In World I near the Library of the Ancients you can fight Desert Chimeras in the Desert to the North. They can also teach Aqua Rake I think if you are looking to rack up so blue magics. I think I had two mystic knights, and a time mage, used haste and Bolt2 sword liberally.

As has been said, the Thief really shines after I used your same exact party, and it was a very enjoyable game. Some people opt to include a red mage in lieu of one of the two dedicated mages, but you lose spell variety in doing that. Also, some choose to use a monk instead of a thief, as...

Hmmmm. Cain's multiple betrayals, particularly the one after the cave where you fight evilwall. Golbez pissed me off for the longest time, until I learned that

Thanks, good info. I started the series later (with 7) and am only now going back through and playing the classics. I suppose I just shied away from status attacks so much due to the later games that it is hindering me in these earlier installments. Thanks!!!

Evilwall. I never bothered to slow him, as status attacks so often fail against bosses. I imagine if I would have slowed him, the fight would have been a bit easier. Jump and Edge's throws are all that saved me, and I think in the end Cain was the only one left standing

As I recall this game didn't require much power leveling. In fact, you want to keep your levels fairly low until you get optimal equipment. That way when you do max your levels you can get the best stats possible

I disagree. This is certainly very annoying. To me, far more annoying are the countless empty rooms in the game. And instead of peeking in the door to see if it is empty, for some reason your party always trudges into the middle of the room, leaving ample time for an enemy encounter as you...

I played it, in both the GBA and NES formats. I like it: It is simple, elegant, and timeless. And, contrary to the opinions above, I think that there is a ton of strategy: Rationing your spell charges, making sure that you are well equiped before you leave town, making sure that you have...

It is an interesting comparison. The Empire is a prototypical expansionist empire, that will do whatever it takes to take over the world. However, their "evil" if they have one is somewhat overshadowed by Kefka's evil, and there are saving graces to the Empire (namely General Leo). Shinra, on...

FFVIII. Sooo many touching moments, most notably [/spoiler] Laguna's proposal. [/end spoiler] All of the endings are sterling to be honest, even the early ones. Kain's ending in FFIV is truly noteworthy, and the ending in FFI, though primitive, as a poetic quality to it: [/spoiler] you did...

Yeah FFIV was bad...especially with Yang, as he was one of the mainstays of my party. And Kain was sort of a double-whammy. When he left it sucked for both gameplay and plot reasons. The worst by far for me was FFII. People would leave, and in order to make the replacement halfway decent...

No, the monsters do not level up as you do, which makes the game a bit easier, and certain blue magic (i.e. level 5 doom) more effective. Note, however, that the items that you have equipped affect your stat gain at level up, and obviously the best equipment has the best stat increases. Thus...

I try to refrain from using walkthroughs until at least the second play through. If you are a completist though, a walkthrough is almost essential. FF5 and the blue magic comes to mind, or things of that nature. Really, whatever you want to do to get the most enjoyment out of the game is fine...

My thoughts. Spinoffs: I generally am for them. I like the idea of each Final Fantasy world being its own universe. We only glimpse that universe through the numbered games. If other games come in, do some things differently gameplay wise, and add to our understanding of the world and the...

I bought Star Wars: Empire at War, and the expansion for the PC. Nerdy I know. @ Stevie Nicks: Let me know what you think of XML2. I loved both XML and MUA, but thought that XML2 was a bit of a letdown.

Yeah, I got them all on my first play through. None were that difficult, just draw at the beginning of every boss fight, and if there was a ???? I made sure to grab it. The only frustrating one to get was doomtrain, but the levels that you gained on the island closest to hell whilst fighting...

No, I didn't get them all :( I was trying to be such the completest too, I got all of the blue magic, got all of the treasure out of the burning Karnak castle, and beat Omega and Shinryu. But I was not as observant as I should have been in Galuf's world, and thus missed both Carbunkle and Shoat.

Believe it or not, but FFVI was like this for me. I got horribly stuck in ZoZo, and hated the game from that point on until I quit at the end of the WoB. Replaying it now, I still hate ZoZo, but was prepared before hand, and mature enough to enjoy the adversity.

My exams are over, but it went something like Thursday -- Constitutional Law The following Monday -- Property Law Thursday -- Torts The following Tuesday -- Contracts And I am currently trying out for the law review

Definitely doomtrain. I had a round of "buffing" GFs that I would use at the onset of battle: Doomtrain, Carbuncle, and Cerberus. The next round of GFs would be my primary damage dealers: DIablos (where applicable) Eden and Bahaumut
