Kreuz Control: SHOCKMASTER!, Genesis, Apex

[Thorpacolypse]

never played the games, and other people have put stats to mr. 47, so why should i write up an inferior knock-off?

If you do see (or have seen) the movie, though, it would be interesting to see your take on that Agent 47. He's really quite a different character than the game version.

True dat. I'm going to work on him shortly.

I take that remark about inferior knockoffs personal, Kreuz. Inferior knockoffs are a staple of the J-Mart business!

[Kreuzritter]

look, i'm just saying all i've heard is bad press about the movie, and this 47 is just the same guy Vin Diesel always plays, just in a suit.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

besides, I have bigger plans, plans which I have only just set in motion.

you see, I have so many converts to write, and only 19 days left in which to do them. and that's not counting updates.

so, for the next while, Kreuz control is proud to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy.

if it's between 6 and 10, i'll be covering it. spinoffs will also be covered, depending on my familiarity with them.

Well, the best thing about the movie was the Iron Man trailer (which ROCKED, I cannot wait for that movie) but it wasn't that bad.

I am glad they were smart enough to not even bother with a real plot, just let him shoot a lot of people and blow stuff up, which is what an action flick is all about. I enjoyed it, but I had no expectations since I had not played the game either.

I look forward to your Final Fantasy builds. FF7 changed my gaming expectations forever.

the sniper for FFX's party, Wakka's all about ranged combat, able to peg a fiend between the eyestalks at 100 paces. i'd say more, but it's late and i'd mostly be swiping from rpg.net's brandon Schmelz

"When you think about it, Wakka's an atypical Final Fantasy character. His background is fairly simple, he's a decent guy, his bravado doesn't hide some deep sort of insecurity - he's just a nice guy who wants to do the right thing. And is in over his head."

the narrator/main character of Final Fantasy X, Tidus is your classic dashing swordsman, using wit, charm, and athletic prowess to get the drop on the enemy. and while he may not be much in the brains department, but in terms of party dynamics, he'll make an excellent faceman if he has an idea of what's going on, but for the events in game, that role falls squarely on Yuna's shoulders

to break the monotony of FFX builds, here's zell, the devil may care powerhouse martial artist/comedy releif of Final Fantasy 8, a self taught brawler, Zell is unmistakably a 'hard/external' fighter, his style a mix of western kickboxing and kung fu, with a pinch of wrestling

in watching Zell's limit breaks, i decided to not go comepletely over the top, and so use zell's feats and the occasional hero point to meet the move of your choice.

[JoshuaDunlow]

Awesome stuff!

[dwellerofthedeep]

Good Final Fantasy builds. Maybe, though I never finished FFX, I got the impression that they can breathe underwater as a human racial trait. It seems strange to me if they do but it almost seems like they should.

EDIT: I'm basically joking.

EDIT: I'm basically joking.

and you'd be correct to joke, because they can't. they can stay down longer as a setting feature (in the prologue to X-2, yuna states she's learned how to hold her breath for a couple of minutes), while other sources have stated there's something in spiran water that makes it slightly more oxygenated.

at any rate, that's why Wakka and tidus have the endurance feat, as opposed to Auron who, suffering grievous injuries fought his way up and down mount gagazet and hallfway across the Calm lands before finally collapsing. yeah, that sounds like the endurance feat to me

[dwellerofthedeep]

Okay, cool. I'm glad there's an explanation.

the suordinate tank of FFX's party, Kimahri is a mix of dragoon and blue mage, in addition to his innate abilities asa Ronso (incidently, while kihmari is 7'6 and otherwise physicly superior to everyone else, he's actually a runt in comparison to the other Ronso)

the strong, silent type, Kimahri is perhaps Yuna's most devout protector, the first at her side in any situation, be it her collapsing from the exhaustion of a summoning ritual, fighting off a pack of fiends, or (like any concerned father figure,) running interference on would-be suitors like Tidus

[JoshuaDunlow]

Nice Kimahri build!

[Michuru81]

I love your Final Fantasy X builds so much, I want to runaway to Vegas with them and start a new life with them. We'll have 2.5 children (one will be a midget), a dog and a picket fence.

Pulchritudinous builds, good sir.

the spiritual prrecursor to FMA's roy mustang, Edgar similarly hides his technical and political abilities behind the cover of his womanizing antics, with the main difference being it's not really an act for edgar, he really is a womanizing playboy who'd rather try to get lucky than run his kingdom. however, he's stuck with the crown, so he's going to be the best damn king he can be.
