What Did You Do In Gaming Today

Nice job, dude. ^^ ^^ I remember the first few times I played FFX I never even know that hulking fiend could be pushed off of the cliff to get key spheres. There's so many things I didn't do right in my first couple of games on FFX. >< >< Live and learn though, right? Because I've been better at the game with each New Game which I usually do when I've forgotten major parts of the plot or most of the plot. Unfortunately I can forget a lot of it if I spend too much time grinding in battles. ^^; ^^; Since Dark Aeons are in the HD Remastered release of FFX/X-2 though, I don't have much of a choice but to do a LOT of grinding to max out the whole party's stats in order to beat them. I literally have to go through some of those to get certain things like Auron's Spheres for his Overdrive. Fortunately there's a lot of help online about how to do that though, so I might have to copy and paste that information in a Notepad file and save it to my Chromebook like I usually do with information on games unless I just bookmark it. Sometimes we get weather though that basically makes our wifi unusable until the weather clears, so it really is better for me to copy and paste the information in a Notepad file. >< >< ><

lol That actually made me laugh after I read that laugh at the end. XD

 

Hey, @Zeref and @Sakura, I'll be picking it up again, but I do need to mention how early in FFX I am which is in Baaj Temple where Tdus gets attacked by a Klikk and Rikku eventually makes an explosive entrance just in time to help him beat it. ^^ ^^ ^^ Hopefully I'll FINALLY be able to see the ending and have a feeling of earning the ending as a reward for all the hard work I intend to put into the game. ^^ ^^ Time for some fun, my friends!! < 3

WOOO FFX CREW  lol

I would not have known about the key spheres either if not for the fact I read through a guide before I complete each section to make sure I don't miss any parts on doing it this time around. Before in previously playing it I remember just killing it. The AP is good for leveling but I feel it is more important to have key spheres since it is still fairly earlier on in the game and they can come more handy in unlocking for the sphere grid. I find having that game guide to refer to is very helpful when you want to complete it properly and not miss items that you can't come back to and get later. 

You will probably catching up with us very quickly since we only play it after I finished work or after Serey gets home. Then only for 1-2 hours a day which isn't much with gaming I guess  I usually spend a lot of time training where a lot of people don't do this as much as I do. I hope you complete it we can all urge each other to finish the game. 

In FFX today I arrived at the mushroom rock gate area where the Crusaders have blocked off the area to even summoners and not letting people pass and to prepare for Operation Mi'ihen. Seymour comes and let's you through to the next part where you find out the Al Bhed are using machina. I got all the way up to the part where the next boss battle starts with Sinspawn Gui. There are 2 parts to this battle and then Operation Mi'ihen starts which I will see all the cut scenes for this area and finish after dinner. 

I won't be catching up with you as fast as you might expect because I'm at the Al Bhed ship Rikku and her brother use to excavate the sunken airship and I like to get Tidus' Blitz Ace Overdrive there since there's an option to return to the ship which means having HP replenished at the Save Sphere. So, I'll be a while. ^^; I must be somewhat of a perfectionist when it comes to my games, but I'm not really sure why that is. o.0 It'll take a good while to get that though, so I don't think I'll be able to catch up to you for a while, especially since the Dark Aeons are in the HD Remastered version of the game. >< ><

@Sakura and @Zeref are playing the PS2 version and I think it's the North American release which doesn't have the Dark Aeons in it, so we're playing different versions of FFX, but it's still fun. I'll just have to steer clear of the Dark Aeons which seriously become an impasse without maxed stats. x.x

Yes correct we are not playing the version with dark aeons. 

I did play FFX this evening and I am still playing it. I got through this Operating Mi'ihen part of the game and Mushroom Rock area. I went into Djose Temple cloister of trials and completed it and got the aeon Ixion. Continued to fighting Belgemine again this time fighting her ixion and won this very easy. Now I am saved at the area where the shoopuff creature is that you ride to cross the waters. I will probably go back and finish this part tonight before I go to sleep.

Yessss ^ This  Anime Forums FFX crew  I am mostly just watching Pessi @Zeref play but I also play on his characters to work on the sphere grid when he is working or something lol 

[Zeref]

The FFX saga continues. 

I went through the shoopuff cut scenes where Yuna is kidnapped again by the Al Bhed. I went through the boss battle for the extractor and went through the moonflow area to get to Guadosalam. Currently I am at Seymour's house there right after the first cut scene.

In FFX on Switch I've gotten Tidus to learn his Energy Rain Overdrive from using his Overdrive attack repeatedly, but I've found out that it doesn't matter if it gets the added damage or not from the prompt just before the attack hits the enemy to count toward learning the next of his 4 Overdrives. So, I should have him learning Blitz Ace here soon and then after reaching Besaid I'm sure I'll level up Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, and I might as well get Tidus to participate so he can improve further, too. The Dark Aeons in the HD Remastered versions make it pretty frustrating if you want to go to a certain area you've gone to before to get something you missed since you literally have to finish them off to get to whichever area you're trying to get to. I know one thing, I don't look forward to The Dark Magus Sisters. That'll be interesting though, but I'll have to max out everyone's stats in order to stand a chance against those Dark Aeons. Fortunately there's online guides describing how to do so now. ^^ ^^ As soon as Tidus learns Blitz Ace I'll have him and Rikku proceed through the story. ^^ ^^ ^^

Lulu is my favorite character to level up aside from Auron. Lulu and Auron seem to be best damage dealers every time I play from what I can see. I love the fact Lulu uses magic too and magic is usually the type of character I go for in a game. Are you good at unlocking Tidus' Jecht Shot ability? I had to practice it a bunch in order to be able to unlock it. 

Right now I'm in the GuadoSalem area I mentioned yesterday and getting ready to proceed with that. I haven't gotten much further today since there was the fire in the building and work to do today.

I love Lulu too  
We played this today and are up to the part of the Thunder Plains just for an update on Pessi and I's game play. I honestly hate this area so much lol It's annoying to get across and all the stuff with Rikku I find a lil annoying too x.x There's also stuff in far ends of the place so you have to run all over it and keep getting hit by lightning to get to the chests n' stuff.

Yes this is where we were. I finished the Thunder Plains area, I don't like it too much myself only because there isn't any really good part of the story in it for me. The scenes in it seem boring so I always like to hurry through this area as fast as possible.

I was fighting with weekly boses in Genshin

[Zeref]

In Macalania Woods in FFX now. I hate fighting the chimeras here. They always seem to pop up a lot and you have to save a lot. It is good for training here but I don't really want to train in this area. The random encounter rate here seems very high compared with other places so makes it harder. There is a mini game here with the butterfly hunt and you get the Saturn Sigil I did here. I find this to be time consuming and annoying too lol. I did it anyway to have it done with. 

After this I had the boss battle with the Spherimorph at the pool of water in the forest. This battle always seemed a bit difficult to me compare to some of the others because of the attacks. It absorbs magic attacks of any kind except the one it is currently weak to. It is a little hard to figure out what element it is weak to when it changes. The press attack it uses a lot damages half HP to all members in the party. 

I am now in the Lake Macalania area saved by Rin's Travel Agency where I will picking back up playing in a little while.

As the BFF and FFX assistance I dutifully watching him do (most) of this and helped advance the sphere grid lol ~

I skipped out on playing FFX today, sorry FFX crew. Instead I played Fortnite with some friends but was really not interested in it at all since I haven't played in some time. I mostly just came to play because I was asked to by some friends I haven't played games with in a couple months. Tomorrow back to the FFX saga. 

[Sakura]

I just played Neo, did my daily plot points, battles, daily quests, etc. All I really feel like doing. This 1st week back at school is hitting me hard lol feels like it should be Friday and it's only frikken Tuesday @.@ Zapped the will to play games right out of me. 

[Zeref]

Getting ready to play FFX and pick up where I left off. I am in the Laka Macalania region. I watched the part of the scene where the Lord Jyscal sphere was found and you find out what Seymour did. I won't say in case of a spoiler. Then went into the battle with Seymour and his guards. In this battle I did the battle the way @Sakura recommended to be funny using Rikku's coin attack and killed him this way

[Sakura]

I jumped on OSRS a little today and woodcut alone. It's weird being on there after the clan split up. I'm still friends with everyone regardless of if they left the clan or stayed in it after the drama incident but it just doesn't feel the same, to the point I just keep my friends chat off because I don't feel like talking to anyone when I am on  I don't really want to be in this new clan I'm in so I'm thinking I'll probably leave it here soon. A lot of my friends moved to it after the clan split but there is over 600+ people in this clan and that isn't really for me. I have always liked smaller clans and I liked ours so much because there was only 50-60 people and at most 18ish people on at a time, you could talk and form groups and actual connections.

I also haven't really tried either to form any connections with this new clan everyone went to so I guess part of that is on me. I'm not much of a talker though so I tend to get overlooked because I can't talk in settings where all these people are talking at once that I don't know which is why I usually prefer smaller clans. But enough rambling about that I guess. 

On Neo I did my plot points, a new act II dropped so there is new bosses, prizes, plot point stuffs and story line ^^ I also met a friend on there a weekish ago and we've been chatting nonstop and sending cute lil gifts to each other and helping each other out and it's been really fun! Always nice to have someone to play a game with that you just vibe with. 

[Zeref]

I played OSRS today with friends and fished and did some bossing and raids with them. I got some decent drops and was happy with that.

This is why I didn't joined to this clan, for now I want to be single without the clan until I find some small group again to enjoy it with. 

[Sakura]

I was playing OSRS tonight, trying to get back into it. I played with a friend (and I'm still playing at the moment), chopping logs, but nowhere near a woodcutting level. Since I'm at 95, a level is so far away lol x.x I caught up with some other friends on there who I haven't talked to in a couple weeks too who were really happy to see me and that made me feel nice :3 

[Zeref]

Finished the Macalania cloister of trials this morning on FFX. After getting out of it you are considered traitors of Yevon since the boss battle with Seymour happened and have to flee the area. I finished the boss battle with the Wendigo which after it you fall through the ice of the lake and end up in the area below it. After this part you reunite with everyone and get on the airship before crashing and now I am in the Oasis area of the Sanubia Desert at the first save sphere. 

[Sakura]

I played OSRS today but I didn't do much. I feel like I chopped trees for hours and am no closer to my level lol ~ That's what happens when you get in the 90s range for a level though, feels like you can do something all day long for a week and be no closer x.x Unless it's something that levels fast like Construction or Herb, but Woodcutting feels like you make negative progress sometimes I swear @.@ 

[efaardvark]

Explored an ancient city.  Hi there!

[Zeref]

Played OSRS with @Sakura mostly just for fun since there was not a lot of work project to work on today until another person finishes a part. We have been doing some bosses, and I was teaching her some more raids on it. Tonight I think I'll play some more FFX.
