materia system > allI like the Esper system in VI much better
telling anyone to play FFVII nowadays is simply cruel
I'm not sure why people keep linking to 1up articles; they are pretty much considered as a joke no? At least they have a pretty website!
So...FF7 is shit but still worth it?
lolwut
FF12 started out fucking great and the story was actually interesting (in a good way) for once but somewhere towards the sand sea the game felt like a book where someone ripped out everyother chapter to the point where I totally lost interest towards the end. There's seems to be enormous chunks of the game torn out without any real explanation. FF12 felt like Square attempting to bite off more than they can chew.
And until Nomura and Gackt split up, you could expect him to be shoehorned into every FF7 game - i wouldn't die of shock if he replaced Barrat in any remake...

"Development for Final Fantasy XII began in 2001.[73] Final Fantasy Tactics creator Yasumi Matsuno, originally announced as producer and director, was forced to bow out of both roles midway through the creation of Final Fantasy XII due to health concerns"

that could be it.
but the combat was farrrrrr too slow-paced, with really long attack/spell animations, and I hated how it seemed like it would take a while after you inputted a move, for your character to actually execute it.
what a taco.
vii's story is garbage, especially the the american version's translation. viii stomps on it in every way possible.
but viii's isn't! :'(what a taco.

But he admitted FFVII's story is garbage.
None of the Final Fantasy games have decent stories. Most Japanese RPGs are pretty weak in the story department.
Most jrpgs have terrible pacing and the characters are just animu crap.

Most WRPGs have terrible pacing and the characters are D&D stereotypes or floating skulls and shit. See, generalizations can be fun! (I also take it you haven't played many JRPGs outside the FF series)
Most WRPGs ARE crap, its just people are so floored by being given fucking dialogue choices its kinda silly.
OH SHIT I CAN SAY MEAN STUFF OR KILL THEIR CAT! OMG OMG.
Personally ive had about as much luck with WRPGs are JRPGs which makes them about even in my eyes. Open ended CHOOSAN games can be just as boring as the stuff Square cranks out.
