I'm playing FF8 via emulator on my PC, but I'm cheating by using a turbo script for boosting.

Code: [Select]
f(u,c,k,_,y,e,a,h)
{return u*u*u*u-u*u*u*_+u*u*y-u*e+a?k?f(u+1,c,k-1,_,y,e,a,h):0:putchar(u-c+h)==f(u+1,u,k-1,_,y,e,a,h);}
main(){return f(0,0,34,84,2423,26628,72864,98)<putchar(32)>f(0,0,40,125,5809,118995,906750,96)==~putchar(10);}

Wouldn't that not totally work due to some GF's actually having points during boost where you aren't supposed to hit the button? Also, don't level. Just card all the normal battles. Gain points for GF skills to get some refine abilities and just abuse those to get spells. Life Magic Refine from Siren should allow to refine Tents into Life, giving you something like 3000 HP at level 13 or whatever. I love that game for the many possible play styles you can use.

I mapped it to a certain key, so I just let the key go when I see the X flash. I really just use it for boss battles anyways, and use Enc-None to avoid random battles (I love how I get paid in intervals without having to battle). I also make sure to get Fish Fins at the beginning of the game (before I fight Ifrit) and Shiva's I-Magic RF, so I can get 20 Waters per fin and junction them to Squall's Atk and have him dealing 250+ damage before the first hour of gameplay. I love the game for its flexible battle system, too. This is like the 10th time I'm playing through it, and it's still fun.

Code: [Select]
f(u,c,k,_,y,e,a,h)
{return u*u*u*u-u*u*u*_+u*u*y-u*e+a?k?f(u+1,c,k-1,_,y,e,a,h):0:putchar(u-c+h)==f(u+1,u,k-1,_,y,e,a,h);}
main(){return f(0,0,34,84,2423,26628,72864,98)<putchar(32)>f(0,0,40,125,5809,118995,906750,96)==~putchar(10);}

I never understood that game when I played it, and I absolutely hated the lack of a normal weapon system :/
This is going in my sig. :)

Define "normal weapon system."

If you're referring to the weapon refinement system, the gathering aspect really isn't too bad compared to a lot of other games.  If you're referring to collecting magazines, yeah, I always thought that was a little annoying.

The magazines kind of bothered me too, but since it's never really necessary to upgrade your weapon and you can buy all of the magazines once you get to Esthar, it kind of evens out. Still, it would've been better if they sold magazines at regular shops as the game went on instead of having us find them.

Code: [Select]
f(u,c,k,_,y,e,a,h)
{return u*u*u*u-u*u*u*_+u*u*y-u*e+a?k?f(u+1,c,k-1,_,y,e,a,h):0:putchar(u-c+h)==f(u+1,u,k-1,_,y,e,a,h);}
main(){return f(0,0,34,84,2423,26628,72864,98)<putchar(32)>f(0,0,40,125,5809,118995,906750,96)==~putchar(10);}

By "normal weapon system" I meant games where you can actually buy your weapons, like pretty much every other FF made to date :/

I like that they changed things up, though. I think people who don't like 8 have reason to, but I like a lot of the things about the game that people didn't like. It's just my flavor of RPG.

Code: [Select]
f(u,c,k,_,y,e,a,h)
{return u*u*u*u-u*u*u*_+u*u*y-u*e+a?k?f(u+1,c,k-1,_,y,e,a,h):0:putchar(u-c+h)==f(u+1,u,k-1,_,y,e,a,h);}
main(){return f(0,0,34,84,2423,26628,72864,98)<putchar(32)>f(0,0,40,125,5809,118995,906750,96)==~putchar(10);}

I could never get into it, because when I played it, I never understood most of it. Maybe now that I could actually understand how the systems work, I might not mind it.

That, and I've never liked the story (I don't know the whole one, but what I have heard just doesn't jump out at me as a very good plot, really.)
This is going in my sig. :)

Reading about the story and actually going through it are entirely different things. It's probably the most human plot in FF history, although I know so many kids these days hate any character with any sort of flaw.

Well, I did play through part of it, but not that much, and I'm sorry, but I hated that opening stuff. As I said, maybe I'll be able to understand it enough to actually enjoy it now, but I'm not going to go out of my way to play it just yet.
