Yes, X-2's job system is the EXACT SAME THING AS Tactics'. Nothing new at all was brought to the table.
You must be fucking kidding me. Why do I even bother?
i wasn't trying to say that it is the exact same thing,just that there is not anything that makes it different enough to make such a big difference from all the other final fantasies with job system,i mean parrying? i don't even have any idea what you are talking about with parrying
Also, for all of your love for original battles systems, how the hell do you like 7 so much? It is the most boring and standard of all FF battle systems.
if you do it in a way that i feel is interessing enough you'll catch my attention but otherwise i don't really care about battle system,what i really like about jrpg is
and the characters, setting and theme were awesome.
ah yes,this
,that's why i don't give a fuck if kingdom hearts is a button mashy game set in small room but squee like a little girl at the idea of a game that let me fight cinderella lucifer,captain hook and maleficent
this is why i liked FF13,after 9 years in which FF 10-2,FF11,FF12 and all the countless lame spinoff happened,finaly there was a final fantasy that once again gave a fuck to these thing
maybe in another 9 years they can release versus for the PS5
because I will never be that young and dumb again.
oh no no no,even now i still love the game with every ounce of myself,i love midgar with his incomprensible neon light signs full of moon letters,i love the initial dialogue of the game where barret is all like "THINK OF THE PLANET" and cloud is all
i mean look at that screenshot the background it's so detailed,all those cables and neon lights and tubes,it gives so much flavor to the game
i love the part where cloud has to dress as a woman so he can infiltrate a pimp mansion,i love how after you defeat yuffie there is a save point that it's actualy A FUCKING TRAP,i love when you first meet tifa and your option are
they are both so goofy,i love when they have to infiltrate the shinra headquarters and they have to climb this huge wall full of graffiti and start climbing all that junk and fans,i love the part where you have to pick between the stairs and the elevator and if you pick the stairs,the character start complaning for the huge climb that last like 5 minutes
i love how sephiroth get introduced! most game hand you the villain by having him do something villanous like... burn a village and such! but when it comes to sephiroth you got cloud that is all like "OMG IT'S SEPHIROTH" and everybody is all like "who?" and then he goes on this long tale with the whole party going "uh-uh" and then the first thing the game does is throw at you an impossible battle just to show you that you don't want to fuck with sephiroth,it's a great way to introduce the villain into the plot
i love how there is a city that is just a big fucking cannon and it's owned by the most fucking aryan pompous nazi and his troops of super incompetent mooks,i love when they are on the ship and cloud find barret in a sailor suit that looks totaly ridiculous,i love how when cloud meets cait sith,cloud ask him "can you use your fortune teller power to find sephiroth" and cait sith goes like "sure" then he handle cloud a ticket with written on it "your lucky color is blue!" i love the plot twist (not that dumb bitch death! the other one!)
man i could keep this for hours
oh and the music,it's so good,i don't think there isn't a single piece of FFVII music i don't like,every single note is ingrained in my mind
and this is why i don't want a remake,they are going to advent childrenific the shit out of it and advent children is a movie about a guy with a mopey look that keeps watching the ground while looking like the prettiest korean pop star instead of someone who's just got out of a kickass cartoon,advent children is the complete and polar opposite of FFVII,if nomura ever snaps out of it (he did it once when he made TWEWY) goes back to the cloud on the left of the pic and they redraw all the backgrounds in HD then they have my blessing
On the surface (which is about all the farther I'm willing to go with this discussion), it's probably the aesthetic and art direction that keeps people latched onto FF7, but a lot of the argument there applies to FF8, too—more science fiction than fantasy, "whimsy" not central to the design and tone, post-industrial towns, self-serious plot and principal characters.
yes,seriously they could remove the whole "game" out of FF7 and i'd still be the best game ever,and of course i like FF8 scenario too,the part where they assault the beach and there is a motherfucking robo-spider on the loose or the one where the two gardens fight each other and there's squall punching the shit out of people while dangling out of a cable
FF9 is good on that part too,treno! the city where it's always night! *cue piano music*
but it's really not on the same level when you get this idiot with this huge grin instead of !"£$%"$ cid and when the whole scenario turns from "terrorist into techno city" into "guy into some sort of college"
i think FF8 is also when they started to really force their hand with the romance sub plot and that's stupid
i also don't like how FF8 seems to fuck up with so many basic things just for the sake of doing it,monsters? they scale on your level! money? you get it from answering quizzes! spells? now you don't want to cast them anymore! summons? i hope you are good at button mashing!
it's like they never stopped once to ask themself "is this a good idea?"
you know this is somewhat embarassing to say,but i once found this guy doing a FF7 webcomic and i think that somehow it capture the spirit and style of the game even if it tend to be stupid at times so maybe a fellow FF7 fan like quietid can appreciate while the other of you can point and laugh at me (pic are somewhat big)

he's also pretty good at catching some of the good backgrounds
