I dunno, I liked Quistis. Even though her limit break was kinda useless.

Quina I could take or leave, but I liked him/her back when I was a child.

I too liked Quistis. But yeah, her limit was just as bad as Selphies - which was only good when you got aura in the early stages of the game.

Quina was just silly imo.

As a character Quistis is fine, but her battle animations are so slow. Or at least seem that way.
It's why Selphie is great: quick step - slap - done!

Secret of Mana is the best Final Fantasy game.

No. No it's not. It's a Final Fantasy. But Secret of Mana was an awesome game. Anyone else played it?

Troll harder.

been killing Magic Pots for two hours, and i'm leveling a little slower than i thought. maybe it's because i mostly get a winged-eye ambush, but anyways: at what level should i fight the WEAPONS? i know Emerald's level 99 and Ruby's 80, but do i really have to be that leveled to beat them?
either way, i know i'm spamming the FUCK outta Knights of The Round of them.

Get EXP Plus materia!

If one of them is level 99 and the other two are at least level 80, that should be good enough. Well, that's if you've been stat raising with the sources (e.g. Power Source). The best way to get them is to morph monsters in the Gelnika.

now just where can i find this interesting-sounding materia?
i know i can get sources from morphing the Gelnika monsters, but i'll leave that for later.

i just beat Emerald WEAPON without the Underwater materia.
now for Ruby- i'll need some Dazers....

I did everything perfectly so many times even doing the same thing my brother did when he got them, so many tries and yet I can never ever get a gold chocobo not even once on it...........

God hates me.

when you're going to breed a wonderful yellow chocobo withthe black chocobo, are you selecting the black one first? are you sure you've won enough races with them?

i've beaten Ruby AND finished the game. i was rather disappointed with the final boss and the mano-a-mano fight at the end. thought they were too weak, and i didn't even use summons.
i DID like the ending though, real cliffhanger and worthy.
about to start VIII now.

Of course the Final Boss was weak. You had trained up to fight Ruby and Emerald, the challenge bosses. The Final Boss was made for people who hadn't done that sort of training, i.e. almost everyone who played the game.

well this thread lost it's breath for a few days.
anyways, i'm on Disc 2 of VIII. to be honest, i couldn't beat Edea back when i was younger, but i did it easily this time.
and does anyone know why some of my characters draw less magic than others (Ex.: Squall draws 6 Hastes-average, Quistis draws 3-average)?

P.S.: why is Squall SO COOL? for some reason, everybody (myself included) likes him.

Wut?

Also, get all characters to lvl 100 and beat the last Jenova fight with Knights of the Round. Than the final boss is hard.

I think it's because he's probably the most masculine male character in the 3D games. Thank god it's not his original design (Which was put in Dissidia and made him completely gay).

and what's his original design like? y'know, that makes him gay?
also, i'm in FH, and i love how this place has some of the funniests moments i've seen on the game: the cat-loving middle-aged man that is quickly renamed "Psycho", the concert scenes.....
and i'm about to get Balamb Garden as the airship. help me god.

"Initially, Squall was given longer hair and a more feminine appearance. However, Yoshinori Kitase felt that this design did not work, asking Nomura to shorten his hair and make him look more masculine. This lead to the final design of Squall seen in-game. Aspects of Nomura's first design, however, can be seen in his Kingdom Hearts appearances where his hair is shoulder length; and in Dissidia in relation to his clothing."

Picture below of what he looks like in Dissidia. Horrible, I know.

All I can say is, get rid of it as fast as possible. Any sidequests that require long trips with that piece of shit are not worth it and can wait until you get the Ragnarok, which is awesome because it has an auto-pilot function.

I wouldn't say Squall is masculine by any means. He'll always remind me of David Beckham during his intense metrosexual phrase. But in terms of character I'd say he's quite masculine. He starts off whiny as hell but he develops into a class leader. The invasion of Balamb is one of my favourite moments in a FF.

A couple of years ago VIII was considered one of the series' best, now it seems it one of the series' least favourites. Doesn't make sense to me, especially since the last few installments have only gone on to prove how much better the PS1 era was.

Back when it was more about Story then über graphics. Not saying that I didn't like the newer ones, but Story wise, XII or XIII, didn't do it as much for me as VII,VIII or IX.

ugh. whose brilliant idea was to put fur on his pants? but it doesn't look all THAT different, though.

oh yes, i certainly AM going to get rid of it as fast as possible. too bad i have to wait until Disc 3, fuck.

It still was, to some degree, about 'uber graphics' at the time. Final Fantasys were still praised for being extremely beautiful back then as well.

yeah, VIII for example. it's FMVs are in the same level of quality as most PS2 graphics (excluding high-res ones, of course).

i just got Tonberry, and i'm amazed at the abilities he can learn. Move-HP-Up? Sell High, Haggle, Call Shop and Familiar? how much more awesome can this get?
i'mma go slaughter a bunch of Cactuars for the AP.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
i've JUST reached the most EPIC moment in the game, where Squall is fighting the Paratrooper in the air, and when i save Rinoa and run to the left, the game froze. i tried again twice, and it still froze.
oh god, please don't tell me the disc isn't gonna work anymore.
