ill disagree with that. becuase the same gamers who enjoyed FF2 dont like FFX they havent changed, the games have, therefore the games are indeed catered to a different audience otherewise all the old school gamers would still like them. the older games had something these new ones didnt. i would rather think square is just slipping but i think they are just more interested in selling the game than making it good. FF has sold out.TwistedMac said:i beg to differ... that sounds mostly like an "i heard them before they got famous" comment.. personally i think that's just BS.. but maybe that's just me..

Winter said:Where as the older ones, since they couldnt make them look like all that and a bag of grits, had to focus more on story developement, and character developement, which shouldnt surprise you that the characters of yore, while being two dimensional graphically, still had more dimensions than their recent counterparts.
Winter said:Its not just you. The teenies I just mentioned agree with you, so you arent the only one who is wrong.
TwistedMac said:right, disagree with you and i'm automatically wrong, nice to know, next time before i have an opinion i'll check with you to see if i have the right one.
I still call BS. the storylines are as developed as ever, with only a few exceptions (like FF9.. dunno what that was all about...)
Try playing the old games again, you'll see the old memories of a golden age long since passed are subjective as hell.. the games are never as brilliant as we remember them (not to say the games aren't good, hell they're still a good play today, and that says alot about a game.. they're just not in the "fantastic" group anymore)
and don't try to say you're oldschool and therefore know better than me..
(not saying you did, just saw it started to lean that way)
i got an atari 2600jr when it was state of the art, i was programming bouncing balls on my c64 and i had my fair share of l33t warez for the amiga 500.
ofcourse i got a nes when that came out in europe and when my dad pre-ordered my snes for me was one of my happiest days.
I'm not saying the old games were bad.. they were fantastic.. i'm just saying the new games are good too.. and not just in some sort of teeniebopper way. The storylines are brilliant, like a great movie and the characters look better (what, they should be ashamed of that?)
If you think everything beyond 6 sucks, i'm guessing you haven't really played much beyond that..
you can have your opinion, and i'll have mine.. don't fuggin tell me my opinion is wrong, please.
Have you collected all the ennemy's skills from FF7?Gaki said:RPGs these days lack any real challenge, I still havent collected all of the abilities for Gau (and two of the other characters whose names i've forgotten) in FF6 and this is over 6/7 years from the original time FF6 was released.

wakaranai, you might wanna read this thread from the begining.
Arekkusu said:I'd like to say one thing:
I've read that a few hate FF7 for personal reasons but some people(not just here but all over) who say it sucks story and graphic wise has to relize this:
FF7 is a older game.
At the time Square was just starting to transfer to a higher level of gaming aka the Playstation.
At the time period(what around '96-'97 right?) the game was great.
For it's time it rocked.
The story was entertaining, and the graphics were great again for it's time.
People compare it and judge it on game views of today. Yes the graphics blow because they are what? 6-7 years old?
Indeed compared to other RPGs now it may look like garbage, but go back 6-7 years and remember when people bought it for the first time. I remember renting it non-stop because it was a rocking game for it's time and I loved it. Then the word came out for FF8 and I was going crazy. Gotta have gotta have type crazy, but why? Because at the time those games were rocking, and now they are "old school".
What I am saying really is now they may suck yes, but remember back when we didn't have the great amount of graphic/storyline games this is what we had to entertain ourselfs for hours.
Now for FFX and FFX-2..I mean they were "ok" I think. Nice graphics, and the storyline..was eh "ok" again, but FFX I thought could have been longer, and I never really bothered to finish FFX-2..sidequests=over and over=annoying a bit.

I love playing FF11 online.
It's just a way for me to engage with other FF players and get away from my stressful life for a few hours.

FF12 looks like it should be a fun game, but we will have to wait and see.^^
Indeed. It should be about 10 years now, I think.Gaki said:RPGs these days lack any real challenge, I still havent collected all of the abilities for Gau (and two of the other characters whose names i've forgotten) in FF6 and this is over 6/7 years from the original time FF6 was released.

Have you got yet a complete list of the items you can battle for in the arena? Or how about Gogos imitations or Relms sketch attack?
While FF7 was a small revolution graphics-wise at that time, story- and gameplay-wise it clearly went downhill from FF6. This trend continued with FF8, which had even better graphics and even worse story and gameplay. FF9 was somewhat different, and from FFX on, it got a little better again, but not too much.
