Dear all,

It has been a long time since my last update, but after almost a year I am back.

Two months ago I bought an Xbox 360, and with I got Assassins Creed, which was an amazing game...till it ceased to work. And then I got the Orange Box, finished it, and also Guitar Hero 2 which keeps me occupied for hours on end.

And just this last week I bought Lost Odyssey. That thing that attracted me to lost Odyssey was the cover. It looked amazing, and the fact that written under the title was 'From the makers of Final Fantasy' was the selling point. I must have the game. So I did.

After 18 hours of playing I am on disc 2, and would like to tell you my first thoughts.

I do like the game, the pacing at the start is slow, but that is to be expected. The first cutscene is amazing, the graphics and the fact that everything seems to setup for a good world. However it takes a while for you to be told what is actually going on, and it isn't till the end of disc one, start of disc two, that everything starts to pave a path for you to follow.

The dialogue is quite good, the best VA being Jansen, his dialogue comes naturally, and I understand this is because of much ad-libbing and such. Kaim, the main character, is a Squall type character, so he doesn't really speak that much, and has the broody hero thing going on.

My biggest love is the boss battles, because I know no matter how much I train up, they will always have an advantage over you, and you must strategise to stop that advantage. The first boss so far has been the hardest, with it taking me at least five tries to realise what I was doing wrong and then...it was done.

So far it has been fun, and with only 18 hours clocked, and the storyline still having a long way to go, I know I won't be finished very soon.

I just want to say, wow, what an ending.  It did indeed show a somewhat end twist for every character.  I am sorry but there will be spoilers.

Michael:

At the start of the episode he is saving his brother from Mahone, who captured him.  Mahone wants the boat and the money and he will then let him go, but Michael forms an idea and befriends a boy called Chico, and they go off and talk to a drug lord called DeJesus.  DeJesus suspects him of being a cop, but after searching online, they see Mike is woth $100K.  Mike gives him more cash, and then makes for Panama.  Mahone is given the boat by Mike, but no money.  An argument breaks out, but then Mr Kim appears, his usual smarmy attitude.  Mahine turns the gun on him, however, Kim suspecting a double cross brought agents with him, and they march in.  Lincoln breaks himself free, and knocks one out, Mahone shooting one and snapping anothers neck.  Michael and Lincoln grab the money and escape.  After getting another boat from Chico, Sara appears on the boat.  Mike and her embrace, and she tells them Lincoln is a freeman.  They are happy, and Sara goes to get drinks.  However, the happy reunion is ended by Mr Kim, who trains a gun at both the brothers, but as he is about to kill Lincoln, he is shot by Sara.  He dies, falling into the water.  Sirens are heard and they run, Mike and Sara going through the jungle, Linc split up from them.  They make it to a house where Sara breaks down at killing a man.  He tells her he loves, and they walk out.  Michael holds her hostage with the gun, and admits to killing Kim, whilst Sara argues saying it wasn't him, and he is lead away.  A rainy prison sight is next seen, and Michael is brought out the van, and unchained.  He says Mahone in the same situation, and then is told to enter Sona!  The dark prison corridor is different than Fox River, littered with drugs, tranvestites.  Belick is seen quivering on the floor, naked, and beaten, a muscled man hovering over him.  As he makes it to the end of the corridor and intot he courtyard, the chanting gets louder and then he steps out.

Lincoln and Mahone:

Mahone holds him captured, handcuffed to a weak pipe.  Mahone phones Kim, leaving a message, then phones his wife and begs her to come down to Panama, and she agrees.  he is excited and wants his life back, no matter the cost.  Lincoln starts to weaken the pole.  When Michael arrives Mahone calls the police saying he saw a Chinese man being killed by two Americans.  After the warehouse, Mahone escaped on the boat and is asking the dock master questions, but the police find drugs planted on the boat by Michael, and Mahone is arrested.  In jail he phones Pam, and tells her to forget about him, hanging up, tears falling from his eyes.

Lincoln escapes the police and makes it to a boat yard, and evades the police, and afterwards heads to the police station asking about Sara.  he is told she just left, and sees her walkign away, and chases after her, another man also follows, but when Linc turns the corner, she is gone.

Sara and Kellerman:

As Sara's trial continues, Kellerman admits everything, about Lincoln, about the President, about Steadman and about Sara.  She is let go, and Kellerman is arrested, telling her it was good to know her.  She makes her way out, and gets a message from Michael, but when she tries to call there is no answer, so she says she needs to get down there. 

Kellerman is put into the back of a police van in orange prison suit, and is told to keep quiet.  The driver acts suspicious and pulls over.  Kellerman knows what it is, and starts talking about the French Resistance faced detah by the Nazi firing squad and they smiled knowing they did their job.  He smiles as the back of the van is pulled open, to face men with ski masks and sotguns.  They shoot into the van several times, Kellerman dying a hero.

T-Bag and Belick:

Both arrested and put in a jail cell.  They both talk, asking about the money, T-Bag acting cocky as he knows he will get out.  Belick says he thought T-Bag would be caught first, and go down in a hail of gun fire.  Belick is lead away, worried, and tells Sucre if he wants to find Maricruz he needs to help her.  Sucre collapses on the street his wound bleeding badly.   T-Bag is told that he was caught, and will not be let go, and is left screaming.

Kim and Padman:

Kim and Padman are in a limo, Padman holding up notes saying 'Sona?' and 'We only need one!'  Kim knowing what he means, leaves and heads down to Panama, where he is ultimately killed by Sara.  Padman is called General in a science base, and is told Scofield is captured, and that he will escape a sit is 'in his blood'.  T\o which he replies, 'That is what we want him to do!'

And that raps up, the epic series finale of Prison Break:Manhunt! 

 

 

Hey there all,

I have started a new game of Final Fantasy XII, a Vaan only game, and will be posting on here my slow progress through the game.  I have just done the Reks part, skipping most of the cutscenes, but the story seems to make more sense now.

Anyway, long story short, I am hoping this adventure goes well.  I plan to take Vaan into the desert, and then into the Westersands and level up using the Rare Game called Dustia, which I have been told can get him up to level 30 in a couple of hours, so that will be a big help.

I am still unsure wether to kill Guests off, or keep them alive for help.  I guess I could keep them alive for Marks, but storyline I will go solo. 

About Marks, I shall attempt them all solo for a time, but I am guessing that after a while they will start to get a bit hard for solo, especially the later ones, Yiazmat, Behemoth, Gilgamesh.

Well, off I go.  Into Rabanastre! 

Hello all,

Well It has been almost 2 years since I joined, 24 levels, 6158 posts and 178422 posts viewed.  But I think it has come to that time when I must step away from GS, say goodbye to it. 

I have been having fun at FFFU, and recently the Off-Topic Board, but I don't feel enjoyment coming on here anymore, I feel as if I have to sometimes.  It is taking up to much of my time, which I could be studying with, and so I say goodbye.

Thank you to KC, FS, Drunk, Maa and everyone else at FFFU.  You were the dearest friends to me on here, and I know I was a jerk sometimes, but I didn't mean it all seriously. 

But I guess, my special goodbye will be to KC, the one person on here that I connected to, who i trusted, who I really truly cared about, past the mask of their GS personality.  I will still talk to you on MSN, just GS...will be in the past.  Thank you for everything, all the trust you gave me, all the faith you put into me sometimes and, well, thank you for it all.  I love you really!

Well, goodbye everyone, a few more posts, and that will be my GS life over.  I may pop in now and again and check out boards, ask for help, some random call outs on the OT board, but all together...goodbye.

Liquid_s has left the building!

Yup, its going...okay so far.  But sadly...it will get much much harder!

Well, as the name says I have started my first FFX challenge. I have chosen a No Sphere Grid, Initial Equipment, No Zamnatos and No Customise challenge. I know it doesn't sound as difficult as others out there, but you have to start somewhere huh!

Well I have been playing for about 12 hours now (10 of them non stop, so have been up all night playing). I have made it to Mushroom Rock, where the level of difficulty has jumped waaay up, even Auron cannot withstand the might of some of these enemies, he was the first one to fall. Since I have IE rule on, I cannot equip any equipment that will nullify fire, so it will be one hell of a journey, but I have Ifrit which will help along the way.

So far, the hardest enemy has been Chocobo Eater, which almost pushed me off the cliff, but by luck I managed to overdrives by Valefor, and then Auron had the finishing blow. It will be along journey. I will keep you all posted once I get past Mushroom Rock.

Hey,

after many many attempts, that failed, to use Gimp, I finally found a great guide on how to help me, and to my suprise I found it easier than i thought, and now I understand where i went wrong.

I have made a sig and a banner already, they may be just novice ones, but I hope to get better as my skill in Gimp advances.

I am now on an angry rant against a gaming company that i used to think were great game makers.  They can still be, but it looks they have been deluded by one thing, that all game companies have now fell victim to, money!  Squaresoft used to make great games, and never ever brought out a sequel (or as I shall refer to them, Money Pots) because they are indeed money pots.  Square Enix was created and all of a sudden they started creating sequels to Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy VII as a bid to draw in more money, as these two games brought huge sales in for them.  Then there was more than a sequel brought out for Final Fantasy VII, a movie, a game, mobile games, a PSP game.  The list will go on till Final Fantays VII is indeed ruined, the legend that it once was.  It didn't really comre as a suprise, for of an annoyance at the Final Fantasy name being shown to have three new games planned all called Final Fantasy XIII(13).  That's right, three games planned.  Final Fantasy XII isn't even out in some places in the World and they are already starting on their next money horde project.

Squaresoft built the company up basically after almost failing, and Final Fantays brought them back to life, but now 13 games on it is starting to turn into something to make a quick buck from die hard fans.  They need to really take a look at themselves, which they won't, as the money they are now chasing in, is all they can care about. 

A few months ago  sat my exams.  And I got the results yesterday, and here they are.

Main title theme number four of FMA, Rewrite, with some of the best movies put together I have ever seen.  Not made by me, however, i honour this kind of skill.

Here it is!

My two new vids:

Dirty Little Secret

She Cried

Square Enix, as much as I love Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, are the new Cows.  Square side mostly 

Final Fantasy 7, the 'best game' described by fan boys has recently had so many 'sequels' and add-ons you need both hands to count them.  All in all here they are:

Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 7:Advent Children
Final Fantasy 7: Dirge of Cerberus
Final Fantasy 7:Crisis Core
Final Fantasy 7:Snowboarding
Final Fantasy 7: Dirge of Cerberus for mobile

I am sure the list goes on for a bit more, but there you have it, the biggest amount of milkage from one game, that I for one am getting tired of.  It was my first RPG, I love it, but the sequels are turning it into a fanboys wet dream, and my worst nightmare.

I need a B in English, History and Comptuing for uni, and I know I won't manage it. 

Last day of school is here, at last.  I am dressing up as Jason from Friday the 13th.  

Today shall be a day of sadness and gladness, but I will miss school, it gave me something to do during the day.  Aw well there is always uni...

They were in my toilet bag.  I had put them there to get them to my grans so I wouldn't lose them, but I forgot to take it.  Phew, thank god I found those memory cards.  FF7 here i come!

I have lost my PS1 memory card with all Final Fantasy saves on it.  It has completed saves from 1-9 (minus 3 and 2).  I was at the end of 7 on an Original Equipment, No Materia run aswell. 

I can't believe it, I am so stupid for losing it.  All that for nothing, it's not I can'yt be bother doing it again.....wait that is exactly what it is.  Half the stuff was so long and time consuming I don't think I could put my mind to go through 1,4,5 again.  And 6 for that matter.  They are good games, but I wanted to try and have all FF's completed before 12 came out.  Well guess I screwed that plan up good and proper.  I was packing it to go visit my grans and I just dissapeared. 

I will have one last look for it, if I do not find it...I cannot save my PS1 games

Wooo, almost a year and finally 4000 posts.  Mainly due to the re-vamp of the site I couldn't post much, then I didn't like the new desgin but now it has changed

It's on the 10th, I cannot wait.  We are gonna dress up as heroes and villians, although I don't know what to dress up as.  I want to be a villian.  Anyone got any ideas?

Then after that our headteacher is making us go to a beach for a party so we don't cause anarchy in the school...shes so stupid.  We will do it before hand.  Then after that it's all over, quite sad really
