    Grand Theft Auto V

    I was going to wait until the price dropped, but you all are making a good case for this. I have two questions though: What kind of settings can I expect to run it on? i5-3450, HD 7850, 8 gigs RAM. Am I going to be able to play with keyboard and mouse? Or do I need to invest in a controller?

    Ah. Well, I'll probably go with Wakka then just because of the ranged part. Tidus' limit seems more useful, but it seems more like another character to get smacked around. And with carrying Rydia and Aerith, that's the potential for a lot more damage. Whereas with just 2 front row characters...

    Not a big fan of the Caps shooting that low amount of times. Basically the complete opposite of their strength. That said, my hopes were high after that goal with like 5 to go. Missed overtime because I was driving back from the gym.

    Getting close to 50 for Cloud and Sephiroth. I'm torn on using Tidus, Dk. Cecil, or Wakka for status unit. Filling out my team with Aerith and probably Rydia.

    That meat place by the Slater 50/50's guys sounds tempting. I enjoy 50/50, so I imagine at worst it'd be "good."

    There are quite a few good places to eat in Gas Lamp. I really enjoy Cafe 222 for their breakfast. La Jolla has some damn good food too (Cody's...also breakfast type food is amazing). Old Town isn't bad for Mexican. USS Midway is pretty cool if you've never been on a decommissioned ship...

    Yeah, the cap numbers only matter at certain dates of the year. As long as you're under by that date, you're fine. And I want to say it's sometime after training camp.

    I thought he was referring to farming orbs and shit from elites? The Rufus stage gives you about 500 magicite for 11 stamina, whereas the regular stages are about 400 for 10 stamina. Just outright it's a better ratio. Add on the 900 for completion and you'd be retarded not to run it.

    I went ahead and made Power Break and Magic Break because they're already needed for the current elites. I also made Drain Strike because I've heard it's incredibly useful. If I can, I'll do Bladeblitz (need 8 Greater Wind, so 24,000 points). Hit all target physical attack? Yes please!

    The big issue for me is that the rates are ridiculously low; around 5% that you'll get a 5*. I'm not spending money when the odds are that bad.

    Yeah, haven't quite finished hard yet (1 + boss left) and I've got just over 6k. That's a lot of drops. Edit: After finishing all three difficulties, I ended up with 13,285.

    Nice, my Sephiroth with Masamune was doing 9999 on easy. Doing about 4-5k on normal now. This is also way better than the current JP event. Looks like about double the amount of droppables.

    Starts at 5 or 6pm PST today. How did you go about doing Magissa and Forza? Shit is absolutely wrecking me. They both hit for 1k+. The strategy I saw had you silencing Mag, and sleeping Forza. Silence lasts like a minute real time though, so if you miss a single time you get fucked. And then...

    Probably not worth posting since it may change, but it looks like you'll get about 2480 greens for clearing all three stages of the event (easy, normal, hard). After that, each run of hard will net you about 425 greens. Aerith should cost about 4000, which means you need to run hard about 4...

    Well, I should have no trouble raping this event. Level 40 Sephiroth with Masamune? Ok then. I'm a bit sad about the elites too, but they'll have harder content soon enough. There's shit on JP that is wrecking me right now.

    I think I did Mom Bomb and Sinspawn (the last one on X) last night and I used Dragon summon for both. It rocked the adds. I'd say it's definitely worthwhile to have. I'm doing elite Siren right now and it's 14 stamina for the trash floors, and 15 for the boss. 57 total stamina just to clear...

    You kind of got in late with them decreasing the difficulty of elites yesterday. Most of them had their hp cut in half. They now mirror the JP elites more closely. Why they made ours much harder, though, is anyone's guess. That said, as you move through them, status effects become a lot more...

    Looks like I'll need to shop around for a different lender when we make an offer. The one we got preapproved with had about $8k on a $220k loan at 3.5% (although that includes a VA funding fee of $4730). Wife and I both have 800+ scores.

    Tyro is one of the most versatile characters in the game, since he can use every item and ability. Having a 5* weapon makes an absolutely huge difference though. I have Masamune for Sephiroth and it really just rapes everything (and holy shit at the Limit Break). Today's the first day I'm...

    Apparently using the Mist Dragon to take out the adds makes that fight a lot easier. I'll be attempting it in the next day or so. So use Dragon to take out adds, and blind the main boss and it's cake. Mist Dragon is also really good for taking out the Mom Bomb adds after it explodes. Edit...

    Is it the bosses, trash, or both, that are now easier? I'm getting ready to do Wind Raptor, although it requires a retarded amount of stamina (71 total). It should be cake since I apparently have a TON of FFV gear, so I'm not sure if my experience with it will be representative of how the...

    You have to keep in mind this thing is only like 3 weeks old. Brave Frontier I don't believe had much content worth a crap in the first month. I doubt PAD did either. Apparently this morning they lowered the difficulty on elites a bit. So far I'm done with VII, 2/3 of X, and a couple of IV...

    Yeah, I'm not sure if that's a bug or what, but it's pretty stupid. The hard dungeons seem to be slightly more difficult than the VII elites (trash) to me. Maybe on par with IV elites. The armor/weapon hard's are by far the easiest though, and I think the exp one is probably the hardest...

    I'm confused as to how/why these episodes were leaked. I remember Showtime used to purposefully release theirs, but this is strange to me. Either way, I've read the books so I'll just wait for HD rips.

    Sounds like Aeris should be coming next. The event will likely be a collection event as opposed to the two we've had so far. I'm currently running a team on JP with Aeris, and I think I like her better than Rydia.

    The blue glowing is gear and character synergy. It's actually pretty important as it's required for a lot of the content. It amounts to matching the places you're clearing to series characters and gear. It provides a huge bonus, where 3* items can be comparable to 5*.

    There have been a lot of posts on Reddit of people 20-22 beating Rufus. It's honestly not that bad. Considering the game is like 2 weeks old, I think they're throwing soft balls out for a while.
