Final Fantasy Hacktics

I get it.  I do... And because I actually played, and beat a game as terrible as the other two on my list, I should probably go back, and play it seriously setting aside the unnerving gawd awful sound.  In the time I played it the sound was what made me quit...  I can deal with old graphics, and even bad graphics.   It's hard for me to get past bad sound.  Sound is what will make or break a game I'm playing.  I don't know why this happens to be my picky point, but it is...


Lolwut?  What is wrong with you kid?   It's 100% the only Final Fantasy that doesn't suck in one way, or another.  Even 7 has it's drawbacks (Materia lvled way too slow).   This game is -only- broken if you make it such.  The same can be said of all Final Fantasy.  I've seen that as one of the appeals of the franchise, that the more you train, the more you see a difficulty decrease.  It's a very rewarding system.  I see the difficulty in this game set to the will of the user.  It's up to you how intense you want your gameplay to be depending on how you train/abuse mechanics.   I mean, if you really want to be dumb, you can de-level, and relevel as Ninja's until your base speed is 50 and you take like six turns before any enemy.    Calling a game unbalanced due to your actions doesn't really fit.  If you just leveled via story, and the occasional random battle, the game is quite challenging... And I wish you good luck during the final Wiegraf battle...  Cuz the game can be punishing as hell if you neglect training...

These are, heh, nice opinions, for a clown. Play a real RPG, like the Elder Scrolls or Mass Effect.

For the record, EmmaNigma is a veeeeery old friend of mine, and she posted this as a joke. Kinda sad that it took this long for someone to reply, and they thought it was a serious post. Oh well...

I am literally shakeing

Final Fantasy Tactics. It's a game so horribly broken, so unbalanced, and so poorly made that it requires an extensive modding community to make it good, often times rewriting its entire story and characters. This is good, because the plot makes no sense, and is poorly translated The characters are not engaging. Oh, cool, a character that could have a kinda cool plotline? As soon as you get them in the party, they're just generics with an exclusive job. Great character idea, idiots. Don't understand the love for this game. It's not even Final Fantasy.

Okay, I need to set one thing straight. Grandia is pretty standard through the first disc. Nothing really special, just ordinary JRPG fare that's all a bit one dimensional. It's the SECOND disc where everything explodes and goes topsy-turvy and it becomes the masterpiece everybody says it is. Because it is a masterpiece. I'll forgive you for not finishing it, but I won't let you call it awful without finishing it. Seriously, anybody who's played through the game will tell you this.

As an aside, despite having Grandia for freaking years, I bought and played Grandia II on Dreamcast loooooooong before getting around to the first game. Which is to say, I made Xifanie play it for me, since she had such praise for it. I really liked Grandia II until she showed me how much better the first game was.

Edit: My Stockholm Syndrome for FFXIII aside, I say XIII-2 is pretty fucking godawful, but Lightning Returns is actually fun to play. I expected to hate it even more than I do Majora's Mask, given the similar time limit mechanic, but it really is fun. A damn sight better than XIII-2, at least.

maybe grandia should swap first discs with Xenogears

Valk, that glitch effect is fucking radical to the max. I love it. Is it reproducable? Is it modifiable? Definitely cool to show off, thank you. Graphical glitches are my favorite things about games, and this (and xifi's example) are awesome

I actually am not that excited. MGS3 was the pinnacle of the series for me because it was goofy, sometimes absurd, with a linear plot and a great balance between stealth and action. This game seems way too serious, with a seemingly solitary focus on stealth. I am tentatively not interested in it, except the fact that it's a MGS game that won't feature nanotechnology and stupid plots.

I still don't see how this has anything to do with North Korea... maybe I'm just slow o.o'

Because the US gov't and citizens criticize and chastise North Korea for being a fascist police state, when examples of said fascism exist in the US and go largely unnoticed by major news organizations.

Post reported. Please stand still until agents arrive. Nothing is wrong, everything is fine.

I just plain don't like Those Who Are Shining.

Blue Water, Blue Sky

Blue Water, Blue Sky

Blue Sky, Blue Water

I'm voting Also Sprach Brooks. Clash on the Big Bridge is a classic, but overplayed.

I can't stand Fallen Angel, so my vote goes to Beat the Angel

Blue Water, Blue Sky.

Road of Trials is really good, but I like the action of BWBS.

voating also sprach brooks

The stream was a whole lot of fun! Thanks for hosting, st4r. Looking forward to next year.

Casting my vote for The Thing

Isn't Rose Red something like 5 hours long? That's a bit long for my tastes, but then, I have absolutely no clue what my Halloween is going to be like yet.

Do you know the Muffin Man?

no a pimp is a horrible person who forces the prostitute out and takes a cut of their money. A gigolo is a male prostitute.
