Flyff Notes

Here are the notes for the game (since today is wedensday).


 

In news I was able to play Flyff and got to level 20! This means that I can start flying which should be the main point in the game. I'll start editing tomorrow and I'll start the video review tomorrow (if they are no distractions). In other news luberducky is working on his Rapplez review which he is taking extremely long at doing. I have a new printer which I can scan stuff in. Hopefully it will work so I can start doing stuff. Oh by the way from now on News will be at the bottom except for Written Reviews, Notes, and Video Reviews. Well I hope you all have a good time cause I'm going to bed!


 


 


 

Graphics- Graphics are nice if I depended on vairity. I loved the moments when you attacked but also monsters were very different. Though the islands were pretty small but that's something you could look over. I loved the different monsters but also everything else about the island. The terrain was the same in some places and if you placed the camera right you were able to see the inside of a person. (There will be a picture). I liked most of it espcially the difference in your character as for the NPC's they are exactly the same. I'm guessing that they did this on purpose. The reason is because they have I guess a classification system so people can easily tell when a

 
 

Sound- The sound is ok I think it's pretty good even though I was stuck in the mainland a lot. The music changed depending on where you were. I heard some samples of the music and I desired it. The music wasn't maple story type of music but even so it was worked on very well.

 
 

Gameplay (the longest subject)- The game play is seriously fun. I loved it best one I have seen in all 4 games I have reviewed. The gameplay worked flawlessly and well nothing felt slow or boring. Every thing seemed to work flawlessly. The games currency is penya which is very easy to find. You fight by attack and you can use skill attack which is the equvilant to a special attack. This attack is pretty good and very useful. You start off in the game at Flaris and are left there with an unresponsive tutorial guide. This was a horrible thing but they made sure that we felt welcome anyway when monsters that you wanted to attack where very close. What I really liked about the game was the ability to walk through people and monsters. So when you are seeing fields of monsters you can walk through them without getting hurt which hasn't been seen in many rpg's and the feature is highly used. Monsters also won't attack you unless these 2 things happen your attacking them or you're their name is red. This is one of the greatest features of the game and again I highly recommend it.

 
 

Lasting Appeal- The game is fun and one of the games that I'm excited to play when I get home. Every thing goes down flawlessly I can't say much in this subject because of how awesome it was.

 
 

Fun- The game has almost no flaws whatsoever ( I guess this is where all the developers were) I loved it and will continue to love as the first game to stay on my computer.

 
 

Downloadability- The game can be found and I have seen numerous annoucements. The game also is the sister game of Raplez so it should be easy to find. I think that you also can look at trailers and it is a pretty popular game so and again a bit more playfull so it can be open to almost anyone you see.

Website Combination

So again I always love to surf the internet and…. Wait that's not how this story starts. Ok so I downloaded FLYFF and after the installation it told me to downloaded xfire. I was confused cause I never heard of that and well they didn't explain it to me. Well I downloaded xfire anyway and boy was I in for a surprise. I figured it had everything we needed for in game chat and also it had almost all the essentials on its website. So now let me introduce the new combination website. The website is called http://www.xfire.com/clans/tr2team/ this website will be where all info for anything besides reviews and news is. The new logo premiering sometime soon will be on that website. All applications will have to be there and I'll be looking at the stuff there almost every day. This website will also be for videogame gatherings and almost everything that goes along with games. Another website that's easier to get in will be up soon.

Flyff Review


Flyff Review


Well after seeing the first game (Upshift Strike Racer) I thought all games would be exactly like that. This game really needed to raise the bar if Gpotato wanted to look good. So let's look at the second game from Gpotato: Flyff (Fly for Fun)


Graphics


Let's just get this out of the way. I do not base computer games on visual appeal but difference in characters and objects in the game. Overall the graphics were nice. I saw many many different monsters which was a nice change. Everything looked different and well every item was different. You would see a new face in almost playable character you saw. Like most RPGs there is almost an unlimited amount of customization so it's no surprise to tell you guys the truth. Anyway the one out of the two major flaws I saw was that they used the same model for a group of characters. For example you had someone who helped with weapons would have the same models as someone else who handled weapons. This was an annoying yet helpful idea. "Now how is that helpful?" some of you might be asking. Let me tell you why, when you want to find a specific person that gives you some food you can look for that type of character model and usually they will offer you the same thing. Anyway graphics were awesome and so I award the game for its graphics.



One example of a model


Sound


Sound for a game has to be nice to be noticeable and this was. The music overall fit the game close to flawlessly. The game does have some good sound effects though some of the voices for the monsters are horrible like the mushroom monsters sound like cats! So maybe there is an extra flaw but again it's something to look over because it's only one monster so a flaw that can be easily looked over. Even so the music did have its blend ins but that was on rare occasions so again it's something to look over. Even though the music wasn't Maplestory worthy it still had its moments.


Gameplay


Gameplay is the longest and hardest subject to talk about but has such a big effect it can't be skipped. First the Gameplay is one of the best I have ever seen. I'm not a big RPG fan so it's hard to push me into a good RPG especially when things take way too long to complete and can be very boring. This game changed everything I thought about stereotypes and flipped it over. I mean that the gameplay had so much to offer that I was surprised it was kept this low.


Let's start at the very beginning of the game when you are a noob. You create your character and start off at Flaris Island. One flaw here was actually an irresponsive tutorial at the bottom of your screen but again that is something that can be looked over because it's real easy to start out even as a new character. You get an endless amount of monsters of the same type so it's easy to level and you also feel welcome. The combat system is easy since you don't have to hold any buttons. The attacking is really fast so that your attention never decreases.


Later in the game you realize why the game is great: there is no stress! For an example you can go through enemies so you don't get hurt when you touch them which is a huge relief when you see a whole patch of enemies. One of the greatest things that I really liked was that monsters won't attack you unless the following 2 things happen: 1. you attack them first 2. Their name is in red. When this happens you want to stay as far away as possible or else they may spot you and try to attack you. These features usually don't happen in a game so it was nice for a change.


There are shops around the area that you can go to. The shops use a currency called penya which is the games currency. You use it to buy some stuff from other people. The price for the stuff is high and some of the stuff there isn't even worth it. Though again if you have no life whatsoever you'll go and use your own money to get potatoes which is the currency of every Gpotato game.


So the one major flaw in this game that makes me get a bit pissed off is the title! Why you ask because you can't fly till your level 20! That's one stupid flaw especially seeing how the title says FLY for fun. Well again I won't be able to tell you how the flying part goes unless we get more members that can help me level up. I'll try to make it to level 20 by the video review for your pleasure.




Leveling up




Lasting Appeal


So what do I think about how long the game can pull you in for? The game will suck you in and almost make it seem World of Warcraft worthy. This game was the only one that I loved playing and the only game that I really wanted to keep on playing. I really can't say much except that playing this game is one of the most addicting games that I know.






Fun


Overall the game is one big pile of fun. Everything flowed together with only two major flaws. I guess all game designers were here and not working on Upshift Strike Racer. I loved how they placed everything and how addicting the game was. This game also is something you can start and stop which makes it really fun and convenient. Overall I recommend this game and hope that all of you will realize how great a game this is.


Downloadability


The game can be found as I have seen some but not a lot of advertisements. Though it is a sister game of Raplez so you can find it real close to each other. Hopefully this game can get a review but either way it's a highly populated game so again I recommend this game also here is the link Flyff online
