I know, but it would be good practice for me to transcribe something for a large ensemble.
|
The only one I've ever played was I and II on the GBA and XIII on my Xbox.
But XIII is like watching a fucking 12 hour movie. Barely and gameplay and all cinematic. |
And when there is gameplay it's so fucking linear that it may as well be a movie.
|
My biggest peev about it is no towns.
I like towns. |
The fuck is an FF game (or any RPG) without towns?
|
Shit. And that's what it is.
|
Is it a long shit? How many hours of shit? I was planning on buying it the other day.
|
80 hours of shit. Something fucking stupid like that.
|
I found out yesterday that final fantasy was called "final fantasy" because the Square Enix thought it would be their last game before the company got shut down.
I would say something derogitory about Final Fantasy and Square in general, but they published Just Cause 2. So in my books shitty JRPGs for awesome open world games is a fair trade off. |
:
|
Oh were they called Squaresoft? I didn't even know Square and Enix were seperate companies at one point.
|
A lot of people will tell you that it all went to shit after the merger, and they're almost certainly right.
|
Do you know what? I don't think they will.
|
I will. Squaresoft > SquareEnix.
|
I watched some Let's Play videos of FFXIII the other day. I thought it looked pretty fun, might consider renting it if I'm in for some mindless linear gameplay.
|
That's the problem. It LOOKS fun, when you're watching it, but when you get down to playing it, it's not so great.
|
Lost Odyssey was the real FFXIII.
|
I wonder why FFXIII got so many good reviews if it wasn't a good game. Or do you people perhaps mean it was a good game as a game, but not as a FF game?
|
I sort of want to play XIII just to see what all the fuss is about.
Also because I've played every other final fantasy ever and I can't be letting the side down. |
It's bad as a game not just as a FF game. I actually can't find anything good to say about the game, it's just too... baaaaaddd.
|
It is bad.
1.) Battle system is exciting as playing with kitchen utensils. 2.) No towns. 3.) Grinding isn't fun. 4.) Linear. 5.) Hope. |
Agreed that Lost Odyssey was the true FF13. Fuck, that game was amazing.
|
Dirge of Cerberus.
Discuss? |
Good game, limited as fuck.
|
The game itself was a good idea, but yes, it could have been better.
It also needed moar Barrett. |
I hate the idea of Omega Weapon.
|
Yeah. He should've made a cameo in the original game, or at least, got a mention.
Most of the stuff in DoC just came out of nowhere without any real mention before. |
Saying that, Emerald and Ruby were already pretty stupid.
>Weapons designed to protect the planet from Shinra >Sapphire Weapon attacks Junon >Ultima Weapon attacks just about everywhere >Diamond Weapon attacks Midgar >Ruby and Emerald just sit around looking boss. |
Saphiroth...
FF 012 Dissidia is a cool game! /for me/ Chaos VS Cosmos... |
DoC was fun to play and I really enjoyed it at times. It's a pity they didn't do more with it.
|
The Emerald fight was pretty hard until you equipped no materia.
|
VII was the only one I ever liked, I just liked how fast-paced and satisfying the gameplay was, classic turn-based stuff ftw. Plus it helps that the game was super friggin' linear because I don't like getting lost in games and I'm not really big on side-quests for some reason. (Although I did try to get the Emerald Weapon lol) But yeah, I hated the WOW-esque gameplay they introduced in XII and therefore never finished that game despite really adoring the art direction and graphics. I also played the first two on FF Origins but never really got into it, I actually prefer the more cinematic FFs. I just really like the cyber-punk theme in VII and would probably like XIII if I gave it a chance.
What I really want if a remake of FFVII...*sighs* I remember thinking this was gonna be a real game someday. |
They should leave it how it is. It's better to think 'what if...' than 'Well, the old one was better...'
|
They've already ruined FFVII enough. Leave it be.
|
And X. Leave X alone. It doesn't need High Defed, cunts.
|
I'm looking forward to the HD update of FFX!
|
My favorites are IV, VI, VII, VIII, X, and XIII. My absolute favorite is VIII. I still love Squall and gang, like old friends. VII was great, Fuck the haters who just jumped on the VII sucks bandwagon. I only validate REAL reasons to hate it. The only bad points are the translation and weird ass pacing. And it's aged rather badly, sadly. And Nobuo Uematsu is amazing. He is only surpassed by Matsuda san's work on Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross...Scars of Time still sends shivers down my spine.
|
May I ask why you liked XIII?
|
the battle system, story and characters. I enjoyed it for what it is, not what its not. Not nearly as good as X or VIII, though. I look forward to the sequel, looks like an improvement. Versus is my absolute most anticipated game, though.
|
Ridg3 and I hold similar opinions. For both of us to be fans of Final Fantasy before the 21st century, let me tell you why FF13 is an insult.
Battle system? Final Fantasy's battle system was perfect until Enix. 12 ruined it, and 13 raped and spat on it. Turn-based may be old-school, but an old-school recipe can be revamped. Play Lost Odyssey; Hironobu and Nobou, FF's big players made that game the real Final Fantasy XIII. Story... admittedly, yes... quite interesting until late Disc 2... then, it got boring. It was recycling nostalgic memories from earlier titles. It put me off, until I returned to it just to get achievements and to probably give it a chance to kick up at the end... nope... Characters.. Agh... Lightning is Cloud. Snow is Zidane. Fang is Auron. Sazh is a pathetic replacement for Barret; he's black and shoots bullets. Am I being racist? Why not give him a spear, then? Hope is the emotional distraught faggot. Play earlier games, you'll find one... Vanille is the airhead... you don't need to look far... 70% of people who liked FF13 have never played the previous titles. The remainder are those who think the franchise have a chance (through yaoi fanfiction) In a nutshell...13 is shit. Play Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon; Hironobu and Nobou made (if somewhat underrated) epics of them. |
