Hey EB, I'm playing through this game again. Join me in the merriment. I'm gonna try and Blitz ( :smug) through this game before the month is out, but you fellas can go at your own pace. Share your stories and thoughts as you progress through the wonderful game that is Final Fantasy X.

Let's all drown in semen.

EDIT: I forgot Rikku has a massive cameltoe at the beginning of this game. Plus 10 points already.

I've spent the past two New Year's Eves with the Lips.  I was also at the UFO at the Zoo concert they recorded for DVD.  A friend of mine here lives down the street from Wayne.

Wayne seems like a really chill guy. It's kind of amazing how different they are now from their 'Transmissions' days. I'd ask if I could get an autograph, but I'm not really into that whole celebrity/musician worship. I'd rather just have a chat with Wayne than his signature.

when I say I spent NYE with them, I mean at their concerts... they do an annual New Year's Eve Freakout in OKC... best way to ring in the new year.  They also do a Halloween parade in OKC called March of a Thousand Skeletons.

Well I'm more speaking in reference to the fact that your friend lives near him. Though that doesn't really mean anything. I want to catch one of their New Year's shows sometime. It would totally be worth the flight to catch them live. Does Wayne still do the bubble?

Also, thread derailment total.

He lives in a middle class neighborhood.  he bought two lots and connected the houses.  nothing fancy.  That's where the band and roadies stay when they're in town.  I've never talked to him, but my friends who have say he's super down to earth.  My friend who lives in his neighborhood owns a small countertop business and did Wayne's countertops recently.  Anyway, I love them.  I have the Cosmic Autumn lithograph by Wayne framed and hanging in my office at work.

Rad. What would you say is your favorite album by them? What did you think of Embryonic? Or their cover of Dark Side?

Soft Bulletin is probably my favorite.  I really like Embryonic.  It has to grow on you though.  Dark Side was so amazing live.  They did a regular set NYE and then regrouped at midnight and performed Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety.  So fucking beautiful.  Just amazing.

Embryonic definitely grew on me. I was wtf'ing the first like five times I heard it, but I finally came around to really enjoying it. The tracks I've heard off of the studio version of Dark Side didn't sound so hot, but I'm a really die hard fan of the original. I consider it to be the most complete and technically sound album ever crafted, so...

At War With The Mystics is my favorite album.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy X Thread of Obnoxious Laughter and Blitzball Blues
Post by: Lucretius on January 22, 2010, 01:33:08 AM
Mystics is rad.

When I'm just listening at home, I prefer the original Dark Side of the Moon.  But live, in the colliseum, and with all the laser beams shooting out of Wayne's gigantic hand and bouncing off the world's largest mirror ball on the ceiling and with the trippy multimedia thing going on behind them... it was rad... before he started he had everyone set their phone alarms for 12:55 am which went off at the beginning of the song "Time".  The sound in the stadium was great.  Way better live than the Lips' studio version.  And this was right after we had the world's largest NYE balloon drop ever.

There are a bunch of problems with the execution of that scene, starting with how the "real laughter" that comes afterwards sounds only slightly less fake.

Good game, good combat system (hot swapping party members!), interesting party members (Wakka, Lulu, Kimahri) and environments (Mt Gagazet, the Al-Bhed desert, ZANARKAND :rock, Luca), one of the best mini-games ever in FF series (Blitzball).

Should've ended your post here :P

I left off at Besaid last night, gonna try and get to the first battle with Seymour, but I'll probably end up stopping at Guadosalam.

His celestial is easy to get too. Once you get Nimrook on net Blitz Ball is stupidly easy and broken. Just play until Nimrook he has one game left on his contract, save, then keep playing against his team and reloading until he goes free agent. It doesn't take long.

i really don't see what's bad about the game,you can make an argument about the random battle being stupid with all the match up stuff (OMG IT'S A FLAN QUICK USE MAGIC,OMG IT FLIES QUICK WAKKA GO WAKKA) but ultimately does that make such a huge difference from the classic "attack until everyone's dead" ?

someone might says "but the dungeon are linear!" to which i reply "who cares? not me!"

bosses are fantastic,the fight with the dragon on top of the plane requires you to make use of your ability to move the ship,similiar one of the boss place your character on a board,if your character are all grouped together they all get hit by his counterattack,if you separate them you are wasting turns and later on the boss just decide to regroup all your guy again,yunalesca is also one of the nastiest boss and she doesn't get hard because she suddenly decide to murder you on the spot but because she puts you in a hard place

music would be a matter of personal taste,i'm kinda neutral about it,it's no FF7 but it's not bad then you have the story and the character which i personaly liked

Title: Re: Final Fantasy X Thread of Obnoxious Laughter and Blitzball Blues
Post by: Raban on January 23, 2010, 02:20:14 PM
I don't dislike FFX, it's just boring. I have a feeling when I try to play any other FF I'm going to feel the same way. All the characters are boring and stupid and I don't care for them. The only character I really like is Jecht.

I love the music in the game, as well as the art, and the battle system is still as perfect as ever but the story/characters are boring as fuck.

I don't have a tolerance for animu bullshit like I used to. Going from the greatness that is Mass Effect to something like Final Fantasy is like going from eating a bowl of ice cream to eating a bowl of frozen dog shit.
