Sounds pretty awesome to me. Did you play this or did you use some sort of program or what?

Oh guys, no one's holding a gun up against your head making you do all the sidequests. That said, every time I play the game I kinda dread going through the Bevelle temple. I am the only person that found that part really annoying? And the first hour or so of the game, too. Some of Tidus'...

Oh, totally. I've played X five or six times, and I'll probably play through it again in the near future. It's my favorite FF, mainly for the plot and the characters and the world-building, but the game itself is fun too. I've only gathered and unlocked all the celestial weapons once, and...

Each Final Fantasy is it's own mixed bag, but mostly the plots fall between what you've seen with VIII and X. We're drifting into the waters of opinion here, so you know, be warned. X is my favorite in terms of plot, but VII comes a very close second. It's got a well developed, dark, dirty...

I am of two minds about this. I think VIII might be one of the best FFs in terms of gameplay alone IF you can decipher all the crazy menus and get into the junctioning system. Yeah, drawing magic is annoying, but it's really only useful very early in the game. Later it's easier to refine magic...

Healing magic, 99% of the time. Items are for emergencies (megalixir!) or when my healer is down. Magic is usually more economical, you'll need to save or stay at an inn or something anyway, and that will restore your MP, but potions cost. I also tend to like White Mage type characters and like...

I kind of understand this attitude, or at least the "Why don't you play games you haven't played before?" part. I've played every FF at least twice, but there are still a lot of classic games I haven't played. Sometimes I'll want to play one FF or another again, because they are like old...

I like hunting down old games and couldn't dream of parting with a well-loved system that was still working, so... I think I own every FF that was released in the US in its original format. With the exception of I (the original is nigh unplayable IMO) and IV (the PS and GBA translations are...

I find it funny that some people say XIII was OMG SO EASY and some people say it's the hardest FF in a long time. So which is it? Well, both. Kind of. I don't know about you guys, but I did a lot of dying in this game. More than in any FF since the SNES days, and maybe even more than in...

I just finished replaying XIII. A year later and I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about that game. :/ I did more of the mission/hunt/quest things this time. I might go back in the post-game and do all of them, but I'm a little burned out on neochus and etc. just now.

I think the most shocked I've been while playing an FF game was in XIII when I remember thinking this is a Final Fantasy game?! As if that prevented something like that happening somehow, right?Crazy.

When playing old games, I try to put myself in the mindset of the time in which they were new. With FFI, that's pretty difficult, because I was one year old in 1987. But... I play some NES Castlevania, some Dragon Warrior, and then I can pretend alright, at least as far as video games go. :)...

Obviously, including four different FMV endings would have been impractical, so their absence never offended me, but them not being there is sort of jarring. Even though they're optional characters and neither of them is THAT important to the plot, I can't imagine going through the game without...

I think the materia system is maybe the best thing in the series as far as a system for skills and abilities goes, but some of the more interesting things you could do with it you can't do until later in the game and there's never a real need to. I think adding more support-type materia earlier...

Advent Children Complete, totally. I have kind of mixed feelings about Advent Children, it does a couple of things I don't consider canon, but it's so pretty and it has so many subtle nods to the game that I watched it two times back to back the first time I downloaded it when it first came out...
