    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    The Aeons (Espers) in XII were great. I'm pretty sure the final fight I did in that game was beating the 12th Esper. I could be wrong, but it was after the credits deep in a cave. I remember beating it at least, and it was a real motherfucker of a fight.

    Wii U

    Question about the Wii U's graphics playing standard Wii games.. Do both systems play the original Wii games 100% identical? It really seems that my original Wii with component (HD) video looks better than the same game on Wiii U's HDMI cable. Maybe it's that Wii U is only emulating the Wii...

    Gran Turismo 6.

    I bought this on Friday (anniversary edition) but haven't opened it yet. I've realized that I have a fairly large backlog of games and trying to do 100% in all of them takes WAY too much time. So now I'm going through my old games that I've previously never played, just to give them a once...

    So it seems that a lot of Xbros are really mad at Halo studios (Bungie). It seems that this go around, Destiny (their new game) is going to have permanent PS4 exclusives that will NEVER be available on the Xbone or 360. Bungie : Group : Posts They're also doing the world premier of...

    So, just need to do a quick derail. What ever became of EverQuest Next? I know a lot of us were all in during the opening announcement with that sand art bullshit, but what else has come out as far as the game is concerned? I don't want to read the 1000+ page post about it in the other...

    I had an email today from Amazon. Looks like Final Fantasy XV is scheduled for release in 2014. They gave me a place holder delivery date of December 31st, 2014. They gave me the same date for Kingdom Hearts III. Good deal.

    Wii U

    See, I liked Mario Galaxy because the Wii Controllers made it a fun and unique situation. Plus, you only flick your wrist a little bit. It's hardly like the old commercials where it looked like people were doing Tae-Bo to use the system. Anyway, here's a rundown of my savings on the Wii...

    Ok, but can't you use the wiimote & nunchuk for most things? Similar to the regular Wii, that is.

    Wii U

    Here's my update. I had to call 8 targets in my area before one finally had a Wii u. I just picked it up. Only a 23 mile drive from my house. Picked it up and 2 wiimotes and 2 nunchucks. Had 3 $100 gift cards. Total out of pocket was $62.84. Good deal.

    If amazon doesn't have a definite time frame, they grasp at the closest thing they have. In this case, they know Witcher is Coming in 2014, so the last possible day that would be is December 31st. It's a place holder date. If you look up Watch Dogs, it's June 30th. That's because it is...

    Wii U

    So, aside from the new Wii U controller & nunchuck, are there any "must have" accessories? I don't care about a mic or headset, as I'm not planning on doing any online gaming with this system. I'm also not going to get Super Smash Brothers, Call of Duty or Mario Cart, so I don't know if the...

    My target gift cards come in today. Armed with those and the $30% off coupon, I'll arrive home today with a Wii U, some extra controllers and some other shit. Good times ahead.

    South Park

    It was a different episode. I laughed at Princess Kenny splatting on the sidewalk. I know that he used to die all the time, but wasn't expecting it for this episode. I've also realized that I really am a PlayStation fanatic. I was angry that they declared Xbone the winner, when I guess...

    I think this really started in World of Warcraft. They started to introduce purchased pets and mounts... that spelled the end and lots of other games have adopted it since then.

    Here you go: Eurogamer's Martin Robinson has been playing the game and he says GT6's economy works exactly the same as GT5's, with progression, payouts and car prices very similar. You are gifted cars as before, credits are as easy to come by as always, and you are never prompted to buy credits.

    Why It Matters That PS4 Games Are Higher-Resolution Than Xbox One This GIF isn't a good example of the quote below. I personally like the darker look than the lighter one. It seems more realistic, IMHO. It's also very poor quality for both versions.

    It's actually been available most of the day. NeoGaf posted it like 5-6 hours ago. They must have finally sold off all of their stock.

    I do not have a son. Only a daughter. Who knows what the future will bring. We're intentionally not being careful just so we "might" have something later on.

    He didn't become my scout master until I first joined boy scouts. I was in cub scouts prior to that, and it was a different "group". When you went from cub scouts to boy scouts, you had different troop numbers to choose, and I went with the one that seemed more fun at the time. Realistically...

    I didn't "idolize" him, but I've always defended him in the past. When the priest touching boys scaldal(s) first started, people would comment about how a Scout Leader is really no different. I mean, they don't even have kids of their own, why the fuck are they involved with them? I ALWAYS...

    It was definitely the episode that was most similar to Zero Dark Thirty. This was a good episode.

    I've heard Knack explained as the Demon's Souls of PS4. Assuming you're playing hard.

    So... how did this deviate from the original? Just put it in a spoiler tag. Though I would assume that most of us have seen the original by now.

    Was MW3 the one where you walk through an airport and execute everyone you can? That was my introduction to the game. I enjoyed it. Neither of the Black Ops games did anything for me.

    I went to Game Stop last night to pay for Gran Tourismo 6 Anniversary Edition for the PS3. While there, I asked them about Xbox & PS4. The girl behind the counter said there were ABSOLUTELY more PS4 pre-orders over Xbone, but they got more calls about Xbone stock then they did PS4. As a...

    I can't get this song out of my head. I know it was posted a few posts up, but here's the official music video. I love the gaming references. Portal, Super Mario Brothers and a few others. Around 4:22 when he does the super-sonic speed part... holy fuck. Lyrical master.

    I wonder if Gran Tourismo (which comes out on Friday) can come up with a way to capitalize on this. Like don't race real cars, race a game that's as close to real as possible instead
