Well if it's as good as the first game then I'm sold already ;D

The second game was all kinds of better, despite having a less focused plot.

Man, I have none of those consoles.

 

I've only played the first Kingdom Hearts game.

I don't have any of those consoles either, but I'm going to get a 360 before FFXIII comes out. I actually have a decent list of game I want to get for it, too. My PS2 I mostly just bought for FF and KH.

The second was more polished and played more like I would expect FF to play, but the first was more of a challenge since you cuoldn't do a buzillion mid air hits, plus you could dodge roll on command as opposed to the introduced QTE moments that while flashy made boss fights way too easy

I don't know, I thought KH1 was fairly easy the whole way through; none of the storyline battles rivalled the fights with Demyx or Xaldin in KH2.

However the combo system was not so advanced that you could press the same button over and over again, and you actually use magic in the first one

The only difficult boss was Sephiroth in the Colosseum.  He took me several tries.

 

I really liked the Quickenings in FFXII.

Time for the epic spam

Malificent (the dragon) could kill you very quickly, so I hid behind the logs and healed my party members as they attacked

You guys were just bad at FF.

First, you were probably too low in level when you faced Dragonificent. Second, you're supposed to climb up on top of her back and attack from there, like with Cerberus. She drops a lot faster that way, especially if you're using Strike Raid or one of the other Keyblade abilities.

 

Quickenings were so useless. I made it the whole way through my first play-through of FFXII and only ended up using quickenings once as a way to finish off Zodiark. Likewise the Espers were utterly unnecessary. I summoned Belias once, to get rid of Orthros quickly, and never needed another one again.

Way too much final fantasy speak!

"Played more like I would expect FF to play", that's bullcrap anyway, FF hasn't come closer to that kind of gameplay than Crisis Core. They still use a variant of a turn-based system as opposed to KH's real-time hack-and-slash. And the Reaction Command system is most definitely not a Quicktime Event, because it's implemented seamlessly into actual combat gameplay, instead of being shoehorned in as a substitution for it.

Always way too much knowledge of RP games...

 

Then again, I liked Never Winter Nights and Oblivion.

I've never played either of those. Probably PC versions of each, but I never trust my computer's capabilities enough to use it for gaming, even now that I have a pretty decent one.

Oh, I don't have a lot of consoles, only the N64 and Wii, so I use my computer for gaming, albeit I haven't had a decent one for that long either, so I feel your pain there.  Up till mid last year, I was using one that was 11 yrs old Sony Vaio.

 

1.6ghz PIV willamete core

2GB RDRAM 1066mhz

TNT2 AGP 2x 64MB video card

Sound Blaster Audigy 2zs.

 

Which means, that only the RAM was keeping it alive till the Dual cores came out and I upgraded.

Yeah stats don't mean a whole lot to me. All I know is I have 3GB of RAM, 500GB of disk space, and an Athlon II dual core processor.

*peeks in to see if the subject of discussion has changed*

 

*it hasn't*

 

*leaves again*

*follows close behind meesh, holding a cloth and a bottle of chloroform*

You're not going to cart me out in a laundry cart and give me to the Chinese people are you?

Not if they don't pay me for it.

Well, then, I hope they lost their money!

If they did, the Koreans are still viable.

South, right?
