    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    And that makes it a good thing how?

    I've been tinkering with RPG Maker to make an RPG with puzzle bosses! :D The second boss is the first one with a puzzle (a fire spell on the (water dungeons) boss, followed by an ice spell, and so on for three times in a row will shatter the armour and make it easy to kill)

    Try 5 or 9.Truly the better choices.:p

    This makes you my bro Ian. Also, having protagonists who aren't whiny brats is a plus (the one time Zidane gets whiny everyone tries to snap him out of it, because it's a very OOC moment for him).

    And FF5's job system is both very fun and boss.

    ff5's job system is annoying me :|

    Once you master it, it becomes easy. Subsequent play throughs are more enjoyable because you know what to aim for.

    Also, its GBA translation is loads better than even the fan translation. Granted, I'm the same guy who likes Over-Time's pop culture references in its toku subs.

    It's the GBA version I'm playing.

    At the moment, I have that...  princess person and that main protagonist dude as Knights, the old dude as a white mage and the pirate as a black mage.

    But the thing that's annoying me is...

    "Oh, you want to unlock Find Passages? GRIND FOR TEN MINUTES, dohoho~" because if I wait to put it off, then I'm already past the point I need it at.

    it at.

    Protip: Mastering a job means that when you use Freelancer or Mime with that person again, you don't need to equip their passive abilities. Find Passages counts as such. It's also why I recommend at least one person masters Geomancer - being able to find floor traps and immunity from damaging floors is very useful by the late game.

    Yeah, I know. The thing is, it's the process of unlocking them that is annoying me.
  • TachikazeTachikaze
    I didn't unlock find passages the first time I played FF5. I just used a walkthrough. >.>

    ^^^^ How can anyone not like Gilgamesh Morphin' Time though?

    Loser
    TheConductor,
    With that out of the way: Games are (meant to be) fun. If someone has fun using a walkthrough (or not using a walkthrough is stopping them having fun) then that's okay. If working out the entire game by themselves is what what they find fun, that's okay too.

    Yep, I tend to agree. Plus, using a guide for games like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon that are more open-ended makes sense to me since it might actually add more replay value to those games and is pretty distanced from cheating in the traditional sense.

    I think altering a game using Action Replay and such crosses the line a bit for me, but only really when you use it for a competitive advantage. For example, I am not a fan of cheating using a device to breed and train Pokemon that one will use in an actual competition rather than EV training them the normal way.
  • CrimsonCrimson
    Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    ^Most people who do the latter only do it to save time, as it's very tedious to build a full team of 6 the normal way. Besides, if the result is legal (no Pokemon with impossible movesets/abilities) and they (god forbid) don't actually cheat within the battle itself, then I see no problem with it.

    Though, a lot of actual competition takes place over Pokemon Online, which bypasses all this. So it's mostly moot.

    FF6 and FF5 are the best Final Fantasy games (no counting spin-offs; FFT is the best Final Fantasy game overall).

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Of the ones I played, FF4 held my interest for over an hour and a half, so I'd have to call it the best, or at least the least bland.

    YES YOU ARE ALSO A BRO. I sincerely hope they get a 3DS remake, they're overdue.

    Gameplay-wise the GBA and DS versions are the best because they offer customization.

    Only ones I've ever played are the Final Fantasy I and II remake Dawn of Souls and Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced =/

    Oh, right, I did play FFTA. I actually quite liked it, in contrast to my attitude towards the rest of the series.

    Though I kinda had this nagging "is it really okay to destroy an entire world and several species because you're homesick?" in my head the whole time.

    According to what I've read, I'm fairly sure that that's a translation issue, and in the Japanese version Ivalice was actually a dream world or something.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Wow. That's...one hell of a translation error.

    It definitely explains the whole "it's escapism!" thing.
  • NovaNova

    And it's why the main character was trying to destroy the world- essentially, he's trying to 'wake everybody up', if that makes sense.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Well, yeah. I thought that spoke for itself if it's a dreamworld.

    Yeah, but nobody ever seems to get that :C

    That's a ridiculously big thing to leave out of the translation. >.>

    So, I'm looking at the wikipedia page for the sequel to FF4 and...what the hell? 3700 wii points (I think that's $56 buying points cards) for the full game...or roughly $60 (could've sworn I saw it for half that at EB once) for the full game + an extra scenario and the original FF4 on PSP.

    I'm not sure how it was said in the original though. Can't read Japanese. So...

    Final Fantasy IX and IV (I think it was IV, IV was the one with Kain right?) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All other Final Fantasy games.
  • TachikazeTachikaze
    Add V in there and I'll agree with you. But yeah, IV had Kain, who I guess is kinda awesome. >.>
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    I can't remember if I played V or not...D:
  • KinkajouKinkajou

    Hey, V is awesome. Characters are fun and none of them are angsty fools that are killing FF.

    The characters are great, the villain's pretty intimidating...for a tree and Gilgamesh.
