The problem with FFX-2 was that all the heroines got their brain reduced or entirely taken out, replaced by a mix of pop, j-pop, pink and crap. That's about it. After the good drama story of FFX, we got some wannabe-britney and her little pony princess gang. The shock was too much.
It still had a fun battle system, but the story.. meh. Oh and I liked Yuna's voice, so her narration was ear-pleasant. That's about all. Music was terrible (because it wasn't made by the usual people aka Uematsu - and it was pop-based), save 1000 words and Eternity/Memory of lightwaves (simple, yet fantastic one). There was no romance at all (not even the angst I expected). Storyline sucked.
Well, at least the battles were fun.

Quote: To answer your earlier claim, Ivalice being a continent, it is not likely as it is clearly said there being three continents in Ivalice therefore making Ivalice something larger than a continent, a world.
I was indeed mistaken in saying that Ivalice is a continent (although, in FFT, it's just a country, if I'm not mistaken), but it's not the whole world. I think that in Revenant Wings, the party goes to a part of the world that isn't Ivalice.

I tried opening the magical lamp and not surprisingly there was a tough fight I saw that diablos is hurt a lot if you cast his own demi against him but draw usually fails. Should I try to take him on or is he too strong for now and I'm wasting my time? For the record I'm a little after the train incident on my way to the tv station.

I am usually able to defeat him, and draw all the demis(or most, at least) I can from him right after I receive the lamp. Though, I do a lot of drawing of other magic, from other creatures earlier in the game, so I do have that magic being junctioned to my stats helping out.

if you find diablos too hard, wait until your siren learns her skill, then refine 10 tents into 100 curagas and junction them. It should give the "crisis HP" point at 800, which is pretty safe and enables you to go limit after limit, possibly on Zell (strongest limit break), with selphie casting cure after each attack.
I am always able to beat him outright, tho ;p

IIRC, the trick with Diablos is to inflict Blind on him (I don't remember if that's possible) and kill him with Limits.

This depends totally on the drawing character's magic stat.

I don't think any basic status magic works on Diablos. Maybe meltdown does, but that's a pretty advanced one ;p

I can't believe this crap I just wasted I don't know how much time and the damn game got stuck. Zell escaped, went 1st floor to find the hidden save(found nothing even though I equipped him with siren and the ability that is supposed to find hidden things), went back at floor 8, got the weapons, defeated Wedge and Biggs, found Squal and that's where it happened PLEASE tell me there is a save around there, the game crashes too often for my liking..

No clue. Check something like Gamestop or something, just make sure to only check that part, or else there are too many spoilers. (If I get stuck with no save points or something I break down and check there). As for x-2 I actually enjoyed the storyline. The battle system was interesting, and (i know this sounds girly) the costume changes were fun.

Second time the game gets stuck after an hour playing this goddamn stage, maybe third. I give up on the game this is retarded. No save point after I don't remember how long dialogues and then another length run, just wow.

There are a lot of savepoints there

I can hardly believe it but I checked youtube and there is a save, only it was hidden in one black spot in my version.. I installed the nvidia patch and it didn't help me get rid of those.

As I told you you can change to software graphics to get rid of those black spots but the graphics will kinda suck then and the game may lag.
It seems that modern nvidia cards do not have support for the 8-bit colours any more. I've heard about some launcher that might work but no idea as I never had those problems.

PC version is a total crap.
Try epsxe. With a few tweaks it looks good, never gets any errors, has built in instant save-load and if your PC is powerful, you can get sick FPS without the limiter (I can get 900 fps) which speeds the game 15 times, great to skip some of the parts you want to skip lol (and its controllable with F4 key )
eidos did a pathetic conversion btw, PC versions of FF7 and FF8 work on nothing but the ancient machines that were present those days.
Well-coded games work on everything, even XP.
oh btw I'm re-playing ff8 too atm. Going solo Zell (all other party members are always dead and I keep it that way). It's too easy (yeah the game is easier when going solo char ^^). Punch rush and booya doing 1000 damage per hit to minotaur and sacred haha lol.
Did I mentioned I have almost 90 spr and vit at the begining of disc 2? ^_^
Just knew where to draw and what to junction ;p go immortal zell!
Tip: To make this game ultra easy..
1.Kill some red bats or use card mod on red bat cards
2. Five of the items they drop (vampire fangs) can be refined into 100 drains
3. 100 drains junctioned to ST-A = 100% "vampirism"
4. Combine it with Diablos' Darkside attack that triples your damage and drains 10% of your life after each att.. the drawback is gone and you do sick sick damage each hit

Well both FF7 and FF8 work perfectly on mine.
And this is not as ancient as you might think.
core2duo, ati x1600, xp, jada jada jada...
...and so on.
But a crashing game sucks.
I know 'cause I playd the KotORs and they used to crash with a german schedule.

Seems I have been missing some things. Btw Joonas was telling me that you can get a double damage attack with correct timing, how exactly does that work? Same buttom as the one you use to attack in the first place? Also I saw in youtube someone doing something and gaining limit break attack when previous there was only an attack option. He must have pressed something, any ideas?
