What are you currently playing?

[Saishu]

Golden Axe! I played the Arcade version, and was disappointed how it ended faster than the Genesis version. Death Adder Jr. was the real Death Adder :?

[Gillian Seed]

Why the #### do we need a Rock Band 2? Seriously.

For more multiplayer options. Online world tour mode, the ability to create set lists to play certain songs back to back. That way the albums we have downloaded we can actually play through in order instead of having to pick only one song at a time then going back to the menu to reload and ####.

Plus it is a #### load of new songs all in one drop, not that 3+ songs a week isn't enough, it's going to be nice. I hear Bad Religion, Interpol, Against Me! and there were a few others I was really looking forward to, were going to be included.
I'm sure a patch and some DLC could easily take care of all of that.

well if the disc has ~60 and the new game modes I want, its worth the price already, each song usually is 1.99 about, so your already saving a #### ton on songs alone, throw in the extra modes and it is well worth it.

I would take DLC and what not too, if the price was as good as the disc should be.

[Kid Marin]

Etrian Odyssey II - I'm stuck at 10F since sooooooo long. Can't beat the boss. :cry:

[Mouchette]

bionic commando - original arcade edition

and it sucks mothballs compared to the NES classic.

[Dual]

^ Yeah, it's pretty bad. The NES one isn't really another "edition," per se, it's more of a sequel.

[dragonlife29]

Chapter 4 of War of the Lions. Hell of a game!Damn right it is!

I'm actually on the third chapter, myself. Ah, the memories :) Although now I can actually enjoy the story since I couldn't really understand it all those years ago.

[Flußkönig]

I beat the World Ends With You last night. Lol I got lightheaded from constantly blowing into the microphone for the last boss fight. I also ended up spitting all over my DS. 8)

Now I will probably finish playing through Live-A-Live after my month (two month ?) long hiatus.

[RayFoxSith]

^What did you think of it?

That is why even though they are way easier to use than most other pins, I only used the mic ones to level them. All the blowing makes my throat hurt.

[Sei]

I work at multiple levels.

[Flußkönig]

^What did you think of it?

Well, the graphics and sprite work and cutscenes were definitely the best I have seen on the DS. The battle system was fun if you had a good setup, but it takes awhile to get used to the battles. It ended up taking me 1/3 of the game to really get the feel of controlling both the top and bottom screen.

There is a ton of stuff for completionists to do (including a new game plus type deal where you have different objectives to complete each game day) if you are in to that. Enemies drop different items depending on what level you are (this can be adjusted in the menu) and what difficulty level you use.

I didn't really like the music, character design or dialogue though. The story is sort of interesting once you piece everything together, but the crummy dialogue ruined it for me. I think one of your partners is using ebonics or something. :cry:

Overall it is fun, but not $40.00 fun.

Edit: I guess I will put this into Sei's review thread (totally devoid of reviews from Sei) as well.

[DamnedToBeFree]

[Sei]

^ I'll get around to it! Have been having tests non stop. And other things.

Plus I kinda thought the thread might be dead due to Animus and lack of interest, but I appreciate the patronage.

[Tenbatsu]

Still playing EO I.

I'm at floor 17 and kind of regretting making an all physical damage party. I might level a hexer to compliment my dark hunter.

[Futomimi]

Hexers don't really deal much elemental damage, though. I would suggest either a Troubadour or an Alchemist. With the Troub, you can use songs that will cause all of your physical attackers to deal elemental damage, rather than physical damage. With the Alchemist, only the Alch will be able to cast spells, while the others are still dealing strike/pierce/blunt damage.

Also, the Troubadour can learn a bunch of other things that are useful, like a passive skill that ups EXP.

[Saishu]

I made it to chapter 9 on Ninja Gaiden 2. My Master Ninja streak was broken though, by Head Ninja.

I'm progressing through this game faster than the first one. I didn't bother to finish Ninja Gaiden until the summer after Ninja Gaiden Black came out.

The troubadour sounds like exactly what I need. I started with one in the beginning but switched it out because of its limited skills/attack power early in the game. I guess it's time to level it up.

[massaker]

Finished this finally, it was cool... and weird.

Yeah, put some points into songs, then start making yours learn each song that gives elemental qualities to each weapon... I forget the exact names of each song, sorry.

Got to Hell in Diablo. What a frustrating level....

Psychonauts

I loved the design of the game, as well as the personalities and voices of each character, but GOD DAMN that was some of the worst platforming ever.

[Sayckeone]

Super Stardust HD.

I just got my first trophy, The Tokenizer.

EDIT: GEAH! Completed the first planet, and unlocked another trophy. My hi-score for Lave is 3289940.

I foresee a Score Attack thread coming in the near future.

[SickleCellAnemia]

LOTS of Virtua Fighter 5 Online, and Pokemon Puzzle League via Virtual Console.

[PFV]

Playing Super Stardust HD again.

Got Shock and Awe trophy by killing myself on the 10th nuke. Awesome.

No, these God damned golden vipers are owning me over and over. The game just suddenly went hard on me. I'm just installing Diablo II as we speak.

[PFV]

Where are the nukes?
You have to play in Endless mode. It was added to the game with the solo expansion pack.

[Sayckeone]

^Oh #### that.

[Saishu]

Made it to chapter 12 on Ninja Gaiden 2. I ran out of items after killing the boss and then there were a bunch of explosive jellyfish in the lava blocking the path. They killed me so I stopped playing since I have to fight the annoying boss again without enough healing items...

[Sayckeone]

Super Dodgeball Brawlers.

This game is SO much fun!

[Yazarc]

^What's it like? I've been thinking about buying it for a couple weeks now.

[Sayckeone]

^Take dodgeball, throw in the fighting and item buying aspects of Nekketsu, and you have SDB. You just run around around the field throwing the ball around and beating up the rival team. Sometimes various classic Nekketsu objects fly onto the field and you can pick them up and either throw them or beat you rivals with them. It's has Tournament, VS, and Brawl modes. Not sure what Brawl is yet, but Tournament is self explanatory, and VS is a single VS game. You can also create your own team. Oh! Brawl is where there are eight players on the field and you basically just rumble.

LOL I just hit the guy in the back of the head! His reaction was priceless! XD

I should be in bed sleeping right now...

[RayFoxSith]

Played Diablo II and loving it.

[Zephyr]

I'm playing Ultima Online after a long hiatus.


100th post. Yay...

[Tenbatsu]

Do people still play UO?

I reactivated my account three years ago after taking a 5 year break and I was totally lost. Britan was a ghost town and the few people I saw were all ubered out with crazy ass pets and gear.

I played maybe three days and quit again.

More (myself included) play on free ones. It's set in a retro UO style. No crazy artifacts or Trammel to deal with.

That doesn't sound half bad.

Although I don't see myself getting back into UO anytime soon.

[Sanctine]

Blue Dragon.

Wow, this is a great RPG. Twice as good as what I was expecting.

[Arjuna]

Just out of curiosity Sanctine, which 360 did you end up getting?

[Sanctine]

Just out of curiosity Sanctine, which 360 did you end up getting?

The Pro. The price will be dropping soon, and I bought it from a place that'll refund my money if I bring the receipt back within thirty days.

Yeah, the Elite just isn't worth it. If it had Wi-Fi, it'd be a different story.

[Arjuna]

TBH I would have waited for the upcoming 60GB announcement at E3. What if it comes with Wi-Fi? Or other cool ####. People are speculating that it could have a new motherboard that will reduce RRoD rate. I mean $50 more bucks could save you a lot of shipping charges back to MS to get your HD wiped more than likely.

[Mouchette]

i'm once again playing Morrowind, where i am an almighty High Elf with a killer levitation spell that can bump-off Cliffracers just in having them come in contact with my wake.
What i'd like to know today is... what sort of character are you?
And then what is your favourite weapon?

Mine is The Fork of Horripilation.

What most people i talk with don't seem to realize is that this weapon's strength doubles with each kill.

i am currently able to bump-off Dagoth Ur with just one jab,
and that's on the highest difficulty setting!! But this is only if i wanted to;
instead, i've befriended him so there is no need.
We reign over Vvardenfall together, as one.

But if i decided to turn on him, just remember--
one Fork of Horripilation jab is all it would take.

Relatedly, i just discovered the following link which had me laughing for a while...

He can probably return it with his receipt. IF they announce something awesome, he can just bring his back, and get the new one.

[Saishu]

Beat Ninja Gaiden 2 today. The last three bosses were a pain.

I missed a trial and a skull so I'll be playing through it again.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Decided to give "Star Ocean: Till The End of Time" a try. That was a mistake...

[Thunder-Slash]

Playing Hitman: Contracts.

[massaker]

I tried contracts after bloodmoney, didn't work out so well.

I'm thinking of finishing Grim Fandango, or starting P3, or buying a Wii.

Nah, don't worry. I covered all my bases.

If what you say does actually happen (which I thought it might, beforehand), I can take it back for a full refund, no questions asked, within thirty days. E3 I believe takes place in the middle of July, so if that were to occur, I'd still have plenty of time to return it. No worries.

[Arjuna]

Ok cool just giving you a heads up, but then again this is all just speculation and rumors, nothing is certain. If this bundle hits Costco my 20GB is going back DMF1, along with whenever the MGS4 PS3's hit them soon.

[Sanctine]

I wanted to buy the MGS4 PS3 bundle, but yeah, out of stock, everywhere. So I settled on the 360, considering I have less of a week before I start my new job.

[Arjuna]

I'm pretty sure Sony will announce a new SKU at E3 similar to last year's E3.

[ViolenceJack]

Tales of Destiny, Spore, & Ridge Racer.

[Gillian Seed]

I'm pretty sure Sony will announce a new SKU at E3 similar to last year's E3.

really? I dont think so.

I think the new 60GB pro will be exactly the same system just with that larger HDD, I doubt it'll have built in Wi-Fi or anything, MS keeps saying they give the customer choice.

Whats your gamertag Sanctine?

[Sanctine]

Whats your gamertag Sanctine?

Ah... haha. I haven't connected the thing online, yet. But you'll be the first to know when I do!

[Thunder-Slash]

I tried contracts after bloodmoney, didn't work out so well.

Heh... I finished Blood Money before starting this one too. And I agree that it is a pain in the ass to successfully carry out a hit without getting caught. But it's so satisfying once I actually do finish a mission without letting anyone know that the hit was carried.

[massaker]

Hitman is great. Loved the very first one. You had to hit this coked up scarface guy with an m60.

Chocobo's dungeon 2 (Ps1) Figured I'd fire it up since it'll be a while till I get the Wii one.

Still Snake eating, defeated the fury. Wonder how big the research facility is.

[Master Zombots]

I am 20 hours into Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Sayckeone, you were right. :) This is a great game. I am trying to finish it so that I can begin the second one, which I hope is just as good if not better. The game must take around 40-60 hours to complete too, considering that I have barely completely a third of the quests.

[Sayckeone]

^Err... I didn't say FFTA was great. It's not bad, but it pales in comparison to the original FFT and TO.

[Sanctine]

Earth Defense Force 2017.

Holy ####, this game is fun. Completely justifies the 360, IMO. Now, if it were to have online co-op with like ~50 people, it would be perfect. Next time, maybe.

[Arjuna]

skate, Super Stardust HD, and Mortal Kombat II. Hit me upppp on that MK DTR. Nice excuse! "Waiting for a friend to play skate!".

Later today, no excuses!

[SlaughterX]

Rez HD, about to play the 4th level. Only got 90% analyzation on the 3rd level so I will have to replay that to unlock level 5... You wouldn't think a game that looks this simple would benefit from HD, but playing it proves otherwise, I want a SMT game in HD, damn it... Also I'm getting sick of 360 games that automatically start off in stereo (Rez and NG2 both do this).

[Raidou11]

So many games, so difficult to pick...

Persona 3 FES, Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs Soulless Army, and Gundam Battle Chronicles. Actually, I have about 30+ good games to choose from.

[massaker]

Devil saga is cool, it's what got me into atlus games. Its kinda like final fantasy on a bad acid trip.

Damned is kinda right. I have SPM and it's soooooo sllllllloooooowwwww. It kicks Paper Mario: Thousand Year's ass, but that's not saying much. Let's put it this way, if you like Paper Mario, you'll like SPM. If you heard SPM is like the older Marios with the platforming and whatnot.... it sucks.

[Logan]

I finished my second play through of The Darkness yesterday. A good game especially for only $20 bucks. I picked up Folklore for 30 bucks a couple days ago as well since I liked the demo. The music and environments remind me of Fable a little bit. It's pretty good so far. And I'm still playing LoZ:PH and MGO from time to time as well.

[Sanctine]

I finished my second play through of The Darkness yesterday. A good game especially for only $20 bucks.

I was waiting for a PC port, but that never came, so I might pick up the 360 version. I was interested in this.

[Logan]

I definitely recommend it. I'm not a huge fan of FPS but this one was really fun. It's a pretty decent length and the demon powers are a lot of fun to toy around with. Lots of unlockables such as a few of the original "The Darkness" comics and lots of concept pics and whatnot. Never tried out the multi-player but for $20 bucks you can't go wrong.

There is a Mega Man Marathon going down online this weekend, just like the Mario Marathon a couple weeks back. So I am going to be playing all of the Mega Man games in order myself, because I think it would be fun and also because I have a desire to play some older games all of a sudden.

p.s. Be sure to check out that marathon this weekend as it is to raise money for Child's Play, which is my favorite charity organization. It's a good thing these people are doing. The Mario Marathon, just to give you guys an idea, raised over $11K for charity in just one weekend, and that's nothing to sneeze at.

Anyway I'll be on the road for a good 5 hours tomorrow (and luckily I won't be behind the wheel), so I will be playin' the DS, probably NG:DS.

[Olethros]

^ I tried to think of an answer to that, but it just made my head hurt!

[Dual]

The question still stands.

The plane of the Milky Way galaxy is visible from Earth as a band of light in the night sky, and it is the appearance of this band of light which has inspired the name for our galaxy.

Some sources hold that, strictly speaking, the term Milky Way should refer exclusively to the observation of the band of light, while the full name Milky Way Galaxy, or alternatively the Galaxy should be used to describe our galaxy as an astrophysical whole.

Digital Devil Saga 2: Just beat the 3 idiots, getting ready for round 2.

[Sei]

MGS3. Backtracking all the way to where I can get the Tsuchinoko. Almost missed it, I'm glad I saved before defeating the fury. Also, Chocobo's Mystery dungeon 2, like it better than Shiren for some reason. Probably the extra plot and cutscenes, although both are awesome games.

(Edit) Well, that sucked, you can't backtrack from the mountain area, but luckily I had a save at The End. saving and leaving from where he is also takes you fairly close to where the Tsuchinoko is, though. Finally captured one though.

Sucks having to replay everything till the fury, but it should go faster this time.

[Hitoshura]

Devil Summoner. Really wishing there was some way to play hard mode from scratch.

Played some Rez HD, downloaded the Bourne Conspiracy, and thinking about downloading Ikaruga or something else.

[Fuyukaze]

Switching between 3 DS titles at the moment. Etrian Odyssey 1, Worms 2, and Pokemon Pearl. When I dont mind grinding, I try and level up my boss party in EO. After about 2-3 levels on my medic, I'm bored of the frog slaughter. Then I move on to Worms 2. It's a fun game but unless your playing multi, it grows boring as the campaign mode is easy and the other stuff is just tedious. Pearl, well, that's a guilty pleasure. I beat all the boss' except for the final floor. Only to learn the most basic. How to mine in the underground tunnels. Now that I can do the simple things, I've been slowly growing spheres and getting lots of nifty items I could use to pump up the abilities of my pokemon. For some reason, even with nearly 80 hours I still dont mind the grinding in it. It's a good thing EO doesnt have an hour counter as I'd probly be disgusted with how many I've invested into it.

[Hitoshura]

^ Which Devil Summoner are you playing, Hito?

The PS2 one. I very rarely play through games in JP, only if I've already played them in English, thus the desire to play SMT 1/2 PSX.

Ah, I was hoping you were playing through the original DS, i'm still stuck on that game :cry:

[Hitoshura]

Haha, I may give it a run if there's some sort of translation guide or something. The skills themselves shouldn't be hard to figure out since most of them seem to be in katakana, but knowing the story alongside it would be nice too.

[EvilHero]

^ I have a link to a nice little site that has a small walkthrough on it. It doesn't go very indepth, but at least it tells you where to go. I can PM you to it if you like.

The only real difficulty i'm having with this game, is demon conversations. I've played plenty of Megaten games in Japanese and have had little trouble convincing demons over to my side, for some reason this game is alot different, I can't persuade anything onto my team.

Trying out the Conan Chronicles mod for Neverwinter Nights 2. It's pretty cool so far, almost better than the original scenario. (Though I'm not very far in the main game yet.)

Also, I just beat the bull-like colossus in Shadow of the Colossus, I think it was the most annoying so far. It just kept knocking me down while I was getting up. :?

As for Rondo of Swords, I'm still trying to beat the Land of Ice mission without getting casualties. Those mages are being real bitches, especialy with my Ansom hurt from the last mission. Alberich is pretty kickass though. 8)

Folklore. Up to Chapter 3 with both characters. I like the combat and how your Folks level up through certain feats and whatnot. And using different Folks and finding certain enemies weaknesses keeps things from getting old IMO. And each character's Folks are somewhat different for the most part so they're not clones of each other which is nice. However, I'm not liking to have to go through the same areas and fighting the same boss twice. I think they should have made the areas different for each character somehow. Different bosses would be nice and would make more sense in terms of the story as well. The story is a bit slow and usually just leads to more questions, though that really doesn't bother me. It's still early in the game so hopefully it'll pick up soon and give some answers.

[Esoteric]

^I stopped playing after I got the girl to chapter 4 and the guy to chapter 3. It just stopped being interesting to me. Let me know if it gets any better.

What!? Man last year it was incredibly common. I picked it up for 20 bucks. Then again, I also bought my DDS1 Deluxe Box set before they reprinted it with just the game for 100 lol. If you find DDS2, don't forget, the paper insert is a flip with different artwork on both sides.

[Foryth]

Yay! I just beat Shadow of the Colossus! I must say that the ending is very beautiful. :)

I'd say it took a little less than 10 hours. Hard to tell because I fell asleep playing last night and I left it running while doing something else too. The clock was at aproximately 18 hours, so removing about 7 hours of sleep and an hour of doing something else, it would amout to about 10 hours in two days.

edit: @Dual, yeah it was pretty common a little over a year ago, every store seemed to have a copy, but now I haven't seen either DDS1 or 2 in any store for ages.

[SickleCellAnemia]

Space Invaders: EXTREEEEEME
Hell yeah! I just unlocked the Extreme option in Arcade Mode, on stage 2 right now, it gets tough.

[CSXLoser]

Got Persona 4. All i can say is that it will be a hard choice between P3FES and P4 for best PS2 rpg of 08

[Dual]

KotOR's combat is awful, I thought I was going to play a video game, not ####ing Star Wars D&D. Maybe I'll get used to it, although I'm thinking I might quit and put it back on the backlist for a while.

[RayFoxSith]

^Agreed. The combat kinda alienated me and it felt a little clumsy. I might check it out if I ever find it really cheap, but Star Wars does almost nothing for me.

[Sayckeone]

The combat was OK. What killed the game for me was how none of the choices you make have any real affect of the world around you.

[RayFoxSith]

Played the Too Human Demo. It's not bad, actually. I found it quite entertaining.

[Saishu]

Playing FES, the Journey on Hard Mode. It's a lot harder than the Answer which kinda sucks. At least I'm not bored with this playthrough.

On my 4th playthrough and I am on easy mode, but its really all the same. I can barely survive Monad. When these flying dudes ambush us, it was pretty much game over. They go off with Mahamaon and Mamudoon 4 times in a row. I wouldn't bother with hard mode.

MS Gundam Crossfire, a couple missions before finishing it, so I figured it'll be a nice quick break before starting MGS4.

For anyone into this, Mobile Suits from MS Igloo are in it, namely the Hildolfr tank. It is pretty awesome, and can transform between MS and Tank, like in the series. Pretty cool.

[Hitoshura]

^Yeah really. I invested a good 50ish hours into TWEWY before I stopped. Excellent game.

[arollo]

I'm currently about an hour from being finished with Children of Mana, and Summon Night Twin Age is next in the queue.

I've also got a game going on SMT Persona 3F on my PS2, but I'm going to pick up Final Fantasy IV and most likely Izuna 2 in a week, so my PS2 might get lonely. Though who am I kidding? Persona is so awesome I may actually be forced to put my DS down for a while.

[raum215]

TWEWY is really hard to play* if you are left handed and like to switch up attacks. Most of the time I found it was pretty much use one attack until it is done, and then swtich to another. (*hard to play if the top screen isn't on automatic.) Neat game though.

I was playing Nocturne (12 hours in and level 17 in Ginza.) I was fine until the flu kicked in. Then a 4X"New Enemy Appears" series of encounters while heading to the Fountain of Life and ending in 4 Lilim that felt like exercising that sexy gaze all over us. Eventually both of my surviving members were charmed and killing each other. Thank's ATLUS!

(this game is pretty much perfect! I love the translation, and am going to start a collection of notes about it. I wish the out of print double jump guides were available for purchase as pdfs. I bet I could find a great poster in this one!)

Fortunately I save often, and only lost the Lilim I was recruiting. time for break...

---- sigh.

I switched to Crisis Core for a minute. A good friend (who finally has the reprint of FFVII thanks to me) suggests I finish it. But honestly, most of the battles I get in are just exercises in how fluid my single x button action is. And sometimes, the game just really seems to suck bad. Is it just me?

I think I am going to get FFXII (on this board's advise! thx) when I get more popsicles and juice. and fight the urge to trade in Crisis Core. I am SO CLOSE to the end, just can't stomach more than at most 2 hours of this game at a time. If they wanted it more like a adventure game, it should be played more like Vagrant Story, or even Parasite Eve.

SMT online. Sure, it's a MMORPG but it's free.

Playing Contact on my DS. Cooking sucks.

[Foryth]

Started Devil May Cry yesterday, I just beat the scorpion boss to get the proof of the lion. Quite fun so far. :) Even if the graphics really are early PS2 ugly.

I'm also playing Trauma Center 2 and EO2 at work during my breaks.

[Arjuna]

Attempted to give P3 FES The Answer a chance, but ugh as soon as I heard Grandma Fuukamimi say one word I turned it off.

[Chronis]

:( You know Foryth, I have 2 copies of DMC1. I could have given you one! I don't need 2!

Anyway, I played some Phantom Hourglass today. I'm in the northeast quad and I have no clue what to do.

[Foryth]

Oh well, it's not like I could've known. It wasn't too expensive anyway, I kind of bought it on a whim. I guess you'll still have it for some other lucky person someday. ;)

I'd have to start a new game of Phantom Hourglass eventualy. During the time one of my workmates bought my DS(before I bought it back from him, long story) he deleted all the saves on it. I was on the island surrounded by ice before that happened.

I just started playing Nocturne. I'm only at the hospital in the very begining, but I already know I probably won't be touching anything else for a while. :D

[Saishu]

I've been playing Izuna all day. I beat the first four gods. Have to charge my DS now.

[Kid Marin]

* Chocobo's Dungeon - Honest roguelike. I like it because, unlike Shiren DS, i'm progressing.

Yeah, eventually you end up with so many points that you get everything for everybody anyway. Still, it's fun to enjoy being unique while it lasts.

By the way, did you do anything in particular in your first playthrough? For me it was...

Vaan - White Mage #1, equipped with guns for good measure.
Penelo - Primary damage dealer. Had some black magic, but mainly stuck to swinging her two-handed sword around. :)
Balthier - Used lances. Tried to use him in a commander, or "support" type role, with lots of helpful green magic.
Fran - Typical Black Mage type. Used a staff.
Ashe - White Mage #2, for when I wasn't using Vaan. She wielded a bow.
Basch - The other physical attacker. Shield and axe. Though for some reason he also had time magic.

[DamnedToBeFree]

I have an idea of what I want each character to do, but I'll wait until I have everyone in my party first. Right now, Vaan, Basch, and Balthier are dealing the damage, with Fran acting as the White Mage(and will most likely keep that role).

[Futomimi]

I use Fran as my black mage.... Ashe is the white, while Penelo is an odd mix of things.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Yea I kinda did screw up. I had planed for Fran to be my Black Mage, but it skipped my mind when I was unlocking various Licenses.

[Futomimi]

Doesn't really matter, like someone else said, you'll probably have enough LP for her to do both roles by the time you're halfway through the game.

[DamnedToBeFree]

That's what I'm trying to avoid. In my last game, everyone was able to equip the same weapons/armor/etc, as well as cast the same magicks and technicks. I'm trying to make each character unique.

[Flußkönig]

When I was playing through FFXII using classes I had:

Basch - Hunter - axe, shield, spear, bow, poach, green magic

Balthier - Dark Knight - sword, shield, two handed sword, arcane magic

Vaan - Ghetto Ninja - dagger, ninja-to, katana, fighting staff (whatever?), bomb, misc magic

Penelo - Chemist - guns, items

Fran - Druidess - rod, bow, green magic, white magic

Ashe - Sorceress - stave, black magic, time magic, white magic

But really, there is a huge amount of variety. Most of the FF can be recreated to a large extent using the license grid.

[Futomimi]

Oops, didn't read that this was your second game. My bad.

Kinda weird that you took Guns away from Balthier.

[Futomimi]

I like swords better than guns on Balthier too.. I might actually play around with his class ideas, because I'm tired of so many of my characters using swords or poles.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Has anyone played the International version of FFXII?

[Arjuna]

Hito has, and well I gave it a try after he told me more about it. I really wish the text were in English the job classes added to the game were a damn nice addition.

[DamnedToBeFree]

Yea it's pretty stupid that they didn't include the English text. I was really looking forward to picking up copy.

Got passed the first big door in The Answer. lol I like how Fuuka is so worried about food, is it just me or does she sound different every now and then. Sometimes she sounds like a grandma and sometimes like a weird young girl.

[Hitoshura]

Beat Devil Summoner. In the end, I think it was a good game. A little nutty, not necessarily a good SMT game, but it was pretty enjoyable. Also I take back anything I said about it not being hard. Though I wasn't really using top level demons in the end, that final battle was pretty damn tough.

On to P3 now, I suppose.

[Foryth]

Just beat Fallen Forneus in Nocturne, on hard. He wasn't particularly hard, but it was a fun fight nonetheless. I really love this game so far. :D My main character is currently level 9. Most of my other demons are level 5, except High Pixie at level 10 and Hua Po at level 6.

[Mouchette]

yesterday i started playing Enchanted Arms on my Xbox.



at its heart, i find it to be a wholesome, fun and very exciting game; and i am happily thrilled to have been blessed with discovering it.

Amen.

[Sanctine]

Grand Theft Auto IV. Damn, this is a good game. I've liked all the GTAs so far, but this one takes the cake. By far the best.

[Sayckeone]

God of War II still. I just fought possibly the most intense boss battle ever in the history of video games. I had two ####ing bosses attacking me at once and neither was letting up even the slightest.

I don't know if it's cause it's hot out, if my Triple is blowing out an obnoxious amount of heat, or if that battle was just that intense, but I was sweating bullets. It was pouring down my face!

[Constraint]

####ing drawing is getting tedious in Final Fantasy 8, but nevertheless, it's a great game. I'm not at the part with Zell, Selphie, and Quistis looking for Squall in Prison.

^FF8 is the best of the PS1 era FF titles unless you count the release of FF5.

I agree with that statement. Final Fantasy VIII is my favourite.

There are about 6 people who agree with us, though. C'est la vie.

[DamnedToBeFree]

FFIX was probably my favorite, if only because of Vivi.

[Chronis]

I played MLB Power Pros for about 4 hours nonstop today. The success mode is really addicting, even though you don't actually play any baseball in it... yet.

[Sayckeone]

I can't do the final button sequence in GoWII. It's. Just. Too. Fast.

[arollo]

FFIX was probably my favorite, if only because of Vivi.

I liked IX, but it seemed like they were going out of their way to please the sweaty fanboys who just wanted more SNES games. Of course, those would be their customers, so why not?

For some reason, though, I just couldn't get into IX. I should give it another go, though. I just re-played VIII a while back, I should just go through all of the old Final Fantasy games in order, starting with III on the DS.

[Constraint]

I remember long time ago when I was "Holy ####, did that just happen?" on the final cg scene in Disk 1. Then I realized that Main Characters don't die so easily.

[Flußkönig]

Wow, speaking of FF I just started playing through FFVI again. Decided I would try out the gba version since it had just been sitting around in shrink wrap for a year and a half. It is great other than the infinitely small screen and the crappy sound emulation.

I have no clue what the extra additions are over the psx version. Hopefully they included an extra dungeon like the other gba remakes.

FFVIII and FFIX were both fun up to a point. Unfortunately once that point was reached I lost all interest in going forward with the game.

Lol I am still planning on finishing Live -A- Live at some point. Hopefully I will work up some interest in playing through the final chapter sometime next week.

If you're going to play any of the old ones, make sure they're the original versions, or the PS1 re-releases. The GBA remakes are laughably easy and take all the fun out of the games.

Well, FFVI was never that hard to begin with, so maybe it's because it's on a portable system that makes it seem "easier".

But what I said still holds true for the original Final Fantasy.

[Raidou11]

Supposedly, I would say that FFVIII was my favorite out of the Final Fantasy series, but since FFXIII is coming out along with FF Versus XIII, I find it difficult to make a choice. In fact, FFX was good as well. As for the classics, FFIII was good.

As for what game I am now playing, I would say its a tough choice between Persona 3 FES, DDS, DS, SO3, and Tales of the Abyss. Personally, I find Star Ocean 3 to be the best of all, mainly due to the multiple endings, which the other games lacked. On my 4th or 5th playthrough, I have less than 50% of the battle trophies. Jeez, I suck!

Instead we get the Pussy Arcanine #### game, X-2. (To all game companies out there, Screw the fans, make the damn game.)

[Raidou11]

Star Ocean 3 [...] On my 4th or 5th playthrough
So, do you ever leave your house?

Also, what Esoteric said. That's just retarded.

Not really. Its just the battle trophies are really difficult to get. And by collecting battle trophies, you get to unlock some pretty sweet features, such as music test, additional outfits, and also the amazing full active mode. Since its my 5th game, I intend on giving up on the full active mode, since its totally out of reach. Instead, I plan on getting the music test and the 4th set of outfits.

And about FF11, it is quite disappointing that the game was MMORPG only. I saw the expansion pack on sale for 5 bucks onry. Jeez..

Edited: The thing about SO3 having the extra challenging battle trophies isn't something uncommon within the Star Ocean series. From what I heard, Star Ocean: The Second Story had 80+ endings, probably the game with the MOST multiple-endings in the history of video games.
