Koninbeor Posted March 11, 2014 Share #28 Posted March 11, 2014 For seven games, the Final Fantasy series was nothing but pure awesome. FFVIII devoured a small part of my soul. I hoped that nothing so horrendous could ever happen to the series ever again. FFIX came out, and it didn't suck. Yay! Then, FFX came out and I found myself actually missing FFVIII. It was that bad. But did they stop there? No... no, they went on and made a sequel. Screw... that... While FFXIII wasn't nearly as good as FFXII, it wasn't the horror that was FFX and still outshone FFVIII by leaps and bounds. Even so, a sequel? And not even that, but TWO sequels? Why not a sequel to FFVII? Or FFVI? Or FFXII? Or... anything other than VIII? Here's hoping that FFXV gets back to pure awesome, like what we had with FFXII. Link to comment
TheLastCandle Posted March 13, 2014 Share #29 Posted March 13, 2014 Don't knock FFVIII! Far from my favorite, but it was a fun game. Easy to break, though. Abusing the junction system + enemies scaling with level is funnnnnn. 8-) As for FFX.. on one hand, I hate that it was so linear, and I hate Tidus as a main character. On the other, I really liked the battle system and a few of the characters (Auron, Kimahri, Lulu) and I'm one of those crazy people who actually had fun with the Blitzball minigame. Not sure if I'm going to bite on the remake, but it's tempting. In the meantime, FFXV does look like it's going to be decent. Ironically, I always thought it was looked similar in overall presentation to FFVIII based on trailers. Link to comment

Ironically, I always thought it was looked similar in overall presentation to FFVIII based on trailers. Visually, FFVIII was an excellent game. They made some HUGE improvements over FFVII in that regard. What I didn't like about it was the fact that Squall was, in my mind, the most boring and least compelling hero in Final Fantasy history. Also, junctioning was just a bad concept all around. If you use magic then your characters get weaker. In addition to that, junctioning powerful magic makes you essentially invincible if you want to spend countless hours stockpiling. No thanks! I didn't like Tidus as a main character, either, but he was an improvement over Squall. I did think that blitzball sucked but I'm not a big fans of mini games in general. The combat for FFX was okay for all 10 minutes that you actually got to play the game instead of watching an endless string of cutscenes. Link to comment
Kage Posted March 17, 2014 Share #31 Posted March 17, 2014 So how'd the event go for those who went? I was unable to go as I'd thought... but when I was up early to take my car in (5am early) I had heard from friends that there were already 50-60 people in line. Link to comment

Hell, I've never even played either of the games. However, I threw on my extrovert pants and it. WAS. AMAZING! I'm sorry you couldn't go ExKage D: Would have been awesome if you made it! I'll go into a little more detail when I get more of a chance. I just hope I'll end up on the Squarenix videos (or rather I hope I can find it since we got filmed doing a certain thing!)
