Wow, I'm gone for a week, and all you guys can talk about are fish and sex organs. What a lovely combonation.
So, as you all can guess, I am finally back, Kyrstie is home and I am alone. It's been... one hell of a week to say the least, and I was glad to see it end on a good note.
In other news, I've been using my spare time while Kyrstie sleeps (I swear she is possesed, she says all kindsa demonic frases in her sleep >.>; wink to further plan out my RP characters plots and stories. Elise is getting a major overhual in terms of... just about everything. But it'll be explained as the rp go's on. Plus, I might put in two new characters to the mix, and the final addition to the Ziler familey.
Moving on, I need to find a store selling Lost Kingdoms, that was a ******** good game...

Xiaeriene and Xiaedessa are both girls, and have female anatomical parts. Cyrus and Megami, however, are Hermaphrodites, if you want simple terms, twins born with their parts seemingly reversed, but they do not have children the normal way anyway, as their children were born from eggs hatched otu of a sac that lies behind the stomach, in the backside. Also, Cyrus is straight, he is not really attracted to men, but Sora is the exception, the only man he ever was attracted to, and the only MAN he ever loved. Megami is the same way, only attracted to women, but Dina was er exception. And ryu, I plan on now revealing a bit more of the childhood of Cyrus and Megami, and also how Cyrus met Sora, as soon as the schoolday starts. As for Zangonya, Ryu, you should know, Zangonya is....think, President Taki Rentarou from Battle Club....but, either way, I plan on revealing her secret during combat class.
In the meantime, wow, it sucks, I just spent 106K Gaia gold like that, I bought the outfit for Louis's avatar, and what sucks is, he is still missing the overcoat, which is the most expensive item, so now I have to work on saving up 56K to finish his outfit!
Seriously Vain, did you expect anything less? Anyway, you really should check out Rogue Galaxy or Paper Mario 2 if you find the time and money, both are awesoem games.

I hate paper mario, and what did you mean by 'what do you expect'?
But it's just, I was looking at my cube, and was like, "What games should I get?", then I remembered Lost Kingdoms way back when it first came out. I got like 2 of the 4 beasts there that are locked up. (Having a brain fart and can hardly remember what I am talking about) and I was actually one of the first to figure out that Red Lizard became Red Dragon (most of my deck constisted of Red Lizard, as I liked being able to use it three times per card, and followed up with that jelly fish and healing fairy) plus later on when you got the calapotpuse (sp?) those were good.
And so, I've been also getting adicted to Fight Night 2004 for PS2. Decent boxing game, but I hate the controls, bout the best I could do was switch so much of the punches were organized by buttons, and just having to use the right stick for uppercuts.
Speking of games, I got FF12 for free. So like... it sat in a corner for 3 weeks. The game was crap, so I had no reason to play it a second time. So when I brought Kyrstie home, I just gave it to her, in exchange for Yugioh Forbidin Memories. looks like a hard twist to the card game so far.

I thought you only played a tiny bit of FF12? Well, I personally liked it a LOT better than X(Turn-based crap and all stats are obtained on some grid) or X-2(Too much joking around), but it still cannot compare to 4,5, and 6. Not to mention, the game really didn't get that interesting to me till toward the end, after you fight Dr. Cid the first time, and can access some of the more badass areas of the game. Not to mention, I really only play it through to fight the more fun bosses, like the Hell Wyrm, Omega and Yiazmat, who have 8 Mil, 10 Mil, and 50 Mil HP respectively and are a super challenge even at lvl 100 with the best equips. But, even so, I will admit the game was still lackluster, it could have had so much more to workwith, with what they introduced and improved. Rogue Galaxy was good from he beginning, not to mention I like being able to simply jump onto the ledge in front of me that is a mere foot high, instead of having to run a big circle around just to get up there(Seriously, I never figured otu in the RPGs that have it to where you have to walk a huge distance just to get onto a section of pathway that is a mere foot higher than where you started). And I guess I should have know you would not like Paper Mario, since it does nto have any sort of violence in it to speak of...then again, I really can't stand Video ames that are Card-based, since the etire purpose of a card-based gtame is to play with CARDS against someone else....and Forbidden Memories sucks balls, I game my copy to my little brother ages ago, and I hate they gameplay; too much relying on pure luck against a computer opponent who usually gets what they need, not to mention don't bother using the card code entering to get good cards at the beginning of the game, you need "Star Chips" to purchase the card even if you enter it, and most cards require amounts that are actually unobtainable in the game, forcing you to obtain it through normal gameplay.

A game doesnt need violence to be good, it needs to be fun to be good.
Mario Party: little to no violence, very fun.
Lumines: Its a puzzle game, self explanitory. (Plus the most addicting PSP game ever)
Animal Crossing: Bout the most violence in it is hitting animals with a net to piss them off. (Which i do whenver they steal my bells, those ******** Izumi convinced me to beat FF12, and well, it was too ******** easy. I did a 250 chain in no time... not to mention those liscences were AS BAD AS THE SPHERE GRID! And X-2 was great, it broguht back some classic game play, and still told a decent story with chalanges. FF5 sucked balls... FF4, 7, and most of all, 9, were the best, specially 9.
And I like it, because it adds a hard twist, what with the astral signs adding effects to the monsters and such.

X-2 had no challenges for me, even Trema and the uber-bosses of Via Infinito were a pushover to me, they just required a good strategy(Or use of the Catnip/Critical HP with Haste Status on a Gunner with Trigger Happy Lv.3)
But Yeah, the grid got annoying after a while, but at least they made it like the original first 5 FF games, where you actually had to BUY the spells and skills before you could access them.....as for the Chain thing, it depends on what you are chaining, easy monsters will of cours chain easily, especially if they are common, but they don't net rewards as good. I actually managed to chain Shield Wyrms in the Cerobi Steppe, and that is ******** hard as hell, since they are sparsely scattered throughout the map, and tons of other monsters little the field, making it hard to chain without having to deal with all tose other monsters bothering you. Not to mention, Shield Wyrms are no easy monster, having almost 70K HP, hitting hard and stuff, I am lvl 64 and it still took me over an hour just to chain 20 of them(And only made it to chain lvl 2 after killing the 17th) and there are some you absolutely cannot chain, like the Elementals and Entites, since they are borderline rare encounters and appear as one in the whole map.....Hunts were interesting, Rare Monster Hunting was fun too, and I never really used the License Board much, once I had the Augments I really didn't bother much with it, I mainly used items as they were faster that magic, and the Brawler augment paired with an accessory that boosts barehanded damage, I dead enough damage withotu weapons, and it is a lot faster than with weapons. But, you said you beat it, if so then you would know that the final form of Vayne(The one with all the metal wings and stuff) is ******** hard, I beat the game at lvl 65, and he was hard as ******** for me, and I had the best equips and spells. Also, did you bother with any of the sidequests, like obtaining the Espers or going after some of the more difficult hunts? the espers were always a good chalenge, since each one has a condion that makes it more challenging(You have to finish an annoying sidequest then fight two somewhat challenging bosses just to even access Chaos, then fighting him is a pain, as you cannot use the attack command in battle, and he has a nasty habit of draining your ENTIRE PARTY of ALL MP. cuchulainn is hard cuz of the HP Sap that cannot be countered, plus he will reverse your HP and MP, which can kill you easily. Ultima is the most challenging, sicne she rotates through all the restrictions, HP Sap, MP Sap, No Magic, No Items, No Attacking, No Technicks(Like 1000 Needles), and Magnetic Earth. Zodiark wasn't as hard, it was just his Limit Attack typically brought instant death to the enire party(Meaning switching out to the reserves) in addition to the dark-elemental damageplus, when he gets to HP-Critical, he puts up a Paling making him immune to physical damage, and puts up a magical barrier that leaves him immune to magic. Meaning you only get a few seconds to pelt him with either magic or an attack when one of those barriers goes down for a few seconds. Which is something I liked, they made all monsters and bosses start using deadly or annoying skills and attacks when they get to HP-Critical, and the Status ailment called Disease sucks hard as, as it makes your max HP equal to your current HP, meaning if you get killed, you revive at a Max HP of 1 until you heal the status. Mainly, like I said, the only reason I played it to the end, was for the challenging battles you access late in the game.
But anyway, I stil recommend Rogue Galaxy, it will keep you occupied for a good 80 hours or so, plus it is fun, the only thing I did not like was the Monster Rancher ripoff Insectron minigame. Also, it is good if you like having to economize your money and items, ans in order to learn skills in the game, you have to take items and place them in the Revelation Flow, which can be a challenge when trying to space out your spending money on items for Revelations and items for healing and stuff. Oh, and you WILL DIE in this game. A LOT in fact, you will be reviving characters a lot, even at higher lvls the weaker monsters can still give you a hard time if you get cocky, the designers did a good job at making the monsters a challenge even when overleveled

I hear a lot about the game, but I am still iffy if I'll buy it. I rather spend my money on a game I know I like, then I game I may not like.
And I got a few of the summons, and I did like this 100 some odd floor dungon, but other then that, I didn't really care. If I could hardly stand the game as it is, why bother myself with most of the sidequests?
So, how is everyone anyways?

*Shudders* I always hated the 100 floor Pharos Lighthouse, it was annoying, and Reddass was the crappiest guest party member....the only reasont o ever go to that place once you beat it is the underground dungeon underneath it, as has a pretty cool battle against a boss that is invincible until you kill the 4 bosses of the Lighthouse ALL AT ONCE(The giant Turtle, the Giant Fish thing, Fenrir the Tiger, and he Phoenix) Seriously dude, I would have never managed to get through the game if I had not done the sidequests, as they were the only thing that made the game worth playing IMO(They took up almost 70 hours of a 83 hour game from beginning to end)
Also, the Sphere Grid was MUCHWORSE, without using it you really could not beat the game. Seriously, those stupid "No Sphere Gird Game" strategies are bullshit, I've tried them, without the sphere grid you cannot get very far in the game. The License board, on the other hand, just makes the game EASIER for you, you can EASILY beat FF12 without using a single license, it just requires you to do some GOOD OLD-FASHIONED Power-lvling. The Sphere grid allowed your stats to max out completely plus the break limit, whereas the License Board does not influence your actual stat gain, lvling does that instead. The Augments are just there to make it EASIER, adding a SMALL AMOUNT of extra stats, it is like using the Stat-boosting Seeds in the Dragon warrior games, you only get a few and they don't overpower you. in X, you already had character as designated job classes, Lulu as the black mage, etc, and only she could equip the weapons that added to it, yet you could teach all of her skills to everyone else. n 12, it is not about making all o your characters have the same everything, but about being able to form the party you want.....if you hate Ashe, don't use her, use someone else....if you want Fran to be your heavy Physical Character(Like I do) give her a spear or 2-Hand Sword or some high-attack powered weapon and heavy armor, and have her with a single gambit to Berserkl herself so she is always in berserk state. Or, if you want someone else to e that chaacter, do ti to them. I personally prefer to have Frean as my attacker, Penelo as my support character(She heals status ailments, buffs my party and attacks with technicks like Horology and Expose, and I equip her with Light Armor and Hand Bombs) And Ashe as my party leader/Magic User(She is the main healer, attacks with magic and usually has a pole weapon or Dagger and Shield, and I give her mage headgear and Heavy armor) It allows you to make the party YOU want, instead of having to use specific characters in specific ways, and have them branded as that. I actually once did a Barefisted Party too, all 3 girls with Heavy Armor and Light Headgear, and had them all Barefisted with the Brawler Augment and the accessory that increases barefisted damage, and I watched them all punch and kick away at the opponents, it was relly cool, IIRC, Penelo often does a capoiera Kick, and fran does this really sexy upper back kick that shows a nice view of her crotch. and one final thing that made the Sphere grid worse, was that, you could make yourself uber-powerful early in the game by simply raising your sphere lvl until you had acquired enough or all of the stats and abilities. You cannot do that with the license grid, I tested it myself, as I got ALL of the Augments early on, the only thing they really did was increase my HP enough to take a few extra hits, but in the end, even if you max out the License Board, it doesn't help since you have to still purchase the spells and equips to use them, meaning you have to have the money to do so, meaning you have to fight monsters to get money, meaning you have to be lvled enough to take on harder monsters. and the Esper and Quickening spots of the Licence can only be used ONCE, and I mean once as in ONLY ONCE CHARACTER, meaning if Balthier uses a quickening spot, nobody else can use it, and if he obtains the Zalera Summon, nobody else can. And speaking of quickenings, they are crappy on their own, they should only be used if you have a full party of 3 characters whop all have FULL MP, and then get a large quickening chain good enough to trigger the concurrence(a chan of 5 or more usually does the trick) the larges Quickenin Chain I have ever got was 14, and I got the concurrence Whiteout, and even then, it only did a mere 26K damage to a boss that had 1.3 mil HP. Then I died, cuz I had no MP to keep myself healed

Yeah, I just beat Gilgamesh last night. ******** hard as hell battle, he has almost 500K hp and is fast and can combo you 6-7 hits, killing you in a single round. And then his damn dog has over 100K hp, and is annoying on it's own. Plus, each time you knock off a 5th of his HP, he draws another sword and starts using a new skill. And the last two fifths of his HP, you can steal the Genji Hlm and the Genji Armor, which is hard as hell since you will not want to attack him during his second-last fifth until you steal the helm. But it was worth it, beating him earns you Masamune, the best Katana, Ashe has it, but she is only dealing 3Kish at lvl 65, Fran has the Zodiac Sear with Bravery and Berserk, and as I said, she is dealing 9999 constantly. I actually managed to get all the loot needed to obtain the best bombs, so I Penelo still has the HandBomb weapon equipped with those. Did you bother with any of the optional Espers, or did you only fight the 5 storyline ones? Cuz the storyline oens don't have field conditions, but the optional ones do. I liked fighting Zeromus, since you had a NO MAGIC field in place, and he uses gravity spells that knock off your current and max hp, the only way to really survive to to get a good chain going on the Dark Lords that constantly spawn around him, since chain lvl of 2,3, or Max will ofter heal your party a bit, which helps. That is also what makes the optional espers hard, most of them summon minions over and over again. Zalera is particularly annoying with that, as he is invincible while any of his Dead Bones are alive, and you have a 5 minute timer to kill him before he Ejects the party from battle. and talk about ******** up, when fighting Yiazmat, the 51Mil HP Boss, I got him down to his last lifebar(About600K or so) and he cast Reflectga, and I did not expect it, so the enew Spell I had just cast hit him.....SUCKED a**! Renew fully heals the party to Max HP, so he went all the way back up to 51Mil,. A whole 4 hours of fighting down the drain.
If you ever play it again, trust me, the game sucks a** unless you do all the sidequests as soon as they become available, and only progress to the next part of the game once they are all completed. It makes it much more fun, especially toward the end of the game when all the uber-bosses and Mark Hunts become available. Also, doing Mark Hunts allows you to buy really rare and good stuff from the Bazaar merchant, like Bubble elts, which double your max HP, and the best accessory IMO, the Nihalpaoa, which reverses the effects of ITEMs used by the person with the accessory. It is realy cool, be3acause a lot of monsters have high resistences to most status ailments, but with the accessory, if you use, say, a Gold Needle, instead of healign Petrify, it inflicts Petrify, or if you use a Remedy with all 3 Remedy Lores from the License, it will inflict EVERY status ailment in the game, and it ALWAYS inflicts the ailments unless the monster has absolute 100% immunity to it(99% Immunity, they still get it) This is useful for certain boasses and marks, Like Antlion, since he usually will double or even triple his level by eating one of his Killer antises at the start, and using a Remedy will give him a few ailments, one of which is Disease, which means his max HP will always be his current HP, which prevents him from getting into HP Critical state and unleashing his more powerful attacks(I hate how hard bosses get to HP critical then start hitting you ever second LITERALLY)
As for Rogue Galaxy, I got the Demo Disc when I preordered the game, so I could mail it to you if you want me to, and you could test it out there. But, if you liked the gameplay of Kingdom Hearts, you would probably like Rogue Galaxy, as it has similar gameplay(I just like the fact that you can actually MOVE and JUMP in the game, instead of being "Glued to the ground" so to speak)

Wow, then you Ashe sucks, lol. Mine and Izumi's Ashe were doing 10 hits in a row at level 54-59 doing 9,999 each hit.
I did get Zeromus, with Izumi's help.
And why play a game just for the sidequests? That's like liking a song, for only one part of the lyrics. It's crap, to me, hence why I gave it to my girlfriend for free.
Naw that's cool man. I'm ganna have Bob hook me up with a few free rentals at gamezone, and grab that as one of them.
