..........................
'Your order of Final Fantasy XIV - Collector's Edition has been shipped.' 

IT IS COMING TO MY DOORSTEPS WITHIN 24 HOURS!!!

ok a little dramatic here.. lol Either way, I'm half super duper excited, since it is finally coming, but... I won't be able to play it until I get a computer that will run it >.<;;;;;;;;; /sadface... 
so sad lol. But at least, I know I will have it and play it soon. 

Also, the new CGI trailer of FFXIV is truly epic. Adventure, friendship, epic fights, gorgeous graphics and sound... what a Final Fantasy should be like :D
Here it is! Watch it and you'll love it!




Badass needs to be loved!

The Badass villains strikes! And you know it, you love them! Who is your Favourite villain?!?!?!?!
dum dum dum...


Do you love Kefka's insane yet godly, crazy maniac personality?



Don't you just love Sephiroth's owning everything up as 'One-Winged Angel' plays in the background?


Or do you adore Kuja and his tail?!



Or you love that Seymour stole Yuna's first kiss?!?!?!?!?

Which villain is it that you love? Vote NOW!

Congrats Vaan!... uh I mean...

As my second poll closes, I want to firstly say thank you to all who have voted and visited the site :D
This time we have 2 times more people voting! Thats a major improvement! Good to see! Hope it will just get better and better :D

We have a winner!!! for being the least liked main character in the Final Fantasy series.... 
Is that a good thing? or bad thing?!?! well.. Here it is!
 
Ok I have to admit. This failed paint-job is pretty disturbing.. but as we can see, VAAN from FINAL FANTASY XII won in all his glory, 3 time more vote than all other characters that got voted and a whopping 50% of all votes went to Vaan. He should be happy! At least he was a character that everyone remembered because he... was useless in the game, so congrats Vaan! Majority of the people don't like you! (I myself don't particular like or care about him too XD)

I'm surprised that there are people who voted the retro Cloud and Zack as their least favourtie character. Good to see that not everybody is all Final Fantasy VII XD

Next poll will be coming up shortly! Hope to see you on here often!

New Poll! - Which main character do you hate the most?!?!


Muahahaha. A negative poll this time, Which Main character do you have the most in the Final Fantasies mentioned in the poll?!

Could it be that you hate Cloud's anti-socialness?


Could it be Squall's self centred views? 

Could it be Vaan's meaningless to the game? 



Could it be Lightning because she uses a more high-tech Gunblade than Squall?!





Could it be Terra because she ended up destroying the insane villain Kefka?! Who could it be... It's up to you to decide!


Poll will close on the 16 of September

Final Fantasy X is the winner! WOOHOO

My first poll, and in all it's glory, Final Fantasy X's ending won! (by a mere 1 vote over FFVII) I have to totally agree with you, it was the most memorable, most well presented, and of all, the saddest ending so far in my honest opinion. The music was unforgettable as well. The ending theme consisting of the melancholy tune of To Zanarkand and Hymn of the Faith, and Suteki Da Ne when the credits rolled were priceless.
The few words that was said in the ending was so powerful, it brought tears to my eyes, and I knew from that moment I would not forget about it. It was just an amazing ending, It deserves to win!



note:
Major SPOILER warning on the video. Don't watch it if you are playing FFX or want to complete it yourself.

More awesome announcements from Square!

Ok, two posts in one day. I just got excited! We all know that Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is going to be released tomorrow here in New Zealand, and that alone makes me super duper happy! but... Square Enix, Tetsuya Nomura Has just announced the next DISSIDIA GAME!!! 


It will be called Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy. From the shonen jump preview, it will definately have Lightning from FFXIII and Kain from FFIV. As a Dissidia Final Fantasy fan, I cannot wait to play it and kick some ass! (thats if I ever find someone to fight with in New Zealand... lol)


It will be released in 2011 in Japan, but the release dates for other regions are unknown at this time.

Building a computer for FFXIV... Pricey..

As the release day of Final Fantasy XIV gets closer and closer... The excitement rises and I really can't wait to play! (I'm refraining myself from playing the Open Beta... so I don't get any sort of spoilers!) However, the real problem is... I don't have a powerful enough computer to run it! My laptop, which is 3 years old, won't be able to run it. It's only got 4 gig ram, 32bit Vista and a 8600 NVIDIA graphics card, and less than 5 gigs on my harddrive... I guess it can run it at low resolution, but the laptop will probably overheat... 

So here is the plan! Build a new desktop and hook it up to my HD TV and play it in Hi-Def! Muahahahaha. Thats if I can get the funds to get myself a new comp...
I'm comsidering getting these parts:
  • Intel Core i7 930 2.8GHz quad core
  • 6 Gig DDR3 ram (3x 2 gig)
  • 500 gig Harddrive (Only using it for general FFXIV, and I have plenty of portable HDDs)
  • Sapphire Radeon HD5970 2gig Graphics Card
  • Window's 7 Home Premium 64-bit
  • Possibly a Blu-Ray Writer but probably just a DVD/CD RW
  • And a case to put all these goodies in and a mouse and keyboard.
That will cost me about.... $2700 NZD... Which I don't have at the moment lol. AHHH I can dream... But I really do hope I win the lotto or something and then I can build myself an ultimate FFXIV comp >.> 

Ohhh on the contrary, September is a good month! Not only FFXIV is coming out, but Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is coming out, and I have pre-ordered the Special Edition that should arrive tomorrow! That and uni should keep me busy until I build myself a nice computer for FFXIV! Hopefully...
