    I have a lot on my gaming plate as it is... but I really want to play through it again.

    I need to finish FFIII and then go through Steambot Chronicles first but I plan on going through a second time and building a strict (but balanced) job class system using the LB. I'm hoping to post it as a challenge on the boards.

    Hey Renmiri, want to help build the gambits for the job classes when I'm finished?

    I also want to play through the story again as I actually enjoyed it as well as the side quests.

    I'm doing another playthrough now. It's May 7 already?

    I plan on playing through a low-level game soon.

    Playing a challenge is always a great way to make an old game fresh again. I don't know if I'd play through it again normally any time soon...

    Yeah it wouldn't feel as tiring if the story was more engaging then it would balance itself out.

    Don't get me wrong, I found the story fantastic, just that they exhausted us too much, with dungeons such as the Pharos and the Great Crystal. A little more story would of been great at times, because I was very interested in the political feud going on in Ivalice. I started again last night, straight after I completed it, and couldn't help to fall asleep when I met Tomas again. I already knew everything, and I didn't want to hear it again.

    I'm still wondering on what I could do differently, I might go with a job system as well. Make Balthier a Red Mage or something. Make Basch my leading Swordsman. Make Vaan a White Mage.

    Do the exact same for the other team. That sounds decent enough, I might try it out instead of making everyone the same.

    I started over after completing it as well, not as much for the story, but to try to complete the bestiary, hunts and sky pirate's den. Getting to see the story again is just an added bonus.

    The only thing is, I tried too hard on my first playthrough, and fully explored most of what the game's got to offer. I done life 7 or 8/10 of the hunts, and done most of the sidequests. I leveled up to around 70 for each character, except Vaan who was lvl 77. I just need to get the Zodiac spear this time through, and complete the collection of the espers. I will also try to follow the story better, but I understood it well enough the first time.

    I beat it maybe 2 months ago, and started a new game not too long ago. I gave up on that one though, I'm playin the FF's in order and right now I'm on 3, so it'll be a while before I get back to this one.

    Although I think this game has a lot of replay value, and I'll be doing it again to get a more cohesive storyline, as the gameplay to story ratio was horrible in this game. I'll probably try to get everything after beating it the first time, although it'll suck going back to really low marks, except they'll be easy and i'll know how to get there.

    Imo the story isnt worth it, the hunts are kinda tedious (but fun every now and then)
    And im a fan of turnbased games, like the previous games. Dont really like this walking around.
    Theres no music or cutscenes to look forward either.

    Guess I'll keep playing 7 through 10 all over again, like Ive done the past 5 years.

    Personaly theres no value in re-playing this game, let alone buying it in the first place.

    Can't say I'd have the patience to restart the game before I finished the game I had 11 espers & most of the hunts done did a few sidequests too but found most of them unexciting. I do intend to get the other two espers & finish the hunts plus I have unfinished business with two rare game monsters. I'll get to it some time between studying for my college exam repeats & working.

    Aye, same here. I "overdosed" on it my first play through and now I find myself going nuts with boredom after an hour of play

    I do want to finish my hunts and bestiary and such, I just can't find motivation enough to stick through it.

    Perhaps on doing a technique only challenge I've been planning to do (and tape it to Youtube like ashe10 did with hers)

    Not real sure if/when I'll actually try to play through the game again. I just couldn't get that involved in this one. It was good enough that it made me curious to see what happened at the end, but, even then, it left way too much untold. Or, at least I didn't catch the hints. (SPOILER)Did, Balthier and Fran make it out? What happened with them? What was the deal with the rings in the letters? Now, if the story had been as good as FFVII or even FFX and X-2, it would be almost impossible to get me away from the gameplay. So, if I play it again I'll probably just pick up somewhere in the middle where I saved it cuz my little girl loves to see Ashe and Penelo perform their mists. She'll be 2 years old June 17 and its so cute when she mimics their movements and sounds. :mog:

    The ring with the letters was Ashe's wedding ring, Balthier took it from her sometime at the beginning of the story can't remember for what though?
