Are you better at Final Fantasy than your friends?

[soulICE]

even bigger sob story (downright pathetic)

i have a full memory card for each final fantasy 4, 7, 8, 9, chrono cross/trigger, and working on my 6th file of 10.

i was the master of final fantasy in my electronics shop class (big thing considering my shop were a very nerdy bunch [quotes of monty python and fights between trekies and star wars a daily thing]) everyone came to me for help at some point in any game..

then i convert my bf to FF10 since all he's played is FF7 on his pc. he doesnt even need a strategy guide cause i know where to go/ items to get/ boss fights like a maniac for either game. i still have to bug him more to get a ps2 to replace his rubbish x-box (no offense)

now im at the point where my brother (the one who introduced me to FF by making me level up his party in FF7) is now asking me how to do this or that.

^pathetic, no? :rolleyes2

I own my friends at it, I've just been doing it for way longer. Hell, ever since Mystic Quest came out I was like "pwnd!" What I do with FF games is I "devour" them. What I mean by this is I play them hard and fast. I smash through dungeons, commit mass genocide, raid towns of their loot and never look back. I also play underlevelled and unprepared the whole time. Thusly, I repeatedly have to pull off miracles just to progress. You should have seen me beat the tar out of Ultimecia. I had none of the "required" spells to junction, some pathetically weak GFs (CACTUAR!!!) and comparitively few limit breaks. I rocked that woman like it weren't no thang!

all my friends who play any FF games are FFVII players.

my former friend Jason (no longer speaking to me) was a master at just about everything in FFVII except that he couldn't beat Ruby Weapon w/o using cheat codes. he's also a master at Kingdom Hearts (except for killing Sephiroth). he's played a lot of FFIX but never finished, he's finished FFVIII, and he's finished FFX. he tried FF Tactics once but couldn't get beyond the 4th major battle, i think he told me.

my friend Dan has played a lot of the PSX FF games (7 on up), and some of the older ones but i can't remember which ones. he's better than i am, but he's not exactly spectacular.

my cousin John is the ultimate FF obsessee. he has played just about every single FF game out there, and won it. i always go to him first (aside from here) when i'm in a whiny mood for getting help on whatever part i'm stuck at in such and such game, and i'm pretty sure it gets on his nerves at times cuz he's always telling me to just look in a walkthrough/FAQ on gamefaqs.com or something FIRST before asking him.



as for my own abilities, let's just say that i kinda babied myself while playing FFVII for the first time (used the strategy guide religiously), but that when i have played stuff in FFI and FFIV, i've only gone to the online info sources (e.g. walkthroughs) when i was really lost about something.

but um yeah, i suck at FF in comparison to my friends. and they're all guys who rock at action-based games. i'm not so hot at FFIV and FFVII b/c most of the RPGs i play have turn-based battles, so i'm more comfortable with taking my time to figure out what to do rather than live in the moment and whatnot. i'm a Dragon Warrior/Golden Sun/Lufia kinda player. that's what i'm more used to.

FFI is the only game I'm stuck with for so long. Damn, where's that item shop? Oh, there's a town in the castle? *dies*

My friend John played FFVII, FFVIII and FFTactics. He wasn't a worshipper of FFVII (he's a bit spoiled as far as graphics goes). FFVIII was something he had some hate for. We used to discuss FFtactics stretegies from time to time and besides, he's the one who indroduced me the game.

Another friend by the name of Tanakan (he's Thai) had played FFIV up to FFVIII (not sure of FFIX) but never played FFtactics (He played MQ, he hates it ).

He said FFIV was okay, FFV was so-so, FFVI was rather good, FFVII was GOD, FFVIII was crap, at least, that's what he said.

Being a FFVI fan, he and I used to have some debates (you know, the usual FFVI vs. FFVII things:P). It was fun having a mobile forum with the thread "FFVI vs. FFVII" walking with me

Lufia is a good game. I suppose you like Zelda games?

Well I only have one friend who's a die hard FF fan like me and I think were about the same level of skill. As for my other friends they've only played FFX. And they are quite horrible in RPG's compared to me. Considering they had to get me to beat a lot of the later bosses in the game for them.
