FF XII

[Darque]

Why don't you admit that you have bad tastes?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Or you could. "

[astr0creep]

I think it's odd that someone would complain about not being able to get certain components and spells and junk in VIII (great game) but doesn't care a whit about the awful Knights of the Round materia in VII. Now THAT was awful.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Whats awful about hitting the enemy (12x9999)x3 damage?

[Nick_i_am]

FFX-2 was pretty awful...or at least, it SHOULD have been, but somehow, it was actually fun. If you want a big epic story, or an actual story then erm, go somewhere else, but nice enough battle system with 'tounge in cheek' gameplay/diologue.

 

The soundtrack was a complete abomination.

 

MISSION TIME!

Jesus, try beating Emerald Weapon without knights of the round. It's a bitch, I can tell you.

Yup. With KotR you can beat him in like 3-4 rounds. he can barely take a shot at you. But then again, the reward for beating him is useless.

I did.

 

It was very easy... compared to Ruby.

 

It just took a very long time.

The reward of getting KotR in the first place was a reward enough for me with all that Chocobo breeding.

The story was no worse then FFXs. In fact, it gets points for atleast being somewhat original.

 

The soundtrack was awsome too.

FFX-2's soundtrack was awesome? You have a weird taste.

Doubling the 'weird taste' comment. You are the first person who I have EVER heard defend the soundtrack.

 

As for story, FFX at least had cinimatic liniarity strung togeather with cutscenes, FFX2 was an odd mishmash of sidequests with a 'main plot' that felt pretty tacked on and pointless.

Yes and who in their right mind wouldn't like playing a bunch of girls, changing outfits to outwit another fashiongirl and playing dressup 50 times an hour?

but it paled in comparison to FFVII which is one of my favorites RPGs of all time.

 

 

FFVII Sucked!

Maybe it does compared to previous FF titles however it is still much better then the FFs that followed and it basically made what the PS1 is today.

I thought IX was better than VII but I'll agree with you that it did make the PlayStation what it is today. I also think that the majority of gamers who say that FFVII was the best in the series never played the FF games prior to it or they did at some point but FFVII was their first. I don't have a problem with it....I think FFVII helped the series tremendously as far as popularity goes.

I really enjoyed FF9 the first time I played it. But not so the second time, which is the complete opposite with FF8. Hated it the first time, loved it the second. Go figure. FFX... WAY to linear, kind of boring and the worst voice acting.

[Setzer]

Agreed!

 

I hate RPG's that make you stick to one path throughout the whole game. It basically takes you by the hand and walks you to the end. I like having the freedom to explore the game world and figure stuff out on my own. Some linearity is ok but too much of it ruins the fun, imo.

"it basically made what the PS1 is today."

 

Aha! You admit that FF7 was so crpapy that it killed the PS since it made the PS1 what it is today.. and, last I checked, the PS1 is dead.

 

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

So is the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. By your "logic" anyway.

 

 

Oh and also, I can spell "crappy" just fine thank you.

[Haitoku]

As in FF4 JPN?

 

I agree. It's my favorite, but I know it's only because of the nostalgia factor.

Well, I'm not saying the game is all that great. Only that it was a vast improvement over FFX in my opinion.

 

As for the music comment, so what If I liked it? It's nice to see something other then pure symphonic tracks in an RPG.

I bought a PS1 WITH and FOR FF7. Cost me like 400$can. Never regretted it. I played the s*** out of that game. And many others.
