I have a problem, since the introduction of these changes, my pics have stopped working, and if i try to add new ones, I have the same prob, does any one else have this prob?

I would like to pick on a piont that Shinmaru has made, I do agree with him, but I also dis-agree with him. I agree on the fact that the introduction of a new type of character, less human and 'child' characters, was a brilliant innovation and it seemed like a really good idea, I really enjoyed the new dimension that they brought, but that was only for a while, they only created a new and exciting dimension temporarilly, it was only a temporary thing, and to me only lasted until Cleyra. Also the other point Shinmaru made, about Zidane been alot more likable, I do agree, unlike Cloud, or Squall, he was alot more relaxed, and took things as they come, and if they messed up, he would find a solution, this made a change to the more 'logical' approaches by other main characters of the past, and this intrigues me quite a bit, the fact that he was more 'care-free' , and this is prolly the only thing that kept me palying the game. About the characters now, I was never able to relate to them as much as I did to other characters in the previous Final Fantasies, in the other titles i was able to say things like "I can understand how you feel" and "That must have been rough", but i am unable to do this in this version, maybe it had to do with the fact that all the characters were all 'child' like, and I may have problems relating to them, but i was unable to escape the fact that they were children and I kept thinking 'how can they be bothered by this' and it just got me confused, and it didn't really excite me (Please tell me i'm not the only one who feels like this). If they were to make the world more believable, and the characyers, then yes, all for a sequel, but as it stands i really don't think I could stomach a sequel if it was like that, unless they made some improvemnets, the only bit that did seem like a real thing was the end, where Princess Garland and Zidane meet up, that did touch me, and also the way he had to leave [spoiler]his brother[/spoiler], Kuja, but apart from that, NO MORE, please. Sorry to ramble, thank you for reading [color=indigo]Added a spoiler tag on that crucial little detail there. - Desbreko[/color]

I walked through the fields And yet another fight awaited I'm tired of fighting It seems so empty I walk through the woods, as dying they are And yet another fight When will it end I'm too tired for this Fighting is just too periodical It happens too often All I want to do is rest Yes, rest, that is what I want Can I not lay here and sleep Dream of my dreams, the ones which have escaped me One's which have me living my old life a thousand year old life I now think, and remeber the days I embrace this As a child embraces his first thoughts And I bless them, as they are me I now walk home, to see what awaits Yet another fight as I walk on the baron road I draw my sword and fight I defeat the enemy and think to myself "This will have to change"

Well, I'm gonna try it, I fell like a poem, please tell me your comments on it, and tell me what I could do to improve it. I'm waiting Yet I only see the sun I can fell you But there is only wind At night, I fell you on my skin but only the covers are there I see you in the spherepool but they are all shadows of memories I wished we could have help infinity in my hand so our faithful encounter could have bore fruit and I could hear you whisper those words "I love you" You dissapeared too suddenly Your body went like a bird Life grabbed you away like a toy from a kid And left we to pick up the pieces I wait for you, here on the precipice I wait to fell your touch To hear your voice To hear those words I'm waiting, I'm waiting here, forever I hope you enjoyed my poem, If I can get enough responces, and comments on how to improve, I will write more poems on this subject, thank's :)

I like the one that you have currently, and i think they are all good, they are all well done, and put together, and since i'm a great fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, I love these banners. The only thing negative i think I could say is that athey are all just a bit similar aren't they (Not a bad thing mind you), but maybe you could have put a bit of variation in them, but saying that, thats just me. But anyway, yeah, they are well constructed and made, and they are all good, I hope to see other works from ya, see ya around :)

I agree with Sara, I myself are not very artistically gifted, but I do like to looka tand comment on others work, I so like to look at work. I do like your work, I could sympathise with your ability to faces, they are very diificult and I have great difficulties with getting the right expressions, but you have done a bang up job with them I think, and I can't see how you did it so well, I am just that bad :) Well anyway, I look forward to looking at other art works you make, see ya around

I've never been to Japan, but it is one of my ambitions to go and live there one day, and i was wondering if anyone could help me, and give me some advice for when I eventually go, as there has been talk of going to Japan in the six weeks holiday here at home, and I was wondering what it's like?

Well , I used to play the old pokemon card game, but that was because it all the range, and it was to be part of the crowd. but apart from that I enjoy playing the Duel monsters card gaem, that is really fun, and after watching the Yu-Gi-Oh series, I reall got into it, and so started collecting, and now i play it for fun with my mates and for fun, and believe me, it is!

Star signs, well I'm a virgo, and i have to say, from what i read i find my self been very much like a virgo, I'm not a big fan of star signs, but i do like astrology, and i do believe, as long as you use validated sources, and don't trust just one magazine, but look around, and collabarate your results, and then you should get a good picture of your star sign, but remeber, not to let them to control you, they are fun though, and through this thread i think I'm gonna check mine more often :)

Well I live in England, and the .Hack series has yet to full reach our shores, we have only really received the firdt part in the series, and i look forward to playing the others, I unfortunaltley never saw the series (I am so ashamed) and I just wanna know if it's worth buying the otheres, and if so how good are they, and what are they like, also any info on the series would be appreciated, are the games and series connected?

My favourites, wow, thats a hard one, there are so many, I'll have to think a moment, I know what 'll do, I'll list the ones that come into my head, and then justify it [B]Cowboy Be-Bop[/B] Well, this was a brilliant series, apart from all episodes been named after songs, it was alos good when it cam to soundtracks, I liked the beginning themes Tank!, and the ending theme, The Real Folk Blues, they were so brilliant, whenever I listened to Tank! I always thought off past days, and it made me quite happy, and The Real Folk Blues just was, well brilliant, It made me have a tear in my eye everytime i heard it, there was just so much emotion in the song, how can't you like it? [B]Gundam Wing[/B] There were two in this series which I loved, one was the song played after Libra was destroyed, and Heero came out of the explosion, it was the last episode in Gundam Wing, it was just so full of emotions, you could feel the accomplishments of the pilots, and the people who fought in the battles. The second one was in the second episode of the Endless Waltz series, near the end, it just had the kind of beat which was racey, it put you in the action of the moment, and you felt like the people of Earth, it was so well made and accompanied. [B]Outlaw Star[/B] There are too many in this to mention, I love all the songs in this series, the beat, the kind of music, the passion of the writer and composer can be felt, the reason and the purpose of it can be seen in the animations as well as the music, it was just so well made, and my hat goes off to the composer, it just made you wanna be there, and Melfina's version of a song was just, well it made me feel her pain, and anguish, I don't know if it's just me, but music has a way to move me. There are prolly alot more, but i can't really think of any more at the moment, I'll just leave this list of favourites, I also like the songs from Martian Successor Nedesico and Neon Genesis Evangelion, they are like the others, they have a purpose, and they have a meaning, they aren't just empty vessels and have no reason but to entertain, they tell a story. Well anyway, there we go, I hoped you enjoyed this list, see ya around :)

I love the Final Fantasy series, and i have to agree with the last two threads, I didn't like this one at all, the characters wern't believable enough for me, sure the story is great, and like a final fantasy, the graphics we're brilliant, but i just couldn't into the characters, and it bored me, and really, I wouldn't be rusing out to get a IX sequel like I did a X sequel, sorry to say this, but i did a ranking score and I gave it a 5 out of 10, so yeah, I'd keep to other Final Fantasies.

This my first time writing a story on this board, so please if I get anything wrong, or can improve anything, please give me some comments, and I will try to improve my story accordingly. [B][U] Prologue [/B][/U] There are five kingdoms on the world of Terra Nova, the first of these kingdoms, the kingdom of Onin, was a very new kingdom, established in the last 250 years, a kingdom that many people have joined, it concentrates it's self on the old ways of life, they are relatively peaceful, and enjoy a quiet life. The Second Kingdom, the kingdom of Mararia, was another kingdom that believed in the ways of the ancients, but their roots are deeper than any other, they enjoy a quiet life, and rarely get involved in the more immoral activities in the council The Third Kingdom, Malacnia , was a kingdom who believed only in the advancement of their technology, with reckless disregard for the welfare of others, but although they do this, they are relatively peaceful, and do not cause too much commotion on the world stage, but their use of technology is under scrutiny by the world council The Fourth Kingdom, Valamor, was a kingdom that was not well liked by many, they were very much violent, especially in the expansion of their borders, they have destroyed many smaller kingdoms in the expansion of their own, they have little regard for the lives of people, and their current tactics are disliked by all, the world council is trying to stop this kind of behaviour, but there are problems developing The Fifth Kingdom, Casalio, Is the largest, and most influential of all the kingdoms, they are relatively peaceful, and keep the order on the planet, even through these days of strife, Valamor have fought this kingdom many times, and lost, due to the fact that this kingdom's technology is alot more advanced than Valmor's, but patience between them are beginning to tire, and another war is expected. Our story follows the Praetor of Casalio, Ricardo Drago, as he learns the truth about his world, and why what happens, happens. Our story begins with the Praetor in his office in Casalio City, and his Aide enters... [B][U] Chapter 1 - Casalio Dawn [/B][/U] "Ahhh, I'm not made for this, I'm 27 and I'm ruling a kingdom, hehe, it's work though, can't help it that my dad was the city?s biggest aristocrat, and benefactor, well anyway, best get back to these forms" The Praetor returns to his work, marking the forms that are neatly arranged on his finely polished desk, the Praetor suddenly put his pen down, and looked at his watch, he saw the time, ?Wow, 6:00, I?ve been up all night, I can?t do with this, it?s really becoming ridiculous? As the Praetor said this the huge wooden doors, decorated with golden lions and eagles, and engraved with many different pictures, including the kingdoms crest opened. A man, of a distinguished age walked through, making a scuffling across the green, highly polished floor, He could be heard muttering under his breath anxiously. ?Hutchinson, what ever is wrong, what is the rush?!? The aide caught his breath, and then said quietly, yet concisely ?Sir, news from our posts on the border, Valamor troops are lining up on the border, they appear to be readying for invasion, sir?, there was an eerie silence, and then the Praetor shouted out, in a voice which echoed through the halls ?WHAT!?, WHEN!?? ?It was reported an hour ago, we have no response from the troops at the border, shall I call a cabinet meeting Sir?? The Butler fell silent after and awaited the Praetor?s response, the Praetor then spoke out and said, a lot more calmly, ?Wake them immediately!? ?Of course sir?, with this the aide ran as fast as he could from the chambers, and as the doors closed slowly behind him, the Praetor sat down slowly with his face in his hands, and the rising sun coming through the windows behind him, covering the city in a golden glow. [b][u]Chapter 2 ? Valamor?s Threat [/b][/u] The Praetor walked to the conference road, he took the elevator from the top floor down to the executive level, it was 6:30 now, and the corridors of the building we?re still echoing a defining silence. The Praetor walked out of the lift, it hummed down to the elevator shaft, and the Praetor walked straight forward, in front of him we?re large, double wooden doors, he opened it and entered. In they?re sat the cabinet, all good friends of the Praetor. He walked and sat down at the head of his desk, to his left was his minister of War, and his Home Minister. To his right, the foreign affairs minister, and his Science minister. The Praetor got comftable and begin to speak. ?Ladies and gentleman, as of 5:00am this morning, Valamor troops we?re seen on our borders, reported by the YTR-009 outpost, then at 5:40am, these reports we?re confirmed by a recon plane, we have had no contact in communications, and they will not respond to our hails, they have also stationed themselves on the borders of our allies, People, we are at a new phase of this planet, and we must lead!? There was a silence that seemed to last for minutes, but then it was broken by the minister of War said, quite abruptly ?Well, Praetor, our situation at the moment is that we have mobilized the 3rd and 5th armoured divisions, and we have air and sea forces ready to engage, all our units will be in position in 2 hours, the longest will be the troops at the border, then, we shall be able to take on there forces? ?Anyway, our technology is decades more advanced than there?s, even though they have an army three times the size of all the other armies combined, they are not as advanced, and we should have no problems with there forces? said the Science minister, sounding quite confident in the fact that Casalio could hold out. ?That maybe the case my friend, but I would still like to clear up this problem with diplomatic channels?, said the Praetor, sounding quite urgent. As the silence started, the doors of the chamber swung open, and an executive aide walked in, he whispered something to the Home minister, and then left, after the doors we?re closed, he Minister spoke up ?I think you take a look at this, Valamor Council is making an announcement?, the minister tapped a few buttons on the Mahogany desk in front of him, and the screen at the opposite end of the table opened, and a giant screen was showed, it fuzzed a bit, then a man, wearing a Valamor uniform, stood there and began to speak ?People of Terra Nova, we, the people of Valamor, have had enough of you, and we no longer accept that this world can be ruled by five kingdoms, so we have decided to fix this, and to do this, we will eradicate you, the other kingdoms, there will be no diplomacy, no peace talks, no surrender, total annihilation!, prepare to doe under our awesome power!?, the screen turned black, and the screen closed up again, the cabinet sat there, and they were all stunned, the Foreign minister was the first to speak up ?This is ridiculous, how can they do this!, we must contact our allies, and invoke the treaty of Fragar, we must Ally ourselves again, to defeat them!?, the minister quickly sat back in his chair, with his head in his hands, the silence carried on, and then all of a sudden there was a loud beeping, to this the whole cabinet looked up and looked at the opening screen, the computer then made an announcement ?Warning, Warning, Missile Attack Imminent, Counter Measures Inoperative, Target, Casalio City?, the computer then made a crackle and shut down, to this the cabinet made gasps, but the Praetor just sat there, with a stare that could pierce the strongest of armours [b][u]Chapter 3 ? Damocles? Sword [/b][/u] ?Reports are coming in from the office of the Praetor that there are incoming missiles to the city, the office has not commented on how our counter-measures have failed, but advise people to find shelter, we are at war with Valamor, please find shelter, this is Casalio news, signing off?, the reporter left there desk, and the camera turned off, the power on the TV was turned off, It was now 7:30 now, the praetor was standing at the windows of his office, looking out, sorrowfully, with him self leaned against it. To the back of his, footsteps could be heard, and it was his personnel Aide, Hutchinson, ?Sir, we must leave, your personnel Shuttle is waiting on the roof? The Praetor just stared out the window, Hutchinson looked out the window ?Don?t worry, they?ll be safe, our shelters will hold?, with this comment, the Praetor stood up straight ?It isn?t that, I know our people will be safe, but what bothers me is that we were fooled so easily, how could our counter-measures fail, it is inconceivable!? The Praetor sat down in his chair, face to the floor, and then, a long silence. ?Sir??, Hutchinson said confused, ?WE must go, we will be fine once we get to command? said Hutchinson, in a way to re-assure the Praetor. After a long pause the Praetor slowly stood up, and walked, silently to the elevator, once in the elevator, as the doors closed, the Praetor whispered ?This is not the end, but the beginning of the end for us?, the elevator went up towards the roof, the elevator was silent as it went up, all that could be heard was it?s gentle hum, all the essential files and equipment we?re already evacuated, and all that was left was the Praetor. The elevator reached the roof, and there was the shuttle, ?Good bye, we will meet again?, said the Praetor as he walked on to the shuttle pad he paused for a minute to take in the scenery, the rising sun, and the cityscape, a tear went down his cheek, the missiles could be seen on the horizon, he decided to board the shuttle, after a little push of Hutchinson, once in, he sat in his seat, Hutchinson next to him, and the shuttle took off. They were just outside the limits when all of a sudden, there was a loud explosion, a flash of white light, and all of a sudden silence, just the sound of the engine, ?I?m sorry sir? Hutchinson said quietly, not looking at the Praetor, but the Praetor didn't respond, he just looked forward, expressionless. The Shuttle carried on for a while longer, and eventually they began to descend, ?Sir, we have reached Casalio Command?, the Praetor just sat there, the engines began to power down, and the shuttle powered down, they had landed at Casalio Command [B][U] Chapter 4 ? Regret for a Nation [/B][/U] Once on the tarmac, the shuttle powered down, and the shuttle doors opened, when they opened, the Praetor stood up, silently, and walked out, he was greeted by soldiers, who saluted him as he exited, he was unaffected by this, then a man of a dignified age walked towards the Praetor, and saluted him, he ten spoke, calmly, but with a firmity ?Praetor Drago, I am glad you are safe, I am Commander Grandoa, I am the commander here at the facility, well, I run the facility while your not here, as you are the commander-in-chief of the facility, but please, will you come with me!?, as he said this, the Praetor spoke up, and got his colour back ?What is the status of Casalio City!??, with this, the commander stopped and turned, he had a grim expression ?Destroyed Sir, the city suffered a direct hit, and was destroyed, there is nothing left but rubble, we have already dispatched rescue vehicles to rescue the survivors, please, we must hurry to the command room?, as he said this, the Praetor sank again into his depression, and they walked to the facility, they went through various corridors and elevators, but eventually they reached the command centre, a large room, with banks of computers, and in rows (Think of it like ground control at Houston, like that, but with a raised centre bit, for the commander), the commander and the Praetor walked to the central control, there, they stood and looked at the banks of the computers, here, the commander spoke again, ?So far, we have been able to hold the Valamor troops at bay, they haven?t breached or defensive border, though it is only a matter of time, we must rally our allies, but they are having problems of there own at the minute, but they say they will hold out as long as they can, but if Valamor continue like this, then, I do not think they can hold out much longer?, the praetor just stood there, expressionless, he was shocked by this, but then, as if by some weird spell, the Praetor looked up, and had regained his voice ?Operator, open a channel to all the people of Casalio, use the emergency frequency!?, as he said this the operator nodded and he tapped furiously at his console, then he nodded again, and the Praetor sat down in front of a camera, and began to spoke ?People, soldiers, I will not hide this, Valamor has initiated a war of attrition against us, and we must respond force with force, our diplomatic channels will not be replied to, we must not allow them to defeat us, I will not hide this fact either, Casalio City was destroyed by a devastating missile attack, we do not know how our defences failed, but this is not the point now, we must survive and live, As of this moment I initiate emergency protocols, Martial law will be introduced as off tonight, we must win, for us, no, for the free people, have faith, and may god be with us? he finished, and he stood up, he looked to the commander, ?Have the emergency protocols initiated!? ?Yes sir?, he then walked off in the direction of communications to prep the troops, the Praetor just stared at the screen, and at the blobs on the screen ?God, have mercy on us all?, the Praetor whispered, and walked off to his quarters to rest

Well, I played Front Mission 3, I've only had it about 10 months, and I think it is most likely the most brilliant game I ever played, I love the Final Fantasy series, so I'm sure I would love playing this, and I did, and I never regreted it. Well anyway, onto subject, I never heard about a forth edition of the game, I'll have to have a look for it, It sounds brilliant though, and hopefully it will keep up the high standards that FM3 did, and I hope I enjoy it just as much

"What shall we do now, our tactics were flawred, and logic repulsed" Gene sounding very un-happy, "He shall be fine, after the night has passed, but we must not move him" said Kayeka, tending to Danillo. The travellers sat round a fire "Are you OK" asked Kayeka to Chyme, "I'll be fine, exhausted by the fight, I just need some rest, how about the head?", said Chyme abit exhausted, "It's nothing, I'll be fine, but will we be safe?" asked Kayeka "THe owls sing a song that proclaims that the woods sleep silently tonight, no fiends will attack" said Gene confidently, "Well, lets sleep" says chyme, yawning straight after, and the travellers slept until morning.

That was interesting, it was very funny, I really enjoyed reading through that, How long did it take you to think of that? , well anyway, I always loved Sephiroth, and I always thoughtn of him as the coolest guy as any FF bad guy (And he has cool hair) , Well any way, I'd love to see more of these, if you do any more.

After the fight, Gene asked, confused "To where has the elf disappeared?" , Chimaira, who was putting away his blood stained sword said "He must've retreated into the forest durind the skirmish", "Well, this wasn't a total waste, at least we dispatched the enemy" implied kayeka, putting away the arrow which he still had rady at his bow. The warriors then turned to Danillo, and stared....

and a fiend crawled out, it was huge, with snarling and gruesome teth, shimmering in the sunlight, and it's breath was horible, the two thought this was going to be diificult, but as they drew there wepons, a man jumped out of the treetops, he had two swords, and he cried as he came down "Now you die!", and the beast was done, it was sliced into two, it's insides sprad all over the floor. The man then withdrew his wapon from combat and looked to the two confused warriors, and said "Be you friend, you liv. Be you Enemy I kill you where you stand!" , the two wariors replied "We be friend, and you?", the warrior smiled and said "I belive you are friend, I believe you are like me, hunting the fiends?", the wariors nodded "Well, I will join you, we must defeat these evils, my name is Starwind, Gene Starwind" , the wariors replied with there names, and the warriors decide to walk off........

I've only been a member for a short while, but recently I've been getting a few people putting offensive messages onto my Guestbook, does anyone have any advice to give me, I'm worried that I might have to shut down my GuestBook, does any one have any advice
