THE SHORTEST RPG EVER! sooo short and yet I had to play it for 60 hours trying to get perfect ending and I get a 98% completion... nooo! It's still a good game I guess... anyone else liked it as much I as I do?

[Colonel Tycho]

I really need to get a PS2. Final Fantasy calls to me... Sepiroth wants me to kill him badly... Cloud wants me there.... its starting to scare me....

[Julian]

heh, ya, thats really great.. but thats FF VII, stay on the topic

[Colonel Tycho]

I no its 7, but in the end, they are all FF games.

[Julian]

.. this topic is called Final Fantasy X-2. If you want to talk about FF VII or FF overall just make a new topic. this is about X-2!

[Colonel Tycho]

Okay now you are really startring to scare me mr policeman. It's just a message board. Nothing grand, just a place to hang out and talk with people that have the same interests as you do.

[Max]

I wish I had a PS2 to play FFX and FFX-2, but unfortunately I don't have the money... I love the "Real Emotion" song though, it's really good (sung by Kudo Komi, the real song, not the one in the game's intro).

And Tycho, this is a place to have fun, but have fun by the rules. We are going to be much more strict here then on most forums, so either straighten out your act or get out.

[Colonel Tycho]

Geez i have said i was sorry but this whole thing is kind of weird if you really think about it.

[Max]

I have thought about it, but I don't see how it is weird. All we ask is that you follow the rules and keep on-topic in all topics in all forums except the Spam Forum.

Ic! Real Emotions is really nice. I like it too. I listen to the Japanese version though, cause I got a free CD sent to moi from Japan! YAY! But it's a really addictive song.. once you listen to it it's stuck there... "... what can I do for you?..." heh... really awesome. you should try listening to 1000 words also.

[Eugine]

Final Fantasy X-2 is Awesome but i don't relly like the story... Gippal did you get 98% in one game? and did you get all the DSP... let me see i have Gunner, Thief, Warrior, Songstress (DUH) Black Mage, White Mage (DUH) Full Throttle (Used it Once) Gun Mage um i think thats it am in chapter 2 and i have 25% completion i just visited Macalenia Woods trying to get the Musicians for Toblii Assistant.. To the ATB system i love it my Yuna Mastered White Mage in Ghapter 1 and am currently mastering Gun Mage for here . Riku is my thief i think 48% for paine she is a Warrior

Who did you choose New Yevon or Youth League

[Julian]

heh, I had to play the game 3 times.... cough* and I got all the dess-spheres except the Mascot one. HOW SHOULD I KNOW MAKING RIN AS THE THEIFT CANT GET ME EPISODE COMPLETE?! heh, sorry... but at least I got gippal's sphere!

[Eugine]

Who did u choose youth leage or New yevon i choose Youth League next time i play the game i will choose new yevon.. But when you start over the game do you still get the DSP ablilites or you got to go learn it all over

[Iloverpgs]

hmmm.....I still need to play this game!Gah I really want to play this game...

[Issac_Zero2]

X-2's a pretty good game. I wouldn't say it's that short because you also have to master all the classes. Storyline gets a little wierd at first but its actually pretty good.

[Jon]

I think it's a fresh attempt to liven up the Final Fantasy series. I also think it works, too. :ph34r:

[Julian]

really?! well ya, your right.. but it's just too short for me. I mean I KNOW you've played FFX and the length was just about perfect. but you only get like five chapters on FFX-2... though it's so addictive I've played it 3.5 times ;)

Hmm, to make this more intresting... to the ones that HAVE played it, what dess-sphere is your favorite? I like the Lady Luck dress-sphere, I'd say it's really "awesomeness". heh. I use it to double my EXP btw, AND I can make myself RICH!

[Jon]

I have a lot of fun with the Gun Mage and Alchemist Dress Spheres. It's fun experimenting what you can get when mixing rare items, finding out what you get, then hitting the reset button. :wacko:

[Issac_Zero2]

Sword Mode...no doubt. I just like slashing the enemies' hearts out. The game is definately addicting with the fast gameplay.

[Julian]

cool, I dunno, I never really use the special dress-spheres... I usually use lady luck for EXP and my ultimate combo is 2 Dark Knights (darkness is awesome btw) and one Alchemist (stash, mega-potion) but whole, Alchemist takes so long to master...

[Eugine]

Hell no the game DIDN'T suck, I thought it was equal in enjoyment to Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X just had a better story, anyways here what happened.

MAJOR, BIG ULTIMATE SPOILER!
After entering the farplane, Yuna, Rikku & Paine met up with Baralia, Gippal & Nooj; it was time for them to fight Vegnagun!

After destroying Vegnagun, they had to fight Shuyin, he is the Tidus imposter who loves Lenne, after beating Shuyin...

ETERNAL SPOILER CONTINUE!!
The CG scene came, were Baralia, Gippal & Nooj said that the world was free from Vegnagun and again you have to thank Yuna. The then went unboard the Celcius and flew around Spira! BTW those scenes were more enjoyful than I wrote

END SPOILER



Anyways anymore thing for me to explain?

[Eugine]

LOL, that was the ending I just wrote, no Yuna didn't meet up with Tidus, Why not just play the game, its really short...

[Nemphtis]

Compared to older versions I disliked the FFX game, along with FFX-2, but I wasn't expecting alot from it since ever since Enix joined Square, square have screwed up alot...I am praying every night (Not really, just saying) so that they don't screw up Front Mission 4 for the PS2, I hope they keep it like the first one, but with better customizable Mechs. :P When FM4 is out, I'll be going Mecha Happy, probably change to a MEcha themed sig & avvy and change my username to "Mecha Anubis" (Not really, I'm actually joking). ^_^

[Julian]

-vegnagun, a mecha butterfly/machine wants to kill spira... whatever that means
-girl scout kills vegnagun with help from their minion friends
-they kill mad man who is unsent and is controlling vegnagun using his piano(sorta, hard to explain)
-bahamut's fayth appears and asks yuna if she wants to see tidus again
----
Yuna: yes (duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
Fayth: we will do whatever we can
----
(this is sorta stupid cause the fayths are suppose to be ded)
-everybody is happy
-they have a speech thingy
-girl scout dont attend
-they are on a red ship
-yuna is happy
-tidus wakes up from water (remember when u finish FFX, after the credits and everything? you see tidus waking up, stretching and swimming up? this scene is that exact same one)
-tidus swims to surface and sees besaid island
-walks to besaid
-walking
-happily walking
-in shallow end and kicking water as he walks
-turns around
-sees red thing in the sky
-red thing comes close
-almost hits tidus
-tidus ducks
-red thing is airship and this door from the bottom opens
-yuna jumps out
-tidys and yuna runs towards each other
-they hug
----
yuna: is it really you?
tidus: i think so... do i pass?

----
-paine and rikku smiles at each other
-yuna and tidus still hugging
----
???(wakka):　get a room you two!!
----
-paine, rikku, yuna and tidus look at besaid shore
-sees everyone from besaid and Wakka, Lulu and their new baby.
----
Tidus: who asked you to watch wakka?
----
-rikku, paine, yuna and tidus runs to everybody on the island
-tidus is hoding hands with yuna and is ahead
-yuna races up and runs ahead of tidus
----
Tidus: WOAH! -pause- you changed!!
Yuna: well, you missed a few things!
Tidus: i wanna know EVERYTHING!
Yuna: well, it all started, when i saw this sphere of you
----
END
(i have 99% so i don't have perfect ending)

[Dullahan]

x-2 is one of the best final fantasies yet.

My party kicks ass!

I have Mascot dressphere (aswell as all the others), The End garment grid, 2 Iron Duke and 100% story completion in 2 runs through.

[Julian]

you must have wasted a LOT of time, really... the game is good... but like, NOT THAT MUCH.

sry, but obviously you like the game much more than me.

[Dullahan]

It only took about 115 hours compared to my six 100 hour files on ff8.
I'm prepared to play an RPG as long as necessary in order to achieve results.
I have huge files on FF7,FF8,FF9,FF10,FF10-2,Star Ocean 2,Breath of fire 1+4,Golden Sun 1+2,Suikoden 1+2,Lost Kingdoms 2, Pokemon blue, red, yellow and silver, Mario and Luigi superstar saga and Diablo 2. It's safe to say RPGs are my fortè.

I will admit that the storyline on x-2 is truly diabolical.

[Dullahan]

Julian,

I hope you weren't expecting the perfect ending to be any good, it's a disgrace when you consider how much effort is involved, i won't spoil it, but it's not even in CG so you can't rewatch it in Luca.

[Julian]

wow! i bow to you great master of RPGs!!!
don't double post please.
i know it's not CG and i heard it was short, i'm trying to beat Trema right now so what i mean was that once i beat him, i'll automatically get the 1%. ^^

[Dullahan]

Sorry about that, are using the Cat-Nip stratagey or the Finale Stratagey?, i've beat him with both and the finale is much easier. If didn't already know you get the amazing Iron Duke afterwards, which gives +100%HP+MP,+100 Strength,Magic,Defense,Magic Defense, Accuracy,Evasion,+50 Luck and +10 Agility, a top accessory.

[Julian]

eek! i've been trying to beat him by hand!! lol, what's his name before Trema is really easy because i just use CONGRATS on him but then i only have 1-2 girls left... and i don't have the "the end" yet... *cries*

[Dullahan]

Just put Yuna on yellow health with Cat-Nip equipped as a Gunner, then use Trigger Happy on Trema, it does around 130,000! Beware of the Meteor once he gets to 50% health and another at 25%, keep the other two as Dark Knight (or Mascot if you have it). You did open the chest after killing the Black Elemental on floor 40, didn't you?

[M@ni@c]

Say...can you already get the good ending (the reunion of Tidus and Yuna) when you have 90%? (because I got exactly 90 %)

[Arkarian]

Definately i've got it with 'bout 85% complete im not as zealous as some when it comes to the gameplay.
I play final fantasy games for the storyline, as far as i'm concerned in most games the story is there to complement the gameplay, however in final fantasy games it's the gameplay which is there to complement the storyline. I loved the depth of the story in Final Fantasy 10 (can u tell im an avid book reader yet) and the one thing I hate about a storyline, is it's ending as i dont want them to end, the best thing square ever did is bring out a sequel to a final fantasy game, the storyline of X-2 though slightly incoherent due to the method of unlocking being so spasmodic with the ability of your gameplay, was perfectly understandable however as i was so immersed in the storyline on my first run through, i neglected to do alot of the % complete stuff and so am having to go through it all over again. I've been able to unlock the good tidus&yuna ending and find it hilarious. Much better than some silly boat that everybody's "sailing" in. Trust me for any others just starting the game out there, do the game properly first time, otherwise you'll end it on a downer.

[Sol's Djinn]

Yay! Made 100%! Yay!

[Tekno]

I got 100% a while ago, only took me 2 times through and am at 100 hours or something.
Even got the mascot dressphere which is so much fun to use xD XD

Nega/Black elemantal is so annoying, 3 times I challenged him and 3 times he used ultima first round x__x;;

I like the game, I believe it enhances FFX in some way. Although at some points the game is terrible, the gameplay as in rpg battles is brilliant and fast paced, I have difficulties playing X-2 after playing IX for a while because of the difference of speed.

--

Maniac, you need to press X (read bash X) once you are alone in the farplane depths at the end of chapter three. Also talk to meachen a lot .... and chapter 5 when you see bahamut's fayth just select yes ^^;

[Sol's Djinn]

I haven't actually played it for awhile.... been busy with 7.

[Death's Reaper]

I'm still playing FFX-2 and so far I think it's GREAT :unsure: ^_^ Does anybody know where you can find piano sheets for 'Real Emotion'? I play piano and I reall y want to play it. Off topic, whose your best character in X-2? Mine's Paine or Yuna. Hey check out my pic!!! It's the imposter Yuna singing ^_^

How did you manage to die from Ultima if you have Mascot?
It has really high magic defense AND auto-shell, surely if have 100% complete you'll have one Iron Duke which will give 255 magic defense and ultima then does around 400 damage. I'm currently on my third run trying to get the remaining accessories and garment grids, it's the bloody gunner's gauntlet that's stopping me, it's good fun anyway especially with Mascot and no worries about the stroy or triggering certain events.

[Water Assassin]

Well, I haven't got FFX-2 but I rented it and i have to say this:

Ive also got FFX and yes, FFX beats FFX-2, even though I didn't really get too far of X-2 (I spent too much time talking to everyone :lol:*), I'd say that its a good game, but SE did take a big risk by changing the system.

The RTB are welcome back and the levelling system is also appreciated. Note that the game is not girly, it just wanted to focus the game on Yuna and to do that they came up with the dress spheres. Also, I like the mission based style compared to the linear pilgrimage (I got up to the Ice temple when I decided that i'd restart and use the advanced sphere grid).

Rikku is my favourite cause as far as her personality goes, I am a male match (check out the j00 section) and also cause I share her views (I actually used disasteriffic as a word before playing the game ^_^*)

Also, go to www.ffspirit.net for the soundtrack and some FMV's.

[Dullahan]

i prefer 10-2 to 10, the gameplay is much much better and 10 is too linear.

[Eugine]

>;< I need help with Sphere Break! I can't beat Shinra in Chapter 3 ;)

[Dullahan]

Read the rules on Echoes and use them to beat him, just constantly use 3 or 4 in each break and the echo bonus will rocket your score, just pray no ones come up.

[Water Assassin]

YAY! I got X-2!

Well, I suppose the X-2 booers are more than likely those people who liked FF7. Personally I didn't think that FF7 was as good a game as other people made it out to be :(

[Mycarayne]

I didnt think X-2 was as good as FFX. "charlies Angels" ring a bell?

Hey, Water Assasin, whats up with Spira fantasy, I dont work no more

[BloodPhoenix]

i heard ffx-2 was absolute ****, but i was guna get it to get the rest of the story! even thou i didn't complete ffx cus the game nacked! :(

[Water Assassin]

Sorry, I didn't actually say that X-2 was better than FFX, I actually think the other way 'round.

I apologise for the hundreds of people I just insulted. Its just that FF7 wasn't exactly my kind of game.

[Mycarayne]

It isnt ****, Its actually pretty good. But It isnt as good as FFX

[Julian]

that's the truth.. for some reason, i liked the sad ending in FFX... it made the story more deep and meaningful... "life is never fair, but we must keep on living" "never forget the ones we love..."

wow, powerful morals, i just like that kind of stuff... life isn't always happy happy, it made me satisfied and blown away by the game.

[Dullahan]

Any FF gamer who insults FF7 is a fool, it's quite easily the best of the lot.

very good song. you might want download oceans of love too. also good song. but anyway, I think X-2 isn't that good. look at the intro, it's FF for sake, not some Idols show. I haven't played it all, but does Tidus enters X-2 too?

[Dullahan]

has anyone noticed the ever increasing amount of songs in FF games, their usually crap and annoying.

Real Emotion is really, really bad but 1000 words isn't bad

[Golden Legacy]

Yesiree folks, a guide to the history of the Final Fantasy Series!!!! =D

Note: All versions are the United States releases unless otherwise stated (that means Japan :D)

Final Fantasy I- Originally for WonderSwan Color and NES, released in the United States in July 1990- later also released as a part of Final Fantasy Origins of the PSone in Spring of last year-
a GBA remake, along with Final Fantasy II (more on that later) is either already out in Japan, is dyingly close to being released- a North American release is set for fall of this year.
Also, the WonderSwan Color version will be available on Japanese cell phones later this year- sweetness for them -_- meh for the rest of us :mellow:

Final Fantasy II- known in Japan as Final Fantasy IV Easy Version- for the SNES, later remade as Final Fantasy IV (U.S.) for the Psone.

Final Fantasy II- The “Real” Version- Psone- If you are confused, then it is to be understood. The United States has experienced two Final Fantasy II games- this is the one that corresponds to Japan’s Final Fantasy II, hence the “real one” (this is different then the previous one, the one known in Japan as Final Fantasy IV Easy). This became available later for the Psone as a part of FF origins- this is the title that will be released with Final Fantasy I for GBA

Final Fantasy III- for the SNES, released October 1994, nothing much except this introduced Limit Breaks into the series- the Japanese version is FFVI, later remade and re-released in the United States for the Psone as also FFVI.

Final Fantasy III- Japanese version for the Famicon (SNES), the only FF game yet to be released in the U.S. and it’s not coming out soon, so blargh…

Final Fantasy IV- part of Final Fantasy Chronicles, known as FF IV- Hard Version, in Japan. FFIV is essentially the Final Fantasy II (known in Japan as FFIV- Easy) originally for the SNES.

Final Fantasy V- Psone, part of Final Fantasy Anthology… nothing much to say here, but just to make sure… ahh, sorry…

Final Fantasy VI- Psone, released October 1999, also as a part of FFAnthology- basically a remake of the U.S. Final Fantasy III for the SNES.

Final Fantasy VII- yayz, Sephiroth =D for those of you not aware, this game will feature a new CG-movie sequel called Final Fantasy VII- Advent Children, for the PSP (darned PSP * grumbles *… sorry, excuse the language… meh)… there is also a prequel being made for Japanese Cell phones called “FFVII- Before Crisis”, which will also include multi-player. Released for Psone/PC

Final Fantasy VIII- also for Psone/PC, this edition offered “PocketStation” support for new items, etc. within the game, but the PocketStation was never released in North America, so… arrghy arrgh arrgh o.o

Final Fantasy IX- the last to appear on the Psone, a return to the “classic RPG setting” of Fairytale stories. Famed character designer for FFI through FFVI, Yo****aka Amano, returns.

Sorry if I made any errors… but I hope it’ll help and prove to be at least somewhat interesting… err, sorry…

*whew* :)

[Heavyblade504]

wow, you know your FF games.

[Linear]

That's cool that you know a lot of Final Fantasy Games. I played only a few. =\

[ForteGX]

I'm a little confused about the FF-X games, though. Are they, like, a substory?Like Megaman X?

Dumb question, yes, but...

[Eugine]

I thought Real Emotion was brilliant, especially the Japanese version.

[Nerid]

wow..you know your FF stuff! I'm currently playing my first ff game and its FF8...Its GOOD!!!

[Golden Legacy]

Thanks everyone.
To be honest, I haven’t played all of them… Just I-III (II being the “easy” version :)), I started to, though I couldn’t complete, FF Chronicles (IV) and I’m currently playing VII. The thing to note is that many of the Final Fantasy are remakes (e.g. III and VI) so yeah…

Plus, I’ve played them * so long * ago that I can’t really remember much about them.

Also, I included VIII and IX as “extra”- the purpose was simply to show old FF games, from the beginning…

Err, I hope it helped =D

ON TO LEGEND OF ZELDA!!!!

[Bomber_X]

i've only played ff 2,3,4,5,7, tactics and x-2 and no its not lke megaman :)

[shadowknight]

jees ^_^ , how do you know all that?? are you some kind of FF genius? even if I had played all the games, I wouldnt be able to remember all that!

[Dullahan]

what about 10 and 10-2?

their final fantasies too!

[Dullahan]

i've noticed there isn't a specific topic for FF so i made one .

Talk about anything FF!

I'm currently finishing off files from 7 to 10-2.

My 7 party is leveling up off Magic Pots
My 8 party is maxing it's stats with stat up items
My 9 party is finishing off the card game
My 10 party is getting max stats to fight the harder dark aeons
My 10-2 party is on it's third run for a third iron duke.
My Selkie on Chronicles is collecting artfefacts before killing the end boss.
I haven't played Tactics, but from i've seen it looks slow and boring.

[Golden Legacy]

Yes, yes. But again, the purpose was to show "old" Final Fantasy games. I simply assumed that everything after IX was somewhat straightforward, since it really is less confusing...

I'm still working on the Legend of Zelda one :unsure:

[Dullahan]

IX isn't exactly old.

i'll try a Zelda one

The Legend of Zelda (1986 - Famicom/NES, re-released on Game Boy Advance in 2004 as part of the Classic NES Series)

[Valistrix]

FF7 is totally awsesome. I've played all of em from 1-CC but FF8 really dissapointed me as there was no MP and stats didnt go up normailly but I think CC is brillaint

[Dullahan]

It's easy to get stats on 8, just keep a low level til you get cactuar then equip all the bonuses (except hp) and get to lvl 100 your stats improve considerably.

[Dullahan]

why?! it's not as if it's understandable.

[Ganon]

good but not very detailed

[Ganon]

the zelda one i mean

[Dullahan]

i didn't put an awful lot of research into it and don't double post.

[Kikuichimonji]

Zelda history good anyways but that's off topic, make a separate one!

[gsninja]

This is a Final Fantasy topic. I've only played FFX-2 and FFTA.

[Linear]

Well...at least you played some FF games. :mellow:

[gsninja]

You havent? darn, cuz they are teh bomb*

[Linear]

No, I have played FF games.

[gsninja]

*peeling onions...again* you should get one of 'em.

[Linear]

I said...I DID PLAY THEM!

Listen more carefully.

[gsninja]

Sorry. It's not what I meant to say.

[Linear]

@_@ Oh...alright. Just be careful what you type next time.

[gsninja]

K. I need to PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!

[Linear]

I suppose, yes you do need practice...now...back to the FF topic.

[gsninja]

Final Fantasy X-2 was the best FF game I played. I still wanna play FFX...

[Linear]

If you still want to play it...go and play it then!

[gsninja]

I dont have FFX! *sobs*

[Linear]

Oh...o_O;; Ok, I get it sorta.

[gsninja]

Have you played FFX or FFX-2?

[Linear]

Yup. I played them. ^___^ I like those games!

[gsninja]

They are teh cream of teh crop.

[Linear]

I just have fun in fighting the enemies and bosses and etc. :mellow:

[gsninja]

Same here. The Leblanc Syndicate were the best enemies in the game.

[Linear]

=S Sometimes I mess up though. XP NNOOO!!!!!!!

[gsninja]

What do you mean by that, Lin?

[Linear]

Sometimes I push the wrong button. =P I hate it when I do that.

[gsninja]

I do that too. Choosing wrong options in battle is probably one of the most annoying things.

[Linear]

XP It's very annoying if you ask me.

[gsninja]

The Leblanc Syndicate is my favorite group in FFX-2 other than the Gullwings.

[Valistrix]

Yeah I put Ultima and Thundaga in their stats but who has completed CC?

[gsninja]

I think FFX-2 was the best of all the FF games.

[Dullahan]

Link, on Sep 19 2004, 11:27 AM, said:

i'm up to Mio Raem with a Selkie but it's just crap he's too hard.

Why Thundaga?

The best junctioning magic is

HP=Flare
Strength=Meteor
Vitality=Meltdown
Magic=Triple
Spirit=Full-Life
Speed=Haste
Evade=Tornado
Hit=Double
Luck=Aura

btw ultima is the best in everything except speed, hit and evade which triple is, just ultima in elemental defense protects against everything.

[Dullahan]

Now i know where all the posts that shpould be in ff topic are, this is supposed to be about ff history not how easy it is to beat the leblanc syndicate or whatever (which is very easy).

[Wild Fox]

I feel so special now...we just got a PS2 and I finally am able to play FF. *faints* It's so beautiful...I'm playing FFX and I LOVE IT!

Which of the older games (VII, VIII, etc.) do you guys reccomend?

[MysticWarrior]

Sadly, I played both FFX and FFX-2 and am not addicted to it. =/

[Linear]

I played the games over again, and I'm not very addictied to it anymore like I used to. Maybe it is because I played it too many times, and I just got tired of it. :mellow:

[Arkarian]

I've played FF-9, 10 and 10-2. I've tried but never got into 7 and never really ever seen 8 nor ave I played crystal chronicles, did anyone ever find out what Garnets real name is, from 9?

[Echo_djinn]

Yeah ok I never really got into the FF games but does Yuna have a borther just want to know here?

[Silo STATIC]

From here on out, anything that's official with each series is pinned untill Max can approve of that decision. I am just merely promoting the topics, but if it is connected with a certain popular series, I shall pin it up anyway. That is all.

[Linear]

I still play the FF games. But...I dont play them as much anymore. Yuna...well...there are some that dont like that character. Some say Yuna Tuna. >.<;; I like Yuna...I have an animated avie of her! :)

No, Yuna doesn't have a brother. Her father is Lord Braska(and that's all I know about Yuna's family ties.

[Linear]

There isn't really much to talk about Yuna's family though. Wait...aren't Rikku and Yuna related? (If they aren't, dont ask how that came out from my head. It just did)

[Valistrix]

I didnt really like FFX-2 it just wasnt that good to me but i just got FF11 for the PC! its brilliant

[Kikuichimonji]

FFX-2 didn't do it for me either, neither did tactics...dunno why though

[Dullahan]

now i have a PS2 i can play 10 and 10-2 whenever! Hurrah!

I slaughtered all the original monsters in the battle arena yesterday, Neslug was the only remotely tough one, need to get luck to max-super tedious!
i use Tidus, Auron and Yuna, although i'm doing Rikku (entirely because of Godhand).

on 10-2 i use 3 mascots when killing anything hard e.g. Chac, Trema, Paragon etc.
but when i'm playing for fun 3 warriors are good hack! hack! hack! gunner and gun mage are fun too

[Arkarian]

Yuna has family ties to only a couple, Rikku is Yuna's cousin as is the character named Brother. both Rikku and Brother are Brother and Sister. Cid of the Al Bhed is Rikku and Brothers Dad and is also Yunas Uncle, Lord Braska is Yunas dad.

[The Postman]

I've always wanted to get FFX and FFX-2, but I got a GameCube and not a PS2, so that sorta ruined it...
At least I got Metroid! It's annoying to like both.

[Dullahan]

i have full access to any GC or PS2 i want to play.

I'm only missing Gil Plus and Enemy Away on FF7 and then i've all the materia!!! ha!

[Mycarayne]

I just finished FFX-2 the other day and the ending was great. It really summed the story up, although, It wasn't the completion ending (I only got 91%) I got the Happy ending where *spoilers* Tidus and Yuna reunite. I liked it. Did anyone else?

[Dullahan]

you're joking right?

i hated that ending, especially the 100% one, not the best reward for all that hard work.

Anyway, i only need to kill Dark Yojimbo before i can fight Penance on FF10, but he still has some equipment i need.

[Valistrix]

Hey does anyone have FFXI, and I to think the ending of FFX-2 is lame, after spending 2 hours on Vegnagun.

[Mycarayne]

you spent 2 hours on Vegnagun? pffft. I spent like 20 minutes tops. Shuyin was a pain coz he did "Terror of Zanarkand ala Blitzace" heaps, killing instantly. Sorry if I liked the Ending...

[Mycarayne]

Has anyone ever thought that blitzball should make a proper game?

Personally, I think it would go great on GBA, Reasons:

1)It wouldn't be a big game anyway
2)I think the GBA could handle the graphics, although, they wont be spectacular
3)It would be a great game to play in the car/ in a plane
4)The interface of the GBA (controls) would be ideal
IE: A = confirm shot/pass/tackle etc (general confirming things)
B = Go back a menu
R = increase adreneline |__ (FFX-2 style)
L = decrease adreneline |

Besides being the FFX-2 style, I think it would rock!

sorry about double posting

[Linear]

@.@ just dont double post again. ^^ Blitzball is fun.

[ForteGX]

I'm looking forward to the re-release of FF 1 and 2 on the GBA. (Finally I can get into the franchise). Anyone know the specific release dates?

[Linear]

no, i dont know, but i wished i did. >.<

[Mycarayne]

SAME! They'll be a great investment for long drives :) reckon they'll be before december this yeah :blink: :) doubt it

None the less, it would still be cool if it happened you know. :)

[Dullahan]

Damn Yojimbo! He's died atleast 50 times now and still hasn't dropped the right armour.

As for 10-2, anything other Chac, Paragon, Trema, Cocherer and Azi Dahara die from one hit from my super party, that includes all the end bosses.

I'm looking foward to the gba FFs aswel, they improving the graphics and things aren't they

[Mycarayne]

I couldnt be bothered with getting the right drops, I decided to just bribe and make my own stuff. Longer, but its a surefire way.

TIP: for easy money, fight Kottos 2 times in the monster arena (Recieve 40 healing springs upon each victory) buy a "tetra" whatever armor from wantz in the woods, and costomise it with "auto-regen" only. -it should still have three empty spots. sell this for 225000 i think (more than 200 thou anyway) for a nice profit. Do this repeatedly for big bucks $$$. I did this and saved up enough for 30 wings off Malboro's (540000 for each bribe, getting 2 at a time) now my kimahri has break HP limit, Ribbin and two empty slots, backed up by 25000 HP also... but I like Auron the best and I aint savin up that much again!

[Valistrix]

What there coming out on GBA aswell, man I only recently got them for PS man, what a waste.

i've already got armor for Yuna, Tidus and Auron my party.
Each has Break HP Limit, Ribbon, Auto-Haste, Auto-Protect.
Rikku and Wakka have their armor to, even kimahri has ribbon and 3 spare slots.
Yojimbo's dead now anyway and Penance isn't particularly tough, i just need Rikku's stats max and use her overdrive to heal. also need 3 tonberries before i can fight Nemesis.

My main party has these stats

HP=64,000
MP=999
Strength=255
Defence=255
Magic=255
Magic Defence255
Agility=255
Luck=140
Evasion=255
Accuracy=255

[Mycarayne]

I would just like to say... congratulations Dullahan. You rock. How many goddam hours you got on that file? A billion?

[Dullahan]

only 124 hours, that's nothing to my friends, they where on it 240 hours and i have a better party than them.

[Mycarayne]

damn! im on 126, but most of that is thanks to blitz (like 30 hours i think)

[My Best Wishes]

yeah i loved blitzball, but not on ffx-2 i reckon it sucked on ffx-2
overall i stopped ffx-2 when i got to the last boss cos my friend showed me the ending, and 100% is way to hard
hey and Max eairler in the topic u said thius was more strict then other forums, why?

[Mycarayne]

there were pros and cons to FFX-2 blitz, but I didnt mind it. It was alot faster, but still, using the "Jecht shot" in FFX was awesome. As was everything else. Mwa

[Valistrix]

I liked the Jecht Shot 2 in FFX, it is superb.

[Mycarayne]

I havent actualy got that one yet, but I heard it rocks.

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

I liked both X and X-2. X was good but for me, when speeding through the introduction (up to Besaid) took like two hours. X-2 I liked because it was heaps easy to get into it and the music was funky.

What were your favourite moments in FFX? Mine has always been both the
Operation Mi'ihen and the assault on Bevelle (That was like the best, ever!).

Um, this is an official topic now, so I think it's safe to talk about the other games now.

Hey DTWA where have you been, what has happened to your forums, Spira Fantasy. My fav part in FFX is the assult on Bevelle as I love the music and scene.

[Mycarayne]

I agree, the assualy on bevelle sends a shiver down my spine till this day. That and "The Spring" scene. Truely great.

In FFX-2, my favourite bit was the "good ending" scene. It was great, I won't go into details as some have still yet to get it. The "1000 words" song/FMV was BRILLIANT! I loved it. Usually I don't like that sort of music, but I downloaded that song ASAP! It is truely a masterpeice.

Yeah I downloaded that, and I downloaded 'Real Emotion' that two was good.

[Mycarayne]

I didnt like that real emotion as much as 1000 words. the FMV was really good though. The expression on Rikku's face when that gaurd finds her... Priceless.

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

The forum collapsed of its own accord, too many features, not enough people.
I am looking into creating another one, though.

Is 1000 words one of those sad ones, and does it contain any spoilers? I haven't gotten that far into the game yet.

Yeah it's one of thoses ones and no it contains no spoilers

[Mycarayne]

Ah, Ive just downloaded a whole heap of new songs: real emotion included. It aint so bad.

[Valistrix]

...Anywhoo, who has FFXI, I do, it is the best FF ever!

[Mycarayne]

how mush does XI cost? I want to get it

[Dullahan]

More than the others, the first ff you have to pay to play, i'm not willing to do that, it won't be in the same league as the others anyway too much like Phantasy Star and that type of RPG.

[Mycarayne]

Hmmm, yeah i heard about that, me not like. FFXII Is gonna be alright I hope. I saw a few traliers of it recently. The battle system is completely different, but whether its in a good way or a bad way...well, im gonna find tht out when i buy it...

[Dullahan]

i saw the trailer you get with Star Ocean 3, it looks amazing and could be as good as 7.

As for 10 i've now finished after horribly maiming Penance and Nemesis.
Now getting my third Iron Duke and a Key to Sucess on 10-2

[Matthias]

OMG! Final Fantasy... SHORT??? Dude! IT's so long! Anyways, Final Fantasy is one of my favorite RPGs! Ahhhhhhh... thank you for dat PS2 Santa Claus! <_< I like FFX more than FFX-2. FFX-2's plot is kinda stupid... it's just Yuna lookin' for Tidus the WHOLE game. It is kinda sad though...

Godammit, you rule. The best item in FFX-2 is the ribbon. Argh.




Its too bad that they didn't leave room for an FFX-3. *sigh*

It cost around £30 to buy and it cost £5 per month which isn't that much considering it's such a good game.

[Mycarayne]

I agree with the main character thing, though I think he looks like an arabian theif,. well that was my first impression. At least all the rest like Cloud, Squall and Tidus all looked cool.

[Valistrix]

There is a down side with FFXI as you pay monthly and they nearly always doing maintanence work.

[Mycarayne]

yeah, that sucks. Its a nice concept as its aiways growing I guess, but still, it could be inconvenient

[Valistrix]

But I think it is becuase the game is new and Square-Enix wants everything to be perfect.

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

I am really, really looking forwards to XII. It's cut scenes are amazing and Ivalice has always been one of my more favourite FF worlds (with the races and whatnot).

[Valistrix]

I thought that Ivalice was a place in FF Tactics Advance.

[Daniel_WaterAdept]

Yes, it is. The races are the same but the situation seems different this time.

[Valistrix]

Oh right, what console is FFXII coming out for?

[Mycarayne]

As far as I know, PS2. Maybe PC as well.

[Valistrix]

If it is coming out for PC I will get it for PC becuase of it's grapihcs, and you might be able to download cool things.

[Mycarayne]

PC graphics? Pffft, PS2 is heaps better. if you want some trailers of FFXII, go to www.gametrailers.com and look it up. Some of them are great.

[Valistrix]

No the graphices on the PS2 are not better than most PC's.

[Mycarayne]

Awww. Talk about shut down. I guess your right, in most cases anyway.

[Dullahan]

it's already out on the PC and probably much better than ps2 one

[Mycarayne]

Im shocked. How could you say it'd be better than on PS2? Beh, your right I guess.

[My Best Wishes]

??????? ffxII isn't out already, ffxI is but that looks crap

[Mycarayne]

yeah, but the lead girl is in the same ball park as Yuna... *hint* *hint*

[Dullahan]

what the hell are you talking about?!

my ff7 seven party needs one more mastered knights of the round to be finshed and truely immortal.

FFXI is not crap, it uis massive and online, 100 times better than any other FF game there is.

[gsninja]

FFX-2 is a kickass Final Fantasy game. It's really awesome.

[Linear]

All the Final Fantasy Games are good if you like the games a lot.
Besides, some people just say that, is either because they never played the game before, or just because they think it's bad because in what the cover looks like...
The games are really good in my opinion.

[gsninja]

The FF games are all good. They are popular also.

[Dullahan]

popular is an understatement, they tend to be the only RPG released over here that you can buy easily

[Mycarayne]

Thats true. I really want to buy The Legend of Dragoon, but noone has it.
Im stuck with a crappy burnt one from bali. *cries*

Just curious: Is Trema really as hard as he is made out to be? Because Im going after him!

[Dullahan]

that depends on your strength, if your as strong as me (which i doubt) then you'll maul him, if it's your first time he'll maul you. Only use Dark Knight and Gunner (or mascot instead of dark knight) warrior if you have none of them. Gunner needs cat nip and yellow health, use trigger happy with gunner, Dark Knights must have 255 defense, which is easier than it sounds. Dark Knights will be able to take Trema's attacks and revive the gunner when necessary.

YOU MUST USE A SOUL SPRING ON TREMA AT THE START OF THE BATTLE.

he will now not be able to use demi, flare and ultima. he can still use Meteor and will after taking 500,000 damage, then again after 750,000. If you damage him too quickly he was cast them one after another and your dead. He has 999,999 HP and you have to fight Paragon immediately before him.

However if your party is like mine that is

Yuna-Mascot-The End-Iron Duke-Key to Sucess
Rikku-Gunner-Highroad winds-Cat Nip-Speed Bracer
Paine-Mascot-The End-Iron Duke-Champion Belt/Regal crown

i've just killed Chac on my third run and the last 20 floors won't be a problem either-Rikku needs an Iron Duke.

my stratagey manipulate the atb and maims enemys as a result.

Yuna changes dress sphere
Paine changes dress sphere
Yuna changes again
Paine changes again
pass through all gates on the end
use Finale with both characters on unfortunate foe

Note: whilst changing dressspheres the enemies atb freezes
Finale does 99,999 a hit
enemies die

Note2: to get the end you need to see every fiend in oversoul

that's enough bragging

here's something i discovered yesterday and is incredibly useful.

QUADRUPLE GIL AND ITEMS

Acessories needed:Key to Success
Dress spheres needed:Lady Luck
Abilites need:Double Items(Lady Luck), Gillionaire (Lady Luck), Double All (KTS)

Lady lucks abilitys give double exp. gil and items, double all then doubles this (i'm unsure about the exp as i have them with different characters) so you get 4x gil and items. Lets put that in perspective, 1 Volcan drops 24 Fire Gems!

Note: to get Key to Success, you to let the guado be maimed by the Ronso, it's in a chest in Tobli productions in Guadosulam in chapter 5.

[Mycarayne]

Well, you certainly rock. The End sounds to hard to get... any shortcuts you know of? (I already knew how to get it). This is my first run through, so yeah.

Note... Lady luck's "four dice" is good for Cat nip also, Im not sure which is better, but I beat Angra Mainyu in 4 rounds this way... Bua ha ha.

Progress report: Im up to Lv forty and Pwning it. *SPOILER* Jyscal was hard though. i had to use Charon on him, lol, died in one hit.... *maniacal laugh*

[Dullahan]

errr you don't fight jyscal.

to get over soul quickly get something in oversoul e.g. a dog, run away and do not kill it! the next dog you fight will also be oversoul, rinse and repeat until the entire species is done, if you get the end this way you can't use Finale on your current run through.

Anyway i'm in Via Infinito for the forth time, on floor 60 and about lvl 80.

[Mycarayne]

Actually Mr. Professional, you do. "The Black Elemental". That thing is Jyscal, sort of.

[Echo_djinn]

I want to know why they continued the FF10 series and made a FF10-2?

[Mycarayne]

Two reasons:
1: Because the story wasn't finished...
2: They're was alot of money to be made

[Dullahan]

Memories Remain, on Nov 22 2004, 09:41 AM, said:

so all the black elements you fight as random fights after floor 80 are Jyscal to? i don't think so

The story finishes in 10-2, that doesn't make any good

especially when you've played through 4 times and the stupid computer is soadamant that you'll enjoy some stupid cutscene, that you can't skip it.

[Mycarayne]

*rolls eyes* Ok, those ones arn't, but you said "You don't fight Jyscal" Correct? Just thoguht I'd point out that you do.

[Dullahan]

you meet Jyscal in the farplane on 10, so how can he be unsent?

on my fifth runthrough now, i've missed the first Tidus four times, ican't remember how you get it, there's the four whistles in the farplane after Ixion and whistling again after Veganagun, anything else?

i've 4 iron dukes now, Yuna gets 2.

[Mycarayne]

Damn, she's practically imortal... Im still at level 50, the first run through

[Dullahan]

pratically immortal? wrong; immortal

check these stats

Yuna
lvl 2
HP 956
MP 335
Strength 234
Magic 229
Defence 255
Magic Defense 255
Agility 77
Accuracy 255
Evasion 215
Luck 112

Auto Abilities- Auto Protect, Auot Shell, Ribbon, Arcana, Swordplay.

Garment Grid The End
Dressphere Mascot
Accessory 1 Iron Duke
Accessory 2 Iron Duke

the shell and protect effectively 510 defence and magic defense!

Remember this is at LEVEL 2!

lvl 99 is max strength and magic and MP aswell as 20,000 HP

if your struggling in via infinito train in the farplane for a while, omega weapons give alot of exp. you are using Dark Knight aren't you?

[Mycarayne]

Well, paines done the Dark knight, so I think shes doing samurai. Yunas on lady luck, for leveling. And Rikku's is just finishing off the Alchemist. Then Her and Yuna will both have mastered it. Then I'll put paine on it.

Just curious, does Yuna actually EVER get hit? with an evasion of 215, one would think not

[FlyingCow]

um isnt FF 1+2 commign out on the GBA, Im goign to ge tit for sure, I palyed the first 2 FF on an emulator but that was a long time ago.
