Bah! I made a mistake - apparently, Espers to learn spells are not allowed. Equipment that teaches spells is only allowed after teh spell was learned.

Anyway, GameFAQs has a guide to the Natural Magic Game if you want to use that.

The other rules I mentioned apply to a Single Character Natural Magic Game (also has a guide at GameFAQs, just make sure to go into the Playstation FFVI page, as it's not on the SNES one)

Hmm... if you've done the natural magic game...

Try the single character natural magic game.

And just so you know, I actually haven't even finished it myself. Shit kept coming up - changed computers, accidentally overwrote my savestate, lost my memory card. =/

After sitting in the shower for a while (I can't stand in a hot shower because I start getting short of breath, and I hate cold showers...)...

1. Wash
2. Rinse
3. Dry around my eyes and get my hair out of my face
4. That's it for the hair-washing.

You start the single character game as soon as you get the character you're using.

Just kill the other characters and don't use a Tent. In the case of multi-team events like Phoenix Cave, just don't fight with the other teams (Moogle Charm's great for that, and if you want to fight every boss in Kefka's Tower with one character, you'll need to make multiple trips...).

Posted on 01-17-06 01:40 AM, in What's with the small text boxes here..? (Layout Observations...) Link
Numerous layouts that I've seen here have text boxes that take up less than 50% of the post area (horizontally), and worse, most of them are scrollbar layouts, meaning that the small text area is all that we get.

Seriously, people, make them wider or make it a stretchable layout or do SOMETHING to prevent having a scrollbar in a two-paragraph post. I'd rather not name names, but Katana, Drizzt, and Elara's layouts are good examples of this. Kaijin's and Rogue's would be if they scrolled.

The other observation is that some of you don't have a background on your text area, and you really need one. Specifically, all of you that have no background on your text box, notably Elara, Drizzt, and to a lesser extent Vulkar. If you want transparency, there's a way to do it without CSS, but only one seems to work at a time (with CSS, you can use them all I think), outlined below.

table width=95% height=* bgcolor=000040 border=2 style="opacity: 0.75" for Firefox (1 is opaque, 0 is completely transparent, I think)

table width=95% height=* bgcolor=000040 border=2 style="filter:alpha(opacity: 75)" for IE

And of course remember the < and >. You can replace width, height, bgcolor, and border with whatever, that code's just copied from two versions of my layout.

I can block layouts, yes. But honestly, this is a major problem here; the layout issues have gotten so bad that someone has referred to Xeogaming as "where all the horrible layouts gather." I've seen the main problem (well, main problem in my eyes), and I'm offering some constructive criticism.

I would, but I don't have the time to PM half the board. And actually, since you use a slightly smaller font size, the smallish text arean's not that big a deal.

And actually, 75 opacity should be fine on your layout. Mine's got 75 (Firefox-only, AFAIK) and I can read it fine.

Saijin: I know I can block layouts. Yours was the first.

Edit: ... no apostorphe there.

Edit2: Adding a comment

I gave you code that works in Firefox, Elara. Check my first post. I know it works in Firefox, because I'm using it now. =/

Hm.

So this is what I should expect when I provide some constructive criticism, then? People saying some variation of "too fucking bad" or "it's too hard to fix it"? So is that laziness, arrogance, ignorance, or just stubbornness?

It's not that hard to fix these problems...

The picture Elara's using is quite simply a poor choice for a layout because it's too small - if she could find a larger version (maybe not so easy) and resize the text box accordingly (which shouldn't be very difficult), there wouldn't be as much of a problem, but as it stands there's a text box that is quite literally smaller than her signature image. There's also the text being hard to read, a problem I've mentioned more times than I care to try to remember.

Shaddow's layout has a similar (but nowhere near as bad) problem; his picture's just not wide enough, about one third of the width of the post space is sitting there empty.

Kaijin's layout (oh, you thought I was just commenting on scrollbar layouts?) similarly doesn't fill the post area, and has an image that tiles horribly. Although, his posts are generally rather short from what I've seen, so the tiling issue is rarely seen. Not that big a deal, but it's just something I figured I'd point out.

Drizzt's layout's just got one problem, a lack of room for text. The text box could be widened a bit without any real issues, and maybe a smaller font.

Makura... white text on pale background just doesn't work.

And shit, as for the rest of the board... just read the above four and see where your layout fits. If you have one, it probably falls under one of 'em.

But to make this post not entirely complaining, lemme point out a few good examples of layouts.

Xeogred - A simple stretchable layout with an easy-to-read text box, a background that doesn't leave a big ugly space next to the post, and to top it all off it even loads fast.

Sparda - Not quite as simple as Xeogred's, but still easy to read and not very cluttered.

Shuyin - See Sparda.

Vulkar - I know, I made a comment about your layout having a slight issue. It could still use a text box BG, but there's no major readability problems and it seems to be the best scrollbar layout on the board.

Uh... no. Layout stuff goes in General Art. This is related to layouts, most specifically the fact that there's quite a few that are, shall we say, "lacking in quality." But since there's a lot of people here who quite simply cannot take any constructive criticism at all without getting defensive and/or just plain stupid about it, I'm starting to wonder why I posted it.
