Realtime battle system!?!? That means I have to forgo my toilet break during battle. You know some battles just go on and on and on...like the ones dealing with the final boss in each disc.

yeah!!! Lol, u gonna have to go before u start playing XD. Plan everything out Choki!!! :evil: :lol: :lol:

I hate real time battles, because first of all - u can't stop and think of what u r doing, and the enemies come out of nowhere (in this version of Final fantasy there wont be a different "battle screen", u just battle as u go). And also - if u stop playing the game for like a week - its harder to get into it.

Lol, you sounded like this FF12 is going to give you a heart attack :lol:
I just know I get real busy everytime I play a game. My mum yells for me, my bladder isn't working well (I suspect I have a small bladder), I get thirsty, I wanna eat while playing and many more :razz:

Bring on Half-Life 2 and Doom 3! - Games i'm most looking forward to at the moment.
The best RPG of all time has to be Chrono Trigger. Though Final Fantasy 2 was also lovely...

I'm not a big fan of consoles to be honest. They're all right for sport games, and okay for RPGs... But PCs rock for first person shooters and strategy games! I've been playing A LOT of "Call of Duty" recently, over the internet and LAN. Tis great :)

Yes, I have become a rather obsessed gamer since I peeled myself away from this forum ;p

hehe, Excellent :)
Somehow I think I'm going to have to upgrade from my Radeon 256mb 9600 pro Before Half Life 2 comes out, though. It isn't really that beefy...

I've been eyeing up some of those X800s :) But yeah. HL2 looks pretty nice :)

The alpha of Doom 3 runs alright on this machine, although not perfectly. I suppose the actual game will run a bit more smoothly though.

Good to see another first person shooter lover on here ;)

My husband and I have a collection of video games, and it's funny, because you can look at them and tell which are his and which are mine, and they rarely intersect.

His include every Final Fantasy known to man (on every platform available), any Legend of Zelda games, the Metal Gear games, and the Grand Theft Auto (that's an after-eight game) games.

He's kind enough to play Chocobo Racing with me, because it's one of the few I like. Actually, just about all of mine are kiddie games. I have Harry Potter and the SS, and CoS, on Game Cube, but I can't beat the fight against Quirrell, even though the game level is kind of like for a two-year-old, so I feel like a moron. *shrug*

We also play stuff like Tetris and stuff together... anything easy enough for me to play and be a challenge for Todd (I'm better at puzzle games and stuff, so I get to help him with the puzzle parts of his RPG games, too)
