- I'm cutting my subscription with Sodetel, I'm a gamer so the latency is important to me..however restarting the router now if effective again to catch a good IP thus from my experiments every time my IP is: 93.126.242.xxx my latency seems to be 90 to 100ms! so try it people and give me your thoughts!!
- What the hell I have low latency, what's happening? :P
- Are you a collector? if not you can download them off the internet as ROM
What game do you play? if u play WoW PM me ur name there, side & which realm :Duser wroteI was playing happily with 100 ms, and I was in a dungeon party in the game playing a key role, and then it jumped to 400 ms, needless to say innocent people had to suffer :P and my ingame reputation is ruined.
it was fun while it lasted- I can't see to have a good ping again...
- I'm a sodetel subscriber and the connection is horrible, I recommend IDM it's way better because my friend is subscribed to them, good luck
- I'm experiencing frequent disconnects plus my ip is being changed alone resulting in losing internet for like 1 or 2 minutes... this is bugging me even more.
- Indeed, I renew my WoW subscription this month xD
- What the hell is going on, good latency all day long, I'm worried :P
- Final Fantasy X (PS2)
Captain Tsubasa 2 & 3 (NES) - Horrible pink now, above 900 o.O
- You want a digital or physical copy, or just a serial code?

Very nice of you to take your time to write all of this, but like you said you left the controller and went afk and you came back to find that Yiazmat is dead which shows that Gambits system is like a computer playing for you even if you set an AI to it yourself, which makes it like a third party doing the job for you which is not challenging at all, anyway this game is not only about Yiazmat and www.gamefaqs.com is my friend, I saw a lot of Faqs showing the exact Gambits to implement for Yiazmat fight which I didn't see yet & I'm not intending to do because it will kill the fun of enjoying the fight, I'm now in the process of collecting 2 more Ribbons/Zodiarc spear because I opened the treasure chests that are not intended of being opened :P, getting the 2 doors of Necrohol Of Nabudis unlocked & collecting other armor pieces :P Hallelujah :Prahmu wroteThe Gambit system is, imho, the coolest fight system I saw in a FF. (FF tactics was pretty neat too).
Gambits is not just "the computer plays for you". Sure, when you're looting and you're at a high level, simply putting "attack nearest opponent" should do the trick. But at the same time just pressing Attack manually is not much more fun.
Against Yiazmat (which is a whole order of magnitude more difficult than Zodiak, setting up your gambits
properly is a real strategy play. You have to take into accounts:
- the stats of each member of your party + equipment.
- the different attacks Yiazmat does, and how often.
- How to create an infinite heal: a gambit system that allows the party to never die (you will find out this does not exist, each system has a weakness, you'll learn this as you create advanced combinations of Gambits).
- How to maximize damage when still implementing infinite heal. It's easier to do infinite heal when your 3 characters are just focused on healing. But at some point you've got to attack.
For the record, when I beat Yiazmat without touching my controller. I wasn't even in the room for the whole fight (over 3h). I tried over 20 combinations of Gambits to come up with my strategy (which honestly, I cannot remember really well. It was 2006 after all ...), failure after failure you start to see patterns. What went wrong? Why did I lose? How should've the healer reacted (you can guess that healing is super important for me)?
The good news is that, if you manage to survive the first 30-40 minutes (on gambits), there's a high chance you can win this fight.
Anw, give it a real try, it's very weird and awkward at first. I think it's the most misunderstood battle system of all FFs (but it's a real innovative one). It's not just the computer doing things for you. It's you building a pseudo AI for your party.
PS: THIS TOPIC IS ABOUT FFXIV NOT FFXII :P just a reminder :P- Edited
I'm so far in the game, but It got boring at this stage, I've done all the marks except Yiazmat & just killed the Esper Zodiak, my party is composed of: Ashe lv94, Fran & Basch lv82 though I like Balthier also but he's only lvl40 xD I'm still trying to finish the side quests & collect all the remaining Espers & I find the gambit system boring & not challenging because it's like a computer doing things for u, I prefer the old FF battle systems like FF7 or FF8rahmu wroteI did not play the XIII and have never heard of the XIV, but played most of the others.
@blue_bear: XII is most interesting if you focus a lot on the Gambit system and have your party play on a full "auto-play" mode. I don't know how far you've progressed in the game, but if you've started working on your marks, you may need to work on the Gambit system. It's the most "sane" way to kill Yiazmat, the ultimate Elite Mark, a fight that will definitely last several hours and is probably one of the most challenging of the whole series.
If you enjoyed 1 and 2, definitely give FF6 a try. (I played it on a SNES emulator, I don't know if there are new editions on "modern" game consoles...).
PS: FFXIV/14 is the newest FF online game after the fail FFXI xD
Hehe FF7 was my first and since then I got hooked :P I played FF1 & 2, FF7, FF8, FFX (My fav), FFX-2, FFXI (sucks big time) & currently playing FFXII, I don't have a PS3 but my friend does & he has the FFXIII which I found so much fun ^^Monkey D. Luffy wroteThe only FF I ever played are FF7CC (the best) and FFXIII (and I STILL didn't finish it) [useless post]- Is it a good game? I saw some of the gameplays on youtube & I didn't like the game honestly

Dear fellow gamers & specially Final Fantasy game series fans...
I made this topic to know who plays/played this game, want to hear reviews & such
I'm a final fantasy game fan, played almost all the series on PS/PS2 & FFXI the online one
I'm downloading the FFXIV now with the patches & would like to try it, curious also if someone has a buddy pass who can give it to me to try the game before buying it though its price is ridiculously cheap starting from 20$
Waiting your replies
PS: you can only have a buddy pass if you bought the collectible version of the game- As I speak, it's 7:05 PM & I have around 180ms ping from Speedtest.net did they fix the latency problem?
- WTF I can't open the torrent website I use also o.O
