Just got Dissidia. Haven't played it yet but I will give you my thoughts on it later.
I want to get back to this to finish up the later stories, great game for Final Fantasy fans.  I loved how much time Firion and The Emperor got in the story.

Dissidia's great, and it's extremely long if you play all the stories.
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

So guys, tell me what you think about this challenge for FFIX

https://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/197338-final-fantasy-ix/faqs/41181

I struggle to believe that is even remotely possible but the sadistic masochist inside of me wants to actually attempt it.

Sounds like a guide for people with an unhealthy fixation on the game.  At the point of someone doing that, it is just following a technical manual to perform tedious tasks aimed at meaningless goals.  You would have to really love the game to even think about it, but when you're following instructions to that level of detail you're just being a machine.

I have no fucking clue but from what I've seen watching youtube vids, you skip through all the dialogue as fast as you can and skip all the ATE's (except the ones that aren't skipable) and use the amv trick (the one that doesn't count the timer during them) and just get through the game as fast as fucking possible.

The thing is, this guide also says doing the whole game straight from level 1, all the way to Excaliber II. That is madness.

I created my character tonight and have been playing it all night basically. It's pretty fun once you get into it, Im not sure whether or not I'm going to buy it. I probably will eventually.
Do you have a PS3, maybe you can wait for that release to play it?

Fuck that.

But I remember thinking I was pretty badass as a little kid for losing no matches of the card game whatsoever and completing all of the chocobo stuff like getting mognet central and what have you. And beating that one hidden guy before the last boss to get....crap, I don't even remember  :lol

So I guess FF14 has a lot of blatantly copy/pasted terrain?

Funny thing is I was reading a thread on this on a FF14 forum, and the fanboys were saying that anyone that gets upset over this are just shallow for caring about graphics over gameplay  :lol

It's true, I once went back to reinstall the game and discovered the CDs were just hardened poop (no idea how I never noticed that before). It then proceed to hit on me.

So I just realized.

Quina is a Qu.

Qu is supposed to be pronounced as Ku, at least if we are to believe the katakana...

Ku is japanese for "eat".

FFXIII is the first one I'm playing through all the way and it will also be my last. At this point I'm not even playing it because it's a great game, but merely because of the grand scale and I'm too involved at this point. Much better games in the genre out there.

Do NOT let XIII ruing the entire series for you. Play one of the other classic ones before you give up on it.

The dialog in this thread is as predictable as it is poor.

And yet it still manages to be way better than the dialog in FFXIII.

To be fair, I can count the number of games on one hand that don't have painful dialog.

Speaking of dozens, here is a game that will kill you really quick. Take a shot every time Snow uses the word hero and it makes you cringe. After a dozen minutes you'll be dead.
