Hmm..>> Is it just old people checking in month or something?

Thats what Im mostly doing. Ever since I left SU two years ago I kinda just dropped out of all the forums I used to visit. I just recently vame back here to TFF.

For some reason I had the urge to play FFT again, haven't played it in 3 years or so (had to blow off all the dust). I love the battle system for this game and the job system was excellent. I want more FFT games in the future and not just remakes for the PSP.

Announcement, not release. SC2 and MGS4 aren't out yet, goober.
But anyway, yeah, I traded first and second gen eggs to Ponk yesterday. =D

[azrafel]

Playing a bit of FF12 right now. Damn good storyline. Damn good.


Hopefully, after I buy my house, I'll be able to get a ds and ff3, 4, and ff6:a

[psychosyd]

I was told to post here, so I am... and to make this not spam, my current playlist of games is as follows

Currently Playing:
Kingdom Hearts 2
Warcraft III
Star Wars Rebel Strike 3

Kinda all at the same time...

I have backlog of FInal Fantasy XII and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and also I need to buy myself a freaking Xbox 360 and get a bunch of games with that as well

(ie, Perfect Dark Zero, Halo 3, Fable 2, Blue Dragon, Morrowind 4, and good games like that)

hello everybody

I believe I am still member here? The fact that I joined way back would say thus, but my activity in this club would say not thus.

Currently playing FF12.... but I'm at the stage where I need to level up some more before I can fight any more Espers/Hunts... so it's some-what tedious.
Also re-playing The Secret of Monkey Island for the buzzillionth time. Absolute friggin' old school point and click adventure game classic.

[Dauragon]

Woooooo... first post in awhile.

Is it just old people checking in month or something?

Indeed. Come September, I'll disappear into the icy darkness only to return sometime in the Spring. Any gaming time I've had has been spent playing either The Sims 2, PoP: Sands of Time, or Shadow of the Colossus. Not much in the old school department, although I have been feeling the Adventure of Link urge now and then. All I have to do is pull out my gamepad and prepare to throw it against the wall.

[ZRO]

lol, every month is old people check in month around here, just depends on who the "old" people are.

As to me...well, got out my Dreamcast yesterday, played some Capcom vs SNK against him, properly schooling him in the ways of the old-school fighting gamer. He claims he can beat me at everything, and so far, he's yet to manage.

Dreamcast... you never hear about that anymore....

Sure, it's old now but you at least still hear people reminisce about the PSX and the N64. Shame really, as even though I didn't play much Dreamcast, I understand it was a pretty good console. How much did you pick it up for?

[GRIM REAPER]

The Dreamcast was a great console its just that the Playstation blew it away, poor Sega. One of the best RPGs came out for this system Grandia, the version was for the Dreamcast later on the PS2 version was relesed and it didn't look as good. I got mine at GameStop when they were fazing it out for $30.00.

Actually that's Grandia II. The first Grandia was on the Saturn and then the PSX.
Both awesome games, too

[ZRO]

To be honest? I don't even remember how much I paid for my DC, that's how long I've had it. I got it before they were truly phasing it out, as I got it when SoulCalibur was still the "OMGWTF" fighting game of the time. I have probably a good 20 game collection for it or so, and I try to watch for more when I can locally, but it's hard to catch'em, since the people who do have it, don't wanna get rid of it, lol.

Quick question, for those in here with graphical interests...anyone know of a file format I can use besides .GIF that can allow for animation....ya know...with maybe better color range? My Current sig is kinda...bleh at points, due to the color limitations on .GIF, unless there's a way to undo that limitation and I just don't know about it.

CP:

[Jin]

Don't PNGs support animation? I'm pretty sure they do, although I may have suffered a blow to the head. Who knows.

Anyways, I'm just checking in to say that I'm alive, albeit not feeling like it. I have been lurking around the forums periodically, but I haven't been posting much...or at all. TFF decided to tell me otherwise, so what the hell. I'm not back off of my hiatus, but nevertheless, let's talk about gaming.

So I started playing FFX again. I forgot how much I liked that game. I just love how they made such an idiotic main character. He's so fun. Like the hyper active kid that won't take his riddilin and constantly botheres others. Haha. I've also been trying a bit of that new Civ4 expansion and eh, it's pretty much the same. Nothing special there. That's about it I think. That's kind of lame. Oh well. Work sucks. Yup.

Here is a classic that I know some of you will enjoy, the mega man series was good in the old days of NES and SNES but lost touch with the newer ons on the PS and PS2. Now awhile back Capcom released the collections game which had most of the Mega Man X series on it but now for the 20th aniversary they are relesing evry single Mega Man game created! Mega Man 1-8, Mega Man X - X8, Mega Man Legends 1 & 2, Battle Network 1 - 6, Mega Man Zero 1- 3 and several more that I don't know about. Look at the Mega Mantrailer at Gametrailers.

[ZRO]

Grim....I <3 you.

And as of this moment, unless they release it PS3 only or something stupid. I <3 Capcom.

[GRIM REAPER]

I was surfing the web earlier when I cam across this one rom site. I haven't downloaded a new rom in years so I went in to see what they had and lo and behold I spied Banjo Kazooie for the 64. Now I have another good title to go with my Mario 64 rom also i managed to find the rom for Mariokart 64! Im having fun now with my emulators. =>

[Dawezy]

Hehe, well as some of you know.. with all these yummy releases in recent times It's been more and more of a damn fine idea to buy my own DS (Lite or not, I dunno, couldnt tell the diff from all these sites I'm reading) but the price is a real ball-buster. The *average* retail price down here seems to be hovering around the $180~190 AUD mark.. in the coming weeks I'll make a journey to a nearby EB Games shop (one is close by, other is a short distance from my mum's place) and see the proper price.. memory doesnt serve me too well as you all know ^^;

That, and FFIII is $79.95 in itself.

Hmm indeed.

None of these damn sites give any hardware specs either, so give me the lowdown lads. Hear talks that its backwards compatible with ye'ol GBA games (ie. FF4Adv) and such.. how o_o? DS and GBA carts are 2 completely different things lol ~ and gimme any random helpful info that springs to mind aswell, I'm a nub to the portable gaming concept. I may be able to play ROMs and such on my Laptop but that is hardly portable gaming ... I cant exactly fit my Laptop in my shirt pocket >_>;

And hook me up w/ the url to that ROM site Grim.
(disclaimer to lurkers/nubs about ROM site: TFF and its staff [Moderators, Admins] doesnt openly support ROM/Hacking/Leeching of copyrighted games, if you download a game and get in the shit for it. Its no fault but your own, common sense succeeds =\ please exercise it.)

[Jin]

The DS has both a port for the DS games and the GBA games, although the GBA games tend to stick out a bit. They actually kind of pulled a Sonic and Knuckles + Sonic 3 with some of the games so that you get extra content in the DS games if you have a certain GBA game inserted. Okay, when I say some, I mean one that I know of. Harvest Moon. Alas that's all I know about the DS. That and that it's fun pressing down on the DS games while they're inserted and releasing for some wicked air time after they fly out. It's not my DS.

Sorry, boyos, no new/old games for me.

[GRIM REAPER]

I haven't payed much attention to the DS, all I know it has two screens. Dawezy I sent you a PM with those links to the rom sites I found.

Anyway I have been back to TFF for a month now and I just now relised that the Clan Wars are gone! What happend to the RP clans and now that I think about it more I was a member of Soldier for a bit before I left. now that brings back memories because now i remember that girl club the TFF Femme Fatales. i had asked several of those members to be my date for this one Valentines Ball RP, I endend up going alone but I had fun in that RP getting all drunk and groping a few people. Man it has been like 3 -4 years since I have done an RP.

ZRO have you done any more of those Flash thingies you used to do with me, dawezy, Scorp and Arkaine? I still have one of them. I'll put it up.

I haven't really done too much sprite based since around that comic to be honest Grim, had my head shoved too far into FFXI. ^^;

On a side-note, my family went on vacation, so my bro let me borrow a couple of his games. Namely, Guitar Hero II, and Star Wars: Episode III. Obviously Guitar Hero II being the better of the two. Tis time to rock out a bit. \m/

Well Banjo Kazooie and Mario Kart 64 entertained me for the last couple of days and now switched to some older and good long games. Banjo was a good find and a fun game but it was easy, now I am starting new files on two great RPGs. FFVII and Chrono Trigger are my next victims for the time being until I get the Call of Duty 4 multiplayer beta, Halo 3 and Blue Dragon.

Well nothing else to report for today...... oh that’s right! Yesterday I entered a contest for the local radio station here in San Antonio and I won 4 passes to Six Flags Fiesta Texas! I’m gonna ride those coasters all day!

Why Persona 2 when Persona 3 has graced us with its presence?

BECAUSE IF I OPEN THE SHRINK WRAPPING ON P3, I'LL NEVER FUCKING FINISH P2!!!

It's not like Persona 2 is required as there are no direct relations between the games; however, I'm not an idiot and I know how I am when it comes to playing too many games at the same time. Also, for any of you who have not yet purchased Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 for the PS2, I STRONGLY urge you to do so before I travel to your homes and murder you while you sleep by shooting you in the head just like the teens in P3 do to themselves in order to summon their Personas.

[ZRO]

Hmmm...I'll have to look into that some time I guess....I gotta play the first one some time tho, since I have NO clue what those games are about. On that note tho, tomorrow is a big update for FFXI, so I'm excited to see what they do. Supposed to be upgrading 2handed weapons finally to compete with dual wielders. WEEE! =^.^=

[LocoColt04]

I gotta play the first one some time tho, since I have NO clue what those games are about.

But that's the GLORY of it... they're nonsequential, so there's no reason whatsoever to spend years trying to find copies of P1 and P2. There were only seven copies of P2 at GameStops around the country, and I was fortunate enough to have one at a store that was 30 miles away... in MINT CONDITION... so yeah. Also, Persona 1 sucks (for a MegaTen game, anyway, so it's still decent), so there's really no need to try finding that one.

They each have the same base concept, but they all play differently.

[Dawezy]

As mentioned a couple of posts ago I actually ventured out of my house today (HOLY SHIT! LOL) since I had some business further in town.. man I hate paperwork, rots what is left of my brain but anyway. Started my day early, up before 7am (as opposed to a 9~10AM wake up) and went on some buses. My first stop was the actual retail-complex where EB Games is housed in but being the time that it was.. no stores were open yet, it was oddly quiet for a change~

I scored myself some Mc Donalds breakfast and made my way back to the buses, with a short sigh as I passed EB Games again with the doors shut. After my venture further north to drop & sort all this paperwork nonsense out I made my way back to the previously mentioned complex/centre.. and YAY! EB Games had its doors open.

Dawezy went for a little walk inside and asked the dude at the counter a few questions.

1; How much is a DS/Lite?
2; Is FF3 in?
3; Do you make/sell GBA's anymore?

1; $185
2; Out of stock, will be in Saturday
3; Nope, but DS is backwards compatible, etc


Asked for some release dates on FF4 but they werent on the system, so that shows how far behind we be downunder. T_T

[LocoColt04]

FFIV-A was released before FFIII-DS was. I'm thinking it's already out down there, and it slipped the cashier's mind. I'm pretty certain that Europe has had their hands on it for ages, so there's no reason whatsoever why you shouldn't have it down there either.

Ask him if he can do a sku lookup on "Final Fantasy" in category 16 or 914 (new and used GBA, respectively). If his store has any in stock, he'll show something on the list.

There's a good chance he just spaced.

I could also be wrong. It's been known to happen.

And if I'm wrong... the DS is region free, and plays DS/GBA games from anywhere in the world. If necessary, I'll pick up a copy of FFIV-A for you and ship it out. I've got no problems with something like that.

SURPRISE BITCHES!

Realized I haven't posted in a while. I've been getting my old school gaming on thanks to Wii Virtual Console. I recently beat Metroid NES and Mario 2, and currently playing Super Metroid.

I've been sorta taking it easy on big purchases lately, because I'm REALLY trying to save up the money for a new PC, which I've been trying to do for the past YEAR. But now I'm getting really close.

And now I'm just SUUUUPAAAAAA! Metroid that is. I figure instead of shelling out 50-60 bucks for MP3 (which I REALLY want to play) I'd just catch up via the classics, and save my money for a few more weeks. And I've got DKC2 after that.

Man! It's so awesome to play these classics on a big screen with 5.1 surround!

Oh BTW does anyone have Chocobo Tales for the DS, I've really been wanting to challenge someone to a card battle. My Old school decks of doom will be your undoing!

Ney lad, I was reffering to the new DS version. Figure if the Japs have put a date on it surely it'd be somewhere on the db. Seems I was mistaken ; ; ah well.

In other news, I onry got about 3 hours sleep last night! wee.
And I managed to finish Quake IV, need to find out a method of extracting some sounds from that game.. the laugh the macron makes is made of pure win.. so deliciously evil . I've also quite pimped-out my character in Oblivion too ~ got a stack of Reflect Spell / Damage stuff equipped. Got like 57% Spell Reflect proc, 12% Damage Return. Hehe, and I got him lookin like a total champ too. ^^b

Just noticed my dude was blinking when I took the shot, lol, looks like he aint got a face XD.. I dubbed him "Spikes" as per the Argonian factor ~ their heads are covered with barbs and such. But my dude is a Vampire so its makes for all the more fun, biting necks is a tasty business.

[LocoColt04]

I've got it, but my sister's played it far more than I have. Give me the time to actually go through the game and put together a deck worthy of using, and I'll certainly get back to you on that one, my friend. Until then, random Wii messages will have to suffice... which I've not received any from you in quite some time. =(

[Cain Highwind]

With all that talk about Wii's overheating from being left on in Standby mode, I wanted to play it safe and disable it ESPECIALLY with how hot it's been getting here in Southern Cali. Closer to Winter, and/or if I want to check out Weather/News again, I'll reenable it.

[LocoColt04]

Actually, it only heats up when it's doing any sort of system update while in sleep mode. I have had WiiConnect24 turned on since the day I got the system, and it's only gotten hot twice. If you're really that concerned, GameStop sells a Wii Cooling Stand that actually works REALLY well from what I'm told. I haven't had a single one come back to the store, though I also haven't felt the need to buy one myself. Better safe than sorry, I suppose, so if you're worried, give it a shot. It sells for fifteen bucks and has a nifty glowy light.
