Description I started playing Final Fantasy VII for the first time. (15 years late... ) The graphics may have aged poorly, but the game as a whole I am finding really fun- haven't gotten bored once in the 20 odd hours I've been playing! I'm at the end of disc one and have to figure out how to beat the boss, it manages to kill me in one blow. :c

Cloud's a character that I'm finding more interesting than I thought I would. I actually drew him once before because I liked his design, but this is the first time drawing him while actually knowing anything about the character. Haha.

Cloud's design is really great, I can see why so many enjoy drawing him. I tried playing the game while I was at my friend's house and really enjoyed it. Wish I could finish it! As for the drawing, the thing I like most about your art is the way you capture the "essence" of the character. I feel like your art has got a lot of personality. I like how the colours remind me of the game, and that he looks like he's in deep thought.

A lot of personality? Oh wow thanks a lot, that's a big compliment to me haha :'D It also makes me happy you think I captured his essence. I hope you get a chance to play more of the game at some point! I've been having lots of fun with it.

One of the greatest games of all times! I'm so freakin' obsessed with it. xD; But I love all the Final Fantasies equally for different reasons. Even if there is a lot of hate on the new ones, I still think they have an amazing story and I love the characters. Lmao.

I love this. Looks wonderful! His hair looks fluffy. xD; I think I'll keep this on my screen and huggle it. Lmao.

I'm really enjoying it so far! I've played 13 and 13-2 as well and I do think they have their good qualities... I'm quite fond of some of the characters (like Hope!) and I found 13-2 fixed most of the problems that I had with 13, so it was pretty good.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it. :'D

Yes yes! I played so many Final Fantasy games I can't remember which I started playing for the first time. I remember the stories to all the ones I got though. Lmao.

At the beginning of FFXIII I never was keen on Hope, then he grew on me. xD I felt he was whiny, but later on he gets braver, etc. So I ended up liking him eventually anyways, I think Vanille evened him out and helped a lot. Fang was originally suppose to be a male character, but they ended up changing her to be a female. xD; Made me laugh. Lmao.

I really get attached to the characters though. I got so attached to Aerith when I found out what happens to her close to the end of Disc 1 I stopped playing for like a year before I picked it up again. LOL! Though Final Fantasy VII was the game that changed my views and opinions on life and expanded how I see things a lot more. The ones I have (including emulator) is:

Final Fantasy I and II: Dawn Of Souls (GBA)
Final Fantasy III (DS - Never was released internationally until the DS came out)
Final Fantasy IV (DS)
Final Fantasy V (Emulator)
Final Fantasy VI (Emulator)
Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
Final Fantasy VIII (Emulator)
Final Fantasy IX (Emulator)
Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2)
Final Fantasy XII (PS2)
Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360)
Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Xbox 360)

I wish I had the actual copies of the ones I got for the emulator. D: Hoping I can still get my hands on them eventually, but since it's a popular series it won't be easy. I still would like to play Final Fantasy X too. D:

As Timone and Pumba always say... It's not like it's LOVE!

I'm glad to have found another person who is now a fan (whether you just became a recent fan or been one for a few years, I hope you know what I mean.) Haha.

Hope is a bit of a whiner most the game, but I couldn't help feeling badly for him because of his mom ;_; poor little guy haha. I like his relationship with Lightning. That's one thing I'm sad about 13-2, they didn't have any parts with Hope and Lightning together. Actually, I thought Hope's character was pretty boring in 13-2, disappointingly. :C Maybe because of a lack of character development in the game. I'm not planning on getting 13-3 but if there actually is further character development of the older characters I might have to play it... x)

Fang was originally going to be male? All I can imagine is.. Noel for some reason hahah. Is there any official art for male Fang? Now I'm interested to see what he would've looked like.

Ahaha. I'm sad about Aerith... I found out what happened to her before I got to that part, and I was like, "Noooo..."(plus her limit break is very useful :C )

Quite the collection you have! I have XIII, XIII-2, VII, IX (Haven't played it yet but I will as soon as I'm done VII), and no one ever counts the Nintendo exclusives, but I have FF Crystal Bearers as well which is actually quite fun >_< I'd love to play X as well- I hear they're coming out with an HD remaster of it soon!

I've admired the Final Fantasy series from the sidelines for quite some time but never had a chance to play one from the main series until a little over a year ago, so I'm pretty new! (Unless you count Crystal Bearers, which I played a few years ago.)

Yeah Hope was, but thank god he gets tougher eventually. xD; I felt bad his mom died too. >: At least Vanille is all cheerful so I think it might've helped Hope besides having Lightning with him. ;3 I don't like Hope x Lightning as a pairing I can only see them has a brother and sister relationship. Haha. Well don't forget Hope wasn't the main character of 13-2 though. I liked Hope in 13-2 despite not as big of a role like in 13. They could've just wanted to focus on Lightning, Serah and Noel the most since Serah and Noel are the main characters and all and Lightning's role was important to the story whereas I felt Hope wasn't as important. xD Snow didn't change at all either in character.. still a hot headed guy. xD; I'm glad Vanille and Fang made an appearance. I cried when I saw them. >: I stille need to get the secret ending.... two more fragments... Beat every monster for the beastery and the slot machine one.... >:

Lightning Returns seems interesting though; saving the world in 13 days and depending on your choices you can make time go backwards or forwards. I like different though... I never really minded the change in game play.

Sadly, I don't know if there's any official art of a male version of Fang. I never looked to see. Lmao. I read it on Final Fantasy Wikia though. The before Lightning her hair was a little more like a salmon colour then it is officially now. But those are the only two changes I remember. Lmao.

I built Aerith up really well... then I found out she dies and there's absolutely no way of saving her either. >: I was so dumbstruck. What disc are you on? In one of the discs you have to return to the Midgar Slums or whatever again.. go into Aerith's Church. (Not going to tell you who or what is in there though. Eheheheh.)

Ah, yes indeed... my work for collecting Main Final Fantasy Storyline Games is never done. Whether the story might be bad.. I'll still end up loving it. Lmao. Of course I have dislikes and likes and preferences to games, but I still end up falling in love with them anyways. xD I haven't gotten uber far in FFIX yet, but the story is love. You'll like Zidane I think. xD If they come out with it again and they make for the 360 as well as PS3 I might get it just because I don't have it at all... though I'd prefer the original then a revamped game though. It's just I'm all about nostalgia. Haha. I hope you don't think that's weird. ~.~

It's never too late to join the band wagon! -Makes some room- NOW YOU HAVE A SPOT! I've been playing since I think the beginning of 2006 or sometime earlier then that... of course that's approximately since I don't remember exactly when. xD Lmao.

FF Crystal Bearers.. isn't that part of the Crystal Chronicles? Because I have... Final Fantasy Echos Of Time. Yeah, I think the story(ies) is/are really touching. The movie FFVII:AC which is two years after the events of FFVII game was good too. They wanted the main theme to be about "Life".

Phinnimonster In reply to Sarikyu [2013-03-01 01:48:02 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, at least Vanille's cheerful, even though she's a TRAITOR dun dun dunnn... actually I'm still not really sure what happened there with her and Dajh. I think I have to replay the game to understand what happened I don't see Hope and Lightning as a pairing either, more brother and sister. (: Yeah, I think they wanted to keep the focus on Serah and Noel. Snow's appearance felt awkward to me, though, I would've imagined it to be much more emotional considering Snow is Serah's husband and all haha. Felt unresolved... then again, I've only seen one ending so far so maybe there's more to it? Oh gosh that slot machine, I have bad luck with it even when the machine is "on fire" T-T

I'll be interested in it if it's different enough, I'm more worried it's too similar to the other two. So far the trailers I've seen haven't been very exciting, but I'm still keeping my eye on it. Most of all I wish Versus would come out, it looks exciting ;_;

I haven't played in a couple days, I'm still on the last boss of Disc 1. I got stuck because it manages to knock out my entire team at their full health with its aqua attack, but I just remembered I have a Water Ring I can equip so I'm going to try that. And hmm, interesting to see who will be waiting at the church... [:

If I end up liking IX as much as or more than I'm liking VII, I may end up trying to collect all the games, myself x) I hear VI is very good... and there's such a mixed reaction about VIII that it makes me want to play it even just to find out why! I've wanted to try XII for awhile, too. Nah, it's not weird to prefer the original version! I think unless there's something about the newer technology that seems like it was practically made for a remake of a particular game, it's a bit redundant to remake it. I can see a remake of VII being cool because the original graphics are a little, uh, less than impressive (although they've grown on me ) and they could have fully orchestrated music- with the right people working on it they could completely reinvigorate it (and maybe even the entire FF franchise) for today's audience. On the other hand, I recently heard they're remaking The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, which frankly I don't understand. I don't see anything wrong with the original- the graphics are still holding up, too. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

Yesss my very own spot on the bandwagon. :')
Yup, Crystal Bearers is in part of the Crystal Chronicles. If I get around to it I'd like to play the others in that series. I plan to watch Advent Children after I finish VII!

I like Hope and Vanille as a pairing. I think she suits Hope though cause of their personalities. The sunny cheerful girl who deep down worries and the boy who's mother dies, and is whiny but eventually finds his bravery when he's along side everyone. xD; Well.. kind of like that. Haha.

I don't think personally she was a traitor though. You might be thinking about Ragnarok? Fang and Vanille were granted power of Ragnarok and given the Focus to destroy Cocoon. But Vanille got tortured, so Fang volunteered instead to protect Vanille, then basically Fang went all ape shit because of Ragnarok, but it stopped and failed and she turned human again. Don't forget everything that happened Vanille always felt guilty and sad about, she cried quite a few times from it too.

Apparently Versus "The actual mechanics of the battle system will be a realistic derivation of the battle system used in the Kingdom Hearts series. However, the battle system will also incorporate an evolved form of the third-person shooter elements found in Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII." That was a little bit I found about it's game play. The article is too long for everything, but that's just a tiny part of it. I watched a bit of a walkthrough for Cerberus and I was like "eh.."

I don't even own a PS3 anyways so I can't even play it. This makes me laugh. Lmao. "As of November 2012, Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been in development for exactly seven years. As a result, it currently holds the record for the longest amount of time ever spent developing a single Final Fantasy game. The previous holder was Final Fantasy XII, which had a total development time of five years." XDDDD;

FFIX is really good though you can't really compare games because every story is different. But that's how I feel. FFVIII is a VERY GOOD game. I don't listen to reviews online or listen to other people because it's their opinion, not your opinion on it. Me, myself, the story is good, the music is wonderful, etc. I have never been let down my a single FF game yet.

A lot of the generation now I find is "Graphics, graphics, graphics" and seriously that's a little annoying for me. "Remake FFVII" is all I ever seem to read anymore. I think graphics aren't really that important, that shouldn't be why it grabs a person's interest. Story and music honestly are way more important. I'm just uber passionate beyond belief when it comes to the games, seriously. Way too passionate then what my fellow friends and other people realize. xD; The entire FFVII Original Soundtrack is orchestrated. They even have concerts/symphonies specifically for the FFVII called "Distant Worlds". All the music is orchestrated and it's a huge symphony at that.

It was on the first game I actually played and grew up with. -head desks- I'm just really hardcore with FF... unbelievably hard core. Personally I don't want it. Besides there's already a FFVII PC version up and I'm sure the graphics are updated anyways. I'd laugh if that was the "remake". So people who don't have it can just get it for the PC. Lmao.

Why the hell would they need another Wind Waker? They already ruined OoT. The Water Dungeon is all coloured coated for god sakes to make it EASIER. Hearing that disappointed me. Making a dungeon easier... Pfft. Leave.It.Alone. And FFX's graphics original are fine. >>; They aren't even bad. Lmao.


Yeah, I got Echos Of Time from the Crystal Chronicles. I wish I had an actual copy of the movie. >: But I got Resident Evil: Damnation! LMAO!

Phinnimonster In reply to Sarikyu [2013-03-01 04:11:39 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I think they make a pretty good match, too. Speaking of which, for about half of XIII-2 I was convinced that Alyssa was actually Vanille in disguise. THEY LOOK THE SAME. And that's true, Vanille was just following her focus.

Seven years' development. It's a bit of a pain they won't just outright come out and say if it's cancelled or not. If they don't say anything about it at this year's E3... I'm afraid all hope might be lost.

Just watched some Cereberus gameplay. Looks like a Wii game with that pointer on the screen rofl.

I hear ya, sometimes I just don't want to hear anything more about graphics (in terms of polygon count, etc. I still think the visual style of a game is important, but that doesn't mean it has to look realistic). In any case, it's the gameplay, story and music that keep me playing.

Do they have studio recorded versions of all the VII orchestrated songs, or is it just live they play them? I've found a couple orchestrated versions online but not the full OST yet. :<

Haha, how funny would that be if they announced a "remake" and then just upgraded the graphics OoT-style and put it on PC? I think they're essentially keeping FFX's graphics the same, just basically doing whatever they do when they make those "HD collections" which no one can see a difference in from the original. But I'm actually not completely sure, I'll look out for more news about it.
They colour coated the Water temple? Wow. Hahah. I've mostly heard good things about the 3DS version, but I don't really feel the need to get a second copy of OoT. Nice that new players can be introduced to it, though.

You have Resident Evil: Damnation? Haha, nice. (That title makes me laugh...) I haven't played any of the RE games, but I hear 4 is good.

Sarikyu In reply to Phinnimonster [2013-03-01 07:51:57 +0000 UTC]

Haha. Really? I never thought of Alyssa being Vanille. xD; I hate Alyssa. >: Her voice annoys me and so does her character. Lmao. Also her hitting up on Hope (that's what it looked like to me) who has no interest in her to begin with anyways, was making me all "Dude back off god.. cramping Hope's style! HE HAS VANILLE!" XD

Well it took FF12 five years to come out though and hey it's out! I'm wavering if it'll ever come out. I read from time to time "it's been cancelled" then I'll see otherwise. So I just say screw it. Lmao. Even if it does happen, I can understand being disappointed, but for people to get all temper tantrum about it (which I've seen online. Haha. It's funny.) it's like "dudes grow up, ain't the end of the world." I don't know if I'd like Dirge Of Cerberus though.

I'm not too picky on game play. I can adapt quite well as long as I get a chance to get use to it. I'm pretty flexible with game play though that never makes me dislike a game. xD Sure some of it can be frustrating, but somethings just need to have the chance to get use to it. So I guess music, and story are my most important, then graphics then game play. xD But I know where you're coming from.

Final Fantasy VII does have their own actual Original Soundtrack (OST) that contains all the original songs from the game and onto a four disc soundtrack. I have it on my computer and Ipod. Sorry.. I should've said instead of "Distant Worlds" that the orchestra does tours and holds concerts. Distant Worlds is one of the titles that they called one of their tours. Sorry! I'm not good with explaining half the time! xD I hope I answered it right... I seriously hope I did!

Why wouldn't that surprise me in the least? Lmao. But Wind Waker would be hard to play on the PC though because of the sailing the sail boat while amongst other things... well may be they could do it in a way that it wouldn't be too difficult too. Haha. Never thought of that. I was never a Wind Waker fan though.. it was just one of those games that didn't turn my crank. Lmao. My best friend owns a 3DS and got OoT for it and that's how I found out. I dont like the 3D stuff... makes me eyes go buggy. Lmao. You can download OoT for the Wii and it has original looking graphics. xD; Better then playing it on 3DS and easier.Hell, I can't tell much difference between blu-ray and a regular DVD as is, let alone seeing the difference between HD FFX and normal regular FFX. Haha.

Yeah, I do have it. xD It was a good movie. If you have an open mind about gaming and not a strict RPGer and like other types of genre games RE is pretty good. I don't own RE4, but I watched the walk through for it so I can know more of the story better, and I liked it. xD; A lot of people complained about RE6, but the story was pretty good, sometimes the camera would be awkward because of angles and such, but I still enjoyed it. RE5 was also good. xD It's all about viruses and making humans become super humans. xD Also a lot of people complained that RE5 wasn't very zombie like, but the whole idea is progressing from a failure experiment to a successful experiment so it shows progression of almost succeeding, but still not fully there. Haha.

"Cramping Hope's style" hahaha, accurate. Wasn't exactly cheering for Alyssa, but whatever floats Hope's boat. I kept wishing I could grab Hope and put him on my team, though. x') Boy needs to get out a bit more in that game.

Yeah, no need to get temper tantrum-y about it. The only thing I'd say about it though is that Square Enix needs a bit more organization/time management skills, maybe.

Bad gameplay doesn't necessarily keep me from playing a game, actually sometimes I see it as a challenge HAHA. If it redeems itself in other ways I'll muddle through. It's hard to say what aspect of games in general I find the most important, because it varies from title to title. I mean, if I'm playing pong I'm not in it for the story. But if I'm playing an adventure game I expect a bit more.

I rarely use the 3D feature on the 3DS, I mostly reserve it for cutscenes. Can't stand looking at it for more than a couple minutes @_@ (Why 3D is so incredibly popular I don't know, because you're spendig more money for what is ultimately a more uncomfortable experience.)

Okay, I'll keep that in mind about RE. Actually, I'm not particularly big on zombies anyway so I might like RE5.

My jaw dropped when I first saw Hope... then I fangirl squeeled 'cause I was happy they gave each character a cameo appearance, etc. xD; People were all "How can Hope be like 24 years old, when it's 3 years after the first came!?" I was thinking "Well duh... obviously it's TIME TRAVEL to fix PARADOXES SO OF COURSE HOPE IS GOING TO BE 24 AND NOT 17!" Lmao.

Well they have other projects on the go too. So that could be eating their time up. Gaming companies seem to always have more then one project on the go. But I'd rather have a game that they took their time with then have a rushed came with a lot of glitches and bugs, though some put out updates for that and stuff. They're remaking FF14, doing Versus (that we know of), and probably a few others. Who knows.

Sometimes you got to just give game play a chance and adapt to it. I think a lot of people complain too much about that stuff. Dudes give it a chance and get use to it before bitching? Lmao. If it's RPG story is important and music. And not feeling like they "rushed" it to get it out.

Lmao. My friend I don't think she uses the 3D feature at all. But her DS Lite.. broke, so that's why she has the 3DS. The only reason why. xD; 3DS is kind of waste of money to me if you don't use the internet features, etc. too. The 3DS isn't very comfortable for me to hold either, and it's got a bit more weight to it then the Lite does and it feels like it'd slip outta my hands and doesn't have much of a grip feel to it. My Lite has like that papery, sandy like feel. The 3DS for me.. it's stick needs to be where the D-pad is and vise versa for the D-pad. xD; Also, needs to have a GBA game slot. >>;; The 3DS to me is just an updated DS... nothing special. Lmao.

RE4 people are infected by a.. wht I guess you can call a "parasite" like virus. xD; That's all I'll say. Haha. Gonna get my friend to play both RE5 and 6 (first 6) so I can scare the shit out of her. Eheheheh. xD;

I heard about Hope being in the sequel before I played it- it was one of the reasons I got the game hahah. I didn't know he'd be a NPC though, :c. Though I do like managing just 2 characters instead of 6, because in the first game I just focused on my main 3 and the others were left so long they maxed out their CP

Mhmm, they do look like they've got a lot of projects on the go (might even be making KH3?) and I'm hoping they wouldn't show trailers for a game and then have it drop off the face of the earth without a word.

A game that feels rushed is such a shame, especially when you can see a lot of potential in it.

I still use my DS Lite for DS games. I much prefer the feel of the buttons. Most consoles are just updated versions of the last one, and a way to make your old console outdated so you have to buy a new one to play new releases.

I found out in a trailer about Hope. Snow and Sazh was a surprise and I read about Vanille and Fang making a small appearance somewhere in it. XD; Lightning was obvious considering what the story was about. Lmao. I have a feeling Noel liked Serah too.. something just gives me that gut feeling about it. xD;

I heard about KH3, but I never found much information on it or about it. They do have due dates. That's not the word I want to say, but it'll do for now... I'll think of it eventually. But they can also post pone it for whatever reasons they need to. If they make a KH3, it'll probably be for the PS3, which of course I don't own. >:

Well when Skyrim came out there were a lot of bugs/glitches in it. My dad bought it so that's how i found out. He says it isn't as bad now because I guess of the updates they gave it. Hell in an RPG I play I can't sell or the junk part of my inventory or put it in storage. One one character I can, but my 2nd character... no dice. Cheeses me off. xD;

That's how I feel! Why should I have to buy one of their new consoles when mine still works perfectly fine. How old is the PS2 now and it still works perfectly? Lmao. Except it doesn't play DVDs anymore, but whatever. Lol.

Am I the only one who thinks that Lightning's XIII-3 costume is a downgrade from her last two? Ah, and could be Noel likes Serah... actually it'd be funny if Noel and Lightning ended up a couple. The two sisters each go on an adventure with the other one's future spouse ahahha.

Ah, do you think a KH3 would just be for PS3? I wonder if they'd do that, just give the Xbox users a little taste of Square Enix with 13 to tease them.

Skyrim looks like a major time sink, I feel like if I know what's good for me I should stay away.

That part bugs me too. My Gamecube still works fine (actually it's holding up better than my Wii. )

Hmmm... If you're talking about Lightning's black armour looking outfit, I prefer her XIII and XIII-2 a lot more. But it's all about preference too. In Lightning Returns to me it just looks alright, it's not a bad design, but it's as good as the previous ones either. Just gives me an alright vibe. xD; I don't think she'd go with Noel.. she gives me a "lone wolf" feel for her character. Doesn't seem the type of character that would have a love interest to me. Lmao.

Well... KH was only ever made for the KH1 is PS1, CoM is GBA and PS2 depending on the version, 358/2 Days is DS, and the newest one Dream Drop Distance is 3DS. I just get this feeling it'll be PS3 only, but I hope just a little bit that they may make it also for 360. If they made it for both systems I see it as a win/win for SE because some KH fans don't have a PS3 and other don't have a 360. Besides I think their sales would be higher if they made it for both systems too.

Skyrim for leveling and stuff is faster then Oblivion is. Thank god. I think it's one of those games you really have to be in them mood to play it though. It's a long game. ~.~ Haha.

Don't forget... the new Wii U. Haha. But my friend wants it because there's a Zelda game coming out for it, and she'll only get that console UNTIL the game comes out. Haha. I think giving a console only 5 years or so then making a new one is too soon. It doesn't give me enough time to even enjoy it.

Someone commented on the Lightning Returns trailer saying that she looks like she's stepping off the train after a cosplay convention ROFL, I thought that was funny. She is pretty lone-wolfish, huh. I don't really ship her with anyone, I just like her character in itself.

Remember that Microsoft doesn't have a handheld though so the handheld games could only be on DS/PSP, and FF was exclusively for Playstation from VII-XII until the newer generation came out (and there hasn't been a KH since then) so it's poooossible. I think it would be a win/win for them, too. And if they came out with it for Wii U as well, it'd be good for the Wii U.

Ah, the Wii U. Just what I've always wanted- a controller that takes up more space than ever before. (I'm waiting on Zelda as well.)

What? LMAO! It's funny, but I wouldn't go that far to say that. It just looks alright... it's not her best attire. I heard her attire is customizable though. I dunno. OH OH OH! YES YES.... -dies-

"Also, a new extended trailer has been released, featuring extended battle and exploration sequences, and features Noel from XIII-2, who appears to be fighting Lightning."

NOEL! NOEEEEEELLLL! I must watch this trailer. Ahahaha. Oh speaking of old characters. I read about Lightning reuniting with her former allies as well as Snow and Hope. xD; Haha. I'm fangirling now... anything with reunion makes me fangirl and happy.

Well.. yeah, Microsoft only has the Xbox console besides I guess PC... if you want to include that.. OH WAIT I FORGOT THE KINNECT TOO! The controller less Wii. Lmao. I just hoping enough so I don't get disappointed in the end. Like.. I hope, but if it doesn't then oh well. Haha. Final Fantasy XIV is only for PS3 (they're currently remaking it), but that's probably because of the online MMORPG feature though.

How big is the Wii U remote going to even be? Oo;

If it's customizable, that'll be good. :')

Yesss Noel. I like Noel. I think he has a cool design, too. (Dem pants) Looks like he's still wearing the same outfit in Lightning Returns, though... I mean, I like the outfit but that's a bit unexciting ;0
Yeah, I love reunions. I feel like I'm in on them somehow, as a player. x')

Whenever I see the Kinect or Playstation Move I'm like, Leave that to Nintendo you guys. Have you ever watched Feedbackula (on Gamespot)? It's really funny- the last episode was talking about people's reactions to the announcement of the PS4, and one particularly pessimistic person thought that the PS4 was probably going to force you to use the Move on every game and I was laughing because that would be such a bad move by Sony hahaha.

I know what you mean, kinda like how I'm hoping Versus is going to come out for PS3 but I'm not banking on it (with my luck it'll come out on PS4 OTL)

The Wii U remote is basically two Wii remotes with a screen in the middle. If you can imagine that size. [link]

Haha. It's what I read over the internet. Hoping it is anyways. Fingers crossed. I love Noel's shirt.. BUT THOSE PANTS MAKE ME LAUGH! It's like he's almost wearing a skirt. xD; At least he's sexy. >.>; I'd smuggle him under my sheets. Lmao.

I don't really like them personally. I feel like Nintendo is going downhill in console making. A friend and I agreed that they should stop making consoles and just stick to making games. Lmao. We're just that unimpressed with them now. xD; I haven't watched those before. Lawl. And what? Aren't they like separate systems? Lmao. They wouldn't make you use that with the PS4, not everyone even has one to begin with.

Practically... MAY BE THEY'LL CHANGE THEIR MINDS AND MAKE VERSUS FOR BOTH SYSTEMS! Haha. I can only dream. It said on wiki it's system is PS3... but that can change none the less.

What the hell? So it's a hand held Wii with no... like... ummmmmm... hack and slash body movement like with the old Wii? Oo; What? Lmao.

Haha, they're genie pants, man! Yeah I wouldn't mind hanging with Noel for awhile (:

It's hard for me to give a solid opinion on the Wii U as I haven't used it, but I'll say when it first came out I was like, "...whut" Just seems really clunky/unnecessary. Maybe I'll like it if I give it a chance. The 3DS though I think is a good system. Feels solid. (Even if I don't use the 3D much.) Why do all the companies have to come out with consoles all at once? They should spread it out a bit more instead of rushing and forcing out consoles before they've come up with something new and innovative.

Exactly, it's like the Wii Balance Board (I actually have one of those, but it's gotten maybe 20 hours of use in the 3 or so years I've had it).

That would be sweet if they made it for both systems! We'll have to wait and see.

I'm kinda confused about that, apparently there are games that allow you to use the original Wii controller too. But how do you use both at once, and also if you're using the Wii Controller what's the point of the Wii U hahah.

Haha. Why aren't these characters real... xD; I think they should be real people or let us live in the games. Lmao.

I don't even know how you play it. Do you play it on the TV or on that screen? Haha. xD; I don't like the lay out of the system at all. I don't like the feel of the console. xD; You forget to ask.. why can't nintendo put out any interesting games? xD; All I see are for like.. little kids lately. :/ It's rare to see a game that looks interesting besides Zelda. Though I liked the animation style and shading/colours they used for Twilight Princess and how dark the story is. :3 Wish they made another one like that. xD;

What the heck is a Wii Balance Board? Oo; First time hearing about it. Lmao. Perhaps they will.. if they did it for 13 and 13-2, then why not?

I'm confused by the entire console! Lmao. Totally know what you mean. May be if you're doing a two player game? I dunno. xD;

Yeah, come on, don't keep Cocoon all to yourselves, you guys.

I think you can play it on both. If you're playing on the TV the Wii U screen acts as a menu/map/extra buttons etc, or you can apparently switch to just playing on the Wii U screen.
Just because it's kid-friendly, doesn't mean it's uninteresting! That's something I like about Nintendo actuallly, their games can be more relaxing because they usually have a fairly happy theme haha. Uh.. except for, like, Metroid which is kind of scary hahah (but awesome series). Microsoft and Sony already put out a lot of dark games so if anything we need more lighthearted ones x) I do really like the style of Twilight Princess though (one of my fave games) so I sure wouldn't mind another like it! Did you see the Wii U demo with HD TP-style demo? So beautiful... *_* [link]

It's this pad you can stand on and it has sensors so it knows where your weight is placed on the pad- you can use it for stuff like snowboarding games and different Wii Fit activities.

Yeah, could be. Overall I think there's a lot of confusion about the system and Nintendo should really clear it up if they want more sales.

Haha. Not just Cocoon but all of the Final Fantasy Worlds and other gaming worlds too! XD Sharing is caring! Lol.

Ah.. it'd make sense to be able to play it on both. I like that they put games out for both age groups and all, but they haven't been doing much for the teens/young adults lately. I would just like more T-Rated games. Microsoft and Sony usually only look out for all Adults (M Rated), not so much younger. Though the only good Nintendo is doing is games. ~.~ I don't like any game they put out thus far. They remind me of what a pre-teens/little kids would play. X.x; I can't even play any game by them now anyways, cause it's either Wii or 3DS. Be nice if they made another Pokemon Stadium though for 5th generation... It's fun battling with friends. All the better games seem to be for the Wii now really.

Haha... They need more Mario games, they're the only ones I can never get bored of. Mario and Zelda are the best ones they can ever make. Metroid SNES was the best one. I wasn't keen on the Game Cube I think it was for??? I always thought Samus was a guy when I was younger.. then I saw her die and I was like "OH HE IS A SHE!!!!"

So it's like a mat you stand on with sensors? Lmao. Weird. xD; DDR anyone? Lol. Hopefully it's not hard to figure out. I'd rather play something like that on the TV then anything like the old Wii. Though... it kind of looks like that it'll be more "hand held" like then "Active" like. I dunno... too many new systems anymore. I'd rather stick with what I got. xD;

I want another darker Zelda Story though... it'd be nice if they did another darker like story. Twilight Princess animation, idea. I love Midna too. >.>;; She's so cute and reminds me of a cat. Lmao.

Yess, all worlds! Where is the key to open them... ahah.

I think I'd like to see more T-rated games too. 80% of the big Microsoft and Sony titles now seem to be M rated. Which is fine, but to be honest most of the time I don't feel like playing M rated games The rating system to me is kind of flawed. For example, SSBB and Uncharted are both "T", but Uncharted is incredibly more violent, I was playing it and I was like, "How... on earth did this ever get a T rating." It has people being impaled...
I haven't seen a lot of Wii U or 3DS games I've been interested in so far. The only must-play for me to date has been Fire Emblem: Awakening (FANTASTIC game by the way, especially if you're into strategy).

You didn't like Metroid Prime? Those are my faves I'd like to play Super Metroid at some point. And I like side-scrolling Mario; not as much the 3D ones.

Yeah, there's actually a DDR-like game for it, but I prefer actual DDR. x) Ikr, too many systems... I feel like selling all the ones I have and going back to Gamecube hahah. (That was a quality system...)

Miiiidna my fave companion. I used to draw so much and make fanvids of her and Link. ROFL. Epitome of cool. I would really like to see something else along the lines of Majora's Mask, with TP-like graphics. Yeahhh.

So.. we're trying to do the opposite of Kingdom Hearts - opening instead of closing them. Got it. LMAO! XD By the way.. Serah Farron's and Lust from FMA share the same voice actor too. xD;

Majority of my games are M Rated by Microsoft, only a few T Rated games. Some of the games I have I swear could probably rated T, but you know they need to have their butts covered because of those parents who will get all pissy about something in a game that their child plays and I mean about the littlest things. Lol. I never played Uncharted, but I have friends who like it and tell me about it. It sounds interesting, but not a type of game I'd play. I don't mind Strategy, but it has to be mixed in with Role Playing or something. xD Depends on my mood too. xD;

I never played Metroid Prime, I've seen it played and I was like "good story, music, etc, but looks difficult... x.x;" I was like younger then though, I play games that I do in fact can struggle in now. Haha. I kind of want to play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance because it looks a bit challenging. xD; And action. <3

Ahahahaha. xD Cool. You mean the one you play at arcades places? I wouldn't sell my gorgeous PS2 for the life of me like other people had done. The PS3 would be even better if they at least made it backwards compatible though for PS2 games. (We have a portable PS1 console still as well. Heheheh.) But that would be my only want for the system. xD 360 is backwards compatible with the Regular Xbox games, but sometimes it's horrible- crazy lag, etc.

I love Midna, Fai and Navi. People call Navi annoying and stuff, but I REALLY REALLY LOVE her though. Yeah, she tells you things you already know, but their for the players who are just "starting out". It's like "you think she's annoying... HAVE YOU EVEN PLAYED OOT AT ALL!?" The friggin owl is the ANNOYING ONE... AND AND AND TATL! Ahahaha. Her pinging sound. X.x;

At least Navi is cute and I love listening to say "Hey Listen" actually.. it makes me laugh. xD; I just love the voice she was given... I find it soothing or something like that. >.< TP Graphics it's darkness... was love. First Zelda game I laid eyes on that was Rated Teen. XD;

Reverse Kingdom Hearts: The Adventure begins. Serah and Lust have the same voice actor? Weirdest thing I've heard all day.

Yeah, I find some M games could've been rated Teen and vice-versa. They should get some more specific ratings haha. And I don't know if adults understand that M = R, but there are so many parents who let their little kids play M games

Metroid Prime is tricky, it's got lots of puzzles and figuring out where the heck you're supposed to go and how to get there. I love that scan visor. I wanted to play Metal Gear Rising because it looked cool until I saw the trailer and I was like there's so much gore it seems like a joke? I have the demo though, maybe I'll give it a go. Never played a MGS game, feel like I should at some point.

Really wish my PS3 were backward compatible, I've wanted a PS2 for a long time but I still have never owned one and now it's more a matter of space than anything else, I don't really feel like finding space for another console (plus the PS2 and PS3 controllers look annoyingly similar haha.)

I really don't mind Navi. She doesn't seem all that much more annoying than any other companion. I found hint-wise, Midna was the most useful (then again, maybe my view is skewed from playing that game so many times haha). That owl hahah, oh dear.. and Tatl's sound creeps me out because it reminds me of the moon :C
I kind of like the "Hey Listen" too, and haha I think I know what you mean by "soothing", and it can be kind of relieving to hear it sometimes when you're all alone in a dungeon I like the noise she makes when she flies, too, it's so incredibly recognizeable! The other day I thought I heard that sound and then I heard the "dunununununununUN!" (aka the "you just unlocked/discovered something new" Zelda sound) and I wanted to go over to the person and ask them how they were liking OoT hahah.

New game folks! Lmao. Reverse Kingdom Hearts! Lmao. xD; Yup yup. Laura Bailey does both voices believe it or not. I knew she did Serah and Lust, but my mind didn't seem to want to connect them that it was the same person... probably because my attention span for that is lousy and the fact I'm sometimes a little slow. LOL!

Lmao. I know right? I didn't start play M Rated games until I was sometime starting highschool. I think I was roughly 16 when I first got an M rated game, but by then I already heard every colourful word there is anyways. Lmao. There are so many young kids who play M Rated. I only played E and T when I was younger. Lmao.

I don't mind the gore personally. If you get your arm chopped off though.. expect a lot of blood especially decapitation and really deep wounds, etc. I find blood in general never looks realistic in a game. Lmao. I think that's because I watch too many medical shows. Lmao.

It'd be nice if it was. My friend and I discussed that, about backwards compatibility. The PS3 would be better if it had that, I think a lot of gamers would appreciate it. Like c'mon the PS2 is compatible with PS1 games. xD; I think it would've been smart if they did PS3 backwards too. They do look similar don't they. xD; I think the Xbox controllers too do. Lol.

Lmao. I loved Navi. xD; Also, Navi is older from an older game so... I don't think they thought that far ahead about usefulness, maybe? I think they improved on the hint usages pretty well. Fai is pretty useful in wise too. Though out of Fai and Midna... Midna is more a favourite. xD; Though I love both their personalities. ;3 Midna also reminds me of a cat with her persona. LOL!

Yeah, it relieves me when I hear it. Lmao. I love having her around especially when those Zombie humpers when you run into them the scream sounds appears and I'm all "Thank god I got Navi with me!" Thank god for the awesome companions (except Tatl). XD; Navi's flying sounds is adorable too! Yes.. the Owl... DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAD ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED THE WRONG BUTTON BECAUSE HIS QUESTION TRICKED ME SO I HAD TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE SPEECH LIKE 3-4 TIMES!

Laura Bailey... ah yes, Tohru Honda... OH GOSH SHE ALSO VOICES MARTH IN FIRE EMBLEM AWAKENING HOLY COW I LIKE THAT VOICE ACTOR. wait, what the hell, also voiced Belle?!!? from Crystal Bearers!!? what a dynamic voice actor gee.

When something has a high rating just because of the language I'm like although I've noticed there's usually violence to match. But not always! And vice versa.

I find when games try to look really realistic it just ends up being awkward. The closer you get to it seeming "realistic", the more of a "something's off" feeling you get. Did you see the Tin Tin cg animated movie? The visuals felt super realistic- and I mean the "super" part because something felt wrong LOL (still a fun movie though).

What really stumps me is that all PS3s are compatible with PS1 games, but only the first models were compatible with PS2 games. I hear the PS4 won't be backwards compatible at all (apparently you'll be able to "stream" PS3 games. If you have lightning fast internet )

I preferred Midna too. I liked Fi's personality but when she left at the end of the game I didn't feel devastated or anything. (The same cannot be said for Midna).

Hahahah arrrrgh redeads! Creepiest enemies ever :C (also not a fan of just about all the enemies in Arbiter's Grounds in TP) oh and those floormaster/wallmasters in OoT guh D:
Bahah speaking of having to go through the same thing multiple times, I was just playing some more FF7, at the snowy place on Disc 2 and you have to break those icicles, and after each one is broken it asks, "Would you like to jump down?" and I accidentally pressed "Yes" not once but TWICE so hurray extra unintentional levelling up for me bahah. It's always dangerous too with games where you're trying to skip text and at the end of the text is some really important decision and you press the wrong thing haha :'D

If it's minimum language like hell, damn, bitch, and bastard, I'm whatever kind of thing. A game like Nier is rated M. LOL.

Yeah, I think Sony was just like, "Well, we've sold enough units now that the PS3 is pretty popular, may as well take some value off this thing and not allow people to play PS2 games! Yay!" apparently the newer PS3s actually are still techically able to play them but you can't unless you mod the console since they've changed the settings. (So I don't think they've even saved any money by doing it? Except maybe they were able to sucker people into continuting to buy PS2s) I dunt get iiittt

Ha, that is what it looks like. I figured out in WW that if you jump attack them at just the right moment, even if they scream you'll still be flying through the air towards them and be able to hit them x) SATISFYING.

Trick wording, gahh... actually, I find FF7 has a lot of little tricks in it, they've caught me off guard but I love them! Like when you're trying to get Yuffie on your team... the fake save point AHH! That one was so good. And then the part where you ask her name, as SOON as it went to the name screen I was like, "She's gone, isn't she." Why is it I haven't seen a recent game with tricks like that?

I dunno how Sony would react, but modding on an xbox/controller is a biiiiig no no. LOL! BEsides Sony got hacked before. Lmao. I don't think they'd take things lightly with mods. Wish I could still buy PS2 games in stores. Lmao. Gotta go to used gaming stores to get them now. Usually they're in pretty good shape. I never had a problem thus far. EB when they sell used, I never had a problem. xD;

Lmao. That's hilarious actually. xD; "aaaaaah" while flying towards. It's like they're say "OH SHIT ABORT ABORT!" Lmao.

Oh yeah, the part with Yuffie. I got tricked by her once or twice. I really wanted to save my game. LOL! I was like okay... time to look it up in the copy of the walkthrough I own. xD; My party consisted of using Cloud, Aerith and Vincent. When she died I switched Aerith for Yuffie. So now it's Cloud, Yuffie and Vincent. xD Yuffie's limit break is pretty useful. xD;

Well... I'm sorry, I just looked it up in my Guide. It's an optional quest. Haha. You don't have to do it if you don't want too. There will be a person standing standing by the gate, and you speak to him to find this "item" to get back into Midgar Slums. Don't forget to talk to him a few times to reveal where it is you gotta look! (I wouldn't have know about this if it weren't for the guide I have. Lol.) I just wanted to make sure you knew about this if you accidentally missed this. xD;

Actually the guide says shortly after the beginning of the second disc you can do it. So after you're done whatever it is you're doing currently in it, you could check Midgar to see if someone is standing beside the gate if you want to. I didn't do this until third disc though. Lmao.

If you get stuck with that, I can tell you how to do it fully. But until then I won't. xD Only told you who to talk to to "start" your "hunt". xD;

Yeah haha, I wouldn't do it for 2 reasons: 1. If you do it wrong and ruin your system, ain't nobody gonna help you byebye warranty! and 2. Since the PS3 has mandatory updates, you'd basically have to... never play online again with it unless you want to risk A. the update resulting in corruption and B. getting banned.

I still see PS2 games for sale new (only in specialized stores, though). They must've made a looot of copies of some games. ;0

Haha "ABORT MISSIO-" oh too late.

I got greedy with the save point, haha. The game must know some players can't resist the chance to save... :') I had to try pretty much every option of replies to Yuffie before I got it right. Aaaalmost referred to a walkthrough but I managed to do it on my own, huzzah. I don't have Vincent yet! Can't wait to get him though, he looks cool. (I actually had no idea he was in this game until a couple weeks ago, always thought he was from some other game... actually I think I used to think he was part of the DMC series or something hahah).

I did too. ~.~; FF is a save save save type of game cause you don;t want to lose your data. Lmao. Oh wait.. you get Vincent in Disc 1. LOL! It's an optional quest.

Yeah, you did. Lmao. Shinra Mansion is in Nibelheim. Just explore the Mansion with ever nook and cranny. xD; Well it's all about exploration anyways. LOL!

In order to get to Vincent's "bedroom" in the crypts you need to open the safe and get the key for it. For the safe you need to find the combinations, then once found enter it into the safe. There's a boss battle I think after you open it. Once you awaken Vincent talk to him a few times. He'll join you when start to leave, if he doesn't you may not have spoken to him enough times.

The optional quests are easy to miss so I thought I'd make you life easier as possible. xD;

I haven't even started the story for the one I have yet and I think I had it since... middle of 2012. This is a record for me. I usually start the stories and get sucked into beating the game, but this... it's like "Maybe I'll beat it after I die." I just don't like anything about it. I find it unappealing and can't understand why it's loved. ~.~; I got Black Ops, not the other ones. I Just find it ultimately... boring. I like shooters, but I really dislike Black Ops. ~.~

There are a lot of things in that game that I probably missed as well. I never new about certain optional quests. The only reason I knew of Vincent easily is cause I knew he joins your party eventually. Lmao. I kind of wish Barret would die instead of Aerith. LOL!

In order to open the safe you gotta look for clues. XD; RPG is all about hunt and find and exploration. :3 If someone ever wanted to start trying RPG for a first time my No.1 recommended choice is the FF series. xD Heavy story lines are divine!

I played MW1. I found the storytelling compelling because it was presented in a way I hadn't seen before, and the controls are admittedly fantastic- there haven't been many games I've played where the controls felt so seamless. I've heard people complain about the newer games though and say they aren't as good. They do seem to be terribly overrated, everyone's always going on about "COD this" and "COD that" haha. I personally am not the biggest fan of shooters in general.

Hahaha aw, don't be mean to Barret. But.. I agree ROFL. Barret is one of my least levelled up characters. He's got to be at least 10 levels behind Cloud right now.

Yess, gotta love heavy story and explanation.

Yeah, I heard MW was pretty good with story telling, I never played it. All I hear is about Black Ops. Makes me think "it's not all that good..." I can't say for the others, but Black Ops I think is overrated. LOL! I don't have many shooters either. The ones I have are Ghost Recon Future Soldier, the RE5 and RE6 (although they're still listed as Survival Horror, it's still got third person shooting), Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, Black Ops (Don't like it) and that's roughly it.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 has a pretty good story. Actually Red Dead Redemption is a really good game. It's a western game. xD; It takes place in 1911, during the decline of the Old American West. xD Has a really good story.

Oh yeah, also when you go back to Midgar, remember the gattling gun on the ceiling of one of the buildings? Go there to get Tifa's best weapon in the game. xD And if you go to Nibelhein go to Tifa's house with her in your party and play the piano in her house to get her Level 4 Limit Break. xD; I dunno if you missed it or not so... xD I hope I didn't spoil anything for you. >:

I don't like Tifa either besides Barret... she's leveled uber badly. Lmao. I find her way to pushy towards Cloud. >.>; Sometimes I feel like she's forcing her feelings on him. LOL! Especially in the movie. >.> I found Aerith to be the best female. I feel like she's more understanding of him. I totally ship Clerith. xD;

I think the only ones I have are Lost Planet and Half-Life (which I haven't played yet, but I plan to since it takes place in the Portal universe *-*)

I didn't even realize Red Dead Redemption has much of a story. Good to know.

Hmm, thanks for those extra tips, I'll keep them in mind.
I'm not really sure what I think about Tifa, she's not particularly interesting, basically like.. stock video game female haha. There's always a lack of interesting female characters. They usually make it so the fact that they're a girl is their defining trait.

I never heard of those. Lmao. Oo;;

Yup. It has a story! I think it's good. xD I can't really call it a shooter.. it's one of those games I have a hard time giving a genre to so I just call it a western. xD; The main character use to be part of a gang/was an outlaw. The American Government I do believe took his wife and child and are holding them to get the protagonist to basically go after his former gang members, etc. There are other characters you meet too. You end up helping them as the main storyline. xD; I think it's interesting.

No problem! XD; It's hard not giving away spoilers. ~.~ Oh yes... you know that during the dating thing you can also go out on a date with Barret in the Gold Saucer and Yuffie as well? LOL! xD; Well I more or less starting disliking her when I watched Advent Children because Cloud is still like grieving or whatever over Aerith's death because he couldn't "save" or "protect" he actually states "But I let you die..." So he can't forgive himself for letting her die.

Tifa says some point in the movie "is it a memory or us?" and that really irritated me to no end. It feels like she doesn't give a damn about how Cloud feels about what happened to someone he cared about... a lot. It really irked me. Cloud is a person I feel like I can really really relate to besides Aerith. I just feel like she's pushing everything on him. Let the guy deal with things in his own way, if he wants to talk to you, he'll talk. If he doesn't, then he doesn't.

In the movie it takes place 2 years after the game. Yeah, I don't think you can get over some who was/is a close friend to you in a 2 year time frame. You can't just "move on" that easily. ~.~

You've never heard of Half-Life? ;O You know... the one where you can walk around with a crowbar... (how I've defined that game ever since I first saw a clip of it... still don't know much more about it besides that ).

Hmm, does sound interesting. Might look it up more.
A date with Barret ROFL. Oh man. Actually I might take Yuffie because I like her haha. Can you take Red? I like him too.

I see. Ah well, if we waited for him to talk on his own terms he might not talk the whole movie. Gotta get the ball rolling.
Poor Cloud, so sad. :C

Nope, I never heard of it. I still dunno what it is. xD; I don't watch much TV so if there were commercials of it, I would have never seen it. LOL!

You should. xD It's very realistic in the way of horses, etc. Yes.. Barret. LMAO! Trying to make Cloud look like a pedofile, are you? Lmfao. Actually, I don't know how you get a date with either of those two characters. You can't take Red though. xD;

Well... I really do feel for Cloud. xD; He's not the type who can just openly say how he feels and stuff like that. xD I'm the same way. Things like that are easy to talk about at all. ~.~; Cloud is troubled with himself. xD;

I could be reading too much into it to though, but the way she says it made me angry. xD;

I've never seen a commercial for it either, but it seems to come up a lot in game-related talk. I suppose it's mostly popular among PC gamers though, since the console versions of the game are rare (they're in a collection called The Orange Box, have you heard of that)?

Realistic horses? Score! Hahah. (I do like riding horses in games though, especially... EPONA). WAIT HOW OLD IS YUFFIE? I don't know how old she is.... what have I said. Hahaha.
Aw man, Red's left in the dust. With Cait Sith too, I suppose.

I'll have to watch it and see how I feel when she says it. Did you watch it in English or Japanese?

Sarikyu In reply to Phinnimonster [2013-03-15 01:03:38 +0000 UTC]

Ah. I never heard about it even for PC. No... I haven't heard of The Orange Box. Oo;

WELL.... THE GRAPHICS! THE GRAPHICS ARE REALISTIC! LOL! YUFFIE IS 16 YEARS OLD IN THE GAME! HAHAHAHA! Well.. .Cloud is 21 so a four year age different isn't a huge difference, but I had to say that. LOL! Well... wouldn't that be called bestiality since Cait Sith is practically a cat and Red is basically a dog. xD; Actually Red reminds me of an indian like look. xD; The feathers of the head, bangles on his wrist, etc. :3

I watched it in English. No differences with anything. The English voices are well done. :3
