FFX
erased data with a auron that could hit 99,999
every FF
forgot to save before boss fights and every once in a full moon heal the emery and attack my men.
ff7- got sumbarine 4 first time and didn't know emarld is underwater and saw it (i didn't know it was emarld) and went straight to it and got obliterated and had to go through that stupid minigame again because i didn't save
I did that too on my first playthrough. :eep:Quote:

Or in Tactics, I only had one game file, and got pwned by Wiegraf in that one fight. Had to start the game all over again.
I have learned for my mistakes, thankfully.
Honestly, I can't think of anything really stupid that I've done. I'm sure there were some when I started playing FF's, but that was over 12 or 13 years ago. The only thing I can really think of is that I often go after Bahamut after Fusoya has left my party in FFIV. He's a bit tougher then, but I don't think I've ever lost since the first time I ever fought him.
I remember my big mistake. At the beginning of Final Fantasy VII, I didn't know that you had to save Jesse. I thought she would just come on her own. It took me a while to figure it out.
Not junctioning in FF8 and wondering why I was getting my ass handed to me.
Same, but I knew it was Emeral. That makes me even noobier!:DQuote:

Mu friend didn't use the sphere grid, he forgot to, and when he did he went backwards and wondered why they all sucked. Also if he didn't have the right sphere, he'd skip it and keep going.
ff7-lost the submerine minigame because it was hard and boring
^^
Cast flare on an enemy that I watched cast reflect on itself.
:eek: and i thought i needed help on ff when i was a noobQuote:

i was a noob
In Final Fantasy 7, my first rpg (and my favorite), when you are going to wall market with Aeris, when your leaving sector 5, going towards the playground, theres like a pole you have to run up next to a crane, and I could not figure that out for the life of me. Seriously it was six months after it, that after a long time i had given up, and six months later i figured id try it again for the hell of it and finally figured it out. I was runnin around everywhere, trying the use the crane, fighting houses, everything. It was actually 2 years from when I first got Final Fantasy 7 until I actually beat it, you can imagine how satisfying it was and no other game has come close. Anyway dumb [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] like that kept stopping me as I was trying to figure out this weird new game world.
ah.. poor guy i firgue a person who amires auron would be smarter..
also i didn't poke into emerald i could already see images of death in my head (creul painful ass kicking)
When I played FFX for the first time, I died in the fight after the first boss. Of course, since I didn’t see the save point, I had to re-start the game…
Double > Reflect > Curaga -_-;
Since my earlier years were spent watching my cousins play video games as much as they were actually playing them, I can't really think of any real "noobish" move I've made, as I've always had a generally good grasp of how to play the game.
However, there are some stupid things I've done, usually involving tactical RPGs and making a mistake with a move or an action. In those games, even one screw-up like that can be deadly.
When I first play FF X, I was "level" 20 plus when I fight the boss in Luca....-_-
Well, VIII was my first Final Fantasy, and the first time I ever played it I got all the way to the end of disc one before I learned you could junction magic to your stats. (It was also my first ever RPG period, mind you) Imagine my surprise and happiness when Irvines HP went from about 900 to about 1500!
I shudder when I think about that NOOBNESS!
giving aeris the ribbon when you first find it in the temple - nuff' said...
I still have my noob problem. I avoid leveling up at all costs and end up being destroyed at the end of the game. This happened particularly in FFVIII, at the end of the third disc. I got stuck at a boss battle, all the random enemies there gave a total of ONE experience point, and I don't remember being able to get out of there. (Been awhile, so I don't know for sure.) I never beat it. ^^
Other than that... I can't think of anything.
Before I started playing video games, I watched my Dad play them alot - so I got a good idea of what to do. I can't remember to many noobish sort of things I did.
But the first time I went to the 'Tomb of the Unknown King' in VIII, I spent at least half an hour lost in the damn thing. But I'm sure nearly everyone gets lost in that tomb at least once.
In FFVII, I got stuck in the Temple of the Ancients, in that labriynth type bit. I was lost there for AGES, I even got a strategy guide to help me (before the days of teh internets for me) and it was just a simple turn to the right or SOMETHING like that.
What else...? Uhh...probably saving over old games and stuff :p
In FFIX I didn´t understand how to teach skills at the start:eep:
Ooo Ooo.... this is a good one. I just did this last night.
I was fighting Atma Weapon on VI, and I was getting wasted. Shadow was the only one who knew Life and I was out of Phoenix Downs. It was one of the hardest boss fights ever. Long story short, I beat him after what felt like hours. Everyone was alive, but had sh!# for HP except for Shadow, who then proceeded to leave the party. I wanted to go back and save, but I took one step and got into a fight with a pair of Ninjas, who almost instantly killed me with their stupid Water Edges. :mad: :mad: :mad:
FF8- missing half the GFs in the game
FF9- Taking several game-overs to realize that you had to kill the Black Waltz 1 before you could kill sealion. :riiight: My dignity is still bruised over that one.
I cant say I feel very n00bish on games. I sometimes forget to save and die and have a long way to trek ....
FFTA- Finishing the story and breaking the law
FFCC- In River Bell Path I saw the broken bridge and said "Guess I can't go through there
FFX- Couldn't make myway through sin
I never did anything noobieish. I was born to play Final Fantasy.
Well actually. If you spend all your time trying to steal from the Sealion and Black Waltz 1 you can wait for your trance to reach its fullest and then kill the Sealion with "Free Energy". It's actually pretty easy to do that I dont know why people say you cant do that.Quote:

So we lost the location of the Air Garden and felt the mighty force that is Ozma
Well, when I started playing FFX, I thought I was enjoying it. I was worried I was becoming the dreaded "NOOBIE". I later realized I was a masochist.
It was a load off my shoulders.
c'mon guys, don't be scare.
Oh right. When I first played FFVIII, I missed Leviathan, Siren and Carbuncle to begin with, and then missed them again when you are given a second chance in Ultimecia’s castle. This happened, despite the fact that I had already been told exactly how and when to get them, in both instances.
In FFIV, I didn't know how to get Fire for Rydia to melt the ice blocking my way in Mt.Hobs, so I just trained my people, thinking that Rydia will learn Fire by herself. It turns out that I still haven't gotten the Sand Ruby, and healed Rosa to proceed the game, and get Fire for Rydia >.<
Oh, I remember another one.
Getting the spoon for the first time in FFIV. Just as I exit Fabul and walk to my airship, BAM! Random Battle. And what did stupid me do? Threw the spoon at one of these monsters, thinking it was a useless item. I lost my spoon... TO AN IMP!
*facepalms*
FF7
you know when your in the dinosaur bone digging site? well i was digging for the harp and i swear man....i couldnt figure out how to do it. i didnt know u had to press square a number of times and place bombs and coordinates and crap. that alone probably has to have been the most difficult thing to me in my ff history. everything else is all a breeze to me ff wise tho =]
You want noob? I'll give you noob. First time I played FFVII, got killed by the FIRST boss (without saving cause I didn't know how to save plus the fact that my FFVII is in spanish... drats). :mad:
not saving often enough..
What about the time you got lost in the Dreadnought? Or when you didn't realize that the Jade Passage went directly to Pandaemonium? :D :D :D I could go on...Quote:
not saving often enough..
First time I played FFVII and spent 30hours+ on the first Disk leveling up RedXIII, Cloud and Aeris... Had the buggy.... went and got Mythril, got Great Gospel, was well chuffed, dismissed other 'stronger' characters for my kick-butt Aeris... Disk 1 ended... Drank contents of nearest whiskey bottle... Cried...
There are things I do purposely to be stupid... like... naming all the characters in FFVII Sephiroth for kicks, but there are things that I don't even want to mention... from my first ever RPG encounters...
The first time I ever played FFVII, I got my arse kicked to the moons by the Robot Scorpion. Why? Well, Cloud goes "Barret, attack that thing with it's tail up!" And I did. BOOOOM. Dead as a Cloud getting shishkabobed with his own freaking hair. It didn't say "If you attack him when his tail's up he's gonna get cha," did it? Nooooooo! Once saw the label thingy show "It's gonna counterattack with his lazer!" Yeah, that... Grr.
Then there was this one time I was playin' FF... umm, FFVII again... and my brother pointed out that Aeris was in the back row. RAWR? I put her in the front row, ignoring all stats and levels because just before this I finally kicked the Scorpion's metal hide and got passed "the leafblower" Battle Guard-thingy (we called him leafblower I don't know what his real name is), I had no idea what I was doing. So Aeris goes and keeps dyin' on me. "WTF? She's only level 5? That's to help her weak defense? Why didn't anyone tell me!?"
So a little while later, I got up to the point where you go to Wall Market to save Tifa from the whorehouse. Aeris tells Cloud to dress as a girl. I don't save. Not thinking about it, go and get the dress. So when the don gives the questions and you pick one of three answers... I kept thinkin' well you wouldn't have to go down if you pick the right answer or if someone else gets picked. I get all combos of getting picked and different dresses and then different answers. Three months later, I gave up on taking a different route out of that place...
OH i hate the first boss in FFVII with a passion i always attacked while its tail was up. the sad thing is, i must of played it like that 6 times before learning, i always wondered why i would run out of potions before the end of the boss battle.
another Noob mistake was repeatedly trying to take down ruby and emerald with lvl 30 characters, with out any special items at all. REPEATEDLY it never came to me that they were supposed to be harder than that.
Also i tend to get stuck on wierd bosses alot and end up giving up for a year and coming back and kicking thier ass, it happened the Gi spirit (i didnt know it would die with just a pheonix down.), sin, yunalesca, Siephroth, and jechts final aeon. It didnt happen in VIII yet and i havent started IX yet.
in FFT, Orlandu was turned into crystal once. Yeah, that time I was a REALLY BAD player. -_-;
I repeatedtly kept dying on what seemed to be the easiest boss in the world, the Oblitzerator from FFX. I wasted Lulu's overdrive on the boss instead of on the crane. And I didn't have Haste until I got to the Moonflow -_-
<<; In Final Fantasy X, when I borrowed it from my friend, I also borrowed the guide to it. Well, I was going to fight Geosgaeno and saw that it said you should equip a shield to nullify Stone. << I thought I could handle it, went into the fight, and lost Wakka and Rikku to petrification. Then the dang boss sucked Tidus in and killed him in one hit when he was spit out. I had to fight the boss EIGHT times until I finally beat him. >< I got the smart idea to get Stoneproof shields, too <<;
