The other day I was working at it, and about the fourth time I was being told that I couldn't breed chocobos that were just born or had recently mated I was about to yell, "I don't care, just make them breed!" Then I stopped. And I realized. I am Hojo.

What is the item list for the battle square? I would rather stack Speed Plus on my guys than go for the limit.

Clearly the chocobo breeding was inspired by Fire Emblem 4.

Nakar posted:Bahamut? Bitch please. Atomos. Granted, you have to farm Amethysts and it doesn't work on bosses, but hey, it's a 9999. I actually don't know why I took Eiko...had 10k from both Frog Drop AND Dragon's Crest. Oh, and Thievery, but that would have been lame, you know? EDIT: Is it actually okay to talk preferences within an FF  ? In fact, every character in FF9 owns, so there's no right answer to that question except for the Bahamut rule, of course.

He hasn't been around lately, but Clevinger is actually a member of the forums under the name Hyperactive. It took about a year for me to realize that he was the same guy from 8 bit Theatre. Which reminds me that I was the voice of Fighter for a feed the needy charity commercial that played at my high school. I cringe thinking about how stupid I sounded at the end when I told everyone to "Donate your shinies!" Just played Chocobo Hot and Cold for the first time this play through, and it's just as fun as I remembered. I forgot how much I loved this game after almost twelve years. And special shout out to The White Dragon for his LP making this run through a little bit more magical. Sorry for the derail. I'm more of a casual FF fan, so I've never bothered with the non-LP threads.

Just caught up with this thread and wanted to express my love for that cutscene where Cloud confronts Sephiroth in the basement library, and Sephiroth just beans him with a materia and flies away like superman.

 Last time I skimmed over the most important part of the story and blew something up.  Jack White chose the colors red, white, and black for the White Stripes as he said it is the most powerful combination of colors. Coca-Cola and Nazi Germany were his examples. I find myself agreeing.  I loving suck at joining the march.   I kinda like how this game gives so many choices that don't really matter.  I buy a Revive materia just in case. Also that -5% HP might make Taft easier to kill.  I also get some tranquilizers in case I need the damage reduction for a gambit.  I need all of these man, all of these. Enemy Skills are some of the greatest things.  I also get this then not use it for the part I should've.   poo poo I failed.  The Force Stealer being the top reward makes no sense logistically.  This is available later and costs more. 5800 more.  Yeah I don't either man.  On the boat I tell the girls their ideas suck.  Anyway I take the only crew I really can and give Aerated the HP Plus materia, showing how the thing is so loving valuable that I had to reset and game the system to get it.  I should've used the headband for this, but I still get a set of Shinra Betas.  Oh boy, by the time I get Yuffie I can get her her ultimate weapon, so this is free money!  LIME GREEN THEN BOSS BATTLE  JENOVA-Birth has a shitton of HP compared to previous bosses and her attacks are starting to sting. Stop would probably have been devistating if Aerated didn't dodge both of them. God bless you Aerated.  I bust out the summons and limits at the start in an attempt to beat her down quick.  It didn't go so well.  However, at times her powerful attacks ended up aiding me. Mostly by killing Taft and CLOUD and indicating she's not casting Stop on Aerated this turn. Not like she had the MP for a third cast anyway.  ATB management, knowing the boss, shittons of grenades.  Aerated finally picks up Seal Evil and hits level 11.  Costa Del Sol only has a few things of interest.  400 ethers? No way.  But the ring's free. This will be incredibly handy in the future, I can just feel it.  I buy a few of these in case I need more damage than a grenade can provide in a pinch. I should've known they'd be instantly outdated.  I keep 4 of each status healing item on hand, don'tcha know?  For Mt. Corel I go with earth tones and beige! Browns and beige! Light browns and dark browns and browns and beige!  Mt. Corel is so earth-toned the lens flare is green.  Bombs, a FF classic.  I steal their arms.  I steal so many I bring along Rex Ronan, as he has 4 levels over Taft so he can steal slightly better.  I uh... I don't know why I get so much of the treasure.  This bridge is an important screen.  It's mostly Bombs for arm theft.  Except for the pincher attacks. Getting out of this one is annoying.  I just have no idea why this is the top reward.  BARREL CAME FROM TOWN  THEN TOWN EXPLODE  gently caress this backstory poo poo I'm gonna go play games.

I'm sure I've said it before, but green lens flare screen is hands-down THE defining screen of the game for me. I think FF7, that's the very first thing that comes to mind.

Yeah it's simple, but considering that every other FF minigame is "simple + awful controls for the sake of making things harder (when they're not inane poo poo like frog-catching or lightning-dodging)," then I'll take CH&C any day.

CH&C has almost every mini game detail that would make me hate it, and yet I love it. Maybe because it enabled my world map wanderlust.

Fun fact: if you get attacked from behind, your characters will take double damage while they're facing away from the enemy. But you can fix this by holding down the run buttons for just a second, and afterwards they'll be facing the right way again.

A guide, if only because it has the math done for me so I know who to render comatose in boss battles. Since the solution for most of these bosses is dead Taft with Aerated alive I don't use it that much.

FAT WORM OF ERROR posted:That's just cosmetic, they still take the double damage. Actually, I'm pretty sure that in VII, that's just what happened with back-attacks, and you will take less damage once you turn around. It has nothing to do with your overall defense for the battle, for the same reason that you only take increased damage in pincer attacks from enemies that you aren't facing. Once you face the enemy it's not that big of a deal that you got back-attacked. The only real annoyances in back-attacks are that your ATB gauge starts empty and the rows are swapped for each character.

Yeah, it's definitely not cosmetic. Air Buster, the boss that you fight in a pincer, takes double damage if you attack its rear.

FAT WORM OF ERROR posted:http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Back_Attack_Glitch That's... not right. You definitely take double damage when attacked from behind. The glitch is that pressing L1 and R1 turns you around visually, but you're still considered to be facing the other way mechanically, so you'll still take double damage from the first attack against you (unless you act first). E: I see that's actually what you said initially, but it's not what the wiki says. Zandar fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Apr 18, 2012 |
