A whole lot of PS2 games.

I watched the whole thing up to the end of the Chapter Black arc/saga. Dark Tournament was the best, though. Kuwabara is one of my favorite anime characters of all time.

Take the two cents of a new guy: Genjutsu could work, it'd just be more of a status effect/debuff thing. I haven't watched episodes of the series where Genjutsu was used recently, but why not just have a variety of status effects that genjutsu could put the user into. Low level examples would include: Confuse - The victim is percieving that attacks are coming in from a different angle than they actually are. Evasion decreased. Disorient - The victim is under a genjutsu that is making their world spin slightly, disorientating them. Their accuracy with all forms of attacks falls as a result. Fearful - The user puts the victim into an illusion where they are dealing with a personal phobia in addition to combat, decreasing their defense drastically. Sexy Illusion - The user, if fighting someone of the opposite gender, places them in an illusion where the user is wearing the outfit that the victim finds 'sexiest'. Therefore, their (offensive stat) is lowered. And their nose is bleeding. I dunno if the idea even has potential, or if the stats in the game would allow for something like this, but hey, every little bit helps, right?

Not ~really, but that's the only village they really interacted with, even if it was just in the capacity of trying to take over the village. A lot of rp sites I've been on have retconned it where the Kaguya were only nearly wiped out, and then were more or less conscripted into Kirigakure's military.

Final Fantasy I The thing you have to consider about pretty much any game that's the first in the series is that, well, it's the first in the series. You can see a lot of the roots that sprang out into the great concepts of Final Fantasy here, and the classes are all fairly standard/fun. Final Fantasy II This is a game a lot of people will tell you they dislike. It uses a drastically different system when compared to every other game in the series. Instead of levels, you gain stats and prowess with weapons/magic by using them. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it gets hard to raise some stats unless you know a few tricks. The story is alright, and it's the first in the series to use named protagonists. Their personalities are lacking at best except for one or two exceptions that go into the 'alright' territory. I liked it decently enough, but it isn't a game I'd rush to replay considering how tedious it is. Final Fantasy III III and V are very similar games at their core, V just pushes the system further. Until recently, this game was Japanese exclusive, but it was updated onto the Nintendo DS and ported. The job system is top notch and fun. The characters in the remake are all 'alright', although the story forces friendships and plot points most of the time. I'd reccomend playing it. Final Fantasy IV For some reason, Square loves the hell out of this game. It was the first Final Fantasy with standout characters, and spawned the Spoony Bard meme. The game has been remade numerous, numerous times. Square is probably thinking of a way to port this game again while I'm typing this. Additionally, there's a sequal that's bundled with the PSP version called the After Years, and it's pretty cool. Level grinding takes forever on the older versions, but it's an alright entry. Not my favorite, not my least favorite. Oh, and I wish they'd fleshed out the Dark Knight class and allowed it to remain as an option for use. Final Fantasy V This game didn't see an official port until a PS1 port that paired it with VI. The game is alright, and is unique in that the main part ends up being 3/4ths female. It uses a job class similar to the one in III, albeit more refined, and with some twists, but no Onion Knight. Some of the plot twists feel really forced, and *spoiler* the main villain turns out to have a tree as its true form. I'll probably end up replaying it someday, but as I say to the god of death, "Not today." Final Fantasy VI Released as Final Fantasy III in its original US release, this game is probably one of the best in the series, and certainly the best of the sprite era final fantasy games. There's so much to praise this game for. Its story genuinely feels epic, whilst having little bits of endearing charm that make you not help but love it. Its villain makes a very Nietzsche-esque turn at the end, and you can't help but feel a little sorry for him, even after all he's done. The characters all feel real, have their own motivations, and abilities. Best of all, you'll want to use all of them due to the game requiring multiple parties at a few points. The cast is an ensemble, and the closest things resembling main characters are the two people you play as first in each of the game's two acts. Final Fantasy VII Perhaps it's just personal bias, but I feel that this game is looked at through rose-tinted glasses. The game is not without its charm, but there's this difference between the game and what people remember the game being like. Additionally, Square turned the main character, Cloud, into a brooding, humorless character in the movie sequal, wheras he had a sense of humor and a jerk with a heart of gold attitude in the original. The characters are all memorable, admittedly, but I think that the big moment everyone takes away from this game is vastly overrated compared to some moments in other games. The game has its subtle hints that make it brilliant, though, like how the main villain is more Jenova than Sephiroth when you think about it. I was playing it again on my Vita before I got sidetracked by IX and Persona. Final Fantasy VIII This is another game that I've heard a lot of disdain/hate for, and while I can understand that hate, I can't agree. What Square attempted to do with this game was make the War and Peace of video games. They wanted to make a masterpiece with a deep story on many different levels. While I feel that the game is not without its brilliance, it falls short of that tall goal set. It's held back by a cast of teenagers that, while memorable, get bogged down in the things that come with being a teen far too much. I love the main character though, who manages to pull off being quiet whilst managing to have a personality. Not only that, a personality that changes fluidly over the course of the game whilst still being the same person. I could digress here if you guys have read this far and care enough to hear how I felt the plot could've been better to achieve the stated goal. A lot could be said about this one. Final Fantasy IX Out of every Final Fantasy game made, this one is my personal favorite in the series. The setting is a fairly typical fantasy world, I admit, but there's so many small things that make it a wonderful, brilliant game. The main protagonist is practically the antithesis of your average JRPG hero. Swagger, confidence, and goodwill spill forth from self proclaimed 'ladykiller' Zidane's mouth with every new line of dialogue. The first hour of the game, whilst only having a few battles, is incredibly memorable, and it only gets better from there. Most people say the plot falls apart midway through the third disc, but I think the rising action, climax, and ending fit with everything hinted at during the early game. Admittedly, I'm looking at the game through rose tinted glasses, considering this is the game that I consider 'my childhood', but I played it all the way through just a few weeks ago, and it's still just as memorable and endearing. I highly reccomend this game. Final Fantasy X I'm actually surprised to hear so many positive opinions about X here. A lot of places that I've seen give it crap for a variety of reasons. I'm playing through the game again right now, and I'm surprised at just how much I remember. For many, this was the last 'true' Final Fantasy game. Since its release, several key members of the development team left Square for other projects and different companies. The game's characters are memorable, likable, and it does something I like a whole lot. In a sense, the game has two 'stories' going on, with one protagonist at any time. There's Tidus, blitzball star searching for a way back home, and Yuna, summoner novice that's trying to save the world from 'Sin', a giant monster that regularly wipes out areas where technology advances. For the first half of the game, Yuna is more of a main character than Tidus by far, and for a beautiful moment after one of the game's high points, they meet as equals in a very sweet scene, right as Tidus steps up, making it his job to save Yuna from the fate that awaits her at journey's end. Final Fantasy XI Never played this game, but I wanted to. Oh boy, did I want to. I had my character all planned out in my head. But, well, that's all in the past. Final Fantasy XII This is another game disliked by many, and while it's ~alright, most don't consider it a true Final Fantasy game. This is the only single player game before the current generation that I haven't completed, and I actually still have my collector's edition copy. Maybe I'll give you guys a review if I ever get around to playing it. Final Fantasy XIII A friend let me borrow it, but to be blunt, I can't be assed to play it when I already have Radiata Stories, all four original .hack games, and Star Ocean 3 to play. Final Fantasy XIV I feel this was a waste of a roman numeral, from everything I've heard. They could have just updated Final Fantasy XI into this. Besides, it was a total farce on release day, and they called the chocobos 'horse-birds', I'm not joking. I don't really care to get into the re-release, either. Final Fantasy XV Now this...this is a game I'm excited for. The gameplay, while more resembling Kingdom Hearts than Final Fantasy, looks AMAZING. I'm gonna buy it, no questions. WELL, that took a while, but that's my opinion on each main entry in the series.

I getcha, Rory. I've never developed a game in my life, but I think I've followed games enough to know that rushing is never a good idea, unless you're Duke Nukem Forever and you're ten years late already.. All I have to say is, implement the Kaguya when you launch Kiri and you'll have your number one fan, right here.

There's a meme for this. But fear not Konoha, I'll be there too, living out my pseudo American Psycho serial killer fantasies on your population! Mwahahaha!

Hey there, folks. Not much to see, just your standard new guy who wants to enjoy a Naruto roleplaying game. I'm a college student that's majoring in History, and in my spare time I dual class as a supergeek who is into a variety of geeky things. I like video games (they're my life), roleplaying, and all kinds of other things. I'm kinda sad that this game will only have Konoha at startup. Kiri for life!

My dream character? Hmm, that's a hard one. Considering we're talking a Konoha nin, probably a sociopathic wolf in sheep's clothing that's the kind of guy that always attracts attention, that not many can say they dislike. Highly efficient, an assassin, and a master of both Katon and Fuuton jutsu. The kind of guy that'd eventually go rogue and have his true colors as a complete monster come to light.
