The trainer will always get the first balloon. So if you direct yourself to the second, you'll get that the the remaining ones.

Then follow the path on the outside right, going in and back out whenever birds are coming forth.

Thats how I did it, took me 3/4 tries.

Final Fantasy is called that for a reason: It's never final :P.

Anyways, I'm reviving my old file of Final Fantasy 10, and I'll get a MAINLY complete file: I'm not doing these:
The Lightning Dodge (mommy...)
The Chocobo thingy (You can't pay me to)

I'll do the rest though.

Todays progress: Massive progress, went from the Thunder Plains to home, and I became over-leveled in the process :) I have all but 2 primers from another data... but I don't quite know where to get S and T...

I think they can get up to XX, even though they seem to take more and more time making the newer games now.

So who knows, maybe it'll go on a lot longer.

I'll like it to go on as long as Square still have great ideas for future FF games. If they end up making nothing but shitty games, then I'd want them to stop.

Hopefully that will never happen.

My thoughts exactly. But i don´t think they will come out with shitty games...right?

True-blue FF fan here, I got em all!:D The first IV-V are a tad disapointing, VII is the best!:)

W00t beat Penance.
Then went and finished the game.
I love the ending, thankfully its piss easy to finish, so I might go complete it again just to watch Tidus slap hands with Jecht :).

Oh, I'm a lucky bastard too.
I was fighting Penance with the ultimate strategy so I couldn't lose. And I added my own shit so I was basically just owning him so bad.
But I had Yuna in my party, and you know how she mights more with full MP? Well I was able to leave her with 0MP after that attack he does - Rikku's Freedom X mix ;).

Anyway, she was only hitting 50,000 or just under 99,999 every now and then. And I was determined to Overkil him, else I'd have restarted cause I couldn't have lived with myself :P. So Yuna's turn is up and I'm thinking the end of the battle is nigh, and I decide I should keep her MP high now so I can Overkill Mr. P.
So I use Quick Pockets - Turbo Ether, then on her turn immediately after, Overkill : 99,999.
I'm a lucky bastard :D.

Eventually, they will have to think of a new name for it, I hardly classify FF 312412 as "Final"

Obviously you don't know why the first games was called "The Final Fantasy."

See, Square back in thise days was going broke, so they decided that they would make one more game, then give it up. The made a fantasy and called it "Final Fantasy" due to it being, as I said, their final game. It saved the company, and they're still milking it.

By the by, is anyone watching the Final Fantasy Retrospective over at GameTrailers? Rather informative thing, that.

So, what's everyone's favorite character design(s)? No, I don't mean personality or your favorite character, but in terms of the physical. Who's the coolest?

For me, it's:
Rikku (FFX-2) - Isn't it obvious? >.>;;;
Tidus (FFX) - A superb outfit, with many inricate details, cool pant/short combo and a nifty hoody.
Squall (FFVIII) - The jacket says it all, and his Gunblade adds to it.

I believe your forced to get a few, like in the tutorial, but yeah, that's the jist of it. It requires vast amounts of Rikku's Mix ability and items and status weapons.

Supposedly before the release of Final Fantasy VII, they were in near the same boat, with the console switch and all forcing them to make or break their next installment.

Jetch is piss no matter how much you've done on the Sphere Grid :P. With max stats I just toyed with him.

But you know that, so I'm sure you meant Penance... and yeah, I found him easy, but that was due to the tactics I used and getting into a routine. On my first few attempts I used Blitz Ace a lot, and as it delays your turn so bad, I cept getting slaughtered as the arms were regenerating at weird times. When I just used Quick Hits I knew where I was and what I had to do when :). It was very nice.

And on the monster arena bosses my Blitz Ace, etc did 99,999, so it was just the Dark Aeons... but the guides make it sound like it should be doing 99,999.

I'm buying a copy on Friday I believe :). Since I lost my old one :(.

Besides that its okay.

Or not... I can't remember :P.

Actually, there's a few more things wrong with X-2 such as the horrible music on it and the way the game was set out with this crappy chapters thing.

Ahh, the music was awful, but I'd put that in the girly catagory.
And Nobuo was absent wasn't he?
And the chapters wasn't really that bad, it wasn't as nice as a nice linear FF, but hey, they tried something new at least.

OH!! I just thought of a good question!

which FF was better?

4 or 6?

The Clash of the Snes FFs! (Aside from 5, which never came out on the US Snes.)

Personally, 6 manages to just be a little better than 4, They both are great, but 6 seemed longer and better.

in my opinion, i think FF6 was better. I liked the characters and the world more. There were many a character to choose from, and they were all pretty different. Overall, i think it was great - plus the music was badass.

Hey. Sorry for double post, but just wanted to ask....did anyone here ever play FF Crystal Chronicles for the gamecube? I did, but it wasn´t that great. I brought it thinking it would be better, but was a little dissapointed. I got all the way to the end boss but got stuck and didn´t feel like training any more so i left it there.....my gamecubes been in my basement for about 2 years now.
Well anyway, they´re bringing out a sequel for the DS. FFCC Tales of fate of some ballbags like that. I dunno what it´ll be like, but i think the main think it has going for it would be 4 player action.

And i just saw a trailer for FFXII Revenant Wings, and i must say it looks alot better than i thought. It actually looks pretty good. I´m thinking of buying it and stealing my sisters pink DS just to play it XD It´s sort of like FFT graphics, but with sweet cutscenes and fast paced battles.....looks good.

Comments?

I actually Liked Crystal Chronicles, though my disc kept erasing my files so I did an endurance for 4 days and beat it........then it didnt lose the memory since....I hate it for that.....

ellu! final fantasy maniac here lol i dont know what number i am..didnt want to read 800 someting pages :P but i love ff3 (i think ff5 in japan) ff7,8,9,10,10-2 sorta, but only becuase i hafent played the rest supid ps1 and ps2 broke ><

For me, it's:
Rikku (FFX-2) - Isn't it obvious? >.>;;;

Crystal Chronicles was a fun game to play. Never got a chance to play that game fully but it was an enjoyable experience. Which reminds me, I gotta find more action figures on Final Fantasy 9 characters. I heard they were quite rare to find but I think people could find them on Ebay. :/

uhm ff 10 DEFINATLEY! its just that awsome! yet im stuck on this one part cant beat boss i was too lazy to fight no lvl up....well if my ps2 works again i WILL restart ff 10 cuase its on awsome game!!!! i think so far the best if u dont count the classics like ff7 my favorite charecter is ....well its a 4 person stale mate between tidus auron sephiroth,and cloud man i type a lot

Final Fantasy. Woo!

Penance. Jecht has the strength of a Level 1 user with 2 posts and 4 B/P points.

Jetch is piss no matter how much you've done on the Sphere Grid :P. With max stats I just toyed with him.

It's fun to let him live and see some of his moves, isn't it?

Quick hits are always were it's at, with the odd Overdrive attack thrown in there. :P
How many attempts did it take to bring the beast down?

Mine would have to be
Jecht(FFX)- Like Tidus, but cool-looking. Not to mention that that scar of his helps his image.
Vincent Valentine(FFVII)- He looks like a vampire, except awesome. Nuff' said.
Fran(FFXII)- She's just smexy. Not to mention that her clothes look kickass.

Vincent's gauntlet was especially cool. Even moreso when you notice he never used it until Dirge Of Cerberus. Pure cosmetic, baby!

I don't see SE going out of business anytime soon, unless the next 453298549365230986302649386784396509 games they make are pure crap. Too many people buy their (few) terrible games for that to happen anyway, even if all they made were terrible games.

Nah, not really. X sucked pretty bad aside from Blitzball and the sphere grid everything else sucked about it. Tidus was a whiney bitch and Auron was already dead. I think it's nothing though compared to that complete waste of time which is VII. Lowest point in the series, period. Sephiroth was such a pushover of a boss. Not to mention Cloud and his clusterfuck personality that he stole. Worst ones in the series.

9.5/10, for sure.

Possibly the second best FF game I've played, it plays so much like VII, but with an even better system.

FF8 figures - i have this whole collection
ff8 cerberus
Zidane and Vivi figure - (i have another set the same as this with Steiner and Dagger but i can´t find a pic for it)

I got alot more shit including key chains, music CD´s, art books, post cards and more....

Holla! I have started a new FFT file today! How fast has anyone beaten FFT?
