Video Games
I love playing console RPGs (Role Playing Games).
I don't like playing online, but rather like the ability to hit pause at any time,
do whatever I want, and then resume the game when I am ready.
My favorite series is Final Fantasy,
although there are some other nice RPGs out there.
I have written some FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
about some of these games.
You can find text versions of this FAQs on
GameFAQs.
Here is a list of those files:
-
Chrono Trigger Endings
-
I created this FAQ when original Chrono Trigger was released for the SNES.
It has updated for each release of the game.
-
If you aren't familiar with this game,
it had a lot of endings,
depending on when you beat the final boss.
-
Gambit System for Final Fantasy XII
-
This game introduced a new AI combat control.
Rather than the traditional turn-based combat style,
you can essentially program each character in your party
to behave according to a wide variety of conditions and actions.
What makes this even more interesting
is that the gambit system uses a functional programming style,
rather than the procedural programming methodology which most programmers are familiar with.
-
Items and Enemies for Final Fantasy XII
-
I created a tool that generates a cross-reference FAQ that lists
the enemies, where they are located, and what items can be obtained from the enemy.
This FAQ cross-references enemy, item, and location,
so you can see what enemies are in what location,
what items can be obtained from a given enemy,
and where a given item can be found and from what enemy.
-
Recruitment Guide for Radiata Stories
-
This is a really great RPG by Square-Enix,
the makers of Final Fantasy,
that allows the player to recruit a large number of characters.
Furthermore,
it takes at least two times through the game to recruit all characters.
Each character has a different method of being recruited,
and sometimes can only be recruited at specific times.
-
This FAQ explains when and how you can recruit all the characters,
and why you might want to recruit each character.
-
Items and Enemies for Lost Odyssey
-
This FAQ was the original file generated by the tool I wrote
to cross reference items, enemies, and locations.
-
Final Fantasy IV Game Plus Guide
-
This was the first "real" Final Fantasy game I ever played.
It was on my Super Nintendo System (SNES).
It was recently released again for the Nintendo DS,
and added some new features
that requires you to play the game several times
before you truly complete the game.
