himu what the heck are you saying? you can buy the part easily enough,it's just that there is no reason to upgrade any of your stuff besides getting some extra attack power on your weapon

and they are also dropped for free by tortoise
you also don't need to upgrade your weapon all the way up

Yes, if it's in Pulse there's a teleport. THe last teleport is right before you leave Pulse.

btw, Teajin's Tower is the only proper dungeon in the game. Between the marks and that dungeon, chapter 11 was definitely the best chapter. Though it peters out after the tower.

you're a noob if you dont understand how FFX12 works, the game was designed for 5 year olds or something.

If 12 remotely played like 13, it would be an amazing game.

Well, aside from the shitty "anybody can equip everything, cast everything, be everything" part

you can do the same thing in FF13.

I didnt know Hope could equip Lionheart sword... FF13 chars are more unique than 12's were. You knew who had their strengths and weaknesses, and you formed your team from there.

In 12, you could make an ultimate super team that spammed Ultima, equipped Ultima Spears (or whatever the fuck) with pussy chars like Vaan and Penelo. wtf?

sandbox games aren't big empty fields and the genre has always been big empty fields. the only difference is the viewpoint difference and the fact that now you can see monsters on the field. big whoop.

Then don't do it. I never understood why this is so hard for gamers who complain about that shit. The only reason the characters are all the same to you is because you make them all the same yourself. In any case, the characters in 12 do have stat differences.

demi · « **Reply #433 on:** May 16, 2011, 06:17:50 PM »

Himu, theres no point arguing. FF12 was a weak game. The International ver apparently fixes it to a half-decent attempt now, nay, to what it should have been.

Similarly, 13-2 will fix what people had issue with in 13 to what could be the best way it should have been played.

nothing wrong with XIII ending

at least it didn't make people go around with any weird theory about how the main character is really dead and the bad guy didn't turn to have any magic tattoo or some shit like that

No, it's shit. It's the complete definition of a deus ex machina, literally, since God is actually involved.

The speech during the final boss before when the party turns into monsters is one of, if not THE most embarrassing moment in a game full of embarrassing moments.

At that moment, I realized,"welp i'm too old for this shit"

Borys did everything in FF12. He is clearly a better gamer than you. And his platinum will reflect that.

yeah i guess if he didn't die of boredom fighting that hour long mark he sure can survive grinding turtles over and over.....

you know i never finished FF12,i just didn't have any interess at all,all i remember is that for some weird reason the final dungeon had warps and the each room you could warp too looked the same and oh god it was horrible horrible horrible

Hey Borys, how's grindan for dem trapz going

I gave up, couldn't even be bothered getting 1 lol, even with connoisseurs catalogue equipped. It's like that 1% spear drop chest in FFXII except you've got to do it over and over. Worst post game ever

Fortus · « **Reply #444 on:** May 19, 2011, 10:57:00 AM »

Grinding traps alone wouldn't be so bad but you also need a huge sum of money both for multiplier components and dark matters. Ending wasn't too bad but it left some odd questions i.e. why did Fang and Vanille turn into crystal if they didn't destroy Cocoon the first time if that was their focus; which God was Barthandelus trying to bring back- the Supreme Creator or the Creator of Cocoon etc etc

Also Borys didn't do everything in XII...he never finished the Fishing quests

magus · « **Reply #445 on:** May 19, 2011, 12:22:19 PM »

there was fishing in FF12?

I grinded for 6 traps and it is the worst thing I ever done in gaming.

magus · « **Reply #448 on:** May 19, 2011, 03:25:09 PM »

i read that if you disassemble vanille or fang ultimate weapon,you get 3 trap out of it so you don't really need 6

of course upgrading vanille/fang ultimate weapon to a point where disassembling it gives you 3 trap is still a huge pain in the ass

after all your character are maxed,killing a turtle quickly is pretty easy,it's still incredibly boring and one of the item you need (dark matter) it's dropped by a super turtle that is a pain in the ass to kill

iconoclast · « **Reply #452 on:** May 27, 2011, 03:03:18 PM »

By the time you get all the traps and dark matter and such, you'll probably have enough gil to upgrade everything anyway. And even if you don't, I think you can sell everything you've already upgraded to get more money. I'm pretty sure that's what I did, but I haven't played this since it came out so I don't remember much.

In a feature story published today in Sweden, the founders of GRIN lay their studio's precipitous demise at Square Enix's feet, saying the publisher reneged on payments during the development of a Final Fantasy game and saddled them with ridiculous requirements as the project went sour.
This is according a story (translated via Google) published today by Aftonbladet, an often provocative tabloid but, with 1.2 million readers, a newspaper of record for Sweden. In direct quotes, co-founders Ulf and Bo Andersson allege that Square Enix didn't pay a cent on a roughly $20 million (USD) contract for "Fortress," (concept art pictured) the code name for a Final Fantasy spinoff that diverged from the series' JRPG roots. The Anderssons say they met all project milestones up to the company's August 2009 bankruptcy.

As the relationship deteriorated, the Anderssons say Square Enix sent them a strange demand: Fax us the game's code, including the project's music files. "It is as silly as it sounds," Bo Andersson said (Google translation.) "It is an impossible requirement, you can not send ASCII or binary codes on the fax. It is backward. Really distinguished mentally-challenged. It was almost a criminal activity."

Square Enix then said GRIN had not been sending its milestone work to the right department, that it should have been filed with the publisher's legal division, an unusual requirement. Square Enix also started complaining that they didn't like the game's Nordic style, even though they'd asked for that at the outset, and is presumably why they went to GRIN in the first place.

Feeling like they'd been set up to fail, GRIN sent Square Enix an image taken from Final Fantasy XII saying it was a production shot from "Fortress." The Anderssons say Square Enix replied "It does not look like Final Fantasy."

"Then we realized that whatever we do ... they have decided," Bo Andersson said. (Google translation).

The remainder of the story chart's GRIN's rise and fall and the Anderssons' resulting debts and disappointment, especially in light of successful Swedish developers such as DICE (Battlefield) and Markus Persson, the creator of the indie hit Minecraft. Again, it's a Google translation, but the piece is reasonably straightforward and readable.

"We wanted to come in and revolutionize Final Fantasy, which is exactly what they need," said Andersson. "The latest version sucks of course."
