May 24, 200619 yr Yet, they're still making Final Fantasy games... Hmm... Mah, them SS guys and their changes. LOL :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have you played any? Start from number I and tell me there isn't drastic change in each game. Edited May 24, 200619 yr by Haitoku
May 24, 200619 yr "Have you played any?" Every single last one, and even many of the side ones. "Start from number I and tell me there isn't drastic change in each game." Not enough outside of better graphics, and a variant combat system. Otehrwise, it's the same basic scenario, and game play. btw, I love Final Fantasy series. I have for a very long time. They're amongst my fvaorite games (most of 'em anyways); but I don't know how one cna post with a striaght face that a series with 12 games in it is a symbol of the company's 'willingness to change'. If that were true, they'd stop making them. Mind you, I don't really want them to as long as the series continue to eb fun. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
May 24, 200619 yr Nice to see NWN2 and Hellgate mentioned. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
May 24, 200619 yr Not enough outside of better graphics, and a variant combat system. Otehrwise, it's the same basic scenario, and game play. Let's be honest now, how much of the gameplay IS the battle system in Final Fantasy games? That being said... Reramping the battle system in each game does seem like a big change, doesn't?
May 24, 200619 yr "That being said... Reramping the battle system in each game does seem like a big change, doesn't? " Yet, the weapons, armour, spells, skills, and character type of special attacks are almost always the same. Heck, they resue the summon types repeatedly. Nothingw rong with that; but the FF games never scream 'change to me!".. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Probably the one constant in all FF games, up until now, is random battles. There have been significant changes in each of the games though, from D&D style magic system to learning abilities from weapons/armor you equipped, to removing the leveling system all together, to gaining magic by drawing it from your enemies, etc. Square managed to add something new with each installment in the series and while they were criticized for some things I give them props for mixing it up.

Look how summons went from just being a prettier spell to actual monsters on screen that fought along side the fighters (FFX/XI). Look at all the changes between games in how spells and special attacks are obtained. Edited May 24, 200619 yr by Haitoku
May 24, 200619 yr According to Volourn no differences were made between Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege2, so give up or end up discussion till infinity (engine re-used...) ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

May 24, 200619 yr Volourn is right. It's understandable why someone might like them, but seriously it is a bit silly to applaud a company for not being afraid to change when they're making the 12th sequel to a series, especially when so many elements of them have been very consistent from game to game.
May 24, 200619 yr I say Bioshock all the way. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
May 24, 200619 yr I just wish I could get my hands on some gameplay videos. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
May 24, 200619 yr It doesn't. Ken Levine has actually said Irrational didn't want to release gameplay videos yet. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

May 25, 200619 yr Hmm, let's see. FFX-2 FFXI FFXI Expansion Pack FFXI Expansion Pack FFXI Expansion Pack FFXI Expansion Pack FFXI Expansion Pack FFVII-2 FFVII Dirge of Cerberus FFVII Crisis Core FFXIII FFXIII VERSUS FFXIII Agito Change is good for you. Milk is better. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Milk is better. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are only 3 FFXI expansion packs and there will probably be no more (as stated by devs). FFX-2 is a sequel, the first of it's kind in the FF series.. . All those FFXIII are DIFFERENT games. First is your typical FF game. Versus is made by the Kingdom Hearts team and is more action oriented and I don't know anything about Agito yet. As for the FFVII stuff, you got me there.
May 25, 200619 yr "FFX-2 is a sequel, the first of it's kind in the FF series.. ." False. Last i checked, there's FF1, FF2, FF3, FF4, FF5,...... FF11, FF12, FF13.. That sure looks like a lot of sequels to me. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
