Ok, Ok, I can respect that. However, in reply to your points: 1. The only way to do that effectively is to introduce that airship very late in the story, a la I, II, VII, VIII, etc. While this is acceptable, I find it more exciting to have a series of airships that get progressively better...

I would look at it in a Lockean sense of the word: You are entitled to take what you need, and no more. I think, once that threshold of survival is achieved, we all have a duty to help out our common man, where feasible. Anything short of that end is selfishness. There need not be any sort...

Au Contraire my friend. I myself prefer the airship from III: The great battleship Invincible. Five reasons, as detailed below: 1. Okay, I will admit, that most of the airships do look like boxes on poles. However, III was the first to change this, with both Nautilus and Invincible having...

I like the switching. Granted I am the type who likes to evenly level my characters anyway, but I still like having to switch up your strategy and really learn the characters: Both in terms of personality and abilities. I think it maximized the experience of the game. D4D

I personally prefer Squall's Lionheart: It does epic amounts of damage and you can never be entirely sure that it will be the one selected. Adds a degree of randomness to the process D4D

Currently playing V. Just got to Galuf's world in search of a game in which I beat Omega and Shinryu. I am playing the SNES version, after completing the preceding 4 games all on their original platforms.

No, I am not talking about just Ashura, Leviathan and Bahamut. I am talking about Goblin, Mindflay, Cocktrice and Bomb. You can only get them from a 1/255 drop from certain monsters. It took me something like 4 hours just to get Goblin and I gave up on the rest. Has anyone here gotten some...

No and No. Well, the first is a qualified no: If Sakaguchi was forced to omit certain things the first time around and really wanted to add them I'd be down: A kind of Director's Cut of the game if you will, but I would not want to see a remake just for the sake of Graphics and throwing in a...

Absolutely. This game is, I think, a necessary play for all Final Fantasy fans: Return to your roots and see Square's last ditch effort that saved a company and maybe helped cement the genre. I do agree though that it takes some getting used to, especially if you play the NES version. My...

We all know that training in this game was vital: You needed EXP and GP like nobodies business. So my question is, what areas did you guys find to be the most beneficial/helpful? My two most helpful areas were: The "power peninsula" east of Pravoka. ZomBulls and Giants. The ZomBulls are...

It was difficult coming up with the cash necessary to buy the magic. I ended up buying all the Black and White I could hold, but it took massive amounts of training; in part because the limited inventory space meant that you dropped a lot of stuff that would have sold for high prices D4D

I don't know if misguided is the correct term...I think that when he learned of his origins in Nibelheim he became severely disoriented: Most everything that he knew changed, his schema was destroyed. He clung to the only constant things he knew: Violence, and power. D4D

Story wise I found it an apt metaphor: He was but a whisper, an idea, but everyone payed homage and reverence to sin and so it grew, until the movement outgrew its originator. I also agree that it is consistent with weak authority figures at the head of powerful regimes. As a gameplay note...

D4D's In Depth FFI (NES) Review Bear in mind that I played the NES version of this game, so my experience might be different from yours. That said, my overall impression was very favorable. I had already played, and beaten V, VII, VIII, IX, X and Tactics before I decided to go back to the...

That is a good point (and very interesting info by the way regarding FFIV: The After). However, I still found it odd that after the reunification we saw very little meaningful interplay between Rydia and Cecil: Their "moment" in Kaipo was one of the more significant ones in the game, and the...

I will echo the sentiment of older characters: Rydia: Given how broken she was in IV she could make one heck of a frustrating optional boss. She could emerge all innocent and intimidating, in her child form and players unfamiliar with IV would not think twice. Then, before your eyes she...

I played the game on the NES so there maybe differences. Regardless, my least favorite parts were: "Go get this so I can tell you what to get next" quests: At first, when told to get the Mithril, I was thrilled: It made it feel like I was really part of a rebel army. Then I was told to go...

That is indeed what I suggest. Granted it is open for interpretation, but hey, speculation is why I joined. Kinda fun to think what could have been but for those limited NES cartridges. :) D4D P.S. Go Ducks! Hey, You're a Cougar, I'm a Duck; we both agree, the Huskies Suck!

I was surprised to see that Cecil never acted in anyway protective toward Rydia in this regard. He obviously feels a great deal of guilt about her mother in the beginning, and is her literal physical protector in Kaipo when the Baron soldiers come to take her. However, after their...
