Am I the only person bothered that a Vivi Valve affects Cure Potency?

Why not tea? I'm not saying that because I'm English or that I think tea is TOTALLY awesome, but come on, there's a tea house in Whitegate. And well you give that Automaton thief a cup of chai brewed with the finest sleeping potion across the land, one given by a pervert. If my automaton could make me a cup of tea, my life (or rather lack of, come on guys, we're MMORPG geeks, I don't think anybody here can claim to have a life) would be complete.

Tea?.... TEA?!? What the... TEA?


...

Well why not? 1 cup please!

Actually...

True fact.

I usually have certain names for characters I use in games, if I can change them. Especially so in the Role Playing types. For example Vivi is rather alien to me as a FFIX name. It does not make me think of the FFIX Vivi, nor Dagger/Garnet or Steiner respectively...

Now that I think about it, I re-name them all. Quina for example is always Pizzoza to me. ^^
Actually I use very few of the set names in any of the games but anyways, that's sort of off the topic, excuse me while I start playing one of the oldies once again, got that feeling now grrr. Maybe play 1 and 2 in a row again hmmm...

I used to play the games over a friend's house, and we'd rename the characters. I can't remember for the life of me what we named most of the characters, though. I know where we got the idea for Quina's name, but I'll be damned if I ever remember to look it up or ask him.

I am way too lazy to think of names for characters unless I have to. The original Breath of Fire, before I actually knew that the main character was canonically named Ryu, I called him "Hero." Yes, I am that lazy. And limited by four characters.

And I've been debating going through an FF marathon at some point. I kinda want to finish IX and IV before I start it, though, since I'm at the end of both of those. >_> Can't beat Necron in IX though.

Isn't there some type of lore-based force at work called vivification or something? I know I've heard this term from NPCs or something.

There are also "vivified" objects in the game.

Vivified Coral
Vivified Mythril

These are used for crafting Reraise items.

Then there's the Vivio items, which have a nearly identical item description.

Vivio Crab Shell
Vivio Femur
Vivio Platinum
Vivio Scorpion Claw
Vivio Sheep Skin
Vivio Wyvern Scale

All of the Vivio items are used in the recipes for the "Healing" body armors like Healing Vest and Healing Mail.

Paksenarrion,

Hero is not a bad name at all heh, and I think many of the names I use are/were the usual names my friends would use in RPGs and whatnot and eventually I might make up some alterations or mixtures of them and would be able to name several characters and due to the nature of Final Fantasy games, there usually were suitable characters for all the names, or well, at least to me they suited them well which is quite interesting now that I think of it.

And oh yeah the character limitations for the names in some games... sigh!


Also, what is there to debate about the marathon?
Goferit!

The debate goes how to do it. If I want to finish IX and IV first, do I replay those when I get to them? Which version of the game do I play? I'm also missing access to V and VI, but I'm sure I could probably find them at Gamestop somewhere (I have no idea where my GBA games went, they kinda disappeared sometime when I moved. I just recently found my copies of DS III and IV. I've been playing PSP IV.).

The last time I think I named characters after friends was FF1 on GBA, where I named the characters after friends from FFXI that played that job.

Have to play the original versions. Of course that should prove challenging considering the conflict between the English and Japanese numbers. For the games that are affected by this, you'll have to either A) play them in japanese, B) find translated versions or C) play the remakes.

All I know is that I wouldn't be able to do such a marathon as I've never been able to force myself to play through even the first disc of ffvii because I find it unbearably bad unlike some people. The rest I'd be able to do though, if I could find my long lost copy of X.

Also...don't count X-2 in your marathon...just...not...worthy...of a place...in a gaming marathon... (though unlike 7 I was actually able to force myself through that atrocity).

inb4 "you're taste in games sucks, go play ffxiii (i would, gladly), ffvii is the greatest game eva omfgwtfbbq *school girl scream* Sephiroth is teh awesome!"

And yes ^ that was a blatant mocking of people who are over-zealous about ffvii. I've got nothing against the game (despite not being able to bear it), my problem lays with its "fans". /rant

I thought calling it the Vivi Valve was more of a sarcastic joke. Pretty funny when I read it anyways.
