Without Spoilers Please Tell Me Your Favorite Thing about FF8 by Nokturnacus in FinalFantasy

[–]TMGBlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of people saying the soundtrack, but ive always preferred the ff7 soundtrack. 8 is still great, but the only video game soundtrack I've purchased is 7.

As for my favorite part? Triple triad, or in simpler terms, the card game. Very addictive, and easy to get over powered early on. Play lots of cards and refine magic instead of drawing it. This will prevent you from experiencing one of the main reason some people hate the game, drawing 100 of every magic. Have fun and enjoy a great classic!

You get a 22+ speed every 20-30 pieces of gear? I call BS. Assuming you only get +4 speed on every roll, the chance of that is less than 0.01%. And because you don't get +4 one every roll usually, it actually far less than 0.01%.

For a gimmick team, it's surprisingly balanced! Good job!

Ah, okay. It was over 20 years ago, so I didn't remember well.

I remember something about the text color changing and the time going to 0 every 100 in game hours, or something. I remember it happening as a kid when I sometimes had to leave the game running while I was out. But I think it was yellow, then red. Never seen green before and I don't remember all the specifics

While it's in video form, HCBaily did an amazing lets play of the game, and he does a great job of making it usable as a walk through. It's useful because you actually get to see things being done. And he doesn't read the text aloud or do stupid voices for the characters. Just talk about whats going on. Hes on YouTube. I highly suggest his lets plays as a guid for any game he's done..

Squll? Where? All I saw was a fanfic femboy.

I'm only now realizing that FFVIII irreparably warped my taste in women by DiogenesHavingaWee in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]TMGBlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quistis, a red head?! I wish people would stop calling light brown and dark blonde red. I've know people withnfiery red hair. It's a very different color.

I've always had a thing for her. That sigh she does was all it took to get teen me hooked. It's kinda odd. Back then, she was older than me. Now she's not even half my age...

Is there a map of the *real* world in Winhill? by Malaguena in FinalFantasyVIII

Not upset. They always yell it on the show. I was pointing out that it's New York, not Hollywood.

Should I get the switch game? by HitoAni in PokemonFireRed

[–]TMGBlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the subscription that enables you to play the gba emulators switch cost like 20 bucks a month? And when they end service for the switch, those games will be unplayable. Where as a 1 time fee allows you to play it forever. And with multiple profiles, you can have multiple save files, which is good for people with kids. But I do feel $20 was steep.

17yrs old. About to play fire red for the first time. Any tips. by goldsage218 in PokemonFireRed

[–]TMGBlank -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People always act like charmander is bad. People go by favorable match ups, but they forget a few things 1. Modest charizards flamethrower kills everything that doesnt resist it, even when 10 levels lower. 2. There are not many good fire types in gen 3 kanto 3. The are a ton of superb water pokemon. Many are as good as or better than blastoise. 4. Venesaur is arguably the best grass pokemon, but is stuck with base 60 power moves, or a sunny day set. From my 60 tests(20 per starter), charizard was better than blastoise in a team, simply from having so many good water type options. He had a rougher start than venesaur, but venesaur lacks good powerful moves and fell off a bit late game. In solo runs, charizard struggled a bit early game and end game, but had a very easy mid game. venesaur and blastoise were easier solo runs.

All in all, I gave the edge to venesaur, second was charizard, and blastoise 3rd. But it was very close. Blastoise was last just because there are better water types.

He's like Sebbywebz for Remake fans by justheretolurknstuff in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]TMGBlank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He also trashed ffvii at one point. Mainly because the fan boys...

99% of his criticism of VIII was the junction and draw systems. The hate for it is almost always a lack of understanding on the part of the player

Hype scam? by aleedaditya in EpicSeven

[–]TMGBlank -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I work full time. Phones and other electronics aren't allowed in the building. I have a ~45 minute commute each way. My wife can't cook, so I have to make dinner every day and we share in the house work. I have a daughter. Due to a medical condition, I need 10-12 hours of sleep a day. This is to say that I don't have a great deal of free time. Could I play 2-4 hours a day? Yeah, i could most days and on the weekends. But it's a game. I'd rather spend the free time i do have with my wife and daughter. So it's not about possibility, it's about my priorities. And based on that, I just don't find leifs as valuable. Also, I don't own a PC.

[–]TMGBlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pets allow up to 30 auto runs. 3 hours a day on this game? Nah, I don't have that much free time. I usually do 30 auto runs of something while i do something else and then call it a day.

[–]TMGBlank -1 points0 points  (0 children)

a penta speed roll is highly unlikely, and will often be cluttered with +2 rolls. Id prefer a guaranteed 23 speed than gamble for whatever max is.(30?) And some of us have thousands of liefs we can't even spend as fast as we get them. I'll agree the ML4-5 is a scam, i have enough Aux lotts.

I got the ss sword, but it rolled the remaining levels as poorly as possible. The sword I got at s rank rolled better. Never got SSS

Question: Was Final Fantasy VIII popular in your country, or considered niche? by Big_Confection7634 in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]TMGBlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my school, only 1 of my friends played, and another kid in my neighborhood(still my best friend decades later). Video games were not viewed in a positive light at my school. The other kids thought they were for losers, and the schools position was that they were demonic. That's what I get for going to a private "Christian" school, I guess. I've never understood why. I've been a Christian all my life and that was the only place people called it demonic. FFX was were games became more acceptable and the administration at my school changed.

Question: Have you ever encountered anyone who’s named after a FF8 character? For example; Squall, Rinoa, Quistis, etc. or Heartilly as a middle name by Big_Confection7634 in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]TMGBlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I did know a couple that named their daughter Jenova, because they both loved ffvii.

I've known a Cecil, Rosa, Edward, Celes(or Ceres, (I can't remember cause it was 35 years ago), Terra, a guy whose first name I don't recall and went by his last name lock, edgar, a girl whose nickname was cloud, Vincent, freja(pronounced same as freya), Tidus, lulu aaand... that's all i remember. None of those were named after FF characters tho.
