Personally, I'm interested in FF12. If only for the fact that I need a memorable FF game for my PS2. I mean, don't get me wrong, FFX was good. But if it's the best FF in the entire PS2's lifespan, I'm gonna shed a tear.
That, plus after playing KotOR I really enjoy RPG battles in the semi-free roam format. And I want to kick the shit out of some bunny women in 3-D. And Advent Children was pure eye candy. While the plot was half decent if you know just about everything about the game, it overwhelms new comers to the game/movie. Ontop of that, it all seemed to be a big lemon squeeze just to get the ungodly Neo/Smith styled battle at the end. I mean, cutting stone I get, but wtf was up with the random flying? Out of the movie, I'd have to say I was rooting more for Reno and Rude then Cloud. 'cause you know he's gonna win, where's the suspense? |

Y'know all I want out of Squenix is a Chrono Trigger sequel and a FFVI sequel (whoa! whoa! Come down everybody! All I am asking for is continuation of the best FF game of all time with the use of sprites like the SNES version, no Charlies' Angels themed crapstick of a sequel). Of course, those two sequels will never happen because apparently SE hates happiness.

...dude...that was the worst criticism I've ever heard. Not only was it offensive to gay people, it was offensive to those that whorship the great Sea Serpent Leviathen.
Also, until I see some actual pictures of female FFXIII Cloud, I'm not going to start vomiting in terror. Also, I wasn't a huge fan of FFVI. It was too dead looking, the art style didn't really appeal to me (Concept art, I mean. It didn't really look like the characters. Although this dude was the same guy that drew the art for ff9 and FFIV, neither of which's art impressed me) What I want out of Squarenix is a polished up FF7 for PS3, same plot, same mechanics, just updated graphics, soundtrack, VO and maybe a bit of harmless extra content. Like what they did with the Anthology/chronicles packages. Also, I can't wait to get my hands on those games for PSP, mostly because I felt Zack was always far superior to Cloud in the fact that A. Zack has cooler hair, and isn't a short ass, and B. His personality is likeable instead of emo. Last edited by Random Ninja; 09-19-2006 at 12:36 AM. |

But honestly all that is beside the point, what it really comes down to is - you know, if Final Fantasy had done thirteen, totally awesome games, that didn't annoy the crap out of me for various and infuriating reasons? I would be like all right Square, way to make thirteen totally awesome games that don't annoy the crap out me! And I mean, if they had made like six good Zelda games, and then a progression of increasingly weak-sauce sequels and effete emo-boy Links? I'd be like well, fuck Zelda. And I mean dang, since when have people not bashed Zelda? I mean, people bashed the shit out of Wind Waker, and that game's worst sin was what, cel-shading? (For the record, I was pretty much okay with cel-shading, I bashed the shit out of Wind Waker because it murdered Goddamn Hyrule.) And hell forget Wind Waker, I know I'm not the only person who had their last fucking nerve plucked by goddamn LoZ 2, aka 'The Shitty Side-Scrolling One'. I mean okay, we didn't have an internet to bitch about it on back then, but that didn't stop us bitching, all the same.

I think it's funny how... polarized the opinions of any given game or series is...
Its not even like its about how good the game is verses another game... its just this heated debate about how, say, Final Fantasy 8 was either friggin' sweet or smelled metaphorically of President Taft's least-often cleaned body part.

Now, of course, FF isn't the most mind blowing puzzle game ever, and some of the trips get annoying (Most notably those mofo'ing Trials of Fayth or whatever in FFX) but at least when they give you dungeons, they have greater differences then tile colouring and a pallette swapped enemies. (For the most part) And the graphic flare they deliver is way better then any boss fight I've seen in the LoZ games, save for possibly the bitchin' giant demon hog thing in OoT. Ontop of that, I wasn't too fond of Wind Waker for the fact that everyone looked like they came out of a retarded British saturday morning cartoon. It wasn't the cell shading, it wasn't the complete slaughter of Link's character, but the fact that they all looked like fuggin' rejects from Pikmin. Also, it's nice that the games give new characters in each installment. I know alot of people stretch for ways to connect the storylines, and Squarenix never really lets them, but at least they dangle enough hints to make it interesting. And with these games, when they don't continously reuse the same heros/villians, they can't totally screw up their characters. They either start retarded and no one likes them, or they're cool and people remember them that way. (Such as with Ryu in Breath of Fire, who seemingly gets more effemninent with every reincarnation. Despite that, BoF 3 was, and is, my favourite Capcom RPG to date.) On a side note, at first, I was a total sucker for FF7, and when FF8 came out, I didn't mind it. Then everyone was like 'this game is vastly superior to the old styles of the archaic FF7!' and I was all 'Grrr' and started to hate the game from spite. But after I got over it, I can look back on the game and say that it really was a great game. I especially loved the card game, which is probably one of the few game long mini-games I every enjoyed, coming second behind Blitzball. So in closing, LoZ's had it's ups and downs, mostly at fault for falling back on the same bosses, enemies, weapons, spells, characters and backdrops (and when they tried to remove one or two of said elements, the games were less then impressive). FF has had it's same share of highs and lows, but mostly because they've placed so much detail in the game, and so much content that it can take away from the emotion expressed through the storyline. Like how when you eat a dessert every day for a month, you just can't stand to look at it anymore. Basicly, LoZ needs to start changing things in their games, but within a safe test margin until they know what they're doing, and Squarenix needs to take more time to turn the fight to fight content into something less repetitive and dreary so that when we finally do get to the plot points, we're not depressed or annoyed with those summa bitch random encounters, or tacked on side missions. |

But Tidus and Locke's character art kind of gives me that "womanly" vibe every time I see it. I think Sabin is the only one in those images that really is manly. Oh, and PS: The links to those sites don't work. They redirect to the main site.

Damn, I wish Sabin actually had the beard in FFVI.
