Oh! I will go download it right now.. I never completed 8, the junction system turned me off..

I thought it was annoying I had to spend ages in combat stacking up magic to buff my gear. Is it really nescessary? (or is there a better way :P?)

Play Triple Triad, it allows you access to pretty much all the best items in the game. 

Get the Item to Magic skills from GF's

Start owning xD

This method can net you 100 Tornado's, Water's, -Ga level magics, Meteor, Double, Triple, Auras, Meltdown, Pain. You name it. 

In the first 10 hours of the game, you'll become a beast for the rest of the game. 

That sounds totally imbalanced to me :P

 

I WILL exploit it, thanks for the tip =D

It's is extremely inbalanced, even more if you consider the fact that I had the Lionheart for Squall before even reaching Galbadia Garden XD

Now? No.

In the future? Probably, don't care much bout FF8 but that was the one with the Triple Triad minigame right? That game was fun as hell. Don't know why SE doesn't release a PSN version of just that game with expanded tiles to cover the entire FF universe.

I suggest you take a look at that. Pretty much is Triple Triad overhauled to everything FF, just like you suggested ;) I've been playing this for quite some years now. 

Nice... i'll have to check that out.

I'd still like a proffesional version... just because there'd be an Ai or if there is one in that it'd be better... plus it feels a bit wrong for them to not be making money of their great idea.


Although not as applicable in Triple Triad I like playing vs AI's a lot because it allows you to try ridiculious stuff that would get you killed vs real players.

Yeah, pretty much that's the main gripe that I got against Triple Triad Extreme, you can only play it against other human players, unless they added some form of A.I in the past few versions.

Probably S-E could profit from the idea, but I just don't see them even bothering, which is really sad. It had massive potential, much more than the needlesly complex Tetra Master

Ah, it will be a nice breeze after just completing FFIV on DS (that game is just too hard : / )

 

I love when you have the option to make your party imba early on, I hate it when I want to progress the story I have to grind 2 hours to beat some stupidly hard boss <.<

I agree, but pretty much every FF in existance has a way to get Imbalanced in the early stages of the game, you just have to know how. 

I haven't played FFIV on the DS, but I have played the FFIV JP fan translated version for SNES, which pretty much is the hardest FF to this date (haven't played FFXIII to see if the difficulty praises are true), but even it had some way to be imbalanced from the start (Heck, Cecil himself is pretty imbalanced with his Dark Knight Powers)

It's funny too... I mean, it'd take probably all of 5 programmers, you could retail it for 10 dollars and probably sell a pretty decent amount more then enough to make profit.

Could of even put it on all 3 consoles and both handhelds if they wanted.   Ah well.

I guess so, but I didn't know how and I didn't want to resort to a guide (even though I died for the first time in the first cave after 20? minutes of play lol ;))

 

But you're right I remember it being easy in some of the other FF's aswell, and it's not like you have to exploit it if you don't want to which makes it a nice option imo.

I'll get it just before half term, in the mean time need to finish up 6 & 7

The problem is that S-E never saw the potential in any of their mini-games, which is trully a shame. They had some that had massive potential, instead, the only one they explored was the snowboard mini-game from FF7, for cellphones only >_< 

Their decisions baffle me sometimes.

Yet space invader games and yet another tower defense game is somehow right up their ally.  Oh SE.

Those are also on my list on biggest "WTF S-E?" complaints. Seriously, one would imagine that a large VG corporation like S-E would have a good enough PR team to scout for fan preferences, instead of just going random like that.
