General Gaming / Re: Why do you still play games?

I don't really get to play video games much anymore.

1. They are time consuming, and as of right now I don't have time to be consumed.
2. Games are too pricey, and I lack money.
3. For the new generations of consoles, I thought they would be making incredible games. Instead, all I ever see are "Shoot em up" games. Which I'm not into. The games that I am into, just go back to my first two points.

General Gaming / Re: Square Enix expects FF13 to revive Japanese console market

Pale, word of advice, don't stick up for any FF game after VII and you'll be just fine.
 
Just don't do that around the hardcorez of Final Fantasy fan brats.

Yeah, I guess everyone should ignore the best FF of the series.....FFX.

Finally...someone else who agrees with me on FF X.      Yuna's story easily made up for the game's shortcomings (first half Tidus and Blitzball), IMO.

Well, in my opinion there wasn't a flaw in the game. The battle system was fun, the story was the most unique in the series in my opinion, and the characters were the most memorable since Final Fantasy VII. I really don't know how any Final Fantasy fan could not put this in their top 5 Final Fantasy list.

General Gaming / Re: Final Fantasy XII sucks...

Sorry for bumping up this thread, but I wanted to put some input in on this game since Final Fantasy XIII is about to be released.

I don't think many people would have had many problems with the battle system if it didn't happen so abruptly. I mean the last official Final Fantasy that was made in my mind was Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X had the old school battle system to it, with a few minor changes (controlling of summons, and switching characters during battle). Then Final Fantasy XII comes out of nowhere and hits you with their newly designed battle format, which yes is seriously flawed when you break it down. Now, I have no problem with seeing the enemies, cause one of my favorite games of all time (Chrono Cross) did it very well, but allowing your players to move around while fighting and not sending you to a new battle screen is what I have a problem with. To me it took away the very essence of what made Final Fantasy what it was. Did they do it because Real Time MMORPG is so popular now? Probably, but to me Final Fantasy has become like every other game out there now.


Now onto the story line, all I have to say about it is.......why did they choose Star Wars to influence the game? The judges looked like a bunch of Darth Vadars, and they even got an annoying lead character like Luke Skywalker.
