Jeez Blade......guy made some mistakes on a few facts. Why the hell you getting so worked up about it?

Hasn't the PCG Unown Award thread taught you anything? The Gamer nomination, the Debater nomination, the Whiner nomination...? Come on, Rudy, I know you ain't a slow learner.

I loved the Final Fantasy series till the FF8 disaster, last FF game I ever played in fact.

My favorite was FF VI, mainly because of sentimental reasons as it was one of the first video game RPGs I had played.

You must know that 99.9 % of the RPGs released in Japan never made it over to Europe back then (on Nintendo consoles). I think the first ever that popped up here was FF: Mystic Quest. Even my FF VI was just an import from the US.

FF VI had excellent music, I even bought the soundtrack CDs. The story was nice, it had a decent ending, the fights were challenging but not unfair. All in all a way above average and almost flawless title in my book. And Kefka was awesome!

FF VII was okay though I do not understand the hype about it. The story was totally confusing (mainly due to the horrible translation from English into German). The graphics ranged from really good to horrible. I'm still having nightmares about those huge block hands. The music was very good though it can't compare to VI. It too had memorable moments. All in all a great game but slightly less fun than VI. VII wins my awards for most overrated hero, villain and game.

FF 8 just sucked. Forgettable music, forgettable story, forgettable characters, ridiculous difficulty increase towards the end but awesome graphics.

I've also played through IV and V once but I didn't find them too exciting really. More fun that 8 at any rate but I didn't enjoy that white mage and black mage business with the professions that much.

What, VIII had a ridiculous difficulty level at the end? Impossible, since the enemies level up with you.
EDIT: I'm biased though, cos VIII was my first and therefore my favourite. Plus it has Irvine. And Odinface. And Gilgamesh! <3

I actually had a reply to this when the thread was first made, but then I accidentally pressed ctrl+r instead of t and then I accidentally closed my tabs instead of pressing stop. >< Anyway. Long story short: MAN I'm well looking forward to XIII. And Versus XIII too. But I desperately need a PS3, so until then, I'm more looking forward to Agito, despite the huge lack of info. Mmmm PSP-ness. *drools*

Have you guys seen the latest trailer? They've brought out a dubbed one now, and it seems to have a fair amount of awesome plotness in it. OM NOM NOM. I'll post in a link when I find it again.

I will say though, if they went back to ATB I honestly think they'd lose out on a lot of business. I don't think I'd enjoy it as much as I do on the older games, cos it'd just feel like such a huge step backwards. Plus I have tendencies to zone out while training, and there's nothing like bloody startling battle music to make me shit myself in terror, lol.

I found the subbed (alas) trailer OH FOR AN EMBEDDING FUNCTION *wails*

I remember that I made it to the final boss of the game with my level in the mid 30s, still having the level 2 weapons and armor (I never bothered searching for screws and other junk on remote islands) and barely any decent magic at all. I didn't bother to explore well cause I really hated the game and just wanted to get done with it a.s.a.p.. Anyway, I had to level up a good 15 levels to be finally strong enough to beat her.

Gaming and debating are fine, attacking others is not. And I don't think being a whiner is something you should be proud of.

I've only played FFX and X-2. I liked the characters, the plots where rather interesting and the graphics were great, but the gameplay was quite painful.

Maybe Sie or Keyblader can point out who the new character is.
