Games you wish had been better than they were

I'm partially seconding this. I thought the dungeons we got were pretty good. Maybe the layout wasn't as complex as OoT and MM, but they were all very unique visually and gave you fun ways to use your tools, even the boat. However, my problem still lies with the dungeons; namely, there are at least two fewer than there should be. I want my water orb dungeon.

I also second that it was a great game, regardless of the dungeon flaws.

I would list quite a few Final Fantasy games, but they are basically dead to me. Their stories are far to simular, the character are basically all the same, powers and enemies are the same, and what makes the predictable plot worse is that you cannot influence it at all. All story advancement happens in cutscenes and considering the genre is, role playing game, I want to know why I have no say so in who my character is. Atleast for once make it something other then, androgenous wangsty teen. Oh and remember you aren't america, YOU DONT HAVE TO SHOVE A LOVE STORY SUB-PLOT INTO EVERYTHING

Sounds like someone needs to play Final Fantasy Tactics. Preferably The War of the Lions.

Which makes me sad that Matsuno had that mental breakdown. FFXII could have been the bestest thing ever.

I spoke purely of the main FF line, off shoots I haven't played and thus cannot comment on

You can just ignore Vaan and Penelo and FFXII's still pretty good, except for some lame cliche plot twists (Basch's evil twin? If this had been real Ogre Battle-level Matsuno, Basch would've killed the king for real and had an excuse/reason for it and there would be tension between the characters and stuff.) Also the story ball seemed to be dropped in the last couple of hours. Oh, and the villain turned into a Godbeast for no apparent reason just because I guess FF has to have those as the final boss? Definitely wish Matsuno had supervised the entire thing.

Another game that was mildly disappointing to me was Castlevania: Curse of Darkness because Lament of Innocence just seemed to get it, and then Curse of Darkness did not get it. Who else agrees?

Go play TWotL like RIGHT FUCKING NAO. You won't regret it.

[Aerozord]

you do realize you told me to go somewhere, which indicates I do not know of it, and yet you use an acronym?

TWotL=The War of the Lions, the PSP version of Final Fantasy Tactics.

[Magus]

Yeah it might be hard to figure out that that means Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (which is the remake of FFT for Playstation). That's the one you should play. And then play like some of the Ogre Battle and Tactics Ogre games for no other reason than they're by Yasumi Matsuno and also that they are completely awesome.

Hahahaha, what's even funnier is Google's best stab at "TWotL" is the Australian slang for vagina.
