I enjoyed the battle system in X-2 so hard.

FF12 gambit system was the goddamn balls - they should have kept it as standard. Loved it.

Got it on the VC this morning, but haven't started it up again yet. I intend to play it through the night.

I do, however, have a predicament.

I have 700 points left on my Wii. I can't really think of an NES game that I feel like stroking my boner to, but if I buy another 1000 points, I can get FFII(which I assume, on the NA VC, is actually FFIV), AND another SNES game.
I'm thinking Super Metroid, as I've never played a 2D Metroid before.

HOOOOOOOOOOOWEVER, I can also use that $10 to snag the Super Deluxe x4 Updated FFIV Supreme on the GBA.

Is the Super Deluxe x4 Updated Supreme edition of FFIV, combined with its portability, so much better than the "original" that it's worth skimping out on Super Metroid for?

Terra, few questions.

1. How many games you got going on at the moment?
2. Do you spend any time out, like travelling or something similar?

FF4 and S.Metroid would be awesome purchases, but if you get the chance to spend time out of the house, then FF4GBA would be equally as awesome. Extra dungeons, a music player once beaten, a viewable bestiary, lots of extras.

1.) MANY. Need to wrap up P3(could be done in less than a week), I'm about halfway through Shadow of the Colossus, been playing Okami lately, and, naturally, Final Fantasy.

2.) I don't travel often, but I have been wanting a new portable game for when I do. Especially considering I'm gonna be living in a hotel for a few weeks in a year or so.

hrmgrmble so torn
Might be able to get a Wii Points card as a stocking stuffer this Christmas, so maybe I'll go with FF4GBA.

COULD be.

As in, if I ever got around to it.

But Orpheus is being a whiny little bitch and refusing to inherit Black Viper, Maragidyne, and Spell Master.

Which is very discouraging.

Not really, there's a lot of glitches in the GBA version as a result of it being ported over from the Wonderswan. The DS version's more of a remake; I haven't played it, I'll defer to the expert's opinion.

And then Terra came to the realization that he hadn't been equipping any of his gear at all, and the Fighter had just been tossing out 40 damage per attack with his bare fucking fists.

And then Terra felt like an idiot, and began wondering if the game was going to be ez-modo now.

Seriously. I beat Garland with no gear at all. None.
What the hell.

I'll be honest, after two whole playthroughs, I haven't had a single problem with the GBA remake, but a quick google brings up an glitch that, to be fair, is one I think you'd have to deliberately go out of your way to activate (the "use a potion on someone, then move them to an empty slot, then select Items again to crash the game" glitch). I never had that problem, but its obviously there.

The DS version is a 3D remake, but its the Japanese difficulty, which means it'd have Terra in tears before the end of the fucking intro. Srsly, its not even funny.

Easy mode didn't hit the FF series until FFVII, when you could have the three strongest characters assume any role you wanted.

I've been wanting a really difficult game!
Perhaps I will use this opportunity!

FFIVDS will fuck yo shit up. It adds nothing other than an increased difficulty and an all-new 3D perspective (like FF3DS, which is neat enough), but for me, can't beat the good old 16-bit look.
