You didn't "have to" stop and stock up. Usually, your supplies would fill as you advanced through the game. It's not like you needed to have 99 of all available spells at all times (save at the end of the game when you can get the to Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell! w00t!).
As for the Summoning-Compatibility, just get each person attached to only certain GFs. No one in good conscienceness would try to get all characters mediocre with all GFs!

FF9 was one of the best FF's! The plot was good and the abilty system was really good. The only problem I have with FF9, unlike 8, is the fact that you can train, train, train, and then go cream because monsters are always the same level. (At least I think). But yes, FF9 was short. It only took me like 5 days to get to the 4th disk. Experence the Game!

The reason FF7 took so long was because ofd endless jiberish... without that I reckon it would take about half as long to finish it. As I said I only played the start of FF9, (I think I gave up after the forest gets stoned bit) and all you really had was the princess, a castle and a cartoon charicter with a tail..
Suprisingly Shenmue first go round was pretty easy (took me about 4 days) but thinking about all the collection items, fighting scrolls, and music and game tapes the second go round is a lot harder...
I also read up that Shenmue was originally gonna be "virtual fighter RPG" I wondered why, its cause of the sweet battle system, you gotta pull of moves in a fighting style and its cool when people try to teach you them as they teach you what steps first, and why... its really sweet game, and a true RPG, RPG as in a game with a good story and many quests, adding the combat style makes it even better, but as every single conversation in the game is in voice not text, the first chapter of Shenmue just fits onto 4 CD's I will get Shenmue 2 and I will get whatever console is getting shenmue three...

You're blaming the fact that Zidane was a Genome on cartooniness?
And you call that a true RPG? And where the bloody Hel did you even get that game from? We weren't talking about anything close to it!
And just to say it, I don't care how good you thought that game was; it was only about 50% as cool as the original release? Why? Voices. If something comes from Japan and it ain't got the original Japanese voices, you know they changes stuff. With text, it's easy since they don't have lip-sync to fill. Voices make the videogames as wretched as dubbed anime -- it's suck-tastic!

err.. no, I suggest you go play it first.. .It is damn sweet and has the whole story in it, besides, apparently there is a Shenmue movie coming out soon, it will probobly not reach english shores so I'll have to order it from Japan with subtittles or somthing... I also heard it has chapter 1 2 and mabe 3 in the first movie, so its a must see for me! I am lord of the lair my lair

Okay, first off, I said it wasn't half as good as it was in Japan; I didn't say that the American version was bad, YFFI. I just said it was very VERY changed.
Second, if they never release the movie over here, you CAN'T get a subtitled version from over there (or at least a legal one :/). The only chance you'd have of getting it is buying a DVD with the English subtitle option and having a compatible player (I'm not quite sure what standard issue players are over in Australia; everywhere has a different code).

I would normally be irrate for someone reviving the second post ever made, and then other people feeding to that stupidity, but the debate is very current for me.
Just a while ago, some idiot at Game FAQs asked me whether or not I had an XBox. I said that it was a piece or garbage as it truly is. He said it was the best system ever. Microsoft is losing money on each unit they sell; the only reason it is still around is because Gates is so freakin' rich. That tells you that it cannot be a well-planned system since it is not profitable.
He said "no".
Whaddayamean "no"? 'Tis fact! Microsoft has reported such themselves! "No." Already, I should have just closed AIM, stepped away, and pommeled something stupid just to get all of my rage out, but like the fool I am, I did not.
Then he said it had to be the best because it had the best specs. Bloody Hel, specs are not everything! The Box has so many functions that is resources are spread; Cube has everything run through the graphical processor (save simple math functions) thus allowing some fly processing. On top of that, certain graphical chips are used to create better rendering, which all the processing power in the world could not help utilize. He said "no" again to all of this.
What is the freakin' point of arguing with someone about something they obviously know nothing about? No one answer that -- it was rhetorical.

I would have said the gamecube is better due to it having a sexy handle, so if you get the s***s with someone, you can backslap em with it. Still, nothing beats a goon box for slapping... Ahhh goon.

Well.. you heard him folks, now we can officially revive this post... yay!
Yea... I've heard Xbox is doing horribly now, I've laso heard GC isn't doing much better though...
PS2 is surviving at the moment (many believe because of the FF series), but if that is true, FF10-2 will kill Ps2. Many rumors say FF10-2 is the WORST Final Fantasy EVER! It totally rejects anything that make a Final Fantasy game what it is... and is chocked full of "Spice girls"-like moves, in which your character mindlessly dances around screen... while the enemy either runs away, or savagely beats you...
Being a sequel, it should cover the story from FF10, ALOT. It doesn't even do that from what I heard... There is supposedly few similarities between the famous FF10, and smelly FF10-2.
And another thing... It isn't even Turn-Based!!! It's more of an action Rpg, and doesn't follow the Final Fantasy tradition at all. Hence, squaresoft has FINALLY after all these years... screwed up a Final Fantasy.
Sorry for the rant, but... being a Final Fantasy fan... it drives me crazy for Squaresoft to ruin one...
But hey... I've only heard GOOD things about Crystal Chronicals, and Final Fantasy 11... ALL REJOICE!!! Yay!!!! The insignia of the Apocalypse engraved upon his blade. the day approaches...

The 'box doesn't have a handle is for a simple reason. If you slapped somebody with it, well let's just say that a tranced Zidane with the Ultima weapon hurts less. America actually dropped an X-box on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
G-Cube kicks tail. X-box can't sell anywhere except America, where there are enough morons to buy them.

First of all, I happen to be an AMERICAN!!! I hate it when people consider us stupid!
Wanna hear something? I'm on a college campus taking
electrical/computer - (programming) engineering at 15! Doesn't that strike you as at least SLIGHTLY intelligent? You don't live here, don't judge us by your biased views.
As for your comment about us all being "morons" who buy Xbox, I happen to OWN a Gamecube, and wouldn't touch an Xbox with a ten foot pole! However, I never really played Xbox (and probably never would) so of course, my views on Xbox vs. GC are also biased.
Oops... i ranted didn't i? cool
oh yea... Gamecube owns you all! The insignia of the Apocalypse engraved upon his blade. the day approaches...

Sorry Msanis But I too hate Americans, well not really EVERYONE in there, mainly the politicians and what not as they seem like the biggest bunch of f***s, I also try not to like too many American bands, as its practically impossible to see em, like NOFX is like my 2nd favorite band (how can you not love a band that sings about lesbians and female genitalia ) and I dont think I'll ever see em, might be seeing Me First and the gimme gimmes, never heard em, but Fat Mike is in it so it has to be sexual. and I heard Less Than Jake may be comin to Au soon too . but yeah, Americans on TV and the kind of stereotypical American gives me the s***s, its a free cuntree but if you burn the flag, you would be shot, and that is not part of freedom of speech in my opinion.
