FFVII for PS4!?Follow

It's peer pressure to love FF7.

FF9 is the best game in the series for me. In terms of characters, the world, the story, the atmosphere. It was so unique. There's not a weak spot in that game.

XI was my first MMO but it was not my first virtual world. That said, the only other virtual world from the early places I played around in that could even hold a candle to the XI community was Dreamscape.

Most of the early worlds were glorified graphical chat rooms, and Dreamscape was barely a notch above that - but the community was AMAZING. I was a GM type there for two years, too. It was only when EQ came out that the concept of a static virtual world without any interaction died out, and DS went into major decline. That said, we modded the heck out of Dreamscape using third party tools, and I still fondly remember hijacking a Bingo game to run a weekly game of Balderdash online. Good times.

I feel X-2 get's a lot of unneeded hate. It suffers from what a lot of other game series suffer from when one installment Scales back the the subject matters in this case a story about defeating a plague that's been around for eons to a High Summoner finding herself after loosing the man she loved and living a world she never even dreamed she see after defeating sin.

The game was split into episodic points of attention which was needed on a smaller scaled game. Since her development as character and person is being highlighted in smaller moments then huge plot driven set pieces. The game feels like a TV show instead of a Movie which felt inherently not the same from every other Final Fantasy. Which is why I think even to this day where the "**** tease presentation" is laughable compared to how women are dressed in these days. On top of which I can honestly say it's one of the only FFs and one of the rare few games that is designed from a female perspective. If you look past the Yuna meets sailor moon with Charlie's Angel's Fudge Sundae you see a story line in which any other context would be a "Chick flick/show." Which I think at it's core is why the game failed to appeal. The women who would of enjoyed it got turned off by the **** tease, the men who would of enjoyed that got turned off but what seemed was an epic lack of story just filled with Yuna "wandering around being ineffectual and whiny."(Clearly a paraphrase lol)

Anyways I love it because it's one of the few RPGs where the people involved actually seemed to be enjoying themselves and having a more human like awe to what they are doing.. Accomplishing and experiencing. Also because there isn't a since of destiny or that Yuna is somehow special in this one.. Just someone Deciding to do the right thing when it counted. Finally because the game play is easily my favorite in the series.

Also between 7 8 and 9 I think VIII deserves it the most.. Not for the reason it's my favorite, for the fact I have been informed the International release of it, the dialogue was extremely cut down. Whole conversations nurtured because translating it to English would of made the game 5 discs long instead of 4.

The battle system was kind of fun, but the story was terrible. Wish they had just left FFX alone.

Nah, he confirmed recently (like 2ish years ago) that the only time they considered X-3 was if there were Fan Demand and based on the reception and sales of X/X-2 HD as that project was outsourced so it wouldn't really be "a problem to do" if they can come up with a good story. That rumor was mostly just fans wanting more Rikku at the time.

Whoever they outsourced X/X-2 HD over to did a smash up job. It's been a joy to play it with FFXI modded levels of graphics. I can actually SEE the treasure chests on the ground this time! As well as a hundred details I was never able to notice before on the old CRT during my first two play throughs. The menus are slick and clean, but still familiar. And I think I spent an hour just wading through the Sphere Grid, planning out where I wanted to take each character and what it would cost me to get there.
