TomNook7 07/04/11 12:03:00 AM #1:	Series hasn't been good since 10 imo. And that was almost ten years ago. FF has taken the Sonic route, it seems. But apparently Sonic has recently made his comeback. Think FF can ever do the same? And can you imagine if something like this happened to Zelda or Mario? -- Genesis does what Nintendon't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7nsBoqJ6s8 <cite>TomNook7 posted [p:53412] in Will there...

Psycho_Kenshin 07/04/11 12:04:00 AM #4:	Well thats the thing, FF is just a label, whatever director and team Square puts on it might make a great RPG sometime, and that'll be groovy. It'll probably happen again. Of course, to me it really doesn't mean much that it says Final Fantasy on it. -- One Piece: Pirates with style! -= Metal Gear Solid: Tactical Espionage Action =- <cite>Psycho_Kenshin posted [p:53415] in Will there...

TomNook7 07/04/11 12:08:00 AM #7:	What was good about FF13, exactly? It was literally a game that played itself. And how did that happen on such a supposedly huge budget? Anyone who's played 4, 6, and 7 should know better than to like 13. To support that game is blasphemy...could you imagine if other JRPG series took the same route? Dragon Quest being dumbed down to linear hallways, Tales' battle system being entirely auto-battle. It makes me lose a little bit of faith in the gaming community when I see people praise FF13. -- Genesis does what Nintendon't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7nsBoqJ6s8 <cite>TomNook7 posted [p:53418] in Will there...

If Square is supposedly this bad now, then it sure has been one heck of a slide, because FF6 and CT both shot straight up to my top 5 when I played through them. I see some FF7 in my life in two or three months though... You don't know the half of it, brother. Everything from FF4 to 6 (It starts with one of the SNES games) to FFX is a rollercoaster of awesomeness. The rest? Terrible, terrible, terrible. -- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. <cite>KanzarisKelshen posted [p:53449] in Will there...

That's awful. :( Yeah, that's one reason Square is in the position they are today. Once Sakaguchi left, and that merger with Enix went through, there was an exodus of talented people. Nomura and Kitase are about all that's left - and Kitase doesn't make games anymore, he only oversees them.

vcharon 07/04/11 1:09:00 AM #41:	*LeonhartFour posted...* No world map, "linear," streamlined the airship, etc. Yeah, I know. But to me I judge genre by, you know, gameplay like most people with sense do and not if I can fly an airship around the entire world in 20 seconds. "Purists" in that sense are bad, yeah. While one can hope Square one day returns to the roots a little more, I don't see it as forthcoming since the genre is basically dead now, certainly in the mainstream world. -- :> <cite>vcharon posted [p:53452] in Will there...

KanzarisKelshen 07/04/11 1:15:00 AM #45:	What exactly is cookie-cutter about saying the Final Fantasies from 4 to 10 are some of the finest jRPGs out there? If you don't like the truth, go cry about the sky being purple. I'm one of those nutcases who thinks FF8 is the best FF by far, and I doubt my opinions line up with most of the fanbase's. It's just that Square was an absolute hit machine in the 90's, and anyone who denies that is trying way too hard to be edgy and different by having stupid opinions. -- Placeholder anti-capslock sig. <cite>KanzarisKelshen posted [p:53456] in Will there...

FFVIII is easily my favorite as well in fact. But I find that the whole series is variable in quality the whole time. You mentioned IV-X as the best, but I definitely found some of the ones outside that range (I, III, XI, XII) to easily surpass some of those in there. <cite>pjbasis posted [p:53458] in Will there...

I'd say XI doesn't count - not because it's bad, but because it really isn't a Final Fantasy other than through its nametag. I'll agree that it and IIIDS are great though - I sorta bored me and basic XII is a snoozefest.
