Random thought
I always confused Tetra Master with Triple Triad name-wise. Since obviously the more confusing cardgame should have the more confounding name right?

Then again manipulating TT into a setup where no rules exist besides maybe the same rule, thats complex in its own right

You're probably looking into Alexandria's succession politics infinitely more than the developers did.

The father was the king. His wife, the Queen, took over after his death. Garnet will succeed Brahne.

I would say that sailing to an unexplored continent would be an incredibly dangerous proposition, but this is an RPG so the "continent" is actually like 100 yards away.

Ignoring the fact that gameplay mechanics =/= real-life mechanics (the world is a square after all)
I believe there was a geographic reason why you dont often go to the other continent

Digging in Chocobo's Lagoon is probably the thing that keeps me from digging up all of these treasures too early.

When you first get there and you only have 30 seconds to dig up those really deep items, it takes a good while before Choco's Beak levels up enough to pick up the slack.


It sure is nice to see the spell burn up every time you use it, only for the enemy to cast it with 100% success. :argh:

I know which enemy you, me and everyone else is thinking of

I wouldnt say FF9's combat system is unfun
It at least keeps every character unique
besides when you get down to it, each combat system eventually devolves into spam of whatever is most effective (FFX for instance turns into Quick Hit madness)

Pretty much anyone in a Nisio story gets his/her hair cut for 'character development'

Then again I like the shorter hair look more, so its fine by me
