As far as the main topic goes, a long-update is expected and the longer it is, the more suspensful/ambitious I'll be of getting into the expansion pack!

Go figure: I have a day off to finally play and there's maintenance. Ah, well... could be worse.

It's a holiday in Canada. Easter Monday as we call it (Or "Lundi Saint" if you're in Quebec, apparently). Not sure if it's a holiday in the states, but it's not really even a traditional holiday in Canada... that is to say, not all workplaces give it as a day off to employees. I'm lucky enough to have the extra day, though

Re: PlayOnline Server Maintenance (Apr. 17)

Yeah, I'll be at work, on the boards and playing my PSP and/or DS. So it's all right with me. lol So just as I'm getting off work the maint will end. ^^ So I can go home, update and play. (Well hopefully. Last time they had something like this, it went over a little.)

Sorry for you guys who won't be able to play!

Re: PlayOnline Server Maintenance (Apr. 17)

You do realize it's best not to level up right? If you don't level up and equip magic to your stats the game is insanely easy.

OT anecdote: My friend who loves to break games played through FF8 and stopped leveling as soon as he got the Card ability, so he froze all his characters levels at like level 3 or 4. Then he took all the cards he turned all the enemies into and refined them into magic that he refined into higher level magic so he had like 99 of all the spells except Ultima and Pain before he left Balamb, so his stats were nuts. Then he got to the part of the game where you can get Cactaur GF, which boosts all your stats every time you level up with it, killed two members of his party and then leveled everyone one at a time with Cactaur so their stats were super retarded even with no magic junctioned.
