I always favoured popping Big Guard right at the start of a boss fight, to give me a little extra edge right at the start. I have a bad habit of over-leveling, so I generally start wiping the floor with the boss regardless, and Big Guard just upgrades that. Honestly, if not for Big Guard, I...

Hal stood around for a bit, and when the guest didn't show himself, he decided he should get a little nosy. After all, how would he attend to the mystery guest's needs if he stayed a mystery. He quietly moved up to the door, and listened for snoring, or something to indicate a presence inside...

Hands down, has to be Blue Mage. It was the first appearance of them, and any class that learns to mimic enemy attacks is the one for me. Also, bonus points for looking like fantasy setting superheroes (doesn't really make sense, but that's alright). Some of my favourite characters evolved out...

Though the new strangers were from out of town, they at least looked normal enough that Gudo and Yacha simply stood and stared instead of panicking once more. Once they finally entered the shop, the two boys bolted for the tavern, eager to spread the news of visitors to the village. As the door...

Hal's eyes shot open as the door to the bedroom closed, and he hopped up, trying to gain his bearings. No children... they weren't playing in here again, at least... His hand set lightly on the handle to the bedroom, and nearly began to turn it before he noticed the light shining off the coins...

Groups of characters would certainly be fine. It's almost easier to play a group than an individual at times... A band of thieves or a group of bards could be very interesting indeed. Certainly an event unto themselves.

About five years ago, all of my friends all turned into gigantic flakes. They were unreliable, couldn't shut their traps if I told them something vital, and certainly weren't there for the bad times, just the good. So, I bailed on that gang of friends, and spent considerably more time on the...

I don't have any skills in particular that come to mind, but if you like, you could PM me with some things that need doing and I'll let you know what I can help with. My writing abilities are decent, I've played more than enough games to separate the worthwhile tropes from the cliches, and I...

((Here is the opening of the Village of Dali. The intent of this RP is to provide a space for people to bring in characters and try them out, do things if they want, or just stop posting. Because the focus of this is on the setting, and not on a plot surrounding specific player characters...

Alright, I've got everything ready for the setting/local characters. I'll put up the actual write up and an intro post later tonight. I'm pretty excited to get things started. Any suggestions for rules? I don't want to make things restrictive, but we do need some rules just to keep things...

The graphics in the GBA version seemed very white-washed to me, which detracted from the bleak feel that the original had (you were fighting a loosing battle in a gritty world, and it only seemed appropriate that everything was dark). The thought of having a portable version was very...

Honestly, anyone would have been a better lead character than Vaan. He's comparable to Amarant from 9 - he joins the party for no real reason and has nothing personal or worthwhile going on. Fortunately, Squeenix got it right by making it where you never, ever need to use him with the exception...

Great choice on the Malazan series, Sir Kenneth, I'm a huge fan of it. Currently Reading: House of Leaves. The book in and of itself is a puzzle, a riddle you can solve as you go along. Good for people into creepy things and people that like a mental exercise. Last Finished: The Coming of...

I loved 4, and have been hoping for a portable version of After Years for some time, so this is just awesome news. Hopefully they'll be making the compilation game disc available separately (and, you know, eventually in english). Not sure how I feel about the art style though... They're trying...

I would say Odin, but his consistent inability to 1-hit KO things (I'd prefer just straight up damage instead of uselessness) left him eternally in the background for me. The Ifrit and Shiva summons, which show up in almost every game, have a lot of draw for me. Every FF I've played, I've...

I had saved and stopped for the night just before grabbing Steiner and going in there to get Vivi back... But wow, major oversight... I can't even believe I did that... :wtf: No worries about being busy, I certainly know how that goes. I'm excited to see people are already showing a little...

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days in here, I've been trying to get some stuff together for this (also, I've been sick, but that's not really an excuse). I sped through the start of FF9 to Dali, and I must say, I had no idea that there was so incredibly much there. The team definitely...

I'm going to analyze both as impersonal entities, since Shinra is not Rufus, and the Empire is not Kefka (especially since there is an Emperor) As far as conquest/battle, the Empire did nothing more than any other imperial power would, even in the real world. Shinra was no better (unless we...

I won't go on about the bad in 10-2, because I found waaaaaaay too much of it. But more importantly, on the other thing you said - dresspheres please. I felt like they took the job switching of 3/5/Tactics to its logical next step, and did a great job of it. Unfortunately, Squeenix seems to be a...

This pretty much sums up my sentiments. The "romance" felt totally disconnected from the rest of the story and what was going on, as though it was forced in after the game was already finished. Nothing I saw outside of scenes specifically included to imply a relationship between characters made...
