The Old Skool Cult of Kefka, bitches!

LocoColt04 · 06-28-2004, 01:16 PM

We're cool, and we know it.

This used to be quite the thread(s), back in the day.
With that in mind, I'd love to invite all of the old members back in.
And if you were an old member and I've left you off, let me know. (it's been a while)

Now, if you'd like to join, you've gotta be partially evil. Whether it's your sense of humor, your sex life, or those three teenage girls you killed last week, you've got to be twisted in some way or another. And if we decide to be cruel and decline your application, don't bother us.

If you're wondering what we did in here... well, we did more or less whatever we wanted. Most of the time, things revolved around Kefka and evil, some of the other bosses from other games, and whatever games we happened to be playing at the time. That's right, it's got a touch of General Chat. Get over yourselves, you unworthy scum. And since I added the OSFFC part, a lot of focus will also be on the other great FFI-VII titles. Yes, most of us consider seven to be old skool. Once again, get over yourselves.

Member List:
• Kefka Cultist (Katalyst Chikai, CoK founder)

Although my name appears at the end of that list, I shall be glad to be the first to make an actual post in this thread. All that is good is bad and all that is bad is good. Remember that, folks, because if you even attempt to do a good deed thou shalt be flamed with the most unholy of flames by yours truly.

Now, to start a bit of random gaming conversation that does not necessarily revolve around Kefka or Final Fantasy VI...

What game are you currently playing? List as many as you are currently playing through with any sort of regularity, as well as where you are in the game so those of us who have played it can nod knowingly and such.

What game is the Magus Reddicus playing right now? Well, having vanquished Chaos in under six hours on Final Fantasy, I have moved on to the game known as Illusion of Gaia on the Super Nintendo. Right now I am in the underwater palace of Muu, having already aquired two of the statues in the game. I must say, Freedan is such a bad-ass character...to bad he is not of the villianous type! He would rock as an evil-dude!

LocoColt04 · 06-28-2004, 02:20 PM

Hey, I just listed them as I remembered them.

The current games on my platter include:
Final Fantasy VI (on the SNES, where it belongs) - between WoB and WoR
Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance - it uhh... got wiped. I'll start over in a few days.
Soul Calibur II (GameCube version) - it's on loan from Jesse. I play every two or three days. I've done maybe 20% of the stuff. Cervantes is one of my favorites; the fact that he's uber-evil is just a plus. I'm really good with him. And Ivy. She rocks.

I've got a million more that I do from time to time, but these are my current fixes. I go through phases with all of my games. All my pretty new shooters are dormant. >_<;;

Dawezy · 06-28-2004, 03:17 PM

Who else remembers those days? Man, that was... well over a year ago. Damn.

So Dawes, what games do you have going?

Dawezy · 06-28-2004, 03:56 PM

good times that, i should revive the OSFFC somewhere on the forums.

As for what games i got going, well, as that pasted chat has foretold, yes, i have been playing the hell out of FF3j lately. The names were made in honour of the OSFFC, which shows how long ago i started playing the damn thing lol. Anyway, enough of that, im in the dungeon which is... probably 15 boss battles away from the last badass. Heh, i plan to level up my guys something chronic though, but its been made easier since i just got my hands on the following uber weapons;

Holy Spear
Masamune
FullMoon
Ragnorak
Excalibur
Eldest Staff

Plus, with that Eldest Staff i got my hands on the Sage & Ninja jobs.. and, well, hot damn, that Sage is one of the most powerful classes i have seen O.O.. as far as magic goes, and it had some insane attack/defense/magicattk&def but heh, i'll post up a screenshot or two. You can also check out http://dawezy.squareultima.com/ff3 for the REST of the screenshots, i plan to be around Level... 60 or so, before i go into the other part of the forbidden lands. Already completed Eureka, and that was damn well hard enough on those levels. >.<

I'll attach these 2 Red.Wiz pictures for our resident Magus Reddicus.

Just to see the MP of the magic i can wield, compared to FFI and the 9MP limit (thats right isnt it?)

Enjoy, i still got a while to go..

As for other games im playing.. eh.. Manhunt (PS2), FFX-2 (PS2), FFXI (PC), Crash Bandicoot - Ripto's Rage (GBA), Shining Force - Ressurection of the Dark Dragon (GBA). Etc etc.

I need to be more active...

if anything, I never joined in before, but its kewl that I got accepted.

Im currently in a Shoot Em' Up fix, so I've been playing a couple of favorites:

Thunder Force 3/4
R-Type 3

but im trying to get these games because There are alot more shoot em' ups than you think:

Darius series
Twinbee series
Layer Section Trilogy
Gradius Gaiden

so I have to some searching.

that, and I've been cranking up Guilty Gear XX, nothing like a feeling of beating the crap out of opponents with Justice (evil character, ill get into him later).

Im thinking of Cranking my old FF3 Rom to get in the FF biz if possible, but its going to be really hard now since im into Twitch Gaming now.

Dauragon · 07-01-2004, 05:33 AM

What is this? I get an email saying "you have received a private message from LocoColt04". So I said, why not check it out, it's been ages since I last checked out the boards. So I come here, am surprised by the colours, again, and by the fact that all the clubs are gone. But I see that in my PM the CoK has been revived. Not only that, Arkaine is actually posting again!

Seems more like the Old Skool Club to me...but that's all good. It'd be good if KC ever showed up, I seem to recall him appearing for a day and then disappearing. Members of the Cult? Hell, I only remember one other one and that was Alias, but I think she's long gone. That's from the RP that I have saved somewhere on my computer.

Games? Playing? Uhhh...I suppose Smackdown 5 would be my current choice. Always liked a good wrestling game. I haven't played any FFs in awhile, let alone RPGs.

Yes, the sage kicks the ass.

Anyway, I suppose you're knowledge of FF3 now exceeds mine Dawezy, shit, I haven't played it in over a year.

Well, it's good to be back. Again. For the third time. I've also noticed many former inactive members around the boards, so it's all good.

Scorpian · 07-01-2004, 01:47 PM

What's really funny is...i was gonna be the first to post in this..but all the damn popups and spyware that seems to go with this board these days totally fubard my system for bit..end result my post didn't get up there graah..anyways..yeah...my OSing these days has actually been a lotta of the MM games thatnks to MM Aniversary for PS2 though heh, i'm working my way through FF1 on Origins, just having gotten class change so it's ON now heh

Oh yeah i'm definatly reinto this club, show mwe an X and i'll sign it LOL

Psiko · 07-01-2004, 04:13 PM

Dawezy, bravo for those screen shots! Red Mage 0wns all so far in that game, especially in that very first cave...you know which one I'm talking about. Besides, someone who can use both Cure and Fire by mastering just one class? What could be better than that?

As far as Final Fantasy III goes, I'm in the midst of the dragon mountain pass, leveling up a bit before progressing. Almost time to go dragon slaying, which I am sure my beloved sis, DragonHeart, would cringe at.

Anywho, as of now I have the fourth totem in Illusion of Gaia and I am kicking so much ass in this game that it isn't even funny. Take Zelda, add in the RPG element and you've got a game I can master with ease. The real challenge? There is only a total of 12 herbs in the game, and once they are all used up they are gone for good. You have to use them sparingly, which can suck at times...thankfully the occasional Dark Space (Save Point) heals you before saving the game otherwise the game would be impossible to beat without mastering the timing of every enemy and boss along the way.

Anywho, enough idle ramblings, how about a topic related to our beloved Final Fantasy VI to debate about? How about this one: How do you spread out your characters when entering Kefka's Tower? Do you place the super-strong ones in one group and hope the others can carry their own weight, or do you balance them out in some manner?

I, myself, try to do as much balancing as I can. For instance, in my last Save File my four main characters were Sabin, Setzer, Strago and Gau. In one group I placed Sabin and Setzer, my two strongest physical fighters, along with Edgar and Gogo. I placed Strago in the second group, which was a magic-dominant group with Terra, Celes and Relm. Finally, in the last group was Gau, Shadow, Locke and Cyan. All in all it worked quite well, I think. My muscle group took the hardest path, making short work of the fiercest bosses along the way. Bouts of Ultima and Grand Train demolished the mediocre bosses, leaving the weaker ones for my "Etcetera" group, which was still a good group but paled in comparison to the others.

LocoColt04 · 07-01-2004, 04:27 PM

You know... I was thinking. What if I turned this into the CoK/OSFFC thread? I'd forgotten that AU was actually OSFFC and not CoK... but then we'd get the best of both worlds, right?

So from now on, this is officially the Cult of Kefka AND the Old Skool Final Fantasy Club.

YAY!!! Oh, and I've invited my friend Jae to join, because he's just our type.

Balancing... always.
It's usually lopsided balancing; I work a party up to level 80 and then take one member and go level up some others, then grab another and take some more, etc.

I've yet to have a single save file where every single character is at level 99, but I had one where all but Relm, Strago, Shadow, Gogo, and Mog were there. Those five were sitting around level 70. Well, Gogo was closer to 50. That's probably the closest I've come to having a whole party... and nine people at 99 is insane enough already. Most of the time though, I get the party average to be 85... which always owns.

Balancing magic? Always as well. Everyone who can learn magic knows almost every single spell, Ultima included. Even though Ultima is useless in FFVI. Or at least it is when you uber-level like I do.

Balancing weaponry? You better believe it. Anything that can be bought or traded (Colisseum) is in multiples. My weapon list for the current file already has over a hundred weapons because of all the levelling I do. I can afford it, and each character always has the best stuff. Edgar was equipped with a double lance for a while, and Mog held the same lance. Yay for Genji Gloves!

Kefka's Tower? With every save file I have, I designate a definite four to do the brunt of the work and lead the way to kicking Kefka's tail. My four for the current file are Edgar, Mog, Strago, and Setzer. However, since everyone is usually around the same levels, it doesn't really matter who I put where. I've had a couple of files where I actually just picked randomly without even looking at the screen. I had some lopsided teams, but still owned the game.

Dauragon · 07-02-2004, 04:14 AM

Pretty much the same for me. I usually have the same four, Cyan, Terra, Edgar and Sabin get the most uber, and split them up 50/50 into two other parties for Kefka's tower. I always get the Moogle's charm, and give it to mog, and have him take the weakest characters, which aren't exactly weak, but just not as strong as my main four. That way, I can avoid a far amount of trouble. Still gotta do those boss fights, but they aren't much trouble. I definitely get the ultimate weapons, and try for the two Atma weapons, although I've only gotten both of them twice....

Dawezy, you've inspired me to start up a game of FF3j again!
