SYSTEMETH'S PROFILE

I'm an avid fan of all things game related. I would not call myself a gamer, as that's silly to identify oneself by one's hobby. In any case, I wish to become a game designer (or at worst, a tester. I know that job is actually pretty bad, but I would at least settle on starting there.) and I refuse to stop trying at it.

I've wanted to do that since the tender age of 2, when I first consciously remember picking up a controller. When all I knew were the Atari 2600, and the NES, I still wanted to do it.

I've played a sizeable amount of games, as my Backloggery can attest to.

That's enough about me, I guess.

Speaking of VI, I've been replaying it and I can't figure out Blitzing for the life of me. Even though I hit LEFT RIGHT LEFT A, it still does nothing and I get Doom Fisted to death. Could someone explain how to do it timing-wise?


Assuming you're serious, I'll tell you.
Click Blitz. Finger dealie points to Sabin. This is your cue to input the command.
You can take as much time as you like to press the first button. From then on, you have about 2 seconds to do the next button, and then next, and so on until you press A.

So after the cursor points to Sabin, press Left. Then Right. Then Left. Then press A.

Worst game you personally do like.

Megaman X6, and Megaman X Command Mission now that I think about it.

Worst game you personally do like.

Joust II (unpopular, not bad. I could never like a game that I would classify as bad now could I?)

Also, your classification of bad/unpopular games needs some adjusting.
I'd hardly call Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter bad.


Neither would I. But it seems to be the least popular of the five games.
The black sheep, if you will.

I have bad/unpopular there to mean bad and/or unpopular.

FFIIdefinitely goes here.

First off, I feel it contains some of Nobuo's finest work, like Rose Battle, The Rebel Army, and especially Black Dragon

Second, I enjoyed leveling through play style. When not abused by hitting your own party or the like, it creates a constant progression of difficulty that appealed to me.

Third, it taught me a few things about placing monsters in enemy groups. Pairing the monster that confuses allies with the one that raises the party's attack; or pairing the monster that casts Blind with the monster that has high evasion. It made battles more than just hack-and-slash, and in my experience, far more entertaining. It also lent a degree of difficulty that most contemporary FFs lack; being a player who doesn't mind dying from time to time, I enjoyed that as well.

Lastly,



Firion looks badass.

EDIT: It's worth mentioning that Minwu, the first character to be fully devoted to White Magic, is a dude. Take that, Rosa. Also worth mentioning are the first Chocobos, the first Cid, and the first FF villains to kill off characters. Not to mention the fact that Emperor Mateus takes over hell after you kill him.


I agree with all of this.
Except, wasn't there a mention of a Cid in FFI?
