*battle screen* Wild "NEW USER" appeared!
« on: November 04, 2009, 01:10:13 PM »

I discovered this site through Meeple's GameFAQs sig. After lurking for a while, I decided to sign up, since it seems like a pretty cool place. On GameFAQs, I go by the name of shadow chao 10, though please don't call me that as I despise that name and the Sonic series now.

Meeple will probably recognise me as that crazy Meeple Fantasy 6 fanboy who posts about it in every topic even when it's not remotely related...Well...yeah, that's me <.< I am also a big fan of the FF, FE and KH series, and...well, you should be able to see my taste in games from looking at the list I've posted in the RPG Ratings thread. If you don't recognise a game on there, it's probably an RPG Maker game. It's a crying shame that they're generally unrecognised in RPG communities. I had to refrain from putting every RPG Maker game I've ever played on here, or the list would be almost entirely populated by them. I simply put the ones that could probably pass as real games, not the crazy, clearly fan-made ones like cRaZy_gUy's Journey...not that that game is at all bad - in fact, it would get a 10/10 if I were to place it on this list!

I recently discovered the awesomeness of FFXI, which despite my usual hatred of MMOs, I absolutely love and see as a main series FF game through and through. It saddens me that I dismissed it as a sucky online game when it first came out, as I would have loved to be part of it when it was more active. The plot is possibly the best of the series so far - the only problem being it has even worse pacing than FFXII thanks to the innately grind-heavy nature of it. 20 hours per plot scene, yay! So, yeah, I will likely not be around here too much due to FFXI taking over a large portion of my life >.>

I look forward to being a part of this community and voting on the few matches where I know enough about the games involved to do so. And if you did read all of this, well, thank you! I'll stop here before this post becomes far too long for its own good :p

Welcome, welcome! Try not to get eaten too quickly.

Oh, that goes for the MMO as well.

Yello.

Pleasure to see ya, stick around, I'm going to fail to ruin Zenny/Grefter fun by warning you those are two resident... Well, Zenny's a troll/leprechuan, Grefter I can't call a troll. He's the guy from Men in Hats/xkcd who wears the black hat. That's pretty much the best summary right there.

Anyway, welcome, have fun, don't take anything too seriously - we rarely do.

Sweet, could always use more Meeple Fantasy 6 fanboys.

Djinn uses WELCOME ATTACK! It's super-effective!

Rofl, I just found possibly the most awesome thing I've ever read.

http://socksmakepeoplesexy.net/index.php?a=ff11

The funny thing is that even though I love the game, I actually completely agree with the guy. It sucks your life away completely.

Only things I disagree with are a) the story being bad (Seriously? Wow...although I can see how it would get annoying with the dialogue being merged with party chat - I haven't gotten to the point where I party for missions yet), and b) the community being bad (they're all extremely helpful and I already know a lot of great people on my linkshell). Other than that, extremely accurate and entertaining review. Definitely a must-read.

I also lol'd at:

As a Red Mage, my task was to cast Paralyze, Slow, Dia, and Bio (always in that order)

...Dia and Bio don't stack  :D Poor guy wasting his time casting both of them...

If you don't recognise a game on there, it's probably an RPG Maker game.

Ohoh. RPGMaker.

I'll join the rest and drop in with a generic message regarding my heartfelt and earnest feelings of joy at the receipt of the message topping this page as they present reasonable evidence to assume we're to enjoy seeing a new face around.

Or something like that. I'm going to go ahead and refer to you as a 'he' from now onward, regardless of whether or not it is correct. It's for my sanity.

I found FFXI awful. I was a White Mage though and my parties always ever had me heal heal heal buff buff buff and re-cast it in the same darn order every time. fffff

The 'congratulations' thing in the FFXI article made me think of the last episode of Evangelion. Ha. FFXI is Instrumentality.

Sadly, I'll never pay for a MMORPG because it's a MMORPG and that usually means repetitive grinding.

...I'm going to assume this is shadow chao 10, based on his claim of MF6 ranting and the 3 games he mentioned I know he likes and such (well, wouldn't have known FE...if I didn't see his sig recently...)

In any case...uh...welcome?

I did mention my GameFAQs name - in fact, one sentence before the thing about MF6, which you did notice -  so I'm not sure how you managed to miss that >_>

Somehow I totally missed that!  I'm good at that kind of stuff.

Thanks, Zenny. Now I'm picturing Meeple in a Ghostbusters T-Shirt and mussed up hair like David Spade in that SNL "Geek, Dweeb or Spaz" sketch.

That makes me happy, because that was the image I wanted to come across.
