Normally I play human, but the sylvari remind me of how much I loved my sylvan in Dark Age. I'm starting as a sylvari elementalist. LIGHTNING WHIP ALL UP IN HURR.

Does the game map itself well to a gamepad?

I made a sylvari. It brought me back to playing a sylvan in Dark Age of Camelot. SOLD.

 I can't believe how much they've improved this game since the first beta. I played that one and now this one, and it's just all sorts of fun.

I'm playing Rainbow Moon now. It's fun, and I like the presentation, but it is most definitely a grinder's paradise.

What she said :3 :D

That link is  very interesting. I'm much more on the side of the supposed "original" ending. It's a difficult choice, but it's way more pertinent to the story than what we got. The EC at least gave it some closure, but the core irrelevancy of the 'ultimate choice' to the plot of the series as a whole still smarts. Whatevs, though. Sad that after such a fantastic series I'm basically just apathetic to it as a whole. Not at all what I'd hoped would come of it.

People are such cockstains sometimes.

Wut.

I've been playing in Japanese, and it's awesome. I'm really excited that it's getting an English release.

Disagree. *fingers in ears* la la la la la la.

OH MY GOD HELLO NEW BEST FRIEND. This is so awesome.

I really, really love FFIX. It captured everything I loved about the series but managed to get in a more Tales-style cast of characters, what with all the humor. Humor is more effective with drama, and drama is more effective with humor, and FFIX understood that. Plus... it has Zidane. I mean come on. You could combine the casts of FF7, 8, 10, 12, and 13, and still they wouldn't have as much charm and personality as FFIX's cast. /clearbias

6 and 9 (and Tactics) are without a doubt the FF's with the best cast of characters, I think.

True, but it wasn't what the music was supposed to sound like, and that's where my issue is.

Fact.

Also, Chrono Cross did basically everything the best ;-)

Its literally inexcusable if they still have that stuff in there. This already reeks of a lazy cash in, but if they can't even go that far...

FFIX doesn't get enough love.
