I shipped my Final Fantasy cartridge to someone and they burned a "patched" version of the game into it. All the bugs are fixed, the monster names are corrected to the Japanese equivalent, and some minor graphical improvements are present.<br /><br />So anyway, I'm trying a play-through of Monk, Thief, Red Mage, White Mage, having fun so far.Raifieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478524519453417677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-91807839974403042382014-03-25T17:35:52.321-07:002014-03-25T17:35:52.321-07:00Sorry for not responding earlier.

I figure if I put in 2 hours each day this week (my goal), I'll get through Final Fantasy by the weekend. I really need to catch up. I only played through 11 games in the year I've been doing this. Definitely won't get very far at that pace.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-79474577297308947232013-02-03T11:28:49.251-08:002013-02-03T11:28:49.251-08:00I hope you can post again soon.I hope you can post again soon.Giauzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546859151525161696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-40887514708734424452013-01-23T18:38:51.614-08:002013-01-23T18:38:51.614-08:00Well, you can still use some items for spell effec...Well, you can still use some items for spell effects.

Looks like the only ones I need to be on the lookout for are weapons, which don't actually attack based on elemental weakness, and spells that don't work at all. I never really looked it up before, looks like some of these are fixed in later versions.<br /><br />Info from here: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Bugs_and_Glitches<br /><br />Spell issues:<br /> Tmpr - Does not work at all.<br /> Sabr - Does not work at all.<br /> Xfer - Does not work unless the target is the party.<br /> Lock - Always misses.<br /> Lok2 - Instead of decreasing Enemy Evade% by 20, increases Evade by 20.<br /> Hel2 - Works outside of battle as designed, works like Hel3 in battle. <br /><br />Weapon issues:<br /> Were Sword - Does not inflict more damage on Were-creatures.<br /> Rune Sword - Does not inflict more damage on magic-using or supernatural creatures.<br /> Dragon Sword - Does not inflict more damage on Dragon and dragon-kin creatures.<br /> Coral Sword - Does not inflict more damage on sea creatures.<br /> Giant Sword - Does not inflict more damage on Giants/Ogres or their kin.<br /> Flame Sword - Does not inflict more damage on Fire-weak, undead, or regenerative creatures.<br /> Ice Sword - Does not inflict more damage on Ice-weak creatures.<br /> Sun Sword - Does not inflict more damage on undead creatures.<br /> Light Axe - Does not inflict more damage on undead creatures.<br /> Xcaliber - Does not inflict more damage on every creature-type and elemental weakness.

Getting through only 12 games in a year is a paltry sum that will definitely put me at a disadvantage for getting through these games if it keeps up.

I really can't find anyone that calls them RPGs, and they definitely seem to have more of a platformer feel, but I'll add them to the list to check out.

It has RPG elements (like talking with NPCs, lot of main and side quests - called events in game, Ability Points, various weapons and pants that change your stats (dash pant, jump pant for example), graphis is made in SNES style and little pigs are cute and charming, there are also puzzle and exploration elements like in Legend of Zelda games. It take around 10 hour to finish game and game mechanic is very enjoyable. <br /><br />I did review of Tomba! (PSN version) on GoodGameHR (croatian videogaming portal).<br /><br />Final score is 9 of 10 and gameplay got 10, graphic is 7 and replay value is 8. My final words in review are:<br /><br />Although it has its flaws, Tomba with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is the best 2D platformer-adventure game on PlayStation. If you are a fan of 2D games, SNESlike graphics and RPGs then you should not miss the chance to play this interesting game.<br /><br />You can find review here: http://www.goodgame.hr/review/tombi/ - for understanding use google translate ;)<br /><br />Btw there was Tomba 2!: Evil Swine Return, it was 2D /3D hybrid game and in my opinion is lacking the charm of first game and I was disapointed in it. You can also buy it on PSN.<br /><br />I hope that you will reconsider to play Tomba! and Tomba 2! :)<br /><br /><br />mpxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366744101617096955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-85510658871305132192012-12-14T16:53:10.201-08:002012-12-14T16:53:10.201-08:00No worries, I understand about stressful times.

I'll finish up Final Fantasy by the end of the year, but work has been extra busy. It was supposed to slow down. I get the last full week of December off though, so there's that at least.<br /><br />Dr. Sparkle seems to have enjoyed Phantasy Star 2 about as much as I did. I just remembered the recommendation to watch Generation 16. I like the Chron series' style over this (mainly the flow), but it does give additional information. It also looks like he's ahead of Chronsega because he's only focused on the Mega Drive/Genesis.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-29867596345674476222012-12-02T21:44:37.570-08:002012-12-02T21:44:37.570-08:00The newest Chronsega also covers Phantasy Star 2. ...The newest Chronsega also covers Phantasy Star 2.
