Awful. LandonRay makes another impossible game for anyone who isn't super duper "living in their mom's basement" hardcore. In this one you're supposed to play triple triad and grind for 20+ hours at the beginning of the game, get every ultimate weapon, all higher tier magic, etc. THEN you have somewhat of a decent chance to progress through the game without mashing the reset button on every single boss.
Very similar to the criminally bad FFT 1.3 Tactics mod. In both mods you have to BREAK the game to win (that is, if you don't throw your controller at the wall or bash your console in and break it that way first).
I got up to the very end of disk 1 fighting Seifer on the float. He cast flare for 4k on my Squall who had about 2k health (100 curagas on health, Squall was lvl 16 I think, high health and low level for that point in the game, or so I thought). I think it was then or maybe a couple seconds later I got up, turned my console off and calmy threw the disk in the trash can.
Oh, and I just love reading some of these posts on the forum:
"YAYYY!!! WOOHOOO!!!!! I JUST PLAYED TRIPLE TRIAD FOR 40 HOURS AND GRINDED BALAMB BEACH FOR 50 HOURS (REMEMBER TO TURN EVERY MONSTER INTO A CARD!!), AND NOW ZELL CAN PWN SO EASY WITH 100 TORNADOES STR, 100 METEOR MAGIC, 100 ULTIMA SPRT, DUEL LIMIT BREAK 50 ACTIONS/MILISECOND!!!. WOOHOO!! NOW ONTO THE FIRST DOLLET MISSION, HOPE IT GOES ALRIGHT!!!!!"
Sorry, I don't want to play ff8 like that.
Next.
After going a bit further have noticed a couple more things. The End has shown up a few times in Slot already, I used it for 11500 damage!! She was on lv 12!
