>Gain Elemental

So our phone warriors didn't come through and get us that Doom 4 footage? I've just been skimming the internet for D4 news.

Humans get stats after battle. If I remember correctly Skeletons are monsters so only way to make the stronger is for them to eat meat that is dropped after battle. Meat usually transforms them into another monster and this is the only way they have of getting stronger.

>>1796689
I was wondering what meat did, up to this point, I'd been giving it all to my human thinking it maybe raised stats or something. So without turning my skeletons into something else, they won't get any stronger? I was going for a party of a necromancer+undead, but if that's not possible, that's ok too.

>>1796678
Espers get more powerful from using skills.

Humans get more powerful from buying and using certain items in the store.

Monsters get more powerful by eating meat and becoming more powerful monsters.

>Lately we've been doing nothing but arguing and bitching over Final Fantasy
Agreed, and it's stupid. A board like this should be more friendly and positive.

>Your first FF
FFI, in 1991. I was 6. Me and my older brother, who owned the game and NES, played through it. He later gifted my his older games.
>Favorite FF
FFIX, for all the right reasons. One of the greatest games ever made IMO.
>Favorite track
Very hard to tell. "Maybe I'm a Lion" or "Sword of Doubt" probably, with honorable mentions to "Vamo'Alla Flamenco", "Crossing Those Hills", "You Are Not Alone", "Man With The Machine Gun", "Fisherman's Horizon", "Mako Reactor", "Red XIII's Theme", "Cayenne's Theme", "Run Past Through the Plain", "Clash on the Big Bridge(in all of its forms)", and "Theme of the Empire" from FFXII all are very close runner's up.
Hitoshi Sakimoto to me is the best composer overall, but Uematsu has more solid gems to his credit.
>Favorite character
Zidane, hands down. Steiner, Sabin, Wakka, Zell, Barret, Ramza, Selphie, Galuf, Kain, and just about every Cid are all charming and enjoyable to me.
>Where you think the series is headed/what you want from Square Enix in the future
It's dead, Jim.

The creative forces behind the series have mostly moved on. Square is more of a publisher than developer now.
Sad to see. The FF movie was a serious blow to the company, internally.

The reason people bitch about Final Fantasy is for the same reason people bitch over The Legend of Zelda or Grand Theft Auto, the games are typically of very high quality so people have very high standards when judging those games

>First FF
Final Fantasy IX: Rented it from my local Blockbuster back in 2000. I had no knowledge of the series, but the name and box art seemed cool. I remember really enjoying it up until that fight where the girl gets capture by the plant. I got stuck there and couldn't beat it until I revisited it a few years later.

>Favorite FF
Probably either VII or IV. VII was the one that really got me obsessed with the series for a while. Discovered it back in 6th or 7th grade and played it for hours every day after school. Loved pretty much every character, especially Tifa. I didn't play IV until just a couple of years ago, but it was a very enjoyable experience. It also had a great cast of characters and an excellent soundtrack.

>Favorite Track
"Overworld Map", "Bomb Ring (IV)", "Searching for Friends (VI)", "Anxious Heart", "The Forested Temple (VII)", "Fear", "Timber Owls (VIII)", "Bisaido Islands", and "Silence Before the Storm (X)".

>Favorite Character
Tifa, Barret, Wakka, Cid (IV), Locke, and Shadow.

>What do you wants from Square Enix in the future?
I want them to stop.

Really? Time for a new thread already?

Can someone archive the old thread?

Useful info there.

>>1792748
As requested in the previous thread.

>>1792749
/vr/ is archived by foolz

With the amount of arguing and confusion that's been going on in the last few threads I really thing that huge pastebin someone made a while back should be part of the sticky.

Does anyone still have that saved?

>>1774604
If anyone does, I can try to give it a quick run through when I get home later. I haven't had the chance to participate in the threads as much as I used to so I'm not sure I've seen the most recent revision of it.

What was wrong with the old thread?

Can someone save the goodness from the last thread?

Zero 4 Champ series (PC Engine). It's a drag racing game, kinda similar to the old Hot Rod on PC, you can custom your car and the game also offers a small storyline and some minigames. All the games are in japanese, but the first game is mostly in hiragana, so if you can deal with that you can play the game.

The second game is much more expansive and it has you travelling all over the US, it features even more minigames and more cars, this one isn't that straight forward as the first one, so it requires some reading comprehension in order to play.
