Yes the series has been going slowly downhill since FF7. The newer games have done some interesting things but overall relative quality has declined since the SNES days. Sure the graphics have gotten better, but so what when it's all about FMV and cruddy and convoluted storylines centered on very thin philisophical ground.
Well Xycos, I have to go with Voltaire on this one. I don't agree but I respect your opinion. I made this because I was so sick and tired of seeing what I felt was something given more credit than it's worth. Actually I do have humor and the the music is pretty kick ass. Thank you for giving me the reason for your vote. I appreciate it.
It's not really a valid criticism when you purposefully go out of your way to call people playing the game, and as such without input into the game's content, a bunch of "pansy's", "queers" and "mindless otaku". This isn't a valid arguement, it's just a reason to hate on a group of people. Ergo you fail. Goodbye.
+5 for FF Truth! -1 for leaving out FF: Tactics. +1 for leaving out FF: Crystal Chronicles (who needs that lame-ass $100 controller (at the time of release) game. The SNES games are all excellent. Buy a DS or GBA SP and buy all the Nintendo/SNES versions for the GBA. You WON'T be disappointed. FF5 & 6 FTW!
7 and 8 had charismatic lead characters, but hopelessly confusing plots. 9 and 10 had androgynous pansy lead characters, and simliarly poor plots. 12 looks like an abomination of all of the poor elements of above. The line must be drawn HEAH!! Boycott SquEnix until they get their heads out their asses.
MaxxPower> Sorry to see you say goodbye, Maxx because you misunderstood my YTMND where so many others didn’t. I wasn’t calling the people who play the game pansy’s and queers, rather the main characters are who I was insulting. Additionally at the end I made sure to say you “might” be a mindless otaku and underlined it. See how might leaves it open for the people who are neither graphic whores or otakus? I know some of them exist. Kind of looks like you failed there chum. Don’t worry, I forgive you though.
CamTheKitty> I actually don't play Halo, can't stand the idea of a double analogue FPS. I don't own a X Brick 360 or an X Brick original. X Brick is HUEG! Not a big X Brick fan really. But I know you aren't stupid enough to try and label me as any type of fan when you know only of my prejudices and not my biases. Right?
TheAdam> The game has become formulaic, male character looks like female, two females; one brunette and the other misc. hair color, fight over him, the questioning of reality and no longer suprising turn of events that show us the main character's concept of identity was false. I just angered it up for a chuckle. With the anger removed, what I said is a fact.
Handshakes and Kefkaesque> I didn't really touch on the games before 7 because the most experiene I've had with any game before 7 was a few seconds of messing around on an emulator. And Kefka, I will admit that 9 was at least decent but still, like I said, it was more of the same. The character concepts were so much better in anycase. I'd like to say what really helped FFIX was the lack of Nomura.
'The game has become formulaic, male character looks like female, two females; one brunette and the other misc...'
You realize this is not just a trend created by Square right? I'm not a 'hardcore fanboi' but each of those games have features that make them incredible for one reason or another. I honestly hate the story in almost every FF game, however, the music and visuals never fail to impress me.
P.S. - Sephiroth is f*cking gay.
Qlocdog> The ragging on FFXII is more so part of the "screw you" twist this YTMND has. I can't seriously say the game sucks, but it's a decent prediction when taking into consideration 5 previous games. You only need 3 points to show a trend. I sincerely hope that I am proved wrong with FFXII. I don't expect much class from Square though, they sell games based on the FF name alone.
SpinningKick> I love how you close minded folk see in absolutes. I reckon you over looked the part where I said you MIGHT be one of those two things. See, not limiting a FFan to one of those stereotypes. Additionally I haven't played UT in about 6 years. I played the really old version where you could be an alien cow. Good job on making a poor assumption and failing to read carefully.
Fun. Everything you said about XI is true... and yet I still play it for the community. Square and Enix lost all of their integrity by merging. It's like everything bad about their games gets expressed more and everything good is simply forgotten. Not that things weren't going downhill for Square anyway >.>
The ones before 7 aren't that much better. 1 and 3 have nameless characters with virtually no story. (The DS version of 3 is supposed to chance that a bit.) 2 has an overly broken battle system. 4 has characters that keep coming back to life for bullsh*t reasons. 5's story is just awful. (Excellent Gameplay, though) And 6 has Celes being saved by a seagull.
The only thing that makes the pre-PSX gen games supierior to the post-PSX gen games is the fact that the older games offer more challenge in the gameplay department. 3 and 4 are the best in the difficulty department. (3 is practically to a fault, though) 5 is the best in the gameplay department. (a refined Job system that 3 so desperately needed) And 6 is the best in the overall department and in the storyline. (which isn't saying much compared to the rest of the series)
And to clarify the captions under pictures for FFVII-FFX are to cover those four games. Those points apply to all four of those games. In some way or another your character has a false identity, i.e. who they thought they were was not real. You also get a brunette by default. etc. Did I really have to explain that?
"even though FF is way overpopulated that doesn't mean you automatically have to hate it and make up reasons to justify your blind loathing" And Adverb finally says something right for a change. FF haters are just as bad as FF fanboys. And seriously, I found this just to be anti-FF propaganda/sublimal Halo propaganda. It's not my fault taht you're part of the the minority. And ytmnd is not a place for propaganda. The place for all vg discussions...the trash can.
