Queen's Blood (Final Fantasy Thread)

It was wonderful when I got it on release day and had been waiting for a new FF, let alone a PS3 FF, for years.

It remained wonderful up until I was about 4/5 of the way through the game, at which point it became a chore to continue doing the same damn thing with no chance of levelling, side quests or anything but the story. It's crazy linear. If you like FF, you'll probably enjoy it at least for a while, but don't be surprised if after you finally reach XIII's version of The Calm Lands (where everyone says the game REALLY OPENS UP) you find yourself unable to continue. If it's going for cheap, it'd probably be worth it if you've got something else a little more fun to play alongside it.

Saying that, I'd probably have beaten it if I didn't get stuck on one boss near the end and never gotten around to playing the game again.

It's a lot of fun if you love corridors and hate choice.

It's a lot of fun if you love corridors and hate choice.

Also if you hate sidequests. Seriously, that was what made Final Fantasy so fun a lot of the time. Fuck Enix, it's since they merged with Squaresoft that the games went so far downhill :@

Today I was getting a massage when I realizied in the background Tifa's Theme (piano version) was playing. After thinking "sweet", ten minutes later I noticed Fisherman's Horizon kicking in.

In other words, I found my new massuese.

I see people do this a lot and usually just roll my eyes but fuck it. +1 and I wish I could a million fucking times.

That is seriously amazing. I love the Fisherman's Horizon theme!

Ask her to dress up as Rikku for your next appointment.

What?

FF VI fans I present you you're next Christmas/Birthday present from Hugo:

That's right Final Fantasy Vi Soap! Vanilla scented at that.

[DMN in the House]

Just downloaded VII, VIII, IX, and Tactics off PSN. I know where all my free time will go for the forseeable future.

I just wish it hadn't taken me three days to realize I could download them.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

I loved tactics, they should have done more.

[Benji]

... they did. Tactics Advance and Tactics A2.

[Clawson]

I need to get a bigger PSP memory stick so I can fit VIII, IX and Tactics on there. Why I didn't put IX on their first I have no fucking clue.

Dissidia 012. Soooooo good. Laguna is an excellent addition to the cast, especially as a mid-range fighter. It's good because through the storyline, I've learned that I suck at long range (Kuja). I've noticed that it's faster to do a dodge than to wait for Laguna to reload his gun, and most of the time, it avoids the enemies follow up attack anyway.

I've not had any qualms with any of the new cast yet, but I've still yet to use Kain or Tifa.

Yuna is an interesting fighter, with spectacular vertical range, but limited horizontally.

I like the entire concept behind Lightning, switching between paradigms and what not. After seeing how well it's pulled of here, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the mechanics behind this make their way to XIII-2.

The way they've integrated Vaan is a stroke of genius. His HP attacks work surprisingly well, and provided you switch bravery attacks every time you strike, you'll switch weapons, and actually combo faster. Hard to master, but an easy concept to pick up.

As far as versing any of the new ones goes, Kain is a horrible Jump spammer. Got caught out once with one of the 1HP manikins, and had my arse kicked while he repeatedly death from aboved me.

Laguna is definitely my favourite from the new cast, which is a nice change given that Zidane was my fave in the last one.

And yes, this is now getting some serious play time while I wait for some trades in pokemon >.<

[Clawson]

Finally got FFIV: The Complete Collection today then realizied I forgot to charge my PSP. >_<

[tenaciousg]

I don't have 012 yet, but I did play Prologus; that made me start enjoying using Jecht. Lightning's okay, and I'm still undecided on Kain.

Final Fantasy 13 is $20 on Amazon. Worth it?

[Ruki]

I would say so. It's not the best FF, but it is still decent.

[Pizza]

I actually started a second playthrough a couple days ago and am enjoying it, I actually really like the paradigm system. Because of how incredibly linear it is it's probably the worst FF I've played, but it's still not a bad game. I'd get it for $20.

[Benji]

Don't go into it with any expectations of what Final Fantasy is and you might wind up enjoying it. It does have some fun stuff, but it's the furthest removed from Final Fantasy there's ever been. Yes, I'm including XI in that.
