Final Fantasy Tactics : Fourth Chapter, I really like this game so far. Except for that one battle where I had to yell / accumulate 50 times.

Final Fantasy 12 : Attempting to kill #2 Gilgamesh. (Looking for him) I beat the game and I wasn't really impressed with the story, or much of the battle system. Some of the events were really cool though.

Final Fantasy 3 (DS) : I just got off the mountain in the beginning of the game.. The story seems kind of.... forced... (OMG You're all light warriors! Go save the crystals!! OMG You're all orphans too!)

Final Fantasy 8 : Fourth Disc. Still trying to get through the last dungeon. Don't like this game too much... It takes so long drawing magic from enemies.

Warcraft 3 SinglePlayer Campaign : I can't play online for any game anymore and I can't install directX because one of my folders in my PC is apparently missing.. lame.. but I love the story in WC3 RoC.

Chocobo Tales (DS) : Really fun game for the DS. I'm on the last battle. Air Hockey DS style!

PokemonFireRed : I'm looking for Mewtwo >_> for some reason I can't enter the cave behind Cerulean

Whew, I'm playing quite a lot of games. I also started another FFVI file but I'm only at where Locke just saved Terra. I don't know if I'm gonna beat the game for the millionth time. I'm also playing FFV Advanced to see if I can find all of the beastiary this time. Also beat the secret dungeon. Last time I got to the part where the guy told me to catch a Behemoth. Then I gave up.

just beat FF7. now im going to finally beat FF12 (curse you hashmal!!!!l). i just bought Star Ocean 2 and Grandia online, so as soon as they get here, i'll start playing one of them. now i just need to decide which...

Got to agree with you there. Even if it is incredibly short. I 'completed' (albeit, only the main storyline) it in 9 hours, over the space of 2 days. Its stupidly addictive, but ridiculously easy at the same time. Some of the microgames I don't even want to attempt to take on though. Is it actually possible to get a gold on that long jump microgame? I've got 398.34m, and I need 400m.

I'm also playing FFXII, albeit very slowly. Just got to Draklor Laboratory, though I haven't been playing it much recently.

I've also just started Lunar Knights for the DS, though haven't got started on FFIII yet, despite it being the game I wanted most.

I'm actually surprised how few there are actually. I plan on starting FFVI as soon as I'm done with XII, and I'm starting Pokemon: Diamond as soon as it is released in the UK.

GrimGrimoire: I'm done with the main game, but the trials are really killing me.

.hack//G.U. Reminisce: Just got Alkaid and I'm leveling up.

Disgaea: HoD: Leveling my transmigrated characters on 7-1.

Valkyrie Profile 2: Leveling in Sahma.

Star Ocean 3: Trying to figure out how to defeat Freya.

Yes, it is. Like I said, I've been playing on and off, and at a very slow pace.

Started up on FF IX again after a two year hiatus. Gon try for a 'do all the shit' game this time now that I finally found a good walkthrough (thank you Shotgunnova).

I was playing a good deal of Pokemon Pearl, but after my perfectly EV-trained level 72 Bastiodon soloed the elite four and champion, it lost it's touch. I made a Porygon-Z (trained in SPattack and speed), who has 200 sp attack at level 51. After one Nasty Plot, Tri-Attack is OHKO on anything. Kinda got boring being too good.

I picked up Super Mario 64 DS and I've been playing that a lot too. Idk if I like the new system or not. The controls seem kinda stiff and the changing characters thing gets annoying sometimes. And Luigi is too good. I stopped playing once I got to Dire, Dire Docks, though, because for some reason, I have a deep-seeded fear of that board. I'll play again this coming week during vacation.

Recently, I've been playing Diablo II. Ladder just reset, so my brother and I have gotten back into it. Already, we have found an SOJ, BK's ring, shako, perfect pally spirit (well, it's a 35/90/3 made in a 45 res all sacred targe...close to perfect), and more uniques than our three mules have room for. It's unbelievable. And mad fun. New account is Porygon, if you want to add me. I play USeast, softcore, ladder.

You have to finish up all the stuff in the Sevii Islands before you can go get Mewtwo.

Speaking of Pokemon FireRed, I leveled up my dog team (Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Arcanine, Houndoom, and Suicune) to level 61 and beat the improved Elite Four handily. I really didn't expect my Vaporeon to clean up like it did.

I also started another file on FFVI SNES where I am going to beat the game with only Celes, Edgar, and Setzer. So far, I'm at the Magitek Factory but I can't remember if there's anything I have to do after I got Shiva and Ifrit.

I just discovered that I'd already started and abandoned a file on Lufia III only three hours into the game, so I've picked that up again. <3 For some reason, no matter how many times I've beaten it, I never get tired of that game~.

Come with me so I can show you how to live

I just posted not too long ago, but this topic needs to be brought back up.

Final Fantasy X: Finally beat it! Yay! Now I'm blitzing and I started a new file where I'm not going to miss anything this time. Headin' to the Kilika Temple.

Final Fantasy IX: Started a file on this one, too. I think I've been playing more Tetra Master than anything. 27 wins, 20 losses, 13 draws, and 7 perfects (or something to that effect). I'm going to Burmecia now.

Final Fantasy VI Advance: I finally gave in and bought it yestersay. I have to admit I like the new translation better than Ted Woosley's because it's so much easier to understand. I also love what they did with the opera part; the singing sounds like people now! Right now, I'm going to the Sealed Gate.

Pokemon Crystal: I'm trying to get the last Kanto badge but Blue's not easy. My team is: Kingdra, Typhlosion, Scizor, Noctowl, Mew, and Marowak.

Otherwise, I second what Laszlo's saying. And the other parts of the classic series too.

I dont like megaman.

Mostly playing Super Sayain Tien's new FF6 hack, also still working on FFXII, and play WWE Smackdown vs Raw 07 and DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 on the side.

As soon as I finish FFXII, I'm going to work on either Rogue Galaxy, Twilight Princess, FF5, or Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2.

Final Fantasy II Dawn of Souls- Still trying to get through the Soul of Rebirth side story...

Pokemon Diamond- Currently crafting a competitive Wi-Fi team, but IV breeding is a bitch...

Skies of Arcadia- Second replay, still enjoying it.

Chrono Trigger- Just getting all the endings.

Final Fantasy X- After not touching this game for a few years cause I couldn't beat Yunalesca, I finally started a new file and I found Yunalesca to be a breeze. Just doing all the sidequests and whatnot before I get to the point of no return.



Hmmm...that's about it right now.

--------------------

FFIVDS looks awesome, right? Especially the character scans. I mean, look at that CGI scan of Yang. You see it and you just think...badass. And then you look at his polka-dot pants, likely stolen from a Dr. Seuss book. And then you just...shiver.

Final Fantasy X (Stat-Maxing on my main file, started a No-Sphere Grid Game)

NCAA Football 07 (just playing the occasional match and getting better, quite a bit of experimenting with the option)

SSBM (Practicing and such, getting ready for SSBB)

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy V Advance again. I had no idea there were so many ways you could exploit bosses in this game...

I also finally beat the final boss on 4D mode in SO3. It was a good twenty minutes of luring him into a corner with two manual characters, and abusing Peppita and Albel's counterattacks. Oh, and Air Slash spam. Now to conquer the post-game...

Oh, and I finally get to play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I can see why it's everyone's favorite Castlevania now.

Well, of course you don't like Mega Man if all you've played is Battle Network 5. And beg my pardon for calling those games "crap", SMad. I didn't mean to use the word in a derogatory sense (in fact, I'm quite a fan of those three he mentioned).

Right now the UVA GC is back in session, so I'm playing a ton of multiplayer GH2, GGXX^C, SSBM, and FNR3. How's that for some acronyms?

Heh. Here you go:
UVA GC = University of Virginia Gamers' Club
GH2 = Guitar Hero 2
GGXX^C = Guilty Gear XX Accent Core
SSBM = Super Smash Bros. Melee
FNR3 = Fight Night Round 3

I can hold my own just fine at Guitar Hero, but I'm laughably bad at the other three games compared to the crowd I typically play with. The only system I brought to school with me here was my DS, so I'm only playing the occasional round of Advance Wars or EBA to pass the time; very little single-player going on.

FFXII I've been playing this for a long time its a great game but for some reason i can't seem to make myself play it anymore.

Well, I've been playing threw Final Fantasy IV again (don't ask why, I play a Final Fantasy threw again very seldomly). I'm almost finished with it, just getting the other characters their good equipment, then I'll go defeat Zeromus. I'm also taking my time with FFIII DS because it is a good game, and I hate to rush a good thing because it takes away the joy from it.

I don't know exactly what game(s) i'll be playing. I may try FFIV DS when it comes out, but that may be a while (even my funds are against me ). I know here's one game i'll be doing, it's that CoN Ragnorak Fever ( if I didn't spell right, sorry). That game looks to be promising, so i'll try it out. That's about it for now.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Went through Contra (NES), Contra 3 (SNES), Metroid (NES), and part of Super Metroid (SNES) in the last 2 weeks. I beat Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES) again with 102% this afternoon, and I just started another game of Lufia 2 (SNES).

I've pretty much concluded that I can only play games I've already beaten several times.

GGXX^C = Guilty Gear XX Accent Core

Stop at once! You're committing a great and inhuman crime against 2D fighters by even having that game!

More seriously though, the Guilty Gear series is, in my opinion, REALLY BAD.
Okay, the design is nice, but the graphics themselves hurt my eyes, the effects are too flashy and some attacks make me close my eyes due to the flashiness and I can't see what I'm doing for a couple of seconds.
The sprites-in-the-backgrounds idea is horrid. The characters look like cardboard cut-outs. This game just looks bad.
And I haven't even yet mentioned the gameplay.
Preprogrammed combos are the sin against god. The speed shifting (although this might be only the fault of the machines I played on) makes me mad instantly.
The characters are unbalanced. When two players equal in terms of experience clash it's only a question of which characters they will pick (Chipp and Sol make mince-meat of most other characters).

The only thing I like about the series is the music, but that's not enough to make me like a 2D fighter.

As to the original topic question:
Namco x Capcom (37 hours of gameplay XD)
King of Fighters series

Edit

Add Street Fighter 3: third strike to that list.
