« on: November 17, 2006, 01:26:07 AM »
there's a store around here somewhere that has advertised in their flier for a certain amount and then cut that way down to just six with a memo posted on the store's door. people were pissed, saying it was false advertising. Which it isn't really because the legal mumbo jumbo in the fine print says that they aren't resonisble for stuff like that.
circuit city i think.

There needs to be some lines seperating stuff on the main page. Other than that it's going to be like anything else, just have to get acclimated to new stuff.

I'll have it either today or tomorrow (tomorrow if DHL is stupid, today if it goes as normal). Amazon.com, where i ordered it from (duh!) last week is sending them out early.
Now all I need is a Wii.

Ahahaha, I just started playing DQVIII a few days ago and I have to STRONGLY disagree...*shudder*
stop playing now, if you don't like the voice work then you just won't appreciate the entire game. ;_;

I think DQ8 has some of the best voice work ever in a game.

I like penguins and moogles.
I have a Kill Bill movie poster I need to hang up. It's been framed, but not hung up yet. It's a Kill Bill (proper) poster, not Volume 1 or 2, which is why I like it more.

maybe after 4 hours no one was willing to buy their crap offering and to save face, made it seem like it was so popular that it sold out quickly.
I was playing FFXII last night when I realized that they were doing that last night, so I checked out of amusement (it was around 10 pm EST) and it was over.
I didn't feel bad or anything, because as I said in an above post that I wasn't going to take part in the crap gamestop.com was peddling.

Nintendo can't technically stop them from translating the game, just the part about rom hacking and all that Nintendo can bitch about. But seeing as they have no plans to translate and make it available to the majority of the world, I think they should just eat it and shut up.

You don't need to have great disc art for a game to be playable. Gripe about something of importance here. Unless you have x-ray vision most people aren't going to be worried about the disc because the game will be in the system, thus impossible to see.

« on: November 08, 2006, 04:38:59 PM »
As much as I want a Wii at launch, I won't be buying that bundle at Gamestop.com, or anywhere.
I do not want or need:
Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Red Steel
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz
Madden NFL 2007
12 Month Product Replacement Plan
Game Informer Gift Subscription
so I will look around elsewhere, or I will just buy the games I want when they come out and then buy a system when it's available bundle-less. Gamestop.com's bundle is total crap, as they just seemed to pick blindly what games to choose. Why the hell can't they give a decent choice. Where the hell is Rayman? Isn't that a launch game?
Have they spent all this time thinkig up that one single bundle when they have like 12 different bundle choices for Xbox 360? This is shameful. Because of Microsoft's inability to get enough systems out soon enough stores are pulling crap like this, even though Nintendo has already stated that there will be a lot of systems available.
And I said it before in another thread, Gamestop was going to screw over people that already pre-ordered Zelda, as not long ago they stopped taking them.

I liked partners in time better. the battle system was more polished, while yes somewhat watered down. the first one had a hard to really get used to control system, I was never able to really use it to all of its advantages, where as with PiT, i could do just that.

It would be the same when playing GB(A) games with the GBP. The select button was like the z button or something. I don't remember exactly.

Although I haven't played FFXII or any FF to any longer than 5 hours since I can't stand them. I have played TOS. The battle system is completely real time and can be completely automated if one wished. But, you wouldn't get far. TOS required constant input for the charater you currently controlled and for the bigger battles, your friends as so to make sure you didn't get your asses kicked.
From what I have gathered so far from this thread is that although FFXII does appear to be real time, it isn't. Underneath the gambit system, the menus, it is still an ATB system or variant like Chrono trigger. I dare say it, "A mid 90's system". I personally never liked it as it lacked the flow of a true real time system. It lacked the complete tactial control of a pure turn based system with crude and then annoyingly unnessercary positioning that rendered most attacks a few degrees off from useless.
Now that I have stepped into the crossfire. Shoot away. Just not the face alright.
You don't have control of attacking like in ToS. FFXII battle system is a much better version of FFXI battle system. You tell to attack or have gambit set to attack, and your character(s) will then attack until enemy is dead. You don't press buttons to make them attack. That said, it's real-time turned base.

I think you can, as long as you sell your loot you collect as you fight from one area to the next, so you can buy better weapons. I've neglected armor and stuff more than anything else, spending on weapons and magic and abilities and only ran into one boss so far that gave me a problem, and then I found out that I could have run away from that boss. You immediately run into a weaker version of that boss in the next room that you are required to beat.

The battle congratuations are there, but they are only after bosses or event battles.
"The problem is that once you get into combat, any movement AT ALL is a damn, dirty, lie. Actually, any time you get into a battle, anything you do AT ALL is a damn dirty lie. Once you get into a battle you should just lie back, cease all bodily functions, and commence atrophying. Then you push the analog pad in the direction of the next blob of monsters when you're done."
Turn off the gambits and control everything yourself.
I have all characters main attack gambit to attack nearest visible foe, even the leader. This doesn't make the game easier because while I have the main healing gabit to heal either at 70 or 60 % health, those don't come into effect if the character is attack, it generally goes into effect when the character is not near an enemy or no looking at an enemy. When using items and gambits they seem to use them right away when needed. As items have a very short time between use and taking into effect, in a battle where time is short (and there are battles with time limits either a clock or otherwise) that can mean the difference between winning and dieing.
My only real gripe with the game is the very lazy camera. I hated the camer in FFXI, and this is just as bad. You have to control it just about all the time because it stays in one place.
And not a major thing, some parts of the game where its dark, it's really dark and hard to see hallway entrances and stuff if you aren't watching the mini map to see where the turn is.
