The problem with the cardiac arrest portion of your idea is that it ends in an unavoidable death. Now if you had something like a suicide pill that made you super fast and essentially invincible for 20 or 30 seconds but then you die, it might have some functionality. This way when your cornered with no health items and are on the edge of death you can choose to kill yourself for the chance to take down as many people as possible in the next 20 seconds.

I like the idea of adrenaline being a gameplay mechanic though. It would be cool if adrenaline made you a bit faster or see sharper, and your adrenaline only goes up when you are being shot at.

This is my favourite FF game. This game has better character development than any other video game I've ever played. I think that this is also the first ff to introduce Cid. I replayed this game last year on the ps1 collection, I actually borrowed it and beat it around the time it was released on the snes by borrowing it from a friend. The bosses are hard, but they make you think far more than the usually ff strategy of level and press x repeatedly. I remember some of the bosses actually forcing you to use some pretty creative strategies, like the queen of summons for instance.

all in all, great game, good review. I'm thinking of picking this up just for the hell of it.

yeah lag sucks, but at least it was playable for the most part. The items were not kind to you at all. I think i'll have to pass on the multiman brawl for tonight. If you want to play again another time though i'm always down for a good match.

My friend and I who live in the same city have had some perfect matches with no real lag, then some days the game is unplayable due to lag. Just this friday our first match was pretty laggy, but playable, then from our second match forward we had no lag at all. Throughout those matches, however, there was a time or two when the game would slow down to a slide show, then it would pick up again as if it never happened.

@Maxi I'm going to be playing at my friends house at some point today, if you're going to be online later tonight we might be able to play then. Other than that I'm good most nights this week, but I'm leaving to work at a camp this summer so this coming friday I'll be leaving for 4 to 6 weeks. hopefully we can get some matches in before then.

I sat there for a while and tried to start a new brawl but you never joined despite appearing online. Eventually I gave up and went to sleep. Maybe next time.

Don't be stingy with Paula's psi, she can attack multiple units and do much more damage with psi than her regular attack.

I'm trying to get back into this game after neglecting it due to work and having nobody to play. I'm online now, if anyone wants to have a go at it. Just leave a message here or pm me.

On Pokey, if you talk to some of the people in Twoson and happy-happy village then they'll tell you that some fat kid and a guy with a mask nabbed Paula. The guy with the mask in happy-happy village and tells you a bit more about it.

On the level difference once you get Paula, I never had a problem with it. I just leveled her a little close to the cave mouth then once she's gained a few levels, and against the mole you can use PSI shield to help her out.

I waited til the end of my exams til I bought this as I foresaw the amount of distraction it would cause me. I'm only about 7 hours into the game and just beat the ruins level. I like this game a lot. People can cry zelda clone all they want, if this is what a zelda clone is like then I want to see more of them.

The more I've seen of this game the more impressed I've been. This isn't a typical kind of purchase for me but I think I'm going to go for it.

Well, it makes sense - there's a bit of a drought coming up for Wii games. Wait a second, but WiiWare is launching soon, right? I predict Earthbound will be released after the initial hype for WiiWare dies down and there aren't many new releases.

Wrong. Earthbound will be released at the same time as the WiiWare launch, handicapping it's sales. Nintendo will then interpret this as a lack of interest in the series and a failure decisively destroying any plans to bring mother3 over in the future and most likely going on to remove earthbound from the VC, nay, the world.

I haven't had a really laggy match in some time now. In the very least it has allowed me to connect with other players and I don't always have to drive to my friends house. I only ever played melee against one other person with any consistency.

I've been waiting for this since the launch of the VC. I was pretty close to cracking and buying a snes cart on ebay... Thank goodness.
