Xero Gravity

Since you asked me, in.

March 9th? Thank christ for that. When I heard it was going to be released next Spring, I was afraid that would mean somewhere near the back end of May. Luckily, it's close enough to my birthday to pretty much guarantee a pre-order.

...and on a completely unrelated note, Ozma is still as big a cunt to beat as I remember from the last time I tried.

Get a job? My god, why didn't I think of that before?

I'll join if you'll have me, and assuming my sister actually fulfils her promise to get me a copy...god I hate being broke and jobless.

You never message me anymore

I know there's still space, but even if there wasn't you'd still let me in because you love me.

Linky

...and yeah, it's with (most of if not all I think) the original cast.

Well yeah, I'd been lead to believe that Zodiark was stupidly hard to beat but the only problem I had was when he was down to literally his last few hit points and kept switching between his physical and magical shields before I could land the killing blow.

I would definitely agree that Omega is harder than Yiazmat, when I went into the fight I didn't expect his laser to hit me that quickly. Even worse when he got down to critical health and the damage jumped from 5000 to around 8000 every fucking second. But now he's dead and I can finally go kick Vayne's ass one last time before deciding which game to go back to next...probably IX.

Five hours, and four game overs later, I finally get to see the words 'Yiazmat Vanquished' flash on screen. I was told I'd have more trouble with Zodiark, but I (just about) beat him first time. Now all I've got left is to slap around Omega Mark XII and I can finally complete the damn game.

Definitely could have ended up a lot worse, so I can't complain about our group.

I was always going to be happy as long as Arsenal managed to avoid the four big second seeds, so as long as they don't get Atletico or Fiorentina next then I fancy our chances of progressing.

Olympiakos, that'll do nicely. (Y)

The characterization is somewhat bland (seriously, Balthier, Ashe and Basch are the only ones worth really giving a crap about. Vaan, Penelo and Fran are borderline useless), and the story itself is eerily reminscent of Star Wars, but for me, it's a damn good game.

I don't know why people seem to have a problem with Fran and Penelo. Granted they're far less important to the story than Basch, Balthier, and Ashe, but there's very little difference when using them in the party. Vann on the other hand...well he can just go die in a fire with his 'I'm not the main protagonist, but dammit you're gonna control me throughout the game' crap. Once I got access to at least four party members, Vaan never saw action again...which is why everyone is level 85+ and he's only level 17

But there is so much grind in that game!

Having finally finished gathering loot and buying the Tournesol no more than five minutes ago, I can concur to this a thousand times over.

Okay I'm looking to jump into a FF game again, in front of me I have I, II, III, VI, VII, IX and XII.

I, VII and IX are the only ones I have completed (I was recently aswell). III is on my DS which I don't actually know the location of, so that leaves II, VI, VII, IX or XII to choose from really.

What do you guys suggest, and why?

I agree with Sousa and suggest you play VI, especially seeing as you mentioned you've already completed VII. Definitely up there with VII as the best in the series, and despite having completed it five times I've yet to get bored of it. I mean what's better than getting Mog on your team and turning him into a badass dragoon that can destroy pretty much anything? Nothing, that's what. Oh, and Dancing Mad is one of the best songs from any FF game, period.

As much as I enjoyed Fable 2, is it too much to ask for Black & White 3 instead?

In an effort to prove to Ruki that I'm not going to disappear again, I'm in if you'll have me.

If there's still a spot left (and if my counting hasn't failed spectacularly there should be) count me in. If not, I'll gladly join Cloudy as a reserve.

Did you complete it on easy or medium the first time round? I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has to be beaten on medium first before hard mode becomes available.

As I expected, this is simply fantastic and as with the others makes me wish it was physically possible for me to have Nobuo Uematsu's children.

I'm in, but if you fuck me role wise like you did in Anime Mafia...well, I'll cry.

If this is half as fun as Hajj's, it should be worth it...I'm in.

Could be fun, count me in.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Apsham. Not too long ago I would have considered myself a Sony diehard, and never would have dreamed of getting anything other than a PS3 when it came to the next gen systems. But some of the mind boggling stuff I read about the PS3 made me more and more aprehensive about getting one, and I was eventually coerced into getting a 360 instead. My only regret is Square Enix being bitches and making FFXIII a PS3 exclusive...and even then my fanboyism isn't going to get me to shell out my money on it.

I've not been in one for quite some time, so count me in.

I'd suggest waiting until one of the active games finishes - we've got five going now, which was the limit in the heyday. I also think Ruki might be first in line to start a new one, so I'm not sure what to tell you.

Me and Xero are first in line. We're co-running it, yo.

Naturally I'm pulling for Hatton to take it, but I must confess after hearing him talk about how 'one of the 0's has got to go' (or something to that effect), I'd laugh my ass off to see it end in a draw.

Seriously (joke intended) - greatest movie poster of all-time?
