[color=indigo]Close, but not quite. You need a bigger fish than that. . . .[/color]

[color=indigo]Heh, when I finally beat Metroid Prime I too only had about 50 energy left. . . . Of course, I also beat it on my first try. :toothy: The real challenge, though, is beating it in under 5 hours [i]and[/i] collecting 100% of the items and log book entries. A couple months after MP was released, Nintendo Power had an Arena challenge to see who could beat the game in the shortest amount of time with the highest percentage. The winner had a time of 3:58, with 100%. Second place was a whole hour behind, coming in at 5:03, also with 100%. I dunno about other people, but I think that's just insane. I don't see how you could possibly do everything in MP in that short of a time. I'd think just having to go around collecting all the items would take too long. :cross:[/color]

[color=indigo]That's how you get the Silver Scale. I'm asking how you get the Golden Scale. Try again. :)[/color]

[color=indigo]I've recently started playing this game (about three or four days ago), and I'm already almost all the way through it. It's just sucked me in, and I've played for hours and hours in one sitting without even realizing it. (I've looked up from it more than once and saw that it was getting light outside, heh). Now I know why so many people love this game and say it's one of the best RPGs ever, heh. Anyway, I really like the battle system. It's a nice change from the system in the FF games, heh. The dual and triple techs really add a lot more depth to the fights. It's also kind of nice that you don't have to go into a seperate screen for combat, too. The story is also absolutely awesome. It really drew me in, and actually made me want to keep playing after sitting and playing for hours and hours. It's also the only game I can remember to make me laugh, cry, and cheer (besides after beating a tough boss, I mean). I don't think any other game has had all three of those effects on me. Truly a spectacular game. I just hope Chrono Cross (which I'm going to play after I'm done with Chrono Trigger) is as good. ^_^[/color]

[color=indigo][b]Answer:[/b] The Reflect Spell, of course. [strike][b]Question:[/b] In The Adventure of Link, how do you tell where enemies are on the ground when you're in a cave, before you get the Candle so that you can see them?[/strike][/color] [b]Edit:[/b] [color=seagreen]Sheesh, no one else knows this? Bleh, guess I'll just have to ask another question. [b]Question:[/b] How do you get the Golden Scale in Ocarina of Time? (I'm looking for a very specific answer for this one).[/color]

[color=indigo]Hmm . . . I think I know where you are. Is it in that one room on the third floor with a couple Anubis and a couple Beamos? And the floor is a bunch of narrow walkways with square pits in between them? If that's where you're at, kill the Anubis and Beamos in the room. This should make the bars on the eastern doorway lift up, allowing you access to that room. In there, you'll find a floor switch that has four Armos Knights standing around it. The switch has to have constant pressure on it to keep the southern door open, however. To manage this while still being able to get through the door, lure one of the Armos Knights onto the switch and then hit it with your sword. This will make the Armos stop moving for a bit, so that the door will stay open long enough for you to run through. Next is a hallway with a little staircase. Through the door at the other end, you'll find yourself in another "throne room," like the one room just before you got the Silver Gauntlets. Defeat the Iron Knuckle, and then proceed through the passage behind it's throne. You'll now be outside the Spirit Temple on the other giant hand, across from where you got the Silver Gauntlets. In this chest, however, you'll find the Mirror Shield. Hope that helps. If that's not where you're at, sorry. It would help a lot if you could tell me what floor the room is on, and what area of that floor? (Such as the southeast corner of the third floor, which is what I just went through).[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Lady Asphyxia [/i] [B][size=1]I shall now proceed to translate, because both of you seem mixed up. Yuka posted in the thread to help, saying that you need the Power of Summer before you can get to the next lair [which is what the original question related to] but it sounded like a question. I'm either helping, or being a pest. Heh.[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]*blinks* . . . *goes back and reads her first post, adding in correct grammar and punctuation in my mind* . . . Ah, okay, I see now. She was asking Ralph how many seasons he has control of, and then telling him that he needs the Power of Summer to get to Level 3. I'm sorry, yuka-kitsune, but you really need to improve your post quality. At least to the point where people can easily understand what you're saying. Having clear, coherent posts is one of the [url=http://www.theotaku.com/rules.shtml]rules[/url], after all.[/color]

[color=indigo]Well, maybe not the the exact same thing, but the same sort of glitch. Like I said, "something [b]like[/b] Missingno most likely is in G/S/C."[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by forgotten_rogue [/i] [B]Ohhh maybe i was thinking of FF11 cause i know i saw them at.. ebgames.com [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]You're talking about FFX-2. FFXI is a completely online MMORPG. I've also heard that Square Enix was interested in maybe doing an FFVII sequal, but nothing else. I kind of doubt it's ever going to happen, though.[/color]

[color=indigo]I don't really doubt that it's also in G/S/C. I mean, it's caused by the empty variables used for storing Pokémon, right? And there are 256 different variables in a byte, and only 251 Pokémon in G/S/C. That leaves five open slots, meaning something like Missingno most likely [i]is[/i] in G/S/C. The only problem is find a way to make it appear, since they were probably looking for that type of glitch after the Missingno glitch in R/B.[/color]

[color=indigo]*blinks* . . . Then why are you posting in a help thread? I already posted what he needs to do to get to Level 3, if you were answering his question. It sounded like you were asking a question of your own, though.[/color]

[color=indigo]Um . . . where in the Spirit Temple? Where are you stuck? And is it in the part where you're young, or old? You need to be more specific for me to help; the dungeons are big places with a lot of different puzzles.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by 7gR [/i] [B]Zemus:As long is there is hate I will return!!! I don't know why he says that but he's in no other FF game? [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]That's not quite how it goes. (At least not in the SNES version, anyway). The quote is, [i]"...I ...will ..not ...perish ...as ...long ...as ...there ...is... ...evil ...in ...the ...hearts... ...of ...people...... ...puff... GRR...ZRR GGRAAAM! ! ! !"[/i] (And it's Zeromus saying it, by the way, not Zemus). I'm not sure how that's funny, though. :cross: I think it's funnier when Zemus says, [i]"Silly! This is just the beginning...... ..."[/i] I dunno, Zemus calling Golbez and FuSoYa "silly" just seems. . . . Well, silly, heh.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Break [/i] [B][size=1][color=CC0000]Couldn't you have just posted that release date in the FFX-2 thread? *sighs* One more off topic post in here, and I'm closing it.[/size][/color] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]You shouldn't just close the thread because of a few off-topic posts--that's what the delete button is for. If people start going off-topic, start deleting the off-topic posts and telling people to get back on topic. It may take a bit more time and effort than just closing the thread, but it's our job, and it keeps the thread going.[/color] [size=1][color=CC0000]Okay, sorry about that, I'll keep that in mind. :) -[b]Break[/b][/size][/color]

[color=indigo]Ah, guess I should have said in the US FFII, then; I didn't know that they renamed them in the PSX remake of FFIV. But yes, you got it right, they're called Jinn, Indra, and Shiva. And about the two different lists on the site, I have no idea. I think you're able to call more monsters in the PSX remake of FFIV, but I'm not sure. Maybe that has something to do with it.[/color] [color=9999cc][size=1]Sage, please ask a question now :) - [b]Zeh[/b][/color][/size]

[color=indigo]Eh, I wouldn't really consider this to be advertising. First, it's just a fansite, and second, you're not posting it just to try and get people to visit the site; you're posting the link because it has some cool info on it. There is an easy way to avoid this altogether, though, if you're afraid something like this would be considered advertising. That is, just copy the text off of the website and paste it into your post. That's really interesting, though. I've always been curious about the missingno glitch, and this answered all of my questions about it.[/color]

[color=indigo]Which level? Level 3: Poison Moth's Lair? Yeah, you need the Power of Summer to get into Level 3. The Power of Summer is the second season you gain control of, if that's what you're asking; you get the Power of Winter before getting the Power of Summer.[/color]

[color=indigo]There's a way to fix that, you know. People saying everything you do is wrong, that is. If you just read the [url=http://www.theotaku.com/rules.shtml]rules[/url] and follow them, you shouldn't have any problems. See, the thing about just not reading something if it's spam is just ignoring the problem, not fixing it. And if we just let the spam pile up, it would be very annoying to have to sift through it to find the threads that have some decent discussion in them. In other words, ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away, it just postpones the consequences. As for your question about where to find the Big Key in Dragon Roost Cavern, it's in that big room in the northeast corner of the first floor. To get there, go to the room just before the boss room. (The one that has the door with the big lock over it). Exit that room through the southern door, and then use the Grappling Hook to cross the gaps in the path to the east. Go through the door at the end of the path, and cut the ropes holding the bridge up so that you drop down to the second floor. From here, go through the door (west side of the room) and step onto the platform that's being held up by four ropes inside a cage. Use a Spin Attack to cut all four ropes at once, causing both you and the platform to fall down to the first floor. Jump off the platform into the passageway to the northeast, and jump across the metal platforms hanging from the ceiling. Climb up the ladder, and you'll find a barred door to your right (north side of the room). To open the door, use the Grappling Hook to swing on and pull down the lever out over the lava. Be careful to avoid the Keese flying around, and once you've pulled the lever, jump off the rope and back onto the platform with the now unbarred door. When you go through the door, use the Grappling Hook once again to swing on the beam up above. Stop yourself swinging with the R button and then, while holding the button, use the Control Stick to turn yourself towards the eastern passageway. Release the button, and then start swinging again with the Control Stick. After you jump across to the ledge, hop across some more metal platforms and swing across another lava pit with the Grappling Hook. Now you're finally in the room with the Big Key, but there's a problem; a ring of fire surrounds the chest that contains the Key. Next to the chest there's a switch that makes the flames disappear, but something must hold it down or else the flames just come back right away. To fix this, walk over to the lava in the room and wait for a Magtail to crawl out. Now wait for it to raise up a little and spread it's pincers, and then hit it with your sword. This will make it curl up into a ball, letting you pick up and carry it. Pick it up, and then go set it down on the switch. This will makes the flames disappear, while leaving you free to go open the chest and grab the Big Key. There, hope that helps. If you need any more help, just ask. :)[/color]

[color=indigo]Well, it really depends on which Zelda and which Link, and also when they'd get together. With the Link and Zelda from OOT/MM, it wouldn't work, seeing as Zelda is a sage and Link leaves after a while. (As told in the TWW story). If we're talking about the Link and Zelda from TWW, however, I think it could work. I mean, they do [spoiler]sail off together[/spoiler] at the end of TWW. Nothing has yet been said about the story of the next game, which is going to be a direct sequal to TWW, but they might be able to pull it off. Or they could just hint at it at the end, and not actually have it affect the game that much. So yeah, it is feasible for that Link and Zelda, but I don't think it would work to well with the others. As for whether I think they [i]should[/i] do it, no, not really. I don't think they could really make it work well, even with the TWW pair. I only think they should do it if it really adds something to the story. It shouldn't just be thrown in, otherwise it'll probably just seem stupid and pointless. It would probably also be pretty hard to do it well[/color]

[color=indigo]There's already a thread about Final Fantasy XI [url=http://otakuboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24030]here[/url]. Please post in it instead of creating a new thread. Thanks. :) [img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Lock.gif[/img] Thread Closed.[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Ruby [/i] [B]In every game all the characters can some how use magic. Could be a summoning or their weapons...[/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]Also not true. :whoops: Kain from FFIV is one of many characters throughout the series that doesn't use magic. He doesn't even use any magic-like attacks, such as Edge's Ninja abilities. There's also Yang from FFIV, for another one off the top of my head. Heh, sorry if I sound like I'm just shooting down peoples' points, but I can't stand just letting something like this go when I know it's wrong. ^_^; I just don't want people to have the wrong information.[/color]

[color=indigo]Okay, there are two things that are wrong with this thread. First, this would be considered advertising. Second, the site you linked to had links to pages with illegal ROMs. (And as such, I've deleted the link from your post). Both of these things are against the [url=http://www.theotaku.com/rules.shtml]rules[/url], which I suggest you read. Thanks. [img]http://www.angelfire.com/ex/desbreko/Lock.gif[/img] Thread Closed[/color]

[color=indigo]No offense, but you really need to work on your post quality. You may also want to read the [url=http://www.theotaku.com/rules.shtml]rules[/url], especially this one: "Incoherent Posts: At OtakuBoards.com, we greatly emphasize the concept of having clear, easy to read posts. This includes correct use of spelling, grammar and punctuation. If a member is posting with very poor quality, they will be asked to clean up their future posts. If the member persists in posting poorly, they will be banned from the site." I'll leave this thread open, as it could spark some decent discussion, but you should really work on putting more into your posts. Try giving your opinion on why you think they (Link and Zelda) should get together, instead of just saying they'd make a cool couple. In other words, give reasons why you think they should get together, in addition to stating that you think they should. Thanks. :)[/color]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by yuka-kitsune [/i] [B]i have beaten the game how many seasons do you have you have get the power of summer first be fore you do any thing [/B][/QUOTE] [color=indigo]Um . . . what? I don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you asking which seasons you have to have gained control of before you can get the Power of Summer? You should take more time to type your posts, to make them more coherent. (The use of grammar really helps a lot, and also one of the rules on OB is to have readable posts). Otherwise, people won't be able to understand you, like now. Sorry. :cross:[/color]

OOC: Just to let people know, in my little diagrams, if a card has an "x" in the middle of the numbers it means it's Cecil's color. If it has an "o" it means it's his opponent's color. X's instead of numbers means there's no card in that space. Edit: Lol, that's hilarious, Braidless Baka. That was one of the best parts in The Secret of Monkey Island. Especially when there actually [i]was[/i] a three-headed monkey. :laugh: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cecil walked confidently through the halls towards the classroom; he was sure he'd be able to master a simple card game. All he needed to do was keep a level head and think logically. [color=teal][i]The only problem I should have is trying to keep myself from using Sight to see my opponent's cards,[/i][/color] he thought with a small grin. That was the thing about being a Paladin--and having a conscience--he just couldn't bring himself to cheat. Walking into the classroom, Cecil smiled at Quistis--she didn't smile back. Cecil stood there just inside the doorway a moment, blinking. A blank stare was coming from Quitis. [color=teal]"Something wrong?"[/color] he finally asked, continuing farther into the room and sitting down in the chair in front of Quistis' desk. Quistis growled, obviously not in a very good mood. "Lets just start your lesson." Cecil was a bit nervous. He wondered what had upset Quistis, but then he remembered seeing Zell in the hallway, coming from the classroom. [color=teal]"Alright,"[/color] he said, keeping the thought to himself. [color=teal]"How does this game work, then?"[/color] "Well, first off, you play on a 3x3 grid like this" Quistis began. Cecil nodded, watching as Quistis layed out nine cards in a 3x3 pattern. "Now, each player takes turns placing cards on the grid. Those cards have four numbers, arranged in a cross pattern; one on top, one on the left, one on the right, and one on bottom. These are the strengths of that card on each side. Now, say a card with a three on bottom is placed. If a card with a number higher than three on top were to be placed below that card, the card on top would be flipped to it's opponent's color. Each player goes back a forth playing their cards, and whoever has the most cards flipped to their color at the end wins." Cecil nodded again, and Quistis handed Cecil a deck of five cards. "I'll run through a match with you as an example, since you've never played before. We'll play with some basic rules, and Difference trade rule. You go first," she said as she swepted five of the cards up into her hand and pushed aside the remaining four. Cecil looked through the starter deck. In it was a Gayla, a Bite Bug, a Blobra, a Funguar, and a Gesper. [color=teal]"Hmm. . . ."[/color] he said, thinking about his choices. Finally he placed the Gesper card in the top-left corner. ------1------X------X----- -----1x5----X X----X X---- ------4------X------X----- --------------------------- ------X------X------X----- -----X X----X X----X X---- ------X------X------X----- --------------------------- ------X------X------X----- -----X X----X X----X X---- ------X------X------X----- "Hmm, very good," Quistis said. "Protecting your weak sides by placing them against the edge." She then placed a Cockatrice card in the top-middle space, flipping Cecil's Gesper. ------1------2------X----- -----1o5----6o1----X X---- ------4------2------X----- --------------------------- ------X------X------X----- -----X X----X X----X X---- ------X------X------X----- --------------------------- ------X------X------X----- -----X X----X X----X X---- ------X------X------X----- In response, Cecil placed his Gayla card in the top-right space, flipping the Cockatrice card to his color but not the Gesper. [color=teal]"Ah, I guess you can't do combos?"[/color] ------1------2------2----- -----1o5----6x1----4x1---- ------4------2------4----- --------------------------- ------X------X------X----- -----X X----X X----X X---- ------X------X------X----- --------------------------- ------X------X------X----- -----X X----X X----X X---- ------X------X------X----- Quistis shook her head. "Not with the basic rules. If you're playing with Same, Plus, or Random rules, however, you can." She explained these [url=http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/DarrkPhoenix/ff8/cards.html]rules[/url] to Cecil, and then placed a Red Bat card in the center. Her Cockatrice was now secure, but the Red Bad was quite vulnerable on it's three open sides. ------1------2------2----- -----1o5----6o1----4x1---- ------4------2------4----- --------------------------- ------X------6------X----- -----X X----2o1----X X---- ------X------1------X----- --------------------------- ------X------X------X----- -----X X----X X----X X---- ------X------X------X----- Cecil used this weakness, and placed his Blobra in the bottom-center. ------1------2------2----- -----1o5----6o1----4x1---- ------4------2------4----- --------------------------- ------X------6------X----- -----X X----2x1----X X---- ------X------1------X----- --------------------------- ------X------2------X----- -----X X----5x3----X X---- ------X------1------X----- Quistis then placed a Geezard card in the bottom-right. ------1------2------2----- -----1o5----6o1----4x1---- ------4------2------4----- --------------------------- ------X------6------X----- -----X X----2x1----X X---- ------X------1------X----- --------------------------- ------X------2------1----- -----X X----5o3----5o4---- ------X------1------1----- Thinking for a moment, Cecil finally decided on his Bite Bug in the center-right. It was definitely going to be a close match, no matter who won. ------1------2------2----- -----1o5----6o1----4x1---- ------4------2------4----- --------------------------- ------X------6------1----- -----X X----2x1----5x3---- ------X------1------3----- --------------------------- ------X------2------1----- -----X X----5o3----5x4---- ------X------1------1----- Quistis eyed the cards in play for a long moment. It was coming down to the wire, but she finally placed an Oilboyle card in the center-left. ------1------2------2----- -----1o5----6o1----4x1---- ------4------2------4----- --------------------------- ------1------6------1----- -----8o8----2o1----5x3---- ------4------1------3----- --------------------------- ------X------2------1----- -----X X----5o3----5x4---- ------X------1------1----- Cecil grinned, knowing he had won. He placed his final card, a Funguar, in the bottom-left corner. [color=teal]"Checkmate."[/color] ------1------2------2----- -----1o5----6o1----4x1---- ------4------2------4----- --------------------------- ------1------6------1----- -----8x8----2o1----5x3---- ------4------1------3----- --------------------------- ------5------2------1----- -----3x1----5o3----5x4---- ------1------1------1----- Quistis growled again, looking like she had when Cecil had first walked in. "You play chess?" [color=teal]"A little,"[/color] Cecil said as he eyed the Oilboyle card. [color=teal]"Five to four . . . this means I take one card, yes?"[/color] "Take two," Quistis said. "I gave the other two an extra one, it's only fair." She sighed, watching as Cecil snatched up two of her cards along with his own. [color=teal]"Don't worry, I'll take good care of them,"[/color] Cecil said with a smile as he added the Oilboyle and Caterchipillar (the one card Quistis hadn't played) cards to his new starter deck. Quistis just growled again. Losing two times in a row was one thing, but three? Unheard of, especially when two of her opponents had never even played before. [i]I must be losing my edge,[/i] she thought bitterly. Cecil stopped in the doorway as he was walking out, and turned back around. Quistis was sitting at her desk, looking worse than when he had come in. [color=teal]"Winning isn't everything,"[/color] he said just loud enough for her to hear, and then continued out into the hall to search for others to challenge.
