I am looking forward to this (360), hopefully it isnt a disapointment like everything after FFVII. I will give it a chance, probably play the first 2 discs.

Yeah probably will be good, But Once Square soft Stopped making FF games for the PC platform and then also made a Online FF game thats tougher and crazier then WOW i kinda got out of the series... Will never forget FF7 & FF8.. still think its crazy that the FF series originated on Nintendo but after FF2 & FF3 Anger by square soft over nintendo liscensing prices & royalties costs  with Secret of Mana led the FF Series to other consols... i think FF could be done awesome on the wii myself..

Not really interested in XIII the franchise is horrible now, not to mention the entire console game market itself. Tho I can see the potential for better games with the series leaving Playstation 2 which did horrible things to FF.

i was watching this kid play at gamestop, and this TOKEN black guy said all the same ebonics that you find in most games with TOKEN black guys

In final fantasy 7 it was a Barret, he was a black guy but not that had to resort to saying stupid stuff like, "thats dope", "dats wack", "yo" etc.

Looks like im taking another pass on FF series... Square always disappoints.

yeah FF has a pattern for generic team balance for political correctness. FFX had the entire cast of FF7 in different skins, it was lame.

Also about the CDs I've been reading that the game has been asking people to Insert CD at random parts and re-inserting previously inserted CDs

I have to say that Final Fantasy 13 was horrible.
It held your hand on a linear leash of hell for 30 hours then expected you to explore the barren wasteland of nothingness! I don't want to do quests, this isn't WoW! or is it.
I disliked it. Truly, madly, deeply. The combat system wasn't that bad but I eventually just mashed X, and tapped L1 to switch jobs once or twice and called it good.
I hope FF15 is better.

Oh it won't be, trends have changed too much to go back to 90s era gaming.

Suckage


I dislike the FF series since FF8. Then they brought it back for me with FF9. Then they ripped open my wounds inflicted by FF8 but healed by FF9 with FF10 and since then it's been downhill.

FF11 was online so that doesn't count. I played it, and hated it.

Yeah I like 8 the most, because the story interested me and it was more serious and I suppose "mature" than the other ones. But I am comfortable knowing the games I like are dry and boring. It was the first FF to actually look nice, which was a plus at the time it came out, tho looking nice hasn't been such a great strategy for them ever since.
Playstation2 RUINED the FF series plain and simple. I'm glad their games are on the xbox now, as it will either fix the monarchy PS had or just turn the series into a FPS.
FF10 irks me the most, as they spent all their effort on it looking nice. They used the NES dungeon strategy for the whole game for christ sakes.
7 was great because it was so creative and abstract, 9 was good cause it was pure fantasy and no bullshit, 12 was 'european' and had only monster cameos to tie it to the FF series.

Meh FF8 was a horrible convoluted story that made no sense. Filled with plot holes as big as the galaxy we're in.

I disliked how you had to DRAW magic. It was lame.

I might just play FF9 again now.

I have it, I'm looking at it. :O
Title: Re: Final Fantasy XIII
Post by: Flashwerewolf on May 17, 2010, 06:17:11 PM
Ah, thats why I liked it oddly enough. I love the idea of sucking the life from things in games and thus liked drawing magic from the monster that I would then use to end its life. I have drain life MtG decks, and in games usually go for whatever build lets me draw away the life of my victims.
Its a JRPG so the ridiculous potholed story is to be expected. I liked the character relations a lot, they were very deep and complex. The characters were more interesting to me than in other RPGs.
Wild Arms 1 is still my favorite RPG of all time tho.
Title: Re: Final Fantasy XIII
Post by: Yokijirou on May 17, 2010, 06:55:40 PM
Wild Arms was good stuff.

I donno I just don't think the writers for FF8 thought we knew what a good story is.

I mean the guy in the cowboy hat just was like OMG DUDES WE ALL GREW UP TOGETHER DUHHHHH and knew all along ><

I was like, wtfff

Irvine, yeah. I never used him much, he was the cocky outsider in the group so I left him to that. I was disappointed when he turned out to be a big softy who was scared of the world.
Theres a theory of what was going thru the writers minds for FF8 I have saved somewhere, its really long, but hilarious and makes sense in an illogical way.
Pretty much the story was you were mercs who got caught up in the upper level struggle between big groups that included crazy witches.
