Queen's Blood (Final Fantasy Thread)

[Clawson]

I've gotten halfway twice...first time I took the PS2 home to do better at school and then during the second time I got the PS3.

[probablyoliver]

I got pretty close to the end the first time round (had Reddas in my party, and was just making my way through the Pharos), but decided to start again as I realized I had an awful party and had done jack shit to get anything good, which brings me to now.

I'm at 110hrs playtime, I've finished all but 3 of the hunts (The Seer, Behemoth King and, of course, Yiazmat), I'm making my way through the hidden espers (albeit very slowly), playing through the Rare Game Hunt Club and trying to get all the super super weapons, and in all honesty - i've never enjoyed a game more. For me, it even surpasses VII. The only thing I find slightly annoying is the levelling up, as it does take seemingly forever, and it is a bitch when you start getting to the mid 70s, taking about half hour per level.

I just want to be in the 90s so I can wipe the entire slate clean of every nasty in the game.

[Liam]

I still haven't beaten it once. I got to the final boss and stopped giving a shit. >_>

That was my problem. Then I sold it >_>

[Ruki]

I was bored last night and read the history on the Tonberry....FEAR THEM!

[Benji]

I'd love for Gilgamesh to one day show up and reveal he's been a Tonberry all along

[probablyoliver]

FFXII Gilgamesh is the best thing in the world. Ever. Fact.

[Ruki]

FFXII Gilgamesh is the best thing in the world. Ever. Fact.

This is true....I loved how he went back for the sword after you defeated him.

But who would win? Tonberry or Gilgamesh?

[probablyoliver]

yeah, I really wanted that sodding sword too, it looked cool as.

[Benji]

Gilgamesh would kill 20-30 Tonberry's, then King Tonberry would stab him from behind, a victory for the little green dude!

[Ruki]

ALL HAIL THE TONBERRY KING~!

Show someone you love on Valentines Day by doinking them in the face.

[probablyoliver]

That was my favourite thing about FFVIII. Tonberry King and Cactaur King. They were beautiful.

Both of them asbsolutely awful GFs, but the fights were ace.

[Ruki]

The Tonberry GF was great just for the comedy!

Walking....walking....walking....walking.....expecting something epic....DOINK~!.....*sweat drop*

[Benji]

VIII did have some of the best non-essential boss battles in the entire series, though speaking of GF's, I always loved Eden, the idea of the "Garden of the Future" coming and helping you in battle was really quite clever.

[probablyoliver]

It was all about Doomtrain. That was ace.

It was a pain to get, mind.

[Ruki]

Doomtrain was pretty bad ass, but the two I used the most was Bahamut and Eden (I hated the long video....I loved the 35 000 damage)

[Skummy]

As I've said plenty of times, probably mostly in this thread, Jumbo Cactuar's 'tache was the best thing about FFVIII.

[Momo]

Fuck you Final Fantasy XII! Fuck you!

It got me interested again.

This is going to mean many a sleepless night, starting with the last. >_>

[apsham]

I sold XII and I'm never looking back, it was a fun and well put together game... but tedious as hell and I HATE the licensing system.

[GhostMachine]

What lvl range should my characters be at before trying to fight Zeromus or Exodus in XII? I haven't tried Exodus yet but have done the floatweed puzzle to get to him, and I wasn't even able to get Zeromus down to half before I got wiped out (the Dark Lords are a serious pain in the ass) when I tried to fight him.

[Sousa]

Both of them asbsolutely awful GFs, but the fights were ace.

Tonberry had some good support abilities, as I recall, but let's face it: that whole game was essentially a vehicle for Doomtrain. There was a period of time when I'd cue up "Crazy Train" every time I did that summon until I realized I was summoning him at the beginning of every fight. Still, if I could change one thing about that game, it'd definitely be to have Ozzy shout "ALL ABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARD! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!" every time you use that summon.

Getting him was the hard part, but remember that back in those days, that was how Squaresoft moved strategy guides. Show of hands, and be honest: how many of you motherfuckers got Knights of the Round on your own without any help from the Internet, strategy guides, etc.? And I'm talking the whole track--the chocobo breeding, the greens, the nuts, the secret island, everything.
