"When all else fails, use ice." - In any RPG that has Ice (or water, if no ice is around) spells, I will use those Ice spells if enemies have no elemental weaknesses. Not fire, even if it's less MP. Not lightning, even if it's a little stronger.

But that item's completely useless! - I'm an item collector in many games. In Morrowind, I try building up a collection of swords that includes every basic sword in the game as well as most of the artifact swords (Goldbrand, Ice Blade of the Monarch) and a few custom enchanted swords. In FFT, I hold on to weapons long after they're useless, selling them only if I need money.

You realize that MP is not infinite, right? And that you can't buy Ethers? - Screw Potions, I'll abuse healing spells in just about any RPG I play. I find/steal enough MP restoratives anyway, and I can always head back to town to rest in an inn. Morrowind is the only exception to this; I almost never use any magic outside of Alteration, Mysticism, and Illusion in that game, relying on self-made potions and resting for health.

"Dude, I can see you, and we're using grenades." - Like DarkSlaya, I use stealth in most FPSes that I play. Unfortunately, I suck at it. The above quote is from a friend when we were playing GoldenEye...

Kitten Yiffer gets 1000 rupees for this, and a Heart Container. =D

Aside from the Song of Storms, my other favorites are Zora's Domain, OoT; and Temple, Zelda II. Zora's Domain is a very calm piece, not too distracting, perfect for the area it plays in - and for listening to in the background while you're working. And the Temple in Z2... it's just a damn good song. Not so good to listen to when working, though.

Parentheses 1: Distributing roms and posting rom links in posts is against the rules of this board. However, PMs are fine.

Main post: To be entirely honest, I don't quite see the point.

The Para Wing. And it is missing.

I can't edit the poll, and I can't imagine anyone would want to add all the missing karts.

FFT, dammit. You lose many hundreds of points for omitting Final Fantasy Tactics. And a few more hundreds for omitting FFVI.

Alright, one of these has to be closed. The other one sucks, so leave this one open.

Final Fantasy Tactics, dammit!

Alright, alright, I guess I can't pick that one. I should give you a warning for that... *grumble*

Fine, then. FFVI.

oh please, beating me doesn't prove anything. I suck!

I'm in anyway. Yahoo ID is, if you didn't guess from Xk's screenshots, tcalanis. I can't guarantee times I can play, though. Plus which, I'm going for a job interview today (yay!) so that may interfere... I'll work around it. I have my ways.

Oh, and I'm still laughing at YD's screenshot.

I can understand leaving FFAdventure out - as far as I know, that was actually in the Mana series, but renamed to sell better.

TO be entirely honest, someone's gonna ask for the FFL games and Mystic Quest to be included...

Xeo: FFIV was simply too damn linear. That's the main problem with it that I can see. FFVIII was, once you understood the Junctioning, far too easy. 126 Vit, 50-70 Str, almost 4k HP... yeah, Squall was almost stronger than Edea, alone.

What? I always thought the little brat was annoying as hell.

Clock: Wario would also have to be heavier than Mario. Although, that's kinda obvious, so I guess you didn't think it had to be said.

I have a simple question. What hasn't been done before by now? Can anyone come up with an idea that would make a good game that has NOT been done before?

Well? Anyone? All the time that videogames have been out has removed a good number of viable ideas. Anymore, it's not so much a matter of if it's been done before as it is a matter of if it's been done better.

Posted on 06-26-05 02:48 AM, in Who is the best and worst character in SMB2? Link
Best: Toad - Boss Battles Made Easy!
Worst: Mario - Being good at everything means you're not great at any of it.

Luigi's good for going through levels, but his jumping makes boss fights trickier. And Peach picks things up way too slow.

I know what your point was, I was trying to explain why some other people probably didn't like them...

Dracoon: Well, if you don't wanna buy magic in FFV, you could just rely on Blue Magic and Summons... that could be an interesting challenge, going without Black, Time, and White. Just remember, no Haste for you...

beneficii: Ah, I wasn't sure about FFL and MQ. Thanks for clearing that up. Oh, and if you couldn't guess, my talk of warning you was just a joke.
