| I personally don't know what Battle Arena you're using but I can use this one just fine. And its not hard to tell whose winning since you can simply click on either team's button thing to check their stats. And the history of attacks and such is quite useful.
Trying to make it work is really not that hard. And the fact that Syntax is still fixing a few bugs means that there's still more to come. The only reason you wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it is if you're the kind of person who just jumps right into something without even bothering to look at everything first. Granted, I made a mistake here and there when I used it the first time. But its very easy to get used to. All in all, I like this better than the old arena. |

| The term "Smash hit" was certainly one he was unfamiliar with. But then again, he was expected to be encountered with new things in such a strange land. He patiently waited and listened to his opponent before nodding and standing quite still.
"Focus strength? That's practically what I do all the time." Despite the fact that it sounded quite new to him, he did as he was told. He began to focus his strength into the deadly weapon that was grasped loosely in his hand. Then, like a raging bull, he dashed forward and unleashed an incredible horizontal slash at the trainer's chest. Note: Quotes in Italics are my thoughts. |

| Hahahaha, I love your answer Zabuza. But no, so far, none of the answers are correct.
Hint: He gets paid to do this. |

| *nearly faints upon laying eyes upon the ridiculous room*
Someone please tell me when you're ever going to have the chance to play all those. 
Yeah, it certainly is impressive though. There are some systems on teh shelf that I can't even identify. But oh well. I wouldn't want to live in that kind of room though. It literally screams out "I HAVE NO LIFE". But wow. It still is incredibly impressive. Wish I had as many PS2 and Xbox games as whoever owns that room does |

| Yup, after about 6 months, I'm finally back drawing again. I've updated Mira and Sparda though both are incomplete. CC would be appreciated.
Mira Version 1: Mira Version 1.0 Yeah, this was the very very first version of Mira that I drew. Version 2.0: Colored- 
Pencil Sketch- 
As you can tell, some changes have been made on Mira. First of all, her body pose and structure has been completely changed. Her face was also made a bit thinner. The hair was also drawn closer to the head. A change of costume as well. You have no idea how much of a b***** it was to have to color the picture in. I did it mainly to display what she would look like in color so the quality of the colored image isn't that great. I'll be working on that. Sparda Version 1- Version 1.0 Version 2- Version 2.0 Version 3.0 Incomplete- 
Sparda probably went through the most changes. His face was altered a bit. his eyes were made slightly bigger. He grew more hair. His costume is also changed and he's got more figure than before. However, the 3.0 version is still incomplete. Therefore, the picture is still lacking. I am still designing the newest version of the Deathsword to correspond the new version of Sparda so you can expect that coming your way eventually. Any links are basically previous drawings that I have shown before. Actual images are ones that were recently made. The purpose of this is to compare how the character drawings have slowly evolved into what they are now. |

| Can anybody suggest a few good anime songs that are perhaps worth listening to? It can be any genre as long as it's in an anime. I've been wanting to listen to a few but I don't know where to start.
Recently, Tifa suggested Dearest from Inuyasha and it was pretty cool. Any others you guys can think of? |

| I don't want any lucre seeing as how I don't post anymore. I'm simply posting for the sake of finally giving in my reviews.
Final Fantasy X Square Enix Rated T RPG genre Platform: Playstation 2 exclusive Out of a possible 10: Graphics: 9 Sound: 9 Control: 9 Difficulty: 5 Overall (not an average): 9 Made by the legends of fantasy and of RPGs, Square Enix has done it yet again by creating another epic RPG that will stick with gamers for quite some time. The land of Spira is being ravaged by a great entity known as Sin. The solution? Call upon summoners to defeat Sin. The catch? Sin doesn’t stay dead the summoner dies when fighting Sin. The plot twist? Your main character is a man who claims to come from a place called Zanarkand which was destroyed 1,000 years ago. The game? Final Fantasy X. GRAPHICS: As always, the Final Fantasy series gives us only the highest quality graphics. And Final Fantasy X is no exception, pushing the PS2 to its limits. From the incredibly amazing FMVs to the battle sequences, everything was done with care. Honestly, these are some of the best graphics you’ll ever see from your PS2 console. The character models are absolutely gorgeous as are the fiends you fight and the monsters you can summon. And the FMVs? Well, let’s just say it is truly some of the most beautiful scenes you will ever see. Picture this. Fiends swarming around in a coliseum-like arena. People screaming and fleeing in fear. Then suddenly, a monster appears. A horrific monster that has only one eye which it uses to blast these fiends into nothing. Blood slowly drips from its only eye. Yes, that is just one of the many scenes you will encounter in this game and you will definitely be in shock as you watch them. Everything looks very life like, especially the character models, except for the fact that everything about the character models are too ‘clean’ and too ‘perfect’. You would almost have a hard time distinguishing FFX’s FMVs with real people. However, the backgrounds of the world map may occasionally seem kind of dull and you kinda wish that there was more to it. Not saying that it’s bad cause that is in fact very untrue. The backgrounds are beautiful but you get the sense that more could have been done to improve it. Also, the battles may sometimes become too repetitive due to the extraordinarily similar models for the monsters you fight. But overall, this won’t take away your enjoyment of this game. SOUND: As always, you can expect Square to include lots of beautiful songs and tunes to their games. And for the very first time in the FF series, there are also voice-overs. And for the very first time, it is done exceptionally well. Each voice fits its character perfectly and does in fact show emotions and such. In fact, the voice-overs would be perfect had the developers at Square spent a little more time with the lip movements so that they correspond with the words being spoken. But that’s only in such screens as the world map. You’ll see none of that in the FMVs which are near-perfection. The music is, of course, topnotch whether it be a sweet and soft violin solo (Suteki Da Ne) to a hard rock song (Otherworld). Square once again proved that they aren’t just the graphics, they are also the music. And the music is absolutely superb. You may sometimes find the battle music to be a bit annoying after a while, but that is merely a very small flaw in an otherwise masterpiece soundtrack. And heck, how could you not like Square’s version of hard rock in “OtherWorld”? CONTROL: The controls of the game are very simple and there is no need to feel rushed in any matter, especially in the battles. Why? Well, Square has completely revamped the battle system, kicking out the ATB and replacing it with what’s called the CTB. In other words, you’re actions will effect how many times you get to move in a battle. Use haste, and you’ll move more often. Use a super powerful attack; expect your character to rest him or her before executing another move. Whether this was a smart change is completely up to the player. Sometimes the camera angles may be a bit annoying. And the fact that it can’t be customized to move the way you want it to slightly lowers the score a bit. However, it doesn’t take away too much from the overall fun factor. DIFFICULTY: With only one difficulty setting, Final Fantasy X is probably one of the easiest FFs you’ll ever have the chance to play. That is, of course, you understand how to use the Sphere Grid system correctly. What is the Sphere Grid system? Well, in simple terms, Exp has been kicked out and has been completely replaced with AP. Like a board game, each character has his own peace. Gain more AP, more advance around the board. Each space has his own special node where a sphere can be inserted. Insert a sphere in a certain node and you’re character’s stats may increase or he or she may learn a new attack. This is a new concept to the FF world and it can be a bitch if you don’t use it properly. Now considering that you do use it properly and that you don’t run away from all your battles, then the overall game will be very easy. Now the fact that your character can gain a maximum of 99,999 hit points only adds to the easiness factor. If you want a challenge, however, you can always go on the Monster Hunting quests and have the Monster man to fuse different monsters together to form ultra hard bosses to fight. When I ultra hard, I really mean it. OVERALL: Final Fantasy X, unlike the other FFs, has more of a Japanese theme behind it rather than European influence and you can notice this in the character models, the clothing, the weapons, and even from the summon creatures. But nevertheless, it is still a Final Fantasy and it still one heck of an RPG that any true RPG fan or Final Fantasy fan should check out immediately. Featuring a new and innovative storyline that has many plot twists as well as an improved graphics engine and a new battle system, Final Fantasy X is sure to get a very huge crowd. So whether you are into swords/magic, or just want to experience that incredible story, don’t be afraid to give FF X a try. And now, its available in Greatest Hits so don’t worry about emptying your wallet completely. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time Square Enix Rated T Action/RPG genre Platform: Playstation 2 exclusive Out of a possible 10: Graphics: 8/10 Sound: 6/10 Control: 8/10 Difficulty: 6/10 Story: 7/10 Overall (not an average): 7/10 There have been many RPG games out there but few of them ever make a grand entrance, whether it is because they are too unoriginal or too repetitive in many aspects. In fact, its hard to find a new innovative RPG game in the market these days. Well, if you been wanting to get that new feel of an RPG, then allow me to introduce you to Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, featuring a very addicting battle system that will compel you to just keep on fiddling with it. GRAPHICS: Don’t expect to see Square Enix’s masterpiece quality graphics such as those found in the Final Fantasy series in this game. Overall, the quality of the graphics is great, but not enough to be considered ‘spectacular’ such as Final Fantasy X or X-2. The character models are absolutely beautiful, each character having a unique anime-ish appearance to him or her. The CG sequences are great with lush details which really show that the developers put some effort into the quality. Now despite the fact that the graphics are very good quality, they just don’t stand out in anyway. Nothing that would makes you go “wow” when you see a CG sequence. Remember in FFX, when you saw Anima for the first time in an awesome FMV? I bet you were thinking something along the lines of “Damn…that’s amazing!” Well, you won’t be getting that feel anytime soon here. The graphics are great, but they could actually be better. SOUND: The sound is probably the weakest aspect of this game. Though sometimes the voice-overs might get good (keyword being “might”), 9 out of 10 times, you’ll be wanting to skip through the conversations or mute the whole thing altogether. The very awkward pauses between lines in a dialogue might make you think “Ok…and?” The emotions portrayed by the characters are just enough to keep you interested in the story. The music, however, can be probably considered the worst part of this game. Honestly, they do nothing but add a dull flavor to each scene or fight. Nothing spectacular, nothing great, move on. Sometimes, the music doesn’t even fit the theme of the event or scene which also gets pretty awkward. Remember that mute button on your TV? Well, if you hate the music of the first 15 minutes of the game, then you’ll be relying on that quite a lot. CONTROL: The controls, in general, are reasonable and easy to get used to. However, sometimes the buttons become unresponsive which can lead to problems since the later battles are usually always very intense and fast-paced. You try to execute one thing and end up executing another. This usually isn’t too big of a problem seeing as how it doesn’t come up frequently. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is a game that relies solely on its action to get the player excited. Thus, you can expect a wide variety of attacks and combos, unique to each player. In other words, Fayt (who wields a sword) would definitely handle differently than Maria (who uses a gun). This, of course, only makes it even more exciting during each battle as you try out different characters and use different strategies to defeat your enemy which is always a very rewarding thing. DIFFICULTY: This game can be a bitch to you, if you let it be one, that is. It’s important to understand how the controls work and how to execute combos and sidesteps cause if you don’t, then you can expect your sorry little ass to be whooped in about 30 minutes into the game (seeing as how the ‘real enemies’ don’t come until then). Of course, if you at least familiarize yourself with the controls and the basic, you’ll always be on top of the game. The options menu features the ability to decide which difficulty setting you wish to fight on whether you are a newbie or a hard veteran, giving new players a chance to enjoy their first experience with the game while veterans can play through the game again but with greater challenges and risks than before. OVERALL: Star Ocean: Till the End of Time isn’t the greatest RPG of the year. It doesn’t feature the most memorable characters, the coolest graphics, or even the best storyline. It won’t be on everyone’s mind a few months after it’s released. But for the time being, Star Ocean really stands out in the market against other RPGs for coming up with one of the coolest and most addictive battle systems ever to be witnessed. Sure, it isn’t the BEST PS2 RPG out there. But heck, it’s still a great game and is certainly worth your money to rent if you don’t want to buy it. And the fact that it comes with 2 DVDs packed with special features and a versus mode! That’s right! The very first RPG to include a versus mode where you fight your well trained characters against another human player’s characters or the CPU’s characters! With all of this, crammed into two little discs, you’ll sure to be playing this game for up to 20 hours (assuming you try to accomplish everything). Short? Perhaps. Good game? Definitely. The following is not quite a Halo 2 review. Rather, it's just a commentary. I still need to finish the Sound section in my Halo 2 review. Halo 2 is an excellent FPS, don't get me wrong. The controls are super slick and very responsive. The button layout feels perfect and is very easy to get used to the moment you start playing the first level. The graphics are top notch and an incredible improvement over the first Halo. Some examples can be found on the Master Chief's armor and the Brutes scaly skins. Hardly will you ever find any lags or slowdowns. The music, as usual, is composed of a powerful orchestra as well as some original songs from Breaking Benjamin. Halo 2, like its predecessor, has proven that its soundtrack is of theatric quality. And how can you not like its theme with the choir in the background? Now let’s address game play which I feel to be the biggest issue in conflict. Dual Wielding is a welcomed concept though it wasn't exactly necessary. However, it did allow the players more freedom as well as challenging the players to use strategy. Will you use two Plasma Rifles to pummel the enemy or will you use a combination of the Battle Rifle and some well placed grenades instead? So I’ll just leave Dual Wielding as "unnecessary but nevertheless, awesome". The storyline? Well, the storyline was honestly much weaker than that of Halo 1. Sure, Halo 1 didn't exactly have that great of an ending either but Halo 2 was much too predictable; more so than the first Halo. How could you NOT figure out that Tartarus would end up being the 'bad guy' (yes, I understand the term bad guy is poor but it is the best I can come up now. For those who played it, you know what I mean.). And there honestly isn't anyone in the world who can say the ending was a good one. Why? Cause the ending was horrible. A 30 second trailer showing Master Chief sailing through space in an Covenant spacecraft, telling his superiors that he was "finishing the job". Granted, the music added a very powerful emotion to the trailer but overall, it was, in my opinion, too weak overall. Sure, it sets up everything for Halo 3 but is that really reason enough? Can you honestly justify a horrible ending by saying that it’s because Halo 3 will come out? I hardly think so. Let’s move on to the levels. Though much improved when compared to Halo 1, it still suffers from one fatal flaw. Repetitiveness (please excuse the spelling if it is wrong). I must have encountered the same looking hallway 5 times in one level. Sure, the levels are big, but does that necessarily mean they are better? Does that justify using the same level design over and over again? Hardly. Now that we addressed level design, dual wielding, and story/ending, lets address the final issue: the actual game play. This is obviously Halo 2's strongest point. With new guns and more enemies (though they too can get repetitive), the action is almost always very intense. Especially in the later levels where are constantly thrown against Brutes armed with Brute Shots and Energy Swords. It’s an exhilarating experience and will definitely keep a player on the edge of his (or her) seat. The Flood is back (wow, how predictable) and their overall difficulty rating has increased tremendously. No longer will you simply pass through swarms of Flood unscathed. They are tough and they can really show it. With superior strength and armed with guns (as well as Energy Sword), they are some of the coolest enemies to fight against (though I would have appreciated more Flood designs then the one provided). So here are my ratings: Graphics 9/10 Sound/Music: 9/10 Controls: 10/10 Game play: 8.5/10 Story/Overall Plot: 7.5/10 Overall: 8/10 The ratings are purely my opinions based on what I have experienced as one who has played through the game on Legendary as well as Easy. I haven't looked over these reviews so you can expect to see some typos. |

| Leon, I made the rules. I may be retired but it doesn't mean I've forgetten everything about simbattling. There was no reason why he shouldn't have contacted me since he felt that contacting any of the trainers such as yourself would easily cause them to create a biased vote towards Kaijin.
That's all I'm saying. I'm not going to interfere with your decision. But I wanted to make that point clear. |

Yeah. I'm back. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm still retired in simbattling. I'm just here for some relaxing posting..or some random flaming. 
No just kidding. But whatever I'm back. I expect a moderator to close this immediately upon sight. I don't want any non staff replying this. Personally, I hate goodbye and return threads. I think they are just lame attempts at getting attention. The only reason I decided to make this thread was because I've actually been gone for almost a year. So if a moderator could just close this now. Cheers. |

| I'm curious as to know where you actually plan to find a group of unbiased judges because no matter how I look at it, many people on this board are biased. I think the only exception to that is Cyro and Shuyin. We've been a small community all our lives unlike other boards who have thousands of members, more than they can keep track of. We have the tendency to overprotect the members we know more than the newcomers. I know this because this certainly was the case back then between Rogue and Evo. Sure, the staff has been revamped a bit...but we're still the same people. I don't see how we're going to find a group that can magically change their ways so as to become unbiased.
And newcomers literally have no chance of becoming part of the panel due to the fact that no one would trust them. |

| Hi Tseng. Welcome to the board.
Now someone please close this thread because what started as an innocent newbie thread has already evolved into a damn war. It's gone on long enough. |

| The trailer was certainly very interesting. Talk about gory. I must say, that was the goriest thing I ever saw in my life. And I thought rotten.com was bad. But, i'm curious. Was that a suit of armor Ichi was wearing? Cause I really couldn't tell what it was. | |||

| The cast was horrible in my opinion.
Anyways, most of you already know my opinion about the movie, thanks to my dear brother Shaddow. However, I wish to know one thing about the movie which I missed. What was Tom Cruise yelling about at the end when he was pointing to the birds and the Tripod thing? What did he notice that was out of the ordinary? What did he tell the MP? The stupid noise that tripod kept making prevented me from hearing it very well. |
