Why I stopped using blender: FFXII

Final Fantasy XII.

it is the best game I’ve played since final fantasy tactics, or maybe zelda ocarina of time. pathetic, huh? I also have a new new job being a tape monkey (or tape susanne to the initiated) at this place: www.charlex.com . it’s right above vault manager in terms of coolness but seriously, some of their shit is amazing. and the job is 9:00 to 7:30. ouch. leaves not much time for blender. the old place wasn’t cutting it either, it was the worst run business I have ever encountered in my life, I saw our idiot manager lose three clients because he was rude arrogent and just plain stupid with them on the phone…
seriously, I could say some of the crazy shit about that place but I don’t want to burn any bridges.

awww…

I wish I had a PS2 and not an XBox.

the day you lose the faith in sony (the day you get an xbox) … psone, ps2; i have faith brother, ps3 will shine. If final fantasy stops coming out for the playstation i’ll have to get something else but till then.

Word man, I love FFXII. My guys are only like lvl 20 or so right now, but it’s gotten started up and it’s getting really fun.

That and Neverwinter Nights 2 are dominating my free time right now…

how was that linux version of neverwinter nights 2… did it happen or not… ?
i loved the first one and was really looking forward to the second but i heard it might be win only :frowning:

The 2nd one is buggy as all hell on Windows so I don’t see a Linux version anytime soon until they can get the Windows one off the ground.

Think Oblivion times Morrowind in terms in bugginess

I’m sorry, I had no idea I was taking away people’s free will…

So here I was, on the front page of the forum, and I see “why I stopped using blen…”

Oh dear, another ranting post.

Then I clicked on it and laughed.

You’re lucky.
I can’t get FFXII until February…

11

Which means they have all of the bugs we won’t have :wink:
Plus, by the time it has reached Europe (after passing through Japan and the US) they may have added some content (you know, minor thingies… like “Ribbon” for instance).

OMFG:eek:
Do you mean to say that US and japanese players can’t protect from all status effects at once?!

13

Yeah, I’ll be getting that game soon with a new video card.
Neverwinter Nights is probably my biggest time consuming game. I have been playing it over the last four years and I still play it. Maybe we’ll cross online on one of the many PWs that will popup :stuck_out_tongue: (I’m actually helping around on one of those PW projects :stuck_out_tongue: )

I’ve never played Final Fantasy, I know I’m probably missing something but I don’t have a console nor does getting one thrill me. I dunno, consoles just ain’t my thing

Get used to some godawful AI in NWN2 and some bad interface changes imo, but it’s a really good game. You can control a party of people now, and that boosts the fun by a lot.

15

after playing oblivion nwn just doesn’t do it for me anymore, plus the bugs you mentioned turned me off… I’ve also been playing microsoft flight sim X (with real-time internet connected weather) - it’s pretty sick…

Knowing that NWN2 has a very large modding community, I’ve already found quite a few interface changing updates. I’m sure the AI will be upgraded by fans. I’ll be giving a try at modding once the info on how to do it comes out. Made a few objects for NWN a while ago. I also managed to import NWN models into blender :smiley:

Yes that game is crack, I’ve put 60hrs into since it came out. It has stopped me from blending, maybe thats a good thing. Let the creative juices recharge. :slight_smile:
