FF-X update:

[timepiececlock]

Haha ha. ::satisfied wicked laugh:: Measter what's-his-blue-face is dead. Deader than dead dead. I beat his screaming mummy-shell demon and whooped his icy little minions. That'll teach him trying to out-magic me!
Of course, my characters are now being hunted down for murder-- but, hey, he was evil! What? That excuse doesn't work? ::whines:: But it works on Buffy! Killing the bad guy who murder his own father for power is a perfectly legitemate hero pastime! Besides, he was trying to marry off my main's guy's love interest to gain even more power, and that's just not right! And I got bunches of power/magic upgardes for it...
I mean, who really cares about all the terror we've cause by killing the high-est ranking religious figure on this mucky little anti-indsutrialist game-world, anyway? I mean, it'll do no more than cause mass panic among the already terror-stricken populace, and possibly incite civil war between two races that were just earlier this morning co-existing peacefully. I mean, evil, had to go!

Hah. I love yelling at the tv when I play this game.

Wanna know something really sad though? Earlier I mentioned that Final Fantasy X had too much story dialogue.... well the english voice-acting in the PS-2 game FFX is better than in Inu-Yasha, and on-going popular anime series that already has 50+ dubbed eps (though it's not all out on CN yet). How sad is that?

Ahhh, good ol' FFX. I remember that game. Sounds like you're in the temple surrounded by ice since you fought Seymour and his aeon. Trust me, you thought that was good, you haven't seen anything yet. God, that ending still gets to me. It's one of the most romantic endings ever (other than Lunar:SSSC that is). And that final scene. Still brings a smile to my face. I envy you. You get to experience FFX goodness for the first time. You're in for a hell of a ride. Now, if I can only finish Kingdom Hearts. That game is hella hard.

Kingdom hearts-- that's the one with the disney/anime crossover, right? I thought that looked really cool, and was thinking about getting it later.
I actually think a lot of the FF-X gameplay is boring as heel, with too much dialogue. But I', determined to play it to the end, especially since a) its not that hard, and b) I never finished FF-VII on my PC. That's right-- I'm still totally in the dark as to how the whole Cloud/Clone/Planet/Sepiroth thing ended. I only got about halfway into the third disk.
I had no interest in FF-IX, and I played the demo for FF-VIII and the junctioning thing confused the hell out of me. I might by it one day though, cause everyone liked it so much.
I think FF-X is easier than FF-VII... you have no time limit for choosing attacks in battle-mode, so in order to win you just have to strategize how to order your attacks. Rather simplistic, but I must admit I want to know where the over-long story is ging, so... I'll finish it eventually. It might take years, cause I don't play often, but...

I agree with you about FFX. I'm finding it really boring and such a pain to motivate myself. I loved the other games (well, VII, VIII and IX anyway)

VIII is a great game once you figure out the junctioning. It's really hard at first but once it clicks you'll be fine

Well, good luck with X anyway, you're a lot further than I am *wander off muttering about the stoopid game*

Ack! You didn't like it? Sure, it was basically a movie, but it was a good movie. I know the new battle system takes some getting used to, but you'll find an amazing story underneath. Well, like I told Rashaka earlier, there's the DVD available if you're interested in how it all ended. Here's a hint, there's gonna be a sequel next year based directly on FFX :)

Crap. That means I only have until next year to finish it, or I'll get inadvertantly spoiled by the promos spots.

Re: FF-X

Well, it's not like the FF commercials are very plot intensive in the US like they are in Japan. Anyhoo, it should be released next fall, so you've got plenty of time. Let me know if you get stuck, I'll help ya out so you can finish it quicker :)

thanks, I will

Kingdom Hearts is the Disney/FF crossover extraganza. But, since it's more of a game like Zelda than FF, and the camera's basically busted, the game is somewhat frustrating.

As for FFVII, it was monumental for its time, but the ending had me scratching my head. FFVIII was just coolness personified since it had more of a mature theme and a specific romantic tilt like FFX. FFIX was the throwback to the old school FFs back on the SNES with black mages, crystals, and one badass mofo.

As for your comment on FFX being simple, I gotta agree with you. Although, I love the more strategic element in this one since you have access to all your members instead of the dedicated few that the previous ones left you with. If you're just interested in the story, I know there's a FFX DVD out there that contains just the CG movies (all in all, it's about six hours long). Just a thought.

Re: FF-X

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Yeah, a friend of mine has the DVD. I didn't realize it was that long though-- six hours? No wonder it feels like they're constantly talking in this game.

Re: FF-X

[spikespeigel.livejournal.com]

Well, it was the first time a FF used voice, so they were bound to go a bit overboard :) I'm sure they'll learn their lesson for FFXII (since XI is the MMORPG I'll be avoiding it like the plague; I want plot in my RPGs thank you very much).

Re: FF-X

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

'MMORPG' --- what the, huh? I know 'RPG'....

But I will definitely ask you if I need help, thanks!

Re: FF-X

MMORPG = Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.

Just so you know :)
