I won't be buying/playing it for a while. Got too much school shit to do and if I start playing it, I won't stop most likely. Getting good ratings. Apparently very linear for a good portion of the beginning. Graphically, looks amazing.
GoW next week, too!
[Mar 7,2010 7:02pm - arilliusbm ""]
Nope.
[Mar 7,2010 7:03pm - ZenErik ""]
I pre-ordered, but I'm expecting it to be as disappointing as FFXII. Fun battle system with a completely forgettable story. That was FFXII to me.
[Mar 7,2010 7:07pm - blessed offal ""]
never played FF games exept the SNES ones. all i know is the commercials for this game are ridiculously annoying.
[Mar 7,2010 7:07pm - Martins ""]
Ya the main plot to XII was pretty lame but as a GAME it absolutely ruled.
I've heard that XIII's story is contrived but that the you get attached to the characters easily.

Martins: Another Square Enix game, The World Ends With You is similar to XII in the same way. Half decent story with awful dialog but probably the most addictive JRPG battle system I've ever played.

it looks like they killed the FF franchise and made a girl powered kareoke game out of it.

Ya, I have that game in the drawer of the desk I'm sitting at. Haven't played it yet because I'm still playing FFXII: Revenant Wings. First tactical RPG I've ever played. Unless you count the war sequences in Suikoden games.
[Mar 7,2010 7:45pm - cock mongler ""]
they'll never top ff x-2

FAIL.... IMO
I loved FFX. Blah blah blah
FFVII wasn't as awesome the second time I played it.
FFVIII had the same reaction as FFVII.
[Mar 7,2010 7:47pm - ZenErik ""]
Suikoden II is one of the best games I ever played.
[Mar 7,2010 7:48pm - Martins ""]
Actually, I've only played IV and V. Both of which weren't very good after the first half. III's been on my list for a long time.

classic.
i played through ff7 like 7 times when i was 12 and 13. looking back, i don't regret it. played it differently everytime. my last time through was my "do it all, max it all out" run. my main materia was all maxed, i had all the master materia, killed the weapons, got every final limit break, got everyone to max level, gold chocobos... everything.
ff8 wasnt nearly as good and i never beat it despite being on the last disc right before the last boss bottle. my disc got smashed. never played it again. i played triple triad online a lot though after.
ff6 is the best. 5 was neat. never played 4. or 2, or 1.
never played ff9. it looked really gay.
ff10 was... spectacular sort of. never ended up beating that one because i got tired of it.
ff12 was pretty neat and i got about 14 hours in and got really tired of it.
im assuming 13 is going to be the same way.
and if anyone wants to say that i have ADD issues... i put like 20 hours on chrono trigger, my first time actually playing it ever, in like 4 days back in november. it's not me, it's just the quality of game.

XII for me was like, oh so that was the last boss? I didn't use any guides or do any power leveling, but I still beat the final boss on my first try without it taking a long time. Top that off with the forgettable story, and I can't remember anything about that game except the main character being named Vaan.

Yeah the last boss was a let down. I spent the majority of the game doing side-quests and only went and did the story when I felt like watching a nasty-ass cutscene.

meh......i've been trying to play through FFVII for years. it's great but i keep losing interest and other games keep coming out. plus it sucks compared to chrono trigger.
[Mar 8,2010 10:26am - arilliusbm ""]
Ark, have you played 9?
[Mar 8,2010 10:30am - Martins ""]
Look, Chrono Trigger was a great game but I seriously don't get how people think it was THE BEST RPG. There are other games that are at least equal to it. But maybe I'm biased because I've easily beaten somewhere between 5-10 times, know all about how it's connected to Chrono Cross/alternate timelines/dimensions and am pretty sick of it lawl.
[Mar 8,2010 10:31am - arktouros ""]
i've played a few hours of 8 and a few hours of 9. I actually thought they were pretty good, but my copies were stolen by a former pal who is a compulsive liar, thief, and a shitty bass player.
[Mar 8,2010 10:32am - arktouros ""]
i do have Chrono Cross which i've only played an hour of. i plan on beating it sometime in the far future
[Mar 8,2010 10:34am - Martins ""]
If I had to pick a personal favorite RPG, it would be tied between Chrono Cross and FFX. But I'm gay and don't know what I'm talking about. Chrono Cross has my favorite OST of all time, though.

IMO. i can't stomach most JRPGs. CT is just one of those games man... [queue Phillip Anselmo]

Steve? Damn. Don't be harsh on him. He means well. J/k
9 was made to feel like the old ones. Good game, but not as good. I can let you borrow my ff9 game and strategy guide (!) if you want.
Martins, CT is one of the top 5 RPGs of all time. Maybe you don't like because you were a little kid when it came out, and CC was out when you were more
mentally mature. Only saying this because most younger people don't understand or appreciate the signifigance of games released at a time when they weren't an active video gamer.
[Mar 8,2010 10:48am - arilliusbm ""]
Actually, if you can get my Zelda game back from DYA, you can borrow any PS1 rpg you want. Xenogears, vagrant story, front mission 3, wild arms, Legend of the dragoon, etc.
[Mar 8,2010 10:52am - arktouros ""]
haha, thanks man but i have to make my way through VII first. right now i'm running through MGS3 on Extreme and it's a pain in the ASS.
you're right about CT though. I was 10 at the time and that game was my entire fucking world for 2 months, easily still goes on my top 5 list.

I still think it's a great game, don't get me wrong. Just not #1. it would be #3,4, or 5 in that top 5 list for me.

Me neither. I leave mine at home. Had spring break last week. Had planned to play either Bayonetta or the two Assassin's Creed II DLCs but ended up buying Grandia (an old Dreamcast/PS1 RPG) on the PSN and playing that all week. Didn't beat it before the end of break so now I'm left hanging. GREAT game though. Battle system reminds me of Tales of Phantasia for SNES or the original Star Ocean for SNES.

I think Lufia II is one of the most underrated RPGs ever.
[Mar 9,2010 9:30am - arktouros ""]
"FFXIII is ambitious and daring, not to mention gorgeous and energetic. It approaches the concept of "role-playing games" with ruthless pragmatism, lopping off hunks of RPG tradition like a doctor operating on a terminally gangrenous patient. Traditional towns are too difficult to manage in light of the demands of current technology and art design? Whack -- they're gone. Free-roaming exploration too difficult to implement properly? Chop -- there goes the nonlinearity. Micromanaging turn-based combat bogs down the pacing of battles? Snip -- let the AI handle it."
http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3178230
they gave it an A- but the linearity and strictly story,combat,story,combat gamestyle really turns me off. i'll buy it when it's $10.
[Mar 9,2010 9:31am - arktouros ""]
i'd be getting God of War III + Heavy Rain if I had a PS3 anyway
[Mar 9,2010 9:37am - arilliusbm ""]
Xenogrars had one of the best battle systems, stories, and characters. It's a shame they ran out of budget/time/etc. The last part of the game was so rushed.

The Lufia games in general are pretty good. They're remaking of them for DS with a new name. Either that or it's a sequel. I forget.

I was on a GBA rpg stint a while ago. The last one I played was called Riviera. Pretty interesting item-based battle system but the game sucked outside of battle.
[Mar 9,2010 10:13am - Martins ""]
Oh man, just saw that they made Breath of Fire 1 and 2 for GBA. Those are two of my favorite SNES RPGs.

i own a gba and i own my gb games. not a whole lot but i have links awakening dx, oracle of seasons, oracle of ages, sword of mana, final fantasy tactics, final fantasy I&II: dawn of souls. I used to have golden sun but i beat that and traded it in ages ago.
as far as other consoles i beat all the psx/snes games in the past growing up but i don't own those games/consoles anymore so if i want to play them now like when i recently re-beat FFT i used an emulator.

Never understood why everyone loved those games. Always thought they were mediocre, at best.
[Mar 9,2010 10:16am - Martins ""]
Well I generally play them for the stories as well but I figure that it has to have a halfway interesting battle system for me not to get completely bored with it. On the flipside, if the story sucks and the battle system rules, I generally won't want to play it. Case in point: Star Ocean III. What a fucking shitty game.

ZSNES is the best SNES emu
Kega Fusion is the best all in one SEGA emu(master, mega, cd, game gear, 32x)
ePSXe 1.5/1.6/1.7 are the best psx emus. Most people use those 3 versions, all with the same plug-ins, because some games work better with the different builds. For example when I tried to play RE2 on 1.7 the sound was all fucked up but when I loaded it in 1.6(same plug-ins and video settings) it worked beautifully.

Yes. Take offense.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind owning physical copies of all the SNES games I loved. And an SNES, of course.

My emulation knowledge is about 5 years outdated.
its still not 100%. a lot of games can be played perfectly... some still have little quirks that don't come through the emulation process too well but don't really mess up overall gameplay. some just suck. it depends on the game. Legend of Dragoon for instance... pretty solid. Destruction Derby 2? sort of fail. no music, which is like the best part. not to mention slow down like whoa and my comp is easily way more powerful than a ps1 was.

I'm about a hour into and it kind of SUCKS!
There's a save every 2 minutes and you only control one person in battle. You only have to hit the X button a couple times and the battle is over.

I just got this yesterday. So far it's okay, but not what I consider a FF game at all. Combat is simplified, everything so far IS completely linear, and half the characters so far are annoying as FUCK.
But I gotta ask what's up with the Japanese racism? I mean, a BLACK GUY who hides a CHICKEN in his AFRO? That's racist, man.

Oh man, this guy annoys me. He does a little gay dance at the end of battles, and there's the damned chicken living in his hair. What a douche. At least you don't have to play AS him.
The story is pretty good so far, but I admit I can only follow some of it. Not sure how much will eventually be explained, and how much is me just being too stupid to get it. I had the same issue with both FF movies, but ironically I followed FF7 and FF8 with no problems.

Started playing Tactics but it's so god damn slow-moving.
[Aug 16,2010 10:52am - arktouros ""]
BlownUpJamPad said:Its Final Fanatsy Lite.
I agree. This game is terrible. It makes you run on a fixed path with cinematic interludes that have no dialog worth paying attention to ("Moms are tough"), convoluted story that I had to piece together from reading the chapter summaries, and beautiful real-time cinematics of the LAMEST FF characters ever, which is quite an achievement considering the FF character history.
I played it for a couple hours or so and it seems like a demo of a new Final Fantasy battle system, which isn't terrible, just boring as hell. I loved what I played of FF 7, 8, and 9, but this game is just too linear to be called Final Fantasy. Maybe I should play it more?
[Aug 16,2010 10:52am - arilliusbm ""]
That's because it's a tactical game.

XIII rules for the duration of Chapter 11.
I understand that FFT is tactical and it's an old game. I have no problem with that. Maybe it's because I just started and nothing interesting is happening yet. I'll give it another shot tonight.

Have you ever played the original Wild Arms or Wild Arms II?
Also, If you have a chance, play Golden Sun I&2 for GBA. And if FFT is too slow for you ( game gets really fucking hard) try some easier Tactical games like Ogre Tactics for SNES, Shining Force I&2 for Genesis, or the two Fire Emblem games that came out in America on GBA (highly recommended).
