That's ridiculous AJ, I love it.

That reminds me of one time when I was trying to kill the Magi Master at the top of the Fanatics Tower in FFVI. Those who have played the game know that the Magi Master will cast Ultima on death, and it will pretty much kill anyone unless your HP is fully maxed out or you have Life 3 setup. But I had already gotten Phoenix, so I knew I was set. I made it all the way up the tower, got to the boss, and cast Berserk on him, so that he would go from a nasty spellcaster to a wimpy melee guy. Then I opened up my magic menu to cast Life 3.

Crap.

I had forgotten to make sure that I had learned Life 3 on my characters. I looked at my options and decided that I wasn't willing to redo the entire tower; I'd rather beat him now. Cue a long period of casting Osmose and Rasp to drain his mana, so that once he hits 0 MP I can kill him and he won't be able to cast Ultima.

As it turns out, in FFVI, if an enemy runs out of either HP or MP they die.

So far so good. hasn't let me down yet!

Edit: No one has posted since so I am just editing this one. Just got to what appears to be a good story section. But I'll have to see how things go 8 hours from now since I've got to work.

I am pretty over leveled, I think. Last boss-ish demon I faced was lvl28. I now lvl42... sooo... woops. Needless to say, I steamroll over everything. I wish hard mode were unlocked before first playthrough. Or perhaps like in newer Tales of games where you can unlock higher difficulties just by playing and moving up a difficulty whenever you get the option.

Phantasy Star IV.

My lord is this game good. Miles ahead of any other title in the series.

Just got the guy that looks like a bird. About to enter a basement/dungeon.

What's funny is that the game has made several references to Phantasy Star I & II, but III is ignored completely. Shoulda seen that coming, actually.

Prepping for the final assault in FFV. I'm gonna need lots of Elixirs, as using 500HP potions to heal the final bosses 1500 hp worth of damage across all of my party just won;t cut it.

Elixirs cost 50000 gil. The best source of money atm is a common steal (reflect ring) worth 10000. To get another 20 elixirs then, I'm gonna need 100 reflect rings.


Lets get to this...

Clearly you're mistaken, Zelda is an Elf Simulator.

And this is why we kicked Dave out of the moderation team.
