I don't really like Final Fantasy.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

*posts because he has to, seeing as its Final Fantasy

Err....er....errr......Not long till FF3 released to the UK now. Thats a start

[PoisonParadox]

I've never liked it.

[Brew]

Are they releasing it by itself or with another game?

I need to get round to getting the first two games sometime.

[Rusty Metal Head]

Im a bit anoyyed that the new movies only gonna be realesed for the psp...not dvd

[Big-Bird]

besides FF3, FF7 was the best in my opinion

[Adam Jones is GOD]

By itself for the GBA Dual Screen.

This is the first time we get the full translated version

Wha? So this means I'm going to have to fork out £100-ish for the new Game Boy to be able to play it legally?

Dang.

[Shadowwynd]

Favourite FF game has to be FF6.. Never completed it, only got to the half way point lol, could never get past the island.

Other than that FF5 was amazing, again never completed it :upset:

7 was good

8 was well not bad from where i got to but others say it was crappy

9 seems cool need to play more though

10 and x-2 were brilliant games! nice grphics pretty good story, and if you can put up witht he powerpuff moments in X-2 the job system was nicly restored/revamped


FF1 still kicks arse though


Infact FF > almost all other RPG games :D (i say almost becasue i still love Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross!)

[Shadowwynd]

You have the same view as my friend, mentioned new game coming out on the DS and he said "**** does that mean im going to have to buy one now?"

Whats wrong with you people lol! Ive waiting since the N64 came out for handheld 3d gaming.. now its almsot here.. With 2 screens! aswell as other interesting features..


But hopefully if they doing FF3 (they have done FF1&2 on the GBA) they will do the others too, aswell as things like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Evermore, classic games.

[Joe Average]

Final Fantasy 7 is my favorite game of all time, propably because it was my first computer game ever.

[Mr. Ron]

besides FF3, FF7 was the best in my opinion
123 Square-enix have yet to bring back the greatness of FF7.

[Kingofdudes]

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

Just wait, they are working on many FF7 sequels at the moment.

I just started to play Final Fantays Tactics again, such a great game :D

Aye, but when you have little to no money, you kinda get stuck with that view.

I'll probably end up buying the new Game Boy about 6months after its release.

[GibsonRokr]

My fav has always been ff7...well except before it came out

[Iai]

FF7 is the best. I'd say 9 just behind.

X and X-2 sucked. Except for the Battle Arena in the former.

[GuitarMang]

Final Fantasy is the best series ever in a game, no game has as many classic games as the FF series. I dont think it was smart with Number 11 for Pc but #12 will be sick.

[wonder_steve]

My favourite is number 8.

[Brew]

I liked the junction system in VIII, it allowed for quick and easy ways to make your characters stronger. It could get time-consuming though.

[Cybergasm]

I can't wait for FF12... I think they should have released a non-online version of FF11, since not every FF fan can afford the online one... :upset:

[SptsNaz]

Anyone play FF tactics. It's one of my favorite PSX games, despite the steap learning curve and short length.

No, actually I'm talking about the original one for PSX. Not sure about the Gameboy one, but I've heard some good things about it too

[Brew]

^Yeh, I was wondering if the GBA version is anything like the PSX version.

Its on my mental ''to-get'' list that I probably won't end up gettting for ages.

[GuitarMang]

FF Tactics was best FF. iv beat every FF, ask me a question about anyone of the games, i know all the stories, gameplay, ect. and i know Tactics was the best. Greatest story in a video game every.. honestly i almost cried playing it. :)

[wonder_steve]

My mental ''to-get'' list is getting pretty big.

Mine's huge, and the odds of getting everything are really crappy.


On topic, I'm coming close to finishing FFIX, I'm on disc 4 where you can wander around doing your own thing for ages before facing the final bosses.

The longest part of any FF game, pre boss.

[Brew]

^I've got to them before, I managed to get to the last dude (is his name Necron? I forget) and he always whooped me.

[ToRidTheDisease]

I think it's very boring, the combat is just so slow, and I can't stand the pre-rendered graphics.

[frontsideflip4u]

i read an article about square-enix talking about re-doing ff7 on playstation 2 format.

[Brew]

i read an article about square-enix talking about re-doing ff7 on playstation 2 format.

I heard a rumour about FF7 Gold, where they basicly re-made FF7 with Ps2 graphics.

[RIPJoeStrummer]

Best series ever. No question.

[GuitarMang]

9 had like 20 pre bosses lol. and i think when i played it was the water boss that was the hardest. the red guy (kujo i think, final boss, i beat easily) was like most FF where the final boss is not always teh toughtest battle. ex, ruby weapon, emerald.

[Praiz]

I've only played FF7, 8, 9, X, and X-2
Completed FF7, 8, 9 , and X

Without a doubt FF7 was the best with such a great storyline. I then liked X the best followed by 9 then 8. FF8 was in no ways bad. It was a great game, just the worst of the other Final Fantasies.

[SptsNaz]

I heard a rumour about FF7 Gold, where they basicly re-made FF7 with Ps2 graphics.

I would be sold. I think one of the drawbacks of FF7 was the graphics (at least compared to 8). I know it came out earlier but still

[Shadowwynd]

Aye, but when you have little to no money, you kinda get stuck with that view.

I'll probably end up buying the new Game Boy about 6months after its release.


Ah yeah i see your point.. i currently have £5 to my name lol so im kinda broke but i should (by the time it comes out over here) have enough money to buy it yay!


And im pretty sure although not 100% that the GBA FF tactics was a remake of the playstation one..

[SptsNaz]

And im pretty sure although not 100% that the GBA FF tactics was a remake of the playstation one..

Not even close

Although I don't own the GBA version, I know they are two completely different games based on the same concept

[wonder_steve]

What exactly is final fantasy tactics?

[GuitarMang]

Its a tactic game that takes skills, you need to strategize each battle meaning, if ur a person who jsut wants to kill kill kill as fast as u can. not the game for u!

[SptsNaz]

What exactly is final fantasy tactics?

Its a somewhat strategy-based final fantasy with some rpg aspects incorporated (half and half I guess). Just google it or something

[Kingofdudes]

Is it like the Gameboy Advance version of the game?

I've been thinking about buying it for awhile.

It is MUCH better than the GBA version. Great music, story, and battle system :thumb:

[Kingofdudes]

I heard a rumour about FF7 Gold, where they basicly re-made FF7 with Ps2 graphics.

They were working on remakes of 7,8, and 9, but they have been put on hold for the moment. Unless they have decided to start it up again recently and I didnt hear about it.

RPG's ARE NOT about the graphics. Allthough it is a plus, the story line and character develpoment is key to a good RPG.

That's kind of stating the obvious, isn't it? Graphics are an add-on, so as I was saying, if they were ever to remake FF7 on PS2 I would buy it. I would never reject an rpg solely due to graphics... some of my present favorite rpg's are on SNES

[GuitarMang]

Did anyone enjoy the final fantasy movie?

[GuitarMang]

It was mediocre (that how u spell it?) :)

[wonder_steve]

Was it based on one of the video games or was it a new storyline?

[Praiz]

I watched it and didn't think it had ANYTHING to do with the series considering each game has a new enemy, story, and set of characters. Final Fantasy Movie was about a bunch of wierd ghost things killing everyone on the earth. I was confused by it.

I was confused as well, during the entire movie I was waiting for Squall to come on screen and open up a can of whoop a*s on the phantom's.

[crossface]

my personal favorite was final fantasy tactics, best storyline, and one of the best strategy rpg's.

i cant wait for FF12... i wish it wont be like FFX-2... that game sucked

[crossface]

Did anyone enjoy the final fantasy movie?

Final fantasy: the spirits within, sucked... and was overhyped.
and like another poster said, it had nothing to do with anything from any Final fantasy games.

there was another Movie... Final fantasy: Advent Children
the story was based a few years after the aftermath of what happened at Final Fantasy 7. The main story character is Cloud! and there were some flashbacks at his past(sepiroth etc.) I saw some of the trailer and some screenshots, and it was awesome.

[Mr. Ron]

Did anyone enjoy the final fantasy movie?

Advent children? Is it in the US yet? I'm dying to see it! Probably crappy voice overs though....

[Spectrum]

Final Fantasy is, in my opinion, one of the greatest game series around, up there with the Zelda series and the Metroid series etc. In fact, I would get a PS2 simply to own all the FF games. But anyway.

I think that VII was amazing, VIII's been pretty good, XII looks awesome, and Tactics for the PS was brilliant. Honestly, Tactics was an RPG masterpiece. Compelling, sometimes confusing storyline, great strategy and solid roleplaying elements mad ethe game absolutely fantastic. In case everyone didn't know, you can actually get Cloud (one of the coolest FF guys ever) in your party by buying flowers from a flower in some town and going on doing as arseload of sidequests from there on. No lie.

I am also interested in FFXI, but I a)don't have a computer that's up to it and b)don't have a life already and c)do enjoy getting a little sleep at night.

Oh, and I saw some trailer action for the FFVII movie involving Cloud, and I am stoked.

-Mike

[JmE]

This reminds me, I never did beat FFX-2. I just kind of lost interesting towards the end, and I was right at the last stage of the game too! The game is okay, but nothing ground breaking. I'm really looking forward to 12.

[Spectrum]

Oh, and for those that were asking earlier, FF Tactics Advance is very similar to Tactics, but the battle system has a Judge that enforces restrictive rules. In every match, there will be at least one thing you can't do without being penalized. For everything illegal thing, there is a bonus points counterpart. With the addition of Judges also comes Judge Points, which allow you to use really special moves (more like victory-ensuring blasts) and Combos. You get a bonus judge point for a character using a recommended skill/thing/whatever, but you get penalized or sent to jail (depending on severity) for breaking the rules. There are also Law and Anti-Law cards that can be found and traded to change fights in your favor. It's a very quest-oriented game, and you can be running many quests at once. It has a more non-linear feel, though having a direct storyline (pretty good story) - it's more free-roaming than PS Tactics. It's a pretty solid game.

[E sharp]

drawing magic in ff8 pissed me off so i stopped playing after 30min.
nevertheless, ff7>ff10-2>ff10>ff9>ff8
i've never played the others.

[sleepy1212]

VII>X>X-2>IX>VIII

There you go. I haven't bought the online version. It may be a long while if VII get's remade or a new one (XII ?) comes out; is there a XII on the way? I have 7-X2 and I loved VII for the story, best one ever. I also liked the weapon upgrade system better with the materia and all, sort of like X and X-2 with slots. I hated the systems in 8 and 9. Battle in X-2 was awesome, I like the movement and rotation.

Biggest peeve: Yuna and company in an all girl pop group? Gayness added to even queerer cutscenes and dialogue.

My favorite character was that little wizard thing in IX. I forget all the names cuz I always rename my characters.

Has anyone beaten X-2 (100%)? I beat it once but never replayed it to get what I'd missed. I was thinking about starting it over again as soon as the semester starts winding down (almost done with Dark Cloud 2 -another good RPG); either that or playing VII again.

Favorite series ever :thumb:

[Spectrum]

The black mage from IX is the man.

Anyone who hasn't yet, I demand that you go out and but PS FF Tactics NOW. It is a seriously great game.

[frontsideflip4u]

yeah that was lame i dont think anyone here liked the way 8 was setup... the gunblade thing was cool where you had to pull the trigger but besides that it was pretty lame.

[Raiven]

I've played every game since the original on nes onwards. It's all good.

[rising_fury]

i've noticed that many of the people on this thread don't even mention the snes games, just ps onward. despite the fact that none of them have been as good as 3

[Ubershrift]

what was the hardest game in your opinions? i think ff8 because it was the only game here were levelling up made things harder because enemies levelled up with you.

my little trick was to keep everyones health low and keep resurecting them with pheonix downs so i could contantly use limit breaks like renzokuken. It was the only way i could beat that Ultima weapon.

and yes another trick i fell across from playing it way too much as a kid was that you could get almost everything you wanted right at the start of the game in balamb garden if you got a huge amount of time on your hands. You can get every card up to page 5 or 6 and then some if you play people and come across them and one of your GF's gets the abilities to turn cards into objects and magic. This means you can get some rare items at this point just by collecting cards, and therefore get the best magic to junction to your abilities, best weapons for each of your characters, and the best everything. Thing is though you DON'T want to level up. So just card fish down by the shore you get all the AP you want to level up your GF's with no exp for your characters. This isn't really cheating if it's there to abuse right?

[Burning inside]

Has anyone defeated the Metal Spider on FFVIII?

You know, when you have gone to Dollet on your SeeD test? I have come close a few times but never done it.

[Ubershrift]

actually thats an interesting question. i have done it yes all you get is 100ap and a random item one that is sometimes the item that teaches quistis ray bomb. however it does not seem possible to defeat it the first time you face it after it jumps off the tower. it just will not die. even if i use the method i posted above, where i have had the best limit breaks, weapons and junctioned magic for all my characters, it does not die. if anyone has beaten it in that first confrontation i would like to know.

the second time you fight it they way i beat it was that i had the second best weapon i could find for squall, some random magic that boosted my str stat huge and kept my health low. ihad one chracter use pheonix downs on squall if he died and the other use thundara or quezacotl i dun remember. then i jus hit it with renzokukens and thunder, the idea here being to wipe it out before it recharges while its unconcious on the ground, not to simply knock all its hit points off over time. you can kill it in seconds depending on how powerful you are, but i don't think it is possible to beat it the first time

[Burning inside]

Cheers :)

*goes upstairs and starts to play FFVIII*

[Ubershrift]

no sweat, i ain't played it for years myself

[Volkert314]

FF VII is my favorite cause of the story line and the characters. Although FF X is up there as well.

Acutally, does anyone on here play FF XI?

[Cyonidedrum]

i need to buy ff7

[Cecillianne]

I own 7, 8, 9 and X. Only one I didn't finish was X. I didn't like playing blitzball, partly because I suck'd at it :( It kind of made me lose interest in the game itself. twas a pity, I owned at the card games in 8 and 9.

7's storyline = pure genius.
8 = loved the gunblade. I still think Lionheart is the coolest weapon ever.
9 = Heh Vivi was cute. Garnet was :naughty:

I'd love to pick X back on, someone should give me random tips :)

[ventura]

I don't like the direction it's heading.

I played (thanks to ROMS), and loved almost every Final Fantasy. I didn't like 8, 10, and I don't want to bother with that online one.

Seven was amazing, my favorite in the series. Nine comes in second followed by six. I can't wait for the Advent Children movie to come out. :D

[Cecillianne]

X is pretty good. It's just frusrating that I couldn't win a single blitzball game :mad:

[Zmev]

ff7 = one of my favorite games ever, that game had it all, story, characters, gameplay, just so awesome all around

ff8 was cool too, but possibly about a level below ff7.

ff9 was good but i never finished it, i just got too confused/frustrated wih some crap.

ffX was good, the graphics went all out but I didn't understand why Tidus had to be such a pussy

"Oh no Yuna hurt herself/its hot out/my tights are too tight/my tampons in the wrong way! WaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHHH"

but still a fun game

[Volkert314]

Cause if you play the entire game he starts to change the way he is. He was a cocky little kid that wanted things his way and he loses that by the end. It was something different from the other games.

[sleepy1212]

Has anyone defeated the Metal Spider on FFVIII?

You know, when you have gone to Dollet on your SeeD test? I have come close a few times but never done it.

I never had any problems with that spider. I've played VIII twice. I think I never had problems with it because I waste ungodly amounts of time in every area fighting and collecting items. Usually my characters are at much higher levels in the earlier stages (I checked up on it in gamefaqs.???). I don't think I've ever spent less than 100 hours on the first two discs of any of those games except maybe on the first time I played them.

How I usually play ff games:

1st time: play through without worrying about secrets, ultimate weapons, etc...except what I find randomly or using my experience from playing FF -sort of like an instinct thing; you just get used to the way these games are set up and it gets easier to figure things out on your own.

2cnd time: play through like it's my life. If all else fails, use the interent for tips (above).

[-Listy-]

Cant believe ive never seen this thread :amaze:
Fave is FF7, story, music, characters, i got so sucked into it, my fave game ever
FF8 is still amazing, the card game is so addictive :lol:
FF9 was great, nice story and characters, although the card game sucked, so much to do
FF10 wasnt bad i guess, nice graphics and Blitzball was fun
Am waiting for FF to come out on multiplayer :D
If anyone liked the music in the games http://www.ocremix.org/
go there, people have remixed songs from the games and alot of other games, if no one has mentioned it already

[Shadowwynd]

FF6 still kept my interests with regars to story and strangness lol

I can't say VII was crap because it wasn't, just not my fav FF game.

Now FF5 WAS dodgey and the most fun once you got into it although never completed it i did get RIGHT near the end but i lost my save game when my old PC died and i can't be arsed to get back to where i was.

to be honest i can't give a favourite FF game because i liked them all (that ive played, never played FF tactics)

FF online looks very interesting and rather weird. Only know small amounts about it, but it involes one of my favourite things in the FF series.. The job system woot!

[Jonny Greenwood]

It's just frusrating that I couldn't win a single blitzball game :mad:
Same with me grrr.... :upset:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Blitzball in X > Biltzbal in X-2

At least in X you get some control over your players. But both get repetitive quickly, and are only an ego boost to do really.

The card game in FF9 got me, could never get the full set

[Jonny]

I've never played an FF game.
Is Crystal Chronicles any good??

[Rusty Metal Head]

Can ANYONE explain to me the ending to X?

I got confused when that kid was going on about"dreaming"

My friend explained X-2 but X im still having a problem with the story
please help

[rising_fury]

My friend explained X-2 but X im still having a problem with the story

what help with the story do you need?

[Brew]

Card game in IX > Card game in VIII

I get addicted to playing it, I've spent over an hour playing it before...

I found Blitzball in X fun, 'til I sacked my keeper and couldn't find a replacement :(
I got reasonably good at it too.

I have FF IV, V and VI (3 to the Americans), but I've never really gotten into them much, I must have a week of solid Final Fantasy playing very soon.

that's just cause you're too young to remember the awesomeness of the 16 bit era :p

I was never a part of it, my parents didn't get my a console until I was about 10.

It was a PSX, and I got Tekken 3 with it :cool:

[rising_fury]

tekken 3 was a good game, i remember button mashing with eddie once and getting a 15 hit combo :thumb:

moving along to more final fantasy related topics, is anyone glad that they're finally getting away from the whole basic story of evil empire wants to take over the world. bigger bad guy shows up, empire falls and then you have to save the world from total destruction?

Card game in IX > Card game in VIII

I get addicted to playing it, I've spent over an hour playing it before...


Same here. The card games in FF IX and VIII are really addictive, but i really dont get the card game on IX.

Sometimes one card attacks with 98 points and defends with 68, then it levels up, and becomes crap and dies in one hit :confused:

Yeah, i have five favorate cards in FF IX.

FF VIII has the best card game cause its so simple and easy to learn.

Whats everyones favorate GF in VIII?

[Holyed]

Yeh I am a big Final Fantasy fan. I never wanted a ps2 though so couldnt play FF10+ but I have played them and they have nothing on the ones before. If I had played ff8 a bit more I might have enjoyed it, but I never really got into it. FF7 and FF9 for me are joined in greatness, my two favourite games ever, and that fact that ive clocked up about 250 hours combined both, shows this, I dont know how though. But yeah I have pwned both 7 and 9 so any questions i would gladly answer.

[rising_fury]

Whats everyones favorate GF in VIII?

probably the cactuar gf... cause it's the cactuar

[Kingofdudes]

Fave GF was probably Tonberry, his level up skill was very useful.

[Brew]

I never got Doomtrain or Tonberry when I used to play VIII, I think I managed to get the rest of them though.

Then when you had Cactuar levelled up, he'd hit for 9999 each time :cool:

[Kingofdudes]

Its cool cause with Tonberry you can level up a monster, and draw out strong magic (like Tornado) then kill it for huge exp :thumb:

[Brew]

Sweet, I'll have to try it sometime.

Did anyone else find Diablos's ''No Encounters'' ability usefull when running around the Island Closest to Hell? There was loads of draw points at that place.

[Kingofdudes]

No Encounter made it much less of a pain in the *** to get to the cactuar desert.

[Brew]

The random encounters is what annoyed me about VII - there was too many of them.

Sometimes they came in handy for training, but when you need to run accross the world map for a while they got incredibly annoying.

[rising_fury]

well, random encounters are what make ff, ff

[Brew]

Indeed they are.

But they did get annoying in VII.

it was the best ability in the game, cos levelling up was useless in FF8 - it just made the enemies stronger. my friend's brother keeps on going on about how good he is at FF8 because his squall's level 99 - even though you only need 99,000exp to achieve this.

i didn't like FF8 that much, because the attacking magics were so weak - ultima only did 3000 damage to ultimecia when my quistis (magic 235) used it, although aura is the sexiest magic ever :)

[-Listy-]

Fave Gf for looks would be Diablos, i mean how cool was he :lol:
Fave all round would be Bahamut, an old fave, and Odin, just because its Odin, shame he gets cut in 2 :lol:

Aura + Squalls Lionheart attack = Total Destruction

[red barchetta]

my favourite GF (or summon)is, and always will be, IFRIT!!!

he sucks, but HE LOOKS AWESOME in every FF game he's in

[-Listy-]

Ifrit kicks *** too, think he looks gr8 in FF7, Alexander was cool too, forgot bout him, and Leviathan, **** i love them all

[red barchetta]

Aura + Squalls Lionheart attack = Total Destruction

that was what made omega weapon and ultimecia soooooo easy to defeat.

also, zell's limit was really good too - just keep on using punch rush and heel kick. it hardly takes any time to enter the commands, so you can use it a lot in one turn, for EXTREME damage. i defeated the first round of ultimecia just with Zell (and aura of course)

Aura + Squalls Lionheart attack = Total Destruction

The best way to beat the last bosses.

[Rusty Metal Head]

what help with the story do you need?


sorry for the lateness....
I just dont understand the ending...like how(spoiler ahead) Tidus is really dead....and when that spirit of one of the Summon creatures(the small boy who keeps pauisng time to talk to you) says that they died in a war between Tidus city and an oposite city.... but I thought.."so this is all a dream from these guys who died in a war?? what the ****?"

please someone explain to me whats going on....

[Rusty Metal Head]

The best way to beat the last bosses.


the best way is after it uses apocolypse on you and you only have one health you should cast somekind of Barrier(like barrier..duh) so when she attacks you with magic it wont hurt but apocolypse wont work cos it cant lower your health past one

[red barchetta]

oh man... i wish i could help you, but it's been a while, and that's a mind bending question

[blue3]

The only Final Fantasy I've played was FFX

[sleepy1212]

oh man... i wish i could help you, but it's been a while, and that's a mind bending question

It's been a while but I'll give it a shot. Tidus is dead and the spirits from the farplane are trying to save the future, or something. God, I can't remember all of this. I had it for a sec then I lost it. umm, Somehow I think Sin is a product of the ghosts being unable to rest or something. Like a result of thier past mistakes, i.e., that war...

Someone else's turn on this one.

Favorite GF from VIII, and all subsequent ones was Shiva. Ice Goddess in a thong (dork).

Odin

FF 12 is looking a lot like star wars (the movies, not the games), which is a good thing.

[Kafkastolemyslippers]

XII won't be online, at least not in the way XI was. It might have some online options of sorts, but it would be stupid if XII was online because then it would compete with XI

[Burning inside]

In FF VIII, how do you get on the Queen of cards quest?

[Rrrrrrr]

Has anyone defeated the Metal Spider on FFVIII?

You know, when you have gone to Dollet on your SeeD test? I have come close a few times but never done it.

Forget him, has anyone ever killed the Omega Weapon? That fight is seriously impossible.

[Rrrrrrr]

or, you can just kill her before she uses apocalypse, or use a megaelixir if she uses it, then cast aura on squall or irvine (you can't forget about those fast ammo's!)

...or, you could just draw Apocalypse from Ultimecia before she draws it herself, then cast it on her. Killing her really shouldn't be a problem if you have decent attack ratings and enough healing and Auras stockpiled.

[Brew]

Forget him, has anyone ever killed the Omega Weapon? That fight is seriously impossible.

I think my friend did it, I don't think I ever managed it though.

[Cecillianne]

In FF VIII, how do you get on the Queen of cards quest?

Ugh, I forgot. I believe Quistis was the Queen of Cards. She was way easy.

Ultimecia was the easiest last boss ever. Cast aura and just keep doing limit breaks. <3 Lionheart.

Also, does anyone have an idea how to beat Ozma in FF9, at the chocobo place? It keeps on doing doomsday, and the damage is 9999 all the time :mad:

[Burning inside]

What levels are you characters and have you got the best wepons and items?

[Kingofdudes]

Forget him, has anyone ever killed the Omega Weapon? That fight is seriously impossible.

Not with Holy Wars/Hero Drinks/aura

[LightningCow]

I think the hardest thing I've ever had to figure out for a Final Fantasy game was the whole Blitz system in FF3. It was so confusing to me.

[red barchetta]

Forget him, has anyone ever killed the Omega Weapon? That fight is seriously impossible.

am i the only one that managed to kill at my first attempt, without using the zombie trick?

i just had zell, irvine, and squall, all with hp9999 (you have to have 9999, because one of omega's attacks does 9998 damage to everyone, and you can't block it, unless you are invincible, but then you can't cast aura on them), and they all had the aura magic and a way to recover someone fully even if they are dead (full life, revive, recover, elixers, curagas).

first, get everyone to cast aura on themselves, and then get them to cast protect (or whatever that magic was called, the one where it raises the physical defence) on themselves - this will protect them from terra break. if they get hurt, recover them FULLY (VERY IMPORTANT)

then get one of your characters to cast MELTDOWN on omega. this will lower its defence to 0. then get squall to rezokuken, and for zell, keep on using punch rush and heel kick. for irvine, shoot as many fast ammos as possible. you could use eden if you run out of auras

that should kill it. sorry for the long post

[Rrrrrrr]

I think you're gettiig confused with the CC club quest, because Quistis was the Card King. The Queen of Cards is the lady in red who you find outside the Balamb train station.

And I have seen the Omega weapon being beaten, but that fight needed about 30 Heroes, which I don't think you can get anywhere. (The guy didn't use Holy Wars because when it wore off all the characters lost their invincible status together, and then get finished off with Terra Break.)

[JmE]

I had this real problem with Final Fantasy VIII, I never did beat it. I do still have it on PC, but I can't be bothered to get around to it. I think I was in the beginning of the 3rd disc on PC last I checked, but it's been awhile and I don't have that file anymore.

The way i done it was to get everyone to around level 85 - 90 and near to trance metters as you want.

My set up was Zidane level 90 with the ultima wepon, Steiner at level 87 with the ragnarock, Dagger/Garnet level 86 with the tiger racket and Viv at level 88 with the Maics of Zeus.

They all had auto life and auto regen on and Dagger/Garnet and Vivi had abilities that increased their magic.

everyone had learned all their attacks, such as Dagger/Garnet summoner Ark, and Vivi had learned all his magic.

I just kept on attacking and attacking using their strongest attacks, and trances when i get them, and i eventually bet him. :thumb: :chug:

It took me next to forever to do it. I had Zidane lv. 61, Eiko lv. 59, Amarant lv. 58, and Steiner lv. 57. Ozma uses LV5 death, which kills any characters on a level the multiple of 5. Zidane kept on stealing, Amarant uses a move called 'no mercy' (=7000 damage), Steiner uses shock (9999 every time), and Eiko either casts Carbuncle (reflects his holy and flare spells back at him), Full life (to revive, duh...), or cast holy.

It's definitely not easy. Be prepared to throw things, and watch out for curse. Set your magic stones to guard against status (e.g. antibody, clear headed, etc.).

^Why do you hate FFVIII?

I quite liked it, the draw + junction system was great to use once you'd figured out how to do it effectiveley.

Yeah, I dont see why people hate FFVIII so much. The only problem I have with it is the sprite design.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

FF8 had the most annoying lead character ever. And storing magic was annoying.

Apart from that it was fun.....UNTIL the end when every city was locked. I like my hours of roaming cities before a final boss in FF games

FF9 was annoying for this too, with the mist restrictions at the end

[Brew]

The mist in FFIX was annoying, but at least you could still get to every village/town/city.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Plus the airship-that-wasnt-the-invincible had better music than the Invincible.

FF9 was one I hurried up and completed, then played through again

[Kingofdudes]

FF9's chocobo game was realyl addictive.

Annoyingly addictive. i cant ride a chocobo without looking for treasure now.

Its is very addictive. Out of the 65 hours it took to complete the game(i took a long time cause i tried to do all the sub quests and get all the cards) i spent about 3 or more hours in Choco Forest, Choco Lagoon and Choco Air Station.

Im sad i know, but i had fun doing it :) .

The card game in IX is way too addictive, I find that when I play the Chocobo game I get addicted to it too easily.

I would like to add one more thing: FF kicks ***... thank you.

[Spectrum]

If we can't agree about Squall, can we at least agree on two things - that Cloud may well be one of the coolest characters ever, and that Titus was one of the least cool main characters? And on the side note of lesser characters, I think we can all agree that Auron is just plain awesome. (My personal favorite is the Black Mage Vivi...)

I was supposed to do an essay tonight, in for tomorrow, but as I sat down in the kitchen to have a drink before retiring to my room to begin, the thought "Hey, maybe I should start Final Fantasy VIII again!" made it's sinister way into my mind. Four hours later, and I finally pulled myself away from it. Five hours later still, and I'm less than a third of the way through this essay. Stupid Final Fantasy :(

[Bartender]

Oh, and on the subject of VII's chocobos..it has fostered in me a dream of one day riding an ostrich.

Auron is what a FF character should be like, dark, mysterious, bad *** and hard as nails.

Paine was cool for a while though in X-2, till she lightened up. :(

[LightningCow]

Well you need to appeal to the masses as well... Making a dark game would only attract a certain crowd.

Square/Enix are in it for the megabucks:D

[sleepy1212]

Paine was lame. Auron on the other hand...one of my favorite ff characters.

I knew it was a joke, I was pointing it out to someone else. But it would be really screwed up if someone was into blitzball that much. I hated that sidequest more than any other.

I quite liked it, the draw + junction system was great to use once you'd figured out how to do it effectiveley.

A few things made me dislike the game:

1. - The Draw system. I didn't like having to draw magic from enemies. Personally, it made the battles to long.

2. - Junk Shops - They blow, I don't like the way one has to roam around the contry side looking for a particular monster, who may drop an item needed to create a weapon.

Thats pretty much it.

Why, don't you want backstory to put some of the stuff in context?

Wouldn't it help to know where Vincent is coming from? Isn't it more enjoyable when you know how everything works and why everything is happening the way it is? :mad:

[Ragnarok Yuna]

Im just saying that ive always been happy with standalone games. Now its becoming like the movie industry, anything that does mildly well warrents a sequel. Its easy to see how SE is trying to suck money out of the FF name. This is quite apparent after the FFX-2 dissaster.

FFVII does not need 3 sequels, theyre was plenty of diclosure at the end of the game (More so in FFX). If any game would be best fit for a sequel, it would be FFVIII. But FFVIII will never get a sequel. EVER. Why? because it doesnt have as big a fanbase as FFVII. FFVII has so many fanboys that the game will do well no matter how much it sucks.

Even the type of sequel.

Before crisis is a cell phone game available only in Japan.

Advent Children is a movie, and while it looks to be amazing, I wish they had chosen to make a whole new movie, A la Spirits within. But SW was a risk and didnt do well. AC will make money no matter what.

Dirge of cerbeus is a Devil May cry styled action game starring Vincent. Again, this game will do well, even if they leave FFVII's RPG rotts and slap on an M rating. Fanboys will flock to it even if the soon to be released DMC3 is 10 times better.

On top of all this, These sequels are delaying the mainline games, like FFXII, that longtime FF fans wish for. I cant tell you how bad I want to play FFXII, but delays keep piling on thx to SE and theyre spinoffs. Also delayed are games like KH2 and the next Brave fencer Musashi game.

This is my opinion, dont flame me, I have good reasons for not wanting more spinoffs.

[may_six]

IMO Storylines/Dialogue/Content progressively went downhill after FF7.

[Your Mom, B*tch]

My best FF6 party was:

Cyan
Gogo
Sabin
Terra

I have thoroughly enjoyed every FF since 7 (except 8, and never played X-2). Each of them are such different games in terms of graphics, story, and gameplay that I've loved them all. I really don't think the series has gone downhill since 7.

[may_six]

X-2 didn't have a storyline. It was the *** to FFX. (basically just the continuated endings)
I thought the peak was at FF7 because I loved the (more so) realistic dialogues. The conversations had better flow, and it isn't told like a sissy fairytale, rather, an actual story. Given, FF8 had achieved that better than FF9 and FFX, I didn't like the actual storyline itself. FFX was what killed me. The story, and dialogue was too childish/storybook based.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every FF since 7 (except 8, and never played X-2). Each of them are such different games in terms of graphics, story, and gameplay that I've loved them all. I really don't think the series has gone downhill since 7.

Mine was:

-Cyan
-Edgar
-Sabin
-switchout, usually either Gau, Terra, or Setzer :thumb:

God man, that game was SO good.

By the way, I agree with you that after 7 things went downhill(only i enjoyed 8 immensely). Final Fantasy III/VI was my favorite. :thumb:

So, can anyone tell me what the ending is for FF 8?

It's a weird ending, but it's a pretty easy game, finish it yourself

[Rusty Metal Head]

Yes the ending for 8 is weird but not as confusing as Donnie Darko...

I actually like 8

[woodsinho]

I've just started ffIV again, can't actually remember if i ever finished it... gonna be playing that a lot over the weekend :D, Cecil just turned into a paladin. [insert sarcastic w00p here]

Yeah, I dislike the game too much for me to go and complete it.

All I remember about the ending of 8 is that it took ages before the ending credits started rolling.

good ending though, I loved it. I hate endings where it's like 5 minutes, then the credits (coughlegendofzeldacough)

[xizoesira]

Final Fantasy IX's story seems underrated to me. Probably my favorite Final Fantasy ending.

[manuscriptreplica]

Yeah, the ending for IX is the greatest thing ever, it's like 30 minutes long

Yeah, I dislike the game too much for me to go and complete it.

Final Fantasy VIII's ending in a nutshell:

They all defeat Ultimecia, and are time compressed back to their own world (I guess) everyone's there except for Squall. Rinoa comes looking for him, but can't find him. It cuts to Squall, who is alone. Then it cuts to a scene at the orphanage, where big Squall can see little Squall running around. Big Squall tells Enda all about what's going to happen in the future, then Ultimecia comes and gives Edna her powers, or something. Then we see him collapse in this huge desert, and Rinoa finally finds him, and thinks he's dead, but he's not. Then you see the ship, and it's a very happy yet sad ending. There's a cool camera that Squall might be holding, it's like a camcorder running all the way through the credits, which shows some humerous stuff, like Zell finally getting a hot dog

This might be all out of order, I haven't finished it in a while. It's a weird ending, you really should complete it

but remember when they said that after time compression you would have to have a partner to believe in your existance. well squall was alone and i kinda always figured he died. and at the end where rinoa is out on the balcony and she holds up her finger for one more dance kinda give you the idea that squall isnt the camera guy cause it would have been directed towards him and that theres no one else out there with rinoa.kinda like shes having a memory of squall.

[Osiris X]

Yes, Final Fantasy, How I Love Them All!!!
Cept 10, 10 sucked balls... watched more movies than you played the game. I have 80 hours on mine and i garentee alot of it is from watching movies.
Final Fantasy 8 would have made a awesome movie, I still think they should make it instead of Advent. The only reason people didnt like 8 was because the junction system was to complicated. Its not that hard to understand.
Final Fantasy X-2 was a cool game, alot of work! The best part of it was the multiple endings. I still have only got 1 even with 85%. Shuyin is bad ***, the COMPLETE Opposite of Tidus. Awww, i remember FFX, the only good thing on it was Blitzball. I played that more than anything else.

i just defeated omega in ff5 :cool:
i'm so happy!!!

Huh...thanks. I spent hours upon hours playing VIII when I first got it, but never managed to beat it. For some reason I could never find all of those monsters you had to kill to unlock battle commands.

Yeah you're probably right, I need to start a Final Fantasy binge again :) I can't really remember it at all

Huh...thanks. I spent hours upon hours playing VIII when I first got it, but never managed to beat it. For some reason I could never find all of those monsters you had to kill to unlock battle commands.

www.gamefaqs.com

They aren't that hard to find, anyway

i think selphie's the one thats holding the cam-corder

Again, you're probably right


I'll go finish it now with my level 100 characters and GF's (ooh yeah) and report back with an in-depth ending

[Cybergasm]

I would like to remind you once again:

FINAL FNATASY ROX YOUR GRANDMA'S GIRDEL... (thats a good thing)

[manuscriptreplica]

Fu ck I forgot what an awesome ending Final Fantasy 8 has.

Well I took down some notes, and I'll just ramble on, and hopefully everything will make sense

OK, so you beat four bosses, Ultimecia, Griever, Ultimecia junctioned to Griever, and then the final Ultimecia. When the final Ultimecia dies, the screen (which is already all black) gets engulfed in white light and then she explodes. There is this white screen, and everyone's in there, apart from Squall of course. They all ramble, but Quistis says "Make sure you pick the right time!" which probably indicates that they are in the compression and are trying to get back to their own time. Rinoa looks for Squall but can't find him.

It cuts to an all black screen. Squall is running around looking for everyone. Then he hears a voice "Squall where are you going?" and it turns into the old orphanage. Edea is there, chasing after the young Squall, old Squall went too far into the past. Ultimecia appears, and Squall wants to fight, but Edea says "For a sorceress to die in peace, she must pass on her powers" and willingly accepts Ultimecia's powers. Edea asks who the old Squall is, and Squall tells her about SeeD and the Garden, and how she came up with those ideas. Edea asks him if he'll be OK, and if he knows where to go, to which Squall replies "I know, Matron" (or something)

Squall briefly goes back to the black screen, where he admits he doesn't want to be alone anymore, now he's found the group, and admits that he can't go on without them. It then cuts to the FMV (ooh yeah) and Squall is in this huge desert, with nothing around him but ground. He starts walking, and finally gets to the end, and then stumbles over.

You see Rinoa in a field (The same field as the opening credits) running about, then Squall sees a white petal, and he grabs it. Squall is suddenly in the same field as Rinoa (Yeah, I'm confused too) and calls out to her. She turns around, and we enter probably the coolest, yet most confusing part of the ending. White wings briefly flash before this part, I don't know if that means anything. You see the clip of Rinoa when we first see her, at the dance. But her face is all mucked up, for some reason. All these random clips come and go, it gets pretty confusing. The final bit is especialy cool, she is walking towards you with the muddled face, and it keeps cutting back to her walking, and you're spinning around this random room, it's great. I don't know what this signifies though.

It cuts back to the desert, and Rinoa is now there, and she finds Squall, who is presumed dead, I guess. But he's really alright. Then it gets really good. Seifer is fishing, and he's not catching any fish, but Raijo (I think that's his name?) is catching all the fish. Seifer cuts it, and Raijo is still celebrating, so the girl kicks him in the ocean. Seifer laughs, but looks almost sad when the Garden flies above. Laguna is featured next in probably is the best bit in the ending, him proposing to Raine. And then, he walks up to a grave, when 'Raine Loire' is etched. Quite cool. He smiles when the Garden flies above.

That is the end of the first bit. There is a cool camcorder thing going on in the credits, Selphie initially holds it, but Irvine does towards the end. The camera goes on Rinoa, then it cuts to another FMV, where Rinoa holds up one more finger, signaling the last dance perhaps? Squall gives us a smile, and then the two kiss, the first kiss in video game history!!!

[witch doctor]

this thread is very long, but ff deserves it.

ff7 was my first one, and I would also have to say it was my favorite.
naturally, I wanted more, so I got ff8, which as almost as good.
then I skipped ff9 for awhile because I hated how the characters looked, and went on to ffX which I didn't like too much. I went for X2 anyways but it didn't redeem that chapter of ff.

I did get ff9 since it eventually became like $5. it was much better than I thought, although I still couldn't get over the goofy looking characters.

still waiting for advent children; its looking pretty cool! :thumb:
