[Mewt]

I'm very surprised that not many people have noticed that Yuna has odd eyes - I thought it was pretty obvious. O__o;;;

I've never properly used the special dresspheres, I just use them randomly for fun. I like the fact that along with the girl there are 2 'supports' as well, otherwise I'd be put off using them at all.

[Mycarayne]

yeah, they arnt really nesseccary.

And getting the secret items to access HP break and Damage break really detered me; because I can't get into the chocobo dungeon :D

[Nemphtis]

Wrong, I knew Yuna was a retard the second I saw her. :D

[Mycarayne]

How do you justify that?

[Nemphtis]

One phrase: "Look into my eyeeees!".

This piece of meaningless text has been bought to you by the Anti-Spam policy that was introduced in 1988.

[Mycarayne]

...right?

You think yuna is a retard because of two different colored eyes?

[Nemphtis]

Indeed, she's cute but she's got issues. Rikku's the way to go! :D

[Mycarayne]

Yeah. Lenne's way better looking that Yuna in my opinion. They should do FFX-2: Shuyin and Lenne's story. lol

Square's definetly taking a different approach to their female characters latley. Have you seen Ashe? Now THAT is the way to go.

[Nemphtis]

Which one's Ashe? Is that the girl from the upcoming game?

Has anyone got any expectations for the Final Fantasy 7 gaiden starring Vincent? Also any expectations for Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children game coming out on the PSP?

[Mycarayne]

Ashe is the Chick in FFXII, sorry.

And I thought the sequel to FFVII was called "FFVII: dirge of cerberus"?

I heard about an Advent children game, but I never thought it was for the PSP. meh.

[Nemphtis]

It is called FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus :)

Not only is the film coming out on the PSP's UMD format, but so is the game. :P

[Mycarayne]

It is coming out on DVD though right?

*is saving for a PSP so he can watch Advent children if it isnt coming out on DVD*

[Nemphtis]

Don't worry it is coming out on DVD. But it's going to be cool watching Advent Children on the bus or on the plain! :P

[Izar]

My favorite FFs are FF7 and FF Tactics. Hopefully by the end of the month, the new bladedfury will be up and I can help you guys out.

Well, Let's see, I never had the chance to finish FF10, I played part of it, is was ok.

Advent Children's coming out on DVD soon!

[Nemphtis]

I'm still playing through FFX, then I gotta buy FFX-2. I know I'm behind but when you get into online gaming, offline games don't seem as appealing sometimes. When I'm given the choice of playing an RPG on my own, or picking up an assault rifle and whooping some racist American ass, I just gotta pick the latter. =P

[gsninja]

FF Tactics got pretty boring after beating the first part of the game, which is defeating the final boss, Queen Remedi. I play it only if I'm not playing GS or anything like that. My favorite classes in that game are the Ninja, Assasin, Alchemist, Sage, and Templar. Those classes are the best, especially Ninja.

Thank god. *sigh of releif*

So, Anubis, you havent played FFX-2? hah. And you thought yuna was boring. pffft.

[gsninja]

Yuna becomes a whole lot different in X-2. She goes from a Summoner with a staff to a Sphere Hunter with a pair of pistols. That's a scary transition.

[Nemphtis]

Well that's what happens when a video game babe becomes famous. Look at Lara Croft. At first she was okay, then they turned her into some sort of slut. :rolleyes:

Besides I think Yuna is so much cooler in X-2 and that digitally rendered ass on the advertisement image for X-2 looked great according to my buddies. :unsure:

[gsninja]

I think it's pretty cool that Yuna has one green eye and one blue eye. I noticed it right away, and I thought that it was interesting at first.

[l3lueMage]

I saw someone else with 2 diff eye colors, I think it was in the FF7AC trailer, but not sure whichone, I know i saw someone with it...

[Nemphtis]

Same here, I think it was FFAC too, one of the badguys. Talking of which the badguys on FFAC look damn great, but we cna discuss that in the FFAC topic. :rolleyes:

Here Here. lol

I wanna know how she managed to get the "Zanarkand Abes" logo sewn into her top. It's not like spira has a Sewing sevice or anything...

On a completely different tangent to everyone else;

I have officially taken up FFX again. That's right, the lack of sun light has begun to show and the over use of my thumbs is more apparent than ever. Auron is casting Ultima at a 12th grade level and countering nearly every hit he takes for 70 000+.
FFX isn't a game. It's an obsession.

[Venus dude 21]

^ you are my idol. FFX is no game, it is an obsetion

[Mycarayne]

*bows* Thank you young padawan.

Stupid dark Shiva though. *sigh* I went to fight her, but was totally unprepared. (my overdrives were set on Victory. lol)
A big mistake on my part. Meh, I'll try again tonight.
SO far Ive beaten Valefore, Ifrit (I think- can't be bothered checking), Ixion and Bahamut.
*Is happy with self*

[gsninja]

I've beaten the game. Shiva wasn't that hard to beat, but that's probably because my characters were in their low 80's (I train a lot). Even Anima was easy. The Magus Sisters were the hardest of the three aeons in the Farplane, probably because the Magus Sisters are three.

[Mycarayne]

*sigh*. Im not talking about FFX-2 dude.
Im talking about the "dark Aeons" in FFX-international

ALL the aeons in FFX-2 were easy. *had iron duke*

[gsninja]

I've never played FFX-International.

I didn't have the Iron Duke, nor the Invincible, but I had the Crystal Bangle, Kaiser Knuckles, Cat Nip, etc., which were still more than enough for the evil aeons, Vegnagun, and the final boss.

[Mycarayne]

You should try and go beat Trema. Man is it fun. :D

[gsninja]

Trema was hard enough in FFX-2 aside from the 999,999 HP. Fighting him made the battle with the Angra Mainyu look easier and much shorter.

[My Best Wishes]

I can't beat the dark aeons, and i can't get aurons last overdirve, the sphere in besaid, when i fight dark valefor my game crashes ^_^

[Mycarayne]

It crashes? Damn.

Tornado (Aurons last overdrive) is Awesome. It can deal 2x 99 999 damage if you get the button mashing correct.

[Mewt]

I, errr, kinda cheated with Dark Valefor. <<;; I used Yojimbo, but I paid the price (quite literally - I now have no money). They are very tough, I'll agree with you there. I beat Dark Ifrit (the normal way lol), but it was very hard. ><

[Mycarayne]

As long as you have Auto-pheonix on everyone, your laughing. And of course the celestial weapons....

[My Best Wishes]

I have 4 celeistal weapons. Is auto phoenix in the sphere gird? must find it.

I'll borrow my friends international to beat dark valefor, you guys got my back into it.....

[Mycarayne]

Auto-pheonix is an ability you can stick on armour. It costs 20 mega-phoenix's to do it, but DAMN is it worth it. If all three party member's have it, the only way that you can loose is if the whole party is killed in one hit. (Which sadly does happen quite often against the dark aeons. lol)

I recomend:
-Auto-pheonix
-Auto-protect
-Ribbon
-Break HP limit.

All on one set of armour.
Your party = demi-gods.

----
Oh yeah. I'vre found ALL the celestial weapons, but have only activaed Kimahri, Auron, Yuna and Rikku's. I can't get under 0:00 time in that goddam chocobo thing. *screams*
Nor can I dodge 200 consecutive lightning bolts.
Nor have I the patience to get Wakka's in Blitzball.

[Venus dude 21]

Nor do i. We must have a similar taste in games. But i degress...
Aeons<Auron
Aeons<Tidus
Aeons<Lulu

[My Best Wishes]

The chocobo thing took me about an hour and a half, but i don't have the patenioce to dodge lightening bolts.

How many of you got valefor's second overdrive?

[Mycarayne]

I got it accidently. heh, i went looking for things to give my other aeons another overdrive. lol

[Zxor]

He gets two overdrives, I didn't know that.

I like Kimahri's overdrives, other enemies attacks.

[gsninja]

You could get Valefor's second Overdrive after you get Yuna in your party and start to leave Besaid. In my opinion, Kimahri's best Overdrives are Nova and Stone Breath. Nova's probably better because, since petrification can't work against bosses, Nova can, and it supposed to do a ton of damage.

[My Best Wishes]

I only got about 5 of his overdrives.
Who got all of tidus's?

[gsninja]

I still need to get Blitz Ace, but other than that, I have every other one. For some reason, I haven't been playing FFX lately, since I've been playing other games.

[Mycarayne]

To get blitzace, do tidus' other overdrives (in any order) - 50 times. maybe 70 - I can't quite remember.

Heh, to get Nova, you need to be strong, so once I got it, it did 99 999 damage all the time.
*cracks knuckles*

[gsninja]

To get Blitz Ace, you need to perform 60 successful overdrives (when you hit the middle of the bar and get "GREAT!") in no particualr order. I never got Nova, but I heard it was really powerful, and I was right.

[Zxor]

I think I have done about 20, probably.

[gsninja]

I love Auron's Banishing Blade overdrive. It performs all the breaks and it looks pretty awesome as well. It's one of my favorite overdrives by far.

[Zxor]

I like Lulus overdrives, I have gotton up to 8, that's it.

[gsninja]

I don't care much for Lulu's overdrives. Each hit does less than half the damage of the normal spell used once.

[Zxor]

Ok, if you do eight then, it is more than 4 times..

[gsninja]

No. If each hit does less than half the normal damage, eight hits should only do about 3-3.5 times the normal damage. So that's why I prefer Doublecast. ^__^

[Zxor]

It doesnt do less than half, it does more than half.
My Lulu had a 350 about damage with thundaga, I use it and, 350 350 350 350 350 350 350 350.

[gsninja]

When I fought Sin, I tried using Ultima in the Fury. Of course, I couldn't cast it as many times as a normal spell because it's the most powerful Black Magic. It normally did 7000-8000 damage to Sin without the Fury. Each hit of the Ultima Fury against Sin only did about 2000-3000 damage to it. So you see, Fury is, in my opinion, one of the least useful overdrives in the game, unlike Wakka's.

[Zxor]

Well if you use it, you still do more damage.

[gsninja]

Not really. Ultima's Fury bar starts going up more slowly than all the other spells. I only managed to get three in the Fury, so Doublecasting Ultima would do way more damage.

[Zxor]

Well, that's Ultima, and, lets drop the subject.

[gsninja]

Do you have any of the legendary weapons for any of the characters?

[Zxor]

I don't know, tell me what they are?

[gsninja]

These are the legendary weapons:

Caladbolg-Tidus
Nirvana-Yuna
Masamune-Auron
World Champion-Wakka
Godhand-Rikku
Onion Knight-Lulu
Spirit Lance-Kimahri

Each weapon has its own unique Crest and Sigil to activate its ability, which is the Break Damage Limit.

[Zxor]

No I do not have them, and I don't want to dodge 200 lightnings in a row to get Lulu's, (I think).

[gsninja]

Wakka's Crest and Sigil are the easiest to get of all the characters. All you have to do is play blitzball for a while and you get them.

[Zxor]

Do you get it for a prize? Or does he learn it? maybe I have it, I have done blitzball SO many times.

[gsninja]

Um, characters can't learn Crests or Sigils because they're items. You get the Crest in the Aurochs' locker room, and you get the Sigil after getting all of Wakka's overdrives.

[Zxor]

Oh, and once you get them both, they become one, or something like that?

[gsninja]

Well, not really. You use them to activate the legendary weapon and, therefore, unlocking the Break Damage Limit.

[Mycarayne]

Not true IMO. Auron's is.

You get the crest on the old highroad, and the sigil when you do a certain amount of stuff in the monster arena- which isnt much.

Tidus's + LuLu's sigils are hardest in my opinion.

Yuna's is pretty easy as well. I got them both accidently. lol

[gsninja]

I didn't get the Mars Crest on the Old Road because I completely forgot about it. The Mars Sigil...well, I don't do stuff in the monster arena, so I can basically forget about that.

[Mewt]

Right, I have pretty much abandoned hope of playing FFXI. Many reasons for it ... not least of all because all my friends are now hooked on World of Warcraft and have virtually cast FFXI asunder. I'll just have to wait for FFXII ... and play all the oldies to pass the time. :(

[Zxor]

I don't think I am going to get those weapons, I will beat the game without them.


I really want to get FFXII, it looks so good, does abyone know when it is coming out?

[gsninja]

I don't really have any information regarding FFXII, so I don't think I can tell you anything about the release of the game.

[My Best Wishes]

Supposlody it was relased in Australia start of last year but i've only seen one copy anywhere and it wasn't for sale, so i've given up on it. Try amazon.com or ebay.

[Mycarayne]

ha ha ha. Watch, it is NO WHERE near being released here in OZ dude. NO WHERE. Beleive me, I would know.

Im pretty sure it's due to be released late '05/ early '06.
But I havent checked on it for a while. I may be wrong.

Dont give up on the legendary weapons dude. Ever.

[My Best Wishes]

I've seen one, in a store called video games heaven, but only one.

The ledenary weapons, ah they are very nice, but the overdrives rock more.

[Mycarayne]

How could you see FFXII is if isnt even released in Oz yet dude? Let alone the US and, AND Japan.

But in the odd circumstance that you DID see it, send it to me. I pay well... like 1k.

Only because Id be the first person in the world to play it.

[My Best Wishes]

Oh sh!t. I misread his post, i thought he said ffxI. only becuase i've seen one copy i didn't think it was realised in aus.

I'm embarrassed.

[Valistrix]

I have FFXI, had it for a couple of months, it rocks! I am a level 37 Warrior with a level 16 Ninja (you can have a main job and sub job).

As for FFXII, I hope it comes out in the UK soon, I really wanna play it.

[Mycarayne]

You couldn't by any chance lend me your credit card details could you Link? lol

I bought all the software - FFXI, Rise of Zilart and Chains of Promathia - only to find out thart my card isn't compatable. A major downer.

[Eothain]

regarding FF XII...isn't it supposed to come out around halfway thru '05?...that's what i've heard...and btw, i'm just starting to get into the ff games, i never thought they'd be that good. Right now i'm playing VII, and am just outside the temple of the ancients...i already bought FF-X, as i'll be starting it as soon as i'm done with VII

[Izar]

Im my opinion, FF7 and FFT are the best. They got awesome storylines, a great cast of characters, and a very detailed plot. FF8 and FF9 are ok, just not as good. FF1 is alos really good, that goes as a third.

[Mycarayne]

FF1? Do you mean 10?

FFVII was great - up until the golden saucer. Know why? because after the battle with Dyne, my game freezes. I must've beaten him like 50 freakin times, and as soon as i win, buuzzzzuuu. It crashes. Perhaps it's because I have the illeagal PC version... meh.

FFX rocks my socks. I know all - even the name of every feind memorised (not really). Seriously though, I love this game and DO know nearly every little thing about it. Go, ask me anything. lol

Sorry MR, I don't really think so n.n;

I bought a pckage for £30 That came with FFXI, Tetra Master (the FFIX card game but online), Chains of Promathia and Rize of the Zilart.

My favourite is FFX, I just love the Blitzball games.

[Mycarayne]

Meh, I was only joking. lol

That sounds like the package that I got. 30 bucks? heh, I got mine for $99 AUD. (The average price for a new release game) So im happy, and not taking it back. Because in about 6 months, I turn 18, and am eligeble for my own card. *glee*

While yes, Blitz is fun. VERY fun, it gets monotonous

[Valistrix]

What server are you in on FFXI? I am on the Bahamut server.

[Mycarayne]

Uh, didn't I say? Oops. Im not on any server. I can't play it. I have no card. I have no hope.

I can't pay for FFXI
Perhaps I should curl up and die
Only one thing keeps me going
That beleif that my parents will go without knowing;

That im gonna steel there credit card tonight.
Mwa ha ha.

(Im not really stealing anything- for you gullable types out there)

[gsninja]

I don't have FFXI, and probably don't plan on getting it. The fees will probably be too much eventually.

FFX is one of the best Final Fantasys out there. I still haven't finished the game because of Blitzball (I'm mostly straying from the main game playing blitzball because I still need Jecht Shot 2).

[Valistrix]

FFXI is £9.87 monthly for me, I don't know how much in dollars. I am bored of the game, I am canceling it for a new online game Everquest II.

[My Best Wishes]

Link- i think thats around $29 aus.

I didn't buy ffx1 cos of the fees same reason as world of warcraft, and i don't have enough space for it on the comp and i'm not gonna buy all that weird crap that lets me hook my ps2 to the comp.

FFx is the best.

Has anyone beaten ff8, i get on the third disk and it freezes in the dungdeon. After you attack the sorccess. any help?

what did you guys think of blitzball in ffx-2? i liked that sphere breaker game more.

[Zxor]

X-2 Blitzball=It is MUCH worse than FF X blitzball.
The sphere Break game is fun, but really hard. But you can get a dressphere.

[My Best Wishes]

Yea, i learnt and won in the tournament. That was hard

ffx-2 i hated the blitzball, it was so wierd.

[Mycarayne]

but much quicker. I think it has some pro's to it: So here me out:
It's quicker;
More strategic (I like to use my brain, contrary to popular beleif);

meh, I havent played in a while, so Ive forgotten what I like about it. lol

Sphere break is easy once you get a 1,2,4,5. It makes any number between 1-9. Heh, I liked collecting coins more than actually playing sphere break.

[Valistrix]

I hated both the FFX-2 Blitzball AND Sphere Break, I found it too hard.

What is your favourite class on FFXI? Mine is Ninja and Paladin.

[Mycarayne]

Dragoon and theif. I long to be them...

[gsninja]

Link, on Apr 11 2005, 07:34 AM, said:

X-2 blitzball wasn't really hard, since you don't control the team players whatsoever. Sphere Break was virtually impossible for me. Plus, it was pretty bad, even compared to blitzball. I have no idea how I got the Lady Luck dressphere from Shinra...I thought it was impossible...

[My Best Wishes]

Favourtie classes were the standard ones but aside from them

Samurai
Special dessspheres
Mages

[gsninja]

I practically never use the mages, nor the special dresspheres. The Black Mage is one of my least favorite classes, one reason because I'm better with melle fighters, not magic users. These are my favorite classes:

Gunner
Warrior
Dark Knight
Alchemist
Samurai

Yeah, that sums it up. As you can see, they're all pretty much melee fighters, except for the Alchemist, who can heal and support others as well.

[My Best Wishes]

Gunner was my favourtie with trigger happy and pot shot and such. How did you not use the special dresspheres? my friend was getting his ass kicked againest vegnaguan and i suggested he use the speical desspheres since he never had and thats how he won. I used them all the time.

[gsninja]

There's two reasons I don't use the special dresspheres. 1) Experience is given only to the person using the dressphere and 2) I'm not good with them and they didn't seem to be that much of a good source to beat an enemy.

So, I stick with my main party: Gunner/Warrior, Alchemist, and Dark Knight.

[Mycarayne]

My party: (ish)

Alchemist/ Lady Luck (Yuna. w/ Iron Duke and {insert forgotten acc. here})
Berserker (Rikku. w/bloodlust and Kaiser knuckles). ^^ (Im crazy...)
Dark Knight/ Samurai (Paine.)

Anyone got the trainer dressphere? It's cool.

[Wind_Master]

I've gotta agree with memories, Trainer is awesome. My Paine is a trainer (Go Flurry!)

But other than that:

Lady Luck
Black Mage (Always a favorite)
Gun Mage (Blue Mage is my all time favorite class)
Dark Knight
Warrior

[Mycarayne]

Call me MR dude. *stands wiht almightly force*. lol

Blue mage is awesome: especially whn all your girls have "cry of the night" which is kindly donated by a red HP, Oversouled Mega Tonberry. Other goodies include heavens cataract (which I learnt the hard way. lol) and the all time favourites: White Wind and Mighty Guard.

IMO, black mage sucks, due to the fact they only learn the primary elemental magic's. Better off getting that uh.. GG (the name of it escapes me at the moment) that lets you cats ultima. Meh. Ultima. Nuff said.

The "GG" is a Garment Grid. And the Garment Grid in question that let's you cast Ultima is Megiddo. But, I can live without attack magic...and healing magic, since I use an Alchemist...

[Mycarayne]

I know its a garment grig. lol. I couldn't remember which one though. But now that you mention it: yeah, 'tis Megiddo. ( how could i forget that on a GS site? lol)

yeah, I barely use ANY magic in X-2. If I want to power level, I just put the girls on samurai all with speed bracers and slash my way to countless exp.

Who's got 100% for each dressphere by the way?

[gsninja]

Tch, I didn't even try to bother mastering every dressphere, much less master them with more than one character. I only mastered the classes that I felt were to be the most useful to me. Basically, I mastered almost all of the melee type dresspheres and the Alchemist.

[Mycarayne]

You and me are very different people. lol

I've mastered nearly ALL the dresspheres (excluding Songstrees- DAMN THAT INFERNAL BOOK THAT I CANT GET TO!)

I can't remember what I have left to go exaclty, but yeah, they're nearly ALL done.

You ever played FFV? It's a very similar class system. Talk on MSN and I may "aquire" a copy for you.

[My Best Wishes]

Would this 'aquring' be down lawfully? :P

i can't comment greatly on ffx-2, lets just say i was less then impressed in comparesnt to ffx.

Just to answer that question - I belive roms are legal as long as you have the original game.
Though with most people this is not realy the case... :)

The REAL game doesn't exist in shops here: If it was. I'd buy it.

As for Venus Dude 21, you keep thinking that, Magus Sisters LONE use is to take the Overdrive of the Dark Magus Sisters, whilst i can kill Dark Valefor, Ifrit, Ixion and Shiva with Anima alone. Hmmm..whose the better aeon?

[My Best Wishes]

Magus sisters are but Anima is still tanked. My goodness, max hit and crap without god weapons, how long did you waste?

[Dullahan]

Not very much, my good friend Dark Yojimbo drops weapons with Break Damage Limit and 3 free slots, these where then customized with appropriate abilites, kill Yojimbo 4 times, go and save, then reload and do it again, he also drops armour with Ribbon and Break HP Limit with 2 spare slots.

[My Best Wishes]

How do you kill him when hes an aeon and working for you...unless hes a dark aeon then wouldn't he stay dead? I can't get Aurons last overdrive cos i can't get the sphere is Besaid, Dark Valefor appears and my game crashes......

[Dullahan]

Dark Yojimbo is different from the other Dark Aeons, he has a rather pitiful HP total of 1.5 million (might be 1.2) which is bad when consider how high he is up the aeon pecking order. When you go to the Cavern of the Stolen Faith, warp to the back and walk back to the start, you be attacked by a summoner and Dark Yojimbo, he will ambush kill him, and the summoner runs off, chase him and he'll attack you again a bit futher in, this happens 5 times, the 5th being at the entrance, however, you can save and reload with the save at the back, when you do reload the scene will start over and you can fight him another five times, be warned after he dies the fifth time he stays dead, so i go back and save after fight numvber 4.

As for your game crashing that's a b*****d, try renting a copy for a night just to do that part or lend it form a friend.

[My Best Wishes]

Its the international copy. Haven't seen one in AUS.

I finished ffx ages ago, great game LOVED the story but i couldn't spend ages getting perfect. I got i think 3 or 4 celeistal weapons, all the aeons and stuff and played blitzball heaps :lol:

[Mycarayne]

*crackes knuckles*
Just like old times. =]

One day when this cyclone was about (I remember this becasue i was stranded at our beach house for the day), I must've played blitzball for like the whole day straight. I racked up so many wins and rare items I laughed my self to sleep. lol

Dullahan, did i tell you I finally a [b]an[/i] Iron duke off Trema? Well worth the gruelling Via Infinito. =] It makes a new game plus SO fun.

Aurons last overdrive is a Spoon to get right. lol. It took me like 6-7 goes to do it. =]

As for the dark Aeons in FFX, I never really fought them, but your Yojimbo Strategy sounds awesome (I've never heard of it before).
So far, I think I've got Ixion, Valefore, Ifrit and Bahamut. I've never even contemplated fighting Anima. His millions of HP reduce me to tears to much.

I feel so much better now.

[Eothain]

I was very far into this game when my brother "accidentally" erased all the data in my memory card. He was playing, I believe, some Matt Hoffman game, and then he tried to save, and right before it started to save he went "NO!!! SHOULDN'A DONE THAT!!!", and hit reset...even tho in EVERY game, when you're saving the words "DO NOT TURN OFF/RESET OR REMOVE YOUR CONTROLLERS WHILE SAVING"...when he tried to load to his previous save...nothing...I checked out the memory card, nothing in it...It's good that I wasn't doing any sidequests, or some super-training, cause if I had i'd simply kill my brother...anyways...I was very far into the game, and that's why I haven't taken it up again.

[Venus dude 21]

that sucks. Right after i beat Seymore Flux (GOD I HATE HIM !!!) my dog ate my memory card! So i started again.
Anima is good, but magus sisters are better if you can get them.
(easy but my sis can't do it, i laugh)

[Mycarayne]

I've heard of dogs eating Homework, but never a memory card. That's some bad luck you got there.

I take so much care of mine, so hopefully, my couple of hundred hours of gameplay wont be lost.

[Eothain]

lolz i don't think his dog actually ate his memory card, i think he was just implying that i'd be making some kind of excuse...or simply, just flat-out making fun of me...the latter being the more logical possibility...

[Venus dude 21]

no, i was outside with my friend, and my memory card was on his table, so his dog jumps up and chews it up. It sucked so much.

[Dullahan]

Well done MR on your Iron Duke, get another 4 and your as strong as me. You'll still need The End. Of course you haven't heard of the Yojimbo tactic, i invented it! (even i've posted it earlier on this topic). Tornado is really easy to do, i can do it in under a second. Ans Anima isn't as hard as you think, true she has 8million health, but her attacks consist of Physical Attack, Pain and Mega Graviton, keep your health topped for graviton and make sure you have ribbon for Pain. Throw an Aoen in the way of Oblivion nand instead using it's overdirve, use sheild and it'll probably survive to take another one. My Bahamut took three Oblivions this way before finally going down.

As for memeory cards, if i had a dog and it ate my memory card i'd have it put down, there thousands of hours of gameplay on my memory cards. Important fiels are backed in case of corruption.

[Mycarayne]

Hmmm. I thought it was called cyclone. lol. Same thing I guess.

Anyway, hearing this, I might take a shot at Dark Anima. But before hand, I
ll send Tidus for a lenghty trip around the sphere grid. You know, to get Blitzace really thumping out some 9's. That should handle it. =]

[Dullahan]

Blitz Ace doesn't to max a hit to many strong things, each of the first hits is only strenght 4 i think, and the ball is is 24, the best is it's against is Nemesis where it does 60K a hit. Your best off using Quick Hit doing max damage a hit, Auto Haste is vital, if all of you rcharacters do this you'll simply have too amny turns, max Agility helps too.

[Mycarayne]

Cool. I have Auto-haste on most of my stuff already. And Auto-pheonix - very helpful in my opinion.

And I really need to unseal the Caladbolg. That dam chocobo race pisses me off SO much.

Same with the lightning dodging. Totally annoying.

[Venus dude 21]

what was your lowest time, mine was .1 seconds.

[Eothain]

I remember that race...but the race was only to get the crest/sigil, dunn remember which one...to actually get the caladbolg i think you just have to beat the other trainier, regardless of your time...anyways...all this talk about the dar aeons...that's only in the PAL version right?

[Mycarayne]

Sorry, I do have the Caladbolg, I just haven't got the sigil. Or crest - I can't remember. I think my lowest time was .4

And yes, dark aeons are in the PAL version, as is my understanding

[Golden Djinn13]

I got all the celestial weapons, but i'm still trying to get my charecters a bit stronger, before I go and fight Sin ( Overdrive Sin scares me!!!! :smile: )

[Mycarayne]

I can't see why. Sin is easy. Compared to ANY feind at the monster arena, This world devouring beast is a cake walk. I really can't understand it.

Secondly, Vegnagun of X-2 is easy also. Why would Zanarkand, the city of machina be afraid of what three chicks can beat without so much as lifting a sword.
Yes, I beat Vegnagun using the Lady luck dress sphere, where they in fact throw playing cards to attack. lol

While yes, having an Iron Duke helps quite a bit, I won't get into that... :smile:

[Eothain]

damn...all this talk about FF-X is getting me all worked up...as soon as I finish Star Ocean(which will be very soon), I'll go straight to FF-X

[Golden Djinn13]

I'll try fighting him again then. The first time I fought him, he got to his overdrive, and you know what happens after that.

[Venus dude 21]

Giga graviton...it never happened to me, but i've heard its bad, and humbling.

[Wild Fox]

Die Chocobo trainer. Die. I hope you fall off a cliff.

[Dullahan]

Best time on the chocobo race-0.0 seconds

Giga Graviton doesn't exist, mega graviton does 9/16 of your max HP.

Sin is an insult one and he's dead, 2 hits and Jecht's dead, challenging stuff.

Most of the monster arena isn't worth fighting anymore, Neslug is annoying, Shinryu Tidus or Rikku can kill single handedly, Ultima Buster is a joke and Nemesis is the only thing that possess any challenge even then he gets maimed with a few autolifes

I feel sorry for whoever playing star ocean, the end booss is an absolute b*****d and the ending is the worst i've seen, the plot in that game is woeful.

Vegnagun is easier than sin, he's lucky if his damage gets to double figures, that's right double figures, Shuyin was doing 9 a hit.

[Mycarayne]

I feel ashamed. He was doing 97-ish to me. Unless of course he did an "Overdrive", where he would go to triple figures. Mind blowingly tough he was. :smile:

I felt upset when I beat Angra Mainyu as well. They never should of put in the Cat nip dammit. It just begs to be abused with Trigger Happy and that dice move (The name of which escapes me at the moment). But without it, Paragon AND Trema would be impossible to defeat. Literally.

But were not here for the piss weak final bosses. Were here for the awesome storyline and gameplay. Arn't we?


Guys?

[Dullahan]

10-2 Story is not awesome, it is utter s**t but the gameplay is so good i don't care.

I beat Paragon and Trema quite easily with Catnip, but i ahve finale, which is much, much better, go through the gates on the end and select the command, 99999 every hit thank you very much, with three people doing it not even trema last very long. Paragon is an insult i killed him with attacks and he could barely hurt me. 255 defense and auto protect equals 510 defence.

[Golden Djinn13]

The storyline does suck, and it's hard for me to really get into the game, because its so boring, though the battle system is unique, I really don't like it.

[Dullahan]

i'd say 10-2 has the best battle system for a ff, but other games have better battle systems such as Star Ocean (2nd ONE!!!!!) and Tales of Symphonia.

[Mycarayne]

Yeah.
FFX = Best story I've ever endured.
FFVII = Best Weapon Customising. Ever.
FFX-2 = Addictive, non-tedious battling. Always something else you can do.

I found it a little weird that FFX-2 was the first of the series without "summoning" (Correct me if im wrong). Special dress spheres don't count.

By the way, what's so bad about the storyline of X-2? It nicely ties up the loose ends of FFX. Sure, it could of being a little better in its delivery; Yuna transforming from the fragile summoner to the red hot adventurer so easily was to unbelievable for me.

Other than that, the series of events from beginning to end all made perfect sense (bar Yuna's personality inversion of course) and were all relevant to the resolution. 'Cept that Bast*rd Tobli. I hated that lil midget. Yup Yup.

[Golden Djinn13]

The game just got sort of boring ( and im at the begining). I'm still gonna play, just to see how it ends though.

[Mycarayne]

What one? X-2?

Yeah, it starts off pretty slow, but it gets you used to the gameplay etc. For instance, when I first got it (Hired overnight) I was ready to through it out the window becasue of the battle system. But given a bit of a chance, I came to really enjoy it.

[Golden Djinn13]

Yep, X-2

I guess i'll just keep playing it then. Though im stuck at the place where you have to do this puzzle thing. oh yeah, im stuck at Zanarkand.

[Dullahan]

i thought that X-2 started pretty well, the humour was appreciated and to be honest was the only thing that kept me interested in the story, and became serious by chapter 3. I wasn't the biggest fan of 10's story so to me X-2 seemed pretty pointless. It looked even worse whem amny FF customs where not included (Summons, Limits, Male playable characters) but it turned out to be excellent, well done square enix, it's the only really good thing you've managed.

[Golden Djinn13]

I think they could have done much better with the game, and I loved FF X's storyline. In FF X-2, I do like some things in it, like leveling up normally instead of using the sphere grid, So I do have to give it credit in some areas.

[Eothain]

you think that levlling up normally is better? i LOVED the sphere grid thing, and i thought it was a unique element that separated ff-x even more from other rpg's.

[Mycarayne]

*A few minor spoilers in here I guess*

The sphere grid had it's pro's and cons, definitely. While throughout the main part of FFX, it was pretty tame, and easy to use, once you complete the main story and start side-questing, it becomes TO easy to complete and outragiously easy to abuse, if you know what your doing of course.

Weapon:
Triple Overdrive
Triple AP
Overdrive -> AP
[anything] (I had poisonstrike)

Withing minutes of playing at the omega dungeon (or inside Sin) you'll have about 10 sphere lvls. Without a doubt. Keep going for an hour or so, and you'll have shizloads of moves. =]

I do give Square credit for being unique ( I don't have a problem with the sphere grid), i'm just more used to normal leveling up.

[Izar]

My faves are FF7 and FFT. I'll go in chronological order of when they were made, not jsut the numbering. I go by the Japanese numbering.

FF1 is classic, I mean it's just fun and addicting, I'm about to beat it again. Played it as the original.

FF2 - Good Story, but the way the characters get higher stats is sorta annoying. Played it through with FF Origins.

FF3 - I remember playing this as a rom, I didn't understand it all cuz it was in japanese, so it was kinda annoying. I didn't finish it, but it was ok for what I had played, just kinda dumb at spots cuz i don't know japanese.

FF4 - This is with Kain and such. Alot of FF gamers love this game and would probably die for it. I like it too. I played it through FF Anthology, barrowed of course.

FF5 - This one, I don't quite remember it. I played very little when I borrowed Anthology. An RPG with a complex job class system.

FF6 - Just as popular as FF7, this game was pretty good. It's story was pretty good, and the character development went well.

FF7 - Along with FF Tactics, this was my favorite RPG. Great storyline, nice materia system, and it wasn't linear. Theyre was plenty of sidequests to keep you busy.

FF Tactics - A great game. most people take one look at it, buy it, and never play it. I'll tell you that it's never collected dust here. The character development was great, and unlike FF Tactics advanced, it actually has people plotting betrayel, murder, and all that good stuff. Definitly worth a play.

FF8 - Well, this game was good, Most old school FF gamers don't really like it. I thought it was Ok, but it did miss some key elements that make FF games. But still, it was pretty good, character development went well for the most part.

FF9 - This game mixed the elements of fairy tales with the elements of an RPG. Talking animals, reduced technologies, yeah, the works. it was good though. Characters each have special traits and abilities. Weapons give out abilities, sort of like FFTA. It was good, but not as good as FFT or FF7.

FF10 - I actually liked this game. There were some translation errors. For instance, Yevon was the name of their god and their religion(church, temple, whatever), which was odd. So when Yuna said she was no longer with Yevon, but she did everything in that "Yevon way," it made me think. Either way, it was a good game.

FFX-2 - This game was like playing Dress-up with Charlies angels. Not very good story-wise, and battles were kinda dull without good old summons. Yuna also looked a little strange in this one, and Pain was a bit annoying, they tried to copy Auron. *shakes fist*

FF Tactics Advance - As most FF gamers would say, FFTA is a poor excuse for a game in alot of respects. For instance, the laws were annoying, but easy to get by. In fact, the whole game was easy. I never had a problem with anything on the game. Never lost a battle, bosses were simple. Blah. They also changed key elements that made it an "FF Tactics" game.

The others, I have not played (except for Origins and Anthology, which are collections).

EDIT - Woops, forgot to add FFX-2. I'll do that now.

[Eothain]

hey Izar, you just reminded me I have to borrow the ps version of FF tactics from my friend...who I borrow all my games from... >_> :D...he said he'd let me borrow it once I'm done with FF7, and give it back to him :(

[Mycarayne]

Tell me, what are Anthologies and Origin's exactly? I've heard of them, but never really knew what they were.

Are they like those old game boy games? You know "32 games in 1" type thing?

----

I loved FFV. Admitedly, I got the ROM etc (I hope no feds are reading this), and played it non-stop for hours. Loved the class system, and it is very obvious that they utilised it in FFX-2. Story was pretty cool as well.

Only thing annoying about it is it's difficulty, or rather, the lack of it.

[Dullahan]

Anthologies and Origins where compolations of the earlier FFs released by square on the Ps1, origins contained 1 and 2, whilst Anthology contains 4 and 5 making 3 the rarest FF as it is the only one not to be released. The problem with these gaemes is that Square made no effort to improve them, not even a graphical makeover.

I will now rate the FFs i've played. (Graphics are rated on time of release and power of console)

FF 1 (Dawn of Souls GBA)
Gameplay- Very simple, yet addictive 8/10
Graphics- Vastly improved on the original, still not like Golden Sun 7/10
Lifespan- Not too long but not short either, no subquests 6/10
Story- None existant. 1/10
FFness- You get to choose your party at the start and there is a suprising amount of combonations, magic and equipment are here as are Black MagES 7/10

Total=29/50

FF 4 (PC)
Gameplay- Much improved, attempt at ATB although speed stat seems to be random for enemies 8/10
Graphics- Not the best but they do the job 5/10
Lifespan- Pretty short but there are some subquests 7/10
Story- The've had a go, character development is weak as most characters are killed off but there is a basic plot but little sub-plot 5/10
FFness- Very FF, chocobos, moogles, black mages, summons and even Cid 6/10

Total=31/50

FF6 (PS1)
Gameplay- Simply suberb, the esper system is genius, the Atb is working, the sheer amount of characters leads to a lot of depth i the combat 10/10
Graphics- The CG is pretty but the ingame hasn't been improved 7/10
Lifespan- A good 30 hours a of intersting game with plentiful sub quests 9/10
Story- Very good plot, attempts to develop most characters, great villain, some good twists 9/10
FFness- Everything FF is here,along with a huge amount of depth to play aroud with it all 10/10

Total=45/50

FF7 (PS1)
Gameplay- Magnificent the materia system is second only to the espers, the jump to 3D is done masterfully, a total revolutionary 10/10
Graphics- Great at the time especially the CG, nothing had been done like , although it is incrediblt dated now. 9/10
Lifespan- A massive game (3 Discs!) Easy 50 hours of gameplay and many subquests and things to level up for in the form of weapon. 10/10
Story- Best story ever, every character is fully developed, Sephiroth is the perfect villain and the of the plot twists are infamous in RPGdom. 10/10
FFness- Most of it's here as wel as the invention of limit breaks that are to become a staple of future FFs 9/10

Total=48/50

FF8 (Ps1)
Gameplay- In my opinion a step in the wrong direction, the junction system restricts magic use and it's easy to become dependent on GFs (even if it is an excellent system), the card game is excellent though 8/10
Graphics- Utterly groundbreaking, brilliant in every aspect. 10/10
Lifespan- Despite the fact is has an extra disc to FF 7 it takes roughly the same time to complete, many subquests such the masterful Card Game and the huge a mounto ftraining required to beat Omega Weapon 10/10
Story- Certainly a few problems, the emphasis in science fiction is not welcome, it is called Final FANTASY, character development is superb, plot twists are pretty lame, Seifer is a crap villain as are the others. Plot unfolding cut scens are incredibly dull, especially the infamous Trabia Cutscene 8/10
FFness- Most of the classic stuff, summons, limits, chcobos aswell as a few new things like Moomba and a game spanning mini game. 9/10

Total=45/50

FF9 (Ps1)

Gameplay- Utterly fantastic, brilliant battles, great setting and the Ap system is superb although the Stones system is pretty poor, Character uniqueness is excellent too. 10/10
Graphics- Like FF8's, only better. 10/10
Lifespan- Another 4 discer, takes a good while first time but can be doone in under 12 hours if you're really good and want Excalibur 2. Sub quests are there and whilst the chocobo quest is easily the best of it's type, the card game is random and irritating 9/10
Story- Fantastic, great development, twists and a great villain, even if parts semm irrelevent 9/10
FFness- Moogles make a welcome return, chcobo's are great, summons are still here, but limits are gone for the flawed trance system. 9/10

Total=47/50

FF10 (PS2)
Gameplay- Great, the sphere grid is a welcome change to standard leveling up, battles are done with the CTB adding another welcome change, the equipment system has be revamped too.10/10
Graphics- Simply magificant, some of the best graphics produced by a console. 10/10
Lifespan- Gigantic, the main game lasts for ages and there is a stupid amount of things to do at the end 10/10
Story- Chinks start to appear in 10s perfectness, characters are particularly well developed and the cast is weak bar Auron, the plot twist is kindof predictable ans Seymour is a crap villain 7/10
FFness- The battle stuff is here, limits and summons, blitzball is not a welcome addition, the chocobo's are almost irrelevent and theother FF classics are reduced to Lulu's weaponry. 7/10

Total=44/50

FF 10-2 (PS2)
Gameplay- Superb, the single best FF battle system, the ability learning system is perfect as is the inventive dressphere system and most of all it's incredibly fun to play .10/10
Graphics- Excellent, ven if it does have more glitvhes than 10. 10/10
Lifespan- Epic, square have finally included a new game plus feature enabling the game to last forever, the mainstory isn't particulary big but there are tons of sub quests which can done repeating on different runs through. 10/10
Story- Very poor, it's funny and the three main characters are well developed, however the villain is pitiful, the plot is pointless, you can't help thinking square made this as a cash in. 5/10
FFness- Most of the classic stuff is here, but in Cameo form, moogles and Cait Sith are now a dressphere, and the FF rules are missing, no summons and no limits. 5/10

Total=40/50

[Mycarayne]

Very detailed Dullahan.


My turn. :D

FF1&2: Dawn of souls
Gameplay: Not what I'd call fantastic. I liked buying each different magic skill. That's about it.
Storyline: Evident, but lacking drastically.
Lifespan: Played it for a few hours, and moved on to something better. Not brilliant.

8/10

FF2 (Original - ROMl)
Gameplay: Quite difficult interface in my opinion. Too hard to play.
Storyline: It's there. Somewhere. I didn't get far enough into the game to actually understand it. But I will. Someday.
Lifespan: About 57 minutes. I speak from experience.

5/10

FF5 (Original - ROM)
Gameplay: Fantastic. Being able to chose each character's class and change it whenever you like is just good stuff in my opinion. But the main male is called "Butz"? WTF?
Storyline: Square-Enix (Squaresoft back then) finaly decided to step up a notch in this one. Though not as good as VII or X, it's still there, building a nice foundation for the latter Final Fantasies.
Lifespan: Im up to 12 hours. I have and airship and my average character lvl is only 23. Only reason I stopped is because I got hooked on some other game. However, I could easily go back to play it again. Great game.

9/10

FFVII (PC version)
Gameplay: Materia rocks, battle system is quite civilised and the 3Dness is just great on the world map.
Storyline: Sadly, Im only up to the the part where you have to kill Dyne. Still. My computer decide's that it's to good for this game about then and decides to mentally implode (stop) It sucks. The storyline however, is great. And I can tell that from the small fraction of the game that I have played. I must get a legit copy of this for my PS.
LIfespan. You can only kill Dyne so many times before it get's incredibly boring.

9/10

FFX
Gameplay: In my opinion, flawless. Spheregrid and easy battle interface. Need I say more?
Storyline: Impecible. Nuff said. I still day dream about it.
Lifespan: Well over 100 hours. Many a side-quest and plenty of room for character improvement.

9.9/10

FFX-2
Gamplay: Somewhat better than it's predessessor, FFX. Full control over class and thus each character can be who, and what you want her to be. Downside: No males. Why?
Storyline: Dam good. Nie way to tie up the loose ends. Although, as I stated a while back, I can't beleive Yuna's Transformation. People just don't "change" that fast. Could of being better
Lifespan: Three words. "New game plus". Incredible non-linear gameplay and that dreadful Via Infinito will keep you going for hours on end. Terrific.

9/10

FFXI
I wish I wish I had a credit card.

[Izar]

Dullahan: There's a story in FF1. It's that the world is dieing, and you gotta light the crystals. lol. :(

I started a fad! lol

I'm gunna get the FF3 rom again, and the FF5 rom too. After that, I will have completed my journey of nothing. :D

FF7 and tactics = Awesome.

[Eugine]

Actually Dullahan, I find seymour rocks. His anubisness makes it even better.

[Izar]

I thought Seymour was dumb sorta. It's a wannabe sephiroth, lol. At first, i knew he was a bad guy, but I mean come on, you gotta fight him alot, and he jsut wouldn't die! lol.

[Eothain]

yeah, I found Seymour dumb too. And the fact that the same dumb villain would have to be fought like 1239712893 times throughout the game makes him even worse. I mean... can't you just admit you're weak and leave the story for good?

[Eugine]

Well, I think rocked - His quotes and all. He was a good villan IMO, but everyone has prefrences.

Well, I just can't wait for FF12, I think it's shapping to be the best series yet.

[Eothain]

I heard that battle-encountering in FF XII will be very similar to that of Star Ocean's...like, you see the actual enemies int he map, and you have to "run into them" to fight them... anyone know anything about that?

[Golden Djinn13]

I hope its not. I borrowed Star Ocean from a friend and after a while the game sucked.

[Eothain]

rofl. They are NOT gonna make the final fantasy version of star ocean...they are just gonna implement that little element from star ocean into FF XII. It'll just make it a bit different than other ff games, but it doesn't mean that just cause you can actually see the enemies running around in the map, the game will be bad...besides, it's not even officil that they'll do it...

[Izar]

I don't see why they can't make a normal RPG, you know? lol. They implement too many things no a days, and there's no real good, addictive RPGs like FF1, FF7, or FFT anymore.

[Golden Djinn13]

Your right. They need to stick with the classic battle systems that they have been using for years. FFX would have been better to me, if they didn't have the sphere grid. It would have made the game alot more easier.

i take it you didn't play Tales of Symphonia or Disgaea then.

And other people you dare to critisise my opinion?! i am the final fantasy god and my statements are truth. jk jk jk

Star Ocean wasn't great, well the second one was but number 3 was above average.

And Izar i don't acknowledge "the world is dying" as a storyline, the characters never speak so character development is none existent, there isn't even a proper villain, and such as linear predictable pointless plot can't have any twists can it?
Don't get me wrong FF1 is still great fun to play it's just the story sucks.

[Eugine]

Dullahan you haven't seen any of us play anyways.

I think that if FFX had FFX2 battle system it would of been my favorite FF yet.

Nope, never played Tales of Symphonia or Digaea. And the World was dying, what more do you need in a game that wasn't meant to have character development? lol.

wow...anyone who's intersted in an FF XII update should visit gamespot.com...they've got a new review, talks about a demo they played, and explains some new features, most of which, in my opinion, resemble some of SO3's a lot. It doesn't give you THAT much info, but some bits of interesting stuff...you guys should read it.

[Echo_djinn]

You guys seem so pumped for the next FF game I looked it up on gamespot. Funny thing is Square Enix(The company that makes FF games and so much more) is revealing all their junk that they have planned for all of their games. I suggest you guys check it out.

No onto FFXII I found out that there will be a new magic setting for the battle mode. Green shall be it's color and it will consist of magic support for your group. Also when you get into a battle a line from you attacker will show to your target to help reduce confusion on which enemy your attacking. Once you get into a battle scene you character on the main field will automatically shift into a fight stance with no interruption as in no pause then the scene changes into you and your group lined up for battle. You will just make contact with the enemy and start the battle which adds to the realism.

To bad I don't have a PS2. Check it out on Gamespot if you have not already. Sorry if this is old information. :)

[Eothain]

it isn't that old...the post i made before yours talks about the article at gamespot.com, and kinda tells everyone to check it out. But good job, you shared some of the info in the article. I'm rather lazy, so i juss said "zere's a kewl FFXII article in ze gamespot... it has new stuffs...chek it out"

[Golden Djinn13]

I have been away for on vacation for a while, and I didn't know about it, anyway, why not buy a used PS2, they aren't that expensive, and you can find them anywhere ( literally)

*goes in the sewers...checks* ZOMFG!! ZE ALLIGATEHR!!! AAAAHH!!!...nope, no ps2 in ze sewers...so, make that "almost anywhere"

[Mycarayne]

In the somewhat latest issue of OPSM, there was an article on FFXII. It basically went through the new random battle style and how Ashe is in fact NOT Yuna. Which is in fact blatently obvious. Why bother saying that?

Anyway, the game looks great, and I can't wait until AC comes out.

[Dullahan]

Ashe does look like Yuna, someelse looks like Gippal and Vaugn or whatever his name is has more than a whiff of Tidus about him, running out of ideas square?

[Eothain]

maybe...maybe not...I think the problem is that they always create their characters using "steryotypes"...the "tough, sorta stupid guy" (like barret, or wakka, or Cliff from SO3), the "hot headed teen" (usually the main character, like tidus), and so on and so forth...

[Eugine]

Don't think Ashe looks like Yuna. Yuna is much more cute.

FFXII is shaping to be the best series yet IMO from what I saw.... GOTTA PLAY IT ASAP!

[Mycarayne]

I wonder if there is an opening at Sqaure-enix for people with no experience or skills? That's be great.

I heard that the 15th installment of the series will be it's finale.

Total bummer dude.

[Dullahan]

That's a good while off yet, i reckon 12 will be as revolutionary as 7 was.

[Eugine]

I doubt that will be their last. Even if that's their last Square will make a new series that is just as good as Final Fantasy.

[Izar]

Where'd you hear that? Square plans on continuing the FF series as long as it remains stable.

[Golden Djinn13]

Square won't stop making Final Fantasy, and not now, when the next gen systems are going to be released.

[gsninja]

Final Fantasy graphics will probably be very nice, not to mention the gameplay could be even better.

[Eothain]

the FF franchise is simply a moneymaker...it wouldn't be smart for Square to stop making them...unless, of course, they run out of ideas for'em, which is possible.

[Izar]

I'd give'em ideas lol. Well, I don't think they would run out of ideas soon, infact, at all.

[Mycarayne]

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Why would a company PURPOSELY loose money? The FF series must be one of the most, if not, THE MOST popular gaming series on the planet. Why stop it and loose millions of Gil? Er, dollars.

[Dullahan]

i doubt it's the most popular series, it's probably FIFA or some other EA sh*t. Square did purposely loose money by releasing that god awful film.

I think Square has reached and past their best gameplay wise in 6,7,8,9 and now they're trying new ideas which is fine if their good like ff10 and 10-2 but bad if they're like ff11 and crystal chronicles (which a sequel has been confirmed for).

[Eugine]

Never played FF11, but for FF:CC... I regret buying that game so much! I'm so ashamed of myself...

sequel, you have to be kidding me, that was the worst ff game i have played ever. I burnt mine.

[Golden Djinn13]

The battle system was HORRIBLE ( and I only played it once), and the storyline wasn't exactly the greatest.

[Eugine]

Ofcourse, the battle system was HORRIBLE X100. I really hated myself after getting that game. I traded that game for Wind Waker, Metriod Prime and Luigi's Mansion with a friend.

You see he's a FF freak also, so he thought it would be good. :) Lucky me.

The story line sucked too, and was repetitive, I reached up to year 2 and got bored lol.
