vaan wasn't particularly well drawn, but there was a decent amount of development and he was necessary for his connection to the seedier side of rabanastre. penelo was a waste but i liked the rest of the cast. as a main character i found tidus vastly more irritating. Quote:

Get one. You will not regret it buddy.
As for how you feel about XII, even if you weren't waiting for it, let me post this image to put things in perspective: http://i26.tinypic.com/2nlssoo.png It took too long for them to make it because of a bunch of internal problems, and the final result was shit. FFXII is essentially a game that plays itself while you take in the scenery. There is nothing good about this game. It's a pathetic attempt at being an RPG by trying to rip off an MMO -- and failing miserably at it -- while at the same time trying to present a poor excuse for a story with no good characters. |

VI is overrated by the hardcore fanbase it still has. The battle system is not that great. The story was decent, but I think FF7 outdid it (there are after all a lot of similarities between the two). The pacing was dumb; once you got to the World of Ruin everything got lame. IX was plagued by a really slllooow battle system and it sadly took away from the enjoyment. The skill system wasn't bad, but the battles themselves were boring. Talk about irony. The story was pretty crappy, and the soundtrack is one of the, if not THE weakest in the series. |

it doesn't play itself. the player sets the overall party strategy and the game takes care of the tedious repetitious basic tasks. to my mind that's vastly superior to the player having to do both.
anyway this is boring, you keep saying the same things. i found plenty to like; stop telling me what to think |

XII is so incomplete its not even funny. For instance, the license board. In North America we didn't even get the finished product. The special International edition has the board split up into different classes, if you will, for each character. Softens the blow of the rest of the battle system sucking, and it's better than nothing.
I'm not really telling you what to think, just telling you what *I* think |

the international edition isn't the "complete" version, it's a fleecing product. like the silver version of zeitgeist

No it's definitely as complete as the devs could make it. It's like FFX International. Both are superior to the original. Don't kid yourself.
The changes in the license board alone are significant... |

The OoT 2d remake was much cooler, too bad that one got shutdown.

??? - you should play Blue Dragon. It's like Dragon Quest (art style, simplistic nature, etc). meets Chrono Trigger/Cross (non-random battles, character designs) meets old school Final Fantasy.

i'll give it a look but honestly outside of FF i mostly despise RPGs. i hate generic anime-style character designs and the whole cutesy look. whenever i see a game like that, i can almost always tell that the gameplay will be nothing special either. there are really only a few notable exceptions to this- chrono being one, i suppose.

well chrono trigger character designs take on the same style, they're just 2D.
And the battle system is like a combination of a bunch of FF's and Chrono. It's cool. I think you will like it. |

FFVII and VIII were awesome.
Tactics kicked ass, too! Loved that game. |

Why? I could just never get into this game. It is the only one that I found myself playing less and less and eventually just stopping. This is markedly uncharacteristic of me - as I am the type that generally finishes what I start. What do you find good about this game?

well my opinion is not very valid as im not a hard core gamer but
i found this game even more enjoyable than ff7. it was awhile ago i played it. i remember i thought the main character was a bad ass. and for w/e reason, i just got so caught up in the storyline, didnt the black mage die or something, its inevitable? vivi! thas his name, and he had kids or something? i remember that almost brought tears to my eye. i thought the system to learn magic was better than ff7, and far betteer than ff8, albeit it might it seem sort of elementary. it holds a special place in my heart more because of the time frame i was playing it in my life, rather than the game itself. |

on the Blue Dragon note, Im a huge FF fan and really appreciate Nobuo Uematsu's composing. Ill save my opinions on each FF, but note my opinion on Blue Dragon.
Im about 5 hours into disc 2, and it's not too bad. The characters are designed by the same dude who did Dragonball Z, and while Im not a fan of Dragonball I find all the characters well designed. The gameplay is very very linear. I havnt yet had the chance to go out on my own and explore difference areas, or really do any side quests, but then again I havnt gotten the airship yet which would allow the majority of this. The battles are fun, but a bit slow paced. Standard battle command menus. The fun part about the battle system is the classes. Alot like FF5, as well as some others, you have the option to change your class and level up that specific class. You can also equip skills that you gain for each character as you level up your class too which makes for some cool customization. Alot like Chrono Trigger, you see your enemies on the field, which I prefer tons more than random battles. What I found cool is you have the option to attach skills (gained with leveling up classes) to certain characters that can effect the enemies on the field, such as stun bomb, or barrier which defeats the enemy instantly (but costs 30 mp). The music is great, but there isnt enough. It seems theres only 2 dungeon themes, one for the more mystical areas and one for the industrial parts. The game spans over 3 DVDs I thought I was going to get more music here. The voice acting is ehh...typical I guess. One of your characters, Marumaru, sounds like a little whiny japanese schoolboy. I wish there was an option to mute his voice alone. Story is basic...mechanical robots used in an ancient war are being used to attack the world, need to find the dude behind it. blah blah blah. Its good, so far Id say a solid 7 outta 10. Graphics are really beautiful. Though I find myself trying to rush through this so I can start on Lost Odyssey. But if I didnt like Blue Dragon I would give it up all together. |
