    You guys are looking at it all wrong. Fires of Heaven!?! That hive of scum and villainy!?! You all totally don't want to ever go there! Even I only dare to tread in the EQ threads on the MMO subforum, Zaide said as a bead of sweat rolled down his face. In the age of everyone bothering you to...

    Oakwynd ended up with some industrial tier PL operations running all day and all night. You'd check the parcel merchant by the FP bank and if the servers hadn't come down in a while they'd have shit like 50,000 fire emeralds, tens to hundreds of thousands of each piece of cash loot and thousands...

    If you had told me I was willing to listen to Suineg talk for 90 minutes I'd have called you a liar but this was very interesting. The zero enforcement for economy warping behavior is the missing puzzle piece for a lot of questions. If they weren't on the ball for big shit how could they ever...

    At the moment FF1 is probably my favorite but my top slot is never static. My last run through FF6 I tried to be cute and do it low level until the better esper bonuses are available and it was went poorly enough that it soured me on a game I loved. That's not FF6's fault. It's my fault. That's...

    I wish Vaniki had been a success. It was really neat until the challenges became unrealistic but with the low pop and mediocre reception it's unlikely we get more experimental rule sets. It seems unlikely the cheating is going to get reigned in by May and given how comfortable people got...

    He's weak to the gravity spells you can draw from him. Instead of draw - store you draw - cast. It can be messy but you can beat him the second you get handed the item that summons him.

    It's so much easier to just play TT for like an hour in that first garden. The guy at the front gate, play him until you get enough cards to refine three sets of 100 Tornado and then never look at it again.

    Those things suck in general. edit - if you play more cards you can refine those cards in to items and then use those items to upgrade your weapons The answer to every problem in FF8 is to play more cards.

    Right. You haven't done a low level run. I'll help you out. The proper criticism of a low level run is it makes the game too easy. It's basically story mode. edit - the monster design is indeed sweet, I loves me some Doomtrain

    I suggest a low level run because it sets you up to to be congruent with the mechanics of the game. Monsters level up as you level so advancement is hollow. Triple Triad is a primary source of magic, items and even abilities. Turning off random encounters puts the story front and center. Play...

    C'mon. Leveling up Card and the different refinement abilities on GFs is power gaming? It's either level those up, which you are able to start grinding in the first 15 minutes of the game, or using Draw and Draw fucking sucks. I provided what I thought was the best advice I could which is...

    Going step by step with the card guide isn't necessary but it explains how to not shit up the rules you play by along with where big cards are. Doing that yourself blind on a game that's 25 years old that you're already not having a great time with is Not Worth.

    He's a big boy. He can handle it. I bought FF8 when it came out and hated it for like fifteen years. Grind for one hour with Seifer at the start, never level, play cards makes it actually enjoyable. If you try and play FF8 like you would FF7 you'll hate it and yourself. You don't even have to be...

    Ok, so. FF8. Drawing sucks. What doesn't suck is playing Triple Triad for cards and refining those cards through GF abilities in to items and magic. Here's what you can do. Start a new game and run from everything in the first cave. Gain zero exp until you get put in a group with Seifer. Equip...

    People will show up for launch because launches are a unique animal but the last couple of years fucked enough things up that a lot of people have a bad taste in their mouth. Vaniki was kind of a mess but not a ton of people played there. Oakwynd had solid numbers but it also had a burnout...

    Oh, I haven't seen it yet and didn't know they cut Chris. He was smaller than his brothers with less talent and got pushed in to a spot he wasn't ready for. When he couldn't measure up he killed himself. There's something unpleasantly meta about him not making the cut in the film as well.

    2001 spends a great deal of its runtime on things floating in space. There's a fine line between stylized minimalism and the director fucking with you.
