Its back at home with me now, the case and discs seem to be intact. Will start playing in a second.....as soon as i tidy my room. I can't be starting a new game with a messy room, ruins the atmosphere
Tell me about it, I have the game, and I've not turned it on all weekend, I just have so much to do I can't get settled.

I've only just played around 3 hours, think I've just finished the mountains and the mines bit and got back to the world map for the first time.
TBH I aint that impressed so far...I mean I LOVE the FF series and have played them all. But other than looks and it being a TB comabt system, I dont see how its similar to the FF's, from what I can tell the only vaguely interesting thing you can do when fighting is the ring system (which i hate bu it could be cuz I still cant perfect much lol). And this skill system, linking to the mortals, is not even a mile close to materia, juntioning or any of the FF things. There's no summons either. My final main gripe (and its something I always have an issue with) is when magic characters near enough rely completely on magic to be useful, so when you run out...you are as good as a team member down. till you can get to a shop....that or you carry tons and tons of mana thingies
oh yeah, one more thing...there's the action list and doing different things change the order of who goes next but I cant see where you can check this. there have been times where if I knew using a healing potion would allow me to heal before getting attacked and using a healing magic wouldnt...I wouldve used the potion.

no, i get that....my point is that without seeing the changes your actions make to the order, whats the point?
maybe healing was a bad example, unless using pots ALWAYS means you go before the enemies?

How many hours have people racked up? As I'm still just at the staff on the first disk and i've had the game over a week, Just not had chance to play it solid. So I may end up with the game lasting me the year

AH man.. I'm still at the black cave, never found the time to play the game
I don't like playing RPGs for 1 hour then leave it.
Ah well, guess this coming weekend is the perfect time to continue.
I'm caning the hell out of mine come easter holiday!!!
its virtually impossible to not be at the right level.
Do you not think disc 3 is too cut scene tastic ?

I put this on last night, after a drinking session, and in my state decided to start again and delete my older save, as I'd not played it for a while. Now if my Sober self could speak with my drunk self I'd slap him. But now it's already done, I may aswell just get on with it
Well i played it up to the end of disk 4 with no help and i love it...
but i treated myself to a prima gameguide thing to help me make sure i miss nothing. been years since i had a book for a game, but its nice quality anyway

I'm on the train part on the 3rd disc. Really enjoying it, Jansen is a contender for funniest game character ever!
The dream parts are really well done and thought out as well!
