They were really useful as tanks - and of course for all their stat-enhancing glory and abilities. For attacking... not so much. I'd use Shiva, Ifrit, and Quetz, since they would probably be the strongest, having had them the longest, and more importantly, they have relatively short animations.

I personally don't think it's a glitch - I don't really see how that kind of glitch would occur. Besides, in AC, the fact that the children had a connection to Aeris was related to her vestigial spirit left in the church; so either her ghost was intentional, or the designers decided to...

I really hope this is a remake and not just a port. Unlike with Tetsuya Nomura and his FFVII compendium nonsense, I'm pretty trusting of Tokita to be able to make a remake without significantly changing the original heart of the game. The fact that he's adamant to gather the old team in order to...

Not to devalue your compilation work, but you could've just gone to gamefaqs.com. In any case, I always found Al Bhed kinda lame in that they serve up a code as if it were a completely different language - I mean, I guess I can't expect the Square team to have linguists on hand for artificial...

It probably started out with a single reference to him as "Dark Cloud" during those months before the release and everybody was gushing over every single leaked image - and thus it entered the realm of fanon. I myself don't use that nickname for him - I actually find it kind of ridiculous.

Um... considering the original release was on a phone, I doubt that porting it to the DS will in any way negatively effect the visual quality. In fact, it'll likely be much more improved in comparison to the original.

With about 3/4 of the optional stuff, 110 hours. And I don't intend on getting the other 1/4. This really wasn't one of my favorite games, so I'm surprised I spent so long on it. I feel like I spent about 80 of those hours doing pure level-grinding/dungeon-crawling; this might sound fine to some...

The notion of sorceresses being unable to bear children seems a bit too generalizing. We only really see three sorceresses' lives out of the multitude that have existed in the FFVIII world. So just because these three don't happen to be preggers doesn't make it much of an absolute in my opinion...

Well, on the one hand, Zack got into SOLDIER while Cloud didn't. On the other hand, Zack dies while Cloud lives (granted, this is because he was considered to be so weak as to not be worth the bullet). Also, Zack is the original and Cloud the copy, so to speak. Most evidence points to Zack being...

On my first playthrough I stuck with the standard Cloud, Tifa, and Barret. As time went on, Red XIII started to usurp Barret's slot. But as I am right now, my favorite happens to be Cloud, Tifa, and Vincent. My preferred party really has nothing to do with game stats or the like; it's about how...

Demyx was a bitch for me thanks to the time limit. At least three or four times, the clock would run out when I only had two water clones left.

That's true. The way I took it is that the Planet's screams are usually inaudible without certain amplifiers such as the observatory. But when they hear it on the Highwind, the Planet had been damaged to such a point that its screams began to emit at a frequency audible to the unaided ear (ie...

Frankly, Square really wasted a good potential character by killing off Reks. I found him to be much more compelling than Vaan, in terms of character (that is, what little characterization of Reks we see) as well as visual design.

I think that FFIX was one of the most successfully scored games of the series. It really pulled its weight in creating the environment - it was the game that came closest to feeling medieval because of the music. While they all have that element of being Japanese interpretations of European...

Just finished reading The Tempest for the first time. Great play - and I love how there's such a mixture of narrative elements that cohere in a fashion that only Shakespeare could pull off. I think this one'll end up being a favorite. I'm starting on "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in...
