Uh well its a long story. I used to have it and I completed it really quickly. So my brother traded it for a different game. I loved it and forgot what happened :P So I've borrowed it off a friend, and I'm just before the Blitzball tournament.... and I'm sure Im gonna lose ::)

It's brilliant!

FFXII! *Bounces* And I know that's not even out yet but FFXIII has officially been announced for the PS3 and it looks awesome. *Bounces even higher!* Not to mention, it's going to be a compilation (Fabula Nova Crystallis) so there's going to be more than one game.

PS3!!?? No!! Aw no! I only have a PS2!! OMG

RIGHT, I'm calling all my family together to chip in so i can get i--... Wait... It's my birthday soon...  >:(

Have they set a release date for it?

Interestingly, in a very recent countrywide poll, the nation of Japan voted Final Fantasy X as the greatest game of all time in a top 100 list that was made up. FFVII was second and one of the Dragon Quest games on a Nintendo system was third.


I love FFX, alot of people criticise the game for it's use of acting because it seems to pull away from the text based early RPGs, but you know what, I love the acting, and understand just how bloody hard it was to get everything right, especially given that the lip syncing was exclusively Japanese. Alot of lines had to be condensed into short seconds, which is a strange pacing for us European types!! :P


Another criticism is the linear attitude of the game, the fact that the most part of the game feels like you're being led "on rails" rather than freeform exploring like the rest before it. Still, I think it's good, the way the game was made it makes more sense to do away with the world map and focus on the journey rather than the world, it sets your path a lot easier, makes the journey feel alot longer and more testing for the characters and generally feels fresh everywhere you go. Great story, good acting, the best graphics on the PS2 to date(with the possible competition from MGS3), loads to do, loads of content and memorable characters that could have their own gaming series in it's own right! (And judging from just how damn good FFX-2 is, it deserves it.)



Great game.  :D 8)

Lol my friends are all annoyed at me 'cos I saw the trailer for FFXIII and said the female looked to be the only decent one in existance!

They said she seemed like a female Cloud and that was probably the only reason :P

I played DoC and got up against the Boss fight with Azul and totally forgot R1 was the fire button and started hammering X wondering why his health wasn't going down and mine was :8o

Yep, FFXII eats souls.. It owns mine now..

Awww I liked Rinoa and Yuna. >.< Tifa, Quistis and Rikku however are the best obviously.. Ooh and Freya was cool too!

So who else owns FFXII? I bought it on Monday and aiiii I love it so much, it reminds me of my beloved FFIX!

I can't beat the stupid judge bosses though. ::)

Oh I got it two days ago!

SO far I haven't gotten into it really, but on Saturday I'm going to properly play it which will most probably result in me becomming obsessed with it :P

But the graphics really are good, and I love the battle system, though i keep needlessly pressing attack :P

I think I've been missing mainly because of Final Fantasy 12.....more than 57 hours so far and not even halfway through- a real testament to just how great the game is.


I miss Limit Breaks though, the Quickening system is supremely broken, and allows insta-kills, which is odd.


Great characters though, great story, brilliant free-roaming and a nice battle system in general- I'm away to keep playing!!



Oh, I meant to say hi all, so 'Hi all!  :D'


Seeyalatahbye!  :) 8)
