Thank you!
Yeah I love the battles! I was also sad when I found out there wouldn't be a turn based option which I had thought that they had said they were originally going to have. I think it was probably that when they said classic mode I assumed that meant the classic game as in turn based, but it turned out that classic mode was pretty lame. Basically in that mode even the character you are currently controlling will automatically fight and that way you can just focus on deciding what spells/items/abilities etc. you are going to have them all use as they are able. That was boring though and it is super easy to keep fighting and just glance at the ability gauges periodically to tell when you can do moves and the pull up that menu that slows it way down so you can safely make your choices. Also, FYI, Tifa is super fun to play as in battle so don't forget to swap control between characters and test out each ones play style to decide which you prefer to control.
Have you started playing yet? What do you think?
Another awesome old game (PS2) that was really cheap on the Playstation Store not long ago is Rogue Galaxy which has been enhanced, I am so excited to play that one again too!
And if anyone wants to relive the original FF7 it has a digitally enhanced digital version on the Playstation Store for only $7.99 on sale right now, I also got that one!

Hello Night Wolfe!
I am on it to replace some textures for S1 currently and I turned a (single) red button blue already. At this very moment the journal is on my to do list and I would like to ask you for permission to snatch some character screenshots from your site. Simply because I am too lazy to collect all possible sets for all heros. Let me know what you think.
Btw, your website has already been achieved by Wayback Machine.
LOL, way to make me feel extra old!
Sure you can use some character images... what exactly are you doing with them out of curiosity? Does this have something to do with the forum skin or what?

REally...that good? I never really got into the series,lack of console...but my friends who love it are absolutely ravenous about it
Yeah it is really great. The story is great, the controls are easy to use, the menus are clean and easy to navigate, the graphics blew my mind... The biggest thing for me though is the combat systems is AMAZINGLY simple considering all of the things you can do - basic attack, power attack, special attack, spells, items, special abilities, limit breaks, summons and programmable hot keys. I have played games with less stuff and yet I often struggled with combat because it was too hard remembering what all the different buttons and combination of buttons even did. For example with this game on Playstation the square and triangle buttons are the basic and power attacks, holding the square button for a moment was the power attack and everything else was via a menu that got triggered when you hit X (which also super slows down combat so you have time to make your selection). Oh you could also block with R1 and evade with circle. And if you wanted to (which I did not) you could assign specific actions found in the X menu to L1 + another button. So easy!
I am now about 90 hours in to playing and I've beaten the game on normal. When you beat it the chapter selection opens up and you can skip to any chapter you want and play it in Classic, Easy, Normal or Hard mode. This way you can go back and do anything you missed, get certain buff items that are only available in hard mode and trigger certain things that would take multiple play throughs (but because of this you can do without playing 100% of the game again if you want). For my obsessive, 100% completionist nature this way of doing it is so amazing. I sometimes struggle to play a game over beginning to end to get all the extras or to play in the harder mode to get that 100%, somehow being able to skip around levels and go back to specific good grinding places and whatnot makes it so much better.
The only sad thing is this.... because FF7 was such a HUGE game they've said that they are spreading it out over 4 games expected to be released every or every other year. So that means it will be 4-8 years before I get to relive the full story. Also certain things were missing that I expect will be in the later games - like I didn't get to ride or breed any Chocobos!!!
Also I would super recommend getting a Playstation, I can't live without mine and I have had all 4 generations now. There are so, so many amazing games you are missing out on!

Since you are here, how do you feel about Dark Matters becoming the host for your old website?
Yes I am totally fine with them taking over the hosting. While I know some of them might not be able to help themselves when it comes to making coding improvements (which it sure as heck could really use) I fully trust the team here to keep the integrity of my site alive

I recently FINALLY got to playing Horizon Zero Dawn. I'm enjoying it.
Oh that is another game I really loved!!! Good taste!
Right now I am going crazy over the remake of Final Fantasy 7!! Sooooo good!!!

Spock my thoughts are with you! Any big medical issue can be super scary and I have spent way, way too much time in hospitals holding the hands of loved ones going through various traumas. Just remember to be patient but persistent as it can take what seems like a very long time to get back to 'normal'. But I truly wish you make it there soon!

A week ago I posted that making everyone wearing a mask (no need for a medical one,selfmade, biker/snowboard mask, shawl, ...) in public could significantly reduce the number of infections.
Ha! You'd love the enterprising gentleman my husband overheard talking to his friend at Walmart the other day. This gentleman was explaining to his friend how he'd made his very fancy mask out of his wife's bra cup

@NightWolfe: I'm so glad your husband has taken it to be humorous after all of these years! I remember all the time I was like: HERE ya go: (and unloaded a ton of new pics, stats, and the like) and you joked that your hubby would be so mad if you took all the time to get them into the site right away. Which was never a worry for rushing. I always just wanted to get you what I could, when I could, and figured you would get to it when you were able... Then the next day..... I was like.. crap.. she got almost all of that into her site already! Lol. A very patient husband you have. - but those memories back then (helping you with Sacred 2 info. Playing sacred 2 with the wonderful community of Clan-DA and Dark Matters!) are very cherished memories of mine.
Yeah I got myself into a lot of trouble back then LOL.
On 3/22/2020 at 5:02 PM, DarkWolfNine said:(p.s. how is Outer Worlds? Any good? I was debating about that one a little while back!)
(See what being a programmer by profession does? I get too winded with typing.) Lol.
It is SO good, I totally recommend it. Not sure if you ever played Fallout New Vegas but it was the same developers and so the UI is very similar to that. Also it is like a cross between Fallout and Firefly (best show ever)!
Well you get too long winded and I end up spotting everyone's errors (including my own which I then have to obsessively edit later) - Software Quality Analyst here.

Thir13en Ghosts
Ohmigosh I loved this one. The extra great thing with this one is the DVD has a special section with detailed portfolios of each of the ghosts which is really cool.
On 3/23/2020 at 5:51 PM, Flix said:What movies are actually the scariest to you? For me, really scary movies are those that change your thoughts and behavior even after the movie's over. They kind of live on in your head, disturbing and unsettling you in some way. They make you want to close the curtains in case something's peering in. They create an irresistible urge to look over shoulder in a dark hallway no matter irrational it seems. If you're really sensitive like me, they'll haunt your dreams.
I am the biggest wimp ever when it comes to scary movies, but for me it is rarely the story - though I really do enjoy horror stories, they are fun. What is actually scary for me is the characters in the movies. I could even see a film that wasn't even that scary but a character might haunt me for ages and scary kids are the WORST!
Funny story, one of the characters that really freaked me out was the little boy from The Grudge. And a couple of months after I watched that movie I still kept expecting to open the shower curtain or turn over in bed or open a door and have that little boy scream/meow at me. Also it did not help that my bed at the time was just a mattress and box spring on the floor so about the same height as the bed in the movie where she woke up to see him standing by the side of the bed. So anyway at the time my daughter was 3 yrs old and woke up in the middle of the night.... do you see where I am going with this? So she comes in my room and instead of just crawling in bed with me or shaking me awake she just stands at the side of my bed staring at me. Well I must have sensed her there in my sleep because I woke up and just saw a dark shadow of a kid standing by my bed... my scream was seconds from coming out when I realized it was her. Thank god. At her age I would have terrified her if I screamed in her face just after she woke up from having a bad dream!

I second this, sharks are terrifying LOL.
For me it was Wrong Turn - it is a sort cheesy slasher, but there was just something about one of the hillbilly freaks that super terrified me. I couldn't close my eyes for months without picturing him sneaking up on me.

To be honest I never even played Sacred 2 long enough to even visit my own graves, those screenshots were donated to me. Which in the long run really saddens me, I wish I had stuck around long enough for them to fix the game. Not the only time I've done that though.... There are a few games I've played that I was so terribly excited about it coming out for so long and then when they didn't meet expectations on launch I was so disappointed I couldn't bring myself to ever play them again. Sacred 2, Diablo 3 & Destiny 2 all gave me that reaction even though I heard later that after a few patches they got way better. Though I don't 100% believe the sources since those were usually die hard fans that couldn't bring themselves to hate it or admit how many problems those games really had.
So to answer you Gogo, I only played a few hours worth of it on my Playstation before I gave up on it. It was extra disappointing too because both my husband and I loved Sacred Underworld but we never got to play together because we never had more than one working computer at a time, so we were extra psyched for the PS co-op ability on Sacred 2.
Modding sounds really neat, I've heard a lot about different games that have been done but modding really became a thing after I stopped playing on the computer.
And to all the thank yous...... no, really THANK YOU! It was truly a labor of love and after a while a bit of an obsession to ensure it was as complete as possible, so to hear that so many people used my site and still do after the insane number of hours I put into it is really such a relief to me. It would have been so horrible if it had been a waste of my time and no one used it. Especially after the number of fights it caused because I would get so wrapped up in it that I would lose track of time and not do a single thing around the house that I was supposed to for days on end
It has been enough years though that now my husband just makes fun of me over it.

Dang good to see ya.! Yes, there's still a great number of members all around... people come in to check, read posts and have some christmas Nog... I was just posting on your interview thread we did with you years and years (wow, ten years ago o_O) and that reading youre writing would bring you back to life. I'm delighted that you've posted...and gottta ask... What are you playing? Are you documenting any games anywhere?
gogo
I've gotten to where I exclusively play Playstation games now, the most recent one being Outer Worlds which was tons of fun and I am very impatiently awaiting the release of FF7 Remake next month. No I don't document games anymore, I really only did Sacred because no one else was when I started Wolfe's Lair and since I wasn't working I had plenty of free time. Now you can get a professionally published guidebook for all the biggest games anyway. Plus I document soooo much at work already LOL. I am so amazed that anyone is still playing Sacred AND visiting my site no less. It is really astonishing!

Wolfes Lair is some kind of bible for Sacred fans. Meeting someone who had to do with the site, last update is 12 years ago or so, is like... meeting a Dinosaur. Sometimes, the internet is a tiny place. I hope you stay with us for a while DarkWolfNine, we shall meet again.
Cheers!
Wow, Dinosaur huh? If people who worked with me are Dinosaurs what does that make me? ROFLOL
Also Hi DARKWOLFNINE!!! And hi to everyone else!
This is a very strange time... First a few weeks ago AREA666 started emailing me regularly when for years now we'd just message once every other year on Facebook (we both hate Facebook). Then I get an email that Gogo posted in the interview thread so I popped in to see what was up and I saw this post! I can't believe so many people are around still!

Nightwolfe
Long time no hear...glad to see you're doing fine
Yeah I has been quite some time Knuckles! Thanks hun and I hope you are doing good as well
Hey hey NightWolfe.
Big hugz to ya, and glad to hear that you are still around.
Gratz on landing a job, and I hope it works out.
Gone down the console route now, eh ? There sure has been some good games to be played on those bad boys, and they have moved on a hell of a lot over the years.
How's that Fallout New Vegas going ? I lurved FO3, very cool game.............well, the ending didn't quite cut it, but I got a lot o' fun hours outta the game.
All the best,
Steve.
Thanks for the congrats! Yeah New Vegas is almost better than FO3, which I also loved! It added a bunch of new perks and craft stuff which is really cool, plus the world is just a big smaller so not quite as daunting
What I really can't wait for is the latest Elder Scrolls, coming out soon! 
Awesome...like the Bat phone!
Hehe yep, exactly!
I'm sorry hearing you're still plagued by these electrical problems. Did they happen while you had Sacred original, or is this something that only started happening often around the time you got Sacred 2?
Oh it has destroyed 6 computers since I moved it, but they were all older used one so we didn't realize what the problem was until around Sacred 2 when I husband spent a fortune building a super computer and it died 6 months later
Nice work with the job! And...analyist? zomgod, nightwolfe, you've done well!. Remember that first day you started using web code at Dagirl's forum? From that to web analyist? You are great model of passion powering career... bravo
Yep, moving up in the world since the days of teaching myself web design bit by bit as I decided I wanted to add something new to the site.
Do you still have a copy of Sacred 2...is your new comp able to run it at all? Any chance of you being able to be teased to come back to Sacred world?
I do, but honestly Sacred 2 was such a huge disappointment to me that I've totally boycotted it
I'm glad to hear that she is still around. I hope things improve for her rapidly.
Thanks! Me too
-
And if anyone ever wants to hear what I am up to, just post in this thread because I have it set to send me an email alert whenever anyone does
Yep as Podgie said I have had major computer issues although my most recent computer is a MUCH better one and I could probably play some games on it I tend to prefer the consoles. Right now I am playing Lost Odyssey and Fallout New Vegas on my Xbox 360. My Playstation 3 broke recently
Plus I am finally no longer a stay at home mom... In fact my job amuses me, since you all might remember how much I hated testing my own website. I always depended on the readers to let me know if anything wasn't working properly on it (and yes I do know that a lot has been messed up on it since the transfer I just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. But my job now is a quality analyst for web pages.
So while I am waaay busier than I once was I do find the time to come on the net on a regular basis to mess around and check my forum even though months go by without posts now.

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year and your new skin totally did it justice!! I loooooove it!! Great job once again!
-
Wow thanks for all the support you guys!
-
Oh you are playing it too Genenut? What are you stuck on?
Edit: Oops don't want to get too far off topic.... if you are stuck and want some help just PM me or message me anywhere you know how to reach me hehe
-
I sure am! I am getting close to the end though
Right now I have complete all of the main and side quests of the original game and am working on an expansion pack called Shivering Isles that attaches to the Oblivion game. -
That has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen! YAY!!
-
Amazing Schot! Thanks! Also you did confirm the bug that appeared to be happening with the items. Very sad.... guess I won't be getting my screenshots after all.
-
Okay this might help you guys... try these locations:
* Mascarell in front of the chapel and it the corner by the wall around the chapel.
* Next to the hole in the ground of the mansion above Porto Draco where you go kill the ghosts for a quest.
* Hedgenton, in the center of the fort East of town where you fight the robber in the dungeon.
* On the front steps of the Monastery of Icecreek Dale.
* Next to the Bellevue Arena.
* On Haven Isle, if it isn't there when you first enter the game try going down the ladder in the tower and back up.
You can't ALWAYS find them in the above location but they do show up there quite often.
-
Well if you go into game now... until Christmas... you will find them in somewhat random locations just sitting on the ground waiting for you
Sorry I haven't been around much lately ...

Oh that is really cool Dax! Take whatever images you need to make it easier
