I think they ran out of time, or they had no more stuff to put into the game.

Were those the ones Ninny gave to Capcom to create? Also, I thought you were anti-Spoiler, Shadow...

Yea, those are the Capcom one, as well as my Favorite ones. The third was cut due to a mix of time and Complexity they had the budget, this is Capcom/Nintendo/Zelda were talking about.

I oppose Spoiler HATERS, not Spoilers themselves, but that's no reason to be discourteous. If he doesn't want it spoiled, then I won't spoil it for the sake of it.

Quote from: Shadow's Motto Concerning Readings People Hate (Like Spoilers)
If you don't like it, then don't read it, but if you're gonna bitch and whine about it, all I can tell you is "Whiny bitch needs to get the fuck out."

Simply because in the end... THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE...

Kidding.

In the end, it's the whiner's fault for reading it.

Last time we had a conversation about spoilers, you seemed to say the exact opposite.

And don't forget that if you get Adray you are potentially screwed from getting the awesomeness which is Albel.

Ah, that too. He takes up a slot that could be used for someone useful and also stops you getting an 8th member if you wander into that village (that one on Elicoor II where the monsters and fairies live) after the big plot twist.

In my experience, Fayt, Cliff and Maria make the most destructive combo in the game; all the way to 4-D mode even. Edit: Of course, could just solo in 4-D with just Peppita. She completely owns everything with her dances.

Yeah, I recall one or two of Maria's moves being an absolute game breaker that I've seen abused in low level solo videos of the game's optional bosses.

Energy Burst, I believe.

Here's the setup; check the site for what each build means.
o----------------o
| Angel's Burst  |----------------------------------------------------
o----------------o

1) Archangel Fayt: Excelent damage potential, max HP and very high defence. The
Tank (Damage Dealer)
2) Max Cliff: Magnificent juggling and damage, long ranged. Absolutely amazing,
brilliant and necessary for Freya (Stunlocker/Damage Dealer/Support)
3) Burst Maria: Superb damage potential, durability and support with Healing
and Protection (Damage Dealer/Support)


Formation:

Loose Line

Ratings

POWER: *****
DURABILITY: *****
SINERGY: *****
BALANCE: ****

OVERALL: *****
One of the best teams, doesn't achieve a perfect score in balance because of
its ultra offensive nature: sometimes you'll miss having a pure Healer. Still,
godly.

In Final Fantasy VII, Cloud just embarked on one of the most akward and embarresing Sidequests ever to rescue his girlfriend. I see why he's so Emo. After copying Star Wars Episode Six, the group of Cloud, Aeris( Aerith?) and Tifa Continues on their journey to beat the hell out of an electricity company, which some how leads to fighting a silver haired guy with the Masamune, which he apparently stole from Frog and elongated to massive size. Don't you love Final Fantasy? It's like an episode of the Simpsons, seriously.

Are you talking about when he cross-dresses to get into Corneo's Mansion?

Swords are phallic enough to begin with without the excess imagery. :mrgreen:

Oy! I didn't mean it like that! Anyways, yes I do mean when he CrossDresses. In my springtime of Youth topic I posted an in depth recap that makes fun of it. I love the game, but haven't you made fun of something you like before? Anyways, after getting out of the Graveyard of Phantom Trains that Sabin Blitzed to death, The Intrepid Trio travels to Sector Seven, and attempt to save the town, and more importantly, their Bar. After Failing miserably, Aeris is kidnapped, and taken to Shinra headquarters. The Trio- now Cloud, Tifa, and Barret, travel to Aeris' house to tell her mom that she was kidnapped, and most likely killed. Her mom takes it OK, and starts rambling, while Aeris is probably being tortured. After a couple hours, they decide to go be Solid Snakes and infiltrate Shinra Hideout, probably in a stolen Flying Delorean, or Epoch or something. Or they could walk on foot....

Well, they have the option of just barging in through the front door, or take the stairs on the left.
