Diogo Ribeiro Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Usually, if the story only advances, or you can only reach the game's ending if you perform a set of actions in a linear, progressive manner then it can be argued that it is indeed linear; not the entire game itself, but the main part of the game. FFX-2 has several endings depending on your actions during the game. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's something I've always liked, and always seemed to be missing in most console games back in the day.

Judge Hades Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Well, I am judging by only the FF games I actually played. Never played FF X-2 and I probably never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six normal and two secret. Star Ocean III has either 4 or 6 What I tend to prefer about console multiple endings is they don't have that stupid pick a good or evil outcome option , rather you wont even know what ending your going to get till you get there. Shadow Hearts II does let you choose, but it's not about good or evil , so it's rather more mysterious as to what your ending will be. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Aren't the Shin Megami Tensei games the same as the Digital Devil Story games? I only ever played a SMT game, and it was the second of the SNES series. Seemed to have a nice setting and theme but it was vague and whacked out. The demon recruiting conversations led me to believe the developers were shooting themselves up with something nefarious during the game's development. Haven't finished it yet, though. Still it's good to know console games are using more and more of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats significant since I play a lot of JRPGs and normally it dosnt bother me. Pity help the people who dont breed a demon witn encounter reduction powers. There is one planned for the PS3 no details as yet though. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

Haitoku Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Final Fantasy games are not all the same. Except the spin-offs that are appearing every now then then (more recently). They all keep, trademark items however. Chocobos, Cactuar monsters, items names, city names sometimes and character names. And, what the hell? Spikey haired Hero? That's only been in the last what? Only in FF7? Please, don't generalize based on one game. FF - Who ever you want FF2 - 4 Group of friends, No spikey head FF3 - Who ever you want FF4 - Long haired guy FF5 - Normal Haircut guy FF6 - Green haired girl FF7 - Spiked hair hero FF8 - Normal Haircut FF9 - Normal haircut FFX - Normal Haircut FFXI - Who ever you want Yup, lots of stereotype Japanese anime heroes there. You should play the games before bashing them (even I played through Planescape Torment). Shin Megami Tensei:Lucifers Call has something like 8 endings. Six normal and two secret. Star Ocean III has either 4 or 6 What I tend to prefer about console multiple endings is they don't have that stupid pick a good or evil outcome option (Star Ocean III was such a horrible game...) Don't forget about Chrono Trigger/Cross that had their share of multiple endings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget about Chrono Trigger/Cross that had their share of multiple endings. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've played worse. I rather liked the combat system and training the AI was pretty good fun as well. The bonus items made it more of a challenge too. I didnt want to go too far back I have to agree with Volourn.

I spent a lot of time creating items too, trying to get my rank up to 1. But the story falls to peaces... I mean, was there any point in the entire first disc? All the characters seem so arbitrary... They are not different characters at all, just the same one with different models and voices... ; . ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those games where the gameplay kept me going even though the story didnt really hook me for ages. The game definately takes a long time to come upto speed. And likewise for the characters differences to become apparent. On reflection, probably way too long towards the end of disk one it still felt like the intro in some respects. Liked the 'pedia a lot though, pretty much had to read it to know what was going on though. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.
