Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy

Umm... so yea, I'm pretty sure I am completely out of this whole thing now... School sucks, but it is SLIGHTLY more important than this. At least some people are getting something out of it!

Good luck all!!!

March Media Madness

Wait...so you only got 2 votes TOTAL so far? Damn... I figured there would be at least a vote from each of the people that participated.

BTW, I voted, and I normally don't vote... on anything!

Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy

How about chocobos getting battles? Maybe I'm the only one that has this problem...? Or maybe it's not a problem?

Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy

Thought so.

So, what happened to Hackey McHackerton? (the dude that messed with the game stats)

Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy

I honestly don't mind the easy-ish enemies. It reminds me of the earlier days of FF (or at least the 16-bit era). I don't think that normal enemies should take more than 1 or 2 hits in most cases. Sure, a few enemies should take a few more hits to beat, but in general, battles should be a minor nuisance, not a royal pain n the ass each encounter. I think the balance is pretty fair!

Also...

When you are looking for the military leader of East Branch (forgot his name) one of the soldiers asks if you are looking for Cid and not him. I think it's a typo, but maybe not...?

Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy

Holy.... hell... I take a day to do my laundry and my notice box has 20 PAGES worth of posts, all for this game! I have been playing, but CHRIST! I think I may be boned in terms of the contest thingy... THAT I STARTED! I don't think I'm too far behind, but I am definitely not in the lead. Damn my old person responsibilities...

Things I noticed:
First, I can see how the dialogue changes in maturity in some places. You can definitely tell that this game was made over a long span of time. Not a big deal. There are a few places where the text is messed up (missing words, letters, misspellings, etc.) but nothing major. For the most part, it seems to level out by the time you get to Mysidia (at least so far).

Next, there is a toad enemy in the sewers (named Wart i think...) that has a poison attack that can do about 150 damage. I assume that you forgot to change it to the enemy version. Also, in the same area, someone mentions that there is a blue toad (Magic Toad) that is special. I found and killed one, but it didn't seem too special. Did I miss something?

I thought the encounter rate was a bit high, but I bought a moogle charm and that was taken care of rather quickly! I am almost worried that it's too low now! Yet, I'd rather that than every few steps.

A lot of other things I wanted to say were already mentioned:

-the dragoon spear is pretty bad (as well as the iron visor)
-the clawed drake
-the 4th door in the one dungeon
-there were a couple more, but I can;t think of them at the moment...

Oh, the Scorpion Tail can be bought before it is found, in Mysidia I believe, and for only 2 gold! Did you add this in the update?

Also, after I installed the update, I get random encounters on chocobos. Not a huge deal, but it does diminish some of their value.

I haven't noticed the sound issue, the speed issue in battles (the running shoes really do help! but otherwise, it's still not a big deal), or many f the other minor balancing issues though.


Overall, I am having fun playing! The first couple hours took a bit of getting used to, but once you get into the flow of things, it is very enjoyable! Also, whoever cheated (I forget who it was...) is now officially (unofficially) disqualified from the contest! Like I said, I issued the challenge, so I feel like I can give the say so there! Really, all this means is you can't claim the "biggest fan" title...

I'll try to be a bit more active in posting bugs and whatnot.

One last thing... SO MANY SPOILERS!!! Hide your observations! The game was only released a day ago!

Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy

Luckily, I have a nasty fast internet hook up. Already got it!

...unfortunately, I don't have wireless, so now I have to transfer it from my desktop to my laptop, so I can play while watching a washing machine, so no one will steal my laundry, because I live in a sketchy apparent complex where people are interested in taking my over-worn high school t-shirts!

Is that a run-on, or did I get it all right?

Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy

Dammit... stupid hangover. I'm already WAY behind it seems... well, planning on doing a mountain of laundry today, so I should be able to make up SOME ground.

Final Fantasy Blackmoon Prophecy

Hmmm... which way am I from EST? Am I in EST? WAAAHHH! Thinking makes my head hurt!!!
