Jedi Academy is the only game we have found — other than older versions of the game like Jedi Outcast — that offers a complete and enjoyable swordfighting system where you can actually control the direction and power of your swings. It is with lightsabers by default (as it is Star Wars themed), but that can be easily changed with free and unobtrusive modifications. The following is a guide for new players on getting started with buying and installing the most basic components of the game.

To get a cheap and legal copy of Star Wars: Jedi Knight III Jedi Academy, you have two options: getting a physical copy of the CDs, which can be cheaper or more expensive depending on which seller you order from, or downloading it via Steam.

At the moment, the cheapest way to get a hardcopy of Jedi Academy besides eBay is on Amazon, for $5.75 plus shipping unless you get free shipping. This is the recommended route as it will install to the normal location and having a hardcopy means you can easily reinstall on another computer without a hassle with Steam. You can also check Google’s price listings, though its Amazon listing is out-of-date.

If you want Jedi Academy quickly and without a hardcopy, though keeping in mind that its install location will be different from the norm, you can use Steam’s listing which is currently for $9.99. The advantage of this method is free shipping, it’s fast (instant delivery to your computer via download), and Steam keeps your game up to date for you (but there has only been one patch to date).

If you bought Jedi Academy via Steam, it will keep it updated automatically so you don’t need to manually download the patch. If you bought and installed the hardcopy, go to this JK3Files page and download the file and install it. JK3Files is the site pretty much everyone uses for downloading mods for the game. Most mods are thoroughly described in the review and installation instructions are usually shown in the readme files.

However, another thing you will probably want to do is download the latest JA+ client plugin for your system. This will enable some advanced features, such as isolated dueling, on the majority of servers that you will end up playing on.

Once you have the game, the patch (automatic with Steam), and the client plugin, you are ready to go for the majority of servers. (A few servers use client-side only mods like Movie Battles II, which can be downloaded from JK3Files.) But Jedi Academy isn’t just your average point and click shooter – with your sword or lightsaber you will find that there is a whole new world that you need to learn about before you can get good at the game.

Learning how to play the game all on your own takes a lot longer than getting training from an experienced fighter. You can try School of War, or you can come to Azuma Zaibatsu’s server to get training from any of our warrior-teachers. If you want more in-depth training, consider registering on the forums and applying to our clan. We are a Japanese-themed clan with a military-style ranking system and three classes (Warrior, Officer, and Modder).

After gaining some experience with the game, you will realize that it is actually not a hard game at all. We think that this game is amazing and needs to live on and we hope you will join us.

I’ve been thinking about ways to arrange this site. There is going to be a lot of information on here and storing all of it using the pages you see up top will not work because the pages will get so long that they become cumbersome to deal with. And I can only have so many pages before the menu runs out of space!

So I figured I would take advantage of this website’s blogging platform and use categories and posts to organize a lot of the information. The first thing you will see is me splitting the “Diplomacy” page into three separate posts. These posts will be labeled “DIP-#” because each type of issuance (i.e. something that the leadership is issuing) is part of a category of different types of statements that can be made. “DIP” means diplomacy. Also, the post will be tagged “Diplomacy” to signify that as well.

You will be able to use the categories and tags boxes at the right to sort through these posts.

I think that will make it much easier to figure out when there is a change to the clan’s rules or something of that nature, because before one of those pages would get edited and no one would know. This will also make it so that we are publishing content on this site far more frequently, which is great because it is the first thing you see when you go to azumazaibatsu.org.

Due to a problem with upgrading the database from version 4 to 5, I had to re-install WordPress. I imported all the old pages and posts, but the user accounts on the website are gone, unfortunately. However, they really didn’t have any useful purpose, so it shouldn’t be a problem unless you were using it for something.

Due to a significant change in our membership, the “families as guilds” structure to our clan has been temporarily discarded. See the changes on the family page.

Also, you may have noticed that the forum theme changed. I had to change it because the old theme isn’t compatible with the latest release of Simple Machines Forum. I know, it’s kind of ugly, but hopefully our old theme will be updated soon.

I apologize to the maker of the original AZ banner. I would have only changed a small part of it, but I lost the PSD file and had to make a completely new banner. I hope it looks alright.

We are currently in the process of modifying this website, please disregard what you see.
