Because Kinkajou told me to.

So yeah, anything about Final Fantasy! I guess this would make a good starting point: Which are your favorite games in the series and why?

My two all-time favorites are tied between Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy IX. They're both very fun games that don't take themselves too seriously while still being legitimately emotional. On top of that, Zidane is my favorite Final Fantasy lead in the entire series. He's light-hearted, fun, and a generally nice guy to be around. FFV also has the advantage of having one of, if not the best, Job System in an FF game. Both FFV and FFIX make characters customizable while keeping them all unique in their own way. I'm also very fond of Final Fantasy I; it hasn't aged well, but it's classic, and like FFV, I played it tons as a kid.

I assume we'll drift around to various other FF-related discussions as the topic grows, right?

No, Xiph, if I were Rikku I would wear one of her badass dresspheres, like Samurai or Dark Knight.

The next XIII-2 DLC battle has been revealed to be... (XIII-2) Snow and The Arbiter of Time?

Okay, some more info, Apparently Snow joins you in this fight, and you fight against the true form of the Arbiter of Time, Valfodr.

Scans.

About time. Sazh popped up once in the entire game outside of the ending sequences, whereas Snow going to the colliseum was hinted at several times.

Doesn't excuse lack of Raines of Superpope though.

Though given the fact that your fighting The Arbiter of Time this may be the final colosseum battle...

And the Valfodr looks completely stupid, btw. Looks like they ripped the face from a survival horror game, got Odin drunk and upside down and glued the face to his neck. And a machine gun.

... Seems like a normal Final Fantasy end boss then :3

At the risk of reposting this, here's someone fighting Gilgamesh in English.

I love the line when he switches to swords.

Hey, John Dimaggio's back as Gilgamesh! Guess he didn't voice him in 012 because of scheduling conflicts or something.

[up]x3 Valfodr is actually just one of Odin's many other names in Norse mythology.

Another one is Alfodr.... Odin is bad at names.

Yeah, it's a bit disappointing that we didn't get Jake The Gilgamesh in Dissidia, but the guy who did voice him did a great job of it, too.

Yeah, I liked Keith Szarabajka's portrayal as well. Both VAs did a fine job.

It turns out that Snow and Valfodr aren't just DLC battles,

Its actually Snow's DLC scenario that they are teasing. It will be released on May 15.

Okay.

Been playing through FFX. I'm still pretty early into the game, so keep in mind that my opinions are subject to change, but one thing that really irks me about this game is the characters.

Characters I like:

  • Lulu
  • Kimahri

Characters I want to strangle:

  • Tidus
  • WAKKA

Characters I'm on the fence about:

  • Rikku
  • Yuna

This wouldn't be a big deal, except for this part:

Characters that talk the most:

  • Tidus
  • FUCKING WAKKA
  • Yuna (who doesn't seem to have much of a personality yet, so it does little to ease the pain of the former two)

I honestly liked Wakka (heck, the only party member I was indifferent to was Kimahri), but you should know that Tidus does slowly mature over the course of the game.

I'll take your word for it.

I can't stop staring at Wakka's hair. It looks like it's trying to escape or something. I mean, I know this is a JRPG, but...
