i dunno if its just everyone i know, but anyone else have the situation where u are the only person u can think of that plays ff9? most people i know, a conversation of ff goes like this...

Me
"hey man u like ff games?"
Them
"yea i loved ff7"
Me
" any others?"
Them
"yea number 10 was awsome too, and number 8 wasnt that bad"
Me
"what about ff9?"
Them
"what? what r u talkin about?"
Me
"fiinaaaaaal fantaseeeeee niiiiiine?"
Them
"NEVER heard of it"

[karlabaines]

I usually talk to my m8 about 10-2 and he wants 10-3 becouse of rikku, hes gotta thing for her. I youst to have a freind that would never shut up about final fantasy.

[Chris]

I don't understand this, FFIX is by far and away one of the best FF games there is.

[UWAOOOOU]

I dont think its as big or was as advertised as FFVII, VIII or X but its still just as good.

Man, I always loved that forum description. Never knew it came from Penny Arcade, though.

lol thats great, and alllllmost exactly my point

[boys from the dwarf]

i cant believe most FF fans dont have 9 thats just stupid.

[G SpOtZ]

i actually did not like ffX very much. i hated how there was no world map to travel around in anymore haha. and u couldn't really explore cities in depth. like BEVELLE. if it's so big, i woulda wanna go look around in it but no0o0o, lol. and 9 i thought was okay, but my favorites for 7 and 8. oh and X-2 just utterly sucked. a lot.

[ThroneofDravaris]

If I could burn, strangle, mutilate and stuff every person who has had the opportunity to play FF9 and DIDN’T take it, I would.

[Primus Inter Pares]

If I could burn, strangle, mutilate and stuff every person who has had the opportunity to play FF9 and DIDN’T take it, I would.
And I would help...

[Dreddz]

FFIX is definatly the less known out of them all
Im not sure why, Maybe because it was released late on PSX and wasnt noticed ?

[tan]

I think that Final Fantasy IX is the least known because it came out near the time when the PS2 did, so it was overshadowed. It might also be the least known because it's the least overrated. It was normal. FF7 is known because its a good game. FF8 is known because its people always complain about its Junction system. But FF9 is just plain. But it still is fun and the best FF IMO.

[assemblage]

people you talk to have never heard of it? jeez, i can't seem to get away from it!! i mean, i love it, it's great, but these....PEOPLE around me are like "lYkE oMgEeEeE!!!!1!1 i LyKe HATED fInAl FaNtAsY 9!!!!1! iT wAs LyKe SoOoOoOo BoRiNg AnD sTuFf!!!1!" honestly, i wanna slap them. you can actually HEAR where the capitals are in the words when they talk. it's horrible. and cmon, really, how can you NOT like FF9? it had a cute black mage that kept tripping!! :love: cmon, time for a group "awwww"

[Karl]

cmon, really, how can you NOT like FF9? it had a cute black mage that kept tripping!! :love: cmon, time for a group "awwww"

lol u got that right, anyway i think ff9 is the best of the series so far, i think 8 got its popularity just cuz everyone was still thinkin that 7 was sooo great so they think the next one will be great too, anyway i think ff9 had the most nsidequests and free roaming ability of any ff game by far, and i think they screwed up the series with ff10 and 10-2

also ff11 kinda pissed me off cuz ff just should NOT be an online game in the way that ff11 was

[assemblage]

also ff11 kinda pissed me off cuz ff just should NOT be an online game in the way that ff11 was
completely agreed. to me, it was like .Hack//Sign Infection, (?? something like that) what with The World, and being online and stuff...it sadly didn't catch my interest all that much.

12's gonna be awesome though, woo 12!

[Karl]

im not so sure, i havent heard much of anything about 12 and its been progressivly worse after 9, hopefully square enix gets out of this rut and comes back with an amazing game with extensive sidequests and freeroaming ability that ff9 had, because 10 was too restricted and 10-2 was sooooooo crappy, altho the jobs were nice but the way they did it with the dress sphere's was corny

anyway im eager to see what they make of ff12

[rcabronx]

IMHO, 9 is probably the best one evah.... i mean, i really cared about the characters, and what happened to them.... to see their growth as they put-putted along Gaia, doing awesome hero stuff.... I honestly could give a good rats @$$ about Selphie's feelings, or about Kimahri's horn.... Seriously, the characters in 9 were really well done, i think....

and assemblage: :love: AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! :love: cuz i just LOVE Vivi. I want to fold him up and put him in my pocket, he's so damn cute... I BAWLED when $hit happened to him.... Not to mention, Brahne is one bad @$$'d villain.... she rocks.

[assemblage]

Not to mention, Brahne is one bad @$$'d villain.... she rocks.
no kidding. it was cool how when she was dying (shut up, it's not as bad as it sounds) the evil in her mind left and she was once again Garnet's 'mother'.

hey rca, i'll make you a plushie of Vivi! a foldable one!! :bigbiggri

[rcabronx]

YAY! :love: :love: :love: :love: VIVI IN MAH POCKET, VIV IN MAH POCKET!

just the fact that brahne could make that kind of 360 as she was dying was enough to make me love her....

[assemblage]

get ready for a FedEx delivery sometime soon, rca, VIVI'S COMING FOR YOU!!!

haha :tongue: even though i know it's not how she really was, i couldn't truly like Brahne cuz she tried to kill Garnet, what with the extracting eidolons and stuff. her dance at the FMV of Tantalus' 'I Want To Be Your Canary' provided hours of amusement though.

[rcabronx]

OH MAH GAH! Seriously tho, that fat dance she does.... smurfin hilarious.... i dunno... i just like that she has a conscience at the end you know, and she apologizes... gives her depth along with her girth. :rolleyes2

[assemblage]

yeah, definately. and she must've been really nice before Kuja came along, because the townspeople still love her even when she's mean. and her grave looks really nice. i want a grave like that.... :(

[Karl]

everyone talks about how much they love vivi and i cant help but agree, i dont really count any ff games b4 6 cuz i havent played them *feels disrespectful* but i think vivi is the only black mage character in any ff game (not counting people whose job u can choose) and i think its about time they did something more interperative about black mages because they are the only ones that are usually not human and therefor the most interesting in my opinion

[assemblage]

that's true, Karl....they should have a designated BM in 12. that'd be awesomeness to the power of sweet times cool. as long as he/she's as cute as Vivi, anyway. i love Vivi because he feels he has to go on with Zidane and the group, although he doesn't have to, and he gets out of trouble stronger than ever. it's cuuuuuuuute :love:

[rcabronx]

everyone talks about how much they love vivi and i cant help but agree, i dont really count any ff games b4 6 cuz i havent played them *feels disrespectful* but i think vivi is the only black mage character in any ff game (not counting people whose job u can choose) and i think its about time they did something more interperative about black mages because they are the only ones that are usually not human and therefor the most interesting in my opinion

agreed. I haven't played anything b4 7, and i still think vivi was just one of those character that made you want to know more about them all... Kimahri did not do that for me with the Ronso's....

[Karl]

this is off the current topic of the replies but even tho i disliked ff10 i couldnt help but like the storyline of sin and the religeon behind it (religeon intrests me no matter which religeon it is or whether its fictional or not)

[assemblage]

i have 1, 2, and 4, but.....::shruggs:: i never got into them, heh heh oops. the black mages in 9 are so innocent though, what with "one day he just stopped, didn't move or say anything" when they refer to death and how they had the courage to escape Kuja's plan. they're one of the more compelling types in the FFs.

also, the storyline was pretty cool, gotta admit. it's like olden times, with summons and creatures, thrown into the future. SE always seems to do that, it's cool

[rcabronx]

*sniffle*..... black mages rock..... :whimper: innocent is very true.... very endearing.... I did like 10 a lot, but more for the story and the graphics and stuff, not for the actual characters, tho... i did feel sorry for Yuna, tho.... then X-2 happened.... then I felt even MORE sorry for her...my contention is that she was using her new attitude to hide the fact that she was dead inside without Tidus....heartbreaking. :cry:

[assemblage]

it was rather sad, yeah.....i like how Yuna kept going after Tidus even after she learned the guy in the sphere was Shuyin. after all, she had been told that Tidus was just a dream of the fayth, and how can you chase after someone that was a dream? she's got dedication, man, dedication.

[Karl]

i just couldnt stand the blitzball (kinda fun sidequest but annoying in the beginning of the game when u know nothing about it) and i didnt think that tidus or wakka were good character ideas, or maybe they were but no 1 else was anything like them so they didnt really fit in

[rcabronx]

truer words were never spoken...now THAT's love... :love:

and I LOVED BLITZBALL! could play for hours....

[Karl]

im suprised they havent made any game for ff sidequest kinda things to play online, it prolly would just crash and burn but blitzball just seemed like it would be better suited online

[rcabronx]

YEAH! woth like multi player action, and team options and more enhanced moves and stuff.... i would LOVE that! hmmm.... i'm thinking of another boredom thread: fave minigame.... meh, it's prolly been dun

[Karl]

ooooo, make it and i'll reply till my fingers bleed :D

[rcabronx]

hmm.....maybe i should! yeah i'm gonna.... hmmm.... where tho, cuz i want all of them included.... General Chat?

[Karl]

isnt there a general final fantasy? if there is leeza (always the one that moved my posts) will prolly move it there

[assemblage]

ach! you didn't do it! not that i could find, anyway....you shoooould. although i must admit, if my game wasn't so messed up, i would probably be obsessed with blitz. i followed the instructions in the tutorial (sp??) and still, when my stats are way higher than the other guy's, he still manages to break through. i'm rather pissed that i can't make the Aurochs win the tourney in FF10 :weep:

[rcabronx]

oh man! i wish i had my last save so i could tell you who i had.... i rocked that game with the team i had..... i know for sure i had tidus, rin and brother.... and this guy from luca for a goalie, and an al bhed chick from the airship, and a guado dude from guadosalam..... i cannot remember their names tho.... hmmm.... ok, i'll be on here, but ima go look at my strategy guide, see if i can find their names....

dont go anywhere folks, the show will be back on in 2! :rolleyes2

[assemblage]

yeah too bad i'm out to kick Ozma's ass. or attempt to. again. O_o i check back tomorrow, woo hoo!

[rcabronx]

Ok, for future reference then:

PLAYER - WHAT TEAM - WHERE TO FIND - WHAT POSITION IS BEST - WHY THEM?

RIN - FREE AGENT - AIRSHIP CORRIDOR - CENTER - GOOD SPEED AND PASSING
TIDUS - BESAID AUROCHS - N/A - INSIDE RIGHT WING - JECHT SHOTS
GIERA GUADO - GUADO GLORIES (GUADOSALAM) - INSIDE LEFT WING - SUPER SPEED
BROTHER - FREE AGENT - AIRSHIP BRIDGE - OUTSIDE LEFT WING - BIGGER PASSER/HIGH HP+STRENGTH
LAKKAM - AL BHED PSYCHES (AIRSHIP STEPS) - OUTSIDE RIGHT WING - REALLY GOOD PASSING/SPEED

Hope this helps!

[Lushs]

It makes me mad that no one really knows ff9... since i LOVE IT! :)

I've been convincing my friends to play! haha

[assemblage]

woo, thank you rca, you rock my socks!! but seriously, my game is so messed, i hate it. and i think i bought it new...maybe SquareEnix is trying to get back at me for sending emails asking a buncha "why??" questions about various FFs. yes, that must be it. they were like "oh, she's gonna buy this exact one, so let's mess up the blitzball game on this one just to piss her off and have her rant about it on the EoFF forum boards!!"

evil little bastards.

and actually, lushs, i'm in love with FF9 too. you are not alone, woo!

hahahaha. i never have, but its pretty obvious if theres a ffX, there must be a ffIX. im laughing out loud. bah. who exactly is "them"?

[rcabronx]

part nine never got the recognition it truly deserved.... i will admit tho, when i first got 9, i was kinda like, wtf is this...? it's nuthin like 8, and i love 8.... it looks all old fashioned... then 2 things happened: i saw vivi, and i heard the adorable battle music...so i gave it a chance... and i have to say it's proll my fave one out of all.... ps2 came out shortly after, so it got swallowed by that, i think.... :mad:

[Karl]

them is whoever i would be talkin to about ff games

[assemblage]

you know, for some reason, every thread i touch seems to get off topic....

.........*broad grin* that thread was probably my fault, i've been putting topics off...topic....since i registered, heh :laughing: but you gotta admit, it's pretty fun

[rcabronx]

i actually had to go to page one to figure out what the thread was initially about.... so very sad, yet very kookie all at once... :D

[rcabronx]

girl, if i knew the recipes for cheetos, i'd be...well... i'd be really busy making them for myself like ALL THE TIME! but the major question here is: crunchy or puffy? :confused: i heart puffy myself....

[assemblage]

[Karl]

WIGGER WARNING!!!

[rcabronx]

chocolate, marshmallow, whipped cream, steak, turkey, flamin hot cheetos.

hmmmmmmmmm.................................. quite a dilemma..... well, what're your levels? do you have all the stuff i mentioned? is he still totally sucking?

[Karl]

i just saw gameplay for ff12 and i am sorely dissapointed... and ANGRY :grumble: :nonono: :irked: :frust:

[rcabronx]

oh no, why? it's not like, stupid is it? like there are cool random battles and stuff, right? RIGHT?!?!?! OH GAWD!!!!!!!! *weeps silently*

[assemblage]

frick, what's wrong with it?????? i'm basing the next 3 years of my life on it, and that means my life will be disappointing too! CRAP!!

[Karl]

its like, uhhh, i dunno its like chrono chross or trigger or w.e where there are monsters all around and if u stay away from em u dont have to fight em, kinda really is annoying how far from the original format the ff games are getting

[rcabronx]

*continues to weeps silently* :whimper: :whimper: :whimper: :whimper: :whimper:

oh wait...so it's kinda like xenosaga that way.... i'm not THAT opposed to that.... *slowly regains composure*

[Karl]

http://www.gamesarefun.com/gamesdb/media.php?id=552

dunno if that works as a link but thats the thing from the ff12 forum on eoff, *watches again as expectations are crushed*

[assemblage]

oh *sigh of relief* i thought you meant the storyline sucked. i'm used to those games and was obsessed for....years....as you probably know. do the monsters at least chase you? and is the world map to scale? cuz in FF8, Squall's taller than Balamb itself, and it's starting to get on my nerves >. <

[Karl]

dunno, but people are startin to say that dirge of cerberus is gonna be a first person shooter... which would ruin everything...ever...always.....

[rcabronx]

i have resigned myself to NEVER play any of the part 7 sequals. 7 WAS FINE ON ITS DAMN OWN, DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............

i do want to see advent children tho.... :love:

[Karl]

lol, i kinda think dirge might be good tho cuz its about the characters that arent important in the storyline

[assemblage]

:confused: who wasn't important? you mean the main characters or the NPCs? ugh, so confuzzled....i, too, am determined to buy AC the day it comes out (SEPTEMBER 14!!) :tongue:

[Karl]

dirge is based around vincent, and he has no purpose in ff7 cuz u dont even have to get him, he's like a bonus

[assemblage]

oh! *brightens up* well then i'm definitely getting Derge, man, Vincent is cool. i like his cape. and his coolness. :love:

[rcabronx]

i luvs vinnie, but still.... and SEPTEMBER 14th??????? are you in North America???? cuz if it's coming on on that date in this country, you best believe momma's gon get it fuh herself!!!!!!!!! :love: :greenie: :greenie:

[assemblage]

lol! yeah, i'm in NA. what do you mean, does it come out later where you are?

[Karl]

lol cape, that reminds me, i watched akira with my friend a few weeks ago *seen like 8 times b4 he saw it* and the thing came up about tetsuo's cape, and then we thought of an rpg where as u lvl up ur cape gets bigger (were feelin stoned after playin katamari damasi)

[rcabronx]

i just dint know when it was gon come out.... ! yay!!!!!!!!!!!! :love: my day's made....

[Karl]

its so weird, ac comes out 1 day later in japan... wtf is with that? :Oo:

[assemblage]

we should totally make a game like that, seriously, i'd go insane playing it :tongue: freakin awesome

[Karl]

just wonderin if u know what akira and katamari damasi are :love:
most people i talk to dont (how can u not :mad: )

[assemblage]

does it really? maybe it has something to do with the fact that we're like, 8 hours apart, speaking in that crazy time zone language....i really don't know, i saw it somewhere and...man, it made me so happy. ^^

[rcabronx]

i'd want my cape to be level 99, and be like a huge blanket behind me... that would rock.

and um....no, i dont.... never actually heard of it... DONT HIT ME! :(

[assemblage]

Akira, yes. Kata-whatawhat, no. but that's what google is for :tongue:

rca, it'd be dragging like a mile behind you haha

[Karl]

lol, akira is (the greatest ever) an anime movie and katamari damasi is a freaky weird game where ur dad is the ruler of the cosmos and when he talks its a scratchin (turntable rap kinda thing) sound and u take this ball (the katamari) and everything it touches sticks to it and u make it as big as u can in the time limit and ur dad takes it and launches it into space and explodes it to make a new star cuz he got drunk and destroyed all the stars and u can pik up anything and i mean anything as long as ur big enuf...

so...yea

[rcabronx]

holy crap! that sounds wild.... :eek:

[Karl]

sure is, best when u pik up people and animels and stuff :love:

[assemblage]

heh. heh heh. i gotta get me that game, that's freakin cool. what system is it for?

[Karl]

ps2, its 20 bucks, but soon their commin out with the sequel called we love katamari which.. i dunno sequels usually suk

[rcabronx]

i want it too! :love: :love: :love:

[assemblage]

hmm, i'll need to keep an eye out for those. it's kinda sad, i discovered the other day that the first disc of my FF7 game was cracked and my PS didn't recognize it. i asked for another FF7 game for my birthday and my parents think i'm kidding :whimper:

[Karl]

i want ff10 to not suk :love: i just bought it again for 10 bucks (and it was still sealed) and i just cant get into the story at all, i eep thinkin about ff9...then i go play ff9 :love:

[assemblage]

nothing wrong with that, FF9 just can't help being a kick ass game. for people like you, they should put random sprites of Yuna, Tidus, Lulu, and everyone on FF10, INTO the FF9 game. eh? eh?? then you could be into both, kinda. but only kinda.

[rcabronx]

ugh that is so sad about your disk for 7!

and ten is not so bad.... not once you get into it a bit.... not as good as 9, but it's pretty to look at... tidus is really whiney and annoying sometimes, but...... i got passed it.... then i kinda loved the game....nine is still the best tho

[Karl]

hmmm, i think they just need more games like ff9 :love:

[rcabronx]

OK TIME OUT!

I have a question:

have either of you seen that monstrosity of a riddle thingfish has got going?

[assemblage]

A SEQUEL!!

haha no, i kid.

[assemblage]

is that the FF8 one?

[Karl]

ugh that is so sad about your disk for 7!

and ten is not so bad.... not once you get into it a bit.... not as good as 9, but it's pretty to look at

yea i started playin 10 and i thought to myself, "man, this game is really cinematic" and then i got bored...

anywho the cracked disk does suk :cry: but a used ff7 costs like 18 bucks at funcoland or w/e its called now

[rcabronx]

no the nine one.... it is an abomination! and i cant stop thinking about it! :mad2:

Karl knows, right? the thingfish riddle?

[assemblage]

true...my parents still think i'm kidding and they're like "naaaah, what do you really want for your birthday?"

FINAL FANTASY 7, DAMMIT!!

[assemblage]

where is the riddle located? linkie please? or just post the riddle up here, whatever works for ya

[Karl]

yea, i know the riddle, and its drivin me nuts but im way to lazy and stupid to figure it out, i mean if he woulda said it was ok when i asked him if i could randomly guess, i would try, but now i just wanna know what the answer is

[rcabronx]

hey i have a suggy: how about we only post in one thread? my comps going bonks. :eek:

[Karl]

That was indeed easy, so to compensate, here's a VERY difficult one that I made a while back : )))


Paragon of a mute usurper, I.
To Occident and Orient adjunct.
Mine avocation, dearth to pacify,
By rubicund umbrage nigh-on defunct.

O, keen watchman to mine own, falter not,
To vouchsafe designs most astronomic.
Misplaced pursuit doth leave much truth forgot,
Affinity only one may mimic.

In anterior regard, quite absent,
Yet present, attending interregnum.
Contrary to self, mine heir apparent,
Abide, thou dost, foremost, and in tandem.

Confused, the vulgar see vengeful death's course,
Heaven's flute scourged, even focus slaughtered.
Yet displace determiner from this source,
A riotous assembly remembered.

Twixt conscience caught and more relative grounds,
All tears and woe be in our presence past.
At helm of craft, portentous death knell sounds.
Recurrent pause, wilt thou begun at last?

Is't a 'What'? Tis that thou thinkest of me?
Is't a 'Who'? Thrice shalt thou deceived be...

there ya go good luk with it, its taken 20 pages of interpritation and no 1 is much closer :bigbiggri

[Karl]

but which will it be :eek:

[assemblage]

daaaamn those are big complicated words O.o to respect rca, go ahead and choose what thread to post in tonight so your compy doesn't go ballistic on ya

[rcabronx]

we can switch off each night :tongue: yknow, to keep em even

[rcabronx]

actually nevah mind... i figured out why my comp was wonky. the link i was downloading.... i had to stop it... i should be good to go now... double thread posting!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH! :rolleyes2

[assemblage]

YEAH! ROCK ON!

[Karl]

kewl :love: anyway time for the coverup

SO I SAID TO THIS GUY, WHAT U NEVER PLAYED FINAL FANTASY 9???

o yea, slick :joey:

[rcabronx]

A SEQUEL!!

haha no, i kid.

speaking of which, what would a sequel to nine be about? it'd be kinda cool... you know what else would rock, if they remade it the EXACT same way, but for ps2 or ps3.... so the game would rock, but so would the graphics *wipe a little drool from chin* yeah that would be amazing..... anyway, reason i asked about you guys knowing the riddle was to see if we could help each other on it, but that thing's got me fried.... dare i start to play nine again from the beginning, when i JUST finished it????? :confused:

[rcabronx]

um yeah..........ZIDANE........... yeah. EIKO EIKO EIKO! .....................nine.

ok, so yeah.... on with the show.... :cool:

[Karl]

lol, omg i played ff9 4 times from start to finiash in the past week and these forums keep me hooked :love:

anyway i started a thread called sequels and movies but w/e, i said a sequel to ff9 would prolly b about vivi or quina :grinpink:

[assemblage]

first, i'd like to congratulate Karl on his kick ass coverup. great stuff, man, great stuff :tongue:

also, rca...*sighs and takes on high school teacher voice* only if you want to. nobody's pressuring you to play it again, okay?

bahaha.

[Karl]

lol, good times talkin about drugs in skewl, i had a teacher that was like totally a hippy b4 and that was somethin to remember

[rcabronx]

:whimper: yes miss chicky.

:love: :p

maybe i should....... i think i'm gonna.... old boy can wait another two months....

[rcabronx]

school.... :whimper: .........homework :(

*having a slight, temporary adult moment*

relish these times, guys....

*smacks own face*

ok adult moment over.... :love:

[assemblage]

o.o are you talking about your husband, rca??! with that "old boy can wait" comment? sad! but funny. ^^

and, uh...sorry to contradict, but homework sucks ass. major boo-tay.

[Karl]

old boy? is that referring to thingfish? or his riddle? or us? or ff people? *is confused*

[rcabronx]

sorry guys!

oldboy = Trema

y'alls are WAAAAAAY off! hahaha!

[rcabronx]

and, uh...sorry to contradict, but homework sucks ass. major boo-tay.

yeah but accounting and order entry and dealing with stupid @$$ stuck up rich dix day in and day out for 8 hours a day for crap money, then having to take said stupidity home with me..... that sucks ass too, b-leev me. :mad: :mad: :mad:

sorry, angry moment over.... hating on my boss huge today.... total PUTA! grr... HATE HATE HATE!!!!!!! :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:

[assemblage]

ohhh haha well cmon, you were referring to something we were talking about an hour ago. ah well ^^;;

speaking of which, it's hard to see which letters are italics in thingfish's riddle. i'm pissed at it :mad2:

[Karl]

*doesn't know who or what trema is* :confused:

[assemblage]

i can help with that.

RCA'S BOSS SUCKS!!

there. :tongue:

[assemblage]

Trema's the guy on the last cloister of Via Infinito in Bevelle in FFX2

[Karl]

o, ok :love:

[rcabronx]

thank you. feel much better!

trema is the old dude you fight at the bottom of Via Infinito in Bevelle in FFX-2.... he's very hard (maybe harder than Ozma, certainly harder than Omega from 8) and i've never beaten him.... hate him.... want him deadsky.....

ooops.... assemblage beat me to it..!

[Karl]

Bold text: If only I had a place to call home.
Italic text: Are nesgsglh.

The bold text seems to have some significance, but I don't understand the purpose of the italic text. Hmmm... What exactly is the riddle asking for?

The italics are actually : nesgsglheray

Indeed, it is initially even difficult to see what it's asking for, hence :

"Is't a 'What'? Tis that thou thinkest of me?
Is't a 'Who'? Thrice shalt thou deceived be..."

next reply said italics were a word scramble of gyashl greens, he said they dont have anything to do with the answer but have some hidden significance to the riddle

[assemblage]

woot woot for speed :tongue:

and thank you for that, Karl, i needed it. kinda disappointed i wasn't the only one who realized the italics and bolds had some significance...oops ^^;;

[rcabronx]

OK! that's it... i GOTTA play 9 again.... it's the only way..... riddle's driving me mental.... imagine, almost 20 pages of guesses and speculation, and NOTHING yet..... sheesh.....

[Karl]

i started 9 and was always lookin for clues to that riddle but then i was like, man this is givin me a headache, im just gonna get excaliber 2 for once, and i did :love:
and it isnt worth it :love:

[assemblage]

oh, but you must feel some kind of inner completion for getting the E2

[rcabronx]

WOW! you got it?!?!? and it....wasn't worth...it. hmmm.... nothing new or exciting to learn for steiner? does it raise his stats huge or anything??? :confused:

[Karl]

yea, i always wanted it, but its kinda corny, and beatin it in 12 hours was so much easier than everyone says, everyone is all like "u gotta skip the fmv sequences and run from battles and not get treasure chests and never shop and never save and blah blah blah...

i just didnt bother with sidequests for once and it was easy (usually i take about 9 hours for disk one)

[Karl]

its 108 attack, and no new attacks or anything, kinda lame but nice to have for once

[assemblage]

*eye twitch* 9 hours? i'd get pissed and hurry through the rest of the game, probably

[rcabronx]

huh. well.....

actually, ive heard that you get extra scenes in the end if you have Save the Queen, Ex2, and Cinna's hammer.... did you notice anything different?

[Karl]

accually its only if u have the hammer, it gets u a scene with cinna, i beat it with save the queen finally and i was like wtf cuz on all the websites i ever see its always sayin save the queen Or the hammer

[assemblage]

so STQ doesn't give any extra scenes?

[rcabronx]

WELL G-DAMN! i always use the damn hammer to get that damn save the queen! grr.... not this time.

how long did it take you guys to fully beat the game with all sidequests done and everything? i think my final time was over 40 hours..... i like leveling everyone up tho....

[Karl]

nope, and u cant do anything with it but throw it, steiner cant equip it :mad2:

[rcabronx]

*GASP* i think we're sorta back on topic! :p

[Karl]

WELL G-DAMN! i always use the damn hammer to get that damn save the queen! grr.... not this time.

how long did it take you guys to fully beat the game with all sidequests done and everything? i think my final time was over 40 hours..... i like leveling everyone up tho....

stq doesnt use hammer :tongue: , everyone says it does tho, i used my first hammer on tin armor on my first playthu, and i only got everything one time and it was the first time i played and i didnt use a guide or hints or anything *feels a sense of accomplishment* and i got 90 somethin hours

[Karl]

but i still never saw the scene with cinna

[rcabronx]

you're right! yeah, cuz i always get the tin armor too cuz it's so good....

that is pretty awesome, Karl... the walkthru from bradygames SUCKED for nine, so i got a strategy off the net sumwhere..... so yeah, i used the walkthru... i think the only game i have NEVER used a walkthru for was Resident Evil 3....

[Karl]

anyone else notice how at the top of the page they cut off half or aeris's face to fit in her bewbs?

[rcabronx]

*giggles* sick.

[G SpOtZ]

but boobs are nothing if you can't even see clevage. and even if you can it's still not as good as any porn site you can go to. or if you got a girl that wants ta..... yeah i'll jus stop it right there and let u take it on urselves...

[Karl]

meh, i think chicks can be plenty hot with clothes on, i mean bewbs like never look as nice without somethin supportin em :love:

[G SpOtZ]

they can, you just gotta find the right girls...

[Karl]

rca and "chicky" will get back to this thread and be like wtf?

[rcabronx]

um..... boobs???? :confused:

:lol:

[Karl]

lol yea

[rcabronx]

:D when the girls are away the boys will play, huh?

:lol: boobs....

[Karl]

lol, is it true that when a girl gets hit in the bewb its like a guy gettin hit in the "man berries" :love:

[rcabronx]

hmmm.... well, from exp, it does hurt, but i cannot imagine it hurts as much a smushed boy bits....

[Karl]

lol, boy bits, anyway it prolly doesnt cuz omg the slightest of a sak tap and its terrible for like 20 minutes, i couldnt imagine like gettin kicked there, i mean dam, just, ahhhh >_<

[rcabronx]

i, uh, "accidentally" tweaked my hubby's bits once.... yeah, he like doubled over in agony, and then FUH-REAKED on me HUGE. I mean, words like "hate", "divorce", and "kill" were uttered that day.... :lol:

[Karl]

i could imagine why *considers wearing a cup daily*

[rcabronx]

once, i got hit in my *ahem* bits with a dodgeball...hurt like a son of a smurf! :(

[Karl]

bits, what a word :love:
anyway thats what happened to me the first time i got hit in my "bits" that i remember. i was in like 5th grade and i went down...fast, for a loooooong time

[rcabronx]

:lol:

oh sorry.... :(

it's just weird you know, that boys are supposed to be so stoic, and then one tiny tap on the bits, and you're down, crying like i dont know what.... it's kinda amusing.... :rolleyes2

[Karl]

yea, never a very proud moment, *bad memories*

SO YEA QUINA, WHATS WITH THAT THING

[rcabronx]

"giggle* too funny....

where the deuce is chicky? she's usually on by this time....

i remember once watching hubby in a wrestling match (he used to be a pro wrestler :rolleyes2 ) and he got hit hard there by accident, and he dropped like a sack of potatoes.... funny funny stuff...not one of his prouder moments either... it was being taped... we have it for posterity and giggles... :D

[Karl]

pro wrasler eh? crazy stuff, anyway some 1 gotta use comp quik i'll b back in a few min

[rcabronx]

coo'

[Karl]

anyway, maybe we should stop talkin bou dingleberries
maybe :shifty:

[G SpOtZ]

you're both insane. insanely hilarious.

[assemblage]

NOOO, KARL, WRONG!! keep talking about it, i'm sitting here catching up on your guys' rantings and laughing my ass off! man, that's friggin great, you guys rock :love:

so yeah, if you wanna hear my lame but true excuses for the past few nights, check out OMFG!!!!

and as for you, spotz....no comment for you, haha this is the second thread where the conversation has gotten sexual. i still laugh about the fact that i took the 'girl on girl' action to another level and made it sick. i take pride in that :tongue:

so go on, read our other sUpEr HoTt ThReAd, LyKe OmGeEeE!!!11!!1!

[Aidan]

karl, is is horrific to be kicked in the boy bits. i dont mean light kick. i mean strong kick.

[G SpOtZ]

if i can remember right... it was in like 3rd or 4th grade... gym class. soccer outside... a girl was about to kick the ball and i was running to block it, but she kicked the ball RIGHT at my nuts. as hard as she could. i think i blacked out for a minute and then i started crawling on the ground because all i could feel was pain throughout my whole body. i was trying to drag myself across the field but my gym coach didn't know what happened and he was like "HEY! GRADY! (thas my name) COME ON RUN TO THE END OF THE FIELD, GET IN THE GAME!" i coulda punch him the face right there if my precious funballs weren't smashed to pieces...

[Karl]

exactly, i couldnt imagine..
well u gotta know somethin about pro (accually fake but w/e) wwe stuff, goldust does the shattered dreams where he puts some 1 in the turnbuckle and puts there legs on the ropes so there spread out and runs accros the ring and PUNTS u in the tidbits...
couldnt imaginhow bad that would be

NUTERED

[rcabronx]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my god you guys!.... this is just what i needed to come home to...my day was HELL!!!!!!!!!

:love: :love: :love:

[assemblage]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sorry, but i think that's the kind of vengeful pain guys feel that's comparable to a girl giving birth. i knew there was an equality somewhere around there. if i was just a touch more evil, i could use that to my advantage :radred: but i won't. cuz that's kinda mean.

[G SpOtZ]

nut pains the worst pain. that's what i say.

[assemblage]

heeey rca! check out OMFG, okay?? you too, Karl, if you haven't yet

[Karl]

guess it kinda is an even exchange to givin birth, and the "monthly flow" u deal with, we get the anger directed at us from it, the balance works :love:

[assemblage]

haha when our aunt flo comes to visit? it's not that bad, really. unless you get cramps. i did last time, GOD. horrible x 12356738746893223476. it sucks.

[G SpOtZ]

it's ALMOST an even exchange.

the good thing about giving birth is that you actually give life to a new being in the world, so you can do some good to the world...
but it hurts a lot i'm sure.

the bad thing about getting hit in the nuts is that it would DESTROY sperm so you can't reproduce. say goodbye to ur next few generations of your family.
and it hurts a lot too.

[rcabronx]

wow.... we went from painful boy bits to AUNT FLO! holy hell... we rock.

yeah, i get BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD cramps..... and i hate EVERYONE, male female feline, i hate all when i'm on.....

ok ew. no more of that.... :love:

[Karl]

this has everything to do with ff9...
yup when quina got kicked in the nuts durin flow season *ew* :love:

[G SpOtZ]

LOLLLL poor quina.

[assemblage]

uh.....

so, how about that game, huh? FFIX? ever heard of it?

woot.

[G SpOtZ]

nope never heard of it. how bout ffXXXIIIIIXIXIXIXIX? great game. seems like they ran out of ideas tho.

[rcabronx]

OH MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! YES.... She/he would be in some MAJOR f-ed up pain, being that no one knows what the hell she/he is.... man.... what problems she/he must have.... :cry:

[Karl]

we got to a last page cituation :Oo:

[G SpOtZ]

i named quinna "chef" once.

[assemblage]

haha nice, rca. but i've been thinking along the lines of what spotz mentioned....how far are the FF series gonna go? is there gonna be, like, a FFXXIII soon? O.o

Karl, what...?

[G SpOtZ]

i think they'll die before they get that far. ffxii is taking a long enough time, and the characters look like pansies. especially van, i think that's his name. he sure doesn't look like a van. he looks like an anorexic girl...

[rcabronx]

oh i see what you're saying Karl.... it's not pages anymore, it's just LAST PAGE.... we rock! we rock, AND we roll. :rolleyes2

[assemblage]

ahaha maybe he is....i looked at the previews and that movie link thing, and...uh...well, he doesn't look quite as manly as Steiner. which has to do with FFIX. which means we're on topic.


ohhh i thought he meant he couldn't post here anymore or something....O_o don't mind my way of thinking, heh heh :D

[G SpOtZ]

have you ever tried to literally rock and roll? scrunch up ur body into a ball and rock like a baby then start rolling around, it's really fun.

[Karl]

yea i think ff 12 will suk by the looks of it, they r makin too much ff stuff thats off the original format now

[G SpOtZ]

ffix has a guy with a tail :D

[rcabronx]

still gonna buy it tho.... hafta. gon give it a chance...if it sux, i'll hurl it at the wall....or sell it, you know, whatever...

i'm gon rock and roll....brb....

2 seconds later

[Karl]

OMG REALLY?
i somehow missed that every time i played :D
