I prefer written guides to youtube videos, so gamefaqs is pretty awesome.

Here's Split Infinity's FFXII walkthrough, which I believe is the largest one on the site. It sits at about 1400 pages

In a few thousand years alien archaeologists will sift through what remains of the internet and a seven foot tall grey will stroke his chin and say to his colleagues "I believe this 'Split Infinity' was a wise sage who taught at what we have all agreed to be the video game academy known as GameFAQs" and forever canonize him as a saint and then in a few hundred more years someone will make a fighting game or MOBA featuring Split Infinity as a robed and bearded figure who can fight George Bush, who has devil horns and it will be hailed as a great tale of good and evil as we saw it in the 2000s

Final Fantasy menu sounds are good, I like the noise the cursor makes when you move it.

Predator. Every time someone tries describing a movie to me and cannot
remember the name, my first response is always, "Predator?" Those who know
me laugh it off. Those who don't know me well are probably wondering why in
the world I think the romantic comedy they just described to me starring Hugh
Grant and Julia Roberts might be Predator.

Predator is not just a movie...it's a lifestlye. How many of you wish you
could just cover yourself in mud to avoid those nagging people in your life
that demand too much of your time? How many of you have used the lines "I
ain't got time to bleed" and "He's dug in like an Alabama tick" more than
once in your lives? Alright, perhaps it's just me.

Predator stars the current governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Jesse "The Body" Ventura, another politico and ex-WWF star, had a supporting
role, as did Carl Weathers. Kevin Peter Hall, the man who was in the
Predator costume, actually died of AIDS in 1991. As far as I know, he is the
only character in an NES game who has died of AIDS. I could be wrong though.

I believe the programmers missed the boat on actual gameplay. It would have
been cool to be able to control several different characters, especially "The
Body", but instead the game takes place after everyone has been killed off.
It took over 3/4 of the movie before Arnold was left to his own devices
against the Predator, but for some reason this game takes liberties and
spreads Arnie's solo battle out over 30 mundane levels of jungle fighting. I
don't seem to remember any animated rocks giving 'Dutch' a hard time in the
film. You don't even get to cover yourself with mud in this game.

The reason I am writing this guide is not because it happens to be the most
requested NES FAQ currently at gamefaqs. It's not because I know this game
inside and out, because I don't (but soon will). This might be the only FAQ
ever written simply because of my use of the Predator as an inside joke. A
stupid reason, yes. However, this will probably be my last game guide, at
least for a long while. After 4 years of trying everything, including 4 IVF
cycles, the wife is finally pregnant. Not only is she pregnant with a baby,
she is pregnant with 2 babies!! Yep, twins. I've always enjoyed writing
game guides for obscure NES games and since my very near future will be quite
occupied, I wanted to bang out a final one before submitting to life as a
father.

So, whether this is my swan song or not, I hope you enjoy all things Predator
and the next time someone can't think of the name of a movie, you know what
to chime in with...

Bub kicked in the door behind the merchant's carcass. That 50 gold we got from the carcasses seemed small fries. Not that we were cannibals or that we used unhealthy oils when we cooked, but most of the twelve urns behind contained 1000+ gold. W00t! Loot! Bub in fact took so much that he went over his limit, after which excess gold he'd collected disappeared. We often found we'd have to re-pool gold later when hauling in all that loot, but right then we seemed to have all the money we'd need. But money wouldn't buy the finesse I'd worked out. Some guards were still waiting in the training room.

Back directly above the training room, we moved left and down to two squares above the hallway to the right. We waited some more; this dragged the guards left without releasing them from the training room. Then it was a straight shot down although we worried about a meddlesome group of Ryoshi that might get in the way. The two guards in the training room were trapped, and the two guards on the left would move down the near vertical hallway and not ours. "He's WIDE...OPEN! He could...go...all...the...way!" The plan had worked!

But we still couldn't quite get SAILS, which we needed; sailors were wimpy but numerous. They also summoned others, and we didn't have any high-powered wide-range spells to wipe them out yet. And we didn't just want to give the money back as if it were part of a joke, when when we knew one day we'd be able to whip the sailors. That sort of thing is cool if you live in a forest and wear green tights and drink mead and eat mutton, but none of that stuff here even if some heretics believe 'All the world's a Green Screen.' Even so we'd really be black-and-white
deep down anyway.

quote:

"You've been down in the daisies, old pal."
"Dah--what? There's no daisies here only generic scrub...whoah, sheesh, Bub, you look stronger. Bob too. Gus, buff there. Eh, Sam, eh, Mac."
"Yeah, we picked up a couple of levels while you-all were dea-- dozing."
"That was nice. You guys put the con in considerate. Hey and oh yeah thanks for saving me for last. What if I started to rot?"
"Be hard to tell if you're already rotten. Whoah, hey, relax, it took less than a day. And it was cheaper for us to level up until now--we're level five and won't get killed so easily so it's long term, didn't wanna get packed off quickly again--we all got it in the meantime. I got killed by an obake--real embarrassing, that. The healing spells can be concentrated on you, now."
"If you say so. Got anything else?"
"Well, some random encounters got us gauntlets--with wolves, that one, and even Kabuto. For the rearguard we got gloves for Mac and probably some for Sam later. But we gotta be a bit more careful about encounters. It was rough. Lots of beating up Kosaku guards in Tokushima when we were down to three people. Our part in the War on Poverty, with a twist (of the arm.) Maybe we shoulda suckered some bright eyed new adventurers into forming a new party and then-BAM."
"Say, Ned, you need time to rest? Getting killed is hell on your spell points."
"Nah, let's go. Pick fights, not noses. Pack steel or get packed off."
"Rock on, brother." I needed levels. Y'all don't know what it's like, to lose an armor class point without having to slap on new duds. I wanted that feeling again
