Alex is a nerd
 

Geez I love Final Fantasy's.
Greatest games ever, undisputable. All you Halo fanboys can shut up.
I am so f*cking excited for FFXII to come out on Oct. 31. I'm shelling out the $90 for the collectors edition game and guide.

So, MB FF nerds, what is your favorite FF?
Mine is a tie between 10 and 7. 10 was the first one with beautiful graphics and such, it had an intricate story. It wasn't as open as the others sincve they got rid of the world map feature, but I think the aspect of voice actors and great graphics enhanced the gameplay for me. 7 is just the classic FF game, okay graphics, but the storyline was so interesting that it made it so much better. Plus, this game was customizable to no end. There were so many summons and magic spells, all that stuff that makes an FF game good.

Biggest dissapointments for me were FFVIII and FFX-2.
I think that the whole idea of a sequel was cool, considering the ending to FFX needed a little more explaination, but they disgraced the game by making a Charlies Angels-esque sequel with girl power and all that bullsh*t, huge dissapointment. As for FFVIII, maybe I am biased since I had a bad experience with the game (I flew to one of the snow islands, got a chocobo, walked across the ocean to a nearby snow island, and ditched my chocobo. Little did I know that there was no chocobo forset on this island, and I saved the game and alas, I was stuck on the snow island with no way to get off. That was lame. Plus, I had been on the final castle with Ultemeicia and I erased my game. I had too many experiences with having to go back and re-play it due to lost files) but it was not nearly as good as IX. It was all based around school and stuff, just not that good.

:o:

I feel like a huge nerd, anyway. What are your favorites and biggest dissapointments?

10. and **** you losers who say that its the worst one

I have over 400 hours on my 10 file.
I think I lent my memory card to moses just so he could witness the greatness that was my file.
I had all my strength and everything maxed out.
I captured EVERY MONSTER, from EVERY AREA, 10 TIMES!
That is an amazing acomplishment, you would know if you played the game.

Doing that unlocked the ultimate side boss, Nemesis, who I have yet to beat.

But seriously, imagine how hard it was for me to capture 10 cactuars, or 10 King Tonberrys in the Omega Ruins. That was a bitch, with those crappy capture swords. Sucked.

Oh yeah, I'm a nerd.

EDIT: or the hardest to capture of all, GREAT MARLBOROS. That was horrible. Cactuars and Tonberrys are so rare too, it took like 1 hour to encounter even one of them. That is what ranked up my hours.

FF6 is the best one.

That and FF8.

i just started playing, again, after a couple years of other, more violent games. this is what i am working on. it takes FOREVER

Nemesis is a bitch to beat too. I have his attack pattern memorized and I still can't beat him.

:cool:

what level are your guys at? rikku is worthless i hate her.

In what game? They eliminated the whole idea of levels from 10. But I have all my stats maxed at 255.

thats what i meant, your stats.

I actually use Rikku quite a lot. She's no good at hand to hand but if you have the right supplies its ace. I normally have Tidus and Auron for attacking. Lulu for elemental, effective magic. And then Rikku for indirect attacks like throwing bombs at flying monsters.

Anyway, my favorite is X. Second is VIII. Third would be a tie between X-2 and IX. I still havent gotten my hands on a copy of VII, though I'm really trying.

I like playing IX for the music most. I even bought the soundtrack. Its just so well put together. X has good music as well.

I think the relationships between Squall and Rinoa in VIII and Tidus and Yuna is X are very touching. Zidane and Garnet was somewhat an immature romance.

And my favorite bad guys are Seifer and Kuja because they were so damn cocky.

Oh geez, as far as villians go, Sephiroth doesn't even have any competition. He is easily the baddest villian in any game.

anyways, i totally agree with you about x-2.what a waste of $50. im not a big fan of real-time battles. i like to be able to sit and strategize about my next move, when im in big battles, and i cant do that in real-time. also, what the hell were they thinking with the battle costumes?? ****ing stoooopid. im very excited about the new one coming out, though. i have high expectations and theyd better be met.

Like I said, still havent been able to play anything before VIII.

I did hate the dress spheres, but I REALLY liked the freedom of choosing where to go at any time. And the story was pretty good.

Sephiroth is from 7. Get it, he owns.
As for XII, it will be amazing, no doubt.

Its taken them like 3 years to make it, it better be good.

i use auron, yuna and wakka as my main guys.

My party is Lulu, Yuna, and Tidus.
I did it this way because they have their stats maxed, and I'm desperatly trying to beat Nemesis.

i never use lulu and tidus. i focused all my attention on yuna, auron and wakka and just kind of forgot about the others. so ive got my super team and then use the others to take the fall when i know i cant avoid a huge hit.

My Lulu hits harder, with her little doll thingy, she hits for more damage than Auron. :o:

I usually end up using Yuna, Rikku and Lulu for me. . . .
Needless to say my team is not the best. . . .

Have only ever played 8. It was okay, pretty fun when things started to develop. I personally hate the actual stories, and it drags on from what I've seen of 10.

Some people I know say 7 was the best ever. Something about having the best system for strategy or something.

Other then that I try to stay away from them so as not to spend my life addicted to them!

Yeah man, they are addicting.
8 sucks hard IMO, maybe you're biased since thats all you played.

8 is probably one of the best ff games. the octopus thing at the end. plus it's more challenging than all the others.

FF8 >>> all other ff games (except 6, 10 and 2)

The battle system for 8 sucked. And the story was a little messed up. Only thing I still play for is Squall and Rinoa.


And, according to the Square Enix site, FFXII has real-time battles and summons, and the graphics look really sweet.

FFX was so easy
though thats the only one ive played
..though they did look like faeries, cept for the giant sword guy.
could have done w/o the long cinematics.

It really was the easiest IMO. At least with IX the final stages with all the damn beasts was a challange.

i really like sidequests. thats probly why i like ffx so much

I blew through all the side quests. I hate them.

plus simon was a hxc pussy

There is no way you blew through the sidequests.
You have captured 10 of every fied in the entire game? And you blew through it? Bull.

^ I mean "blow through" like didnt give a damn and didnt do them

Wha?!
The sidequests in 10 are the best.

I loved maxing out everyones ultimate weapon.

I've finished 7, basically finished 10 just really never bothered to ACTUALLY do everything coz I ****ed it up. 7 is by far the best story line, and I'm waiting for my friend to give me back my number 8 coz I wanna finish that. I'm currently playing Kingdom Hearts, after I finish that I finish Legend of Dragoon and then I buy KH2:D

Is XII coming out on PS2?

Yes.

P.S Kimahri is a worthless piece of sh*t

Agreed.

"Kimahri mighty Ronso"
BAHAHAHHA

Kimahri can't even speak the english launguage, he's worst that 50 cent!

I liked Kuja for some reasons. Silver hair rocks. He was all nonchalant and ****y about everything. And his trance state was pretty damn cool.
