My god. This might be the best one yet.

Beautiful game.
Huge world.
Great dungeons.
Great characters.
Political intrigue and real tension as opposed to bullshit 'chosen one saves teh world' plot.
Combat rules, and there are so many ways you can play it.

The lead characters are still very ghey, metro and too pretty, but they've been this way since FFVII, I doubt it's going to change in such a vainglorious world.

PS2 might just win the next generation console war.

Jon has this waiting for him at EB. He's all boner-ridden about it.

there are more final fantasy games than kiss farewell tours, and neither makes any sense

I can't wait for the DS version... it's like a mini-kiss farewell tour.

no, i think thats the PSP version, "pretty short people"

I'm a ways in now and it's just fucking excellent. This game makes plenty of sense. Obviously being a literate human being is required.



toggletoggle post by Cecchini   at Nov 4,2006 10:51pm
this game is amazing. a lot of the characters are very "a new hope" like which is cool.



toggletoggle post by Nash nli at Nov 4,2006 10:53pm
How does it compare to the others? I haven't enjoyed any of the FF games since FF9.



toggletoggle post by Cecchini   at Nov 5,2006 6:29pm
the best since the FF IV VI and VII days without a doubt.

DS VERSION!!! looks like I will feel bad for returning that ds so long ago, just like I feel bad now because of children of mana.

all my friends rub it in my face too.

I don't even own a PS2, so I still haven't even played FFX, but this looks like it will rule. (I'm still working on Skies of Arcadia, which is Dreamcast-speak for Final Fantasy: Flying Pirates.)



toggletoggle post by Cecchini   at Nov 5,2006 9:25pm
the battle system is actually pretty cool. think of it as a more organized tales of symphonia type battle system. its essentially real time and really well done.



toggletoggle post by xanonymousx at Nov 5,2006 10:09pm
oh that sounds interesting

skies of arcadia was an interesting game

No, you missed the joke. Basically I was musing about how much attention is placed on these next gen games with their fancier graphics and processor power when insanely awesome games are still releasing on the current (or last) gen consoles.



toggletoggle post by xanonymousx at Nov 5,2006 10:46pm
true some of these games [like konami and square] they are putting out are amazing look at all the final fanasty and metal gears

Children of Mana, Megaman ZX, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow and Portait of Ruin, SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters DS, Elite Beat Agents, Final Fantasy III, and so on... i mean... how can you look at those games and NOT feel like you're missing out on something great?

by the way... the DS final fantasy is a remake of III.... the ACTUAL 3rd game... not the american III (which is the 6th one in japland).



toggletoggle post by DrinkHardThrashHard  at Nov 6,2006 6:31am
Right, it's a remake of Final Fantasy III.

So many great games this winter, as usual in the winter. And I'm still playing Rocket Slime Adventures for pete's sake.

Just got Neverwinter Nights 2 and some others.

NWN 1 was giving me serious issues trying to host a multiplayer game, last night.



toggletoggle post by DrinkHardThrashHard  at Nov 6,2006 8:31am
I didn't care much for the original game, I got the Diamond edition. I'd rather just play D&D.



toggletoggle post by thegreatspaldino   at Nov 15,2006 1:10am
just picked this up two days and i saved after delivering the sword of order... this game is bad ass and even if it is kind of easy at times... it can be challenging. this was the first time i was kind of "scared" of dying because i hadn't saved in a while and i had 2 zombies, 2 flans, and a bomb chasing after me and my two healers had no mp and i already had one dead guy and the other 3 guys had like 70 hp tops. i was fleeing and in this game... when you "run", the monsters chase after you for as long as they can. i was saying out loud "shit shit shit shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit!" then i left that map and was safe. it was fucking close.

my favorite monster is the Rogue Tomato. that thing was pissed.



toggletoggle post by DrinkHardThrashHard  at Nov 15,2006 6:14am
It can definitely be challenging without Libra to let you know which of those monsters are sick fucks the first few times you're out there.

The Rogue Tomato was sick.



toggletoggle post by Cecchini   at Nov 15,2006 8:01am
i'm about 20 hours in and let me tell you, the game lures you into a false sense of security with how easy you think it is.........



toggletoggle post by eddie(nli) at Nov 15,2006 11:35am
i love this game, although i already found two typos, wtf? both times they used "what" instead of "that". I'm like 26 hours into it.

no, but i got all the espers. And boy they are completely useless... cool tho




toggletoggle post by Cecchini   at Dec 3,2006 10:43pm
yea the espers are completely useless when you got all the mist chains going.


i'm on the second to last dungeon in the game. what was your total time and what did you have everyone level'd up to roughly? without spoiling nothing of course.



toggletoggle post by eddie  at Dec 3,2006 11:02pm
around 80 hours - but i'm in the habbit of just leaving the game on , so that's not really accurate. average level was around 52

what dungeon is that, the tower?

yea i am about to enter the tower/light house.



toggletoggle post by Cecchini   at Dec 21,2006 9:09pm
it took me a long ass time, but i finally beat ffxii... the last part of the game wasnt all that hard besides 1 or 2 bosses in the 100 level tower.

best part was that only vaan was level 48, everybody else was level 40 and i didnt have much trouble with vayne and the others.



toggletoggle post by arktouros at Oct 3,2011 8:31am
I thought I was the only one that liked this one. I lopped a good chunk off this yesterday. Way better than FFX so far. I like how exploration is a priority, something I thought they dropped the ball on after IX.



toggletoggle post by arilliusbm  at Oct 3,2011 8:54am
They dropped the ball after the Square/Enix merger. :P



toggletoggle post by arktouros at Oct 3,2011 9:01am
Well they made some pretty shitty games before that too. This one is sincerely pretty awesome. I wanted to play FF, but didn't feel like doing random battles.
