Video Games

[dorien]

i play the old school games on my iphone
running emulators for various platforms.
best way to kill 45 mins on the commute.

currently starting ff5

because of Video games and anime, i got into fashion.
they always looked so cool. and thin

the hair was the best thought. when i have time, or if i'm going out, i do my anime hair.

 

[kelsea]

haha guys have it easy if they want to do anime hair...girls no so much XD
but i agree, video games and anime (especially studio ghibli films for me) was definitely my main interest before fashion. both are so visually appealing!

Dudes & dudettes FFXIII midnight release!! (6 hours ago)

Someone tell me how it is??

 

[Flashbang]

Since I think I won't have the chance to play it myself, then I watch the walkthrough on youtube. Don't like it to be honest :/.
Very Star Ocean-ish from the gameplay.

 

[sarehak]

I haven't been able to play it either, yet at least. I didn't know there was a walkthrough already online, I'll check it out!

Dudes & dudettes FFXIII midnight release!! (6 hours ago)

My friend already has it somehow, maybe because it's New Zealand. But he says that there is no World Map travel...again! There hasn't been World Map travel since Final Fantasy 9 and it kinda sucks

He says the graphics are near-real and the characters are more vivid than the past 2 FFs, which is really good.

BUT, he says that the plot is very restricted. There are next to no side quests and the journey to the end of the game is fixed, no matter who plays it. And this annoys me because side quests have been one of Final Fantasy's LARGEST strengths.

 

[Flashbang]

Practically, there's no town, no world map, you're only strolling around different kind of dungeons fighting monsters, etc. The final boss is really cool tho.

 

[sarehak]

Aww, I love the world map. I didn't think they'd bring it back though but I was hoping.
I did expect the graphics to be good, which is wonderful but if the game experience isn't as challenging it's kind of disappointing, especially with no side quests. I like the flexibility that comes with FF games.
Darn, I guess I'll check it out anyways. Thanks guys

 

[Squizree]

^You're welcome.

The one thing I'm REALLY annoyed that they removed, was the separate battle screen. I don't like fighting on the map, I preferred the shattering screen when a monster battle begins. Especially FF 7,8 and 9 because they had really nerve-racking patriotic music to go with the battles

 

[sarehak]

Omg yes! It just added to the battle. Especially in FFX when the screen shatters so loud & you go AHHH & you proceed to battle all pumped. Now it isn't as original as many other games have that same system.

 

[Squizree]

^ YES!! The worst one was FF9, the music practically gave you a cardiac arrest because it was so intense.

 

[Flashbang]

Actually XIII have their own separate battle screen, and the venue is kinda similar with your character actual location. The 1st encounter to the monster is cool though, your character draw their weapon to the monster and the screen starts to change.

 

[sarehak]

Oh coolio, I guess that counts, haha.

I'm interested in the roles for the characters & how you can switch it out midst battle. Kind of like the dress sphered in FFX-2, yes? Got to do some research.

 

[dorien]

how long did the game take to beat.

i remember VII took me around 72 hours, but i did everything, i even killed all the weapons


XII was trash.
XIII better be good.

ugh, but i have no time right now to play.

 

[Squizree]

^ It took me AGES to beat FF7's weapons. Emerald was sooo hard!

 

[FashionPower]

The most difficult boss was Penance from FFX in my opinion,it took me more than 30 try to defeat him without using Zanmato
I saw some FFXIII walkthrough videos and it's really cool,love the graphic effects and the characters,I saw a video with a huge adamantoise monster...that was cool!
Maybe I'm the only one who loved the no battle screen in FFXII,it was much more realistic...

 

[sarehak]

For anyone who is interested, DaveTheUsher on gameanyone.com already has a 40 min walkthrough up! Not 'complete of course, he'll update as soon as he proceeds through the game.

Gotta say, the graphics are orgasmic.

 

[kokobombon]

I want to play it so bad but right now it´s so expensive in my country
$130 is way too much... I´ll have to wait a few months until it goes down a bit...

You know what I like? How they modeled Lightning as like the femme Cloud. Also how they made the main female characters tall & model-like makes it a great contrast to past female characters, who were shorter.
