Magus

Alright FF fans. I'm in need of your help again. What's the difference, or rather which is the better version to get, the DS or GBA version of Final Fantasy IV? I've read that the DS had a 3D makeover and is harder than the GBA version. I've seen the 3D version, but I'm not into the chibi-ish looking characters, but at the same time I've learned not to let that type of look fool me. (FF7) I've been trying to get input all over the interweb, but no one or nothing (reviews) is really selling me on anything. I know it comes down to preference, but I'm really having a hard time deciding on which to buy. One's cheaper (that's already calling my name) while the other is suppose to be harder. (And I like hard games.) Edit: Also, once I figure that out, I'm debating on whether to get FFIV or FFVI first. I've heard a lot of talk amongst the 2, so yeah, lol.

[quote name='Gavin'][SIZE="1"] (I'm of the opinion Sasuke will kill Madara)[/SIZE][/QUOTE] The sad part is, I can actually see this happening. Madara dies because of old age so Sasuke wins yet again by another technicality... >_> The only fight this boy won since this time skip was against Deidara, and he blew himself up. But he pretty much had that fight in the bag anyway, so I guess that counts.

I'm laughing on the inside at everyone this is affecting. [size=1](Waits for someone to crush my spirit with a Kakashi/Itachi counter.... Curse you Kishi)[/size] This is the talk at a lot of forums lately. (Caused one to shutdown for the day... possibly) I'm just not a fan of hers, and while I do think it's messed up and stupid that Kishi seems to be killing off side-characters that we haven't seen much of anything lately, I just don't feel for her. Seriously, once she fought with mini-Byakuya, I knew from that point onward that I wouldn't like her. However, even with all that said, she has made herself useful unlike some damsel from another series... [spoiler]Orihime[/spoiler] [spoiler]Ino's next. Then Choji, then Tenten, and then Sakura and finally Konoharmaru[/spoiler] I'm done tripping for the day now.

This is gonna have to be done the hard way... (I don't know anything about video tagging) -Play the first trailer -List of side scrolling clips -Choose 2nd clip from the left -Choose 2nd clip from the left again Girly-girl with purpl-ish/white hair with school girl outfit. [spoiler]Ed gets stabbed by some guy in a hoody.. I didn't watch the rest..[/spoiler]

I've seen what everyone else've seen minus the movie. I just can't get myself to touch the manga. Even though people have told me that he don't, I just can't shake the thought of Ed's bratty moments popping up. Looking at some of those other clips/trailers... Whose the girl with the purple hair in the school girl outfit? I've never seen her before? Back to the subject of character design, it looks a little bit like Hellsing Ultimate's character designs. (Going by facial features and eyes.)

[quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]So... does this mean you're wearing one right now? :animeblus[/color][/QUOTE] LOL. Almost made me choke on my tea. Undercover perv?

Indeed it is an intimidating subject [strike]I hate going to blogs[/strike], and I agree with Dagger that what the poster said about Mustang is spot on. Only thing that can be tacted on is more of his random moments. [spoiler](I LOVE DOGS!)[/spoiler] They hit you off guard because you're not expecting these sort of outbursts from a guy like Mustang. And then I gotta give a lot of creidt to his voice actor (What is his name? Travis? something?) for doing a good job too. Also, I'm more into secondary characters these days when it comes to the shounen genre. (Outside of a few select series.) Now, anyone who've seen me complain about FMA knows exactly why I don't claim it as a great series. For those who haven't. Ed and Al's the answer. One's very whiny (and it's understandable because they're still kids..) and the other is very bratty. I hate both of those characteristics. (and this is why I don't like kiddies as protagonists in anything.) I wanted to like Ed because his comical moments are funny, but every time he pout/whines about something he can't get he throws a hissy fit. (He's a lot like Luke in Tales of the Abyss) And I just wished someone hit this boy in the face. [spoiler]I was very happy near the end when Envy got to him. Actually, I was happy every time Envy got the best of Ed[/spoiler] (sorry, I'm mean XD) [size=1]Where are the Mustang avvies? There's one of Winry (of all people, why her?) but no Mustang.... j/k.[/size]

Haha, y'all actually went with it. (Then again, this is the OB afterall.)

Thanks everyone. (I was gonna wait till I turned the paper in before thanking everyone, but I'm halfway done now) I have a general idea of how this is going to turn out. It was basically sealed with Allanmorph's crash course, but the extra input is just icing on a cake especially since I have another paper due friday (my choice of subject) If we had the rep system (how about a bank system), I'd give yall some money. "coughs"

And to think, all of Konoha's fire users are incapicitated or just m.i.a. I don't know if getting Konan soggy will do any good. She's proven that she can fly in the rain. Perhaps someone with some earth abilities could throw/spit mud at her.

Truthfully, I'm suppose to drop the manga now that Nagato has been revealed, but I can't because I want to know how he brought everyone back to life and gave them the Rinnegan (sp?). I suppose the question now is which one of these worthless idiots is going to square off againt Konan?

So what's the verdict on the game. A friend of mine told me that it lives up to the hype. IGN gave it a 9.3 out of 10 and X-Play gave it a 5 out of 5. (That already tells me something.) I won't be getting the game anytime soon, but I will get it eventually. (I'm a "wait for a price drop" type of person.)

[i]Watching[/i] [b]Black Lagoon[/b] - I finally saw the second before last episode (Now I just need to see the last episode.) and I have to say that episode was really good. Balalaika continues to prove why she's the baddest of the bad. [b]Inuyasha[/b] - Wait... WHAT? I know, about a good 2-3 weeks ago I was angry that AS put this back on and took Moribito off, and truthfully, I can go on for days and days about the why I think this anime is not good as people make it out to be, but, yet I keep coming back to it for some strange reason. And even then, I still thought the show was pretty decent. I'd go so far to say that it's better than Bleach and Naruto.... (anime, not manga) But then again my screws haven't been tight lately so just ignore that lol.

[quote name='Raiyuu']Ichi x Ulqui?[/QUOTE] You've lost all your rights to talk for the next two weeks. I'll admit that Ulquiorra's release isn't all that great. But I've enjoyed seeing the trouncing that Ichigo's been getting at the moment. (Might as well enjoy it now before Ichigo gets one of those powerups from nowhere.) Then again, I'm anti-main characters when it comes to shounen lol. Not to mention that Ulquiorra is my 2nd favorite in the series... Byakuya still holds that #1 spot. (It's been a constant switch between the 2 though.)

Oh man, why do I feel like that suggestion is going to come back and haunt me? The devilish smiley don't make it any better either hehe.

[quote name='Indi'][COLOR="Indigo"][FONT="Arial"]As for Luke, it wasn't that I was any more tolerant. It was learning that [spoiler]he was, on account of being a replica, seven years old. Yes he was whiny, yes he was irritating, but what seven year old [I]isn't[/I] at times?[/spoiler] I never could look at him the same after learning that paticular detail and therefore, in my mind, he lost any power he had to be truly annoying. [/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] Would it help if I said I can't stand seven year olds? :animeswea Also, I forgot to note that I was following a walkthrough. (cheater XD) Collecting all the items and stuff, or rather I collected majority of the items. Everything on Eldrant, I practically skipped. Side Quests.. I did not do any costume collecting for Tear. I found no reason to do so. I didn't do that cooking side quest for Tear either. Basically, if it didn't involve fighting I didn't do it. Speaking of fighting. [spoiler]I also didn't fight anymore big monster thingy's. I think that it was said that there were 4 giant monsters or something throughout the game to get some item(s) or something like that.[/spoiler] So yeah, I did do quite a few side quests.... Oh yeah, perhaps 8-10 of those hours could be shredded down since I did leave the game on while I was on the computer trying to find out about the Field of Fonons stuff. It's still the longest game I've played though.

Ch. 345 Oh my... This just might be the best chapter yet. Ulquiorra = Batman... Man Bat. I don't know... I don't like Ichigo's chances here. Going by these pictures, it looks as if he's lost about a 3rd of his mask already and it just started. Then again, I suppose I shouldn't underestimate Ichigo because we all know that he's notorious for his "super saiyan" power ups. I see a bail out coming. Heh, even if they did show up, I don't like Byakuya or Kenpachi's chances here either. Unless 3 on 1.... =O That actually might be good to see. Kenpachi, Byakuya, and Ichigo vs Ulquiorra... Ok, I'm done with my wishful thinking. This also makes me wonder if Ichigo is really gonna win this fight here.... I think that someone here mentioned they could see these captains losing this battle and the war continues whereever Aizen plans to go... (I forgot the place.) Could've been another forum. As Gavin pointed out already, and I agree that this chapter really does look like it's confirming that Ulquiorra's a vasto lordes, and it makes me even more anxious to see the other 3 espadas, especially Stark and Halibel. =================== Ch. 346 Ichigo's still getting owned. Just a thought. Can we even go by what Toushiro said about vasto lordes anymore? So far, almost every single espada that've released looks human. Only exception(s) are Zomari (friggin pumpkin. PINK pumpkin at that), Nel, and possibly #9 (forgot his name).

Something to do with tiny mini-skirts...? That's the only thing I can think of that's notable at the moment. Full quote was something like, "All female officers will be required to wear tiny mini-skirts!" ~Mustang~ Perhaps that's used entirely too much these days though... "shrugs"

More homework stuff. For this computer class, I have a research paper that's suppose to be 2-3 pages. 1 of those page's suppose to be a chart. I'll just type out the assignment. [i]Research the various types of hard drives available from online and / or local retail stores. Make a chart of several different models of 1 TB HDDs. Include price, interface type, spindle speed, and average seek time.[/i] 2-3 pages chart = 1 page The chart is easy. The problem is the writing portion. (Writing's not a strong point for me.) How do you even begin writing a paper when the info you have is so vague? There's nothing to go on. I don't even know if I'm suppose to compare the stuff on this chart or anything.

I'll try to do this without spoiling so much since this is the anime thread, and you're talking about the manga. (You should join us in the manga area, Jonny.) I wouldn't say he's progressed so much when it comes to being level headed. Latest chapter is proof of that. (Bias talk, ignore it lol) But your other points are true. With that said though, I still don't like him. I don't think there's much Kishi can do to the character to change my opinion on that now. The only thing I'll admit is that Naruto's gained my respect a bit. Now for the anime... As we all know I don't watch subs, so I haven't been watching this. However, I did manage to peak at the episode where [spoiler]Kakashi was fighting Hidan and Kakuzu/o(?). (Choji and Ino continues to prove why they're worthless.)[/spoiler] The fighting was really good, and I was real impressed with Kakashi and how he handled himself against both opponents. Comparing this particular episode to the manga chapter(s), I have to say that the anime is actually a lot better than the manga. (That's the only time you'll see me say that.) My opinion on the series is pretty much the same as it's always been. Nothing all that good here. Just some good moments.

[quote name='Indi'][COLOR="Indigo"][FONT="Arial"]Anyway, I must have not done enough side quests Magus since I beat it and I only hit the 65 hour mark for the game. Ironically I managed to skip through pretty much all of the Eldrant dungeon and from start to finish, that entire thing, including the final boss battle took all of an hour and a half.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] Hm, then it must've been me and my paronia about some of the enemies. I spent a lot of time grinding. Legretta was a beast. (She freaked me out) Since my first encounter with her I fought atleast 6-8 battles before progressing to another area. :) I also think I might've done quite a few of the side missions. [spoiler]Collecting all of those rocks for Jade as well as collecting those books for Luke and techniques for Guy[/spoiler]. Glad to hear you had fun with the game though. It's also good to see that you and everyone else is more tolerant than I XD

As true as that is, and I'm not really disputing it, I'm just putting myself in that situation. I'd want a piece of the action. Whether I'm a liability or not, I don't want someone dishing out what I owe to someone. (I'd feel good just to kick him while he's down and run afterwards. :D)

Will do. How's that Zelda game? Phantom Hourglass I believe is the name. I know in the thread itself (I just skimmed it, didn't read much.) I kept seeing something about some new way to control Link. (Stylus control? O_o) I'm not much of a fan of touch screen just yet. (I'm boring) Is that the only way you can control him?

[quote name='Solo Tremaine'][COLOR=#503F86]I am incredibly irritated by the lack of intelligence the rest of Konoha appears to have. Shikamaru, with all his plans, can't even think of a decent support scenario for Naruto, and Ino's Dad has [I]only just now[/I] realised something about Pein that the audience knew months ago. Bad writing.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] Agreed, although, Konoha's been lacking in the intelligence department since Pein invaded if you ask me. Seeing how it's now down to 1 body, this is really where Shikamaru should be supporting Naruto at. Or rather, this is the perfect opportunity for him to be supporting Naruto. His shadow jutsu is a perfect counter to the force. Yet everyone is so hell bent on letting Naruto try to fight this alone. Heh, so much for Kakashi's theory on teamwork. And even then, the hell with the honor/pride crap. This guy invaded their home and pretty much wiped the village out. Every single one of these idiots should be trying to stomp a mudhole in his face. And yet again, this all boils back down to Tsunade's reliance in Naruto.. >_> [size=1][spoiler]Stupid heifer.[/spoiler][/size] I wasn't gonna take it there, but I couldn't resist. Solo's disappointment led me to vent :p.

Ooh, Castlevania. The one series I've been trying to get my hands on for the longest. Aren't there more Castlevania games on the DS outside of that Order of Ecclesia (sp?), or am I thinking about all them GBA games? I think I might get some of those too. I'd probably buy Professor Layton for my mom since she like a lot of brainteasers. She's into Brain Age(?). I think that's the name of it.
