Final Fantasy Clan

[Dalandow]

I LOVE the non-linear aspect. You can be heroic and noble, or devote yourself to a life of crime mugging people and breaking into homes . . . just don't get caught!

Early in the game, I was spotted breaking and entering and worked up enough of a bounty that no one would speak to me, since I was a "notorious outlaw." I had to sneak into a city, find a shop to unload my stolen goods, then sneak to the Thieves Guild and get them to use thier shady contacts to remove the bounty and clear my name.

Great fun!


Yeah, breaking the law was fun. Most of the time I'd go to far with it and wouldn't be able to complete the quest though cause of my outlaw status. I also didn't like the fact that it was imposssible to hit something. I'd swing my sword or Axe or what have you like 10 times and maybe hit my foe twice if that. It seemed impossible to hit someone.

That's because your weapons skills were too low. Gotta improve them either by fighting or paying for training.

[Aeturnus]

So, yeah, I posted somewhere that I'm replaying FFVII.

I've only played like 5 minutes when I bought it back in '97. So, for 9 years, it's been gathering dust. I'm still on the first disc, just won my first Chocobo Race. Gonna look for Sephiroth...

(Speaking of, I just did not buy Sephy going postal. It's kinda like Luke becoming Darth Vader in Ep III. Just wasn't convincing, y'know?)

Anyhoo, it's pretty enjoyable so far. The plot's not doing anything for me, but I like the gameplay. The music is boiling my ears (especially the Gold Saucer theme). Lord, thank you for the mute button.


EDIT

To shock: http://www.shiningforcecentral.com

Unfortunately, there's no plans for Atlus or Sega to return to SF's roots. :(

Shining Force Neo is the latest bastardization of the franchise. Moogs says it's an Action RPG, kinda like Shining Tears (ugh) minus the dual player aspect.

*sniff* It's all Shining Soul's fault.

Anyhoo, still no good news on EB2/M3's North American release date. :( http://www.starmen.net links to some pretty good auctions though.

Its to bad, Shining Force was the best tactics game IMO. I don't think I've liked any other tactics game as much as that one.

a buch of characters on the field.
the promotion system was the best, espicially 2s "advanced promotions"
good clean combat, players and enemies didn't miss much.

Just so good. They don't make as good of an action/rpg as they did tactical.

Oh well, Disgaea 2 will be out soon. Thats got me all a tingle waiting for it.

[Beta-Ray1378]

Aye, I just clicked on the thread, and saw Final Fantasy VII, and the Elder Scrolls mentioned. Anywho, would anyone be so kind to tell me a good place to gain exp in Final Fantasy VII? Also, In Morrowind, has anyone stolen the god hammer from Mournhold?

[bradley2099]

I can't think of the name of the place, but that sunken sub comes to mind as a good place to gain exp. Keep in mind it has been seven years since I have played the game ;) .

[shock man x]

:) I'll ask my gf, she leveled everyone up to 99 in the game.

I think I just used the crater to get some levels. Tonberries are easy xp if I remember right.

Freeze + Deathblow = Dead Berries

[Beta-Ray1378]

She leveled up EVERYONE to level 99, I'm very impressed. Any help would be appreciated and I totally forgot about the sunken plane.

[Aeturnus]

Anywho, would anyone be so kind to tell me a good place to gain exp in Final Fantasy VII? A

I can help you here.

1) The jungles around Mideel. Pretty good for AP, but not the best spot for materia-levelling.

2) The marshy, upper-left area of the Final Cave - look only for these two enemies: Magic Pots (you need elixers) and the Movers (easy exp and AP, but rare). You can either cheat (which you're kinda doing now) and make infinite copies of Elixers, or you can steal from the Master Tonberries (also located in the Final Cave.)

3) The best place to build your limit bar and find rare items: The Gelnika. I'd avoid focusing on levelling here, since the enemies are amazingly difficult.

[gryphonred]

The best place was in the carter were you found those magic jars, I just don't remember if you can just kill them or you had to do something else, it's been years since I was there last. I just started a game on the PC. Which brings me to a question, which FF7 is better, PC or PS1?

[Beta-Ray1378]

Thanks for the help. But how is asking for a good place to gain exp. cheating? I did the main game without any help really, except for the Golden Chocobo up until now, and I'm at the final crater part.

Well, I guess that's my poor word choice. Power-levelling kinda ruins RPGs for me...it's not fun when enemies can't damage you significantly...

Don't get me wrong, I don't rush through the game and barely survive every battle...but I do like a challenge.

[Beta-Ray1378]

Oh, I don't power level, I just want to get to a level where I can beat the game. My characters are only about level 60 as of now. Like in Final Fantasy 9, My highest level charcter was 56, the rest were in the 40 range.

[Aeturnus]

Level 60? You should be fine. :)

...Final Fantasy IX was awesome. After I beat the game, I powerlevelled and faced Ozma. ;_; He was sooo easy, and I really shouldn't have done that...

[Beta-Ray1378]

Okay cool, if level 60 should do it, I'll give it a go. Also 9 was really fun, it was easy but I really enjoyed it. I went through and beat the final bosses over and over again.

[shock man x]

You don't even want to see her X files.

Yuna does way to much damage. :cheeky:

[Beta-Ray1378]

In X I never bothered with Yuna, but I made Rikku stronger than Auron. She tears through anything, She completed all of Auron's part of the grid.

[shock man x]

Yeah, 60 is fine. I think I was low 50s when I beat it the first time.

I don't know what to think about 9. Story confused me, even after playing it again. And didn't like getting skills from weapons. Liked that it was all throwbackish graphics wise and the mini card game in that was fun to play.

My brother is the one who got everyone to 99 in that one. So he could cream the chocobo gardens thing.

[Aeturnus]

:)

I'm thinking about buying a PS2 when the PS3 comes out. Ton of must-play games: Kingdom Hearts, Disgaea, Wild Arms 4, Final Fantasy XII, even the craptacular Shining Tears...

*RPGasm*

[shock man x]

In X I never bothered with Yuna, but I made Rikku stronger than Auron. She tears through anything, She completed all of Auron's part of the grid.


X i used Tidus, Kimari, and Rikku I think. Had them going into the others grids pretty early with warp orbs.

[Beta-Ray1378]

Anyone play X-2 and actually like it or think it was good?

I'm PS1 all the way myself.

Most everyone else I know played it on that as well.

[Aeturnus]

I dunno, I've heard mixed reviews.

Kinda looks like Charlie's Angels. O.o


Edit:
...and I agree, FFVII is best played on the PS1.

[gryphonred]

My girlfriend plays it sometimes so I know of one person that likes it. :)

[shock man x]

I liked it, I thought it was good. I agree that the story was "girly" though. But it was all eye candy at the same time. Can't go wrong with Rikku in beserker, or Paine in lady luck. :classic:

[Beta-Ray1378]

I thought X-2 was fun but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other games. I also thought it was weird that they made a sequel. And eye candy is never a bad thing.

[Aeturnus]

What's the worst Final Fantasy?

I know many would disagree, but I'm not a big fan of VII or XI. That said, I've never played VIII, X, or X-2.

...I tried the demo of XII at EB the other day. Looks pretty fun...got to fight some weird looking enemies near a beach. O.o

[Beta-Ray1378]

Of the ones I have played I would say VIII or X-2.

[shock man x]

I thought X-2 was fun but I didn't enjoy it as much as the other games. I also thought it was weird that they made a sequel. And eye candy is never a bad thing.


See I'm a fan of the "job system" anyways so when I heard that X-2 was going to have it I just had to get it. I thought they did a great job updating the job system too for that game.

I didn't like them breaking into song to fix the worlds problems though, that was touching on the corny side.

And the end boss in that was way to easy. Expected a drag down fight and was really dissapointed with it.

The extra ending stuff is un needed and you're not missing anything if you've only seen the basic ending. (don't forget to click when you hear Tidus whistle in the farplane at the end.)

And X-2 is more linear than other FFs as well. Which hurt it some more.

I don't know why this got the sequel. VI would have been a better choice for one IMO.

Worst, I'd go with II. Hated the 'leveling' system in that, and the story was meh.

XI, I was all down on till I started playing it. A lot of fun.

XII plays to much like XI. The Mandies (little plant guys) are from XI. Nice to watch them beat the snot out of the unicorn thingys though.

[Aeturnus]

Good lord, VI...that game was tough.

...t'was worth it at the end, though. ^^

[Beta-Ray1378]

I like having a class choice, I just thought it was funky in X-2. But it was a fun game to pass the time. So it was worth playing, just not the best choice for me.

[gryphonred]

I never liked FF8, couldn't get past the draw magic. As for the PC FF7, i'll try it until my brother-in-law gives back my PS1 version, it does feel a little weirod playing it on my PC but I have to play the game after watching Advent Children. :classic:

[bradley2099]

I'm a little torn as to the worst game. I hated the draw system in VIII, but at the same time I really liked the characters and the story.


MMMMmmmmm... Rinoa...

[gryphonred]

So, what game/s is everyone playing now? I myself am finishing up KH2 (just need to finish some of the mini games and gummy ship stuff), playing FF7 on PC when really bored and just started a new FFT( maybe this time I'll go for a party of ninja/calculators. :devious: )

I'm surviving the summer drought by replaying some old favorites. Right now: Super Mario World. Next: Spider-Man (PS1 2000).

[venarnage]

I've gotta say X-2 blew. I mean, if I was a 12 year old girl....or maybe even a 12 year old boy, I might have thought this was interesting, but the whole Charlies Angel's thing kinda killed it for me. I finished the game, just to see the ending, but I didnt enjoy it too much. I did enjoy the different classes that they brought in. The singing one....not so much, but the others were pretty sweet. I'd give it the worst label imo.

I beat the main quest, theives guild, assassins guild, House Hlaaluh (spelling) and both expansions. I also did so many side quests its not funny, and I nearly own all the legendary items, even the hammer in the museum in Mournhold. So 20 dollars for all that time isn't bad at all.

What system are you playing it on? Is it really that good? I was looking into starting it but its a bit expensive as of now.

[shock man x]

What system are you playing it on? Is it really that good? I was looking into starting it but its a bit expensive as of now.

I'm playing on PC. It was 20 for the game and first two expansions, then 30 for the new expansion (the one with blue mage in it) and it's only 15 bucks a month for me to play (have a brother and girlfriend playing too).

If you get it for XBOX you get all three expansions with the game. A real good buy, and hours of fun.

I'm having a ton of fun with it. I went in thinking I wouldn't. MMOs wasn't for me and I hated people talking about them too. But I sat down and started playing, and between crafting, leveling, and all the little events they do (scoop fishing for goldfish starting on the 25th ^^) It has been really good. And most of the people you meet are nice too.

overall thumbs up. Though I still think it should have been called FFonline and not XI

[shock man x]

[venarnage]

What? I just tried to type in this clan like 12 times, and it's telling me I dont have access to it!

[Beta-Ray1378]

I'm just now getting into magic item creating. Any tips?
Use only grand soul gems, as they hold the strongest and more powerful creatures. If you have access to Mournhold(its an expansion) go to the enchanter and buy Golden Saint summoning scrolls. He is in a building near the museum. For soultrap spells, try and get either scrolls which are in Vivec's mages guild or umbra's sword. Please note I haven't done this in a while so if its wrong I apologize. Oh have lots of cash tons and tons of cash. If you want decent enchanted items it will cost you alot. Also try and find the highest level of armor and clothing, as they can hold the strongest enchantments. For light armor it's glass, for heavy it's daedric and ebony, and medium is bonemold. Also it isn't worth it to enchant items at low levels.

[Beta-Ray1378]

Also quick soultrapping lesson just in case. Go into an empty building, summon the golden saint, cast soultrap. Then kill the beast, and you have a trapped soul.

[Gentlegamer]

I have a Daedric Tower Shield I want to make into an auto-regen magic item with Restore Health as constant effect. Is it worth using anything less than a Golden Saint for enchanting? And I do have the Umbra Sword, so soul trapping is no problem.

Use a golden saint, anything else won't do what you want. Gloden Saints are the easiest and best souls to obtain.

Is just a clan with more forums in it.

It makes us into a sub forum instead of just a thread.

We'll be able to have seperate sections for each "topic" like FF, Square games, RPGs, Table RPGs, and threads for XII and XIII when they come out or to speculate about them.

Its all cool, I'll explain how to get into it when it happens. A few of the former clans moved have already gone into their player group areas. I've seen a couple of them and its all good.

[Mägo de Oz]

As do I.

Coldsnap has me excited. Started playing with Ice Age and look forward to drafting Coldsnap.

Time Spiral block, if it is what it's rumored to be, will bore the hell out of me and I'll dump the game again for two years till that set is out of standard.

Currently, in standard magic, me and a freind are trying to dominate with Simic Ninja and enjoy drafting the ravnica block when i have the time and money to do so.

I've been out of it for a while... but Coldsnap seems interesting... I might give it a try...

Most of it I'd like to set up as private, with this thread being the exception. Make this the recruitment thread of the group where everyone can see but if they want to get more involved in the talks going on they'll have to join.

To join a player group, or to request to join (private groups go through the leader who says yes or no to each one) you go to User CP and in there is a link for groups.

I did some digging and found this."buy any "resist magicka" spell and take that to a spellmaker and remake the spell for 100% Resist magicka for 2 seconds on self. Then all you do is cast the spell and quickly equip the BOBs and the Blindness is negated until you take off the boots again." I'm not sure it will work, because my character doesn't wear boots.

Chocobos? Dinner! Break out the A1 sauce. :)

Anyhoo, I was wondering...when you all get characters who join late in your RPG storylines, do you ever make 'em permanent members of your team? I guess it depends on the game, but I rarely change the format of my teams...sometimes, their levels are low...they seem weak...I'm too comfortable with the team I've got, y'know?



I leave for SDCC tomorrow. It's vacation time, brothas, vacation time, brothas. *Is looking for a danger cart - preferabley one that comes with a Meatwad*

[venarnage]

I think it really depends on the characters. I mean, if you get a Knight that really helps out, and that has killer attacks, of course I'll make room for him, but if he's some peon, then I'm probably not going to use him. Take VII for instance. I used Vincent from the moment I got him, even though his Limit Breaks weren't really that controllable, he still threw out some damage, and gave my team some good ranged attacks. I just used him as a pawn for my summons. That way Cloud and Barret could whip out the big gun attacks while he used up all his mp, then went crazy on his limit breaks...

[Beta-Ray1378]

I got Vincent too, he misses every shot when using his ultimate weapon.

[Aeturnus]

Right now, my party is Cloud, Red XIII, and Tifa.

Sure, Vincent looks cool, but, stat-wise, he's pretty much inferior to Tifa.

Tifa has more strength, hp, mp, and magic...but Vincent looks ####ing cool. I didn't use either in my last run through it...

Decisions...decisions...

[Beta-Ray1378]

I usually use Tifa and Vincent, but I'll switch Vincent for Yuffie from time to time. Due to the fact she can actually hit a target.

[FoxInStocks]

NOTE: They're remaking FFIII for the DS. Think polished FFVII graphics with pre-FFVII game play. FFVI is being ported to the GBA straight up.

[Gentlegamer]

That reminds me that I have FF II & III (Jap-Eng trans) ROMs that I have never really played. Maybe they'll be next after Morrowind.

[bradley2099]

Looking forward to III, actually. It's the only FF I've not played yet.

[shock man x]

Chocobos? Dinner! Break out the A1 sauce. :)

Anyhoo, I was wondering...when you all get characters who join late in your RPG storylines, do you ever make 'em permanent members of your team? I guess it depends on the game, but I rarely change the format of my teams...sometimes, their levels are low...they seem weak...I'm too comfortable with the team I've got, y'know?



I leave for SDCC tomorrow. It's vacation time, brothas, vacation time, brothas. *Is looking for a danger cart - preferabley one that comes with a Meatwad*

Yeah, It kinda depends on the game.

For VII I use Yuffie and Tifa. Yuffie becomes a "mage" loaded up with magic magicite, kept back so she won't die.


But yeah, I use later characters. Sometimes its hard to put all of em into a party. Something I liked about VI was the multi-party sections, where you needed to use more than four characters.

That was the first one with the job system in it wasn't it?

I'm all over that when it comes out.


Oh, and I'm a 19 Blue Mage in XI now. Its starting to be a real fun class.

I personally use Vincent and Cid. Cid is a physical beast and Vince becomes a pretty powerful mage later in the game.

[SaferSephiroth]

My 7 party is Cloud, Cid, and Barret.

I think they're all cool, and they have multiple hitting Limit Breaks.

[gryphonred]

My FF7 crew is Vincent, RedXIII, Cloud. I've always wanted to try the gameshark trick to play Sephiroth but i never got one.

[Mägo de Oz]

Yay!! Pudding! I love pudding but I hate flan. Who else hates flan?

And I thought I was being ignored...

Well... I make a killer flan... then that might change the way you look at them :D

Cloud , Vincent, and Cid

Sometimes I change Cid for Barret
or
Vincent for Tifa

Since talk is on FF VII, has anyone ever beat Emerald or Ruby Weapon?

Years ago, before my old PS was stolen, I was working on Emerald Weapon, I think I came close, but never could pull it off. Even Mimicing Knights of the Round didn't work!

[Beta-Ray1378]

I have never beaten either of those weapons, though I have bumped into them a few times. Like I had no idea what the red thing by the Golden Saucer was so I ran into and it was the ruby weapon. I lost horribly.

[Beta-Ray1378]

Has anyone played Ehrgeiz? Its a fighting game with Final Fantasy VII characters and a seperate hackn'slash rpg. You can play as Cloud, Tifa, Vincent, Yuffie, Zack and Sephiroth in the fighting part.

Years ago, before my old PS was stolen, I was working on Emerald Weapon, I think I came close, but never could pull it off. Even Mimicing Knights of the Round didn't work!

I could never beat Ruby Weapon but as far as Emerald weapon goes he was pretty easy you just use gravity on him and it does quad-9 every hit. After awhile it dulls down but those first 5 or so hits cripple him.

The only part of FF7 I never beat besides ruby weapon was getting Knights of the round and that was mainly due to the fact that my PSX memory card got fried as soon as I got an S class Black Chocobo :ermm:.

Oh and yes and I intend to rejoin this clan as a Master Tonberry since nobody can beat the awesomeness of a midget with a lantern.

[Beta-Ray1378]

What about King Tonberry, can that beat a master Tonberry? Thats what I joined as King Tonberry, yup king of all tonberries.

[SaferSephiroth]

I cheated against Emerald and duped items with the W-Item trick. Lucky Sevens works wonders, and is super boring to watch.

As for Ruby, she rocked me until a friend pointed out that she's vulnerable to Hades. So I W-Summoned Hades to Stop him, and then Knights of the Round over and over. Sure, the Hades damage is small, but the status effect more than makes up for it.

And yes, Ehrgeiz is one of my favorite games. Sephiroth is like Superman in that he doesn't kick.

[shock man x]

I have never beaten either of those weapons, though I have bumped into them a few times. Like I had no idea what the red thing by the Golden Saucer was so I ran into and it was the ruby weapon. I lost horribly.

My brother beat them, I didn't spend the time to, nor did I do chocobo breeding to get the Knights of the Round materia so I wasn't in a position to kill the emerald.

Did 'bump into' the emerald when leaving the downed plane once. Didn't know he liked to sit in front of it at times.

I've beaten both weapons. The Emerald one wasn't too hard but the Rudy gave me a headache. With him, i just put all the cool stuff on cloud (auto-phoenix was a must) and hopefully the Ruby weapon didn't take Cloud out of the fight. I was all so sweet fightning the toughest boss one-on-one with Cloud. :cool:

Yup. I loved the game. I was actually trying to look for a copy of it a few weeks ago, but couldnt find one. Yeah, we used to have it on arcade near my house, and I owned everyone at it. It was great.


As for the weapons, I've beaten them both. I actually beat the Ruby the first, which is weird, because it's the hardest one, because it sucks up your enemies. Then the Emerald, I just kept using Knights and my limit breaks, and if you got the materia that allowed to you breathe underwater, you were fine.

Heh I liked X-2 as well. I mean to play it through a second time again sometime soon (I play all FF games more then once, some like FF7 many times heh). Yeah it was easy but still it was a lot of fun. Not my favorite final fantasy...but still no where near my least favorite. I like the story quite a bit, I also like Rikku (so any more of her is a good thing heh), and I like the multiple endings (I actually enjoyed the "normal" one most, not the special ones, I have seen all of them though). I haven't beaten it in perfect mode but I did see that ending. I didn't mind the dress sphere's idea either. There is a lot more humor in this one (which is why people may not like it as much) but I enjoyed that. PLus who doesn't like LeBlanc!!!! :)

Best part of the game is in the 'dective story' part with the machina going nuts. If you get Rikku as the one who did it you see some funny stuff.

Rikku is worth buying the game. But I'm a sad sad man....:(

Reports stated this guy was on a hunting trip, but someone will make a far-fetched connection: "This individual used to play Super Mario Bros, which is clearly a video game. We have a link and the entire industry will suffer."
I played though NBA Live 98 and it didn't make my fade-away any better. Can't these politicians make their reps elsewhere and leave my games alone?

I think I remeber this Walkthrough. Was it ever actually published? Cause when the game first came out, my friend bought it and bought a walkthrough with it. I remember the cover was black. And the normal walkthrough had a white cover. I remember the things inside were different as well. It never once brought up anything about the Ruby or Emerald weapon, but it did give a detailed write up about raising a Gold Chocobo.

It seems so. Here's an excerpt from the FAQ.

Hi, welcome to my newly-revised FF7 FAQ. I rewrote the entire thing from scratch, a process which took an ungodly amount of time to finish. I had been wanting to do this for a long time, but nothing drains your enthusiasm like plagiarism, and lord knows there was enough of that to go around a few years ago. This FAQ was reprinted in several European mags thanks to the hellspawned Future Publishing Co. Ltd, and I had to deal with the (thankfully now defunct) Game Cave giving it away as a "gift with purchase." Nevermind the many idiots who would re-release this FAQ with their name on it, or sites that would mess with it and refuse to take it down (like CheatCC.com). However, it was always my intention to rewrite the FAQ, and it's a good thing too, since v1.6 was
in sore need of some editing.

It's either that or WoW, which is mega popular. I also wanted to try RE: Outbreak, but I think its popularity has passed...

If you're a FF fan, then you'll have way more fun with FF than WoW. I just can't get into the WoW world but I find the FF world easy to understand from the begining due to all the stuff you're used to seeing in the other games.

Depending on what you get it on (PC, PS2, or XBOX) depends on the initial cost. For PC, which is what I'm on, It cost me 20 bucks for the game and first two expansions then another 30 for the expansion "Treasurs". The initial game comes with the first two expansions already in it.

XBox i think is somewhere around 40-50 bucks and comes with all three expansions already in it.

not sure about PS2

After that you get a month free to play, to see if you like it, then it's only 13 dollars for your first character and a 1 dollar each additional. Currently it cost me 15 bucks a month to play, which is a quarter of what i used to pay to play in Magic tourneis (so i just took the money from that and put it toward XI).

Money is tight with me too, but 15 dollars now isn't much. The inital start up will be, but just save 15 a month and you'll get it quick.

If you're on PC you don't even need the third expansion till later anyways since its only got the three new classes for low levels, the rest is for people over 60 anyways. (I've been there twice, once to see it and once to get Blue Mage, thats it though.)

If you play XI i'll even give you a world pass to Siren, the server I'm on.

WoW might be 'popular' but its all a matter of opinion really. A friend of mine plays WoW and I just don't see what the attraction is. Really the same game when you boil it down, just do you want a D&D-ish type world (whatever happened to D&D online?) wich is what WoW seems to be, or do you want FF type world?

Hope that helps you make you're decision.

I'll look into it more, my girlfriend is the one who looks up this stuff then tells me, I'll get her to post whats she knows sometime soon.

[venarnage]

What the hell? With this slow connection, I havent been able to research too much, so I kinda rely on you guys to bring me info on FF, but what's this about 3 versions of FF XIII? That's gonna be gay. I mean, maybe not if it's all packaged together, but you know its not going to be, or if it is, it's going to be hella expensive. Weird...if you guys hear anymore...feel free to post! You guys are my FF lifesavers...

[Dalandow]

One of the FFXIII is called "FF Versus XIII.

[venarnage]

Weirdness.

[gryphonred]

Found this on FF13. Looks like it is 3 games in the same U and one is done by the guys who did Kingdom Hearts. This is going to be very cool.

I set up some emulators on my laptop and I've been playing FF IV, translated to English by j2etranslations.com (now defunct).

IV is my personal favorite. Cecil is by far the best hero out of them all.

[bradley2099]

The music in that game was SO good.

[SaferSephiroth]

Cecil was a dynamic character. And I personally thought that game's challenge level was insane.

Zeromus scares me.

Yep, all the other FFs have been a little to easy after IMO.

Took me two months to beat Golbez in the Dwarf Castle. I like challenges like that, makes you feel good inside when you beat it and go on.

[Beta-Ray1378]

In Final Fantasy 8 I beat the boss at the end of third disc by having all my charcters go beserk. I left the room and when I came back, it said I had won. Too bad all my data was erased soon after.

[shock man x]

I still haven't been able to figure out the story in 8. The Lunar Cry is where it gets all "huh?" on me.

9 is the same way.

Actually, all of 'em after 6 have been kinda 'foggy' to me.

[Beta-Ray1378]

8 confused me more than 9. I understood most of 9 except when Zidane finds out what he really is, or something like that. The earlier games were more straight foward in their stories.

Should I take offense to this...........?

[Aeturnus]

...not really.

I kinda overlevelled - which I hate doing - and then the game froze. I'm freakin' level 53 now...workin my way up the cliff. I should prolly quit now, since I'll be killin' the game from now on. :(

[SaferSephiroth]

Heh. People automatically assume I hate Cloud, but I'm actually one of his bigger fans.

[Aeturnus]

...

Well, I meant the character Safer Sephiroth...I didn't even know there was a member here with that nick. xD

Anyhoo, found out why it kept freezing...the disc is scratched. I can't find my game doctor, so that's that for a while. ...this always happens to my Squaresoft games...pirates...every one of them.

I like your KO list, I just noticed that.

[Mägo de Oz]

Kain all the way!!!

He is the man... (I Love FF2... so many childhood memories...)
I play that everygame atleast once every 2 or 3 months... I just finished it yet again... ^_^ (can't get tired of it)

The rest of the FF don't have that with me... Only 6... Quite amazing...

[bradley2099]

4(2) is a great game. Can't get enough "Spoony Bards."

Hmm, I vaguely remember FF2.

Looks like I'll be be adding her to my friend list.

[venarnage]

I cant believe she's only got like 43 friends...

[Aeturnus]

Looks like I'll be burning my copy of FFVII.

I've never realized how much I hate this game. ...

...why can't all FFs be like #6 or #9? ...those were fun.

[venarnage]

What? Burn it? You're joking! Do you need help with something? Are you trying to make a Gold Chocobo?

[bradley2099]

I cant believe she's only got like 43 friends...

Yeah... but one of them is Lisa Loeb. Hmmmm... the thoughts of the two of them together...

[venarnage]

Are you trying to make a Gold Chocobo?


Umm...


Yeah.


I didn't try this last time 'round. I know how to do it too...


...still stuck on square one tryin' to get the male good chocobo from the Gold Saucer area. Got the other 3 I needed to start my quest, though.

Thats rare, I don't find many who like 9.

I like the retro of it, but the game itself bugged me.

Worst Blue Magic learning system (eat the monster, yeah thats fun), and getting your skills from items is always meh to me. (Another reason i'm not a fan of FFTA) Just never makes sense why you learn cure2 from your shoes....

So not looking forward to raising chocobos in XI.

I'll be the only one without one I think.....


Don't need to bother in VII, you kill ruby and get one don't you?

[Aeturnus]

...but I dun wanna wait til' the 3rd disc.

I want the Ancient Forest. Now.

...and I wanna do this without Cloud in my party. ^^ *Just got the Highwind*

[shock man x]

OMG!

Just watched a video on a friends computer where it was people taking down OMEGA (weapon) in FFXI, and you have to fight guys who appear to be in the Orginization's (KH2) robes.

The battle is done on an airship too.

OMEGA looks so kick ### too!

Arg! I need levels and i need them NOW!!!!!

[bradley2099]

DIRTY!


Yeah...I thought of it when I saw it....and that's all I've got to say about that.... :cheeky:

I didn't mean it like that :eek: :o !

[Aeturnus]

Arrrgh, I'm trying to do the Golden Chocobo/Ancient Forest quest post-Airship-acquisition. This is the pt. in the game before I visit Mideel and get Ultima...and Cloud.

So, I try to enter the Gold Saucer, but Dio shut the place down!!!

That ####er!

Is there any way to get around this jerk or do I have to wait for a different part on the disc to finish this sidequest?

OMG!

Can you send me the vid? :)

[SaferSephiroth]

I believe you have to progress the plot to get the Saucer to reopen.

GameFAQs is usually good about things, with the exception of that bogus GTA3 secret, and the misinformation that Heartless Angel will kill you.

[Beta-Ray1378]

Don't need to bother in VII, you kill ruby and get one don't you?
VII requires you to breed and race in order to get a golden chocobo.

[SaferSephiroth]

You can get one from trading the Desert Rose you get from defeating Ruby to the Kalm guy.

It's sort of a Catch 22 though, because you need the gold Chocobo to get Knights, which you need to kill Ruby.

[shock man x]

Can you send me the vid? :)

I'll ask my friend where it is and when i get the link I'll show you.

The vid is actually a party failing the battle three times I think.

I thought Ruby countered with Ultima if you use Knights on him.

Aye, just looked it up.

Damn, I gotta wait til' after the Mideel, Corel, Fort Conder, and Mideel (again) stops.

*Kicks Cloud in the nuts*

[SaferSephiroth]

I thought Ruby countered with Ultima if you use Knights on him.
Not if you use the first part of your W-Summon to summon Hades. :classic:

It sure beats casting Bahamut Zero over and over.

[shock man x]

Awe hell, and now I find out I need to kill Omega to gain access to an area dubbed 'Sea' so i can get my final spells as a blue mage.

Thats just wrong.....:disappoin

[Aeturnus]

Chocobo racing is the dullest RPG minigame ever. I need bluefem and greenm to reach A class stat. x.x

[venarnage]

Hmm..you must have not played blitzball...

[venarnage]

Hahah...Brad, you def. meant it like that! Don't lie!!!


Oh, and Shock, I loved 9. I loved the simplicity of it. Yeah, it did have a lil bit of childish tendencies, but I dunno..it just worked really well for me...

As for the Gold Chocobo Aet, if for some reason you can't seem to get it, I could always mail you my memory card... ;) Hahah. Nah, it shoudl be pretty easy with all the walkthroughs online...it'll just take time...and if you need help...we're here for that too..

[Beta-Ray1378]

I hate Blitzball, chocobo breeding was fun, just because I had nothing better to do.

[Aeturnus]

Whee, my female Black Chocobo is S Class!

...man, I wasted so much dough on those Sylkis Greens. I had to sell a mastered All materia to even afford another 99 batch of those. *Feeds 'em to his male Wonderful Chocobo*

...just gotta get this ol' boy to S Class, and I'll have that Gold Chocobo in no time.

Ooooh, I need a Zeio nut. I had no clue those things even existed 'til I accidently landed on the Goblin forest island.

EDIT: I haven't used a walkthrough for the Gold Chocobo sidequest 'cause I'm too damn stubborn. I've been trial and errorin' this up until one of my friends Kramer'd into my home and helped me out.

EDIT2...

query selffriendven and selffriendbeta, what is blitzball?

[shock man x]

Can you send me the vid? :)

BTW, Just got the adress last night. When I get home from work I'll post it.

It's cool I tell you. I think Ultima is in there too. The battle is the job changing arses in the black cloaks, then omega, then ultima.

It looks way rough. Cant wait to do it myself :p

I'm not a fan of most mini games.

The card game in 9 is the only exception. I liked that.

[Aeturnus]

I was so bad at that card game, but I loved the Choco sidequest in IX.

...is FFXI any good? Sounds difficult.

XI is a different beast than the others.

If you can get some friends in it, either on-line or real lifers who play then it makes things go smoother.

Levels are gained in parties though, so the amount you can do 'solo' is limited. There is plenty to do in the game. From crafting to fishing to just doing simple quests to the missions in your home nation.

It's not perfect, but it's fun. Honestly, I'm having more fun with it than I thought I would. Blue Mage rocks.

[Aeturnus]

Cool, thanks for the info.


So, I thought it'd be a good idea to fight Emerald Weapon at a party level of 64. He thought it'd be a good idea to kill me in 2 minutes. Yeah.

[Unknown_Riku]

Hey everyone! Here's the link that Shockman X was talking about.

http://hosted.filefront.com/smackdownbob

To see the video he was talking about download the file entitled UO.

Oh and on the Emerald Weapon front, there is a way to kill him in 78 seconds.

[Aeturnus]

Yeah, Mime + one of Barrett's limits.

Unfortunately, Barrett isn't in my main party...

...I rarely use the guy, and, thus, I only have 3 of his limit breaks.

I'm good. Sore, but good. Thanks.

[mmac27]

I was gonna mention....when I was down in Chicago for the Wizard World Event. I went to the Video Games Live Concert at the Rosemont Theater. I was a great time, the first video game concert I've been to. The had a girl play a bunch of the Final Fantasy songs on the piano, it was great. I love the music from Final Fantasy of course, the other stuff was great as well. They had Zelda, Mario, Metal Gear, Halo and so much more all set to orchestra music.

I actually own a lot of the Final Fantasy Soundtracks. I have FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10, FF10-2, FF11, FFtactics, FFtactics Advance, Final Fantasy 2/4 and some complitaitons. I own some other non-Final Fantasy ones as well. But Final Fantasy music is deffinitely my favorite by far!!! :)

[bradley2099]

I wanted to go to VGL, but my friends could't afford it. I did meet Tommy at GenCon!

[venarnage]

Wow. I just got PSM magazine, and it's got like a 12 page write-up on FFXII. It looks freaking amazing! There is also this write-up about a game called Okami. It's supposed to be like Zelda for Ps2. It looks freaking amazing too! Anyone heard anything about it?

[Mägo de Oz]

*Jumps in*

And the options are?

[SaferSephiroth]

What issue was this?
Issue #115, October 2006. The latest. Princess Ashe of FF12 fame on the cover.

[Dalandow]

Thanks, I'll have to pick that up.

[bradley2099]

And the options are?

I purchased a used copy of Metal Arms (that game alway looked intesting), my Lady gave my New Super Mario Bros for my b-day, my brother can't stop raving about Shadow of the Colossus (I'll have to get my PS2 back for that :laugh: ), and Madden is out (I can't help it; everyone around me is into football. Go Bears!) Not to mention Lego Star Wars 2 come out in less than a month. Too many good games... with MORE coming out this fall.

[venarnage]

Wow. So I read the review of FFXII. It's impressive how much info they put in about the game. I'm kinda indifferent from what I've read. I mean, its got a TON of pros, but there are a few cons. I'm going with the pros though...I think it's going to be pretty amazing....oh, and there's quite a few on FFXIII. It looks pretty sweet also!

So Okami. I guess you're this wolf god that has a person riding you, and you control the elements with a paintbrush and stuff. Yeah, I know it kinda sounds weird, but seriously check it out!!!


http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/okami/screenindex.html

[bradley2099]

That's what was up with Okami: the cool art style! Now I remember. Thanks for the remind.

If we get one of those player group banners, what do we want on it? I'm putting my vote for a Black Mage from the first FF.

[Dalandow]

The Black Mage would work best I think, since he seems to be an iconic symbol in the FF series.

[shock man x]

Um, I already kinda asked for a crystal to be the symbol. :nervous:


But lets put it to a vote I guess.

Black Mage is iconic to FF? Maybe you guys read to much 8-bit?

Chocobos, Moogles, crystals, and airships beat out Black Mages.

Black Mage is just a Wizard after all, a staple in any RPG.

[Dalandow]

Whatever, I don't care. Just as long as we get a tag.

[bradley2099]

But don't we want to represent more than FF. I like moogles... but they aren't very manly.

[shock man x]

But don't we want to represent more than FF. I like moogles... but they aren't very manly.


Well the clan is Final Fantasy, and Moogles don't show up anywhere but. Crystals show up in many FFs and RPG's in general, so I went with it to appeal to the 'basic rpger' as well as the FF fans.

I mean it could be a sword or something else generic.

We should be happy with it though, as I doubt we'll get to change it.

[bradley2099]

... a black mage would have been cool though.
