Final Fantasy general

Go To

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?

It's in the same place, but it's a different minigame than the one with the doppel doll. They move around and you have to remember which one is which.

We have an ongoing project in wiki talk to implement a badge system for extra fun. And one of the badges created is.....

Ta da!

Hey, pretty cool. How long did it take you to make that, lu?

I didn't make it. I asked Shima, who is a computer graphics major and in charge of the badge shop to make it. And it's cool!

You'll have to buy badges in sets. Probably sets of five, I think. The project is still in preparation though.

You can make badges yourselves and present them, or give out ideas about new ones.

So, XIII. Fang, Snow and Sazh. Level 5 Sentinels. No accessories. No other pradigms. Vs final Superpope.

...

...

Superpope wins. Only because of Doom though - besides the ~160k I did from Bahamut when I was in a bad situation for the lulz, I got him down to 4,741,721 HP though. I think I would have done a lot better if the other AI Sentinels did Vendetta/Entrench, but then Snow wouldn't have been as fucking immortal as he was - seriously, he never entered critical, and was almost always near top health

Holy Grail, huh? Cool story, bro.

[up][up] Indeed. Definitely sounds cool. I take it when you say "buy", a form of "currency" other than money is involved?

[up] I'll definitely have to try that.

[up] Yeah, it was definitely amusing, if a little boring waiting at times. I tried all Saboteur with Lightning, Hope and Vanille, but once all the debuffs are up you can only cast Death, and you can't tank him at all.

It's more like trading money (paypal, credit card, maybe bitcoins) for badges. Still don't know the exact prices, but hopefully, they'll be cheap.

The site doesn't run on thin air, so we have to generate revenue, since the forums cost much more than they bring in. Nobody's forcing to buy anything.

Maybe they're keeping it as a surprise? If not, Tokyo Game Show is the last chance this game has to prove to me its not vapourware. Otherwise I'm simply not going to care.

Oh please, what has this site ever did for me?

Except for providing me plenty of entertainment.

And introducing me to many new series.

And got me an A on an essay before.

Okay fine, I'll buy one. Eventually.

I think I'm going to restart Final Fantasy The 4 Heroes Of Light. I don't know where I left off, but I do know that wherever it was made my ragequit hard. So I'll start a new file and see what happens.

I won't be losing too much progress, though. I know I hadn't even gotten far enough to see the whole team reunited.

I just did the "I'M CAPTAIN BASCH FON RONSENBERG OF DALMASCA!" thing in FFXII. I haven't been that amused by a minigame since selling balloons in a moogle suit in X-2.

You know, between that and the laughing scene from X, I've learned never to take the memeification of a scene at face value.

I actually liked how that whole sequence only really advanced if you testified in front of certain people, and it turned out that they were part of a secret organization.
