I still have yet to play X-2. We were talking about it today in the Japanese tutoring lab.

WheninRome,doastheRomansdo ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ In terms of gameplay and battle system, X-2 is my favorite of the Final Fantasy series. Fanservice and Charlie's Angels-esque party aside, I enjoyed it for how expansive it was, allowing for awesome replay value. If you played FF III/V, it's similar in that you get the different job classes, and can switch between them. Except you equip them as Dresspheres on Garment Grids, which may grant bonuses like ability to cast certain spells or passive stat bonuses. You can then switch between them during battle, which can also grant additional spells/skills/bonuses if you pass through colored nodes. Then each dressphere(job) has abilities you must learn to access, including skills/spells, as well as passives like poisonproof or auto-regen. There are also grids/accessories that allow access to spells/skills of other dresspheres if you have learned them, so the customization is pretty wide. The blue magic was a bit of a pain, as it reverted to the old system of having to be hit by the spell to learn it, and each girl must be hit by it to learn it themselves. And I liked that the ultimate skills/spells can only be accessed by passing through nodes on certain grids. The games version of limits is "special Dresspheres" which are unique to each girl, and have three parts as an entire party. Enemies also still ahve the usual steal and bribe options for farming items, as well as a pilfer gil option to steal money, and the Lady Luck dressphere has a reels jackpot that gives bribe items, yet pays you the bribe money instead of taking, and even still grants exp/gil/items after battle. Enemies can also Oversoul if enough of the same species is defeated, which gives it boosted stats, and a new table for steal/bribe/drop items, additional exp/gil after battle and an increased pilfer gil amount, as well as changing their ai and skill setup. And there is new game plus, which carries over everything except your levels. Also, you can make certain choices throughout the game that affect the storyline, and some stuff can only be earned by certain choices, meaning multiple playthroughs are necessary to obtain everything. And thank the demons of hell the game has a scene skip option for most cutscenes.
Apologies for the tl;dr wall of text. While the game is no Gears of War, Jak & Daxter, or Tales of Phantasia, it remains one of my favorite games of all time.
s**t's a pain in the ******** a** though. Took like 3 hours to fully outline. Another 4-6 to finish the skin. Yes she has a tattoo around her left n****e and has double n****e piercings. She's supposed to have at least 19 body piercings and 7 ear rings. Six in the left and one in the right.

WheninRome,doastheRomansdo ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ Nice! Ar you using a gradient to help with the light?
And wtf, there is nothing wrong with nipples, or boobies. Honestly, and even though I am attracted to boobies(both male and female) I see nothign wrong with aving them out. Well, I also have no problem with nudity, even public, but that's just me. Either way, I would think a little pierced n****e wouldn't violate Gaia's "Tasteful Nudity" that is allowed.
Nope, just different skin tones and the smudge tool. s**t. Is. Pro. Even if it's what 14 year old girls use to look like Sammy Braddy. That aside, yeah I dunno. I'm weary since they banned my sig for two girls hugging in it. confused I was just kinda mentioning that because it would seem odd for someone to have more than one piercing on a n****e unless you were Opearl. Then again, she's got way more wrong than too many body piercings, which I do find hot. But still, although it makes for good fap fodder, being able to double fist your a**s and v****a simultaneous is just like WOW. WAY LOOSE! Creepy porn stars aside and back to point, Gaia is a little odd with the terms of service.

Very true, I remember years ago when I was told to remove my sig picture of Agent Aika's bare a** with the words "Crack - The New Cleavage" even though it was just showing anime crack and nothing else.
Ah well, soon the entire earth will be wiped out(or at least our heroes will be) and new disgusting crazies will take their places. In the meantime, I really wish I could draw decent macho men.
I see. I see. It sucks that we have to do it. But hopefully we'll bring in more people.

WheninRome,doastheRomansdo ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ Well, I made some progress. I moved all our roleplay beginnings to The Old Stuff section, and unlocked the stuff already there. I made some edits and changes to the media section, and got rid of some obsolete threads, like the one on me being MIA a few years ago. changed the guild description, though I'd like some input on something better and less cheesy. I also added an introductions thread, and updated the rules section.
True that. Slowly but surely. I think we should advertise VIA the Guild Forum and I suppose we can scour the RP threads in Barton Town and invite people who we think RP well.
