Final Fantasy

[hugobomb]

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN!

Anybody up for a play-along? Looking specifically at the PS2 games (mostly XII since I've still not completed it), but I don't mind any game.

Any of the PS1 era is fine with me, did we do a VIII play-along before?

[Benji]

I started FFXIII again the other day, this time using the guide to collect everything. Got to admit, it's less of a let down when you know what's coming, but it's still not the game it should be. Just about to go and face...

... the Shiva sisters...

... and I'm finding it more interesting seeing the nuances, particularly in the datalog.

[whiskers]

I'm looking forward to a playthrough, as well. If we're taking votes, I'd have to go with VI. Of the PS2 ones, I'd say XII, as I haven't really even played it.

[Robsturgh]

Final Fantasy XIV looks incredibly appetising. Anyone else played it yet?

[Benji]

Final Fantasy XIV looks like Final Fantasy XI with better graphics and a slightly different name. If it's possible I actually feel like I give even less of a fuck. Regardless, I'll probably check it out based on name alone.

I fucking hate that they're wasting another Final Fantasy on a MMO. They should have kept the series strictly offline.

[Pizza]

I dont care that they're making MMO's, but they should have kept them out of the numbered series.

[Momo]

Anyone have any advice on how to beat the Emperor in FF2 without the Blood Sword. I'm thinking I'm going to have to grind, but it's not something I'm particularly looking forward to.

[Benji]

I caved and decided to get a big PSP memory stick so that I didn't have to swap games whenever I want to play FFVII, VIII or IX on it. Immediately started playing FFVII and I'm up to Rocket Town without getting even close to being bored. I know people have issues with it, but I don't think I'll ever tire of playing FFVII, it's got the perfect balance of battles, levelling and fun side stuff to keep my interest all the way through.

It´s just a number, it´s not the same team working on the game and there is no storyline that continues from game to game. I´ed be much more concernt about games like FF13... because whatever went wrong with that one screwed you out of a better game.

[Clawson]

I liked XIII a lot. Though I don't think I'll ever be truly happy until we get another one that is like IX.

[King Ellis]

I've been playing FVII for the past week or two. I was loving it but now have hit something of a hump. I ended up grinding a bit inside Gaea's Cliff, which coupled with the mind fuck inside Whirlwind Maze has a put a little dampner on things.

[Benji]

God yes, that section is a cunt, I stand corrected. Mostly because I hate not having all the materia and I'm easily confused trying to find my way to Alexander

[Ruki]

Agreed!

Or another Tactics type game.

I should have played VIII or IX a month or two ago....now I have a shitload of new games

[Katsuya]

I think I stopped some time before going back in to Midgar. Or I'd just re-entered Midgar, I can't quite remember. Either way, I need to finish that game off I think since I wanted to do a run through with different characters (since I'd pretty much spammed Vincent + Red XIII the entire game along with Cloud)

But the game basicly plays itself for you...

Finally got back to my IX game, just about to go to Kuja's desert palace. His lying to the Black Mages still pisses my off to this day, so kicking his ass will be even more satisfying

Basically? The only thing you get to choose is when to grind, and that takes until about hour 15 until you actually need to. I liked FFXIII's characters and the story was what it was, but the gameplay dynamic is more complex in a game of pong, and I'm barely using hyperbole there.

I was trying to not get everyone into "zOMG i hate youz Matzarrrrt" mode. But yeah, there is no game, therefore they screwed you out of it. That was kind of the point i was trying to make.

Well, I just dl'd FFVII for my PS3 last Thursday. If I'd known getting FFVII was an option, I likely would've never gotten a 360

Now to finally finish it. I once borrowed it off a mate and got back to Midgar, but that was it. This time I plan on finishing it
