No, I blame my gorilla-sized digits. :/
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I don't know, dude. I have huge hands, and me and my DS-Lite get along fine with the blitzing.
FELIPE NO John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Maybe it depends on the system you're playing it on? I play the game on my GBA SP, and I have no problems at all doing Blitzes, especially Aura Cannon. On my sister's Micro, it's a bit harder to pull them off when I did Raging Fist (she didn't know how to do it). I had to press the buttons more slowly for it to register. I noticed that lots of people are having trouble with Blitzes on another message board, so maybe I'm just lucky I guess.
Have you guys seen the scene where the dancing girl says "this one's Humpty and this one's Dumpty?" Is she naming what I think she's naming? :D P.S. I'm on Sabin's plot point right now. I'm saving the best for last >_> P.P.S. I don't like seeing those menu portraits whenever characters are talking. P.P.P.S. I played FFVI twice before getting the GBA version, and I don't ever remember laughing at the escape from the Imperial Camp scene. Was any lines changed there from the SNES version? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well, I guess that bit were Sabin involuntarily emulates Cyan's noble accent could be new. The dancing girl scene was really great, pity though they put it in that shortly after Cyan's loss.
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Wait a minute....What the fuck is Raging Fist? and Aura Cannon? So they changed the names of some of the moves too? Pummel and Aurabolt? I'd like to see the name for Bum Rush and Air Blade and such.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Naw, that scene where Sabin emulates Cyan's way of talking was in the SNES version. The part I'm referring to was when Cyan was in the magitek armour and he couldn't control it. I wonder if the lines he was saying there were altered, 'cause it seems a lot funnier this time around.
P.S. Yes, they changed the names of the Blitzes to make it more accurate to the JPN version, just like a lot of other names in the game. They're just words though. I don't mind what they're called. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Does anyone know if they plan on releasing the strategy guide? Normally they have one out before the game... Although Nintendo made the one for FFV, maybe they're doing it again?
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
So sorry to bring up GFAQs again, but someone emailed them about it and they said they're not making any at this time. As for whether other companies are making any, there's no official word yet. It'd suck if there's no guide. All the other FF releases recently has gotten one.
How ya doing, buddy?

That's kind of lame, not that I can't play it without a guide, I just like having it as reading material. Thanks for the info though. Companies usually make a killing just by releasing a guide since they know people will buy it. How weird.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
You could argue that since they already made a guide back when the SNES version came out, they don't need to make another one. Then again, they did guides for other rereleases.
You could also argue that they don't want to make a guide because the GBA is a dying system, they don't want to make a guide for it. Yet another reason would be they don't think the game is popular enough to warrant a guide (ironic that FFVI is one of the most popular FF games if that is the case...), or that maybe the previous guides didn't sell enough to warrant making one for FFVI. Either way, we get screwed. How sad. Most amazing jew boots |
I think they figure that there's already to versions of the guide out (Back in the days of SNES and then another with the PSX port). And more or less, the game is unchanged. I suppose you could argue the addition of the Dragon's Den would warrant a new guide along with the name changes.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Just got mine today (Huzza for importers) and I'm lovin' every nostaliga-soaked moment of it.
Incidently, the slowdown (as small as it is) doesn't seem to plauge the game all that much when I was playing it in the GBA Player. Edit: Huh, thats wierd, rage fist eded the Vagrus fight before the tutorial Jam it back in, in the dark. All I'm saying is that if the laptops of the future are not in the
shape of chibi genie girls then I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

Instant classic line coming like what.
Spoiler:
This new translation rules. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
I didn't even see that line! Awesome stuff man.
I got past the Opera scene, and ppl say the lines changed. I don't even remember the original lines, but anyway, I like the new lines. I had to do it 4 times >_> This game is addicting, man. I am digging the new translation as well, even though I don't remember every single line in the original. "There's a reason impose rhymes with dispose!" Did I get that right? >_> I was speaking idiomatically.

I agree that the new translation is fantastic. It really does the game the justice it deserves and sheds more light onto more of the minor details in the game. You aren't left wondering what someone meant by their saying anymore. The biggest thing I've noticed is the addition of hilarity. Click :D:
The only thing I'm still disappointed about is the level of difficulty. It's an easy game. Enemies should have had their HP doubled, especially the final boss's. 5X for him. I guess I shouldn't complain. The game is plenty hard when doing a low-level game. (I recommend this challenge to FF6 vets.) FELIPE NO |
This game is good. By good, I mean fucking awesome. I couldn't even imagine 10 years ago I'd be playing this game on a handheld system. I just finished with the part for the battle at Narshe. I was a bit under-leveled I think, because Sabin didn't have his Fire Dance (or whatever it's called in this one) Blitz yet and I always seem to choose the "wrong people" to stick in each of th three parties.
I haven't experienced any lag or slowdown or anything like that. It's just a thrill for me that I don't have to dig out the SNES copy again unless I want to re-live everything and notice the differences. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Onto the second Stratagy battle...wooboy, I knew I was going to hate this part and bugger if I don't know I'm right some times.
Edit: ... and it turns out I could of mad dashed though it with Terra, Edgar, Saban and Cyan... Jam it back in, in the dark. All I'm saying is that if the laptops of the future are not in the
shape of chibi genie girls then I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

@Render: I knew that didn't sound right. Thanks for the correction.
I had to do that strategy battle two times. Blah, I heard that if you're quick, you can actually get through to Kefka so you don't have to defeat every single soldier, but I killed them all anyway. That part was tough. I put 3 of my strongest in one party (for boss battle), 2 2nd strongest in another party, and the last 2 in the last party and just shoved them in the corner so they don't have to fight. I'm at the Magitek factory now. Yay! Stealing is awesome. I got cool gear like Dragoon Boots, Mythril Vests, and a gazillion tents and hi-potions. Yay! P.S. Ifrit just killed my entire party!!! :( For an Esper who was drained of its power, how could he cast Fira? There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actualy by the end of it that's exactly what I did, shoved a healer (Terra, being the better of the two) and then practuly went from highest LV to lowest.
Actualy once you do that, the battle is a breaze and afterwords shoving two Earring Relics on Cless seems to more or less offset Terra's narutal magical tellent. Most amazing jew boots All I'm saying is that if the laptops of the future are not in the

The guide Daravon posted earlier is probably your best bet if you must* have a book, even though it's in Japanese. It's 400 odd pages, and it looks beautiful. *Some of us are whores like that. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
A word of caution, I don't think Vanish+Death works anymore. I went to go power level my magic with the help of Intangirs and Death actually MISSED them. O_o
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Yeah Vanish no longer overrides instant death protection of monsters. So no Vanish + Doom/X-zone. Algorithms for Evade have been fixed as well. Yay for Illumina being even more broken!
Still you can't get some monster's Rages like Proto-Armor... and Gau and Gogo can't equip the Merit Award so no more Wind God Gau/Gogo =\ What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
