Final Fantasy Retrospective

[Kim]

I just don't think zidane is that great of a protagonist/party leader in FF9 to make the game very fun to play for me. To me, Vivi is the best thing FF9 has to offer, and I hope he is brought back in later cartoony titles. FF9 goes back to 3 digit hit points, uses the card game battle that FF8 has (which is pretty cool), and goes back to the old jobs that were used in the earlier releases of FF.

If 7 and 8 didn't make the games the way they did, making their party leader the most intriguing character in the story as well as making them look cool, I'd probably look at 9 in a different light. But it looks like SE has set their goal of making the party leader also the most fascinating character with X, XII, XIII, which I didn't feel did it for me in 9.

Final Fantasy 9's supporting cast was more interesting than the lead, which I liked a lot.

Yeaaaa I've never played a Final Fantasy game.

But I know what it is! :sorcerer:

the cool thing is that your leader was a thief, but was still a powerful character. Tidal Flame makes people go boom boom.

7 ftw

Nice find. FFIX is easily the best.

I like how you just throw that opinionated statement out like that. Do you expect everyoen to just drop everything and agree?

Anyway, Kim, come play FFXI. I have about 5mil sitting on a mule for you, and mithras awaiting your arrival.

i gotta say i was disapointed by the latest Retrospective. Thought not enough covered The death (first real major death, it was all over the internet, etc) and not enough on the big boy Seph. Kefka got a bit o the spotlight (rightfully so) had hoped seph got the same, as it's either or for the best bad guy in the series.

I finally found a working FFIII Rom. Only one I haven't played the hell out of. Cecil anyone? That was the first I played FFII. It'll always be my favourite due to nostalgia. The only one I dont own is FFXI. Don't know if I want it.

My others favourites, are definatly FFVII, FFVIII, and FFXII. I was really happy with FFXII, Vaan being a theif main character. That was also something I liked about FFX. FFX-2 and FFVII-2, were damn jokes to me. FFX-2 was just an excuse to try and whore out some hentai for little kids that liked to jack off to Rikku pics, and FF7-2, should of been alot bigger. With FFVII argueably being the best ever made, I really had high expectations and was let down.

Knockers jacks off to rikku pics, pass it on!


On a fun sidenote, i bought 1 and 2 for the PSP, and just played 1, and it was a lot of fun, if not horribly easy (they nerfed it something fierce). Bonus dungeons in it, and in one you get to fight the 4 fiends from 4 (Rubicante, etc) which was cool. Even had there music

afk looking for yuna pics

[Capital Knockers]

Well Nick, I dont know whats worse. If I actually did jack off you Rikku pics, or the fact that your finding them for me and pming me them :P

Hear that kids, Nickname's the hentai pimp! But your right, I can't say you never gave me nothing.

I'd like to try the PSP ones, but I don't like PSP. I've lost interest in handhelds and fancy cellphones. I'm just going to wait until they make 'THE ONE' that everyone has, and it's so cheap, and etc etc.

FUN FACT 1: I bought a PSP, and played both the first one and am now doing the second one. There decently cool, but i'd save the money i ploped on a psp, memory card, case, etc.

FUN FACT 2: Rikku was fully clothed, don't make me out to be a pimp

FUN FACT 3: If anybody wants to have sex with Knockers, it's 50 bucks. Flat fee, but he'll still rock your world.

[WuTang420]

II was best cause you could go to the moon, they should have kept that concept going with other planets/worlds


and i guess 3 had the floating continent but thet was more a dungeon. i liked the post-doom map too, i remember how creepy it was when first walking around in all the dead towns. kinda similar but everything was destroyed, awesome idea



therefor II and III get my vote

[Squeezer]

My personal favorite of the Final Fantasy series was FFIX. I liked it because every character had a designated purpose (Dagger was White Magic, Vivi did Black, Steiner was physical attacks etc. etc.) With FF VII, you picked characters that looked cool, not necessarily based on optimization and strategic value.

In FFVII, anyone could do anything because of materia, thus none of the characters were really that unique. In FFVIII, all I did was use GF's, so the game got repetitive real fast for me.

Plus I really enjoyed FFIX's storyline (at least much more than FFVIII or FFX).

Just for clarification, that was a VIP rate reserved for you and few others Nick, now you're going to have to pay full price - and you can't afford that shit bro. Back to the 12 year old asian whores for you :wub:

And do you really call that FULLY clothed? :P
