*raises an eyebrow* Just say it. Or I will obliterate you.

Yeah! From now on, I'm the darker, more evil and loving Kyle! No, that's wrong! It does because we're awesome, luff! <3 It's worse, I apologise. =D Are they? Well, Three Days Grace is more Post-Grudge and Alternative Rock but if you insist. =D Oh, and Chipmonk needs to die and all rap artists.

Okay, okay, okay, okay! I'm sorry for calling you dude, okay? xD I never said that you'd kill me... heh...

Well, you should rest a little, it'll help! And I'm here for you, okay?

Why?

It's really awkward for some reason! xD It's like, it became a part of me or something. xD (I will, promise!)

Wahahahahahahaha! =D Indeed it does! No, you suck worst at clarity. Well, I like Alternative Rock, Nu Metal and Post-Grunge. Metal isn't so ad but I only like certain types. Justin Bieber and all those Disney bastards shall be maimed, killed and burned! Agreed? And yeah, it's working now.

Yeah, really! =D I know you were getting me back by calling me dude. x3 Oh, I couldn't get hold of any... I know, I know! I'm sorry.

Oh, poor Fatey! Do you want me to keep you company?

I'll look for it now! Wow, finally. =D

Oh, my name! It looks so... out of place? Maybe I'll get used to it after a few days but you know. =D (Of course, I am!)

Hence, why getting him as Illusionist and playing to the enemies' weaknesses (including Geomancy) works so fine. The thing is that Illusion A-abilities are pretty weak, so it's either getting an insanely high Magick Attack score + Geomancy or use it for something else. That, and books unable to be used with Dual Wield kinda kills the set-up.

As for Frimelda, go nuts. She'll definitely do well with Paladin and Dual-Wield, so Seer is a reasonable idea; Cura and Raise, Refresh and Magick Frenzy will do well to supplement Saint Cross and Holy Blade. Fighter also complements real well: with Frimelda's attack power (I haven't noticed, actually, if she has a S growth on Attack), she can dish enough damage even with Blitz. To be precise: my Frimelda has Blue Mage as her secondary ability, if only because I already had a Fighter/Thief. Though, I ended up having a Blue Mage/Seer for the heck of it, using the Blue Mage's scimitars in Dual Wield and having a load of spells.

As for Moogles: Chocobo Knights are some of the most powerful classes, even though their abilities are limited. The reason is because they have the best Speed rate of any class. Although, to be precise, Gunner, Mog Knight and Juggler are the best Moogle classes: Gunner's Stopshot is still the best way to stop enemies, since it has a reasonably good chance of inflicting Stop AND also deal damage; Mog Knight is pretty solid despite the Attack and Defense penalties for purposes of race, plus they still have Ultima Charge; Juggler has Ring (the second best method to inflict Stop), Dagger (Disable + damage) and Smile, arguably the best way to deal Quicken since it's pretty much the same range, no MP requirement, and always works. Good combos with Moogles are: Flintlock/Gunner (you can use the Cannon to heal from a distance and deal damage at the same time, and it's insanely complete in terms of healing, damage and status effects), Gunner/Mog Knight (sure: Ultima Charge + range might not seem the hottest thing. However, Mog Rush + Concentrate does, plus you can do Mog Attack from a distance which means damage and knockback from around 6-7 squares); Juggler/anything or anything/Juggler (because of Ring, Smile and Dagger).

Bangaas are an acquired taste. I must admit that I'm a fan of Bangaa, if only because I can always trust they'll dish some respectable damage, but also because even the Bishop can take hits before falling. Cannoneer is a great class, but it's mostly stand-alone: you MUST remain in Cannoneer to take advantage of ranged combat and abilities, and few Bangaa attacks work in range (and badly enough, Gladiator isn't one of them). Cannoneer/Warrior is a deadly combo, since you can use Body Slam in melee or debuff in range. Templar, on the other hand, is sick as heck (the least-useful abilities are Rasp and Silence, but otherwise it is a very complete class), Gladiator is pretty useful, White Monk is pretty close to FFT's Monk (it has most of the abilities, and a Master/White Monk pretty much replicates the old class in its entirety), Dragoon has the use of spears, Jump, three elemental breaths and solid defense, Defender is usually one of the sickest classes to lob around (in FFTA, Aura + Meltdown usually meant going kamikaze and killing enemies without even thinking about it; FFTA2 nerfed that by making Aura use MP). I'll admit, Bangaa were pretty nerfed from their FFTA brutality (Defender's Aura + Meltdown, Bishop/Templar's Soul Sphere healing battery), but what they got in exchange makes them one of the best races in pretty much anything except magic.

I also had a Sage/Morpher in FFTA, but I digress on the sadness for its disappearance. I'm irked that Gadgeteer remains in FFTA2 (as Tinker) because the abilities are horrible, but Morpher didn't really had a way to be: the "Morphed" status pretty much replaced both your A-abilities AND they were just a so-so method to use monster attacks, and even then you didn't had all monsters to choose from.

Finally: Mantra Magic wasn't so lethal. I rarely used it, unless it was against Adamantoise since those are really hard to kill (not anymore, since Lifebreak and similar attacks are far more effective, plus they apparently are less formidable to break).

And as for the Alchemist, you can't go wrong with Sage. Another Illusionist isn't going to cut it real well, while an Alchemist/Sage will have the best spells at its disposal.

Hmmm... Perhaps I have. I really need to keep my mouse cursor off of the post message selection. xD

Yeesh... Sounds like you should stay in bed and rest up. Well, I suppose if the tea makes your throat feel somewhat better, then it's better than nothing. I agree that the lemon and honey would probably help more though. Hmmm...hot rain. I don't think I would enjoy that... :/ The rain is about the only relief from the summer heat that we get (even though it's not summer yet. ;P). Don't know what to tell you about the air conditioner. I hear that it is better for you to stay bundled up and sort of "sweat out the sickness" when you're feeling under the weather, but I honestly don't know. Sounds like you're pretty miserable though.

Heh... Maybe they didn't like my first topic, so I made another one. This time I did catch one of those bots "reading" it. xD When someone says "Well, curiosity killed the cat" to me, I always respond "But satisfaction brought her back!". ;P (Been forever since I watched it. It plays on Hulu, so I might catch up on some episodes sometime.)

Yeah, I just DL'ed a bunch of new brushes to see if maybe I can kickstart some creativity, but I may just be too frazzled right now to really do anything interesting. I'll try it out though. =D

Hmm... I suppose so. Most people I've seen with a HC license plate do park in those spots if they're available. If someone without one parks there, they throw a FIT. I remember my boss had to walk up to a customer who was in the middle of his meal to tell him to move his car or he would have to call the police. Only reason it was brought to my boss' attention was because a handicapped guy said that the customer was parked there illegally.

Well, that's if he sticks around for it. I noticed that he made a welcome back thread in April or so, and then disappeared, and then made another welcome back thread not that long ago. I agree about his banners though. They're very good, but I hope you don't get discouraged. Besides, it's really just for fun anyway. Pretty sure you knew that though. =)

So...How Have You Been? How Come We No Talky To Each Other Anymore? What The Flux Happened?

Haha... I sent you a VM without finishing it first. xD Can't remember what I had wrote to you, so here's the best I could remember:

Ew... Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. You're supposed to be on summer vacation too, yeah? Sucks to start out that way, but I hope you get better soon! It's surprisingly not that hot down here in Arkansas, but it will probably get that way. We had a lot of rain, but when the sun starts to shine, that humidity is going to skyrocket.

Hehe... Just made a new thread, and did what you said. Didn't see any bots checking it out though... Yeah...even though it's in public view, it's still spying on other people's business, but oh well... (Nope. You lost me on that one.)

Well, I thought about what I should do with it, but I'm not having any inspiration come to me. I really like the one I have now, so I might just scrap the idea altogether. Yep. I did that when I was trying to make shadows on that banner I made for Psiko. Then I figured out that when I do the shadow effect, I have to anchor it down so it doesn't "float" on top of the render. xD The more you practice, the more you learn, I suppose.

Meh. It was alright. He was an adjunct professor, so he really didn't care about teaching that much, but I did manage to learn a thing or two. Yeah, I agree. I think it has to do with the fact they have to learn to work around their "disability" whereas those that don't have those problems tend to just take it for what it is.

The thing with rectangular banners is that you have to find way to cover the entire area, whereas working with transparent ones, you can sort of skip out on doing that, since the effect seem to pop out of the work area. I think you new banner in your sig looks really good. Great colors! Ah well. At least you're getting in the practice for when TFF starts doing it's own contest. Then you'll smoke the competition and be VICTORIOUS! =D

Geomancy only works on elements (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Water, Wind, Earth, Holy and Dark). The idea is that you'll be reinforcing your offensive Ra-magic through High Magick, and your Illusions to deal as much damage as possible to compensate for the low attack power of books.

I find odd that you're lacking Bangaa or Moogle, considering that they're available pretty quick (and they are easier to get than Gria, which means at least you must be at 2/3rds of the game and already having access into Ordallia). IIRC, one of the starting characters should be a Bangaa, but that shouldn't matter. Recall that, in the case of Nu Mou, the Alchemist can use items on behalf of the party, so that would imply getting Ethers and Hi-Ethers.

Recharge doesn't recover a random amount of MP, but a fixed amount: you recover 24 MP, but with the ability cost of 4 MP you gain 20 MP with each use (technically, you're "tripling" what you get with each turn in terms of MP).

In the case of a Seer, Friendly Fire Replenish MP isn't a very good idea. At most, with Recharge for two turns you can launch two straight Magick-Frenzied Illusion spells on the next two turns before you need to recharge once more. Replenish MP grants 20% of the HP damage you get as MP, so for every 20 points of damage you get, your Seer gains 4 MP: to get enough for a single casting of Magick Frenzy, you need to have your Seer receive around 110 points of damage before the first turn, and the Seer doesn't have much HP to begin with (much less if you consider that you'll be spending part of your levels as Illusionist). Replenish MP is mostly an afterthought; a punishment on enemies that attack your Seer, since they can allow him to recharge his MP much faster, hence moving away and attacking from virtually any range.

Thanks. . And yes, I've completely lost my touch... Damn look at my current sig! It's by far the worst sig I've EVER made.. And to answer your question, knowledge is useless without the ability to turn it into action. I lost that ability to turn my knowledge into something that can been seen and appreciated by others.

I'm working on recovering my skills, I really am. I even started listening to Evanescence again, that band had a HUGE influence on me back in the day when I knew exactly how to turn my knowledge and ideas into a work of art. Let's just hope everything is back to normal soon.

Haha. It takes talent, it really does.
Seriously though, I lost that talent long time ago. I was working on a new sig earlier this morning, and man, I sucked so bad. I just became another so-called graphic artist.

Every time I look at the sigs and banners I've created in the last two years I realize how a shitty graphic artist I'm now.

Imageshack - photoshopcj.jpg <---- I once was a creative graphic artist with rich imagination....

WOAH! THATS AWESOME!

No, actually most irish people are quite tall... I'm about 5' 8" ... I was the shortest when I was in elementary school

TROLLS NEED BRIDGES! Otherwise, you are an ogre... And nobody really likes them

OMG YEAH! Lol, this time Imma do it right, and sorry to put you down, but I got an faq if I really need

GNAH SO MANY MINI CONVOS AT ONCE >.<

Bwahahahaha! xD Well, that makes more sense! =D Rock is the best. Metal is a little too much! =) Justin Bieber = SATAN SPAWN! Justin Bieber = SATAN SPAWN! Justin Bieber = SATAN SPAWN! Justin Bieber = SATAN SPAWN! Justin Bieber = SATAN SPAWN! He needs to be sent back to the gates of Hell! Yeah, it's saying an error has occurred.

Because someone else told me the same thing. =) Fine, I'll buy some chopsticks tomorrow! I'll take a picture of me with them and then you can teach me, okay?!

I could tell, love! xD I have no idea what you're talking to me! At least I told the truth though, right? xD Rock > ALL OTHER GENRES! Me, too! And Owl City needs to get off adverts! =D Youtube's acting up! =O

You should be! I'm your dream! <3 I know what you mean... Heh... Chopsticks? Seriously? x'( They're really hard! xD

Bwahahaha! You really like Nightwish, huh? =D Yeah, I understand what you mean. Especially Metallica for you! I hate Owl City or whatever they're called! xD I'll listen to it now!

Yeah, a whole week! =D I'm so happy! I will be optimistic. He's just experiencing what I had, huh? He couldn't be ill! He's never ill! =D I've always wanted to be Asian!

Yeah! It's pretty epic but I just like This is War a smidge more. I never liked Led Zepplin either but that song grasped my attention a few years back. No, I thought you said Fireflies for a second, then. I was going to break your ribs. =3

Yay! I can't wait! I just found out it's this Friday, not next Friday! xD Yeah, like it's a disease he may have or something, huh? I'm worried. Yeah, I am! xD
