After logging 500+ Hours with Tekken3 I had to replace one.

After days spent playing Bloody Roar 2 I had to replace one.

This isn't "abuse", this is use. The only 'abused' controller is this DualShock2 that I'm pissed at. And I'm more pissed at FFXII for "needing" the controller when every other game I've seen for PS2 doesn't actually require it.

Of course also spending this weekend in a vain attempt to acquire a network adapter for said PS2 doesn't put me in a nice mood.

The only time I ever had to replace a controller was at the bladed pillars in God of War. It feels good to smash things.

I've never had to replace a PS2 controller because I'm not an overreactionary faggot who can't control his temper.

Also because I'm not RIG. I don't manhandle my shit and smash buttons and chew on the analog sticks.

I broke a playstation controller once when, after playing Marvel VS Capcom for like 3 weeks with Delid and playing Shuma Gorath (His one ult does more damage if you rotate the analog rapidly), I apparently had rotated a few too many times and the knob on the left analog snapped cleanly off

I want this game, but I don't think I can afford it.

So far I'm not digging the battle setup too much, but of course I'm only 1.5 hours in meaning I haven't fully completed their 'tutorial' phase of the game.

What's the point of being able to run around in combat if I can't dodge/evade the attacker? Just make me stand there and beat the shit outta things.

Once you get more party members and can place people away from the mob it matters.

How do you guys set up your stealing gambit? I have my healing priority, Enemy 100% life->Steal, then attack leaders target. But the order makes your stealer real stupid once you get 3+ enemies. They just keep stealing from someone with no items left to steal until you shut off that gambit. I'm hoping I'm being blind to a better way.

Have 1 guy set to steal if the enemy is at 100% and the other two people to attack any enemy if they are at 100%.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

o_O *2* Cids? It's only required to have 1 for it to be a proper Final Fantasy game.... There's an extra Cid... wow.

I'm completely stuck on the battle against Cid and his esper. After the esper uses its Waterja at about half health, I'm pretty much toast, especially if Cid's used one of his all-attacks at about the same time. I've tried using the fire esper, but it gets taken down almost instantaneously.

EDIT: Nevermind, finally got it. Had to blow almost my entire inventory of Elixirs, but I beat him.

DOUBLE EDIT: Game over, with a little over 50 hours invested. I didn't do most of the side quest stuff, either.

Not sure how I feel about the ending, other than that it reinforces my belief that Balthier was the most well crafted character of the bunch.
