I'm enjoying it.

It's actually a tad challenging, which is a plus. I really like the whole gambit setup.

Also, it plays and feels kind of like a MMORPG, except with less limited gameplay and no dependence on complete strangers that turn out to be idiots (the gambits actually end up making your party members smarter than most other players in a MMO).

The story is decent so far, certainly one of the better stories in the series.

Of course, that's after about six hours of gametime.

Truck me

Happy reading!

The story seems to be coming to a head now.
I'll be glad to finish this

Anybody know if saves from the leaked version work with the retail one, as I want to buy a legit copy, but am worried my file won't work with it

While I have Reddas in my party and the motherfuckin' airship, I've decided to use this to my advantage and pick up some Espers.
Just owned Zeromus

The dungeon you're about to approach is long as shit, but is essentially the final dungeon.

Anything you suggest I do in the game before heading there then?

Posted: Sat Nov 04, 2006 7:05 pm Post subject:

I don't know what you're going for, so no. Just go there, beat it, and beat the game.

I just beat the game today, just to see the ending.

This is pretty much the best ff ending ever btw. The entire ending sequence just makes you shiver at just how awesome it is.

No FF before this one has made me just think "Wow this ending is magnificent and makes me want 2 cum", and the only one that came close before is FF8. This time, it's in a completely different vein, and just a really really good ending to an otherwise mediocre story that left much to be desired.

I might get aroundto finishing it myself tonight

Yeah I don't agree with Garbo. He's pretty much a gay.

gj Sephira, you watched the ending.

I said ending sequence, that is, everything from the moment you enter the "final" dungeon to the end.

EDIT: Also, given that you haven't bothered to play the game, you also haven't developed any sort of connection to the characters.

Someone could tell me that something like Suikoden has an omg awesome ending, and I could just go ahead and watch the ending cutscene and it would still mean absolute shit to me.

[11:54] <Garbo> You know what
[11:54] <Garbo> how cool would it have been
[11:54] <Garbo> if at some point
[11:54] <Garbo> you just stumble across a guy
[11:54] <Garbo> who's like
[11:54] <Garbo> sup
[11:54] <Garbo> let me fite with u
[11:55] <Garbo> for no reason
[11:55] <Garbo> most people have forgotten me now but back in my day I was known as Thunder God Cid.
[11:55] <Doom> i think there's a game called chrono cross you should look into
[11:55] <Doom> oh
[11:55] <Garbo> and then the collective exploding of every fft game ever
[11:55] <Garbo> gamer
[11:56] <Doom>

[11:56] <Garbo> I really would like to see what the character designers could've come up with though
[11:56] <Doom> old dalan is tg cid
[11:56] <Garbo> I pretty much love the character design of every character in this game except vaan
[11:56] <Garbo> It could've just been
[11:56] <Garbo> Reddas beard on Marquis Ondore's face
[11:57] <Garbo> in a Jedi outfit
[11:57] <Garbo> and u'd have tgcid

I think you should stop playing the game. You've already ruined the ending for yourself, and there are some points in the game where even someone who enjoys the gameplay will experience severe burnout because of its length and tedium. I'll save you the time and effort by letting you know this, because you're going to be wasting a lot of it by getting to about halfway through the game and then just never picking it up again at that particular point.

So I was just wondering why so many people hated Tidus?

Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2006 9:29 pm Post subject:

I don't .... but I can see why. He's kind of a whiny bitch.

I jsut dont see why you say that... Tidus was the man!

Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2006 10:11 pm Post subject:

No, no he was not.

Tidus is the easily the most despicable protagonist ever in the Final Fantasy series, maybe in all of video games.

Yes, worse than Butz.
