CT is by no means the best RPG. You all are the freaks. CT is CRAP!!!!!!

Now, the nice way to say it would be to explain just why you, of all people in the universe, feels so strongly against a certain game. Otherwise this thread will turn into flaming, which will cause the moderators trouble, which will cause me to exhale with feeling (also known as a sigh), which is generally a bad thing, if you consider the uptime of this board a good thing.

Dungeon Seige
Neverwinter Nights

I never meant to incense Qhimm.

I can understand your hate for CT, since you have been exposed to better RPGs released after it, before being released to such a good game. But as one of many who was exposed to CT in it's prime, I'd have to say its more of a classic RPG. It's not the best, but it's still a great classic.

Tactic: Out of curiousity (sp) how do you get a level 100 Shiva when your characters are only at level 8 without cheating?

Well, that's easy. When you're at the dollet tower mission, kill off Squall and Zell using Seifer. From there.... you know what to do    Pummel down galbadian soldiers till your Seifer reaches LV60 (while Zell and Squall are asleep    ) and your GFs should reach LV100. By that time I have spent around 5 solid hours, and laughed all my way through Disc 1. (With abilities like STR +20%/40% Zell can achieve 1000++ damage per hit at his lowest LVL   )

Thanks Tactic. Though the link won't work because the site makes you be signed up for it... That stratgy though is still Rickish (see previous quote for definition) due to the amount of time it takes...

Darkness:  Yes, I am looking forward to FFXI and NeverWinter Nights.

I'm looking forward to FFVI for the PS. They didn't have it in Game last time I went there so I'll hopefully get it on saturday. If only they'd improved the graphics though, I get really bored of games with bad graphics.

[Darkness]

eerrr..... just get the NTSC and play it on epsxe

FF6 PSX is in ps stalls everywhere. I'm seen the cinematics, but the game hs no diffrence from the SNES version, except for the cinematics.

[Aaron]

If you wanna play FF6 on your PC, get the SNES version.  You can download the movies off Kazaa.

[eerrrr]

Well my PS is modded, so I can play imported games on it anyway. I heard that the UK version of FF6 has more FMVs than the US version, like actually during the game instead of just at the beginning and end.
Too late to change my mind!!! Anyway, it's only £9.99

[Aaron]

US and Japanese versions of FF6 all had 3 movies.  One at the beginning, one at the end, and one at the opera I think.

FF5 only has 2 movies though.

[Edit] P.S. The Opera movie is just some scenes that appeared in both the other movies with the opera music playing in the background.

Very well said. Very well said, indeed.

Actually, there is another difference.  They've slightly changed the battle transitions to take advantage of the PSX's (relatively compared to the SNES) advanced framebuffer abilities.  If you're thinking "swirly screen", well, they did that for FF5, but in FF6, they did a transition similar to the one in FF8 (as in being not-so-swirly.)

[Aaron]

The new battle swirls are impressive... but they're slow!  And the battles are slow at loading too.  And the MENU is surprisingly slow at loading.

[eerrrr]

I went on the Square Playonline thing and looked at the flash FF6 thing.  I noticed the grapihcs were *slightly* improved; the images are a bit clearer, a new sprint thing is added, text grammer is updated or something, and a couple other things. So, yeah, the PS version has been improved over the SNES version.

I don't understand why such and old game can be so slow on the PS. If it's about the code, why didn't they change it slightly? I hate it when game makers get lazy like that.
Have you heard about Halo? Apparently the long-awaited game was spoiled by the fact that a lot of the rooms were copied and pasted throughout the game, even all the monsters and stuff were positioned in the same place, another lazy job. That's what my friend said anyway, I'll find out during easter when he gets an Xbox.
