Okay, so, before I deal with what you've actually said, I'd just like to thank you guys :) I am used to forums where if you ask massively basic questions like this you'd sometimes either extremely unhelpful answers or worse, ones that are loaded with sarcasm. So thank you. @iSmiff - I was...

Hi everyone, First of all, I am not sure I'm posting in the right place, so moderators, please move this thread to the appropriate place if necessary. I tried to post this a while ago but for some reason it wouldn't post. I am therefore trying again now. Also everybody, I'm sorry about the...

I did French in school for seven years straight (5 of which were obligatory) and then when I got to uni my now ex-girlfriend, who is Belgian, helped me to bring that up quite a lot. I find that with French and German, people seem to look only to the two "main" countries that speak each - France...

I started German when I was 8 because I met someone whose family spoke it - I then learnt it from them, although it was never a spoken agreement as such, I just heard it a lot, and eventually just started talking back in German. I can't quite explain it really! I then carried it on in school and...

Hi! I've been learning languages for about 15 years, since I was about 8 or so. I teach French, German and Russian privately and am a Teaching Assistant for the same three plus Spanish. Why did you choose those three languages? And how long have you been learning them? I taught English in...

I see your point :) The more I think about it, the more I am coming around to the idea that it is more to do with Tidus' quest and yearning to go home. I have probably stuck to my guns at this point though just because, as you said, it is down to our own individual interpretation. I would prefer...

I feel like my favourite character in FFIX should be Zidane. He's clever, he's cheerful, he's got a good sense of humour, he's strong emotionally and physically, he's supportive of his friends, he was merciful, he was no nonsense. He was also a stark contrast to Squall and Cloud, which I felt...

Well, if truth be told I probably haven't attempted to beat her in the last ten years, maybe even longer than that. Thanks for the tips though. I doubt now that I will have very much difficulty with her. When I used to play, I didn't really adopt that much of a strategy. I just sort of hit her...

I assumed Bahamut was going to be sitting comfortably atop the list. There are quite a lot of summons I like but equally many others I hardly know at all. I'll talk about a few of my favourites. First of all, I voted for Shiva. She's pretty, she's powerful, she has a massive aura of confidence...

Okay, so I'll read about VI and XII today, but I'd like to ask you all about your reasons for liking VI or not liking XII? @Evee - Thanks for your encouragement with my Italian. I thought I'd make a mistake with the last sentence as it was the most complicated, but did you understand what I...

Welcome to the forum! I'm new here, like you. I don't know the answer to your recruiting question but I suspect the answer may be "no". I'll let someone else answer for sure though. You've got further in VIII than I did. I could never beat Sorceress Adel. But I wonder whether that was because I...

Considering how long I've been playing this series, it's surprising how many of them I haven't actually played. I haven't played... I - I am almost a little worried about playing this one. I'm not sure why I'm worried about it because I'll always love the Final Fantasy instalments that I grew...

I am a bit taken-aback by how I seem to have got something so simple so utterly wrong. I agree that Tidus becomes less selfish throughout the story and I definitely agree that he's kind of annoying, but I just thought the reason it looked like Tidus's story was because of the way it was told...

I've always seen Tidus as being pretty centred around himself. He constantly goes on about how this is *his* story and even though he does seem to get out of this frame of mind gradually throughout the game, towards the end he still goes on about how it's *his* story and he'll end it when he...

Ciao Evee, Grazie molte per il caloroso benvenuto! Ho intentione di giocare FFXII di nuovo, mai primo di tutto devo comprare un altro sistema PS! Penso che tu abbia ragione: Ho sempre pensato che la serie sia morta con FFX. Il sistema ATB era un elemento caratteristico della serie senza cui...

I think the first time I really struggled in battle was against Evrae. I thought that I'd trained well up to that point, until I actually fought her. She wiped the floor with me well over a dozen times for various reasons. Firstly, her poison attack did a ridiculous amount of damage and I don't...

Diolch yn fawr! I know you have to learn Welsh in school, my cousins have to as well and most of them hate it. One of them loves to speak Welsh around me because she loves knowing a language I don't know very well! I am actually on my way to Wales tomorrow to visit my family. I will soon be...

Hi! I'm not sure whether it was the way I worded my first post or not, but I didn't dislike Tactics or Final Fantasy IV at all. I found Tactics to be a bit different and it was the first time I'd ever seen the class system before that I remember, but I thought it was great. It was nice to...

Maechen was one of my favourite non-playable characters because he added to the history of the world and made it more three-dimensional. We learnt a lot about Spira through him and his awesome voice - nothing that was in any way really important, but things that brought Spira to life more than...

My favourite characters in Final Fantasy X were Auron, Yuna and Lulu. To begin with, I found Yuna to be a bit... tragic. I liked looking at her and that was about it. She was a doormat, quite similar to the way I was as I was growing up. I really wanted her to stop apologising and defend...
