I'm sure there's tonnes of fans of Final Fantasy here.
FF7 - THE!!! best game ever made. Bar bloody none!
FF8 - I havent beaten it yet...last time I played it was 5 years ago...got bored at FH and never turned it on again, so I'm starting from scratch now......so no spoilers please ;) It's still good but obviously doesn't compare to FF7. I'm at Galbadia Prison now though...
FF9 - Shνte.... :P
FF10 - I've got it in the house, I havent got round to playing it yet but I'll start on it once i've clocked FF8...sane goes with X-2 as well, havent bought it though...will do soon enough!
FF11 - It's online isnt it? I don't know much about it though.
I've never played any of the previous FF's apart from 1, but that was on ROM. Any other FF fans wanna step upto the stage? :)
-
FF VII Is a truly amazing game...i just LOVED Sephiroth, and the Shinra theme tune :P Anyone manage to kill Ruby weapon?
FF VIII was ok i guess...found this game REALLY easy...Seifer looked brill...as did Squall
FF 9 was ok i guess...the characters were dodgy and the story was a bit cack, but I enjoyed playing...
FF X, really couldn't get into this...and Blitzball sucks :P
Not played X-2
I think 11 is available online for pc yeah...but my computer couldn't cope...NOW it can...watch this space
-
I played FF7 years ago, and I wasn't very good at it.. but it's a brilliant game, and it's universally accepted as the best so I'll go with that ^_^ 9 is my favourite though. I know it's not very popular but I really enjoy playing it, I never get bored of it :) I don't like X or X-2 at all. X is boring, it's like 80% movies/dialogue 20% gameplay, I found that annoying, lol. I'm playing Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II on my friend's GameBoy at the moment.. SO old but so magical :D
-
w00t! finalfantasyage! I love it....admittedly, the only one i *really* got into/completed was FF7, as i didnt buy any of the others but i've played bits and pieces of them at friends houses.
I love FF7....just.....everything, its so genius! bring on advent children!
The music is brilliant as well....i'll always remember this one time playing it really stoned and just.......the fight music got so intense.....i couldnt handle it....lol. Good times.
Also, everyone in ff7 is buff......cloud is buff.....tifa is buff....vincent is buff.....zack is buff....yuffie is buff....aeris needs to die....reno is buff....zack is buff....sephiroth....buffbuffbuff
-
Oh oh I can't wait to see Advent Children! Cloud looks great! And Sephiroth is very cool... didn't they take down the website with pics on it because of copyright, or something?
-
Sephiroth IS the man! Did anyone else laugh when Sephiroth owned the flibble out of Aeris? The music is amazing...i remember when I first got it years ago I was scared to death of the Sephiroth theme...especially at the Nibelheim flashback at Kalm when oul Sephy burned Nibelheim..
Wasn't Advent Children meant to be released in like...March? What happened there...? Oi Shadowfax, you forgot Rufus Shinra....what a legend he was...ginger twirp. Apparently he's NOT dead, and he's in Advent Children, should be fun, he was my favourite non-playble character, apart from the Sephmeister himself.
FF7...where do I start and how do I end....amazing 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
-
LOL, yeah i thought it was great, spill her guts with his HUGE blade :P
I was really excited when i got Vincent :P
-
im in love with him.
-
Yeah Vincent rocked. Especially all the mini-storylines surrounding him too. But getting him was a pain in the arse. Lostnumber is hard as hell when you try and defeat him first time. Many people wait until the second disc (ie after City of the Ancients) to get him.
-
Did u kill Ruby Weapon?
-
I did not no...I haven't played FF7 since last summer, and I've still got the file where Im about to defeat Sephiroth (i'm no where near ready though...I'm only level 50-something...) maybe now is a good time to do it... :)
-
My hp was 9999, a was my magic, but the SOB STILL killed me :(
Killed Emerald and Ultima weapon though...really easy, had more problems from the GIANT cactuar :P
-
Ultima weapon is piss....Emerald...I havent defeated him either....
-
Red 13 kinda got on my nerves...stupid creature things!
But the good old Choccobo's...so handy when on the world map!
-
I hated that ganch dog. I so wanted Cid to shove that spear up his arse.
-
out of intrest did any of you ever get yuffie to go a date with cloud? My friend told me that if you're really mean to the other two girls you can do it....
-
Yeah, because after completing, i bought the Official Guide :P
-
and i'm proud of you son.
-
I'm playin' through 7 again cuz I haven't played it in yonks really. It's getting on my nerves, the start of the game is so bloody boring, I'm about to go into Gongaga.
8, great game, love it, played it loads of times, second best in the series apart from 7. I don't comment much on the pre-Playstation games because I never really got into them. I like how in the newer games it is much easier to identify with the characters, a good story isn't the only good aspect a final fantasy game should have :) Even though I enjoyed 6 but my character got stuck on a glitch in the map and I just didn't play it again.
9 was decent, right, not brilliant, and playing it was so bloody slow you could have went to the local for a pint and come back before you attatcked the enemy. 10 was good and X-2 was just a fun game to play, really enjoyed it.
The online game, Final Fantasy 11, it's really good if you want to pay for it monthly. I do, but I haven't played it in ages because I don't get the time, going back onto it this week (since I'm not gonna pay for the game and not play it). It's huge, a real huge game. It takes about an hour to run from one major city to the next, and the enemies are insanely hard. You usually need a higher level to hand walk you through some of the maps incase you get chased.
To get Yuffie on a date, you have to not talk to anyone else when you get a choice. Don't talk to Aeris Tifa or Barret when you can move, and answer everything negativly.
You can get Barret on a date too, do the same as above and don't get Yuffie in your party at the Junon area.
-
Yeah you can go out with any three...Yuffie, Tifa or Aeris. I think i've been out with all three, as well as barett. I was always mean to Aeris though.
haha, do you ever see at the end of the second disc when Cloud and Tifa were alone, because everyone else had went home to prepare for going to the Northern Crater...? ...It was obvious they banged. :laugh:
-
His hair does seem spikier afterward... :P
Tifa was soooooo damn hot!
-
AGREED!
I'm so attached to cloud and tifa as a couple.....even more so than johnny depp and kate moss :8o
-
She travelled the world fighting enemies and monsters and Sephiroth...through the Icicle area....with only a tight top and a miniskirt....heh
-
*idol* :ph34r:
-
You seen the naked piccies ya find on Google?
-
.....
-
inevitably, anything vaugely anime is usually porn these days.
-
That's true...
-
Ya's aren't right.... uncalled for.
OH, ff7 technical demo for the ps3, seen it?
-
Aye I remember you sending me it last week...pwns.
hopefully it spells a remake!!!! :laugh:
-
Does....
-
theres a PS 3? :8o
-
Yep it's coming out in time for xmas 2006...or maybe 2007...not sure, but the new nintento and xbox are being released around then too.
-
meh, i'm most likely too poor for such extravagances anyways.
-
Too much money on hallucenogens then? :P
-
I can just steaaaaaaaalll it from my rich brothers in the dead of night
anyways, they're cheap....
-
I'll probably buy it when it gets real cheapy
-
Well here's hoping for an FF7 remake on ps3 *raises Corona bottle*
-
Better have a lime with that Corona..
-
*sips*
so would that make it just FF7 with amazing graphics?
-
I don't. I forgot to buy a lime... :-\
-
Basically....but I'm not saying it's definitely happening...I'm just hoping....really really hoping. Hopefully an enhanced storyline too....
-
It probably won't, there's no plans announced.
And how could you forget the flibbling lime? Corona is stinkin' without it, tastes like cardboard.
-
I'll get the flibblin lime. flibble the lime for now. Besides, limes rock to eat normally.
I was obsessed with FF7 for months.....ah my early teens were joyous times.
-
Yeh, ya better.
I hated FF7 first time I played it. Only played Soulblade and Grand theft auto.
-
Ah i remember when i was like eight trying to make my hair like aeris'..... good times. ::)
-
Where you on the drugs back then too to want to be like Aeris?
-
allow my young and impressionable mind.
-
I salute anyone who tries to style their hair like Clouds.
-
my friend DOES. On a daily basis....well, hes half japanese and totally ripped with ....cloud spikey length hair so he pulls its off.
-
I've seen ONE of those wierdo cosplayers pull it off, on some website.
-
My friends hair is really cool in its own way but i dont see anyone doing Sephiroth hair and ever looking cool
-
...or without looking like a 90 year old rolling stones fan/paedophile...
-
Was watching some show last night, and some fella was talking to the camera. About 45, sunglasses, reaaaaal long blonde hair, looked like a rapist.
-
Say, shadowfax, your avatar reminds me of yuffie.
-
nah i just thought it was some wierd cartoon or sommat like
-
its zia from mysterious cities of gold
-
Oh right
-
I've always hated yuffie anyway, theiving wee lovely girl
-
lmao "lovely girl", whoever done that censor, just wow...
Don't like Yuffie either, needs a flibblin' smack across the head and told to sit down.
-
What did you think of her mini-storyline in the Wutai area? I thought it was kinda hard at times cos she stole all your materia.
-
It's easy enough, just run around and find it then beat ... 8) the don 8)
-
Oh yes.... 8) the don 8)
GAANNNGSTA!
-
Any of you actually enjoy playing Blitzball?
Or did you prefer the cardgames?
-
I've only played about 5 minutes of FFX, haven't really gotten into it.
And the card came is shνte.
-
Card game in FF8 was good, poo poo in 9, and I hate blitzball basically.
-
If you go to these two sites, you can listen to and/or download all the music for all the Final Fantasies (And that's a lot believe me). They always manage to get amazing music for Final Fantasy - it's always so moving. Anyway, the sites!
www.ffadvanced.com - Ok, this should have FMVs too, but they don't seem to work at the moment. Oh and the mp3s are currently offline too.
www.ffdownloads.com - Click on final Fantasy at the side and then mp3s at the top and you can listen to and/or download the music. This one works, so I'm using it right now.
Gilly - Blitzball is crappy at first, but then I decided to train up my team, and after a couple of matches Blitzball can be really good fun! Now I am obsessed.. XP You enjoy it?
-
I remember there was some site agggggggggges ago, like back in 2000, had all the final fantasy FMVs and a few others like Cloud and Sephiroth at the end, was flibblin class.
-
Sounds awesome :o Is it not around anymore?
-
Nah, gone.
-
Oh, that's a shame. Well maybe ffadvanced will put them back online soon. :3
-
WOW
I didn't rewalize there were soo many FF fans here!!
I am a massive fan, and have loads of the jewellery, inc the griever and lionhart's from FF8!!!!
Have played and completed all the games, including Chocobo Racing and Love em all!!
Personal faves are FF8 and FF9!!!!
-
I didn't rewalize there were soo many FF fans here!!
Meh, the posts mostly consist of Jaymz, Shadowfax and myself blabbering... :[
I didn't really like Chocobo Racing...i thought the one game in the Gold Saucer was enough, lol.
I've played Ehrgeiz in Jaymz' house - it wasnt all what it was hyped upto be...do you still have that copy jim?
-
Ergheiz?Was that the Tekken style beat em up???
And what was Kingdom Hearts all about?
How much is Final Fantasy online monthly?
-
aye I've still gorrit. Only bought it cuz it had FF characters in it, the game itself is pretty awkward to control, in games like tekken your constantly facing the enemy, in this game you can look in any direction and move around the room, which makes it a bit hard if your being hit from behing. The story mode was a bit annoying, aswell.
Some good moves, like omnislash as a button combo. It's not "officially" omnislash, but it's done by Cloud and has a huge amount of slashes, and similar to omnislash.
-
From what I can remember...Ergheiz was easy enough. I was ALWAYS Sephiroth though.
-
Sephiroth is in it.... :PP :wub:
-
aye
YOU CAN GET HIM WITH NO SHIRT ON TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
heh
-
Is is
sword...THING, as big as it is in FF? ::)
-
Bigger
-
Oh yes....reeeeeeeallly long......

Zack....oul zack. someone tell me the story of zack/cloud. i forgot to get that mini storyline last time i played :-\
-
From what I can remember.
Zack was in SOLDIER, not Cloud, Cloud was only a Shinra soldier. Both are experimented on, and they break free. Zack is killed by Shinra soldiers and Cloud is left for dead, outside Midgar.
Cloud inhabits some of Zacks memories, partly through his own embarrasment and lies, but remembers what really happened 5 years ago in nibleheim when Tifa helps him in the lifestream.
If you play the game again you can notice tifa never confirms anything he says, most of it is "..." or "I can't remember" :)
Zack also went out with Aeris for a while, probably shagged the guts out of her while he was at it, but thats why she is "attracted" to cloud at the start, he looks similar to Zack, acts similar, all that.
Only SOLDIER's where exposed to Mako, but Cloud was different, he was exposed to mako through experiments, which is why he is able to pass for a SOLDIER.. (they always mention his glowing eyes)
I might be wrong somewhere though

$9.95, I think. Not sure what that is in pounds, but it's not bad value, I suppose. But I hear there's a connection fee or something? O.o I have the game but the second my parents found out there's a monthly fee, they said "NO". And I don't see much point in having the game if I can't play it. :| I guess I could sell it... :ph34r:
-
I bought FFX jewerly :P
-
I'm fighting Seifer on the second disc now (near the end)....so....flibbling....hard..... XD

One content ID (account and 1 character) is £6 a month basically, every other character you create costs an extra 50p montly, then with the transaction of USD and Sterling, another 50p is added, roughly.
It's worth the money, I should play it more.
-
Anything you can tell me about it online?
Im considering buying it...would like your review please :P :)
-
It's a decent game, but very hard.
Big community, you are put on a random server according to your CD key, but if you have a mate playing the game and want on thier server, they can buy a worldpass that you put in while your registering your character, and youll be on that server. For example, I'm originally on the Carbuncle server, but I knew someone on Ramuh and they bought be a worldpass so I could make a new character on Ramuh. (Server names are named after summons throughout the series)
It's a job based game. You start with a choice of Black mage, white mage, warrior, and so on, but after you reach level 30 you can unlock the other jobs, like Dark Knight, Paladin and so on. At level 18 you have a Main job and a sub job. For example, if you want to be a black mage that can heal yourself, you can be a Black mage, and a White as sub. The Sub job can only be half of the main jobs level, so if your a level 30 BLM, your white subbed job will be 15. You have to level them all up individually. Leveling in the game takes a LOT of time. You can get from 1 to 10 in a day but after that you will need to join parties to get to the higher levels.
Getting money in the game is pretty hard, but you can buy cheap items on auction (thats how people get thier items, NEVER USE SHOPS), but you can also sell things on auction to make money, highest bidder gets the item.
The world, wow, its huge, brilliant graphics, it really IS another world. The maps are unbelievably huge. It takes me 30 minutes to run from Bastok to the other major city San D'oria. And enemies along the way are unbelievably hard and they WILL chase you. At level 20 you can get around faster on a chocobo though, and to other islands by airship and boat. Airships and boats are in real time, so you may have to wait 20 minutes on the next flight, and spend 10 minutes on the actual thing passing over the huge maps.
Normally you can get helpful higher levels that run around helping lower ones get from place to place and so on, and there are groups called Linkshells, basically its a group of people, the linkshell lets them communicate no matter where they are over the world.
The game is nothing like other RPGs, for example, Diablo 2 where you can use a town portal anywhere in the world to get back to town, you cant do that in FFXI. you have to RUN each place. If you want to go to the Valkrum Dunes to level up you need to travel there, if you want to go back to a city, you need to travel back. Although some people will set thier home points at a certain spot where they may want to travel back too and just let a monster kill them (even losing EXP to do this), to save the travelling, but the downfall to this is if you die and didnt want too, your stuck way over at the other side of the world perhaps and you'll just make your party kick you out because it would take too long to get there.
-
Damnit.. you just made me want to play it even more.. >>;;; Well, maybe I can get my mum to pay it out of my pocket money, I mean its not that much. Is there a connection fee?
-
Thanks for tking the time out to do that Jaymz, much appreciated :)
Think you helping me make up my mind :P
-
It'd be cool if we all signed up.. we could make a Lotruk party. 8)
-
Have to be in the same server, but getting world passes is no problem, there are forums giving them out if you request one.
I just started playing it recenetly again myself after 2 months.

As far as graphics go, the game is amazing, game play can be a bit slow sometimes because it can literally take hours to find a party, but when you do it's a good laugh if you get a decent crowd..
One thing I don't like about it is too many geeks who think they are e-hard.
-
Wow.. that looks really amazing :o
-
Ano
-
Sorry for the interruption but *hasn`t got time to read the former post pages*, from which final fantasy are these screenshots? ???
-
.
-
Online? *feels silly* Why haven`t I herd of this?...I only have FFX on PS2...
-
FFXI didn't have as good as advertising normally an FF has because it's not really a Final Fantasy compared to the rest, there's a mountain of differences.
FFXII, can't wait for it, but I don't actually like the look of the battle system and it reminds me of FFXI's a bit. What the flibble are those huge white lines coming out of the characters :8o
