I found them useful to begin with but the stronger your characters get the less useful the Aeons become, until eventually they get to the point of only being summoned to protect against one hit KOs or, at a push, to see the cinematics of their Overdrives again. If you work on the relationship...

I used to avoid cooking proper food, ironically until I got to uni, when everyone else starts living on rice and noodles! I went completely the other way when I started studying. Assignments and exams would stress me out a lot, and I'd just started horse riding and fencing up again so I needed...

In non-fiction I am presently reading The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud, but in German instead of in translation. It's the theory of the unconscious mind in relation to dream interpretation and is the precursor of the theory that eventually became known as the Oedipus Complex. It's...

I didn't mess around, no. Generally the longer I leave something the more likely I am to not do it at all. I have realised watching this walkthrough that I had actually heard Kefka's laugh a lot before in various places on YouTube, but didn't until today have a clue what it actually was. And...

Damn. Is that likely to prevent you from starting it now? I'm sure it'll be one of the first things I play when my PS3 arrives tomorrow. Forget GTA 5, Final Fantasy calls :)

Right... Wherever to start? My most hated books are both pretty disturbing. The first was A Child called 'It'. My first problem with this was that I was made to read this at the age of thirteen by my English teacher. If that wasn't bad enough, we spent basically the entire term on it, analysing...

Today I secured quite a lot of work translating German and Russian in the banking and insurance sectors. This is a huge step for me because I've not dealt with much translating in the finance sector before. Having received my first task at 6 this morning I have just finished and sent it off. I...

There are schools in Scotland that teach solely through the medium of Scots Gaelic. In the 1980s there were so few people that took this option up that the numbers aren't even worth mentioning, but apparently this number has been on the rise for the last thirty-odd years and now about 2000 kids...

Take it as a compliment, which is what it was meant to be. In all seriousness maybe you'd mentioned you had copies of them in some thread or other before so I assumed you'd played them. Clearly a flawed logic as I had a copy of 12 for years before really getting into it. But then considering how...

I don't know, I just got the general impression you'd played most of the main games. Maybe you just have that all-knowing aura about you, who knows? :) I must really have lived under a rock for years because I'd never heard of Kefka or Terra before joining this forum. Then I went through all the...

I haven't played 13 yet, and I always smile as an outside observer when I see people swapping opinions on 12 and 13. I will one day play 13 for myself and get an informed opinion of my own. I can already see I'm going to have a different opinion to the vast majority as I quite like Vanille. haha.

I genuinely have no idea what happens to any of them - Sabin could be dead for all I know. I assume iSmiff knows the story though. I vote Terra (because I still feel like I know nothing about her), Sabin and then Locke. What else would you want me to burn him with? Hell, what else would be...

I'm not saying your sense of humour isn't there - I'm smiling through most of it either because it's refreshing to see one of the older games with retro-graphics or because I like your sense of humour. But the more jokes the better, in my opinion. They don't have to be that funny either - you...

Maybe people who have actually seen FFVI before will think differently, but as someone who has never been through it before, never properly owned it, I think the speed is fine. Of course I'm looking forward to seeing the story develop more, meeting more of the apparently huge cast of playable...

Please sign me up :) So, what do I think of when I think of Britain? Firstly I think of our history. Our history is very long and intertwined with more countries than I can count. I think it's partly because of this that we Brits have such a hard time defining just what we are. We are a...

Real name: Jack Alias/Pen name: LanguageSponge. It has been like this since I was about 14. A friend came up with it while I was helping people with homework assignments for three languages similtaneously. Nicknames: I have in the past been called "Jack the Ripper" by my friends. This is...

I'm another Welshie. My mum's side of the family are mostly all Welsh and most of my dad's family don't seem to have moved out of the Italian region of Tuscany for about 300 years. We have some Austrian and German on my mum's side though from my maternal grandfather. Although this German and...

My first was 8, and I really loved it, followed pretty closely by 7. I remember distinctly being in the middle of the final battle with Sephiroth when my mum came home from the shops and handed me 9 haha :) Honestly I had seen nothing further than the intro of 6 until very recently when our very...

My favourite female character was Fran, beyond a shadow of a doubt. I was confused at the beginning because looking around at the people in the world, she seemed to be the only one of her race walking around, which I found odd. I assumed that she had been ousted from her homeland for some...

I can name quite a few UK users here and I've been here about 2 weeks or something. Haha. It'll certainly be interesting playing 13. I am usually quite the traditionalist with Final Fantasy so I will have to go into it with an open mind - I've been watching a Let's Play of 12, and I'm only just...
