Finally Playing FFIX

[Loony BoB]

Spotty NoB? Ew, that is a disgusting nickname.

Battle: I always favour high power attack with healing capabilities, so my ideal group would be Zidane, Quina, Steiner and Garnet.

Story: Hmm. Nobody stands out to any huge degree for me. I find Quina to be really fun. I've not got so far as to be able to say what I think of every character's story as I'm still on the second disk and only onto the second continent, and I'm assuming there's a chunk more to go in the game considering the number of places I've not yet visited. I think one of the strengths of this game - at least so far - is that not a single character really annoys me on any level.

If I had to pick favourite overall characters thus far, they would probably be Quina, Steiner and Beatrix.

Somebody else who likes Quina !

I thought that he was always really hilarious and that his or hers Blue Magic was really handy in battles.

And eat Hot Dog Pizza Neo. Eiko is awesome.

I love this game so much, I'm glad you're enjoying it !

I don't find it started out slowly. In fact, there was never a slow point for me. I always wanted to see what happened next. I actually had two save files, one was my game with all of my leveling and grinding done, and the other was me speeding through it to see what happened next because I couldn't wait to finish my leveling. And I would do that until I was at a stand still (from lack of leveling) and redo that.

I <3 Vivi and Quina

I love the little things.

Just got Amarant last night. Forgot about him being one of the playable characters so it was almost a surprise. Garnet's story got a bit more interesting.

I find Zidane's Steal is really horrible at times. I fought the boss of the Lifa Tree (or whatever it is) for probably 20 minutes, mostly with the two white mages constantly healing everyone while I watched Zidane fail at steals time and time again. He has Bandit enabled, too. Urgh. I hate it when there are items I can't steal from bosses no matter how hard I try - I know I missed out on one of them, the Fairy Flute, and it really annoyed me. I spent ages and then just gave up on that occasion because I didn't want to waste any more ethers.

EDIT: And I just read that the Fairy Flute is really good. -_- Dammit, Zidane, why are you so bloody terrible at being a Thief?

[NeoCracker]

That is one of the games downsides. Steal is an amazingly useful ability for once, and it never works.

[Quindiana Jones]

Iifa Tree.

[Jinx]

stealing's a necessary evil, my man! if thievery worked off of failed attempts, the game wouldn't be a challenge. you're encouraged to steal as often as you can from everything you encounter. zidane is a thief, after all!

[NeoCracker]

Yeah, don't bother. Thievery really isn't that nescessary.

Nor is Dragon's Crest or Frog's Drop.

Max damage in this game is beyond insane compared to other entries in the series.

[Jowy]

mount gulug is aggravating as all hell.

[NeoCracker]

Only fight I recall being hard for me was Ark, the one where you split the party.

Dudes an asshole.
