Finaly Fantasy 10

[Benny1_At_School]

Okay, so I recently started playing this again.
This is easily the best final fantasy game I have ever played.
NO I DID NOT PLAY FINAL FANTASY 1-6 OR TACTICS SO DON'T TELL ME HOW MUCH BETTER THEY ARE.
Anyways, I really like it because when you finish the storyline it isn't over like a lot of other games are. You can keep going around and around the sphere grid, it would take forever to finish it, and when you do, you can even make it better.
And the monster arena is a ton of fun, although it is frusturating trying to capture ten of the really rare or hard to kill monsters. Then you get to try to kill earth eater or nemesis or neslug or whatever you feel like dying to today.
Anyways, I find it to have a good plot, and a TON to do, so discuss.
Also, tring to beat 0:0.0 on the chocobo race is the most frustrating thing ever. Except for dodging 200 lightning bolts.
Discuss.

[Reach]

Yea, I completed the game and beat nemesis.

Great game. Don't know why so many people dislike it.

FF6 is better though XD ZOMG SO MUCHZ BETTAR

getting some of the celestial weapons was homo ****.

[nforcer06164]

FFX > FFVII. I've been trying to push that for so long. I don't see what's so great about FFVII, and they make a billion sequels to THAT?!

FFX is the end all and be all to Final Fantasy, in my opinion. No storyline can compare to it. The music was enchanting, magical. The battle system was actually fun, and flawless. I absolutely loved that game from beginning to end. The story was the best part, of course, but it was probably the most satisfying experience overall (aside from all the nauseating side quests) I've ever had with a game. It's the first and only game whose ending, I'm not afraid to admit, actually made me cry.

[esupin]

I played FFX over the summer(I had borrowed my friend's copy). A great game, but I really like Grandia II.

[Pumble]

Fun game, the only problem i had with it was that it was too damn linear.

[Bahamut-X]

I never beat Nemesis =( Got close before though. Also powering up Onion Knight is really annoying, I've done it once though.

FFX > FFVII. I've been trying to push that for so long. I don't see what's so great about FFVII, and they make a billion sequels to THAT?!

There are currently no sequels to FFVII while there is one sequel to FFX. There is one sequel being made for FFVII which is Dirge of Cerberus. Considering how popular FFVII was you would have expected a sequel to come out for FFVII long before FFX. In regards to that, you got just what you wanted.

And in my opinion, all aspects of FFX did not apeal to me (sucked). Another story pitting heroes against one giant evil being bent on destroying the world. Only one outcome.. Of course there was an interesting sub-plot in there, but I can't say that was the main focus.. after a certain point at least.

The music was lacking.. I am a huge Nobuo Uematsu fan. Bought the FFVII soundtrack (Loved the music, but the game was just alright. I believe it held more magic when I was younger) but I can't say I enjoyed the music. While most was collaboration, I can't say it worked out.

Yatta yatta, opinion opinion. I'm not checking this thread anymore.

[Tasuke]

I didn't like the characters in that game. If i'm gonna be
playing for someone for 10+ hours in a game I want them
to be neat characters. That's why I liked FFIX, because
Vivi and Zidane were funny. I liked it more than FFVII,
because I DO NOT LIKE CLOUD, he is a whiny little anoyying guy.

[jewpinthethird]

I really enjoyed playing FFX. And I want to play it again. I thought it was a well done game. Not too long, not difficult, and the plot was pretty sound. I didnt mind that it was linear, and I honestly think people who call a game "linear" are just making up excuses to not like the game.

I thought the soundtrack was really good...though it didnt have a super easily recognizable song like "One Winged Angel," it was still a great soundtrack overall, and one of the few soundtracks where I think it could pass on it's own without ties to the game. The environment design was pretty awesome too...probably a big selling point for me.

I really liked the plot too. Not so much the whole "hey we have to go fight sin" deal, but everything else. I know the story was the driving factor in the game for me. Though the "twist" and ending were pretty predictable. I thought Yuna's speech at the end was a nice touch and I wish they had ended the story there.

FFX-2....uuuuugh. That's all I have to say about that.

[Cj_leonine]

FFX-2....uuuuugh. That's all I have to say about that.


After playing X-2 I never wanted to play FFX again. It kinda ruined it all for me.

But right now im currently trying to remake my whole sphere grid so that everyones stats are 225 or whatever. Then I will make SUPER ARMORS AND SHIZ!!!!

What? I got a lot of free time. 175 hours+.

[Benny1]

I liked the idea of continuing the story of final fantasy X, it had plenty of room to do that, except they bloody massacred the plot, which pisses me off,

Max stats are 255.
The monster arena will be your friend.
Super armor though is really hard to make, I would guess like auto-stuff but I dunno, it might not work well.

[Reach]

I never beat Nemesis =(

Yojimbo. XD

The game was way too god damn linear. If that had of added a world map the game would have been so much better right there.

[Moogy]

FFX-2 is the worst game ever. I got to chapter 2 and quit because it was the worst thing I'd ever played.

[nforcer06164]

I think the linearization is what kept the story together. The story would've gotten jumbled, and then it's wouldn't have been as good as it was.

I only bought FFX-2 because of the story of FFX. X-2 isn't too bad in my opinion, but only for one play through. I'm in agony forcing myself to play for 100%.

[Pumble]

I think the linearization is what kept the story together. The story would've gotten jumbled, and then it's wouldn't have been as good as it was.

For me, sacrificing gameplay for story is a big no, for the most part.

[EternaLStrifE]

i actually got stats up to 255 on 3 characters but HP and MP is not at 99,999, took me about 150hours and about 13 million gils.

[scorpio1690]

I hated the story so much. It was pointless,"Oh I'm just a dream I'm gonna jump off a ship now and never exist,". I never played X-2 but my friend told me about how Tidus comes back or some **** like that. Ya Square-Enix kinda totally ruined Final Fantasy. Good job America.

[jewpinthethird]

I like FFX more when I thought Tidus was gone forever.

[Moogy]

FFX is a terrible game. It was the first part of Square's plan to make all of their game CG-driven crapfests, with greater focus on the OMG REALISTIC GRAPHIX than gameplay or story. Well, actually, that was FF7. But it didn't really work until FFX. Or something. I don't know. FF sucks. 'Cept FFT.

[ToshX]

I spent like, 230 hours on FFX, which isn't that much compared to some of my other games(I won't bring up Disgaea). Anyway, 255 in all on most characters, all monsters in the arena unlocked, ultimate weapons, and whatever. I found Blitzball a GREAT time passer, and tons of fun. I used the Don Tonberry AP Trick to get all those stats, but whatever. I'm not going to get 99,999HP, because it's not needed with the defense. Same with 9,999MP and One MP Cost. Some 20 million gil. I certainly played this game a lot before, but it got boring.
---
Moogy, you only like FFT because you like Disgaea, Makai, etc.

[Benny1]

Okay, so I am now working on beathing that goddamn butterfly catching game. What kind of demon made up that game.
I think I am going to stop powerlevelling kimahri because I can't get his ult. weapon.

[Moogy]

Moogy, you only like FFT because you like Disgaea, Makai, etc.
Too bad I had multiple 500 hour files and all SCCs done on it before I had even heard of Disgaea.

[ToshX]

I meant that you like tactical games :/

[Spoogemaker]

go get laid.

[GuidoHunter]

What the hell is with Lulu's ultima weapon quest, seriously?

From what I watched of the game, it was pretty cool, though.

[ToshX]

I don't remember from not playing it for so long, but to power it up or something you need to dodge 200 bolts of lightning in a row :/ It's probably the hardest one to do. I got 0 seconds on the chocobo race on my second try, but some people say that's harder.

[Cj_leonine]

I hate lightning bolts. That was frustrating.

189 . . . 195!!! . . . 199!!!!!!!!!1. . .
M*&^*)(*& GOD@(#*^%( MOTHER@)(&#*&!@)# S*!^%@ D(*&#@

1 . . .

[ToshX]

I once accidentally counted wrong and got to 199, then I went back into the thing. I then noticed I had 199 and had to do it over again. Just suck it up and do it, it only takes like, 10 minutes if you do it in the right place.

[nforcer06164]

yeah, I got to 199 bolts and missed once. I couldn't play the game for another week. And I don't know what's so hard about the butterflies... I finished all three sets in less than an hour. You just need to learn the pattern. It's not that bad.

[slipstrike0159]

ur....definetely a girl right?
LOL! jk
anyways, i played FFX, i agree the story was a little bland, i disagree that it had the best storyline (FFIX storyline was way better GOO FFIX!!), i have beaten everything and done everything u could do on FFX, i think it is one of the more easy games in the series. BTW, you would cry more over FFIX than u would FFX in my opinion of course im not a girly girl so i didnt cry for either one but (im just messin with u about the "girly girl" stuff =P) i still think FFIX was better put together. In my total opinion, FFX's story line was kinda just thrown together while they consentrated more on making the graphics and stuff look better.Im not saying it wasnt a great game though. FFX-2,did that game suck@!, although i did finish it and see the final ending =P.

[slipstrike0159]

common no one is gonna respond?

[jewpinthethird]

FFX was unbelievable easy.

[pixil]

i agree, it is the easiest one out of the whole series to beat so far.

[mead1]

FFX? I saw that movie.

[nforcer06164]

FFX? I saw that movie.
I've said it about Kingdom Hearts, I'll say it about FFX... I would've paid $50 just for the story on DVD.

[mead1]

Not saying it was a bad movie, for the $15 I paid, it wasn't bad at all.

[slipstrike0159]

where do you "think" you saw the movie you speak of?

[jewpinthethird]

where do you "think" you saw the movie you speak of?

It's a joke since there were so many cinematic scenes and it was so linear, it seemed like a movie.

[nforcer06164]

Why does it seem like so many people on these forums have trouble detecting sarcasm lately? Or is it just n00bs?

[Bahamut-X]

Hah, finally powered up stupid Onion Knight. Got to 182 and missed, couldn't play for awhile. Next time I tried I got it.

[Moogy]

No one cares if you wasted your life dodging 200 lightning bolts in a terrible game.

PS: Laughing scene.

[Bahamut-X]

Moogy's a hardcore gamer.

[Kenzya]

Moogy levels up his penis.

[jewpinthethird]

[XXXsmittyXXX]

yea nemesis was easy.
all u need is a fairly decent party and quick hit with every character. oh and probably final weapons too.
just look at the turn list and every time its his turn to attack summon an aeon
to take the blow.
and use nothing but quick hit cause he will retaliate against nething else xD

[saeran_moon_elf]

I got FFX around last March and after i got a little less than halfway through I stopped because it was boring me to death...I started playing again about a week ago and It's got the same flaw as FFIX; it's too easy. Though FFIX was a lot better in my opinion...but FFX really didn't have an interesting storyline to me, and I'd have to agree with my brother on what he said when I was talking to him over the summer; the only good thing about it is the graphics. I missed the battle system and the characters annoyed me (except for Auron, he's cool). I think VIII beats all but that's just my opinion, I haven't beaten 1-6, but I've played a few of them and I liked what I played.

[Teresa_the_Vampire]

Final Fantasy 10 and 10 2 is a dissapointment to the final fantasy series... :evil:

[180digi]

Started playing this again myself, I'm at the Macalania Forest.

They're all great games but my favorites are 7 through 10..The older ones are good too, but i dont have a tolerance for 16bit or 32 bit games anymore(Chrono Trigger excluded.)

[Zarbon]

I thought that most ofthe finaly fantasies had good storylines. 10's was a little more off than others and 10-2 just finished the story. They were okay.... but I like the older FF games more than new ones.

Yeah pretty much, i think that the creators of the game were more worried about the graphics than anything else. So they probably neglected the story line until 5 days before their deadline and quickly finished it up, but then they realized they didnt do a good job so they made FFX-2.
P.S.- FFIX had the best story line of them all!

[saeran_moon_elf]

Lol, yeah, FFIX had a good storyline, I'll admit. But it was far too easy and had too much dialogue. I liked the characters though, Zidane was awesome...As I said, I'm pretty attached to FFVIII. I loved the characters, all the plot twists, and the storyline blew my mind. My friends are all VII addicts but haven't played VIII, and my brother says I just liked VIII best because it's the first one I played. I'm wondering whether it does have to do with which one you play first...

[FluorescentArmy]

I hated FFX. I just hated everything about it. There were too many cinematics, it took too long to max out your characters, and it just sucked. The good FF games where FFI, FFII, FFVII, and FFIX. One and two because I have both for gameboy and FFI for nintendo. I like FFVII because it was the first final fantasy game I got and It was the first one I beat. It had an awesome storyline and I could follow it without the ," Omgzor I'm not real, let's jump in the huge fire pit!" If Square-Enix would remake that game for Ps3, ps2, xbox/360 I think it would have killer sales. I like FFIX because it was the second one I got, had awesome graphics for its time, I beat it without trouble, and it had an crazy storyline. But FFVII still pwns FFIX. :)

[slipstrike0159]

My friends are all VII addicts but haven't played VIII, and my brother says I just liked VIII best because it's the first one I played. I'm wondering whether it does have to do with which one you play first...
It has everything to do with the first one you play. Thats the only reason I like FFIX the best, because it was my first played and first beaten. Plus, i loved how the story played out, and even how it ended ( i mean, who would have thought that there was a whole 'nother race of people with blonde hair and tails?, plus the crystal place was awesome, good balance of enemies too)

[Zarbon]

I like the FF's with both good gameplay and cinematics. I know lots of FFX cutscenes are long, but tey are kinda good. I mean, look at the first time you see blitzball! That was really cool.

[Moogy]

Whoa, whoa. There are people that played the 3D FFs first?

Damn. No wonder you guys like crappy games.

[Zarbon]

lol I played FF1 and 2 before playing the 3d ones. I like the older ones way better

[XXXsmittyXXX]

FFX to me was all just a huge challenge.
I think when i finished everything in the game i had 250+ hours.
I did manage to beat Neslug and nemesis along with every other monster.
You have to quick hit the helll out of nemesis then sacrifice aeons on Nemesis' turn. For neslug you need wakkas final blitzball and you have to overdrive and match up perfectly so exactly 12 hits land on the slots.
After 12 hits hit him once more and his shell breaks :D
And that chocobo bs was hard but youll eventually get it.
You should def give the 1st ones a go through though.

[glaexeaus]

Err....you know this hasnt been answered for in a few months o_o.

Hard my ass. FF10 is one of the easiest.
Nemesis is easy if you do the aeon trick.
The hardest is probably Greater Sphere. At least because hes so annoying.
And Jumbo Flan is probably the longest boss battle in the game.

FF10 was my first ff I played. I never used to play videogames. Don't blame me.
250+ HOURS?? MY GOD! My file is only 213:23 and I beat it years ago!
Ff10-2 was Okay, but not as good as I would have liked.

Anyone got tips for lightning dodging and the butterfly game? Those are the ONLY THINGS in the game I have not yet done, other than maxing out my Characters. i'm on my way though. 3 people at 255 strenght def. and agility.

[esupin]

My friend loaned me FFX and I finished it in about 40 hrs, 10 of which were probably spent playing blitzball. And then I gave it back.

250 hours?!? The longest I've ever spent on a single play through was Ogre Battle 64(45 hrs).

[Grandiagod]

Esupin, I can never trust you again. 30 hours spent playing the main game is pretty much impossible.

[ckj846]

Beat the game in 60 hours. I got all the aeons and Yuna finished the sphere grid. Too lazy to "train" my people just because it isn't very much fun or necessary at all. Sin was a joke, as was Braska's Final Aeon. Even without Yuna, I still slaughtered. The game is the most unbalanced of the FF's. I played IV first I think, and that is one of my favorites. 2D pwns you all...
O_o

[Grandiagod]

SPRITES FOR THE WIN

[esupin]

Esupin, I can never trust you again. 30 hours spent playing the main game is pretty much impossible.

You might be right, but I can't check anymore because I deleted the file.

[xObserveRx]

uh... the first time i played through ten, i missed pretty much EVERYTHING that was considered extra. I ended up getting to the boss somewhere around 35 to 43 hrs. I had a hell of a time trying to beat the boss- I did it, but it was hard as hell.

[Bahamut-X]

My friend told me he obtained 40 dark matters from beating Nemesis the appropriate number of times...

...without Yojimbo.

[Zarbon]

lol I completed the sphere grid with like everyone cept rikku, I got close with her. I had insane ammounts of hp and all my people hit 99999 and had death strike and stone strike. Their weapons were better than the "Ultimate Weapons" by far! took me around 150 hrs though...

[glaexeaus]

I wonder if you can kill Nemesis without aeons...

[Moogy]

Seeing as people have beaten everything in the game multiple times on LLNSGNSNCNONENNENBB games, yes.

[Farka]

I thought in the beginning Tidus was a little.....gay.


Tidus In Thoughts: zanarkand was destroyed a thousand years ago? That cannot be.....

Tidus Aloud: NO WAY!

The aqua makeing out scene was pretty well sketched though. Except I still ponder how Tidus and his crew can stay underwater for like twenty minutes during blitzball or just movie scenes.

Overall: 7 for the crazy twist at the end. Ooops!

Crazy twist? We knew it was going to happen. We found out, like, halfway through the game.

[Zarbon]

ya, seriously

[Reach]

Esupin, I can never trust you again. 30 hours spent playing the main game is pretty much impossible.

What the **** you can beat this game in like 10 hours. Nice.

But this is coming from someone that has speeded through every ff - most notiably ff4- 4 hours, ff6- 6 hours, ff7- 7 hours, ff9- 10 hours.

It's not like you need to train much in ff10 to beat the game. It's absolutely simple and you can skip through everything. One of the easiest ff's by far to speedrun.

If you want a hard game to speed run - ff7 is probably the hardest. FF4 is really short, 6 is easy to speedrun because of mog charm + ultima abuse , ff8 is stupid because you don't have to train and can beat the game in like 10 hours easily, ff9 you can easily abuse limit glove and get to level 40 in like 5 minutes on disk 1 and blow through the rest of the game, and ff10 is just simple.

Or if you want really hard, do the excalibur 2 quest in ff9 at level 1. :) It's nearly impossible, especially if you waste too much time in the chocobo forest/training up dragon crest/theivery, which is why you don't boost dragon crest and train theivery minimally and use toss - theivery - limit glove instead. Oh and skip the chocobo quest completely, add status is enough. You don't need it unless you want to beat ozma at level 1, even though obviously harder without it, it wastes time and you'll never make it.

XD Ok I'm done.

PS FF10 was pretty good.

[xObserveRx]

... You're doing that as we speak... you're a huge nerd.... :P

[glaexeaus]

Ff4 was WAY too short.

[nforcer06164]

PS FF10 was pretty good.

Finally, someone who agrees with me. I forget where I read it, but FFX has been referred to as Square's "masterpiece" in the past, and I agree.

[Moogy]

Square's masterpiece is Xenogears, if that can really be considered a Square game (almost all of the staff involved with it quit Square).

[jewpinthethird]

Moogy levels up his penis.

Oh man! I cant believe I said this! It's hilarious.

ps. the copy of FFX that I played belonged to Grandiagod...and he needed it back so I couldnt get the final weapons.

[zeor000]

The game is pritty good but the celestial weapons are annoying! all i have is wakka's and yuna's fully upgraded but im half way done on the rest of them

[zeor000]

Also the FFX-2 sux! i dident like it, the story line was too fast pace and i dident understand it so im sorry to thos who liked ffx-2

[ToshX]

:/

[slipstrike0159]

I am tired of hearing about how 'bad' you guys think FFX-2 was. I agree that it wasn't the best one, you should read comments posted here first though...Who knows, you might agree with some of them. http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?t=28841 http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?t=24538 http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?t=28708
You might want to read through the entire thread before flaming me.

FFX was good in certain aspects, like its graphics. FFX-2 was good because it wasnt as serious and it had an ok gameplay setting. FFIX had a good storyline and the characters were funny. FFVII was boring and i think it is way to overrated by the stupid fanboys.
Also, the 0 seconds thing with the chocobo's was one of the easiest, with the lightening bolts being the hardest (not including the monster arena). Every FF game has its own aspect that makes it fun and interesting, and no matter what your opinion may be....all of them were good games with parts of them being debatable.
I always thought it would be hilarious to see Moogy have a fight against Prak (if you clicked my links you would know who im talking about). They have completely opposite opinons and they fight and criticize people the same exact way.

[slipstrike0159]

I wonder if either no one has read my last post, no one cares about this tread or my comments, or if no one has anything to say..

[clocktower]

i have FFX and FFX-2. I beat FFX but i didn't beat FFX-2 because i never really wanted to play it. There both ok games though

[Pumble]

Hell, i ran out of things to say about FFX after two sentences.

Really, it was just okay, nothing really significant or particularly awesome or horrible, just okay.

[180digi]

What makes me rofl is how you're still bickering over this game 4 years after it came out. If you don't like it, play something else. Shut the **** up.

[Moogy]

FFX sucks. FFX-2 sucks. FFIX sucks. FFXI sucks. FFVIII sucks. FFVII sucks. FFI sucks. FFII sucks. FFIII sucks. FFIV sucks. FFV sucks.

[Lightknight924]

Hmm...I wonder what's left lol. Not FFVI.

[Moogy]

FFVI and FFT don't suck.

[slipstrike0159]

FFX sucks. FFX-2 sucks. FFIX sucks. FFXI sucks. FFVIII sucks. FFVII sucks. FFI sucks. FFII sucks. FFIII sucks. FFIV sucks. FFV sucks.
Just wondering....have you even played all of them?

[Benny1]

yes, moogy probably has played all of them.
And yes, I agree with him for the most part, 1 is terrible, 2 is, 3, 4, 5, 7 is pretty bad you realize, it was only good for a first rpg, 8 was maybe the worst game i have ever played, I really hated 9, 10 I like ;/, x-2 was second worst, only to 8, xi I dunno, xii I dunno.
Also, most ff music is terrible.

But whatever, can my thread die now? or will you nto let it yet :<.

[Moogy]

Just wondering....have you even played all of them?
Yes, I have.

I own every SNES, PSX, and PS2 RPG ever released in America. I am not kidding.

The NES ones all suck cock and I played them on an emulator so whatever. I first played FFV on an emulator, then the PSX version. The PSX versions of FFIV-FFVI are basically unplayable, by the way, due to the insane load times. Square couldn't even get a simple port right.

The rest I played on their original consoles.

Also, I've played most of the gay spinoff games as well, like Dirge of Cerberus, Chocobo's Mystical Dungeon, and mother****ing Chocobo Racer.

[StarOceanFanboy]

Hey, I personally enjoyed VIII, X, and X-2. VII was decent, and IX.... well, let's just say it's the worst game I've ever played. The remake of IV is good enough, and Tactics (not advance!) is easily one of the best games I've ever played. Eh, I'm sick of the Final Fantasy series... I doubt I'll pick up XII.

[MalReynolds]

I really liked Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon 2, but that was years ago, simply because I was way into dungeon crawlers and had no money to spend on a decent (HA) one.

[Scorp3]

well i think that ff10 is gonna be on ps3 i saw a preview it rox sox

[ToshX]

Yes, I have.

Does this include MMORPGs on the PS2 like FFXI?

No, I don't own any MMORPGs. They aren't real RPGs anyway.

[nforcer06164]

Um. What.

It's true, the final fantasy series is slightly exaggerated. Mainly because of it's giant base of fanboys, I do enjoy the series though. My favourite is seven, blah blah bitch and flame, but Tactics is easily my second favourite and I've been trying to track down a local copy of the game for over a year and a half now. Tactics Advance blew, how different species got different jobs, way to be gay Square. Chocobo Racer was fun with friends, like Bushido Blade. Cactuar races pwn, so do SS Invincible races. Chocobo Dungeon, I vaguely remember renting the second one, it made baby jesus cry. I think Scorp3 meant FF7, and no, it isn't coming out on PS3. Dirge of Cerberus has been released in NA already Moogy?

No, I don't own any MMORPGs. They aren't real RPGs anyway.
Some games are both RPGs and MMORPGs, eg. Phantasy Star Online can be played and still be entertaining when not playing online. Do those count as MMORPGs?

No, I played the Japanese version. I download the Japanese version and buy the American version for every game I'm interested in now.

[MalReynolds]

As a stupid American consumer that likes action titles (me) how is Dirge of Cerberus? Worth a purchase out the gate, wait for price drop, rental, or what?

[SethSquall]

FFVIII was my fav. Yes i played every other final fantasy game but the spinoffs. FFVII was a good game, however i think most people liked it becuase it was the first mainstream RPG, therfore the first they really playied. Didnt like X really, I F*cking hate Yuna, shes annoys me. X-2 was quite frankly a trainwreck. Charlies angels crossed with the powerpuff girls i though. Cant wait for XII. Although. I playied and completed tactics, and isnt XII set in the same world as tactics, so im worried i might already know half the story, i hope not anyway.

Dirge of Cerberus is really bad. Take any generic console shooter, remove any semblance of control over your character, and add pointless FF7 stuff.

The camera/control is the worst part, really. Graphics are good. The soundtrack is by Masashi Hamauzu, but it's obviously not one of his more... inspired works.

About the Ivalice thing: Ivalice from FFT and Ivalice from FF12 are different. Ivalice in FFT is merely one country, whereas in FF12, it is apparently the entire world. This doesn't mean they can't be the same place (FF12 could be the "lost civilization" of FFT), but they obviously don't take place in the same time period.

The Ivalice from FFTA is a construction from the imagination of kids who have played FF12.

Ouch. Sounds like a rental to me, as long as I'm not paying for it.

Thanks for the heads up.

[Grandiagod]

Thats what I heard from 1u[p.com IT soud ns like it needs a total makeover.

For anybody that thinks Moogy is cracking a cruel joke on FFTA here, he's not kidding. The FFTA world really is an imagined recreation of FFXII, even though it isn't out yet.

I see what you mean, i just hope they dont turn round and say its all a dream or somthing like that.

Edit: I did make a larger post but figured that one sentence is basically all of it narrowed down

[Enigma-7]

FFX-2 is the worst game ever. I got to chapter 2 and quit because it was the worst thing I'd ever played.
Ditto. That was bad.

Although some of the people who complained about FFX being linear should enjoy that game, its non-linear, right?

Bleh. I hate not being told what to do. Unless its something REALLY open-ended like Maplestory in which theres no real goal and you can do whatever you want.

FFX was great though. I like how different situations called for different things so you need to ahve all characters at a nice level. I had Lulu at a really high level on the S grid (At flare)

Then my bro moved out stole the PS2 and my memory card and deleted everything on it before I raped Yu Yevon/Overdrive sin. GOD I GET SO PISSED WHEN I THINK OF THAT.

[scorpio1690]

The only problem with FFX was that the bosses were incredibly easy if you got the secret aeons. The Magus Sisters in particular, and they aren't hard to get anyways so it's an instant win when you have them.

[ckj846]

Magus sisters=99999 damage with regular attack... At least Sandy did. And Mindy with her Passado that did well over 70k damage every time... I owned Yu Yevon in 3 hits, but even without aeons, I still kicked ass. Yuna is a bit useless because I got Lulu to get heal and holy. Aeons are fun, but they really do make the game unbalanced. I like linear games, but they have to have sidequests and plenty of them to keep me entertained.
O_o

I didn't use any character except Yuna, Tidus, and Rikku thoughout the entire game unless I was forced to, making them extremely low levelled, and still easily beat the game.

[scorpio1690]

Ew. How could you use Rikku and Yuna? Yuna ya, mainly for the Aeons, but Rikku? My main ones were Tidus, Lulu, Auron. I gave Lulu some white magic, and Auron, well he's just a hardcore pimp.

I hate yuna, i just hated her character, i thought she was so annoying. People always leave the thief class people. Rikku ruled i recon, she was untouchable and her overdrives were awesome if you know how to use it properly. I didnt have a certian party. Depending on the battle situation i would use a different party

Because right into less than an hour into the game I found a weapon with 3 very painful status inflictions.

Now she has 4 major status inflictions on her weapon. Stonestrike, zombiestrike, and two others I forgot. I can kill a lot of monsters in the friggin' Omega Ruins with Stonestrike so no one can say it's useless after a certain point in the game :P

[SethSquall]

If you follow the right paths in the grid, all of the characters have valid use in the game. Im trying to explain this to a mate, no matter how hard i try, he takes yuna down aurons path. He doesnt understand that yuna's basically white mage class. Not one hell of a tank.

[scorpio1690]

Ahahaha, Yuna down Auron's path? I... Guess that could somehow work in some... Messed up way. That's a waste of time though because her weapons are really "made" to hit things. A big ass sword on the other hand is MEANT for hitting things.

I just gave Auron a sword with stone strike, so if it doesn't work 100%, it'll still do an ass load of damage.

They should have given Lulu the aeons =(

I always laugh when i see her run up and with a feeble swing, the monster seems to get hit back, even though she did like 12 damage, on the other hand when auron runs up "farewell" you know that its gunna smart
