    running through FF VIII again i'm amazed at how much easier i'm finding it, bosses i remember repeatedly kicking my ass are giving me no trouble at all now

    as much as i would like to think it;s just because i am now x10 more leet at gaming than my 12 year old self it probably has a lot more to do with the fact 12 year old me found the junction tutorials absolutly incomprehensible

    if you understand how they work though it makes the game a little take-the-piss-easy

    like, "all my chars have HP in excess of 2000 and the boss can only deal damage of 160 at a time assuming i don't use protect spells" easy

    i think the difficulty curve will catch up to me eventually though and i'm looking forward to it, it's another FF i never completed because of a near end game boss i couldnt get past because i never learned how any of the junction stuff worked...

    I feel like I should retry FFX because 15-year-old me didn't understand the whole ...sphere system thing (I forgot what it's called), so maybe I'll get it now.

    I'm betting I won't but it's worth a shot.

    the sphere grid ain't hard

    it gives you the illusion of a lot of choice and complexity but in reality unless you find craploads of key spheres lying around (i never do) you aren't going to have that many paths to choose from

    it's mostly a linear progession for each char with a handfull of forks in the road

    That's why you play the International version if you can get a hold of it. Open Sphere Grid is best Sphere Grid.

    I'm having the same thing in FFVI. Nothing is any trouble.

    Everything dies to the same recipe too: Celes, use runic. Edgar use drill, Sabin use aurabolt, Locke, you stand there. Don't hurt yourself.

    I knew this when I played it the first time

    I also discovered vanish/doom

    I did too, I just didn't use runic as constantly.

    I also knew of vanish/doom my first time through.

    Atma: easiest huge boss ever. Gonna beat the game without using that trick this time.

    I'm mostly just amused that Locke is so useless. I was fighting a boss somewhere in the magitek facility (can't remember which one, I think it was Shiva) where they had nothing to steal and striking it caused it to retort with a spell. So Locke was literally useless. It was best to have him hang out doing nothing while Celes absorbed the attacks and Sabin and Edgar destroyed the boss.

    @echo @tehsloth I get a similar error...

    no such file to load -- bundler.

    Here is the boot.rb file:
    require 'rubygems'
    
    # Set up gems listed in the Gemfile.
    ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] ||= File.expand_path('../../Gemfile', __FILE__)
    
    require 'bundler' if File.exists?(ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'])
    bundler.setup :default
    


    Before the change Echo suggested, it looked like this:
    require 'rubygems'
    
    # Set up gems listed in the Gemfile.
    ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] ||= File.expand_path('../../Gemfile', __FILE__)
    
    require 'bundler/setup' if File.exists?(ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'])

    Even Lil' Houn never found FF6 hard; I honestly don't think it's supposed to be. Hell, I remember my C party in the final area was levels 30-20 and still managed to squeak through. And I think it was, like, Strago, Gau, and Umaro.

    the secret to FF8 so far is

    >Learn HP-J
    >Junction "Life" magic to HP
    >Enjoy your 70% HP boost

    it's a little game breaking since the games makers can't assume everyone has done that, so all the fights are scaled to a difficulty that assumes you have 70% less health than you actually do

    Also, on ff6, after you have relm go to the veldt, have gau jump, wait a few fights and have your combat set up so everyone has their actions in and relm will use sketch after you kill all the monsters. If gau comes back from jumping relm will sketch him and the game will get MESSED UP. You can get all sorts of weird sprite glitches or 256 of every item in the game or wipe the data on your cart.

    ffvi is shit easy if you abuse like, anything. I've played through a hack to adjust the difficulty and I mostly enjoyed it, except some of the normal mobs too spongy and some of the boss fights made me actually glad I had bought 60 phoenix downs.

    Yeah I mostly just decided not to exploit any glitches or bugs. So it should be pretty easy with like, maybe two exceptions.

    The secret to FF8.

    Play the card game a shit ton, its actually fun. So do it.

    Use the cards to get the best sword in the game before going on your first mission.

    Junction your best spell to str. Limit break everything.

    Later. Junction to speed. Limit break everything multiple times before they get to move.

    Use meltdown. It lowers physical def to 1.
    In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phoney God's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

    Let me put it this way.

    It won't.

    Also if you really want to break it, use diablos no-exp.

    FF8 is extremely easy if you don't level up. Ever.

    why? does it scale enemies strength to your level?

    FF games dont usually do that do they?
    Enemies become more difficult the more levels you have.

    Whereas your characters scale almost completely off the things you have junctioned.
    So levelling only makes the game harder.

    PS every time a enemy has a new spell. draw 100 of it. Cerebus notably has triple. Which when junctioned to your speed gives you 5-6 turns for every one of theirs.

    whelp

    i'm glad someone told me this, so basically do not grind

    at all

    i like that

    i did also notice that the more of a spell you have the higher a stats boost you get for junctioning it to a stat

    You can do this with a vanished enemy too. It has to do with a dangling pointer, if I recall correctly. Basically the game tries to sketch it but because of bad programming it ends up executing code at memory addresses that don't hold code and are determined by whatever's gone on up to that point.

    So it can give you 256 of everything or it can wipe your save games or turn people into random shit. I had it happen to me on the Floating Continent once, Relm sketched and a ninja vanished immediately prior to it.

    It's fairly linear for most of the game, but then opens up later. The first role per character is pretty concrete, after that it's up to you. It really opens up when you start dealing with the Collisseum, that's where you get all those spheres that let you fill in the empty nodes.

    oh don't get me wrong i'm not judging you at all

    the first few times i played FFX i was utterly confused by it and sort of just winged it and guessed my way through, then i noticed that there wasn't actually a lot of choices for me to make in there and the charicters always ended up more or less the same

    like i said it's a system that gives the illusion of complexity but actually isn't mostly FFX is just a grind to get as many sphere levels as you can to get decently far along the path

    I feel as though the bible in and of itself is worth a read devoid of all the religious contexts surrounding it.

    OUT

    FOR

    DELIVERY

    skippydumptruck Hey! How'd your wife's interviews go?

    @visiblehowl

    had 3 in pdx, 2 in chi

    pdx ended up being too cheap, so I think job's out of the running

    chi hasn't called back so we're guessing that's no go too

    maybe stuck in tx for the summer : (

    running through FF VIII again i'm amazed at how much easier i'm finding it, bosses i remember repeatedly kicking my ass are giving me no trouble at all now

    as much as i would like to think it;s just because i am now x10 more leet at gaming than my 12 year old self it probably has a lot more to do with the fact 12 year old me found the junction tutorials absolutly incomprehensible

    if you understand how they work though it makes the game a little take-the-piss-easy

    like, "all my chars have HP in excess of 2000 and the boss can only deal damage of 160 at a time assuming i don't use protect spells" easy

    i think the difficulty curve will catch up to me eventually though and i'm looking forward to it, it's another FF i never completed because of a near end game boss i couldnt get past because i never learned how any of the junction stuff worked...
    Let me put it this way.

    It won't.

    Also if you really want to break it, use diablos no-exp.

    ohhhh

    what does that do?

    FF8 is extremely easy if you don't level up. Ever.

    why? does it scale enemies strength to your level?

    FF games dont usually do that do they?
    Enemies become more difficult the more levels you have.

    Whereas your characters scale almost completely off the things you have junctioned.
    So levelling only makes the game harder.

    PS every time a enemy has a new spell. draw 100 of it. Cerebus notably has triple. Which when junctioned to your speed gives you 5-6 turns for every one of theirs.

    whelp

    i'm glad someone told me this, so basically do not grind

    at all

    i like that

    i did also notice that the more of a spell you have the higher a stats boost you get for junctioning it to a stat

    Oh no. You misunderstand. You'll be grinding, a lot. Just not levels. Have fun drawing magic!

    (Maybe that was a little too much snark.)

    oh don't worry

    i got that already -_-
