Final Fantasy VIII

[Volkenheim]

Yeah. Tonberry was only good as a common enemy rather than a summon. Actually, it was considered one of most dangerous monsters in the series because its Chef's Knife was supposed to kill a character in one blow while its counter-attack, Everyone's Grudge (aka Karma), has damage that can dramatically increase according to the number of monsters that were killed throughout the game (especially mini-bosses and bosses). Also, they were said to have high HP.

the tonberries were easy when i used Squall's special attack (been so long since i played it that i forgot the attack's name) i was able to wipe all of them out easily. I also like Diablo. I mean he's an evil genie, which is awesome  

[Volkenheim]

You must've used my "Going All-Out!!! MAXIMUM CARNAGE, FTW!!!" strategy... biggrin It usually works...As for Diablo, he's has got to be one of the most coolest GFs ever, FTW!

probably xd xd xd xd when i first played it, i completely bypassed the GF, Alexander, when I fought Edel (is that it? i forgot her name? not the one who kidnapped Rinoa, but the one who "killed" Squall)  

[Volkenheim]

It's actually Edea, but you were close enough. smile Anyways, I loved Alexander; this dude was like a super robot, appearing from the mountains and shooting all these giant beams of holy energy that burned the crap out of each enemy on the screen!  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

he was the ultimate robo-knight!!!!! xd xd xd xd xd xd  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

i've never played IX, so i need to look that up.  

[Volkenheim]

Final Fantasy IX is a pretty good game, too. Also, some of the 3D character models were improved a little and the storyline is interesting, but a bit more complex.  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

interesting. i think the next time i go to the swap meet, i'll go and pick it up.  

[Volkenheim]

Wonderful! You would possibly enjoy it! Also, the summons are incredible, especially Odin! xd  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

who looks cooler? the FFVIII version or the FFIX version of Odin?  

[Volkenheim]

OH MAN! That's a real tough question! Well, I would say that FFIX Odin is much cooler! You should look at his summon video on YouTube; it's really awesome! Also, he looks like a undead warrior because his whole body is much bulkier and he has a creepy looking head with a creepy look in his eyes.

But you wanna know who's even cooler? Ark! This dude is like an real Transformer! He transforms from airship to super robot and destroys everything!  

[DJ Arctic Wolf]

is Ark also from FFIX?  

[Volkenheim]

Yes. He was actually an "exclusive" (brand new) Eidolon (that's what the FFIX world calls them) to the game so I don't think he appeared in any other games....
