FF XII/17 hours/PS2

Wow, around the same. Why was FF XII so addictive? xD

I bought it for November break (first week of November, no school, hehe), I mean the game couldn't come out at a better time! I know I was glad to see some change in the FF series. I really enjoyed the battle system with the gambits and all. Everything seemed ''big'' in this game. I loved it, and even though it took a full week to finish the main story, I didn't even complete 70% of the game!!! Then school restarted, etc. etc.

:(



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

It's the battle system and lvl ups...

Nothing beats roaming the plains with a trusty firearm and some status spells (which, unlike most other FF games, help you a lot, like with those huge birds in the estersands, Oil 'em up, shoot 'em down =P.. or was it the dinosaurs.. nvm lol)

I didn't like the story, but the execution was top notch in every other aspect.

Edit: Ugh.. I remember..! it's the birds I was talking about. I had Balthier with an Altair... or a Fomalhaut... load up some fire-elemenatal ammo.. oil on the bird... have fun :P

Otherwise, they could become a serious threat, especially when you're low leveled and they come to you in packs.

 



I recall playing 8 hrs for Smash Brothers and on a separate occasion Rock Band, both with friends. I lost my voice in Rock Band, and Smash Brothers hurt my hand. But we had some good times.

Man, my Gambits were so good, I took on the higher monster hunting jobs (can't remember the name of them) at low levels and never got a game over. Remember the one in the snow mountain? I took him out at Lv. 70 if I remember correctly!

In fact, the game was so easy because of them! Just get the perfect Heal, Revive (and/or Potions) combo on your best character(s) + Haste and all those good status effect spells, and you're sure to never get a game over!

 

Actually, the day Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out was probably the longest time frame I've played straight. Had beer, root beer, coca-cola, chips, etc. and tons of friends at my house, we just didn't stop playing! It was a blast!
