For longtime fans I'd recommend grabbing the GBA remake. The new translation is better, and there's the added espers and dungeon. Downside is the GBA's weaker sound processor hurting the music.

I thought all the portraits were fugly compared the the sprites.
I also don't like how almost everyone looks in the animated videos of the remake.
Kefka's okay though.


If you want to see Terra, go watch some Dissidia VODs on youtube.

I spent almost an hour last night watching Terra in full-fledged 3D glory jumping around and throwing icebolts and fireballs at Squall, Cloud, etc.

Yea I've been playing on that version when I started last week. I've been surprised by the dialogue so far, a lot of it has been changed (but for the better, mostly)

Yeah, I've always felt the same way. I've actually felt the same way desktop playing versus playing on my TV. I've always done everything possible to be able to play games on my TV instead of an emulator even if it meant buying it.

I don't know if I would want to play it on GBA. The FF6 sound track has so many good songs that would suffer from the GBA.

Well, it's too late. I have already spent a reasonable amount of time on it so I don't want to switch to GBA. I am playing the PS1 version on an emulator, in case anyone is interested to know.

If anybody is interested in the GBA version and for some reason may not be playing it on the original hardware, there's apparently a "music fix" hack to restore the sound.

Terra is broken as fuck in the Japanese version because it has longer recovery times from hits/missed attacks, meaning if you get caught in her meteors you're not getting out.

In the English version she's like every other caster - when your attacks can be blocked by people running towards you, glhf.

Yea, well, I think I definitely need to play dissidia in the future. I am just thinking if I should wait until the new one comes out....

I probably have enough other stuffs to keep me entertained until it comes out; on the other hand it's still an agonizing wait.

It's worth it, but only if you have someone to play with tbh. The single player is pretty bland.

1v1 is great, but it depends on the characters used too. Some are broken (for good or for bad), and there are a lot of things (Sephiroth's combos, etc) that make the game pointless. Also, being a FF game there is a ton of item/skill grinding required, so either you and a friend play with 0 items or you just download a full save file (better, since you have all the characters with max skills).

Part 11:

+ Show Spoiler +

Through Setzer's airship, the group got to the Southern Continent - the land of the Empire. Empire soldiers were everywhere.

[image loading]

[image loading]


At this point, I decided to grind a bit to raise my level, as the section at Opera House felt way too difficult for me. I had a very small selection of things to choose from, however, so at the end I decided to kill a particular kind of monster in the desert - Fossil Fang.

First of all, Fossil Fang introduced a new status - Zombie. This is a bit different from FFX, as I found out. Basically, once a character get the Zombie, s/he loses all HP and cannot be control in battle (kind of like being confused). Also, the character is considered dead, so in case only Zombie'd characters are left, it's a game over. The status also persist over battles. The only way to cure it is to use an item called Revive. Lastly, while Zombie'd, the character is INVULNERABLE in battle (but that's useless because it doesn't count as a character that is alive)....

[image loading]

[image loading]


The point is, I chose the worst grinding spot possible, yet still better than all other choices. It is on the world map so I could save after every battle if I wanted to, so it was not too bad. After raising some levels and giving all characters some extra spells, the group went to Vector - the capital of the Empire.

[image loading]


However, the guards didn't let the group inside of the research facility.

[image loading]


Luckily, a Returner nearby helped the group to stealthily enter the facility.

[image loading]

[image loading]

[image loading]


While inside, there were random encounters (but not too difficult). After journeying briefing (including finding some of the first elemental swords), a strange laugh was heard.

[image loading]


O NOES. It's Kefka! It appeared that he recently extracted magic from two Espers, then threw them away. The group decided to track those Espers down.

[image loading]


The room was basically a dumping ground for dead Espers. In this case, Ifrit and Shiva got their magic extracted and left there to die. After talking to them, however, the group had to fight Ifrit.

Sometimes, I think I have played so much FF that I can spoil myself just by thinking of what will happen next. When I fought Ifrit, I correctly predicted that Ifrit would mostly use an assortment of Fire spells - Fire and Fire 2, in this case. To counter this, I decided to use Runic. This was the first time I used Runic in a serious manner and caused serious effect.

Basically, it screwed me up. Although Celes managed to absorb all of the incoming fire spells, she also disabled the party from using Cure. So I could only heal through using potions (not very enjoyable). Luckily the battle was not too hard, so the handicup through Runic did not cause me too much problem. After a bit of battling, Shiva also joined the battle, then the two Espers decided to leave their Magicites in the hands of Edgar, Locke, and Celes.

[image loading]

[image loading]


The group continued to venture inside the facility. On one occasion there was a miniboss - Number 24.

[image loading]


It was awfully easy and Locke managed to steal something from him. Beyond it lied many glass vessels containing Espers.

[image loading]


But they all decided to turn into Magicites... to help Edgar and others. Then Cid showed up. That's right. CID.

[image loading]


It seemed that Celes met Cid before.

[image loading]


Cid did research at this facility for Espers. Then there were some chatting about Magicite. Unfortunately Kefka heard everything.

[image loading]


Locke was angry at Celes, thinking that she betrayed him.

[image loading]


Kefka called in the troops to arrest everyone.

[image loading]


Celes decided to help them by casting a spell. In the aftermath, Kefka, Imperial troops, and Celes were gone. Everyone else remained on scene.

[image loading]

[image loading]


O fuck. Celes was gone. I spelt a lot of time grinding for her, teaching her tons of useful spells, etc. Then she was gone - just like that - without any warnings. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

On the other hand, I was STUPID. It's pretty much guaranteed that the important female characters will go missing at certain part of the game. It's almost always used as a way to advance the plot. Yes, I am talking about the following things in FF7,8,9,10, 4, FFTA2 (I am sure this list is not complete):

+ Show Spoiler +

FF8:
+ Show Spoiler +
In 8, Rinoa was abducted by the Sorceress and Squall had to go save her. His persistence to try to save Rinoa showed his feelings for her.

FF9:
+ Show Spoiler +
In 9, Garnet was in and out on many occasions. For a while she couldn't talk - a huge liability for a fairly difficult section of the game until she finally decided what she wanted to do

FFX:
+ Show Spoiler +
In X, Yuna was missing because she wanted (being emo) to marry Seymour, which made Tidus very jealous so he decided to crush the wedding.

FFTA2
+ Show Spoiler +
In FFTA2, Adelle got abducted and forced to become a heritor. Luso had to fight her to advance the story - it confirmed Luso's feelings (or lack thereof ) for Adelle and Adelle's special abilities (which sucked except the movement speed)

FF4
+ Show Spoiler +
In FF4, Rosa got abducted by Golbez and Cecil had to save her. Rydia went missing for a very long time and when she came back she was pretty much a different character.

FF7:
+ Show Spoiler +
Probably the most extreme example. Enough said there.


FF3/X-2:
+ Show Spoiler +
In some other games, such as FF3 and FFX-2, the party is fixed and any character can take any job due to the system. In those games no one can go missing.



After everyone recovered, Cid decided to go against the tyranny of the Empire.

[image loading]

[image loading]


So everyone decided to escape. This was fairly simple, although a boss was waiting near the end.

[image loading]


After the fight, Setzer showed up and told Edgar and Locke to go on the airship. In the meanwhile, Kefka reappeared - but no signs of Celes. O FUCK WHERE COULD SHE BE??!!

[image loading]


The party was being chased by the Empire. There were no other choices except leaving the Southern Continent... for now.

You were still only on 3 group members? And now 2? lol

Also, I think you rushed it a bit on the Southern Continent. I always go around to the various villages and towns, leveling up and at the same time buying new, better equipment.

Yes. The game seemed to be hinting that I might play the other group.

Kind of like what happened in FF9


I was really worried so I left a lot of people out
