i actually thought they didnt do to bad on clouds voice
even tho i dont think they got his character down at all

yeah...and when its in japanese you can at least think its done really good

Actually, having a conversational understanding of Japanese, I can say that, corny plot aside, the Japanese seiyuu delivered the lines much better than the English voice talent.

I watched Resident Evil: Degeneration in English and found myself wondering, just what it would have sounded like in Japanese.

i have 5 copies of this game

i loved it

Five copies? Wow. I've only two, and that's only because the install disk for the first copy got too scratched.

i only ever had one copy but thats simply because my first copy lasted me forever and ps1 games start to dissapear from normal places like walmart due to the ps2.

I could go online and find a copy im sure and I may very well do that just for kicks because its been forever since I played it i've probably forgotten parts of the story line =P

I don't know why but from the very few trailers i've seen of ff13 i'm expecting it to be like ff8 in a few ways with an upgraded combat system.

I don't know why I get that feeling I just do lol

The flexibility of FFVIII's system enabled the player to choose what game 'difficulty' will he play.


This is very important to note.

Btw, I started some time ago a FFVIII challenge - my goal was to play only with Squall and Shiva junctioned into him. Trick was, Shiva would take all the kills so the Battle Meter would show what amount of enemies she cracked through the game. I played it on the computer, and the project fell apart due to my lack of time at that moment. I ordered a pocketstation now and soon I'll be looking to fetch the game as well (PlayStation PAL FFVIII is not easy to find ): especially at some gg price). I'm not sure whether I'll be actually using the Pocketstation in that challenge, as I could buff Shiva monstrously as soon as I get Chocobo Forest access.


FFXII's voice acting was excellent in my opinion. It was so good in comparison to previous voice acting projects, that I think they won't repeat such success.


While I did enjoy FFXII's english voice acting, I agree with the quote. As Final Fantasy progresses, the player's imagination is useless as games serve it all out already - voices of the (back then) voiceless characters used to be one of the few things the player could imagine, and it was good as it now turned out to be a major key in character impression.

Regarding this challenge, I've done something very similar in the past, although in my case, where each character was only allowed one Junctioned guardian force. Strangely enough, I've always junctioned Shiva to Squall, so that part's not so much different from what I normally do, but the key to the challenge is abuse the hell out of Chocobo World and the items that teach Guardian Forces abilities. Since a Guardian Force can only learn 22 abilities, acquire attribute enhancing "meds" like Str-Up and Spr-Up are essential, as it gives you the ability to remove the Attribute Junction abilities native to Shiva (Str-J, Vit-J and Spr-J) and other Junction abilities that will hinder you in the challenge (Doom, Elem-Def-J, Elem-Defx2, Vit +20%, Vit +40%, Spr +20%, Spr+40% and Boost) with Amnesia Greens, placing them with things that Shiva doesn't naturally learn but are absolutely essential to your success, like Abilityx4 (Rosetta Stone), Elem-Defx4 (Elem Guard), and Ribbon (Ribbon). Ultimately, the 22 abilities you'll want Shiva to have learned (and from where she'll learn them) are as follows:

Elem-Atk-J (Native)
Magic (Native)
GF (Native)
Draw (Native)
Item (Native)
SumMag+10% (Native)
SumMag+20% (Native)
SumMag+30% (Native)
GFHP+10% (Native)
GFHP+20% (Native)
I Mag-RF (Native)
MiniMog (Mog's Amulet)
SumMag+40 (Samantha Soul)
GFHP+30% (Gold Mail)
GFHP+40% (Diamond Mail)
Elem-Defx4 (Elem Def)
Status Atk (Status Atk)
Abilityx4 (Rosetta Stone)
Ribbon (Ribbon)
Auto-Haste (Accelerator)
Auto-Protect (Moon Curtain)
Auto-Shell (Steel Curtain)

While some might suggest you replace Auto-Haste with Initiative, with 255 Speed and Auto-Haste equipped, Squall will be so fast, he'll be ready in a blink of an eye; Minimog is essential for boss battles, as it'll allow you to exchange Gil for Shiva's HP, and you'll be making heavy use of G-Hi-Potion and G-Returners with the Item function outside of boss battles. The GFHP+X% and SumMag+X% abilities are all passive and stack, which allows you to worry less about having to level Shiva; the Counter ability is to be avoided, as the ability may take kills away from Shiva. The Magic and Draw abilities are mostly extraneous, as the only spell that Squall will primarily be using is Curaga on himself, which can easily be replaced by something available under the Item function, namely X-Potions, which will unfailingly replenish all of Squall's HP; likewise, as he won't be Junctioning any magic, since his attributes will be maxed through meds, the Draw command will have no function. By end-game, the Command abilities that Squall should be using are:

Attack > Renzokuken
GF
Minimog
Item

As previously mentioned, Draw and Magic will both be outdated, but the lack of other passive abilities means there's no need to waste Amnesia Greens removing abilities that have no real replacements. However, this is just a nugget from my own experiences that I thought I'd share with you, so, if you find something more efficient, I'd love to hear about it.
