This year's been buck wild for gamers and I haven't gotten anywhere near as many games beat as I want. I figure, there's two weeks left before the end of the year and I've got a bunch of time off, so I'm going to try to beat at least three of the following:

1. Nier: Automata (Currently on Route C)
2. Dark Souls 3 DLC (Just got to the first boss of ringed city)
3. Yakuza 0 (Think I'm on chapter 12)
4. Super Punch Out (This game loving rules and I want to beat it)
5. Final Fantasy 3 (Think I've got like two dungeons left before Kefka's Tower)

Post in here about your own 2017 goals, games that you want to play before 2018, or what the new year's going to look like for you

My main goals for the end of the year are to beat Persona 3 Portable (don't know if this is going to happen, I think I'm only about a third of the way through) and Mega Man 8 (definitely doable, I'm up to the Wily stages). For next year I want to dig into my intense backlog and really try not to start any new games until I've beaten a few of the ones I've already started. Hopefully by the end of January I'll be moved into my new house and my epic gamer den will be ready for action.

I'm stuck on this too. It's kicking my rear end.

If you really never beat FF6 I am legit jealous. That game is so great and the ending (especially the music) is :discourse:

Gau is awesome but you wouldn't know it unless you experiment with him for several hours or look up which 4 of his 500 rages are the good ones. The good ones are REALLY good, though.

the flowers you can fight in the painting in owzer's house are fuckin insane, IIRC its the only way to get charm in the game and can lock down 100% of enemies including bosses

I always liked how Jidoor has it's own town music for no discernable reason

Also a nice treat when most of the towns in the World of Ruin have the sad music, but once in a while you get surprised with the nice Kids Run Through the City music

I've beaten the game like 7 times and I have no clue who the feral blue magic guy is. The feral guy is Gau, but he's not blue and can't do magic. I guess Umaro is kind of blue but he doesn't do magic either.

I seriously have no idea who you could be talking about lol

I'm assuming he means Gau because he's feral and uses enemy abilities, like a blue mage does. Never mind the fact that there is an actual Blue Mage later in the game. Just my take on it.

It's Gau, "Blue Mage" is traditionally the Final Fantasy class that copies skills from enemies

i guess the big difference is you can't control what gau casts, while strago works more like a straight-up blue mage. gau is sort of like a berserker/mage combo, which is really cool, and hasn't been done since in a FF game that i know of.

realm is also like a blue mage, but far more useless unless you want to glitch the game
