Looks like no one plays FEAR. I don't play it, that's one thing. I can' t even touch Doom. Anything in the scary league, please leave me out :|

By the way, i think the header image for this website is really cute :P Look at Squall's puzzled look on his face, staring at Sephy's behaviour :lol:

I played the demo for Xbox 360 and was massively disappointed. Maybe it is better on PC but I can't be bothered to try it out now.

I haven't played it on the 360, but I own it for PC and it is not disappointing. The enemy AI is the best ever. They are alot of fun to fight against. The game is really really creepy and has a fantastic atmosphere. Graphically, it is very good

I wonder what made that PS3 launch title "Resistance: Fall of Man" did have a great score on Famitsu when all FPS should be on the PC because of the innovative controls that Half Life has GREATLY contributed on the FPS genre.

Do yourself a favor and be sure to pick up Shadow of the Colossus. A truely unique and beautiful gaming experience. Do not buy the strat guide. If you read that, it will ruin the fun of figuring out how to kill each beast

right... not a few years, just a year. But the thing is, the local stores hardly even keep games that are already a few months old. maybe i'll have to get it through ebay or something, hope i can fetch a good price.

The game isn't too rare. We are not talking about Digital Devil Saga here (which I FINALLy found after months of searching today. I had to buy it). It should go for a decent price. Used, it would run ou about 17 USD in Gamestop

Unfortunately, I only have the regular edition of Final Fantasy XII ordered and I still don't have it. I canceled my pre-order of my Collector's Edition from the other site that I ordered. As for rare games, I manage to complete the Shadow Hearts series despite of it's rarity. And I found a copy of ZOE2 at a shopping mall here for an inflated price of $65 (converted from Philippine peso) :(

hmm... actually, i've beat the Japanese version :D So, feel free to ask any questions :P No other way to attack faster.... hmm, i'm not quite sure what you meant. But, there is an upgrade later in the license grid, allowing you to "cut action time by 10%". Not a lot, eh? lol. Rely on the Gambits! I think you're getting beaten up simply because of your gambits settings. Do something about it lol :lol:

That or you might not be leveling up enough. Keep in mind that this game is significantly more challenging than previous incarnations of FF

:D tee heex... levelling doesn't really help much i believe. One level up gives a few percentage increase in HP and MP levels, and nothing else. No adding of atk, def, magic, etc stats.

If you're havin trouble in the game with certain enemies, i woud say that you're UNDER-LICENSED, not under-leveled, lol. That, because most of the upgrading of stats can be done through the license board, and your atk/def/magic stats only increase with the weapons/equipment you have. And you need to get licenses for better weapons/equipment. lol.

P.S: And why are we talking about Final Fantasy in an off-topic thread ?? :? we can't resist sometimes, lol

It helps alot more than you think. Level up 2 or 3 times. Try to beat Judge Ghis with a level 10 party. It is hard. Try to beat him with a level 13 party. It is managable. Only 3 levels of difference

hey! i beat him at lvl 13 too! lol. With top notch equipment :P 3 levels is quite a lot of hp if i have to say. Still, i rather spend time killin more monsters for more LP, than spend more time killin massive monsters to get more exp. But, it all helps if you just don't run away from any enemy. You'll get the correct amount of LP and EXP for that certain part of the game. Of course, leveling is important, there's no way i could have beaten Yazmat if i were lvl 90 and below lol.

:| Try getting into a mob hunt or something. I think there's something for you to kill there. For one, i didn't spend time doing mass leveling or LP-hunting until i got to uhh....somewhere much later in the game [location not to be disclosed for fear of spoilers]. I think i spent too much time on chocobos, skipped quite a number of maps without killin any monsters.

it isn't too difficult after which you can get a double exp item. It's just that i'll have to get rid of the Thief's Cuffs [bye bye rare steals...] just so i can equip the character with the double exp accessory. Since LP and EXP are so essentially important in this game, this is what i do.

I equip the three field characters with the double exp accessory, and i equip the Reserve Party [the other three not on the field] with the Double LP accessory. Everytime the three gain a level, i switch in the Reserve Party and exchange the accessories. This way, all my characters are evenly leveled and licensed. There's no certain character that's much stronger than the other or anything.

Guess, this is the experience i got after getting thrashed in the Japanese version. lol. I've learnt to do well in the English version.

Hey, and don't you actually realize we're STILL talking about Final Fantasy in the Off-Topic thread?? :?

My God people. :| Going off topic in the off topic thread. :| Classic. :P (To see the OT thread as how I see it is anything other than the main theme of the union. So, talking about FF in the Off Topic Thread in a FF union is off topic.)

Well, does anyone want to know what is going on in my life? (To go back on topic in the Off topic thread. :? :P)

It's not like I don't like her. I really do. Maybe she does have feelings for me. More than I thought. Maybe she is moving away from Nick. I just don't understand. Well, should guys understand girls? It's an enigma. :P

There are things called "friendly kisses". I know the Western community is really open about this. Seeing a guy and girl kiss in the local streets, everyone will stare at the pair like they were freaks. But, mike, don't get your hopes too high. Sometimes, the more you hope, the harder you fall. Still, keep going. Don't isolate yourself, and you'll get an answer in due time. Don't try to know girls. Not all girls are the same. Knowing one doesn't mean you'll know all of them. It's the same for us girls trying to understand what guys think. Still, we do our best, just trying to know that one person we have to really know about.

Just be patient, she's probably dying inside just like you, so wait but keep it cool don't pressure her because you'll push her away.

Is the PS3 region free? Or rather, are the games region free? Japan PS3 can play US games? And US PS3 can play Japan games? I'm caught... i can get the Japanese PS3 for a much much cheaper price than the US set. But i don't know what games the japanese and the US PS3 sets can play... :(

damn it darmi.... the font size was size 8... you read the sig instead of the post. :evil: Really? ZD?That means i can get the Japanese PS3 then, since it's region free. It costs at least 1/3 cheaper than the US import PS3. :shock: The 360 costs just a S$1000 cheaper, at a price of S$660. There must be some trade off, like, no Final Fantasy, no Metal Gear, no many other things. Might as well wait for a price drop for the PS3, and then i'll end up saving enough money before schedule.

I just started saving for a PS3 right now since it's really not a recomendation to get one right now because of the limited supply, launch titles, and some bugged systems. I'll just buy it when the time is right, the released of games like Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, and Final Fantasy XIII of courseÂ
