I just started playing it on Sunday. My parents came up for the weekend and brought me one of those 8mb memory cards (my mom works at shopko so I had her get it for me at a discount), since the POS-"I will never buy another Interact product again"-Mega Memory 16mb card didn't support it (Interact sucks!! grr)..
Anyways, I am addicted to that game :D It's awesome.. I have been playing it constantly, and I'm at that Lightning Plane part right now..
I love the battle and leveling system.. I think that is Square's best idea yet.. even though you can only have three ppl on the field at a time, the fact that you can swap them in and out of battle (essentially being able to use everyone in a battle if you wanted) eliminates the need to keep rotating your party so that everyone gets experience.. at least in the conventional sense (i.e. - you don't have to keep running back to a save spot to switch party members, level them up, and then switch back to the other members.. essentially screwing the members you don't use as much). I also like the fact that they eliminated Experience, and it's all based on AP for the Sphere Grid.. It's cool that you can make characters learn other characters' spells and stuff :D I am currently moving that one blue guy all over the place.. he has all of Lulu's level 1 magic spells, Wakka's Dark attack, and I am heading him over to Rikku's Steal section :D haha.. he is going to be cool (esp. since he doesn't really seem to get any other abilities on his sphere grid other than Lance and Jinx, prob. since he can learn Blue Magic).. Lulu already has her level 2 magic (Fira, etc.), and Yuna is freaking lagging behind.. I don't know, maybe I don't use her enough.. she has no attack power whatsoever, although she is great as a healer and I suppose summoner (although I don't use summons much except on bosses). I dunno.. she doesn't have Cura yet tho.. grr..
hmm.. anyways, so that is cool :D hehe.. about weapons and armor, am I correct in believing that essentially it is all the same? That's the way it seems.. that basically it's all the same but they have different bonuses on them. Although some weapons seem to be upgradable like Tidus has the red sword, the water sword, and I think something near the end.. I dunno..
Blitzball is cool.. I hated it at first b/c I didn't get it, but I am getting the hang of it now and my team doesn't suck as much.. I can pretty much beat all of the other teams (some very easily.. I beat one 6-0 once in a tourney :D).. I recruited this one chick, Mia or Myia or something, who is an awesome goalie :D hehe.. She has a CA of about 16, and she has that Super Goalie ability, which makes it variable between about 16-25 or so. So it can get pretty high (considering most of the players are around level 10 right now). Anyways, she is pretty good, and she even has good Attack and Endurance, but her PA SUCKS! It's friggin' 2!!! TWO!!! And it never goes up when she levels up!! argg!! So that is worthless, which makes her fairly worthless as a forward.. hehe.. oh well.. The hiring thing is kind of weird tho.. her contract ran out, and I tried to renew it, but I renewed it for too long and didn't have enough money, so I almost lost her! ack! Luckly she wasn't too far back so I just ran back and re-recruited her :D Does anyone know how to improve the Scout level? I'm still a level 1 scout, so I can't figure anything out about these ppl.. the only reason I knew to hire her, was b/c Square's Playonline guide said she was good :D hehe.. I read that Biggs and Wedge are good too.. I wish I could get back to Luca and recruit them :D Oh well, wait for the airship I guess..
Anyways, the game is really cool :D It's friggin' addicting tho.. It is forcing me to skip tv shows b/c it's so addicting.. hehe.. also because it has those loooooooooooooooooooooong intervals of cutscenes and other scenes in between save spheres, which make it hard to save and quit when you want to.
