I thought you had started to like the game again?

8-10 hours walking a straight path isn't that bad, 30 hours however...

I can see that being a problem. Hopefully FFV will be more open.

I need help, you guys.

I don't know how to kill a boss, I can't remember what it was but it was in that place where you run around with Lightning and Hope.

Let me describe it, it constantly changes its weakness elemental wise. And it looks like- Urghhh I don't know but it deals huge physical damage :{{

If you still need help, I just defeated him and got 5 stars. Here's my strategy:

Paradigms:

You need 3 sets,
{Medic -- Synergist}
{Commando -- Ravager}
{Commando -- Medic}

First use {Medic -- Synergist}, until Hope used protect and shell on everybody. Use cure with Lightning if necessary.
Then keep switching between {Commando -- Ravager} and {Commando -- Medic} (switch if your health is yellow). Also use potions with Lightning if necessary. Just spam the attack command with Lightning. You don't need to use magic with her, it will only make this battle more complicated. If you still want to though, use libra to see it's weaknessess and change the Commando's in my strategy to Ravager's.

My equipment:

Lightning: Gladius Lv. 4, Power Wristband Lv. 3, Tungsten Bangle Lv. 2. (You can buy both accessories in the store)
Hope: Hawkeye Lv. 5, Silver Bangle Lv. 1, Tungsten Bangle Lv. 1.

I just defeated that boss thanks to this Strategy. Five Stars <3 I'm so proud of myself, I didn't think I'd defeat this boss
let alone get 5 Stars ;_;

For next timers, I'm asking Thom to help me. Thanks so much Thomy-Whomy, you helped me a great deal. Now I just want to continue the game

So...I'm pretty new to the Final Fantasy games, and I have the option to play two of them.

Should I start with Final Fantasy Tactics or Final Fantasy VIII?

Depends on what kind of games you're used to. I personally started with Tactics Advance and went on to play VII.

Out of those two, FFVIII. Haven't played tactics myself but it is very different from the main series.

^ Alright, I'm gonna start with VIII then. Thanks you two

Enjoy the game . And ask questions or advice at any time. It's my favorite gaming series so I'm glad to help.

Alright thank you.

I liked them all the way up to Final Fantasy X. X-2 was alright. But 13.... was not a FF game, I'm sorry. Neither was 13-2. And now they are working on Versus 13 and it has a FPS mode? What the hell happened to FF....?

Its the same that happened to capcom they lost half of the staff that actually made good games and as a result all we have are crappy games that are too linear(ff13 never played it never will) RE5 (seriously....massive disappointment) the last decent FF I played was I think X-2 I bought 12 but it still lies in one of my boxes un-played(think i've put a few hours in and nothing more) its all this trying to cater to casual gamers that only have a 10 second memory span that can only fathom angry birds...

I wouldn't call the FF games after FFX crappy. Sure, they're not as magical and memorable as they used to be, but they are still good games. FFX-2 might have the worst story ever in a video game and some fucked up characters, they made up for that with great gameplay. XII is a very good and big game with lots of content and great battle mechanics. XIII has it's moments, although the game gets really damn boring halfway. I've never played XI and XIII-2 so can't judge.

basically if you have played 12 you've played 11 since the battle mechanics were just copied and pasted bloody blue lines indeed =P the truth is nowadays games are serious business its all about money and not about fun back in the day its was about making something unique now its the same thing copied and pasted a million times... Roll on 13 VS that's all i'm saying.

We another 16 bit FF.



The Mega Man 9 treatment. That would make my life.

I couldn't have said it better myself. I dont even really play many new games. I have a PS3, a Wii, and a 360 and dont play any of them often. There are a few games I love like God of War, Alan Wake, and the Zelda series. As previously stated, I used to like Final Fantasy up to X-2. After that they started sucking bad. And RE4 was pretty good, RE5 was not even an RE game. Reminded me a Gears of War more than RE really. RE6 "looks" nice (graphics wise) but I am not even 100% sure if I am gonna buy it. I probably will just wait until its out for a few months and read up on some reviews before I do. You gotta have more than just graphics to make me buy it. RE is getting way too easy and less and less survival horror. I'd play Alan Wake over RE nowadays ANY time.

All the FFXII hate everywhere -_- I thought it was a great game. If there's one FF game crap imo, it's X-2. Still liked it.

When I was very young, perhaps 12 or so, I recall playing some SNES games on my old computer my grandma got me. But I could not play that now. The only thing turn based I will play are games like Total war. Waiting for a bar to full up is exceedingly archaic and I can't believe anyone enjoys that. Of course I am not a fan of thousands of points of health and magic and many levels. I recently have put about 30 minutes into the Crystal Chronicle games emulated on my puter. I like them so far, but I simply can't play traditional final fantasy anymore. Also, I don't much care for mixing all sorts of magic and technology together. It feels awkward and inauthentic. Granted, all rpgs are unrealistic. But I prefer a completely medieval game, not a mix of sci fi, steam punk, and whatnot.

You can find that poster in Ptichard's office too when your in the Serif Industries Building(really need to complete DXHR)

Anyone bought the re-release of FF7 on PC yet?

Nah, I'm content with my PS1 version


Have some more FF trivia.
