1) Problemchild2004, change your signature image NOW. It's at least 10x the limit size.
2) Final Fantasy games own.

FFXII will be great. It's gonna have a good battle system, even better graphics than ffx, and of course the story will own. I can't wait for another RPG to play. Right now I am working my way through Star Ocean 3, I have been playing it for ~28 hours. Once I got it I played for 6 hours then WoW stress came so I didn't play for 10 days. When it ended, I started back up.

i wasn't sure where to post so i did it anyways ei the comment of asking?


i hope its not all realtime battle though because thats gay i just bought star ocean and its all real time and it sucks playing it that way

Star Ocean has its own style, you just might be too used to the ATB system.

Whaddya mean FFXII is going to have a "good battle system"? The battle system will probably (and hopefully) remain the same, otherwise it wouldn't be a Final Fantasy game. It'd be a crappy FFX-2 clone.

I was reading 8 Easy Bits to Making a Sprite Comic (www.8easybits.tk) and they were prodding fun at FF Fans, not that I mind. Apparently, if one is a FF Fan, then one will buy any game with the FF label. Hell, Square-Enix could make a game called Final Fantasy Pong and it'd sell millions. I can just imagine the ads...

Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but does it seem as though Square is now making crappier games because it's now known as Square-Enix? Personally, I loved the old Squaresoft. All Square-Enix has really done is FFX-2, and that game sucks. It just sucks.

the battle system has yet to ever remain the same. theres always some slight changes, and X-2 wasnt much differnent, other than it was more active. If you put it on wait, it was just like every other FF, save I, II, III and X

i read in a mag that the atb system is no longer and its all going to be real time battles.

im hoping that it wasnt true but i dont think the mag was lying
the whole idea of the real time thing sucks really bad i know that star ahs had its own thing but enix had made the worst games so far ei.. drakengaurd was sweet untill and hour or so into it because tis just the same thing over and over.
they are trying to change it but i the change in my opinion sucks and i think that changing all games to real time is going to decrease their sales and reputation for rpgs..

i mean even if im still going to buy the game because ina way "i have to" but i have w whole new perspective about enix and their producing

This is just me, but I think that the battle systems in FF7 and FF8 were the best. 9 was okay, but it lacked alot and 10 just confused the heck out of me. :hbut

The battle system sucks in all FF games, except for T and TA. SO's route is the way to go, its the most realistic at least.

If 10's battle system was confusing you should probably finish the second grade before playing another FF, because that was by far the most simplistic and abusive battle system of them all.

I look forward to FFXII, I intend to buy it over winter break and play it as much as possible.
I myself am a big fan of the series, and I most loves FFVII, and FFTactics. I fail to see how liking FFVII over all others makes someone a fanboy, it was just put together brilliantly, and it represented a huge leap in graphics and gaming for its time.

 

[sp1d3r]

ffvii is by far the best final fantasy game and, in my opnion ,the best rpg so far.
im not too big a fan of the new real time battles but ill have to deal with it

ffX wasnt difficult to play battles wise but i think the kid might be talking about the sphere grid... that was a little weird but its easy and fast to learn

SO 3 is a sweet game though..

Please leave, fanboy.

eat shit thats what the thread is for

I would give it a chance. The only ones I really liked was 8 and 9...I tried 7 but I hated how long it took for the storyline to be anything more than just stupid...

Same with me. I played for seven hours or so and was bored....Then the story finally started picking up, but I got stuck on this one part and haven't played since :/

 

[jd-inflames]

Oh well, I liked the battle mode of 8 a lot better and I liked the story of 9 a lot better...screw 7

 

[Shadow1psc2k]

I just got FF7UE, so I'm going to enjoy it yet again.

 

[Andrew]

A little OT, but Square Enix has announced a sequel to ff7 that is an MMORPG. At least I think it is an rpg..

 

[Shadow1psc2k]

Link? some kind of proof? There is Advent Children, a sequel movie and FF7: Before Crisis, a prequel that will only be available in japan. But i have heard nothing of an actual game sequel.
