Paracelsus posted:Scarcity leading to value is one of the assumptions of capitalism, but it's far from being the whole of the definition, and in any event predates capitalism by rather a lot. Ehh, I guess Consumerism would have been a better description, but that's also very unspecific. Elentor summed it up better, so

Does this count as fanart?  I just finished it today: This cross stitch took me about 6 months to do. It's about 8 inches wide and 11 inches tall, and 46 different colors. It was a huge pain, with there being lots of areas with just one or two stitches of a single color, and you may find a couple mis-colored stitches, but I think she turned out well! Thanks, Elentor, for an amazing LP! Yours is about the only one I actively search for updates.

I got the pattern from a website, but I can't remember the URL; I'll have to find it later. But she made patterns for all the FF7 and FF8 characters, as well as Sailor Moon and other anime. Thanks for the compliments! My next project is the Sophia painting from Xenogears; someone was kind enough to make a pattern of it for me. There goes another year of my life.

Was that done on 20 count? Some of the bigger stuff is impossible to do on 14 count because the canvas just doesn't come out big enough. That's good stuff, I've been meaning to do a full set of FF6 portraits, but they're miles easier being 16-bit n'all

It was done on 18-count, which I found is pretty good for me. I did find the website (http://superstitch.110mb.com/) but it doesn't seem to be working anymore, or at least not at the moment. But spritestitch.com is a good one for other Final Fantasy stuff.

I was going to send you a message but you don't have PM. I've only been working on smaller ones, like some Scott Pilgrim sprites, but I'm starting work on doing an old Atari 8-Bit title screen, will probably do some more after. Somebody did a stitch of the Zelda: A Link to the Past light world map which was pretty ace.

 Last time Taft got her 7th and last level. Also backstory and gently caress theme parks I guess.  Entering Gongaga starts a fight with the Turks. This fight gives EXP, so sadly no Fairy Tale, Titan, Mystify, or explanation as to why Rude won't punch Taft to death. Instead I'll have to have her kill herself next time they actually fight. It's like Romeo and Juliet, except with grenades and theft.  It's scripted. I have to fight things here.  Yeah, it's the place where the Study of Planet Life beg-  I've played this game a half-dozen times jackass!   Rex's backstory is alarmingly similar to Aerated's. Parents died protecting him, so he's the last of his kind.  I buy CLOUD and Aerated new weapons, for the extra link and magic.  And this is why I got so much Ether money. HP Plus is a very important Materia.  It's a substantial boost to survivability.   Taft that's not how space works you idiot you've not been able to even see the sky for the past five years what the hell  That's two words, what is this the idiocy chamer?  Ice T executed his first pig here.  Anyway since I'm keeping Taft at level 7 forever and I only have one free slot, Aerated gets a break for once.  The holes that aren't the switch have no-run encounters. The hole with the switch was the last one I checked.   These spikes are actually helpful.  They put Rex Ronan and Taft on death's door for me. Except Taft was already dead so the spikes jolted her to life.  OH BOY WHAT FUN  No seriously I love Added Effect. When I get swank-rear end lategame materia like Contain it'll be superfun.  So. These spiders. I have to fight two of them.  Their only really dangerous attack is their percentile damage one, and that fills CLOUD's limit break for a Cross Slash. They're open to Stop and Paralyze so this guy doesn't move that much.   I think Elentor was still in the Shinra building when he hit this level.  The second one gets shrunk by Mini. Transform works wonders sometimes.  Then it gets really goofy when frog kicks in.  The Gi Nattak's flames cast Fire2 sometimes. I don't want a random one to be the end of CLOUD.  Shinra has great othrodontists you know.   And that was a boss!  CLOUD hits level 12, hopefully his last for a while.  Hell yeah it was. Taft and Rex Ronan have been dead for like 20 minutes.  "In his day he was also an Experimental Surgeon. He used a radical science called 'anesthesia'."  And so Rex Ronan gets a silly weapon that actually makes his attack the highest in the party but who cares, really? It won't help him fight Blackburn's microbots.

I love this thread and the updates from both of you. I'm a dummy, though, so I don't understand "Entering Gongaga starts a fight with the Turks. This fight gives EXP, so sadly no Fairy Tale, Titan, Mystify, or explanation as to why Rude won't punch Taft to death. Instead I'll have to have her kill herself next time they actually fight.". Have I forgotten a love storyline where you won't let Rude kill Tifa?

Can you, say, stop the buggy, walk to Cosmo Canyon to trigger dialogue, then just go back to the buggy without doing the Cave of Gi? Or will the buggy break down no matter what until the whole sequence is completed? I suppose you'd be leaving Red XIII behind, but no big loss...

On my first playthrough, my buggy never broke down because I saw Cosmo Canyon, said, "hey, a town!", and went the rest of the way on foot without triggering the breakdown. It wasn't until my second playthrough that I saw the event. Replay value! ArchWizard fucked around with this message at 00:48 on May 11, 2012 |

It wasn't until my second playthrough that I saw the event. That's weird, because the first time I played I managed to skip by Cosmo Canyon too. But when I got to Nibelheim none of the scripts went off. I could stay in the inn, and bum around the town, but nothing would happen. I finally looked up a guide, went back to Cosmo Canyon, and everything picked back up, but I don't think it's possible to continue the story without doing the cave of Gi.
