Welcome. I’m a contributor over at GameFAQs.com and a sometime denizen of its message boards.
- Final Fantasy X — My Shortlist
A personal cribsheet for use while playing FFX. Tips and reminders, both obscure and obvious, I’ve cobbled together to forestall the need for searching through the plethora of published guides. Maybe it’ll prove useful for someone else, too.
Current. In active development, so Reload or Refresh often. Never intended for submission to GameFAQs.
- Final Fantasy X — Blitzball Techniques: A Primer
A practical guide on gaining blitzball techniques: Using Techcopy; the importance of Key Techs; making specialty techs appear; the mysteries behind the Tech Find prize. A great swath of FFX players eschew blitz entirely and, I suspect, the reason lies in the difficulty in learning the techniques so vital to the game. Folks having problems too often receive “use Techcopy” and “keep trying” without elaboration in response to their help requests, so I’ve compiled all the answers in this one guide, unearthed the clues buried in other FAQs, winnowed the chaff, refined the tips, and tested, tested, tested.
Current. Version 1.4, submitted to GameFAQs on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, and again declined for “oversaturation”. An injustice, but probably due to his just having reviewed a poorly writen focused guide as well as an updated walkthrough. This same file should appear on the FFX FAQs page. It was rewritten to address CJayC’s comments; retested against a new playthrough, reverifying every bit of feedback; fixed inaccuracies, clarified vagaries; increased Qs from 26 to 27.
Prior Revision. Version 1.3, submitted to GameFAQs on Thursday, December 14, 2006, but subsequently rejected as not beginner-ish enough. Integrated further feedback; increased Qs from 24 to 26.
Prior Revision. Version 1.2 (December 6, 2006), never submitted to GameFAQs. Integrated feedback received so far; increased Qs from 21 to 24; added to Acknowledgments.
Prior Revision. Version 1.1 (December 4, 2006), never submitted to GameFAQs. Added sections; beefed up others; increased Qs from 17 to 21.
Original. Version 1.0, submitted to GameFAQs (as Final Fantasy X Blitzball Tech Tips) on Sunday, November 19, 2006. Rejected after content review for several reasons: Duplication; Lack of Content; Oversaturation.
- Kingdom Hearts — SYNTHESIS: Minimum Items Required
A cribsheet listing the total number of items needed to synthesize one of everything (and gain Sora’s Ultima Weapon). Handy for those who like to do all of their synthesizing in one fell swoop, and who loathe coming up one item short.
Submitted as a separate FAQ, but declined for “lack of content”. Offered to the synthesis FAQ’s author, but the e-mail bounced and hasn’t been updated.
- Kingdom Hearts II — Synthesis Additions
Started out as a dupe of my KH1 list, but I tagged on a lot of other synthesis trivia.
Didn’t bother submitting to GameFAQs. The bulk of the info was picked up by Ultimaterializer X for the Bestiary/Synthesis Guide v3.1. The cribsheet was also picked up by Megafierce for the Synthesis Guide v0.85.
- Okage: Shadow King — FAQ & Walkthrough
Okage was in dire need of a complete, spoiler-free walkthrough for the game’s North American version. I started out intending to cover only the World Library, but far too many explanations crept in and things quickly snowballed.
Current. Version 1.3.2, submitted to GameFAQs on Monday, January 15, 2007, and accepted the same day. This is the same file as listed on the Okage FAQs page. No further updates are planned at this time, so if you spot anything missing or wrong be sure to bring it to my attention, as I won’t be reviewing the guide myself for a long, long while.
Prior Revision. Version 1.3.1, submitted to GameFAQs on Friday, October 20, 2006, and accepted the same day.
Prior Revision. Version 1.3, submitted to GameFAQs on Tuesday, September 19, 2006, and accepted the same day.
Prior Revision. Version 1.2, submitted to GameFAQs on Monday, August 28, 2006, and accepted the same day.
Prior Revision. Version 1.1, submitted to GameFAQs on Monday, August 14, 2006, and accepted the same day.
Original Release. Version 1.0, submitted to GameFAQs on Saturday, July 29, 2006, and accepted on Monday, July 31, 2006.
Awards. The walkthrough was honored with GameFAQs’ FAQ of the Month award for July 2006.
- Okage: Shadow King — Compatibility Gift Scene Scripts
My second published FAQ, also for Okage. Documents each of six possible scenes during which Ari (the game’s lead character) receives the compatibility gift he’s earned.
Current. Version 1.0, submitted to GameFAQs on Wednesday, September 20, 2006. The guide was accepted on Monday, September 25, 2006, but wasn’t listed under What’s New until Friday, September 29, 2006. This is the same file as listed on the Okage FAQs page. The guide is complete and no updates are anticipated.
Also available individually. If you prefer to avoid spoiling the other scenes, you can review each script separately. The following link to formatted web pages rather than plain text documents.
