It'll never die. It's one of the oldest franchises that's still on top of the game.

FFXIII will blow us away. It will be the best game ever. After FFXII I regained all hope in FF.

FINAL FANTASY XIII DIES

final fantasy 12 was great. maybe people needed gayer characters and a focus on fathead 12 year olds saving the world but i was happy with basch, balthier, and fran. then i pretended vaan and penelo were older, barely talked, and were background noise. the princess was a douchebag but they all are so it was ok. the plot was better than other ff12s but the script was arguably the best, and if you didn't like the gambit system you could turn it off so the point is moot.

comparing or even saying ffx-2 was better is like saying you like rpg barbie because that's all it was. as far as i'm concerned it was the godfather 3 of the final fantasy series and never existed.

gambit system turned off was WORK. Do that fight against the dragon that put on 80 bajillion status effects. Youre on crack!

Gambit system is my most hated fucking system in gaming ever. Ruined what could have been an awesome FF game.

X is awesome, fuck you guys.

gambit system was brain-dead easy, and it didn't take much time at all to get a decent configuration going.

and fuck people who keep comparing ffx-2 to girlie shit. i seriously don't think the game would get as much hate if you played as a group of guys. IT'S THE SAME DAMN SYSTEM AS FFV BUT BETTER JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE

WHY should I PROGRAM THE BATTTLESYSTEM FOR SQUARE ?!?! YOU PEOPLE ARE FUCKING distinguished mentally-challenged

Powerslave · « **Reply #25 on:** May 29, 2008, 11:50:19 AM »

Final Fantasy isn't about combat. Nor about shitty storylines or stupid characters. You finally get it why so many people hate that fucking distinguished mentally-challenged shitty FFX-2 game?

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #26 on:** May 29, 2008, 11:51:40 AM »

If it's not about any of those things, what the fuck is Final Fantasy about?

No, I'm sorry, it's about the battle system mate. And X (along with X-2) had awesome battle systems.

FFX-2 is solely about battles. And battles suck for the most part. I play my RPG's (and especially FF's) for the atmosphere, exploration and storyline. Sadly neither of the PS2 FF's had this as much as the PS1 FF's had. But FF12 is awesome though. I have to pick it up again after I stopped playing it for no reason. I'm at that village south of the Gaiazashasffffffff plains or something (the one where you must charge the sunstone IIRC).

I miss the fantasy part of FF. Far too much sci-fi for my liking nowadays. That's probably why I enjoyed FFXI so much.

I have to agree with that. I loved the battle systems in those games. I'm a sucker for turn-based games anyway.

And turn-based battle systems are so slow nowadays. Blue Dragon and Lost Planet really lose points on that. FFX and especially FFX-2 are pretty fast paced. That's so important.

perhaps you should just stick to exciting 8-hour raids in shit fest mmorpgs where the computer does everything for you, maf

Go play your Tekken and DMC games then.

you say that as if battles are the most important aspect of Final Fantasy games.

the stories are fine for the first 30 hours of the game, but the gameplay is what keeps me around for the next 50+

I'm probably overselling the issue in the case of XII too given the technologically advanced empire was nothing new.

So? That's beside the point. You initially implied that FF shouldnt be played for the storyline and exploration, because apparently, only girls do so

Positive Touch · « **Reply #42 on:** May 29, 2008, 12:34:49 PM »

i'm still saying that battles are the most important part of the game to me, because otherwise i would stop playing when i finished the story

And no one even comments on the awesome box art! WTF

For what it's worth, all three of the FFs for PS2 (FFX, X-2, and XII) were spectacular games that were well worth playing through to the end.
