MemberAnyone heard of this game? It’s awesome…the story is huge and thereare so many unexpected events you just never get bored of it. An awesome RPG with over 80 hours of gameplay…so eh anyone finished it yet? By the way it’s for Gamecube and has two disks because it’s so big. I got to disk two yesterday :). The fighting is awesome and everything else too. I can’t say anything bad about this game…nothing. So anyone played it…and comments?

KeymasterI have a Gamecube and I bought this game since I love RPG games and this was one of Gamecube’s first true RPG’s. It’s a really great game. I really liked the humor in it and the length of the game. It has good replay value because of side quests. Great game. Now I’m playing Metroid Prime 2. Hehe. Us guys and our games. I don’t think I’ll ever outgrow it. So what? I said it. *sticks tongue out* hehe

Hey now, it’s not just guys that are like that! I really got into the whole Final Fantasy series, almost 25 with 2 kids but I still manage to find time for my games!:D
Anyway, back on topic… is this similar to Final Fantasy at all, as far as the battle system, levels, story, etc? It sounds interesting, especially since Nintendo hasn’t really had any decent RPG’s since the Super Nintendo days.

KeymasterOh yeah amy I know that but it’s pretty rare to see a girl gamer or a girl that won’t think a guy is immature for playing games. heh. As to your question, it’s not similar to Final Fantasy games since really no RPG’s can beat that but this is still a really good game. The fighting system is different. It isn’t turn based, you actually control the character when going into battle. I would recommend this game to anyone with a Gamecube and loves RPG’s. It has a really good sense of humor too.
Here’s a link to a review that can answer all your questions.

MemberIt’s an awesome game. I pre-ordered it and got the Art Book and the mini poster thing.
The game isn’t like Final Fantasy at all. It’s based on Namco’s Linear Motion System (or something like that). Well, I’ve heard that the story is kinda like FFX, but I’ve never played that one.
I finished it in about 2 or 3 days. Sidequests took only a few more days. My only problem is that the normal difficulty is really easy. Now Mania, that’s where it’s at!

MemberHah. The Chosen and all her sicknesses…why can’t Zelos be sick ;)? Nobody would care for him…lol. Hurricane…2-3 DAYS? 24*3=72(right?)!!! Now, now you cheated! 80 hours of gameplay. Anyway my brothers played 120 hours….I’m farther than him with 45 (and a higher level too). So em what do you guys think of the Katz? They’re like…map-makers. Ahem. I actually don’t use them…I like to explore. It took me like an hour to find that damned Linkite Tree!!! I’m in the Latheon George (or something like that) to find the Mana Leaf Herb for the Chosen’s sickness. It annoys me though that it’s so obvious that Lloyd likes Colette and she likes him but the creators didn’t put anything but that in there. Humor? Oh yes…I love the little clips…they’re so funny! The first day I played the game when Raine spanked Lloyd/Genis I was pretty much falling over laughing. I could go on all day about the game but…

Half-elves rule. Desians need to get their butts kicked. Kratos needs to take a side. The Chosen has to stop getting sick. The Pope needs to return from hiding so I can kill him. The storyteller should get me the Mana Leaf Herb. People should stop turning into Angels. And eh the Great Seed shouldn’t have turned into…that THING. It was an awesome clip though…November 24, 2004 at 12:28 am #105717Hurricane22491
MemberActually, Zelos is pretty cool. If you don’t like him, choose him at the Flanoir scene and you get a whole big story on his background. Makes you appreciate him a lot more. I like him way better than Colette.
And yeah, I beat the whole game (including all possible sidequests available to me) in less than 60 hours.

MemberI didn’t say I don’t like Zelos. I said the rest of the people wouldn’t care if he was sick. I just went into the Tower of Salvation to get to Derris-Kharlan. It was much fun to be able to kick some serious Kratos butt (Twin Tiger Blade!!!!). Less than 60 hours eh? Well that’s where I’m headed…47ish now and in the Holy City.

Now all I need is some Mithos Ygrdasill butt kicking…not to mention teh Pope! Ehm by the way….what Flanoir scene? My favorite figher: Lloyd…but Sheena gets pretty intense with those summon spirits *screams and hides*. That plant…in the cave was dead within 2 minutes. Sheen used Ice summon. Nothing further.November 24, 2004 at 3:29 am #105718Hurricane22491
Member*Spoilers!*
After Altessa gets hurt, you go to Flanoir to get a doctor. Then the people come to knock at your door. You know? *end spoilers*
I don’t know if you’re that far yet, but if you’re not, you’re definitely close.
