My friend Veritas, you have an excellent opinion of the game, and I agree with the vast majority of it. However, I'm still not sure what you mean about "bad" since you mention that the only weak points were how the story was told (which I actually enjoyed alot of the time, though yea, it got very complex/confusing/too-much-like-xenogears like =), it did have its points, like in the Dead Sea with the whole connection to CT which was awesome IMHO, and with some unexpected events) and how most characters are pretty worthless, which I agree. They could've REALLY cut down on characters. I can name 20-30 right now, but I won't...I love the game too much
I also agree with Ace, it's one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, up there with Zelda64, CT, Secret of Mana/Evermore, and...uhm...yeah =) Legend of Mana was good...in it's own genre of video games (or, rather, RPGs).
Dario was a pain, but I still beat him my first try =), and I agree, Karsh was tite, but Dario was pretty tite too, it's just stupid of him to propose to her then try to kill his best friend from stupidity lol.
And...what level glitch thing with Pip? What are you talking about? I'm unaware of that...
Also, FF8 really wasn't as bad as people say. It had an interesting story (not really brilliant, but better than some *cough*ff7*cough*), a fun card game, interesting characters, awesome fmvs, some cool gf's, and a unique magic/junction system which makes perfect sense after spending hours figuring it out >_<. Yea, it had several points about it that were annoying or just not that great, and there are better games, but it's higher on the ladder of the series than a few of the others. Now FF2J was BAD =)
Alright, enough crap from me. I've just spent the last few hours. Now all my characters and GFs are at lvl100, I have every card, every final weapon, all side quests finished, and almost all blue magic. I just need the last two, and to stock up my other three characters with my choice of magic (which, when junctioned correctly, really strengthen my charaters).
K...shutting up...=)
YES! That's the guy! That spell screws me EVERY SINGLE TIME! I have yet to beat him, but I dunno what to do next exactly...where to level up, what to level up to, etc. It is an awesome game but...I'm stumped!
Also, if someone could possibly give me a saved game of FF5 right when they're before that tower they hafta climb and hafta fight that portal boss I have a problem with, I'd REALLY appreciate it! I use SNES9x btw, so no zsnes zst states or whatever, only normal ones. Thanks
