i guess youll like my sig then...? good 'ol Vincent Valentine, only problem is i dunno what the gameplay is gonna be like... i hope its gonna be something like DMC3, thatd be hektik. only problem is, there already working on a DoC2, i really hope they dont kill the FFVII franchise...

KHII is gonna be the sheezy, theyve got so many FF characters in there:

Cloud, Sephiroth (again, as an extra boss, but has more to do with cloud this time), Aerith, Tifa, Cid, Yuffie, Yuna Rikku and Paine (as fairies), Leon, that little magician from FFIX, some more characters from FFV and VI

im kinda dissapointed Red-XIII, Vincent or Cat sith arent in there... but ohwell KHII is gonna rock my socks.

you actually have to fight against Yuffie, Leon Cloud and tifa by yourself in the 49th hades cup match... with no donald or goofy get prepared for that!

Mickey is also playable in some parts.

Cant Wait for this dam game...

Not really playing any RPG's at the moment, the only ones i really enjoy are made by square and i dont know if any have recently come out...

but if you could recommend a sick Japanese RPG thats decent preferrably with summons or something along those lines thatd be cool ^_^

also, does anyone have a FFVII that they no longer want anymore? i REALLY dont want to buy off ebay, so if anyone has a copy itd be very much appreciated.

Good news it plays very similar to DMC, well ive only played the 1st 2 for about 1/2 an hour a piece. U get 3 guns to toggle through and u can upgrade them as u go on. I played it for about an hour, really didnt wanna stop but cos i cant understand Japanese theres no point.

With Kingdom Hearts (the 1st) does it get more advanced later on? Im all about sidequests!! I only played untill a... dang i cant remember it was in a town at night not far into it, pretty sure Donal and Goofy where with me and i had to fight a boss/ Spewing i didnt though, do u know if the sequel is a direct sequel? U reckon ill have to play the 1st so i can enjoy the story more?

With recommending a sik RPG, its hard theres so many good ones out and coming out. Im playing and in love with Dragon Quest 8 atm and its awesome!! If u want something with a manga flavour Tales of Legendia has alot of manga/anime cutscenes and is visually gorgeous!!

Ive got FF7(pretty sure its NTSC USA) somewhere on PS1 i can copy it for ya if u like just soot me a PM and gimme a lil cos imoutta blank cds and dunno where i put it :P

you might want to complete KH1, its not very hard, but it will DEFINETLY help with kh2. in some town at night with donald and goofy... hmmm well traverse town is the one you start of in and the only boss you fight is "armour" and "reverse armour", ummm im thinking you where in Halloween town about to fight Oogie Boogie, hes an easy boss. well really theyre all relatively easy.

but anyway it will definetly give you a heads up in Sora's story. KH2 is 1 year after KH1, and inbetween kh1 and 2 there was a game released on GBA called Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, this game was pretty poo as the fighting was card based, the only thing it was good for was introducing the new characters.

Nomura made KH2 so that new people can just jump on and play it with no trouble, your introduced a new character Roxas who has a certain connection to Sora.

in KH2 you also get drive forms, you use forms when you FUSE with either donal goofy or both.

Wisdom Form = Sora+Donald

sora's costume changes to blue, and his magic increases in strength as he fights, gives you more of a variety of magic and you can also use magic inbetween combos.

Valor Form = Sora+Goofy

Sora's costume changes to red, and he is FINALLY able to weild TWO (thats right, TWO) keyblades!!! his strangth is greatyly increased, and the combos are increased.

Master Form = Sora+Donald+Goofy

Sora's costume changes to Yellow, his magic is increased, he is also able to wield 2 keyblades.

Final Form = Sora+Donald+Goofy

Sora's Costume changes to Silver, this form is alot like Master, except sora's strength is increased and he manipulates thekeyblades with his mind, so he doesnt actually use his hands, the keyblades just float around him.

Anti Form = Sora+anyone

All of sora turns completely black with a smokey residue, his eyes glow yellow and instead of a keyblade he gets claws. this form is basically a heartless sora, which is acheived when you "form" too much. pretty much his speed dramaticly increases his strength decreases, he is also able to jump massive lengths at a time, not advised to use when in a boss fight.

you can find out more about the drive forms here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_2#Drive_Forms

These Drive Forms are a big plus in kh2, instead of having crappy Trinitys you now get forms.

this game is alot darker and more mature than kh1. there is also a new enemy, Organization XIII which consists of 13 members who all have different and unique abilities, but i dunno what there purpouse is yet, i dont wanna spoil it for me too much

if you want you can go to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Heart...ain_of_Memories

if you dont wanna complete kh1 and CoM, theyll just tell you what happened. when you see the name xehanort, just think of ansem.

i hope ive still got my chipped ps1 for FFVII 0.0

also, dragon quest, thats made by square, maybe i should give that a go... do you get specialmonsters or anything in it?

my first RPG ever was legend of dragoon and that was the bomb cause you basically formed into a dragon/human thing. so im sorta used to have summons etc... sept that dam FFX-2 that couldve been better

Edited by SKYLVIA

Thanks for the info SKY, gonna read up hopefully i get time to play KH2, theres just too many good RPG's out and on theyre way.

Dragon Quest 8 is awesome, im about 70% through it and ive nudged over 110 hours on it, oh and my characters are only on level 38!!!! Game is HUGE!!!

Yes theres special monsters, u kill them then later on u make a monster fighting team for te monster arena, one of the many sidequests!!!

Just finished playing Final fantasy 12 WOW What can i say

This game is UNREAL!

Very hard to tell whats going on cos i dont know a thing JAP.

I had to get this, not to be one of the 1st's to play it but i just cant wait another 6 months

But heres what ive found so far after playing for just over an hour:

-No Subtitles (Duh!)

-Heaps of Maps

-In game text can be re-read

-Load times are pretty bad(but graphics are just amazing), seems to get a lil better as they cut scenes died down(But my PS2 laser aint in the best condition).

-The 'Vagrant Story' style fighting is fine, its basically like the old one I think they included this so more than the usual 3 or 4 players can join in also(U will understand when u play). Shame on ALL of you who doubted square, seriously what where u thinking?

-The story looks like its gonna be awesome as usual, but i slowly thought the series died down after 8, nine was ok, ten i think i only played all the way through cos it was a FF and i havent even bothered to play X-2(not even seen the intro), and havent played 11 cos im not into and have never played online RPG's, maybe when my PC can handle it ill give it a go.

-The 1st town is HUGE!!!

-Looks like it may be mission based

-Doesnt look like the free-roaming world map is back

This game seems highly polished from what ive seen and theyve added a whole bunch of new stuff.

1 thing that has me stumped is the size of the game, its only 4gig flat, seems very small to me i thought they would have put this onto a DVD9 or 2 DVD's,(or at minimum a DVD full to the brim) i hope its not short!!!

I'm impressed by you guys, playing Jap version games...I've got one of my friend who played since ff7, all Jap vesion....I thought he can read Japanese...but he just remembered what the symbol look like..

claps

:) I only got this game cos i couldnt wait just like FFVII: DoC i only play it for a lil to get a taste, then ill wait for the English release. DoC i played for about an hour, this however i cant put down and im about 6 hours into it :O

lol i didnt know FFXII was out yet... didnt it come out a couple of days ago?

is the story line ok??

i thought FFX story line was just great. FFX-2, story line was sick, no summons or decent fighting gave it a crap rating from me

apparently FFXII characters are alot like FFX?

if you could elaborate on the FFXII story thatd be cool ^_^

i dont really get psyched over FF's unless i hear something good about them... ever since FFX-2... T.T

Ive completed FF6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

8 was cool 9 and 10 started getting shiyte,6 and 7 being my favs and i reckon once i get this in English this will be at the top!!

Cant really tell whats going on as i cant understand any JAP, still figuring out all the leveling system and buying system and so on.

But it seems like the story is PHUKN AWESOME, so are the characters, dang the whole games just killer, this sh!ts all over FF10!

Found a site with the FMV videos of FFXII and theres also 2 in there of KH2 so i thought id post it up for ya SKYLVIA:

http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user...wnpaablo&page=2

SKY: what other FF's have u played? And what other RPG's on the PS2/PS1?

Also have u seen the Official Kingdom Hearts 2 Site??

Ive been checking it out, damn looks good, think ill be playing part one 100%.

I checked out the 1st's site and realised i stopped playing in Traverse Town.

Looks like Auron (FFX) is in it also.

yeah i might go to youtube and look at some vids... i dont really mind spoiling myself for FFXII

youtube also has all kh2 clips along with pretty much everything except pornography...

a friend in USA has recieved KH2 Eng. Ver. early... so hes chucked up a few vids :)

i dont find the websites that great honestly... its pretty much VERY stock info

you fight against Hades and also Cerberus with Auron inwhich you can do a special dual attack with... looks pretty cool ^_^

only FF's ive played are FFIX, FFX and X-2... i didnt play much of IX, the clips were pretty, the story line didnt grab me though...

i absoloutly loved FFX's story line, the clips were marvolous and very colourful, the characters were great, summons were awesome. all in all id give it a 10/10. i didnt complete it though... i got up to the bit before yuna is forced to marry seymore... vs'ing the dragon on the airship... god that thing was a bitch... i might go watch the clips after that...

FFX-2 was sorta crap... they took out summons :) it was nice to see some familiar destinations and see how people have moved on like wakka being with lulu... paine was an interesting character but i dont remember there being much depth into her history... the clips in this were also great... the concerts were suprisingly awesome. the gameplay was sorta poo... thats what didnt grab me... the story line continuation was great though. i give it a 7.9 i also didnt complete this game

and as FFVII wont be re-made i might just have to get the PS version of it :mad:

ok, a game that absoloutly PWND on PS would have to be legend of dragoon, that game was the first and one of the best story-lined RPG's ive EVER played... this game was mentioned to rival Square-Soft's (back then) Final Fantasy series, these CG scene's were absoloutly great... i recommend this a MUST for any RPG player. 10/10

Ah so your still a lil fresh to RPG's :)

Theres a whole bunch i could recommend to play, but with KH2 out in a week theres no point in starting anything yet.

Started to play Legend of Dragoon a lil back in the day, but im sure there was some other RPG that took my attention away from it(even had the official guide), didnt think it was that good, pity i didnt play it through, now theres too many more games out or coming out that are aboe that on the list to play.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
