Rikku was the cutest character ever... :love:

But that didn't help the unbelievably sickening sequences of FFX-2.

"Yay!"

So many of you people haven't played ffvii, that's like blasphemy.

I prefer the classic ones from SNES, specially after reading the following things about FF XII:

First one featured review that points the decadence of these series:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/review/R106503.html

Now some of the rest:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/review/R110013.html

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/review/R107410.html

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/review/R110314.html

After that I'm glad I never played anything after FF VI(Final Fantasy III in US)

What is the point about FF XII? Here it is:

MWAMWAMWAMWAMWA!

Just started playing ffx after all this time  :sweatdrop:
but hey...

Must finish ffx before ffxii comes out - *runs off to play obsessively for several hours*

Ahh well, can't wait for it to come out, just don't want to be addicted to 2 games at once :D

That's funny, because almost every gaming magazine around the world has rewarded Final Fantasy XII with at least 90%, some hailing it as one of the best games on the PS2.

This includes:
The Official Playstation Magazine (UK and US) (100%)
GameSpy (100%)
Play Magazine (100%)
EuroGamer (100%)
IGN (95%)

(Source: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/finalfantasyxii)


Which I'm inclined to take more seriously than some inexperienced weenies at gamesFaq :P

What I mean is that lately FF games lost part of their "spirit", the more modern ones lack something that existed the classics like FF VI and FF VII.

That's true, but they're still really good games. Better than what those reviews made it out to be.


I dunno, it's real hard to create a completely different world and set of characters that are as good or better as the rest, time and time again. Most people struggle to come up with new ideas, even when all they need to change is the plot. Squaresoft consistently change everything, and still manage to be one of the best series ever.

Tidus rocks my world...

Rikku was just... bleh. Predictably cute and innocent...
Lulu was way hotter...


I keep meaning to pick up XII... Too lazy...

Found this on Youtube:
Final fantasy XIII

hehe :D
(now to wait for the ps3 to actually come out and then for it to drop in price sufficiantly enough for me to be able to afford it. Mind you, by the time this game is actually released, a ps4 will probably be on the horizon)
