Well we're back! The other thread was shut down for chatting so please people of this thread, try and keep the chatting to a minimal. I know it gets hard when it comes to the topic of Video Games but you gotta keep the offtopicness in the WAH thread.:)

Anyway, for newcomers, this is as the title says, the Final Fantasy, First Person Shooter and other RPG's thread. I understand that norris orginially made a PSP thread but it was more of who had it kinda thing. If anybody has any questions of game realeases or anything having to do with the PSP, I can help you. (making movies, online gaming, recommendations)

So please post away.:)

back up again. sweet. should i start playing final fantasy VII again or should i get IX? or both? i've heard that IX was kind of weird but wanted someone else's opinion.

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 09:40 PM
Well it's rather difficult to say. Are you a fan of online gaming?

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 09:43 PM
not particularly. is IX on online thing as well? i thought that was just XI?

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 09:44 PM
O I'm sorry!!!!!!

I was thinking 11. Maybe it's a better I dea if we just use numbers rather roman numerals.:lol:

Could you tell me what IX is?

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 09:47 PM
i'm not really sure. a friend of mine played it, said that he liked it but his taste is kind of odd. it was the last one released for psone. i don't think that it sold to well in the u.s. though. i was kind of hoping that someone else had played nine on here and could tell me if it is worth playing or not. of course as cheap as the older titles are now it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to just go get both and see for myself.

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 09:51 PM
Oh yeah I'm sorry.NINE. Good god that was a good game. I'd say that between 10 and 9. They're even.

9 is really really good. IMO. It has this thing where you can combine weapons together to make them stronger. It's definately pne of it's strong points.

The only problem I had with the game, was that I wasn't to crazy about every character in the game being a kid. I kinda like the everyone being an adult kinda thing. Any specific questions?A summary maybe?

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 09:55 PM
about how many gaming hours does nine take to beat if you just go through it without trying to max everyone out before taking on the final boss? also how are the cut scenes graphic wise?

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 09:59 PM
Well...hmmm... I'd say it takes about a week to beat with a few hours each day. I'm guessing a little more than 24 hours. You can really rush yourself.

The graphics are so-so. They're no FF7. But there also no FF6.:p

I'd say that they're pretty decent for PS1 graphics.

Overall I'd give it about a 8/10

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 10:07 PM
i think that i will just pick up both tomorrow at my local Game X-Change. if the graphics are 8 out of 10 for final fantasy standard then it must be pretty darn good.

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 10:11 PM
Well...hmmm... how do I explain. Most people hate FF9. They think it's kind of a childish game.I gave it a 8/10. It's not perfect. It gets a decent rating.

FF11 I wouldn't recommend at all because of it's akward way of playing. I hear once you get into it and level up, it becomes more entertaining but, Honestly, I dont recomend.

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 10:14 PM
11 just looks weird to me. personally i can't stand online games, especially when you have to rely on other people. i like to be in control of the whole party.

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 10:17 PM
Yeah that's exactly What I'm thinking!!

Online gaming should be kept away from RPG's. I think that it's a better idea to leave Online Gaming to all the sports and shooter games.

FF11. Is probably the worst FF.

So have you played FF Tactics?

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 10:25 PM
no, i haven't. X started it all for me on accident one day and i fell in love with the genre. played a little bit of VII but never finished it.

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 10:28 PM
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

You haven't finished FF7!!!!!!!!

Oh man you're missing out!!!!! You have to finish the game man!

If the budget is low, I recommend playing the second half of FF7 over the entire FF9. I love FF7 if you haven't already noticed.:p

*looks at DarkseidX's avatar*

Yes that is Aeris.:D

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 10:31 PM
yeah, i know. it's high up there on my to do list. will most likely start tomorrow.

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 10:36 PM
Yeah that's good. You should do that before anything.

So how far did you get in the game before you stopped?

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 10:42 PM
not far enough. it was years ago and i started playing it at a friends house. stayed up playing it all night which must have been about 8 hours straight. then that guy moved, i didn't have a playstation at the time, and when i got one that just wasn't one of the games i got. was never really an rpg junkie until X turned me on to them for the PS2. now it's my favorite genre and i want to go back and play some of the classics.

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 10:45 PM
Alright dude!! So you probably got close to leaving Midgar for the first time!!! OMG you never got to use RED 13 or Vincent or Cid or Cait Sith or Yuffie...wait nobody uses Yuffie or Cait Sith :lol:

Hey when you get FF7 You can ask me anything and I'll be there in a flash to help you out dude. Any materia you need I know it. Strategies. I got em.:D

luthorsmentor
04-15-2005, 10:47 PM
that sounds about right, and now i never did get to use them. and i will take you up on that strategy offer for sure

DarkseidX
04-15-2005, 10:55 PM
Just between us. I recommend using Cloud, Vincent and Red 13 as your "Dream Team". Cloud is already in your team. Vincent has such a cool story and definatel yone of the coolest characters of all time.

And Red 13....OMG...RED 13...MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME CHARACTER OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!

HE is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! The way you find him is so cool.

AUUUUU!!!!!!!

He has in my opinion the coolest Limit Break of all the limit breaks in the game. I think it even tops Cloud's Omnislash. (which BTW is such a bit** to get)

He's overall the coolest the easiest to level up and honestly the best character.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 10:07 AM
:lol:

Well Aeris would be in my team if that counts for anything.:D

I already bought FF8.:) I still need to open it up and play it though. I've got other games to take care of. Like for example I'm still not done woth kOTOR 1 and 2 which BTW I recommend if you haven't played it already.

Ahh GTA SA. I was barely re-playing the game. IMO, this probably the easiest of all the GTA games. It's cooler, it has more features, it's larger, but it's easy.

I love just stealing the cop bikes and like drive-bing anybody in site.:lol:

It's the funnest thing in the world.:D

Darkseid, you'll love FF8. It's a fantastic game. I love the magic system. If you actually take the time to get a good start, it's possible to have over 2000 hp two hours into the game. I love it. However, my favorite part doesn't start until disk 3. Esthar to the end is the best!

Isn't the guy in your avatar the kid from KH?

Anyway, what other FF's have you played?FPS?

Jellie
04-16-2005, 11:24 AM
FPS i have played half life, counter strike and deus ex, i loved counter strike

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 11:28 AM
A fellow Counter striker eh?:p

So how good would you say you are? X/10?

Jellie
04-16-2005, 11:31 AM
about 8/10 i used to kick ass back in high school. I havnt really played it much since then

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 11:36 AM
WOW. That's pretty good. I'd say your better than me. I hope your being honest cause 8/10 is really good. Considering how good some people on counterstike are.

So with how many people would you usually play with? 8? 16?

OR 1 ON 1??

Jellie
04-16-2005, 11:54 AM
I am being honest. Back in school the i.t. teacher was always out smoking or something he let us do whatever we wanted to do. We all played Counter Strike the whole class and i got good at it.

I loved 1 on 1 grudge matches though. I havnt played in a couple of years though

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 11:56 AM
Oh. That's cool. Let's talk Resident Evil, which ones have you played?

Jellie
04-16-2005, 11:58 AM
Resident evil 1,2 i never really got into 3 though for some reason. I also played code veronica.

Resident Evil 1 was my favorite though. It really did change the game in terms of the way games could get made etc. It truly was an innovator

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 12:04 PM
It was a really good game. Chris Redfield!!!!

Resident Evil 2 was IMO the second best Resident Evil game. Resident Evil 4 has definetly taken over the seires. It's such an amazing game with possibly the best graphics.

I just love the story of Claire and his brother and Leon. God I die each time I play the game cause it's so cool.

Veronica was good but I got stuck in a far point in the game when you put in the ant in the musicbox. The cd I had must've had a glitch caus eit didn't open up the door.:\

Dark_Valkyrie
04-16-2005, 01:43 PM
.. Hmm.. resident evil, huh? I couldn't even bare watching the movie. Then again, movies and video games... there's a difference.

I love RPG's ... but am horrible at 1st person shooters. My brother has the new Times Splitters game, and I'm still hesitating about giving it a try. He said there's a lot of comic relief.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 01:44 PM
:lol:

That's okay!!!:D

I still love RPG's over FPS.:p

So tell me DV....what FF's or RPG's have you played?

O and BTW you can call me Chris :)

Dark_Valkyrie
04-16-2005, 01:55 PM
Okay, Chris.

( You can call me Amélie... or Emily, if you don't feel like putting accents...)

What RPG's and FF's have I played?

Well, on PS1 and PS2, there's:

The Legend of the Dragoon
.Hack/Infection, Mutation, Outbreak (Can't get my hands on Quarantine)
Star Ocean(didn't get far)
FF 7, 9, 10, 10-2
Kindom Hearts...

On other consoles : Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2...

I know there's more... But my brother keeps on getting rid of games we've already beaten... unless they're worth beating over and over again.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 01:58 PM
:lol:

Yeah same. I have to keep trading in and trading in to get new games.:p

I'll call you Emily then.:)

I loved Playing 7, 9, and 10!!!! It's funny I haven't played FF 8 either.:lol:

Kingdom Hearts.....I love that game!!!!! Wahoo key bearer!!!!

Dark_Valkyrie
04-16-2005, 02:08 PM
Yep. I found it a very amusing game. For some reason, I found beating bosses incredibly easy, although there are some I've had a lot of trouble defeating, or never have :

Olympus Coliseum Cups
Kurt Zisa
Phantom
Evil Rikku ( in Hollow Bastion)

Let's just say I have problems beating bosses whenever Donald and Goofy have abandoned me. I don't remember why, but I temporarily stopped playing at some point, saved at the point of no return. I wanted to train a whole lot before going through the pink door. Anyways, while I was watching the 3rd season finale of Smallville, one night (I was incredibly psyched), my 7 year old brother ran up to me screaming : COME QUICK, I BEAT THE GAME!

Turns out I missed the last 5 mins of Smallville : the most crucial scenes. My friend made fun of me the next day, saying :
" Whoa! You missed a whole lot of stuff! Clark was naked! "

AND I missed the first 5 minutes of the ending of KH...

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 02:11 PM
:lol:

So you never beat Kurt Zisa eh? He's a hard one but I eventually took him down. You have to use the summons if you want to survive against this guy. He gets real hard near the end. The phantom is also a bit tricky.

But I think Sephiroth is the hardest to beat. He's almost impossible even at level 100. Evil Rikku I thought was easy as lonmg as you kept moving and gliding.

So what was your favorite summon?

Dark_Valkyrie
04-16-2005, 02:23 PM
( I DID beat Kurt Zisa, casting ICE a whole lot of times... for some reason, in the beginning, I kept on casting FIRE on him... how dumb was that?)

Hmm... my favorite summon? Well, I didn't use summons often, but I'd have to say Dumbo, or Mushu.

Dumbo : attacking the jumping mushrooms are fun!
Mushu : it's like using a gun, only it's a dragon!

What was your favorite part of the game? I loved Hollow Bastion. I just don't know if it was the background story... or the background music.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 02:30 PM
Everything about Halloween Town was like a dream come true when the game barely came out. I'm personally fascinated with Tim Burton and his genius way of coming up with alternate realities.

Halloween Town was definately my favorite. Though I do like being able to hear cloud and Yuffie talk. O and Aeris!

What was your dream team in FF7?

Dark_Valkyrie
04-16-2005, 02:47 PM
My favorite team? Oh, dear... I think it was Cloud, Aeris and Vincent. Well, those are my favorite characters. Whether or not I actually fought with these three, I remember not. I think I replaced Aeris with Tifa or Yuffie.

Anyways, I have to go. I'll be back later... though I'm not quite sure when. Buh bye for now!

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 02:50 PM

I personally liked my team Cloud, Vincent and Red 13. AUUU!!!:rotfl:

My favorite was Cloud, Vincent, Yuffie :D.

Yuffie? You little cat!!!!:lol:

Hey Buzz did you play any Resident Evil games?

BuZzArD 8012
04-16-2005, 03:04 PM

Yup, I have. But its been awhile, I think I played the one with nemesis in it.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 03:05 PM
Nemesis eh? So you played Resident Evil 3?

Ah stop being a punk you have to remember the game your only 14!!!!!

Jill Valentine.She's an awesome character.

Yea, she was.

So did you ever play ff9?

Hell yeah I did!!!!

And it was awesome!!! Who was in your team?

BuZzArD 8012
04-16-2005, 03:16 PM
I played it once and didn't like it. So I really didn't have team.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 03:18 PM
Oh that's cool. Most people dont like FF9 cause of it's weird of gameplay.

Dirge of Cerberus coming out soon. Do you plan on buying it? It's for the PS2 and based completely on Vincent.

BuZzArD 8012
04-16-2005, 03:21 PM
I never heard of that game before.

Thats's awesome that he is having his own game. I have to pick that up :D.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 03:24 PM
Yeah that's something I'm waiting for. I've always wondered about Vincent's secret life. I mean the guy was a Turk!!!

What the hell went on in his life??? He's now a vampire, and Jenova???

I have to know the truth!!

BuZzArD 8012

Yes siree!! So which ones have ypu played?

Jellie
04-16-2005, 04:28 PM
1,2 and code veronica, 1 was the best in my opinion it was just so fresh at the time i couldnt believe what i was seeing

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 04:29 PM
O that's right!!!! Hey didn't you just love the whole Chris and Claire Redfield story?

Jellie
04-16-2005, 04:31 PM
i loved the story. I didnt want to go to school at the time because i wanted to figure everything out.

I went mad at the end when Wesker (you could tell he was a snake all along damn it) and Barry had to turn on you.

At the time resident evil was the best game i had ever played

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 04:35 PM
Resident Evil in my mind was like the transition point from you know regular like T rated to Mature rated games. That was like the first game I played with an M rating.

It was such a good game and overall a good series. It never ever got old or boring. I could re-play and re-play it and it would never get old on me.

Leon Kennedy I even found to be like a role model :lol:

Jellie
04-16-2005, 04:39 PM
Tell me this Chris. Did you think at the time that Wesker and Barry would double cross you?

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 04:42 PM
It crossed my mind while I was thoughtlessly wasting my ammo killing zombies.

But it's just one of those things that you dont expect to happen.

I'm so mad!!!! Why did they have to bring Jill Valentine into the movie and not Leon or Claire??

Jellie
04-16-2005, 04:45 PM
I dont know thats the way it is and we can do nothing about it.

Id love to see Metal Gear Solid made into a movie. That would be amazing if it was done correctly.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 04:48 PM
Nah I think they should keep Metal Gear as a game. They usually destroy long lasting good stories by making the games into movies.

As in the case of Resident Evil.

Hey did you happen to use Hunk or Tofu as secret characters in Resident Evil2?

Jellie
04-16-2005, 04:53 PM
I suppose you are correct about making metal gear into a game. If one of the top writers directors etc got behind it and did it right i wouldnt mind it. Ofcourse that probably wouldnt happen.

I barely even finished resident evil 2 and i played it about 6yrs ago. I dont believe i used any secret characters

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 04:57 PM
Oh man you missed out!!!!

Hunk is like an Umbrealla Mercenary who is half dead when you find him. Bu you gotta make your way out of the Police Station with limited ammo and health products.

And tofu is hilarious!!!!:lol:

Tofu is literally a big piece of Tofu walking around with a knife!!:lol:

He has no weapons but a knife and he has a bunch of health items.

It's the funniest thing.

04-16-2005, 05:06 PM
Sounds like fun. I am missing out on resident evil 4 aswell because it isnt out on the ps2.

It looks pretty good aswell. No zombies just crazy people running after you.

I got Splinter cell chaos theory yesterday. Have you ever played any of the splinter cell games?

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 05:08 PM
Nah I actually never followed that series. And hey I feel yah on the Resident Evil 4 thing. I dont own a Gamecube so I cant play RE4:\

All I can do is play the demo at my local EBGames:lol:

Jellie
04-16-2005, 05:13 PM
You are missing out. The splinter cell games are all top draw.

I would never buy a gamecube just for 1 game. Thats being a bit harsh the zelda games look good and mario is always good but i still wouldnt get a gamecube. Once the psx came out nintendo never got a look in

My dad bought me the nintendo 64. Goldeneye was a classic back then as was mario fzero and banjo kaz? along with perfect dark. Other than that it was a crap machine

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 05:16 PM
I loved the Banjo Kazooie. That was my fav game when I was a kid and I also loved playing Resident Evil 2 on the N64.

I'm going to buy Gamecube for my birthday in October to get. Mario Tennis, Resident Evil 4, and Starfox Assault.

O I loved Starfox 64 too. That was a good game.

Jellie
04-16-2005, 05:20 PM
My dad back in the day would buy me a new game anytime he seen a new game advertised. It didnt matter what it was he would just bring one home.

I remember he brought Banjo Kazooie home. I thought it was gonna be crap. I was surprised at how good it was. It was a classic game.

Starfox 64 was called lylat Wars over her for some reason. I forgot about that game. ninetendo used to be so good. I had the original nintendo as a kid the sega and its crappy master system never got a look in.

Where you a sega guy or where you a nintendo guy back then? or both?

Plays With Squirrels
04-16-2005, 05:20 PM
Evil Rikku? I missed something! That wasn't in the strategy guide!

As for Xenosaga, I quit playing it in the final area. For some reason everything was whippin' my ass.

Goldeneye on N64 rocks but I think we can all agree that Halo (and more recently Halo 2) is the best first-person shooter in history. I personally love my X-Box. Fable is a fantastic game. It's only too short if you don't take your time. I got to go to Witchwood before I ever went Bowerstone. Just take your time, do all the optional missions, and you'll be ok.

I got MGS: Twin Snakes last summer. It was a good remake. I loved the mechanics of Sons of Liberty, but it didn't work quite right in Twin Snakes. It didn't feel quite natural.

I was a bit of both but I'll be honest, I had Sega before I had Nintendo.

I used to love playing Sonic and all those other cool games.

Banjo Kazzoie was a classic.

Yeah at the end of Xenosaga everything was just hard as hell!!! Everything was killing me. They're good. I like Sons of Lyberty it was a good game.

I dont know about Halo being the best FPS. Halo 2 sucked with it's huge maps. It was pretty bad. I like Counterstrike over Halo big time.

I was a Sega and Nintendo guy. I loved Zelda on Super Nintendo (which was my first sytem ever). I also had a Sega. I loved playing Sonic. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine was a fantastic game and hard as balls to beat.

In Goldeneye, I was never able to beat the Aztec level. It just kept pissin' me off. But my friend beat everything in just the right way to get all the other Bonds (Connery, Moore, Lazenby, and Dalton). I loved that game. I played the bajeezus out of it.

As much as I love Goldeneye, Halo is better. I'm not really an X-Box guy. I only own three games, but I love Halo. I haven't played my GameCube in months. I'm bored with everything I've got.

I know that, but most of the people who now play RE4 had never ever played any other RE games. It's just a plain old good game.

personally i love my gamecube. i'm also not into the re4 game or any of the R.E games. but re4 is very well done. the gamecube is a fantastic little machine. chris you are right on the money about fable being too short. i'm curious though did you go through as a goody goody or were you totally evil with the horns growing out of your head? and i thought that it had already been established that half-life 2 is the be all end all of fps.

I, Mr. Squirrels, said it was too short. Not Chris.

The first time I played through the game I was evil. I took the Sword of Aeons at the end of the game.

The second time through, I was good. It was a heck of a whole lot harder.

I played Half-Life 2 at my friend's house over Christmas break and I thought it was terrible. The graphics were bad and the controls were clunky.

I said Fable was too short in the original FF thread and RPG's thread.

Well now that you ask LM, I was a bit of a devil myself:lol:

So yeah I chose the darkseid first and then I tried the goodside. The badside was no doubt the best.

the first thread of rpg's was to which i was referring. though i have to disagree on half life having "clunky controls" to me they were spot on. and yes evil in fable is much, much easier.

DarkseidX
04-16-2005, 09:50 PM
It's just your always playing the good character and when you have the chance to use the bad side, it's so much more fun.

I think it works that way for everything. If I could use Sephiroth for example, hot damn that'd be cool.

that is definitely the case in KOTOR i played through it first trying to max out the light side points and that was fine and dandy until i got to Darth Malak. He was hard as heck to beat whilst being good. however when i replayed the game as totally on the dark side the game was much more fun and beating malak at the end was a breeze.

There's this one move in FF8 that's pretty awesome. It's called Devour. You have to use it to max out your stats without gaining exp, which you have to keep your levels as low as possible to do well in the game. It says, "Censored! Please stand by!" and shows a field of flowers.

Plays With Squirrels
04-17-2005, 09:53 PM
I sure was. I personally found Ruby pretty easy. I did it was a trick, though. Well, it wasn't really a trick. Make sure Barret has regen on, have his Missing Score equipped, and put all counter-attack materia on him. With that weapon equipped, he'll counter once for every materia equipped.

This only works with Barret. I tried with other people. No luck.

You should have him dead in three or four rounds.

DarkseidX
04-17-2005, 10:02 PM
Nah I think the best strategy is going in with two people already dead and then reviving them using phoenix, and then just clobbering him.

It's easy and fun. Cloud, Vincent, and Red13 kill him in like 2 turns no problem.

Well yeah that sux, but if you do the frankenstein limit break, he can do a kind of Omnislash exept it's 5 slashes rather than 18, but, he can keep doing it. So in time he can create incredible damage.

Is your friend lying to you? If he's got a version like that, it isn't authorized.

Aeris dying is symbolic. She's not supposed to come back from the dead.

I used a GS to keep her until the end and she never came out of my part to talk, never got any new weapons, she was stuck in your party and couldn't be removed, and you couldn't use her in the last battle.

That's exactly what I was thinking!!! It's just the only difference is, Sephiroth didn't kill anybody to be with Jenova. And the thing is, it's really creepy!!

Sephiroth doesn't show any compassion towards anything exept Jenova, what dpoes that say about him??

Was Jenova his only love? Were they even in love? Did Jenova even know that? I mean she was a robot for god's sake?

That's not even the point, the point is, she wasn't real. She was kind of like an unreal thing. I cant even describe what Jenova was.

But how is it possible that Sephiroth and her had some kind of relationship. Because they definatly had something going on.

Plays With Squirrels
04-18-2005, 06:34 PM
Jenova was an evil entity left over from the creation of the universe. That's in a book at the bottom of the Shinra Mansion. It followed the Cetra across the galaxy to feed off of them.

I don't think Sephiroth was screwing it.

DarkseidX
04-18-2005, 06:37 PM
Well obviously not having THAT kind of a relationship, but Sephiroth had this thing with Jenova, it was like a love realtionship. Kind of like a Sadist with Pain. It cant love with it, but pain brings pleasure to them.

That's my thought. Jenova definetly is not a living thing but the thing between Sephiroth and Jenova is not Parental Love.

Oh and for the hell of it:

Which FF X character are you? (http://quizilla.com/users/bakaneko/quizzes/Which%20Final%20Fantasy%20X%20Character%20Are%20Yo u%3F/)

Okay, weird...just fight through the page issues. The quiz is there.

I was Auron

I just took it I'm also Auron :p

lol, I told you I didn't like Soccer Chris :lol:.

But I might try out Twisted Metal Head on.

DarkseidX
04-22-2005, 06:42 PM
You suck Buzz. Yeah you'd better go with Untold Legends or TMHead On.

BuZzArD 8012
04-22-2005, 06:45 PM
Oh really :p. Well I feel like playing FF7 :D.

DarkseidX
04-22-2005, 06:46 PM
Yeah well I'm playing 10 beatch!!:lol:

Damn this game rocks.

BuZzArD 8012
04-22-2005, 06:49 PM
:lol:

Shore does, I love the graphics :D.

DarkseidX
04-22-2005, 06:52 PM
Yeah I think that's what keeps me playing this game. Blitzball baby yeah!!!!!

BuZzArD 8012
04-22-2005, 06:57 PM
I didn't really like Blitzball.

DarkseidX
04-22-2005, 07:02 PM
Personally I've always been a fan of chocobo racing.:D

BuZzArD 8012
04-22-2005, 07:10 PM
Yea, I loved chocobo racing. I think that was better then Blitz ball :D.

luthorsmentor
04-23-2005, 01:29 PM
alright nobody in this town has ff7. that is kind of frustrating. so i picked up KOTOR 2. if it is half as good as the first one it will be an rpg well worth playing as well.

DarkseidX
04-23-2005, 08:10 PM
It's okay I guess. I'm re-playing FF10 and having some trouble with those annoying puzzle things at the temples. I really hate those things.

One thing I'd like to say about 10 is, I absolutely loved the new form of building up stats. The whole sphere and nodes deal is truly a time saver.

luthorsmentor
04-23-2005, 09:54 PM
yeah, i liked the sphere node in ten a lot better than the level up system in ten-2. don't know why they had to try and fix something that wasn't broken. i remember those puzzles giving me a fit the first few times i tried them. once you figure out what you are supposed to do you feel like an idiot for not getting it immediately.

DarkseidX
04-24-2005, 10:31 AM
Yeah what's up with that???

I haven't played 10-2 but I hear they made some adjustments they should not have made.

Anyway, yeah I do feel a little dumb for not knowing the whole puzzle deal. The first time I played I went through so quikly and now I completely forgot to do them.

Hell I even forgot how to get the secret items in them.

Yuna and Seymour....what was she thinking!:lol:

Dark_Valkyrie
04-24-2005, 12:07 PM
Euk, I hated blitzball... loved chocobo racing, though.

I was playing X-2, and I was in this huge maze thingy in Bevelle. I think it had more than 100 levels, or something like that. I lost against the second boss in there... *sigh*

I liked the sphere nod in FFX, but it was kind of weird. Everyone could have the same moves (minus the special abilities) and the weakest character could become the strongest. That's why, for some reason, I loved fighting with the three girls.

But, after playing X-2... I realized something... I miss the guys. :(

DarkseidX
04-24-2005, 12:12 PM
Of course.

I'm personally fond of Auron and Kimahri.:D

But I'm in love with Yuna.

Damn you Tidus!!!

Dark_Valkyrie
04-24-2005, 12:42 PM
Who needs Lulu if Yuna could just as easily learn her spells? Actually, they all can. I don't know why, but I nearly never fought with Kimahri, nor Wakka. Tidus was weak, to me.. Auron is awesome, and I really liked Rikku... probably because she's fast...

I hate games where they put percentages, like *cough* FF X-2*cough*. It shows how bad I am when it comes to sidequests...

DarkseidX
04-24-2005, 12:44 PM
Hey I think we can all agree that FF 10-2 was a waste of a game.

*hopes Charlotte doesn't come cause she likes FF 10-2*:lol:

Hey Am did you ever get the Masamune blade in FF7?

Dark_Valkyrie
04-24-2005, 12:54 PM
No... you get it by winning on the flying saucer, right?
I'm not sure, but I THINK my brother won it, at some point, but I'm not sure whether or not it is actually a usable weapon...

There are so many rumors about that game. I remember seing my brother run in and out of the church over and over again, trying to reach ghost Aeris before disappearing. He never got her. However, he did get her through gameshark.. but it made the game incredibly glitchy. My favorite code was the unlimited LIMIT. All you had to go was hold the 4 top buttons, and the gauges would fill up. Omnislash was excrutiatingly fun to do, at that point.

DarkseidX
04-24-2005, 01:04 PM
I think the worst is having to wait for Knights of the Round :lol:

But yeah you have to do a lot of sh** to get the Marasume Blade but, you can use it. It's so crazy you have to beat all 5 weapons!!!

It's kinda tricky but it can happen.

Vincent can even use it as a gun. And then it eventually turns into a blade.

Dark_Valkyrie
04-24-2005, 01:29 PM
Hmmmm... I did not know that.
* has a sudden urge of playing the game *
Crap... I forgot... the 1st cd is busted. I blame my brothers for that.

Snake_Corda
04-24-2005, 07:42 PM
Chris you are killing me here...now I gotta go buy it and a memory card again to finally beat the damn thing!!

DarkseidX
04-25-2005, 08:55 PM
:lol:

Well Adam what can I say....FF7 ....is FF7 :rotfl::lol:

The marasume blade is quite possibly the hardest object I ever had to get in a game, and quite pssibly the coolest of all the objects ever atained in the entire FF Series.

It has a rather cool look to it. But I will say this, when using the marasume blade with Cloud, it does not look like Sephiroth's. Sorry :)

But Vincent's looks alot like Squall's gunblade. It's very coolio.:D

saxman
04-26-2005, 06:57 PM
well chris, you know the question, you read it twice, whats the answer ? lol

DarkseidX
04-26-2005, 07:09 PM
Definetly FF7.

If your looking for a new expeperience, I definetly recommend FF9.

Have you ever played FF 10 Simon?

saxman
04-26-2005, 07:20 PM
ive played all 3 actually.

have a ff10 game going on, but wanted to go semi-retro (semi, since retro would be snes or nes ff games)

DarkseidX
04-26-2005, 07:27 PM
Oh yeah go with FF7 dude!!!!!

Hey it's so awesome, I just received a Red 13 figurine from My friend. It's so cool looking.

Xcalibur
04-28-2005, 12:51 PM
hey kool thread

DarkseidX
04-28-2005, 03:48 PM
Thanx nice avatar. I love Kairi from KH.

Who's your favorite character?

Snake_Corda
04-28-2005, 04:02 PM
Chris I gotta disagree with you here about FF9...quite possible the worst FF game in my opinion. I beat it and wished I hadn't wasted 50+ hours of my game time life. I thought I'd never say that about a FF game.

DarkseidX
04-28-2005, 04:06 PM
I thought he had never played it before so I said if he wanted to play something new, to go for FF9.

I was an okay game. I hated playing FF 8. The character Squall was boring and utterly annoying. I never quite finished playing the game cause it was so bad.

FF 9 IMO was better.
************************************************** ************************************************** ***

In other news, FF 12 looks like a real promiser. I've seen some clips of it in japanese and it's not that bad. It looks pretty cool actually. Ivalice was a cool world.

Snake_Corda
04-28-2005, 08:51 PM
I remember Squall as well, and I couldn't handle his "I hate the world and wish it would die attitude." :rolleyes:

If you say 9 was better then i will take your word for it. I'm just glad they bounced back so well with 10.

I really like what I've seen of 12 as well and I can't wait my man.

Oh on another note, does anyone get the channel G4? It's basically a tech channel but they are always promoting games and having shows that pit teams against one another in first person shooters and other team games. I am addicted to that channel :lol:

DarkseidX
04-28-2005, 08:58 PM
Sounds so cool!!!

Sorry no channel here.:\

12 looks like a real real promiser. I cant wait to re-visit Ivalice.

And yeah, Squall's attitude was so dumb.

Snake_Corda
04-28-2005, 09:02 PM
Well yell at your provider, they might be able to hook you up.

12 does look good...and so does Ashe :p

I am really starved for a new rpg, especially since I haven't played the 2nd installment of Xenosaga!

DarkseidX
04-28-2005, 09:04 PM
Oh yeah she looks good!!!!:lol:

Oh man you're missing out!!!!!.....so am I though.:\

Snake_Corda
04-28-2005, 09:06 PM
Yeah like a second Yuna...with a little more back :p :lol:

I know man...I really want to play it even though they have a different Kos-Mos voice actress.:\

DarkseidX
04-28-2005, 09:10 PM
WTF. I hate that new KOS-MOS. I like the old one.

Ashe has a bit too much back if you ask me.:lol:

Xcalibur
04-29-2005, 07:26 AM
my favourite character is probably tidus cuz he is so outgoing....

i also like Vivi fromm ff9

i thought ff9 was a fun game ........but iguess it depends on you taste..


and about ff12 it looks amazing........i have the trailer downloaded

Snake_Corda
04-29-2005, 07:54 AM
I guess I never felt compelled by the story line of 9 and the ending really let me down...

Oh speaking of G4 yesterday, I was watching last night and the show Cheat came on. First off, they are using eye candy as a hostess :lol:. They were going over God of War. If you do not want to know how to beat a game completely then do not watch this show...good God, they go through everything completely.

Xcalibur
04-29-2005, 08:02 AM
hmm i like Arena from g4.......as well as icons

DarkseidX
04-29-2005, 04:03 PM
I'm lost now but let's keep the G4 talk to a minimal thanx.:)

FF9 your favorite huh? It's a hella interesting game I'll tell you that.

Black Mage:http://www.crazymania.com.br/games/Imagens/black_mage.jpg

KH eh? I love that game.

Xcalibur
04-29-2005, 06:03 PM

ff8 was different.....I didnt like squall too much

i've been playing ffx-2 during christmas.......i'm trying to beat out a really long sidequest actually

DarkseidX
04-29-2005, 06:04 PM

final fantasy master.........alrite .......thats kool

hmm so i can ask you any questions huh

DarkseidX
04-29-2005, 09:55 PM
Yep ask any questions.

But dont start making up questions or challenging me just to meet up to your expectations. Ask me questions if you need help or assistance.

Maybe you'd like to hear of some upcoming releases?

Xcalibur
04-29-2005, 10:02 PM
hmm......no.....its kool.......i think i know alot..........

what i mean to say is that i'm really up to date too........heheh

DarkseidX
04-29-2005, 10:07 PM
Gotcha.

I was thinking they should've made a Red13 summon for KH 2.

Xcalibur
04-30-2005, 08:59 AM
yes indeed

so what final fantasies have you played?

PATMAN
04-30-2005, 04:34 PM
does ne1 know if the KOTOR series will come to ps2

Xcalibur
04-30-2005, 04:41 PM
i highly doubt it

luthorsmentor

i'm sure that they would sell a lot more copies if they gave in but as far as i know if you don't have an xbox or play on a pc you won't be playing KOTOR

Xcalibur
05-01-2005, 12:46 PM
i didnt like KOTOR anyway

luthorsmentor
05-01-2005, 02:29 PM
i love KOTOR i'm playing 2 right now. the stories are great in both games. i'm sure that it helps that i'm a huge star wars fan as well but i still prefer the final fantasy experience as far as RPG's go.

DarkseidX
05-01-2005, 02:59 PM
Yeah it's a good game!!!

Sadly I looked it up, nope they have no hope for KOTOR on ps2. Kinda like Halo.:\

PATMAN
05-01-2005, 04:26 PM
ya i figuered that

im definently gettin ep. 3 and battlefront 2 though. ep. 3's got multiplayer too

Also-

Will FFXII be long (like FFVII, IX, and X) or short like the makers previous games (FF Tactics...)

DarkseidX
05-01-2005, 05:04 PM
I'd say normal. About 40 hours if you wanna get somewhat good.

Battlefront was one of the biggest dissapointments. It was so boring after the second day.

Xcalibur
05-01-2005, 08:00 PM
Episode 3 should be good.......

and as for ff12 ..........i have really high hopes

DarkseidX
05-01-2005, 08:37 PM
I think everybody does. It's going to be so awesome. I hope like that like in the original tactics, Cloud comes out as a secret character. That would be so cool.

I cant wait for Starwars 3 to come out. Is it going to be a two player?

Xcalibur
05-02-2005, 01:46 PM
i would believe so

PATMAN
05-02-2005, 04:05 PM
It is. It says something about a multiplayer mode on the back of the box.

DarkseidX
05-02-2005, 04:39 PM
Ohh that's cool.

Any of you Resident Evil fans?

Xcalibur
05-02-2005, 08:29 PM
i 've tried resident evil 3
