    [IV] Levelling Tips?

    Ouch. The best place to l found to level was the Lunar Subterrane but you are not there yet. I would go into the cave of the summons or the Slyph cave and walk around the tiles that do not damage you for random encounters. The monsters should yield high exp. This applies to the SNES version...

    your luckiest fight?

    The Bahamut sequence, where you have to fight two consecutive Ruby Dragons before the Dragon King. I was over lv.70 so there was a very real threat that the Rubys might use breath on me; I ended up getting Odin on both of those dragons and thus only had to fight Bahamut. I have heard rumors...

    Serious Did I handle getting turned down well?

    You did well. It is always hard, and rejection can't help but hurt. I find the best thing to do in that situation is to try to laugh at yourself, say something along the lines of "of course you have a boyfriend, look at you," and then find an exit strategy without seeming obvious. Then you...

    College Sports

    I too follow College Sports and find them to be far preferable to professional ones due to the passion of the game (except for Soccer that is, in which case the college game is relatively unfollowed) As for my favorite...Go Oregon Ducks! D4D

    What Football teams do you follow/support?

    Depends on the league I suppose. Us yanks have the liberty of picking a favorite from each. So, here goes - Premier - Chelsea. Carefree, wherever we may be, we are the famous CFC...Too bad my dad is a Man U fan...blegh Serie A - Tough. I like Fiorentia and Roma both for the same reason --...

    Magic question

    You get certain items from enemies -- you can win them, you can steal them, etc. Some of these items can be refined into magic using GF skills -- Mid Mag Refine, Forbid Mag Refine, etc. Although the conversion rate is low, it still is quicker than drawing. I think some items can be refined...

    Favorite FF couple

    As critical as I will be of the couple, I must admit that Squall and Rinoa for me take the cake. Maybe it is just nostalgia, maybe it is the whole "opposites attract" paradigm, or maybe it is Rinoa's stubborn independence while simultaneously needing Squall. I dunno, but they get my vote D4D

    Which outfits do you like more?

    I thought that both Cloud and Tifa improved dramatically in terms of costume. Seriously, it was hard to take SOLDIER seriously with a purple uniform. But, most of the change probably just represents a change in cultural aesthetics in the near decade between FF7 and AC D4D

    Alarm!!

    We use a radio alarm. I set the frequency inbetween channels, so all that comes through is static -- it will literally rip you right out of any REM cycle. Have the time I've jumped out of bed before i can even turn the damn thing off. We are generally up by 6:00 D4D

    Is the Economy Affecting you?

    In short: Yes. I am lucky enough to have found employment before the recession/crisis; and subsequently lucky enough to have made myself indispensable there. However, the job does not pay well, and finding another has been nigh near impossible. Additionally, applying for a job in a law firm...

    Are you a completist?

    I was not when I started, but as of late my neurosis have begun to manifest and I have become one: I of course set my own parameters in terms of what I substantively consider master, but they accord with most peoples. Currently I have mastered -- FFI, FFII, FFIII, FFIV, KHI, KHII, Medal of...

    Lunarians

    Hey all. It has been a while since I finished, but does anyone know where the Lunarians are originally from? Their name implies that they are in fact from the moon (hence the redundancy of the "Lunarian moon") but I was wondering if originally they had their own planet? If somebody knows...

    Fun with numbers...

    So most, if not all, know that the Final Fantasys used different numbering systems up until 7 -- This owed to the omission of FFs II,III and V in the U.S. This led to FFIV(j) being known in the US as FFII and FFVI(j) being known as FFIII. This all ended with FF7 which was known as such in both...

    Easy....?

    No, I found this game to be very easy. Although it is my favorite (partly because it was my first) there is not a lot of challenge to the game. It is pretty straitforward -- Once you have 300 Aura you are basically set so long as you played cards and have Card RF. I will say that, while the...

    Summon Scavenger Hunt

    I too like fighting summons to obtain them, but it certainly is not an idea that began with XII -- this method has appeared in III, IV, V, VIII, X and XII. While I agree that it does give a sense of accomplishment, it is beginning to lose its novelty. Thus... Favorite: VII. I like the idea...

    Do you have to level to 99?

    First of all, couldn't you level up to 100 in VIII? I seem to remember that being particularly troublesome when you stumble into a random encounter with Tomaras an level 5 death, and forgot to junction death to your ST-DEF. In any case, VIII was the only game in which I attained max level with...

    Back to the Basics

    Graphics can be a hurdle -- I remember feeling the way that you did when I first picked up Anthologies about 6 years ago. I guess I have matured a bit, but it also helps that, when I decided to go through the whole series, I stopped playing games for a while and then started with the NES...

    The Better love story?

    It is apples to oranges. Laguna and Julia was the classic love story: True love, compatible, impossible and tragic. They are destined to be together, but can't. It is very Romeo and Juliet. Squall and Rinoa are the contemporary "opposites attract." They should not be able to stand...

    Am I completely misremembering?

    The SNES version did not have the ATB bar (had ATB just no graphical representation,) and as I recall did show the max HP. Unfortunately, I think that this was one of the main areas that Square wanted to change when it came out with the GBA version, and so I would be surprised if there was...

    Come Here Often, Monseur Monster?

    I agree that the encounter rate is much higher in the earlier games. That is a global truth, but I think it has particular relevance to V. V is, in my opinion, a game for gamers: Its story is minuscule compared to both IV and VI. However, it makes up for it with the job system, which allows...
