Fun.....yes, but you have to do the Water twice. There's two bosses on that final floor, and you can't kill both at once. I found Shinryu to be much easier than Omega.

And I found the opposite. I mean, logically, looking at their stats and their weaknesses, it would be more logical to think Shinryu is harder. He was for me! Did you just fight Omega at a low level and Shinryu at a high one?

I fought Shinryu at about 59, and Omega at about 64, and Omega still gave me a tough time.

Shinryu's defense is really low, and anticipating that magic defense for everything would be crazy high (score one for me) I had no Black Mages in my party. Two Knights, Red Wizard, and White Wizard. With the Ultima Weapon in hand, I laid waste to Shinryu (I had never picked up the Masamune, mind you. Hell, I never even traveled to the past yet, I made sure to finish Soul of Chaos first.)

On the return trip, round 2 of Omega. EVEN with the Ragnarok, Ultima Weapon, and Lightbringer, I STILL had a tough time taking him out. (But I didn't leave until I did.)

In that battle, I also discovered that casting Healaga is much more effective than using the Rune Staff. But that didn't help too much when Omega is hitting for 650-800 a round (single, and that's through Protera and Invisira) or 500 to everyone at once. Probably took about 30 minutes, but I did it. (30 minutes for every attempt until he finally croaked, it's a long battle.) If you are fortunate enough to have a Hasted + Forged/Sabered Ultima Weapon going against him, at FULL hp, then it'll do some damage. Good luck staying at full HP though.

Then again, with Omega having crazy high physical defense, using Flare (Ragnarok) and Holy (Lightbringer) was nice too. The damage was about the same either way.

Soul of Rebirth was harder anyway. Not nearly as much game play as Soul of Chaos, but still pretty fun.

Well, duh. The Rune Staff is only Healara. I think, anyway...

*checks* Ahhh, you are right. I could've sworn I saw Healaga. Oopsie... That would explain it then. :p

Here is what I need from you.

1) which game should I hack?
2) What programs should I use? (list them please and where I could get them)
3) the turnouts of the game.

So, let's see. You aren't working on a new hack, you have no idea what to do, and you want public opinion about a project you have no idea how to approach. Spam, anyone?

Here's my intake, I can't and won't tell you (or suggest to you) what game to hack. That's all up to you. But good luck with whatever you decide.

I know there's "ways" to abusing the system, or do they really expect you to attack your own characters, etc?

Regardless, this is a game where I'm actually having fun fighting and leveling up. FFI just gets a little tedious afterawhile.

Ahhh, someone speaking my language. I actually didn't build up my stats too much, I just built up my Shield level to 12 (dual-wielding shields and having a field day attacking does that) then massacred the Captains in Fyn. (Casting level 3-4 magic, and Minwu casting Blink single target on the lone person in front, guaranteed victory.) After some slaughter, I wanted to get enough money to fully equip my characters, and everything is much more expensive. (Sell off the extra Gold Plates, Flame Bows, Curse Scrolls, and Toad Scrolls for quick cash.) Get about 150,000, then head on down to Mysidia. Getting Holy isn't really needed, although Swap is if you want quick HP and MP.

On a last note, don't unequip the characters that leave during the game... (Specifically, Minwu, Josef, and Ricard.)

Ok, raise your hand if you actually saw 3 road teams winning for the wild card games. Anyone? Didn't think so.

Division games:

5 - Rams @ 2 - Falcons
6 - Vikings @ 1 - Eagles


? - Jets @ 1 - Steelers
3 - Colts @ 2 - Patroits


Anyone going to be bold and predict some upsets?

The system works like this:

Level means how many times in that battle that weapon/spell/skill/whatever must be used before experience can go up. And because it's not a 1 point per use system anymore (thank god) the experience shoots up for low levels, and creeps up at higher levels. This is why dual wielding shields go up so fast. You don't hit them, and they don't die. You just keep attacking. The only thing that can happen, is if they run away. To finish the battle, just spread out a spell. Since the damage is pitiful, that goes up too.

Hope that helps.

Common sense says equiping two swords would do the same I'm assuming.

Is it good to duel wield though in your opinion? Right now I have Guy using two Mythril Spears, seems to be good. I had Mindu dual wielding at the time considering he was pretty high leveled compared to the rest of the characters.



Yes, it works the same way for weapons. But since damage is being dealt, it's not at noticeable. You'll want to attack yourself and heal yourself constantly. Then there's the issue of enemies running, I usually try to find a Soldier (in the field near Salamando) since they don't run. *hint*

If you want to dual wield, do so. It actually works now. It's useful for an enemy with a lot of HP that doesn't want to die. I haven't though, because I like the evade. It's up to your style, really.

Yeah, you forgot to mention FF6 and FFX-2. They're either insanely easy or insanely difficult depending on the game.

Posted on 01-14-05 09:21 AM, in MLB implements new steroid policy Link
Testing posivite results in these penalties:
1st: up to 10 game suspension
2nd: 30 game suspension
3rd: 60 game suspension
4th: 1 year

All of these are without pay.
5th: you are at the mercy of Bud Selig

Testing posivite means that the name is released to the public for all to know and see (and ridicule if necessary).

New substances were added to the ban list, but no stimulants were. This new policy takes effect immediately (unless I'm reading it wrong). The deal runs until 2008.

This whole issue was brought up for two reasons:
1. Grand jury testimony was leaked, Jason Giambi reports to using steroids.
2. Barry Bonds testifies he unknowingly used steroids.

Senator John McCain said that if a new much stronger policy was not in place by January, he would introduce legislature to Congress to make a policy for MLB.

Here's my question, if Bud Selig wanted a zero tolerance (as he has stated) why didn't he just accept anything but? He could've given the specifics to McCain, and it could've gone through as such. Something I'm missing?

Anyway, thoughts?

No player should ever have to feel so lost that they'll spend anywhere from five minutes to half an hour cheating to find their way. This community relies too much on so-called "puzzles" that consist of deciding to do one random thing with no hints towards it; players will not waste their time cheating if your game is properly designed and they know what to do.
Secrets do not necessarily need to be found in order to go on. I have a few extra-secret levels that are supposed to be just rewards for the player playing a lot and stumbing upon them, for instance, but they can be easily found just be looking at the overworld in LM =/

You argument fails. Ever since the creation of the "walkthru," secrets have been impossible to hide. Ever since the creation of the Game Genie, people abuse the system to their liking. All you can do is hope for the best. There's no way around it. Because of these two things, nothing is sacred or hidden in a game. I would stop being an elitist if I were you, and accept reality, which is "people suck." Besides, how do you think Nintendo, Square, Sony, etc feel when they put 2 years of a full staff into a game, just to be cracked open within the first 10 minutes...

MLB is suffering because of this union. The sport would be a little better off if every detail didn't go through them.

At least they aren't the NHL owners...

It's definately a start, but doesn't go far enough yet. Here's my question, will the numbers overall go down for this season and the next few to follow?


but it's more a PR move than anything else.

Baseball needs all the good PR it can get right now.

I was talking about all games in general, not just hacks.


Plus, it takes a big company much less time to create something than it does an individual person, because the person doesn't have as much time to work on it and also doesn't have a huge support team backing them up, so...

How does that change what I said? 2 years+ of work is still 2 years+ of work. Doesn't matter how many are on said project, or who is backing them.

Yes, strongly for. I make one thread in the CD about something that caught my eye (which happened to be the coincidental lining up of a few members) and the thread is trashed within 2 minutes. I've seen much worse threads go untouched in there, I could play once card, but I won't right now. If this trend continues, then I shall... So yeah, staff re-organization.

Safe to say his layout/signature broke it.

Back to the question, does that block ever check to not hurt mario while in invincible status? Like, do you have an option to enable/disable mario/luigi getting hurt with various effects? (Like little, big, cape, fire flower, etc.) Make sense?
