I shall have to ask my roomie about this. I don't often have the patience to drill through the FF games.

Considering there's only about four good ones, I don't blame you.

Lightning has more balls than Hope.

(Dear god, I've missed just how good FF games can be. Chapter Nine at the moment, and still loving it severely)

I'm only on Chapter 4 I believe, so I'm reserving judgment for now. As with most FF games I have to hope that the dumb anime cliches are outweighed by good gameplay and good stories/characters. This only happens about 30% of the time, so we'll see...

booster17 March 13 2010, 15:47:26 UTC

IMHO, this is part of that 30% this time. Characters are asking questions that I'm actually also asking and not brushing them away for a later moment, I figured out part of the plot before the reveal (and did a fist-pump of I-Knew-It!) and the gameplay is solid enough by this point that over half my deaths are easily the results of my fucking up the parigidm shifts.

Okay, so the other half are due to Hope messing up the healing, but I think you've covered their general usefulness earlier.

That's ridiculous. Boys aren't named Hope. Use your brain!

I must object. It's "without further ado", as in "much ado about nothing." Not adieu, people, because that would mean "farewell" in frog-tongue.

I mean, Jeez. Anyone could of told you that.

m_mcgregor March 13 2010, 17:46:59 UTC

Your so right. Thanks four the heads up.

Happy to be off help. I didnt think youd except it so easyly. Its sometimes hard to now witch word to use for best affect, after all.

m_mcgregor March 13 2010, 18:52:38 UTC

I don't think it's that hard, per say. You just half to no the write way too speak. For all intensive purposes, all that matters is what you say, knot how you say it. Still, I'm always happy to except help from udders.
