Yeah that's what I'm probably going to do. Just need to see if I can get something going with the junk I have in my many drawers

edit: or I might go for a neuros video recorder, like the one neil has

Just get a Blackmagic Intensity. It's a great card for the price and does Full HD rec. Just make sure you got a RAID 5 or so, otherwise your HDD will be to slow to do HD recordings.

Will FF7 come?

interman · 07-27-2008, 04:25 PM

Yeah, sometime in august. Still technically on vacation, so I don't have access to a bunch of stuff.

Magus · 08-07-2008, 09:31 PM

Can't wait

KamisoriX · 08-07-2008, 10:25 PM

I hope it never gets done

interman · 08-07-2008, 11:12 PM

HATER. I'm back at my place now, so I'll get started with vii pretty soon if things go as planned.

Ok so some of you probably remember that I never actually did finish FFIV before the summer holiday. Well today I did. It took a little while to remember where I was and how things worked, but to recap a little we had just been kicking butt on the moon, gotten a bunch of crystals, and were heading towards the moon core.

Getting there wasn't super exciting, but at least it meant a change of scenery. By the way, sorry about the quality of the screenshots. The app messed up and gave me lower res images, which I had to increase in Photoshop. Still, you can sort of make out what's going on.

Before facing the final boss you can fight a bunch of minibosses that protect the epic weapons that we know from the previous games, like Ragnarok, Masamune, Holy Lance, and so on.

These guys started showing up, casting libra to find HP and weaknesses. Guess I'm getting closer.

Moon-guy and the ex-bad guy kicking some butt.

Zemus' older brother pops out of nowhere.

And he doesn't die as easily.

Golbeze gives us a crystal

Which when used turns Zeromus into his true form, where he can be injured.

And this is what he looks like. The fight itself is fairly easy, and without too many surprises. He casts moderately strong / really strong attacks, but with cure4 (the strongest healing spell) and life2 (resurrect at full hp) they're not too crazy.

And this is what he looks like when he blows up. The ending is pretty boring, just so you know.

Thoughts about the game:
The first of the SNES games, and probably a pretty huge deal when it came out. The story is nice and FF-y, and the game mechanics work well. You don't have to micro manage too much in this game, though some grinding will probably be needed here and there. It took me a bit over 30 hours from start to finish, and if you haven't played it be sure to check it out on DS. The graphics and audio are obviously inferior to FFV and VI, but still, not bad at all.

PS: I have FFVII running and working well. Look for an update reasonably soon
