[PS2] Final Fantasy XII

Well I certainly hope that it will work with Swap Magic, otherwise I would have downloaded 4 GB for nothing... will also be tough to even get a little bit of the story, but hey, at least you can be like "hehe I already got FFXII".

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay I just tried it and it works. Well I mainly downloaded it for the AMV scenes and so far, I am happy that I even figured out how to save =D

There are some games that don't work with SM, so I'm not always that optimistic.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As far as I am informed, the Swap Magic trick doesn't work on the slim PS2, you need to hard-mod it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Me too, but I guess there will be more than enough in a couple of days. The only thing I figured out so far is that you can save if you touch the blue diamonds ='D

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Mmmkay now that's freaking amazing. Thanks a lot for the link, dude =D

Do you know Japanese or what? O_o

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm about two and a half hours into the game and I must say it's seriously awesome. I have never experienced something like this on my PS2 and yes I have played Resident Evil 4. The cutscenes are astounding and what really makes me happy is the difficulty of the game which is not too easy but also not too hilariously hard like Valkyrie Profile 2. I really enjoyed it so far and I'm sure it's gonna be the best game I've ever played

FELIPE NO

The voice acting is incredibly awesome. No flaws. I especially like the Scottish and Irish voice acting, and Fran's voice acting is just astounding. I'm about 15 hours into the game now and still have the impression that I'm just at the beginning

Very good game, I was worried a bit because it could have been the hype of the century, but fortunately, I was wrong.

Well, at least some of the voices sound Scottish and Irish... Maybe I'm wrong, too.

That's something I noticed as well. If you're unlucky and run into some area you're not supposed to run into yet, you suddenly face enemies that kill your party with one hit. Happened to me in Giza Plains when I decided to fuck with some more or less unidentifiable monsters there.


Oh, by the way, good job keeping this thread updated, Simo

Spoiler:

I guess you need to use those seeds from the flower you picked at the spot where you met the Moogle, it will be much more easier then. Otherwise, in my opinion, you won't have a chance at all.

Oh, and yeah, that faggot who "designed" Vaan's "sixpack" should be shot.

I wouldn't worry too much about the gambit system. Just have one character being the "healing slave" and, well, the others just attack the leader's target. At least that's my setup and it's been working great so far.

Spoiler:

Yeah, escaping from the Leviathan was pretty much a pain in the ass because most of all, you cannot save before you have to face the boss, which is pretty awesome just in case you bothered to kill all the guards on your escape and have like no potions left

How ya doing, buddy?

If you don't have Elixirs or Esuna magic, you are pretty much f*cked

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Something just came into my mind:

My main party consists of Vaan, Basch and Ashe, they all are Level 28 give or take, while the other three (Balthier, Fran and Penelo) are only at Level 14 or 15. I just hope this isn't going to be a problem (e.g. Basch or Ashe leaving the party) since I really don't want to level up the other characters as well.

What are you guys strategies? Do you keep all your characters on the same level or do you concentrate on pushing your main party? How often do you change your main party?

Oh, btw,

Spoiler:

Ogir Yensa Sandsea

is a great area to level up your characters. First of all, you have Vossler, whose strength is quite helpful and you can get chain levels like wow (I, personally, managed to get a 200-chain-level there).

Since I am permanently out of ethers (I dunno why, is it possible to buy them somewhere or what), I found the Charge technique to be extremely useful. If it works, of course But even if it doesn't just try it a couple of times and it will work. Of course, you shouldn't try that when you're in a fight.

How ya doing, buddy?

I stopped playing today. I played all afternoon It's time to give my PS2 a break, haha.

Vaan has 2 Quickenings, Balthier has 1, Fran has 1 and Basch has 2. Whoo...

There's a pole in the game called Gokuu, which is pretty cool considering the legend.

Vaan's at level 14 and you already got six quickenings? That's pretty sick, dude O_o

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I wonder whether it would make sense to eqiup ALL characters with Golden Amulets, I mean, it definitely makes sense to equip those who're not part of the main party with Golden Amulets, but first of all, they ARE a bit pricey (5k for one, I think) and second, there are other important accessories. That's why so far, I only equipped Vaan with one, but of course it makes sense to equip the more or less inactive members as well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Haha, by the way, you know you live in the greatest generation when you're playing the new FF game and a moogle is talking about missing his flight and says "Oh noes!" to you

Don't perform charge if you have 60/90 MP or something like that, only if you either have 0 MP or if you seriously need additional MP. I normally charge when there are no enemies around so I can perform it again in case it fails. Not recommended to be performed in battle, especially boss battles, though, I prefer ethers for that kind of situation.

Gee, yeah, that was so embarassing. My girlfriend came into the room asking "wtf are you playing there"

I definitely wouldn't fight the first one. Just escape and fight the second one. It is much more easier since you'll have much more time to defeat it.

Yeah, I tried to get the +100 HP, +150 HP and +500 HP as soon as possible. The +150 HP and +500 HP squares are not too far from each other, too. Problem is that the +500 HP square is pretty pricey, I think it was something like 155 LP, which shouldn't be too much of a problem with Golden Amulets, though
