Current Events > Square betray me I FED UP WITH THIS WORLD

(+) Yeah! (+)

I trusted Square, and this betrayal combined with my Aspergers is just making me lose all hope.

I just don't think I can pretty much track my childhood and growth to adulthood alongside the release of Final Fantasy games. It's funny how my maturation ended up paralleling that of the series itself. I guess I'm just blessed that by concidence my birth happened at the exact time to make something like this even possible.

Wide eyed and excited,brash and sure of righteousness and good in the world, I felt drawn to FF4 (2 US) on the SNES like no game I had ever been drawn to before. A few years later I was a little more vulnerable, understanding my need for friendships and trust, and FF6 (3 US) was there as well, Terra and I were going through the same experiences in our lives.

I purchased a Playstation just because of FFVII, and I was rewarded for my trust with only the greatest game to ever grace a console. Bold, deep, mature, it was everything I was craving. The loss of Aerith paralleled a deep personal loss I had experienced just prior IRL, and just like with FF6, I felt like the game and I sort of got through the tough periods together.

This continued with FF8, and FF9 was just what I was looking for at the time, an joyfull reminder of youth and things past, a sense that it was okay to recapture it and revel in it, even if its time was past.
Once again I picked up a PS2 just for FF games. I would talk about how FFX mirrored my brash entry into a more adult world and relations with the opposite sex, and X-2 led to my understanding and acceptance of that other sex as a full time part in my life, but I just dont have the heart. My soul is crushed. I can't even think about talking about FF12 right now I just can't.
I brought a PS3 for FFXIII and not much else. I put my trust in Square, in Sony, in myself. That trust has been broken. I really don't know what I am feeling right now but it is unfamiliar. I'm angry, but it is more than that. Part of the FF series was making that total commitment to the console, and being rewarded for that commitment with a barrage of emotions, feelings, and sensations that only a game carefully crafted in a symbiotic relationship with a single console could provide. Now that Square-Enix has violated my trust, and this bond, it's not going to be the same this time.

I hate to say it but it looks like I am going to have to forge a life of my own now. without Final Fantasy guiding me along. But right not all I feel like I can do is cry.

lol i remember the crying when this happened.

What exactly did Square do though? FF 16 is going to be on ps5. What is the issue ?

I think TC's just shitposting about how people were acting when FFXIII was confirmed for 360. The best part of that time were Gigaheart's posts on this site.

Betray.

It's no longer strictly exclusive to Playstation anymore. I think like 6 months after initial release it will be available for PC and Xbox as well. That is what TV is waxing poetic about.

you're just chocobo tc

cheepcheepcheep

You have the same sig as your main. Just post on that. No one here is going to judge you for having Aspergers or liking Final Fantasy.
