Correct. If i hate FF7, what makes me think i'll the others.

The fact that they all have different writers, stories, characters and concepts?

Crashpunk 09-25-2010 08:19 AM

But its all the same gameplay though?

Wings of Fire 09-25-2010 08:23 AM

Actually, no.

Dixanadu 09-25-2010 11:11 AM

FF8's story was alot like FF7's if you pay attention...

All JRPGS = crap, with the exception of Mario RPGs

Cloud Squall joins Avalanche Garden in order to go on a mission to stop Shinra The Government.
Later, he becomes a body guard of Aeris Rinoa who falls in love with him.
Soon, they discover a force much eviler than Shinra The Government, Sephiroth Edea!
Sephiroth kills Aeris Ultimecia possesses Rinoa, so Cloud Squall goes after him her, he goes around the world trying to stop him her from bringing the Meteor time kompression.
Then he finds the airship Highwind Ragnarok and goes to the center of the world the end of time for the final battle. Afterward, he mourns Aeris saves Rinoa and everything is A-ok.

Wow that's unimaginative and stupid.

Dixanadu 09-25-2010 12:21 PM

Well, since I don't seem to think so, it isn't.

Wings of Fire 09-25-2010 12:25 PM

Hero joins group in order to try to stop domestic evil. Later he meets heroine and falls in love with her. Later he discovers that the domestic evil isn't the evil overlord, and the evil overlord has a connection to either the hero or his love interest. Hero gains band of followers, gives chase to evil overlord to stop generic doomsday play and chases evil overlord to their lair to have a final battle.

Is that really the best you can do, really?

Dixanadu 09-25-2010 02:58 PM

No, that's basically the layout of most FFs, including the odd deus ex machina. I'm not hating, mind you, I'm just pointing out that one plot could be successful, they'd use elements for it in another one of their games.

Wings of Fire 09-25-2010 03:08 PM

That's far trancended any plot or cliche, that's a pretty solid story structure there.

And the worth of any story is in the details.

Chubfish 09-25-2010 09:12 PM

Final Fantasy XIII was alright but I couldn't get over how linear it felt. Don't get me wrong, there is alot to do around areas but I just liked the freedom of the older ones. I didn't really like the "free roam" area much but I did everything there.

After completing the game fully, I didn't see any point of replaying through it, which to me is unlike any other Final Fantasy game really.

Basically it's an okay game, I just can't see why I would want to replay it (except maybe changing roles drastically but it does force you alot of the time to use set ones).


or maybe i have final fantasy 10 syndrome

OANST 09-27-2010 06:43 AM

I was too pissed that after 90 hours of running down a hallway, I still wasn't powerful enough to beat the final boss. I will never pick it back. I will never beat it. It can suck my dick.

Most emotional video game scene ever, fuck you haters.

pointblanc-slig 09-28-2010 02:13 PM

no you dont get it i loved number eight it was just that it was like the exact same as number seven

Ridg3 09-28-2010 02:16 PM

I suppose X was like VII and VIII? Y'know, the whole airship, evil guy, eviler guy, chase them down, kill them, game over?

Wings of Fire 09-28-2010 02:18 PM

They all had a guy called Cid!

Ridg3 09-28-2010 02:20 PM

Fuck, Cid was just that fucking awesome he needed an appearance in every FF game.

pointblanc-slig 09-28-2010 08:56 PM

Yeah sid was epic

Dixanadu 09-29-2010 01:19 PM

Most emotional scene in VII.

Dixanadu 10-02-2010 01:46 PM

With a name like that, do you spam the Grav Hammer all the damn time?

pointblanc-slig 10-06-2010 03:28 PM

Lol no but i had to change it because the gamertag stuffed up so im making new one

Dixanadu 10-07-2010 05:50 AM

I spam the shotgun, waiting inside a drop shield for the entire match. It's super effective.

Wings of Fire 10-07-2010 12:54 PM

I think spamming the grav hammer was the only part of Halo I enjoyed.

pointblanc-slig 10-09-2010 12:58 AM

yeah it was cool

Dixanadu 10-09-2010 05:01 AM

No, it wasn't. It was a big ugly thing.

Now it's a not-as-big ugly thing.

Crashpunk 10-09-2010 01:16 PM

Forget what I said about hating all RPGs. I've just played Earthbound 2 and its fantastic.

Lord Stanley 10-09-2010 06:03 PM

Better.

XIII was good up until Oerba.

X was fucking awesome.

Ridg3 10-10-2010 02:26 PM

You went a bit mad with XII's score I think, although, you got it spot on with XIII.

Wings of Fire 10-10-2010 02:28 PM

IX was way better than X.

As was X-2.

Feed me with your haaaaate

Bullet Magnet 10-10-2010 02:48 PM

It's weird having only three party members for the whole game.

Ridg3 10-10-2010 02:49 PM

Dammit... he edited.

EDIT: Sometimes you only have one O.o
