It is apparent that the Square/EA release of the American Final
Fantasy X has an AP limit/cap that has been added. The cap in the
Japanese version was so high that you reached the max S. Level of 99
way before you reached the max. I don't know why Squaresoft purposely
went and hunted this out when it is only available during the late
stages of the game and regardless is a legit use of the combination of
processes programmed into the game. I never could have foreseen that
the localization team would remove a little trick that I found while
messing around in late July. Ultimately, we should be grateful that
Square has provided us with another excellent Final Fantasy game
rather than gripe about the removal of a leveling trick. Please
remember that the Cap only limits certain overdrive methods. Because
of that, the AP TRICK STILL EXISTS IN A DIFFERENT FORM.

The short answer to the overall question is that the AP Trick as it
was once known does not work in the American Final Fantasy X. What I
will provide are alternative methods. The first alternative is fast.
The second alternative is slower but is automated so you can sit and
let it do the work for you similar to the way the Japanese AP Trick
worked.

Apparently the cap on the AP Trick was only targeted by Squaresoft
for my particular AP Trick. The Loner (Solo/Alone) overdrive and the
Ally overdrive method are the ones that are capped (coincidence? I
think not). Apparently Hero is capped as well.

--------Don Tonberry Method (aka American Alternative 1)---------

*This method can be done the earliest in the game of any method
available. It also yields more AP consistently than the Cactaur King
method. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, this has been thoroughly
tested by myself and contributors.*

quote:

****If you are playing FFX and you want to know what method of gaining
a lot of AP can be done the EARLIEST IN THE GAME, it is the Don Tonberry
method. The Don Tonberry method can be done as soon as you get to Mt.
Gagazet for the first time! The Don Tonberry Method is great for people
who can't get past Mt. Gagazet Seymour and Yunalesca!****

quote:

----------------------King Cactuar Trick----------------------------

*This method is good, but it is not better than the Don Tonberry method.
King Cactuar has a randomness factor that could result in you dying
before you even get to anything about 100,000 AP. It consistently yields
less average AP than the Don Tonberry method*

quote:

I'm adding the King Cactuar method (by popular demand). It is very similar
to the Don Tonberry method. Keep in mind that it can't be done very early
in the game. You'll definitely need to be late enough in the game to
travel freely and it doesn't yield as much AP on average.

[quoting dune297]"they did an AMAZING job to me"
In what way did they do an amazing job?
Im am loving this game too, im playing it a lot now that I can go online BUT, comparing this to the first TDU and the TDU2 falls short all over the place, so how did they do "an AMAZING job"?

dune297 posted:

In my opinion, you sir don't understand the concept of "opinions". In my opinion, they did an amazing job. If you disagree with my opinion, that is your opinion, and does not contradict with my opinion at all.

The game isn't half baked to me, or my friend, or my other friend, or my other other friend, and that's all that matters to us. If we feel that it isn't half baked, then it isn't to us, and it doesn't matter the problems others are experiencing, because for all we know, that can be on their end.

Lots of people not being able to play is a problem, but once again, is not a problem to me, or my friends, and frankly, that's all that matters to us. So in my opinion, this game is AMAZING. My friends love it too, and in our opinions Eden did an amazing job.

You are saying the devs are great because you are not affected by the problems? Don't you think thats a little narrow minded?
Honestly, this is a bit extreme but, with that logic you might as well say the n@zi's where not bad people as they did not hurt you as a person, sure a lot of jews got killed but you where never touched by one so they are no problem in your book right?

I didn't say I think the devs are great because I have no problems, I think the devs are great because they released a game I think is great, so therefore I respect them. Other people might not respect them. Same with the ♥♥♥♥'s. I'm Jewish myself, and I absolutely hate them. Some of my family has fought and died in WW2, so no, I do not have the same take on the ♥♥♥♥♥. Some people do though, because they have a different belief. Although I don't respect them at all, I understand that they believe something different, no matter how absurd and evil it may be.

I've been watching someone on youtube play through this game (while I play a different game). This game exploits the charm of old America (circa 1911) to sell itself and make the game environment interesting and enjoyable, but at the same time it trashes white people for racism. It also promotes race mixing and shows blacks oppressed by whites. There's also racist posters and other such things which I thought were funny. You play a white man who shoots lots of white men who are defending their race. The game was created by a jew, Ken Levine.

The thing is, while this game bashes white people for racism, white people themselves are currently being discriminated against through affirmative action and are being beaten up by blacks in schools and in public. Also the jews are bringing in non whites as fast as possible into white countries and giving them government benefits. So jews are trying to destroy the white race.

There's no way I'll ever buy this game. I won't donate my money to jewish propaganda. White people need to stop contributing their money to things like this. Every race is racist. Every race wants to be on top. But the jews single out the white race for persecution in their jewish media.

I wish the 1911 steam punk game environment had been coupled with a story that is positive for the white race. This crap was totally unnecessary.

The most racist people on earth are orthodox jews, but there's no game about killing racist jews in a jewish utopia, or in israel. That's because jews control most of the video game industry, another avenue for them to control public thinking.

There should be a game about jews and the evil things they do and have done.

It makes me sick that white people on the internet praise Bioshock Infinite even though it was made as an attack on their own race. Jews would be outraged if a game like this had been made about them, but white gamers just pay money to Ken Levine and lap it up like it's the greatest thing ever.

How Skyrim relates to today's world

Does anyone else notice how the world in that game reflects the situation of today's world?

First off:

-The Nords do not control their country any longer, which is why they have a civil war, and the Stormcloaks are like the Stormfront of Skyrim. Skyrim is at risk of being flooded with dark elves, redguards (blacks), and other non-Nords.

-The "Great War", which took place before the events of skyrim, is the equivalent of World War 2. The Aldmeri Dominion (Zionists) won, and now puppeteer Skyrim's government

-As a result of the Aldmeri victory, there is harsh political correctness rampant in Skyrim, with some Nords who hate their own race and homeland and fight for the Altmer controlled Empire (Brunwulf Free-Winter in Windhelm would be a libtard for sure).

-The Altmer Supremacists, also known as the Thalmor, have even outlawed the worship of Talos, a traditional Nord god and hero. (Relates to real world ie. attacks on traditional values)

Does any of this sound familiar? The only difference between this world and Skyrim, is that they have progressed farther down the road to another war to attempt to gain freedom, which I wouldn't be surprised if we see in our lifetimes.

Anti-Stormcloak is a code word for Anti-Nord.

Mass pro-immigration mind control in Bioshock 3

There is a disturbing trend in gaming nowadays. Project Mockingbird seems to be alive and well and has infected the gaming industry. Granted, Bioshock had a heavy jewish influence from the beginning, but the third installment is overtly serving the agenda to subvert our country and its patriots by making our forefathers and history into symbols of hate and intolerance.

It's as bad as Blackwater (Xi) being woven into Americas western mythology in Red Dead Redemption.

BioShock (video game) and Mind-Control themes...

For years various symbolism and mind-control themes have been present in movies. But now, as computing technology is becoming increasingly powerful - video games are gaining the ability to contain these mind-control themes.

BioShock is absolutely drenched in symbolism and mind-control triggers, and the games excessively oppressive atmosphere forms the perfect environment for such a thing.

I just enjoy the hysterical leftist wanna-be gender police acting like the far right morality police and attempting to exert influence over a medium that they know absolutely nothing about. Like the Parents Television Council or whatever the group was that tried to get D&D banned, since the SJWs don't enjoy video games (because they view them as "masculine" and hence driven by evil white, straight, cis-males) they are determined to destroy them. I'm not really upset because the more they shriek and flail their arms like toddlers, the faster their movement falls apart.

It's just too bad that there are real problems with gaming and gender that need to be addressed, but while the non-gamer gender police patrol the internet trying to bully everyone into submission they are actually driving people away from their cause. Game companies are starting to realize that for all the hysteria on tumblr, twitter, and web forums, these SJWs don't actually buy video games and all of their wailing has zero effect on game sales. If anything, they stir controversy that brings more attention to games with problematic messages.

Well, I bought Gone Home on steam for $10 and was disappointed in how the game marketed itself deceptively as a creepy and suspenseful mystery only to have a pro-Gay agenda in the end -- which I picked up on early, but brushed it off until I got to the end -- thinking that there might have been some supernatural presence in the game that was behind everything and the "gay" elements were just a sub-plot that could be easily ignored and would have no bearing on the overall story.

Basically, you return home after being overseas and the house is empty. There is no action in the game; it's basically just exploration to find out where everyone is -- walking around and examining certain items to unlock diary entries that allow you to progress further. The game did have a creepy atmosphere; with a thunder storm outside and the house creaking and moaning all the time. 

That, coupled with the all the books you find lying around about the paranormal and an ouija board, is what made me conclude that a supernatural presence might be behind everyone's disappearance. Boy, was I wrong.

In short: the story is about a confused teenage Lesbian who meets another girl and falls in love; who then runs away from her oppressive and bigoted Christian parents (as evident by all the Bibles you find around the house) to be together with her lover. All the paranormal books (ouija boards etc) the you find only serve as markers of the progressive lifestyle Lesbians tend to follow; they tend to embrace nearly everything that can be considered the anti-thesis of Christianity.

I would say based on that alone, not to bother buying it; but I think I'm more annoyed at the fact It was an impulse buy and I allowed myself to be suckered in under the impression I was about to play an atmospheric and supernatural horror game (which is what it felt like at the start) only to have some Liberal LGBT agenda in the end.

I'm sorry, but Star Wars is and always has been anti-White. In fact the Star Wars films are some of the first popular media I can even think of that was truly anti-White, which is also probably why it is so much less severe than what you see today. 

The primary antagonist was a negro in whiteface, for Christ's sake.

The Empire (forgive me if I get my terminology a bit wrong here, I really don't know or care to know exactly the proper names of everything) clearly represents White Fascists. The rebellion represents anarchy and chaos. Notice how they are very willing to recruit -- and are largely comprised of -- non-Whites, thieves and other criminals, even non-human aliens, and these are the protagonists. Star Wars, ever since I was old enough to understand symbolism and its role in Hollywood, always reeked of "jewish hero/saviour fantasy" to me, right along the same line as popular comic books. Granted they may have been fantastic films, but that does not preclude them from being anti-White.
