Final Fantasy XIII....-2

[Prpl_Mage]

That may be true, but at least FF12 had some parts that could classify as dungeons. There was a cave in XIII, but you pretty much just ran right through it to get out on the other side without even fighting a boss. But you did see a Fal'cie on the way out.
FFXIII was a lot like Resident evil 5 in that matter, but no puzzles whatsoever. Following the pebbled road will lead you to the right place, and if you don't open that chest - you never will be able to.

This

If you haven't played FF13 Zerls, then you know not corridors. If they put that desert on XIII it wouldn't matter, it'll be a single road all the way.

What does it mean? All the way...

[Fortet]

Double rainbow all the way across the sky?

[Cosmos]

Two years is very generous >_>

Lawl if you say so.

Personally I'd prefer long corridors to the wide open endless deserts of FFXII.

I kind of agree. But then again, I'm not that picky.

[Prpl_Mage]

I'd actually run through monster infested plains where I can wander off into the jaws of a behemoth rather than being forced to follow a narrow road and more or less engaging every enemy on screen unless I use some world map item while every "chest"(see: metallic floating orb) is placed 1,5 feet away from the main path.

haha, I go to look up some videos on FFXII and XIII and you still see people arguing over FFVII. **** is ridiculous.

I'm going to sound like a total n00b, but I've already lost my pride to Zerl, soooo I heard somewhere that some high-up guy in squenix wanted to reply to all the fanboys having heart attacks over the "subpar" nature of the new FFs, and, reportedly, he said they simply can't make games with as much extra content as they used to while matching the graphical standards they've set for themselves. Simply put, it would take an enormous amount of time and effort to add all that extra content, which would mean extra graphical content.

I don't know, I read this on some random site, so I'm doubtful of its authenticity. Any one want to corroborate that story?

[fruckert]

If that's true, then they should realize from the bitching that even though people agree that the games are pretty, people are appreciating substance over style a lot these days.

[drenrin2120]

I rarely hear a good argument for substance over graphics when it comes to FF. Its mostly just "wahhh. FF7 was a model and *piss moan*".

Also, I'm ignoring zerl and archem.

I loved Final Fantasy XIII. Haters gonna hate.

[Grandy]

I liked VI (Good plot and characters), VII (Great plot. I mean the original game by itself, before the Complication started.), IX (The characters are just so great and well-developed), XIII (XII? The one with Balthier, the Gayest Straight Man On Ivalice), Tactics (Quite probably the best Tactics style game before the PS2 brought Disgaea in) and Tactics Advance II.

X felt just "uhh....", The PSP remake of the first game was okay, but perhaps I needed nostalgia googles I didn't have to fully appreciate it.

Dissidia doesn't count. I liked it, to an extent, but it's simply not final fantasy, or at least what I understand as "Final Fantasy".

Dirge of Cerberus, the same, but I take away the "I liked it" part.

The movie sucked. Advent Children was a great fight sequence. not a movie, just a big, great, wonderful battle scene with great special effects.

I don't think I ever played other Final Fantasy games. Kingdom Hearts, if you want to stretch it.

...

Wait, this is charas and the thread is in it's fourth page, we're still talking about Final Fantasy here?

[Fortet]

I've never played Final Fantasies I-VI.

Although I should...

[Archem]

Yeah, good idea. Glad you can show some restraint (even if it is after you've already said something).

I've never played Final Fantasies I-VI.

Shame on you.

[drenrin2120]

You know what, really, forget my last post, this has all gone too far. I'm splitting the thread, no more words about Dren please. Let's get back on topic and leave the man alone.

Awww, it's cool. You act like I can't handle a little razzing! As if I, in my emasculated, ego deflated, mentally unstable state, which would purportedly have been a direct result of your uncanny attempts to haze me, have devised a detailed plan which I'm setting in motion this very moment to fly to where you all live, spending all my college savings fund, to murder you all with a rusty spork and how I got excellent deals on flights to Brazil on Expedia... or something! Jeeeeeez! pffff

[Prpl_Mage]

A bit late to split it lucas... It's not like everyone was talking about the Dren, more like you talking about the Dren.
It was all fun and games.

Also, I kinda like the first FF's more than the later, the first 6 where all fantasy-ish while 7,8, 10(I guess) and 13 where more sci fi. I kinda prefer swords over guns and airships over tazers and OMGWTF ENTERPRISE!

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

No, you can still split the topic and go away with whatever nonsensical shenanigans you are bringing up upon my thread! Let it die in peace!
