Yes. Anyway, also what about Xenosaga series?

Well I liked the Armored Core series. Build yourself a nifty robot and go on missions with it.



Oh and James, I'm sorry I upset you. It's just that you've turned into a kapn/SSA hybrid all of a sudden, and I thought it was amusing. Either someone likes a game, or they don't. There's nothing to get, with or without quotes. Different strokes, and whathaveyou.

Besides, we're talking about an RPG series, here. They focus more on story than other gameplay elements like combat. I mean, if you can't pass a particular FF battle, you can just level up until you do. If you don't like the story in a FF game, why bother with the game itself?

James, I finished all these games, and whereas I didn't start to feel like a masochist until up to 8, I don't think there's something to 'get' at all. Also, I suspect I enjoyed 6 more because I was I think, 14 at the time? than because it's seriously a great game. The ideas were just fresh then. Now, they're not. The gameplay's more of the same, the characters superficial and the total plot and character development rivals a particularily adventurous episode of Friends. If you're a fag that cried when Sepiroth killed Tifa then I can see how you might think the FF series are OMG THE BEST SERIES OF GAMES EVER INVOLVING OMG I GET THESE GAMES but for anyone with half a brain the ff series are some of the most bland console rpgs by square.

Ah, the obligatory "Helms jumps across the forums looking for other areas to harass his target" method.

If you read anything I said, you would have noted that I did say they're not without their faults. But they didn't get all the way up to 12 (with numerous spin-offs) because they're "not worth playing."

Keep your aggression focused in one thread and stay there, like the caged animal you deserved to be treated as.

I myself find the spinoffs better than the actual series. FF Tactics? Love it, because it is different. Kingdom Hearts? Great game, if only because it is such an original idea executed almost perfectly. Final Fantasy? Been there, done that.

every thread must be about final fantasy :O

If it was Tifa that Sephiroth had killed, I might have cared about it ;<

FF1 was tedious and irritating, even moreso than the original Dragon Warrior. 2 I played for maybe 10 minutes before I realized it was the same game. 3 as well. 4 I have lots of good memories for, but upon a replay, I find it boring and stupid. 5 I liked, though didn't beat because it started getting monotonous. I tried to get back into FF6 a few years ago and it was just mind-numbingly dull. I seriously hate FF7. 8 was a little better because I could actually relate to maybe 12% of one of the characters, but it was really way too boring. 9 was probably the best I've played in recent memory, but nothing really special. 10 was boring, though I think they did a good job on the ending. 10-2 actually looks like a lot of fun, but I've already seen someone beat it so I don't wanna play it now. ;<

I also tried the old SNES Mario Kart recently because I've been saying that none of the new ones can compare to it, and upon playing it again found out that it sucks.

Aeris.

I enjoyed Ace Combat 4. But then again, I love the majority of flight combat sims.

Like has been said it was Aeris, and I was pretty fucked on acid at the time, but yeah, I cried, and I'm not ashamed.

Just what exactly is the advantage of buying that, other than smaller size? What does it offer that the original doesn't?

The first ps2s are kinda known for breaking really easy. fan problems, i hurd that playing dvds in them jacks the lazer, and what not. the new "PStwo" will fix all the problems, plus its smaller. people are kinda wondering how the hard drive thing will fit in to it, but i guess we will see...

The Xenon (Xbox2) won't have a hard drive cuz billy boy doesn't like people hacking it

what the fuck are you talking about?

[Helm]

What the gay? I don't even think you as I target, James. We're discussing the FF series and I'm just saying that evethough I'm very much aware of the history of them and I've played most installments, that doesn't stop them from being very very mediocre at best in my oppinion. And that they've reached number 12 I attibute to the fact that bored pre-teens worldwide somehow relate to these cheezy love-stories in them. It's no wonder people think FF7 is omg the best evah and FF7 was the first of the series with a major love thing going on. To be seen on every FF game thereafter, also.

And ziggy... fag.

[ziggytrix]

FAGGY, maybe, but not a FAG.

[Father §p@z]

I feel sorry for all the people who bought a Gaystation2, mainly because, aside from FF10- What is it now, 12?, it really doesn't have very many good games

ok
