That's right. Today's column title is a Square One reference. Be afraid.

Judging by the picture you posted (Paine in her Gambler's Outfit) I'm
gonna assume you've beaten the Sphere Break Tournament in Chapter
Three. How many tries did it take you? Cause I've done it SIX FRICKIN
TIMES! And I still haven't beat Shinra! Every single time I start to
get a decent Echo Combo going, he slaps me down with the number one.
Once he used it three times in a row.
Is it just me, or have the Final Fantasy minigames been getting
progressivly more annoying? FF8 had that damn Random rule to annoy you.
Then FF9 made you play for half the game before telling you what all
the numbers meant, and sometimes they didn't seem to matter at all. And
of course, Blitz Ball tended to result in your team getting beat down
quite often until you could get some decent stats/abilites.
Are the Squaresoft minigame programmers sadistic or something? Or is it
just that Lady Luck really doesn't like me?

Googleshng:
Well I don't entirely see the logic there, since I just picked a random skimpy outfit out of the hat
for that example, but yes, I do indeed have that job. Got it on my first try too, although I agree that
it's really annoying if you need a lot of combos stacked up and get a 1 in the middle there. This is honestly
a universal problem shared by the bulk of mini-games in FF10-2 really. I was more annoyed with the whole
using radar to find buried cameras bit. Especially since the reward for doing so just turned out to be
a fairly useless grid.

hi I am looking for a good rpg with mult hit like star ocean 2and3 and want a good story like final fantasy series do you have any ideas?
|
|
Googleshng:
I haven't the foggiest idea what you mean by "mult hit" but I'm going to take a stab in the dark and
recommend the "Tales of..." games.

Guilt and such.

Oi,
My brother just bought a Gamecube yesterday to get the Zelda collection disc
(I already own a cube, he just wanted one for himself) and we were talking
about some of the dungeons. I then remembered about that swastica dungeon..
You know.. the one shaped like a swastica. Do you know if Nintendo ever
explained what the deal was with that? I don't remember it causing any
commotion (like the Pokemon Gold/Silver Unown swastica incident). Maybe I
was too young to remember.
Oh yeah. What happened to the Roundtable and Japandemonium? I enjoyed
reading both of those.
I had something else to ask you, but I can't remember. Oh well, back to
Monster Rancher 4.

RTs are on hiatus while I wait for the rest of the staff to put down FF11 long enough to attend them,
the guy who does the Japandemonium is... also on hiatus.
Anyway though, the deal with yon dungeon is that it is not in fact shaped like a swastika. The arms bend
in the wrong direction, making it a completely unrelated symbol from a different part of the world.
On a side note, the swastika was originally a symbol for good luck before nazis gave it such a bad
reputation. I'd make some joke here about that live-action Tick show by the way, but that's the sort of
analogy that really makes people freak out.
Oh, and since when is there an Unown that looks like a swastika? H looks like a TIE Fighter and X is
as straight forward as they come.
