Please, be even more vague

I want that game, but it's the sequel to the sequel of a game I haven't beaten yet in the first place.

Final Fantasy X-2. How do I know? Because no one beat FFIX. 'cause it sucked.

"It has a green Luigi

As opposed to the bright pink Luigi?

Ah, yes, Mario & Luigi, Superstar Saga, a game I only managed to get about halfway through, thanks to that damn Fawful...

Because no one beat FFIX. 'cause it sucked.

I beat FF9, because it was amazing. What about all the sequels to FF7 that are flooding the market now...? HATED 7, understand people like it, though. And, none of the Final Fantasy propers are sequels to any of the others. 10 is not a true sequel, the characters have nothing in common, blah, blah, blah... X-2 IS a sequel, the first time an FF game got a direct sequel.

Bah. Hardly. You're entitled to your opinion, but in MY opinion, and the opinion of every person I know who's personally played it, it's the worst FF game of any of them. Not including X2.

Yes, I know this, but we're talking about someone who uses "sequel of a sequel," so thus the FF games are a series, with each game being a sequel to the previous, but with X2 being a sequel OF a sequel. The phrase "sequel of a sequel" gives connotations of being an offshoot of the main series, which X2 was. FFVII doesn't count, because the game it'd be a sequel to is NA's FFIII, or FFVI, which is ancient by this point, and no one would describe FFVII as a sequel of FFVI because the jump between both in style and time between is so great.

Don't try and school me on anything video game related. I'll trounce you every time.

Hmmmm... Are you familiar with SSI's AD&D Gold Box games? Or the Might & Magic RPGs?

I see we have the same customer...

It's not fair to your spouse/SO to send them to the store to get you something from the store without a clear description of what you need. Write it down, give spouse part of the old label, tell spouse where it's likely to be located in the store, the size, strength, color, anything! It may seem like you can read each others' minds after X years of marriage, but trust me, the psychic powers konk out at the most inconvenient times.

Heh, definitely. I love it when they try to get me to talk to their wives on the phone. Fuck that. Though, I have done it. I just don't like touching other peoples stuff.

It IS good when they come in with the label. Makes it so much easier. Especially if I have an RF gun and can just scan that bastard.


Lol'ing at the geek wars in the rest of the thread. I'm a dork. I only wish I were cool enough to be a geek. heh Don't like Final Fantasy, don't hate it...just...eh. And I want the new Mario game for the Wii. I was trying to remember which Star Wars game my kid wanted for Christmas--and couldn't.

I got him to tell me again, and I wrote it down, AGAIN. And the stores nearest us are out of it. bummer. Though, I didn't try very hard. And I'd never go bug some random associate to remember the name of random Star Wars game.

I haven't actually played most of them, but Nekojin despised 7, but beat it in spite of that fact.

We've both played 9 (we both got distracted well before finishing, however, which is par for the course with me), and we both rather enjoyed it.

I'd say I lost it, but I never had it.

Not to stereotype or anything, but I'm not particularly surprised at your enjoyment of it. That said, my original statement stands. People I know disliked it mightily.

Now you've got me curious as to why you're not surprised. Do tell.

Feel free to PM if you don't feel comfortable saying in thread.

C'mon! He has a Sith lord for his icon, and you have a unicorn thingy. Need any more be said about the difference in your tastes?

"Unicorn thingy"... nice...

OMG... I didn't realize how that sounded until you repeated it.

That's too bad. You missed out on some great RPGs from the old days.

Dude, I quoted the response from the guy in Might and Magic VII, when you say to him "I lost it" he replies "You never had it," referring to if you've managed to lose a plot item. It's one of the funniest things I ever ran across in a game because I'd no idea what he was referring to at first, so I thought he was randomly insulting me.

As opposed to the bright pink Luigi?

Well that would have narrowed it down, Super smash Bros Melee!

Expertise noted, and applauded. I had forgotten that quote.
