    Anime Looking for specific types of anime

    I am looking for new anime to watch, but I am a bit particular nowadays about what kind of anime I choose to watch. I'm looking for something along the lines of Death Note, Elfin Lied and Hellsing - dark, gothic or psychological. Please no high school rubbish. I tried watching Mirai Nikki and a...

    FF Music I miss Nobuo Uematsu

    After playing the most recent FF games (XII, XIII, XIII-2) I am more and more saddened by the absence of Uematsu's signature musical style. Character themes, music for every mood, be it sad, heroic or mischievious. I miss the beautiful songs he composed, as opposed to the forgettable pop songs...

    Strangest thing you've been accused of

    We've all done weird stuff, and most of us have been caught out from time to time. Perhaps we glanced sideways at another guy or girl and our partners call us cheating scum and run off. But has anyone ever spun an elaborate accusation about you out of absolutely nothing? To the point where your...

    Serious A mental romance

    Do you believe it's possible to be in love with a person's mind? The way they think, perceive and process, love, hate and express? As far as the person's outer appearance is concerned, there is nothing there, but their mind is simply so beautiful that you can't help feeling you're "in love" with...

    Serious Sibling drama

    A week ago my 17 year old brother's girlfriend disappeared from home. We all assumed she'd run away of her own accord; her parents found chat conversations on her computer with various men in nearby cities and towns, some in their 30s and 40s. She had been doing this behind her parent's and my...

    That ****ing Shadow

    First he runs away whenever he feels like it in Sabin's scenario, then I hired him after the Zozo mission to go to the opera house, and he leaves in the middle of the performance! You can't get back to the rest of your party after the opera house scenario, so I had to do the Magitek Factory with...

    A Final Fantasy musical

    How would you feel about an FF game/storyline being adapted into a musical? Obviously you'd retain the original music from the game, with lyrics added in. I think this would be great for the older titles by Uematsu, where each character had their own theme tune that could be adapted in a song or...

    Help Running full-screen on a laptop

    Does anyone know how to get the PC version to run full-screen on a laptop? When I had Vista the game would automatically start stretched to full-screen, but now trying to play it on Windows 7, I get a 640x480 box.

    50 Shades

    So women are carrying on like this series is the best thing since sliced bread, they're making a film adaption and once again the issue of relationship dynamics in literature affecting societal thought pops up. One of my students discovered I liked reading and said I simply HAD to read 50...

    Serious Now this is where I thought I'd draw the line.

    Never did I ever think I would be posting relationship questions on a video game forum. However my friend and family base are at a loss at how to advise me further on this situation, each giving me different opinions. I figured perhaps asking a bunch of complete strangers in a controlled...

    The Al Bhed (spoilers)

    I've seen some references to Yuna being "half-Al Bhed, half human", namely FF wiki's character bio for her. Does this imply that Al Bhed are a completely different species? That they are not human? Or are they simply a different race with their own unique characteristics, i.e. the swirly pupils...

    FFIII DS Salamander Boss

    I'll keep this short and sweet, Salamander is kicking my ass and I have no idea why. I don't remember having so much trouble with him the last time I played. My party setup is: Warrior (with Freezing Blade) White Mage Red Mage Monk I tried with Arc as a Black Mage instead of a Red Mage but he...

    The opera scene and The Phantom of the Opera

    I was watching The Phantom of the Opera the other night, and was amused at how much the Letters Scene resembles that of FFVI's opera scenario. Upon thinking about it, the similarities went further than that! 1. In the Phantom of the Opera, a disfigured genius is in love with a soprano. In FFVI...

    Help FF8 PC version

    Hi, I recently acquired FF8 for PC but it's giving me quite a few problems. First it would crash when I selected new game. I googled some stuff and was told to run it as an administrator. I did this, and then it crashed after the opening fmv. I have tried every compatibility mode, and have...

    Help Gigas Glove or Hyper Wrist? (Advance)

    Hyper Wrist increases your character's strength stat. Gigas Glove has no visible effect on the stat list but it claims to increase the character's attacking power. Can someone explain to me how this works and whether or not it makes it better than the Hyper Wrist? I'm rather confused :confused:

    FFXIII-2 Serah's new design

    Is it just me, or is Serah's new character design for XIII-2 almost identical to Porom in IV: After Years? When I saw this picture of Porom I initially thought it was Serah from XIII-2!

    Favourite Eidolon

    Who was your favourite Eidolon? Putting into consideration appearance, power, gestalt, etc. Mine is Odin, the falling petals and his transformation into Sleipnir is so beautiful, even his fighting form is awesome. My runner-ups would be Bahamut, simply for his incredible strength (I found him...

    What's the big deal about Serah and Snow?

    I see a lot of criticism directed at Serah and Snow's supposedly controversial relationship. The main arguments I hear are: A. She looks like a schoolgirl B. Is underage C. Is half Snow's size. There is no basis in any of those arguments. Serah is 18, therefore the legal issue is irrelevant...

    "Why are you playing that game again?"

    A friend of my bf's came to visit several months ago while I was playing FFVIII. Oohed and aahed over the game, then asked me why I'm playing such old games. I replied simply that it was very good and I enjoy playing it. Then he asked if I'd ever finished it. I said yes, several times. He looked...

    Airships

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship It got me thinking, which of the airships in the FF series can legitimately be called 'airships'? The early games in the series depicted airships with a sea ship body and propellers, literally an 'air-ship', that floated off the ocean into the air, as Cid's...
