By the time you know all the nice little tricks of the trade, you can really sap any difficulty the game has to offer. I know the same can be said for most FF games, but I think it is the most prevailant here. The first opportunity comes as early as 10 minutes into the game; with I-Mag RF (30...

I just finished Tales of Symphonia. I didn't feel overprepared or anything but the final boss was too easy, both forms. Still, I enjoyed it, and would happily recommend it to anyone who likes RPGs. I liked the characters a lot, and the little skits between towns was a great way of getting lots...

I've just ordered Macho Madness - The Ultimate Randy Savage Collection. I was completely devastated when he died 2 days ago. I'd always intended to get this DVD, but was disappointed to hear that it didn't have one of the 3 hour documentary pieces that a lot of the big 3-DVD sets have these...

I think the scene in the G-Prison at the start of disc 2 with Squall and Seifer prove to me that he was not a good person. I think a misled but good person would have offered Squall salvation or tried to turn him, as opposed to to taking sadistic pleasure in torturing him. Squall hated Seifer as...

Steiner I suppose. He is the one who entertains me the most, and some of the dilemmas he finds him self in, torn between duty and logic. I find his relationships that he develops with the party are the most interesting. His earlier interactions with Zidane are pure gold. I'd have chosen Zidane...

I can only really think of one way Final Fantasy has really impacted my life... I had a very, very happy childhood, and I think Final Fantasy is at the very least partly responsible for the fact that I can look back fondly and smile. I feel very blessed that I can say such things, because I know...

1) Final Fantasy X This one is pretty much a no-brainer. I've invested an absurd amount of time into this game, and can still play it today. When I'm a few decades older, and thinking back the PS2, this will be the first game I am reminded of. I bought a PS2 basically to play this game. 2)...

Cecil - I always loved the idea of having a protagonist that wasn't -just- a melee type. The Paladin thing always appealed to me as well. I think looking at my other characters, he'd me the one I'd choose to lead this party too. Cloud - I'd have him set up as a warrior type. Counterattacking...

A Professor of Chemical Physics, my personal tutor in fact at University, used to describe it as follows. Very simply, he said "Mathematics is the language of science". Not to open up a can of worms here (and also, because I'm way out of my depth), but it is interesting to consider than up...

I hate being talked over/interrupted. It happened a lot growing up, being the youngest by some distance (I'm 23, brothers are 36 and 33). Now it absolutely drives me insane. I fail to see why anyone has the right to say what they want whilst someone else is talking. Absolutely drives me insane...

God damn it, this could be difficult... 1) Final Fantasy VII 2) Final Fantasy X 3) Final Fantasy VIII 4) Final Fantasy V 5) Final Fantasy IV 6) Final Fantasy IX Actually, I'm fairly certain about the top 3, but the rest is very hard. Final Fantasy VII will always be my favourite. It's sad...

Fit For Rivals - Crash Not sure how many of you have heard of them, I hadn't until yesterday. I heard it about a year ago when it was the theme to one of the WWE events. I liked it, but didn't really give it another thought. I came across a recap video for the event on Youtube yesterday, and...

I'd mainly use white magic, but sometimes in a dungeon where my mage might have a great spell which exploits the weakness of a nasty enemy, or enemies are weak to magic in general, I'd use items to conserve MP. This kind of discussion reminds me of a topic I made a while back about how earlier...

Squall's Gunblade is an obvious answer; pretty much all of the ones he uses are really cool. Also, one or two of Tidus' weapons are pretty cool. The ones with deathtouch/deathstrike, I believe those sorts of weapons are called a Danse Macabre or something like that, they look fantastic. The...

I absolutely despise Selphie, but while she is the epitome of annoying (character, stupid decisions, dialogue, limit break...), she didn't really strike me as bratty. I'd say Rinoa had all the bratty, while Selphie brought the annoying. Looking at the list, I'd say characters like Tidus...

A girl I knew had Tidus' necklace emblem thing from FFX on the back of her neck. It was quite tastefully done and looked pretty cool. She had a couple of other tattoo's elsewhere that were game related, and they didn't look very impressive at all really.

I ordered Confessions on Blu-ray this morning, which came out today. It should be here next couple of days. I saw a piece on it on Film 2011, and thought it looked really good. It looks to be a pretty standard revenge thriller, but there is a really interesting twist in it, which they gave away...

I'd say the first 2/3 of the game, I have one if not two characters dedicated to the gathering of magic and items. Squall tends to be the only one set up in any offensive way, and he'll have Str-Bonus on as soon as humanly possible. The final third of the game, I'll make a second character set...

I'm trying so hard to get into this game, I really am. If I can get to the end of FFXIII, I'm sure I can get into this. It has far more likeable characters (Vaan aside), is far more open, and has a nicer setting in general.

Bit of a necro-post, but Tales of Vesperia was put on the Games on Demand shop for £20 a week or so ago. Just a heads up! I haven't actually played this game, nor do I have a 360, but I've been told ToV was worth buying an Xbox for. So I priced it up, and used copies of this game are selling...
