglachel]

why

[RetiredAt21]

vi is lame

wuuuuuut?

[Crudo]

why

becuz the ppl aint even 3d

[Anglachel]

but every time someone gets made 3d they turn into androgynous fags

[Crudo]

ya but 2d bitches is flat

[Happy]

Squall was cool towards the end of the game and he got to bone Rinoa. But so did Seifer.

Just destroyed the Ultimate weapon, I don't remember him being so lame...

And everyone laughs too much in the FF games. >:[

[Brew]

ha ha! ha ha! ha ha! ha ha!

[Happy]

stop that stupid horse laugh!

[RetiredAt21]

ya but 2d bitches is flat

liek little girlz :naughty:

[Brew]

stop that stupid horse laugh!


ha ha!
ha ha!
ha ha!
ha ha!
ha ha!
ha ha!
ha ha!

[Happy]

You're missing some Gwah's.

Anyone here on Playfire?

[Chrysostom]

You're missing some Gwah's.

Heidegger has the best laugh in any FF.

[Mister_Che]

Gyah ha ha ha ha

gyah...

[Chrysostom]

Wasn't Scarlet's laugh a variation on a (Shinra) theme? Kyah ha ha ha. Or something.

[Liberi Fatali]

Starts getting good around 2 minutes.

And the Japanese version is even more unnatural somehow!

[Chrysostom]

Gah, single worst scene in any FF.

Hey Blood+, good stuff man. Need to start watching that from the start again.

[Crudo]

playing IV right now liking it a lot more than the other snes ones havent had to play iwth 30 different parties yet!

[Liberi Fatali]

Hey Blood+, good stuff man. Need to start watching that from the start again.

Yeah, its a pretty good series. Watched all the episodes? Didn't like some of the elements of the plot and the way some relationships were developed, but nevertheless enjoyable to watch.

[RetiredAt21]

playing IV right now liking it a lot more than the other snes ones havent had to play iwth 30 different parties yet!

Where are you at in it?

[Crudo]

right after tellah's daughter gets her *** killed

[Happy]

I got bored of VII :(

VIII looks really tempting now.

[Crudo]

these beatrix battles are lame

[Pop music sucks]

but every time someone gets made 3d they turn into androgynous fagsThat's cause Japanese pop culture has a hard-on for androgyny.

[Crudo]

music in ix is so good

[RetiredAt21]

Zidane wasn't androgynous he was just a boring douche.

[Crudo]

better than 7 and 8's "wahhh this sux woe is me" main characters

[RetiredAt21]

Yeah he wasn't whiny and angsty but he was so ****ing boring.
