Once again, I'm too lame to stand it

[taotrooper]

Okay, I decided to give Final Fantasy XII a chance today.

And I can't believe how much the system annoys me. I'm normally running like a headless chicken during the fights, in useless hopes to dodge attacks while the bar fills up. Also, the whole license thing is just made of lame. So... I could get over techniques/spells being acquired like this, since it's normal in FF. But you can't equip a fucking item until you've gotten the license to wear it? So even if you buy it, you have to wait until you get enough LP to buy the license. Oh, wait a sec, I just remembered you have to buy the techs and spells as well with money AND LP. That is so, so not on; then fuck it, the whole thing.

Why must all FF games develop new, strange ways for you to get abilities in every single game? You know what, I'll stick to Tales games for a while, because I seriously lack the patience for this shit. I like winning my mad skillz by level up and sidequests, without angsting when I used my speshul snowflake points/tokens/spheres in the wrong branch of the ability tree.

El último juego que jugué ever fue FF8. */random medio nostálgico*

Quiero una consola. ;_;

D'aww, nunca me pude meter into ese juego.

;_; Tal vez si compras una desfasada ya? Son más baratas y mucho más si están a segunda mano. La PS2 tiene una cantidad bestial de juegos (OkamiOkamiOkami /subliminal), y la Gamecube tiene algún juego cute. Y si no, está la Nintendo DS que es actual, fácil de piratear para que corra con ROMs, y los juegos son fáciles (y podrías jugar AJ y los otros juegos de PW).

Realmente lo estoy considerando porque extraño jugar. Sobre todo cuando comentan en el chan. ;^;

I liked the FFXII leveling system? Because that meant you had to be smart when deciding who would double on certain skills or stats (thus saving money) and who would solo the skill (thus saving others' LP). And I found that the normal number of random encounters was just about right for earning LP and XP and money (so long as you decide not to equip everyone with A+ equipment every time you reach a new shop), so there's no tedious leveling if you play your stats and equipment right.

I played 130+ hours of that game, and I think one very satisfying thing about it was when you finally reach Yiazmat level of difficulty (and he is his own level of difficult trust me) you set gambits properly, walk away, make a sandwich, read a book.
