General Discussion / FFX question: the snowy mountain seymore battle.

« on: 2002-07-09 06:48:15 »

I don't have mighty guard

Can you cast shell, protect or anything?
If you can't you can use an item that casts shell.
Or just use Rikku's overdrive mix, to cast it on your party.

this guy wipes out my entire party in one move, even if their hp is perfect.  (and if by chance one is still alive he just kills him with his lance of atrophy.

Wait a second. Is lance of atrophy that attack that makes you get the zombie status?
If it is then equip some armour that has zombie ward. (Can't remember if it's available yet)

Hmm....I don't think I used any strategies for him.
The battle seemed pretty easy.

If you have plenty of money

Spoiler: show

Just go get the Aeon Yojimbo and pay him to do Zanmato

Have you tried casting Mighty Guard on your party? Kimhari should have it now.
Before he does his "huge attack", he usually casts dispel on your party I think.
When he does that, quickly switch to Yuna and use your Aeon to take the damage.

Expert grid has more forks. More paths to choose from, which intertwine to a greater degree than the default grid.

Oh, and stat maxing is cool. Maxed out strength on Tidus, Auron, and Yuna so far - meaning all the aeons' strength stats are maxed out too. Passado packs one mean punch, I tell you... 18 x 99,999... mmm....

Yeah, but you actually have less spheres in the new grid.
Which can turn out bad if you really want to max every single stat

The Magus Sisters are cool though it's pretty annoying when they decide to take a break. They did that once and I got slaughtered.

Qhimm's right, FFX PAL doesn't have the FFX : Another Story. I just checked it a while ago. You can however find a fansub on FFX : Another Story. I know it exists cause I have it

Personally, I think that FFX : AS is unlikely to be released in English cause it would be a waste of resources. IF and I really mean IF they decide to release FFX : AS in English, it will only be released together with "FFX : Yuna" & "FFX : Rikku" (again this is a big IF and a rather wishful IF)

However, FFX PAL is based on FFX International (FFX : I)
In other words you get to choose to use the FFX : I sphere grid
You will also get to fight the dark aeons.
Sadly, saves from FFX NTSC (US) can't be loaded into FFX PAL.

 It's nice to feel somewhat useful.

Does anyone know if Saint's been around recently?

I do
I'm still around, just a little busy playing FFX.
I check by everyday or 2, if you're interested to know.

Well yeah I am pretty sure 'bout it; because I have a friend from Imperial London who has just went back to KL, he bought himself a PS2 (His is original though) and he told me that it is possible to mod it. I've also got a few Penang contacts in my ICQ (my ex-schoolmates) who told me that it is possible to mod PS2 as well.

I don't think you quite get what I meant.
If you mean "modded" PS2 instead or "pirated" PS2 then you are right, we do have pre-modded PS2's here in KL as well.
The term "pirated" PS2 refers to a PS2 that was wholly created by a 3rd party and not Sony.
Mind you, "pirated" PS1's do exist in M'sia. They're about RM100 cheaper than the originals.

I don't understand the bit where you say about price.. I mean if it costs RM12 for a game (DVD), wouldn't you save more than buying an original DVD (Probably RM170 for new titles??<Conversion from UK pounds>)

I meant the price of the PS2, not the DVD's.

And a PS2 costs RM800 now (that's according to my Imperial friend heh   )

And he is right.

Yes we do have it in Penang, Saint. It costs around RM1300 (~USD 300)
But it has some mods, first is the lens (obviously...) <to play DVD> and a VG mod for the memory card as well lol  

Uhm, you sure about it?
Who would buy it if it costs just as much as the original?

Hmm... How much is a PS2 in Malaysia, in USD? I wonder if I could import it & play it... :wicked:

Also, how much is a Gamecube? Just curious...

We have no "pirated" PS2's in Malaysia, so it'll probably be more or less the same price.

Lol.

Let's just say the PC uses the brute force approach to everything.
"It can't do that yet? Let's just add more power to the chip"
PC makers just seem to care less about perfection.
They release broken games cause they know the can release patches.
They don't bother releasing proper drivers and proper hardware cause they know they can get the users to upgrade it.

In the case of the PS2, they've pretty much done all the optimization they can. Since the PS2 was meant to play games and nothing else (besides DVD's and CD's), everything in it is optimized to do just that. So, all the game developers have to focus on is using the current features available.

Archive / Avatar sizes

« on: 2002-05-19 12:43:28 »

The standard 60x60 ones are best
Slightly larger should also be okay.

The main problems with large avatars:-
1. File Size (Load times)
2. Table stretching
3. People using low-res monitors (I have to use 800x600 in college on a 14inch)
4. Avatars that take up more space than the post

If that's the case, then would it be possible to have a option in the user prefrences to have the site auto-scale to the resolution you select (via a drop-down box, not thru windows itself)?

Possible, you can even scale the text if needed. But this also means more work.

FF7 version 1.0 runs fine on my PC.
(CRC-32=E79D5195, 5,820,416 bytes)
I don't even have to use the TNT patch

I'm using WindowsXP
Nvidia 28.32 Drivers
The latest comp. update from Msft via Windows Update (It won't work without it)
FF7 Config Ver1.02 (Direct 3D Hardware) Nvidia TNT checked
I don't even need to switch off 8 bit palletted texturing support.
4XFSAA is on.

What is extremely surprising is that FF7 runs only if the exe is named. FF7.exe, if I name it anything else, the game will load but it will crash everytime I try and access the menu system.

General Discussion / Sephiroth Patch <*again*>

« on: 2002-05-02 09:17:57 »

I cheated, cause I did it with a program I wrote.
It searched for all references replaced them with the "correct" ones.
Don't ask me for the program cause it and the source got lost thanks to the last hard drive wipe out.

*EDIT*
You can try this program.
I'm not sure if it works.

IIRC, changing the whole body is no problem but changing the hair involves changing all the references in the field files.
And I mean every single one that Cloud appears in.

Sorry to say that my hard disk was erased recently as well, so I don't even have a single version of it. (Not that I can't make another one)
If I get the time, I'll get onto it but I've been very busy recently. Sorry.
