Final Fantasy consuming your life? You're not alone

I was just wondering who else was playing FFXII out here, if there is anybody. Needless to say, it's kind of been a bit (smidgeon, tad or any other adjective you want to use) of a time sink for me. Couple that with a new quarter starting at school and there suddenly doesn't seem to be much time for other stuff. All of which probably isn't all that healthy but there you have it.

Whew, Jerin how long have you been working on that?

Yea, I feel that they've made XIII easier than FF's in the past. But that's my opinion. I loved FF VII and still play it from time to time.

Final Fantasy VII will always be my favorite, no matter how they make the new ones. But XIII did seem a lot easier compared to past ones

sheesh, three years? yea I could imagine that you would need to take breaks. I don't think I would even attempt that.

schoolo and work take priority. if it wasn't for that I'd have been done long ago. I can finish the games in 40-50 hours if i rush it, though i tend to spend a lot of time leveling so around 80 hours is normal for me.

((YAY!!!!! Someone actually used "You're" for "You are" and not "Your" for "You are"...

Thanks, AlainDaishar. That just made my day.

But, to hijack the thread a bit... which is a rarity for me... I actually haven't gotten any of the Final Fantasies after X-2... which I kinda liked. How can you not like getting to play Barbie with Rikku. And... I think I only really ever got Final Fantasy for the Nintendo... VII... and X-2.

But, what I have on my "to-do" list right now is Persona 4... still. I swear, one of these times when I get a four-day weekend, I'll play it.))

I can agree with that. Grinding is unbelievably boring. I'm doing that right now for FFXIII. I can only go for like an hour and then I gotta do something else. I do the exact same battle, over and over and over again.

Seens my PS3's disk drive is going wonky on me (it wont reconise the blue ray games, and movies but it will play dvd movies.) im out of playing FF XIII even more for the time being.

I loved X, but X-2 was a decent game since it did'nt have the sphere system and it focused on the actual levels. The garnet grid certainly gave new meaning to the class system.

I only wished I had gotten a PS3 so I could have played the Agito Cystalius series, the Versus game.

((Parasite Eve... geeze, I haven't heard that name in years. I played that old behemoth on the PS1. That was a wickedly fun game... a bit of a learning curve in some parts, but otherwise a solid crpg.))

I know what you guys mean. If I start a game, and then wait a while before getting back to it, it just doesn't go well. (I actually usually forget the controls, and get annoyed and then start the game over. Not the best reaction).

Never thought to find Fello FF grinders.

A bit late, but no one will give a damm, right? I am almost done with FFIX, this one is the only one left, before I await the other two, Agito and Versus.

Persona, I have heard a ton on these games, but never bothered to go for em. Now....FFVIII, was insanely easy. Hell, I was doing 4-digit damage before you even get to leave the starting Garden for the first time! FFXIII is more or less the same. It all depends on how you customize the weapons and how much you actualy fight. FFXII should have been continued. It is actually worth every spent dollar, since you have to be a quick thinker and keep an eye on the chaos that can easily be made on the much, much, tougher sub bosses.

Very true. I absolutely loved FFXII. Some folks had quibbles over the battle system, but honestly it wasn't that bad in my opinion.

oh I thought that XII was the worst. It was such a let down compared to the other ones.

I liked 12 more than 13... 9 is my fave though. 10 was the only one i was close to beating... but a friend told the ending to me and i lost interst in it.
