Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

What is that Swedish sorcery

Draw system was one of the worst things they've done with the FF series, next to FF2s 'skillup' system. I actually kinda liked the salary based system and junctioning in itself

Aye, junction was neat in allocating magic to stats, but came with the drawback of having magic work as numeric consumables. Also I wasn't a fan of salary based income due to the fact that it came so intermittently and decreased in funds if you did not focus solely on the mission/story. Why should I be punished for exploring and doing as I wish? On the bright side, there wasn't really much to spend gil on in the first place. I almost never had to buy anything.

I hated the limited resources thing, I'm a person who tends to hoard onto things when they're like that. As a matter of fact I probably only used magic like a couple of times in the whole FF8. I almost cried when I had to use aura against uh..some weapon, don't recall if Ultima or Omega, the tough one.

IMO the best system was in IX. Learning passive traits, spells and abilities through various equipment, and learning it permanently once you've worn it long enough. Plus the magic stone thing for passive abilities made for a much more acute style of gameplay and creating advantages for yourself in various situations.

Weird dreams are weird.

Feel like I need a drink. X.x

Afternoon, everyone. How are we all today?

Huh, I have to check in on that. My salary always went down it seemed, even though I would grind, a lot.
Also it bummed me out that GFs had that level attribute bonus thing, but to make the most of it, it would essentially force you to rush through to get it before gaining too many levels.

Gaining SeeD ExperienceEdit

For every one enemy defeated the player gains a point of SeeD Experience. Enemies killed by Guardian Forces don't count. Every time the player's salary is paid they lose 10 SeeD Experience. When passing a written test the SeeD Experience is rounded to the next level. Several in-game events can increase or decrease the player's SeeD Exp. If the player handles all events perfectly, they can increase their rank with a total of 4.7.

Showing off Squall's gunblade to the two students sitting on the floor outside the second floor classroom lowers the player's rank by one; even if the player isn't a SeeD yet, it will later be deducted.
Trying to sneak out of Balamb Garden during the night of the SeeD graduation lowers the rank by one; if the player tries to leave three times, the rank will drop.
During the Timber train mission, if Squall is never detected by the guards he gains a SeeD rank. If he is detected fewer than ten times it has no effect on his rank, but if the guards spot him more than ten times his rank will drop.
The rank drops by one if the player escapes the Tomb of the Unknown King with the option available from the map.
The events in Missile Base can gain the player two ranks. See details here.
After defeating NORG there will be a male student outside the second floor classroom asking Squall to show him magic. If the player complies the player's rank decreases by one.
Completing the Master Fisherman quest in Fishermans Horizon will earn 20 SeeD Exp, 0.2 of a SeeD rank.
During Galbadian occupation of Balamb Town, depending on which method the player uses to find the captain, they will earn SeeD Experience: if they board the train they get 65 Exp, if they use the dog to sniff him out they get 100 Exp.
Completing the Shumi Village stone collecting quest will earn 50 SeeD Exp.
Defeating Ultima Weapon gives a whole SeeD Rank.

Damn I want to play FFIX again ...

I'd love to, if there were a new game+ and they removed the JPonry Jump Rope minigame.

Why not just skip it? lol
