Yeah I think so. The one when I seem I`m about to beat and then it just doesn two moves in a row that do massive damage to all my characters.

I think I should replace Strago with that wild boy.

Is the ending long? I remember the ending to FF9 was one of the longest endings I ever saw in a game. Is this longer?

I don't recommend Gau for this fight because you can't control him. I like Edgar, Sabin, Celes/Terra, and whoever else you like in fights. I used Locke, but I don't remember if he had anything worth stealing.

definately use terra and edgar... use thigns such as the auto-crossbow and if you have it, the chainsaw and stuff... the drill is nice too. And celes and the 4th guy anyone other than gau/strago/relm and stuff. Such as locke or sabin or setzer

and keep this in mind... you'll understand what im saying when you get a little bit furter in the game...

NO MATTER WHAT... WAIT FOR SHADOW!!!!!!

Did you see the flash animation with the consoles fighting the PSP?

That long.

I thought the ending for FFVIII was longer than FFIX's. And better. (Zell chokes on a hot dog, heh heh...).

No FF9`s ending is way better and the consoles fight the PSP ending. That`s like 30 min.

FF9's ending is my all time fav. It did such an awesome job of wrapping up such a superb story. But I think all FF's endings are good anyways. The truth is that Final Fantasy is one series that truly rewards you at the end for all your efforts. I can't honestly really think of one ending I didn't like.

Yeah, but the ending to FF9 was kinda corny.

[SPOILER] "I thought you died"
"I couldn`t die."
That`s great Zidane, but at least explain how you survived the Ifia Tree. "I couldn`t" doesn`t cut it. [/SPOILER]

I personally think its too early to make an FF9 remake. A sequel would do wonders. Alot of things in that game need to be explained.

Yeah, the consoles vs PSP animation is the FFVI ending, in case anyone was wondering and didn't catch my amazing subtlety. Not exactly, but pretty close. About half an hour. I remember one site or gaming magazine that described FFVI as 'the most cinematic without actual cinematics.' That was an awesome ending. I liked it a lot better than FFVII's 'wait, what just happened?'

Yeah I know seriously. If they didn`t make a sequel then.....ugh.....

FF10-2 would`ve been great if Tidus was the main character.

[SPOILER] Why couldn`t they have brought him back during the game? And I hope X-3 comes out good. I here its more than a rumor now. [/SPOILER]

An FFX-3 would be HORRIBLE!! X-2 was bad enough... IMO they should stick to making originals. *wants FF12*

What does IMO stand for, and an X-3 wouldn`t be horrible because it would to be more like 10 than 10-2. Why?

[SPOILER] Tidus is back. [/SPOILER]

Ok I now know what IMO stands for.

Is there such thing as an online version of Final Fantasy Tactics?

So, FF7: AC will be released in September 15th this year. Even check the official website for it. It`s telling you how many seconds until it comes out.

FF12 will be released in March of next year....ugh....FLIPPIN delays. Curse you!

I want an FFVI remake for the GBA now! -And Chrono Trigger-

FF5 is a game I play when I`m bored and it`s all about Gameplay, not story.

I`m at the VERY begining of FF4. From what i`ve seen it looks like it has a deeper story than FF5.

I`m still debating if I should buy FFTA or not. I heard it defaces the job system like Tidus defaces masuline main characters ( I`m sure you`ve all heard that one before). XD

Get FFTA. Its job system is fine. And Tidus is plenty masculine, just not stoic and emotionless like the previous few, excluding Zidane.

I guess your right. Tidus and Rikku have identicle personalitites....well, i guess npw that you mention it Tidus was the coolest.

Priest: You cannot enter, the gods forbid it.
Tidus: Like I care.

Or something like that. I may get to buying FFTA sometime but you can`t turn it off in the middle of a battle, turn it on again and be in the same place liked fire emblem which is the main reasons I was hooked to Fire Emblem.

Believe it or not, I'm playing through FFVII right now for the first time. (Ok, so I did play it years ago, but I think I was too young for it. I didn't get far to say the least.) Anyways, it's been a blast playing it again. I'm at the north cave right now. (pretty close to the end of the game) I've died twice since I wasted my savepoint thingy and wasted like 4 hours of my night because of it. Oh well. Tomorrow's another day.

I plan on getting FFVIII after I complete this one. Then I'll go for IX, etc...

FFTA was a great game.The job system wasn't as deep as the original but it was still pretty fun. Too bad I spent like 100 hours getting all the best equipment and leveling up only to find out after beating the game and getting that new game+ thing that I couldn't complete all 300 missions because I threw away some rare mission item! Tip: only throw away chocobo eggs, gysahl greens, and items from repeatable missions.

Just a qucik note on the ending stuff again:

SE makes incredible endings, but they don't seem to be much for actually tying everything up. I mean, maybe they wanted to leave everything open for the fans, but there always seems to be something we don't know about the games after we're done.

You do realize you`re on the last dungeon in the whole game? At the ending, you fight the last 4 bosses. More like 3 bosses actually, considering the fact the last one has 1 HP and is more of a story.

And don`t wait till you beat it to buy FF8 and 9. I played through FF8, FF7, and FF9 at the same time. Wait, no, I beat FF7 while in the middle of FF8, then bought FF7. The first one I ever played and beat was FF10. My favorite FF is a threeway tie between 10,7, and 8. 9 is like a mix of old and new school FF. Old School being 6 and under, new school being 7 up (That`s a soda).

And Fireproof, I`ve been debating with myseff to either get FFTA or Golden Sun, and I`m still having a hard decision. Help me guys, I need a gameboy game.

Yup, I realized that. I need to train my peeps before I go back to the boss fights. I've died twice. (that's how I wasted 4 hours) And I've missed so much in the game... Oh well. It's been a blast.

Oh, and my friend is letting me borrow VIII! So, I'll be starting on that one pretty soon. :D

FVIII awesome play but the Magic System is much different than FF7,9, and the rest......either PM me for details or just ask your friend. Either way.
