Hey can you guys suggest what I should do in ffta2? I'm doing the pearl hunting mission on hard and the boss is beating the crap out of me. Any suggestions on what classes I should use?
Tough melee classes with counter. When he does the big attack that draws everyone in and hits them all your guys will get a free counter attack, it's pretty much the only way to take him down quick enough.

I dunno...if there's one thing that game, it's that it's not very difficult as soon as you find the right class combinations. What race/class setup do you have right now?
Just played through Dirge of Cerberus (Yes, I actually like it for the most part) and I gotta say,
Is there a dumber, bitcher, stupider female character in Final Fantasy than Lucrecia?
Recklessly gets Vincent's dad killed,
Marries E-VIL SCIENTIST incarnate man for the LULZ because *gasp* Vincent reminds her of her ginormous screw up and she can't handle it,
Decides injecting ALIEN DNA into her unborn fetus is a good idea FOR SCIENCE,
Generally acts like a stupid, selfish whore who has no idea what she wants,
An eternal unlife with Jenova is really what she deserves.
On the plus side, Hojo really was a damn pimp. Tapping that scientist booty and laughing in her face every chance he got. It's rather funny if you watch Cerberus in that light.
Seriously, I feel bad for Vincent.

Haha, cute pic. I love how Yuffie's running around swiping whatever she can. I've been meaning to pick up Dirge on the cheap sometime. I'll probably like it. I'm still disappointed there isn't a Cid Highwind spinoff game. There needs to be more Cid Highwind, dammit.

Pretty sure they didn't get married. To Hojo, the copulation was instrumental to science, and nothing more.

It's a fun action game for $15-20 bucks or so. There's a lot of weapon customizing you can do. And other than Vincent, Cid gets the most #!$%!# YEAH moments in the game.
Plot wise, the only thing that's really retarded other than Lucrecia is Shelke and her damn monotone "I-refer-to-you-by-your-full-name-Vincent-Valentine" dialog.
Other than that, it's great. Yuffie especially is hilarious, and the rest of the cast all get cool cameos.
Some people think DeepGround is silly, but that's sort of the point. They're a bunch of psychotic posers who *actually*think they have a prayer of killing the heroes of Final Fantasy VII. It's fun to watch them get demolished one by one.
The biggest problem with Dirge (although it has many) is that I've *NEVER* played a game that more blatantly shows your character doing awesome things and then sticks you right back in the thick of playing a mediocre action game where you don't have even a tenth the ability of your cutscene-counterpart.

Asses to you. Shelke was awesome, and is the one character I'll be hoping to make a return as a future party member.
Anyway, to compliment the adorable artwork....here's something that'll either qualify as incredibly overdone or incredibly bad-ass.
I'm of the latter camp, and I've now got a sudden urge to see what an AU Edo-period FFVII would be like...
Funny how I'm immediately excited just from the flash teaser. I really hope it hits this year.
Are you sure it's for FM? Though I will agree it does give off a very FMy feel.
And if it is...please don't suck...please don't suck. Go back to the FM3 days when my melee/shotgun close quarters combo was king.
There's nothing funny about it. That teaser is fucking awesome.
Incidentally, does anyone have any idea where I can get a copy of Front Mission DS? Does this game even bloody exist? I don't mind importing. I'm pretty sure it never got a UK release. I just want to play with a proper SE localisation (although the fan job was pretty good.)
EDIT: erk, I mean, that Final Fantasy, pretty good, eh?
I'm still only about halfway through FF7. I keep meaning to finish it but I always just end up playing Valkyrie Profile
They actually told the VA for Shelke they might have cause to have her back (I interviewed her when the game first came out). They then had her back for FF12 though to play Ashe (when I interviewed her again), and they hadn't mentioned FF7 or Shelke since.

They released it in NA so if there's no EU version your choices seem to be English or Japanese imports
Judging from the Youtube footage of the XIII demo, it looks like they are doing some kind of hybrid between the MMORPG feel of XII and the older final fantasy games. You transition to a fight mode, but you have freedom to move around.
i just bought ff xii the other day. so far this is what i've learned
-my need to always play as vaan is really hurting my play style, as the enemies always attack me first since their gambit is usually attack: first visible, and i'm not really leveling him as being a tank
-i suck at programming gambits
-people die FAST
-don't believe ondore's lies
-dude i'm totally gonna go kill that t. rex AAAAAAAAAH
-the depth of the license system is totally lost on me, as i just buy licenses for the strongest things i can buy
Although it is comparable to the lightning dodging game in FF X for one of the ultimate weapons.
The difference being that I was actually able to finish that.
Yeah but its not like the jump rope game had anything useful in the long term.
I always wanted the King of Ropes, but could never get the 1000 jumps.

@ Major Tom. Front mission on the DS is fucking terrible. Don't get it. Amano's artwork really shouldn't be used for in game profiles, because everyone looks exactly the same.
@ Gunstar.
Make yourself a one of those holy triangle deals. 1 tank, 1 dps and 1 healer. I doubt you have the decoy ability yet, so for now you're stuck with hoping you're tank does enough damage to keep up.
Your DPS should only have Attack->Tank's Target, and nothing else. Your Tank should probably have Attack -> Lowest HP, except maybe for bosses. Your healer should probably have something like Ally HP Less than 70% Cure, then they're attack gambit, and then Ally Less than 90% Cure.
This way, in combat you're healer will still land a hit or two, and will top of your other guys once the fight is over.
If you want, post your gambits, and I can tell you whats up.

I'm so thankful that all you got from jump rope was that and some cards for the crappy card game (where you can't even magically transform the cards into all kinds of powerful items - what's up with that?). I'd hate to feel obliged to play it.

For gambits, put healing/status cure abilities before offensive abilities. Since potions are used immediately (no casting time), use them as an emergency fallback option with your gambits.
There's not a lot of depth to the license board. Before you can use an ability, you need to purchase it from the board. That's it. Everyone's board looks the same. You should look for an image of the entire, unhidden board online so you can plan ahead and buy only those licenses you want. Other than that, if you're in a bind ability-wise, grind for LP.
Like someone else said, this is essentially a single-person MMO, so play to those expectations. Plan who is going to fulfill what role in the group - who's DPS? Who's tank?

I personally have the light armor users in my party (Vaan, Balthier) use ranged weapons most of the time.
Yeah, but the fight itself can only be fought once when you've beaten it, and it happens without choice the next time you take the ship from South Figaro to, uh, the other place.
Progress update! Made it to Junon last night. Too bad that I'm going to be on a business trip for like 4 days. I could always bring my psp and see how laggy the remote play is.

It's pretty bad. I can't get a decent framerate/responsive controls when my PS3 and PSP are in the same room, with the PSP connecting directly rather than going through my router.
Seems to be responsive enough for me with very little lag when I'm in my apartment, same room or not. I have been playing this mostly on the psp while the wife is watching tv. I do know that when I do an internet connection it can be attrocious, so I am skeptical.
And by Junon I ment Costa Del Sol.

Traditionally the Final Fantasy numbered series, it takes about half a year between the release in Japan and the release in North America, and another half a year before it's released in Europe. But we would like to minimise this, this time.

Am I fucked or can I get Mog still y/n

Pretty sure you can only recruit Mog after the floating island incident, so no, you're not fucked.
Just MAKE SURE that when that section is ending, and you have the option to "Wait!", you pick "Wait".
Then you just wait.
