I recently started playing FFIX again and thought "What would happen if I tried to play tetra master without 5 cards?" So first NPC I see I try, it was the nobleman in Alexandria and he said something like "You need 5 cards to play my boy!" I decided to try on another npc, and they said something completely different. I challenged every NPC in Alexandria and most have something unique to say if you don't have 5 cards.



I'm a huge flavor text person, and I'm considering going through the game without 5 cards and seeing what everyone says.

Wow, I didn't realize FFXIV was really that bad. I mean, how bad does a game have to be for a company to turn around and completely change it? I'd expect in today's industry they'd go "Oh it sucks? Well deal with it, thanks for the money suckers, be sure to buy FFXV!"

Um.. wow. For me this has to be the worst outfit I've seen. Its like she's wearing a corset, panties, a cape, and you remember back in the day how kids would use the arms of their jackets to wrap their jacket around their waist? It looks like she did that then cut off the entire backside of said jacket. I can't even tell what the gently caress is supposed to be on her arms.

I tried that game with Sharla from Xenoblade. The only way to win is not to play.

(Seriously, finding Sharla some pants was a game-spanning quest that never quite reached a conclusion)

I think she spent pretty much the entire game in a bikini in my game till I decided to stop caring about stats and put some pants on her.


But seriously, Lightning's outfit. Its like she stepped out of a BDSM club and decided to go adventuring without going home to change clothes.

A part of me likes to imagine that FFVIII ended at the end of disc 2, after the Garden vs Garden fight. Edea was really killed, Galbadia garden was routed and everyone lived happily ever after.

I almost thought that last screenshot had a pretty decent outfit, until I noticed the visible thong. What the hell is wrong with these people? In XIII-2, the only decent outfit for Serah, the White Mage robe, was paid DLC. Her default outfit was awful, and the less said about the swimsuit the better.

I'm surprised they had enough restraint to only show one cup of her bra instead of going all out and just removing her shirt.

That's supposed to be Bartz? Are you serious? I thought this was Faris cause it almost looks like he has breasts, and the face is androgynous enough to pass for a woman pretending to be a man.

Well, that is assuming you didn't see the screenshot that did have Faris in it.

The only other interesting part was wrestling the jetpack guy as you tumble out of the escape hatch and there are suddenly hundreds of people sword fighting in the background. Fun but not near enough to make up for stupid and/or boring the rest of the game has been.

The Garden VS Garden fight was the best, really you should pretend that the end of disc 2 is where Final Fantasy 8 really ends.

If you look hard enough, for some reason there are two SeeDs who each "kill" a galbadian soldier but for whatever reason their swords are missing :confused:

EDIT: Since I got nothing better to do



To the left and above the guy that is on his hands and knees, the one standing over the galbadian. He is currently in the motion where he'll swing his sword arm sans sword behind and above him and stab down into the galbadian. It amuses me everytime I see it. I can't get a picture of the SeeD stuffing his arm into the galbadian's gut cause the youtube video doesn't linger around that scene.

Or maybe its just showing that Zell isn't the only person in Balamb that uses his fist :v:

Gamestop was not selling FF13 used for $20 less than two weeks after release. A smaller store may have done that but you've had games that were recieved as bad as cancer that Gamestop was selling for $55 months after release. Christ, they're still selling FFXIII-2 for $20 new/$17.99 used.

It probably dropped in price quickly, that much is inarguable, but that isn't necessarily a sign of "everyone rushed to return it." Final Fantasy games tend to drop in price pretty quickly by default. Final Fantasy XII actually was down to $20 within 6 months, but that was because Square-Enix rushed out a Greatest Hits $20 version within 6 months of the original's release. They're not games that hold their value long.

Gamestop isn't the best for determining how well received a game is, I bought FFXIII like a year or two after release for 50 bucks new. If I went to Amazon first I could of grabbed it for like 20 dollars.

Yuna's VA is actually alright in X-2. Something about X-Era Yuna just ruins her. Maybe they *told* her to sound that awkward?

I'm sure I read somewhere that the VA was awkward in X cause the actress was trying to sync up to the game's lip syncing since SE didn't bother reworking the lip syncing for X, but they did for X-2?

Isn't the reason SE wont do a remake of FF7 not only the fear of loving it up, but there is a bunch of self imposed extra work needed cause I guess its hard for a multi billion dollar company to buy a spare hard drive, drag all the game files onto it and label it "FF7 data, DON'T THROW AWAY (Sell in event of impending bankruptcy)" and they don't have any of the original files?

I remember that in III a girl invites you in for some puff-puff and asks you to relax and close your eyes as the screen goes black. After a bit of puffin' you open your eyes and you see her dad, the best puff-puffer in town.


Also as far as sexual acts and their nicknames go, I'm pretty sure Puff Puff barely registers as "pretty weird" even if you don't go outside the US. :v:
