Hello my fellow RPs.Â

Its my first thread post...

I started this thread to see what games everyone is playing to pass the time between server maintenance and issues of unable to log in. I'm currently playing Records of Agarest War and Diablo 3, when it comes out for console. I tried to do Battlefield 3 & COD Black Ops 2 but those games take me out of my RP state of mind. FFxiv is such a good game MMORPG that games like DC Universe Online & Defiance is difficult to go back to. I guess because of the fact that they're action MMOs but I can't do it after FFxiv. My RPG roots are coming back to surface after all these years of FPSs.Â

So let me know what games you guys are playing while we wait for Yoshida and his team to expand the servers, ready the patches and let us go back to annihilating the creatures of Eorzea. Big Grin

A few months ago I returned to WoW, then a week or so ago I dropped WoW for GW2. At the very least, GW has taught me to avoid standing in one place and trying to kill things-- mostly because it just doesn't work.

Ever since I started talking with a friend from the RPC again a few days ago, my drive for FFXIV has returned full force. I have a computer that can run the game well, good internet, a tablet, and I can finally afford to buy it and maybe, just maybe maintain a subscription. Then I find out I can't even buy it until this whole mess is over.

I'd still be playing GW2 to help pass the time but I can't seem to bring myself to do it. I'll probably take up doing a bout of tablet sketches for play L4D with my cousin for the next two or so days.

Usually it'd be WoW and GW2, though recent events have led me to uninstall both games due to my strong feelings in regards to some of the more questionable business practices and tactics that they've been employing.

Skyrim has kept me busy lately, as has the occasional bit of Minecraft, Vagrant Story, Dead Island and Final Fantasy XII. I've also got a pretty huge backlog of games I need to get around to playing but since they're not exactly the 'pick up and play' sort they've sadly been left to gather dust!

I...um...downloaded a PS1 emulator and started playing FFT. I do this while a script spams 0, courtesy of Crow Bookkeep http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=4127. Currently grinding those early levels to crazily outlevel the main story lol

Buy a Vita and play it on there Big Grin

! The PSP version has cutscenes and voice acting :o oooooooooh. I honestly always felt that Tactics Ogre was a way better game than FFT. I am not saying I didn't really enjoy FFT though, because I did. I just think it had a superior battle system and story.

Let's see...

A bit of derping around Shadowrun Returns...

A bit of derping around Recettear...

A bit of derping around GW2...

A bit of derping around NWN2...

A bit of playing DoW Soulstorm with friends.

Wow for my part, but also investing this free time to have a suitable backstory for Hansem and creating his wiki page.

I spent a good chunk of time in Rift today. If tomorrow and the days after are anything like today and the days previous... it's where I'll continue to be for quite a while. *sigh*

That's how I play FFT too. I remember having a few crazy teams like all ninjas and all samurais with different sub abilities. I have the NES, Super NES and SEGA emulators on my laptop. You're making me want to go back and play crono trigger or FF1-3. While we wait an eternity for SE to open up the flood gates.

I kinda did the same thing for FFxiv. I'm on PS3, so I bought a refurbished Â backwards compatible PS3 had a friend beef up the storage by 200 gigs. Next pay day I'll buy an afterglow controller and I'll be good to go. Â

btw try out an emulator and relive so good memories. imo the Super NES.

The call knows where you live. Crono Trigger was also one of my ROMs. I still have the actual cartridge too LOL

I went the poor, cheap route lol. My friend played Tactics Ogre and had nothing but good things to say about it.

Poker Night at the Inventory when I want to hang with a glass of scotch and a nice smoke. Nothing like playing poker with all my favorite cartoon characters.

Kerbal Space Program pretty much every other time. After many lives lost and several dozen pretty explosions, the Kerbals have finally launched a satellite into orbit. The Buttnik Probe program is considered a success, and now we will move on to launching random objects at the Mun.

Nhyra · **09-03-2013, 11:01 AM**

Today I picked up Journey as I have heard so much of it. Gotta admit that a working game is such a relief after the server ruckus.

Bf's been playing this Kerbal Space Program and is now trying to figure out some strategy game for us to play... But what if I want a fantasy mmo >>

Asyria · **09-03-2013, 01:18 PM**

If you guys love FFT, consider grabbing the PSP remake.
It has more speshul classes (like Dark Knight! or was it Black Knight?Â and Onion Knight) and another cool special character (Luso) and is better translated.

Z'karu · **09-03-2013, 03:43 PM**

Rayman Legends came out today, I'm probably going to be killing time playing it

I also picked up Killer Is Dead, I'm amazed a Suda 51 game flew over my radar, I loved Killer7/No More Heroes

You'll have to sit through an advertisement but 'pause ahead' isÂ neat little free title on adult swim games. Soundtrack is pretty beast too.
