Congratulations! You are now in possession of the most epic RPG known to man. Kefka could beat Sephiroth with both hands tied behind his back and no attacks but his mighty evil laugh.

I've played through it start to finish seven times over the past dozen years.  My secret shame: I've never beaten it.  I get bored and do something else at least by the time I need to grind for Kefka's tower and often long before.  It's awesome, but it's just a little too long.

Someday though.  Someday.

It is not too long. Rustling up the resources to beat Kefka doesn't take long at all.

Completing all the sidequests and nice bits, now that takes a little bit longer. I've beaten the game about five times. The last time I played the game was during a lowest level challenge run, which, due to a mishap involving mixing up how savestates work, made me lose over half of my progress, where I then lost interest and stopped playing altogether.

Oh, considering I was (shocker) a non-alcoholic until 21; just as you'd guess, I got wasted on my 21st. I never knew the joys of alcohol until then, and the resilience I built up by waiting makes it all the more awesome. Of course, for my first time getting wasted, everything had to be kept in close quarters (IE- party at a sibling's house). Aside the usual side-effects of alcohol for a first timer, it took me a few "silver bullets" to knock me down. TV shows and some anti-drug ads are full of crap.

And yes, FF6 is still, by far, the best Final Fantasy game I have ever played. Added bonus, GBA has bonus dungeons. Have fun with those ones. I only played the SNES version, and beat it. If I saw LPs correctly, or at least Youtube vids of them; my goodness, I hope you have patience and a good idea of what you're doing before you enter those hellholes. Makes rest of the game look easy.

Oh, and I beat Kefka's Tower with only 1 team. The other 2 teams had charms or enough skill to deal with REs, but not enough to deal with the bosses, those were left to my core team; which killed all the bosses and such, and they weren't godlike either, just skilled enough to do damage, but not high enough level to make all the fights effortless. Another reason for doing so was so I can have consistent savestates for the final battles. Plus, Locke rocks.

Of course, for completion's sake, I taught Ultima to everyone in the core team and had the beat the ever-loving crap out of everyone while wearing economizers. But after officially beating the game unfairly, I re-fought everyone on more equal grounds. Rather challenging when you play seriously.

Oh, on the note of Final Fantasy; I decided to find a torrent for FFX and X-2 International versions to see how much more of a challenge they were; and to check out Last Mission on X-2. To my surprise, Last Mission plays like a roguelike, except Final Fantasy X-2 style. I feel gypped on the US copies I have. It oddly reminded me a bit about nethack; although being the Int. version, it's ALL in Japanese. ...Great.

EDIT:
Sorry Jan. I didn't mean to continue it. Plus, I was just stating, at least from my experience, what I saw in the media, and what I experience don't usually go hand-in-hand with each other. Hell, I even went through a phase of training myself, under influence, various things so that I retain control and composure even after a "silver bullet" or 2, but still manage to do them as if sober and appear as such. Driving being among the priorities as an emergency precaution (quick to train, slow to master.). Surprisingly, I did very well.[/alcohol talk]

If anyone would mind can we leave the alcohol discussion out of this topic? I used to have some problems with it and now that I keep myself free of it reading stuff like that makes me want to go back to abusing it again. Which I did for quite a while. I'm pretty much a recovering alcoholic honestly.

Thanks.

My friend lent me FFX, which I've been enjoying.  Haven't got any of the rest though.

I have to warn everyone though, it's huge. I can't believe I wrote that much, but it just makes me all the more proud.

Yeah, I know.  I've had the page open since you posted it, but every time I look at the OP my eyes glaze over from the magnitude.  However, I will be reading it soon, and you've finally convinced me to write out my own giant walls of text describing games that will never be made.

This took too God damn long for me to make.  But at least I finally scribbled this useless pile of words for no good reason.  There, that's a biology exam, a community fortress turn, a couple pages of bullcrap vidjagame ideas, and another video LP series.  Not bad for a ten day vacation, right?  Right...

I have played almost zero Final Fantasy.
My Dad has number 12, but I've only played like 3 or 4 hours of that.

I'm not into that sorta thing.

The later numbers aren't as well. Exceptions being FF7 and Final Fantasy Tactics however. FFX was surprisingly well done, but it's sequel... I dunno; coulda been done much better. Felt like a rush job.

Kefka could beat Congratulations! You are now in possession of the most epic RPG known to man. Sephiroth with both hands tied behind his back and no attacks but his mighty evil laugh.

Made me sort of happy to see the internet back up Kefka for once.

FFXII is...not so great. I didn't see why some people thought it was shocking bad (OK, I guess gambits are why, but they aren't brain-rendingly horrible), but I got bored rather quick.

Meal fit for a king.  Or whatever y'all count as.  Maybe not so much the sprite, but I'm all with you on the peanutbutter corndogs.

Peanut butter is awesome.  Possibly my favourite flavour.  Those Chinese peanut chicken thingies are awesome.
