    whats it like

    I'm not a huge fan of the game. It's ok, but I don't like the licence board and the battle system feels a little clumsy.

    Vaan too whimpy?

    Yeah I think Vaan is the worst protagonist yet. The way he looks, his questionable incentive for being in the party, his voice... why does the leading man have to be so dull?

    Is anyone happy about the turn-based system being replaced?

    I think the new battle system works ok, but I prefer the turn-based systems. Altough the integration between exploration and battles is seamless and fluid, I think the turn-based systems have a little more elegance to them. I often find myself feeling like a spectator in FFXII battles.

    Alternative Punishments

    True enough. But even though labour are a bunch of bickering pansies I'm not too impressed by the alternatives.

    Alternative Punishments

    Reading that has made my day. I wish there were more common sense police officers about like that one. The way I see it, these little s***s know they can do whatever they like and get away with it because a) the law can barely touch them when they're 15 and under, b) prisons are overcrowded so...

    The Fitness Thread

    I enjoy cycling but I only do on average 20-25 miles a week with my friends and it's more a social thing. Nothing too extreme (simply because extreme isn't an option in pancake-flat Suffolk). Trimmed and toned? Trimmed maybe, but not in the good way. I'm a bit on the skinny side you see (high...

    I do hope that....

    lol Much fun can be had speculating. 10 years though!? That's insane. And I though Terminator 3 was pushing things too far.

    Current Book?

    Well I just read half of a book called Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson or Stephen Nealson or something and I would like to warn others about it - It is utter shite. Avoid at all costs. Having said that, if you like sci-fi you'll probably love it. I very rarely stop reading a book halfway through...

    I do hope that....

    Though I hate to say it I completely agree. But maybe I feel this way because I started playing on the best (imo) FF game - VII. On the subject of milking FFVII dry - I'm not a big fan of it. It seems to cheapen the reputation of FFVII and robs it of a little dignity. But it doesn't take too...

    Exploring the world map

    I really enjoyed exploring the world map.I spent a great deal of time exploring with the Highwind before going to the final Sephiroth fight. For me, the ability to explore these worlds is one of my favourite aspects of FF games. Making decisions about which path I take and where to go makes me...

    Let's talk Growth-Systems...

    I also like the way titles such as FFVII encourage diversity - each character brought a piece of their personality to the battle system (barrett was tough as shit and aeris was a healer) and it encouraged you to swap the party members around for different battles (though some still prefer to...

    Who is the hardest ever boss?

    Struggled with Demon's Gate in FFVII more than any other boss.

    Summon

    Although it was quite basic (compared to Knights of the Round etc) I was quite fond of Ifrit's summon sequence; it just looked so powerful and terrifyingly brutal.

    You Know You're Obsessed with FFVII When:

    lol @ all the above. How about... 25. You ask "where can I find the chocobos?" on a visit to the zoo. 26. You get arrested for searching people's houses "for weapons and materia". 27. You ask your girlfriend to call you Cloud while making the sex.

    What are your thoughts of this game?

    I was really enjoying it to begin with, and became addicted very quickly. What struck me initially was that I actually felt like a part of the game - more than I had done with any FF. People would run past you on their own missions, others would be chatting away about football results, someone...

    When is this game coming out in Britain?

    According to Amazon.co.uk the game is coming out in europe on February 23rd 2007. I'm also waiting for it to be released over here. It sucks that all the American guys on this forum are talking about it but we have to wait another three months before we can even start it! :cry2: I couldn't...

    Nintendo The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

    TLOZ looks awesome to me. I've never played a Zelda game but I like the look of the enormous environments and varied gameplay. I have heard it's a bit on the easy side though.

    Newbie says hello

    Hello everyone. I must confess first and foremost that I love FFVII. I bought it knowing little of what an RPG was and loved it to bits. Everything in FFVII just clicked and worked so perfectly, in a way that in my opinion has not been recaptured in subsequent FFs. Although they are all pretty...
