I'm joking, but really, fanboys and fangirls transcend all logic and sensibility in their rabid devotion to a single object. Console fanatics will bitch about any console that's not their favorite, game fanatics will rabidly maul anyone who tries to point out a flaw, etc. These are people who have delved into full-on obsession and don't listen to reason anymore.

You are 100% correct sir, a gentleman and a scholar. I'm just saying I don't give them douche-pass for fanboyism. I think it actually ups their admissions application to Douche Academy.

...And I have copyrighted Douche Academy now. I am owed a quarter everytime someone uses it.

Does Hope ever grow up and get off his "Snow's fault for everything" crap? Seriously. I just want to slap the little shit. Chapter 5 and I just listened to him blame snow for everything and was hoping lightning would bitch slap him, but nope, she didn't. He really pisses me off. I enjoy the other characters but him. I hated controlling him because he bugs me so much

He gets over Snow by the end of chapter 6.


Speaking of crap we don't like, Phantom may have put down the game for the foreseeable future due to a somewhat bullshit boss battle. Apparently, your fight with Galenth's true form involves a really tough battle in the first place and then also something that either kicks in automatically or happens as an attack that makes your Gestalt bar drain before your eyes. He couldn't give me any details because he doesn't know what happened, so I asked on the boss talk page on the FF wiki. Hopefully, someone will figure out exactly what happened and add it to the battle tactics, because he's never put down a game he's liked over one thing before.

He aced me with Destrudo the first time I tried him. I rarely use Eidolons though, so I never had him do that to me. a Rentless Assault on him makes the fight easier in the second phase as it limits the damage of the attack.

Yeah. The wiki page says nothing about summoning in the battle, and he got pretty far without doing so using an alternative tactic to the one suggested, but he just couldn't win and the Gestalt bar just took the cake. Guessing from the sounds, he had to force himself to set the controller down before he threw it.

Who did you use, BTW? It might help him to have a tactic he knows another real person used.

Lightning, Sazh and Hope. I followed this guys strategy, Didn't get the 5 star but I did beat it.

It was funny, up until that point there wasn't a single hard boss fight at all. And Hope improved after his stupidity. I've been playing pretty much nonstop today lol.

I find it hilarious how the original trailer's battle scene became a fucking cutscene.

My brother just got everyone made l'Cie. He's waiting for Red XIII to show up.

I find that the plot is alot easier to follow early on with a little primer that I made myself. NB: I'm not sure if I'm right.

fal'Cie = Espers
l'Cie = Mages

I only wish. I see the lack of such a character as the ultimate missed opportunity of the game.

fal'Cie = Espers
l'Cie = Mages

It's more like:

l'Cie = FF4 Summoners
fal'Cie = demigods
