The one thing about FFIV on the DS is that the bosses are extremely difficult especially for someone new to the games, out of about 12 bosses I've faced so far it has taken me a combined 37 tries to beat all of them. yes I kept track.

ha yea they are hard, though after loosing like 6-7 times to one boss i spent time leveling up in the level and accidently leveled up too much and the next few levels/bosses were too easy. 

but thats always fixed by rushing through the next parts with little fighting and just grabbing chests of course, and then its back to a fun challenging game

Really the best way to beat each boss is through strategy, not leveling. Status effects are very potent!

The more you know!

yea i know, but i wanted this move of one character, and the heal all move of toad or something and kind of got a few too many levels up.

 

wait i'm thinking of chrono trigger and not ff4.

Why don't you just start with the 1st one and go in order? That's what I did, and that's what people who played the original FF did, why not just do that?

I would do that but I am new to the rpg genre so I will start with:

 

Super Mario Rpg the Secret of Mana and then Chrono Trigger.It seems I won`t be playing FF games for awhile :P

I agree with you sir.

 



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

Great choice sir.  Those are 3 of the best from the golden age, and that's a great order.

I'm in an internship right now on film curating, and we're curating a film show, and it's been making me think a lot about "game curating."  I think Super Mario RPG, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, FF6, would be the perfect RPG festival.

Speaking of which, I've got my own backlog to work on.  Time for me to get off the computer and hop back into Paper Mario!

I envy you, for the fact that you get to play those games for the first time, I did it once but you never get to play games like those the first time ever again.

 



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
