ff7 was good.ff8 was pretty good ff9 was a miserable pile of shit I've heard good about 10 but then it's by a guy who's never played any of the other ff's ff has slowly gone further and further down hill. I've abondoned it completely. Everyone knows that metal gear 2 is the best game ever made anyway. IP: Logged |

I got Final Fantasy X (and MGS2) at christmas, but I haven't played it yet because I fear that Jeer may be right. I feel a subtle downward slope coming...As a side note, however, I see it like this: FF7, pretty nifty
FF8, insert penis into mouth and vomit
FF9, tolerable, but see #8 in terms of end boss and overall feeling. But honestly, how can you top Final Fantasy VI (III)? Sure it was SNES, but damn it was great. That's why I got the Anthology for PS. The load transition kinda sucks, but since my SNES bought the farm a few years back, its a good deal. I hear the new way they are handling 'leveling' is great. A bit more fluid and freewilled than before. Should be interesting Honestly though, I've been too busy playing Metal Gear Solid 2 so far to care much about FF yet. I should pop it in sometime tonight or tomorrow though. [This message has been edited by CapnBiggles (edited 12-27-2001).] IP: Logged |

I have been playing 10 on and off now since it came out and I have to say it has revived my confidence in the FF series. FF7 was awesome, great story and just a cool game. I only played four hours into FF8...god damnit, I hate that one. Way too technical if you ask my opinion. I played FF9 through the first cd and lost interest. I was side-tracked by Diablo 2 and I didn't come back. This installment is great. No more mindless leveling....kill monsters, gain lvl...kill monsters, gain lvl...you earn sphere lvls that you can use to navigate a gigantic board with abilities, spells, and power-ups for you to devour. After battles you gain certain types of spheres that correspond to the different types on the board. Enough about the lvling. The story is a little confusing at first but then starts to become clear as you progress with the usual FF drama...but this time they have voice-overs for all the spoken dialoge piled on with the great graphics and animation..damn, its just badass. I could go on and on but if you have become disillusioned in the wake of the previous FFs (8 & 9), grab this one and become a believer once again.IP: Logged |

i disagree. MGS2 is a great movie, but a not-fun-enough game. When it lets you play, it's fun but all the cut scenes are, in the end, just frustrating. I think this sums it up pretty well. MGS was a thing of beauty, and i want to say that MGS2 is great, just because I loved MGS sooo much (and i originally thought it was gonna just be 'ok' cos of the original 8-bit NES game). ------------------

Yeah, wtf? I choose "I beat #1, I know the controls", then I bop along, and in day 2 of game play, all of a sudden I'm blonde, and a different guy, and the damn colonel is telling which button to use to knock on walls. And this little mama's boy has to call home on the wireless every time he finds a shiny rock. And some chick is on my radio asking me if I remember our first date?? Course, it's not bilingual, so I miss a little now and again. IP: Logged |

Yeah, I kinda get the same feel from FFX. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome game...I mean, playing as Bahumut? Can you get any cooler? But a lot of the time, it seems like it's run to this place, go through cut scene, run to next place, another cut scene, etc. And the whole fact that it's not a "world" you're going through so much as a linear point-A-to-point-B type of thing frustrates me. But then again, the impression that I'm getting from the game so far is that, in story terms, what I'm playing is the past, and have yet to catch up to the present. And if there's anything I enjoy, it's in media res.I hear that towards the end of the game you get some leverage in where you go, instead of that blazing red arrow always pointing the goddamn way. ------------------

yah, and this is our mission analyst too. I swear to god, I'm about 3/4 through MGS2 now, and I'm starting to go insane. She's like a mish-mash of everyone's former crazy girlfriend. I cringe when I'm forced to save, knowing that she'll start bitching about how I dont open up or spend enough time with her. And when she's happy, they banter on like lovers in some bad teeny-bopper soap. Konami had enough material here to make their own dating/relationship sub-game. I pity the fools who are attached to girls really like this, as MGS2 will prove not to be an escape from reality, but a tragic plunge back into the hells they temporarily fled. For a while I started hoping that Raidyn (The weird fellow we're forced to use instead of snake, which blowz) would simply start humping E.E. so I could just make clean break and save in peace =P In seriousness though, I was expecting to play as Snake just a *little* bit. Ah well, like they said, its a good movie.

They translated it as "Raidyn"? Weird. In japanese, his codename is "raiden" (rye-den), which means "thunder and lightning". And everyone keeps saying stuff like, "that's an odd codename. Now let's go get that Revolver Ocelot!"Anyway, didn't you play the tanker story? You play as snake in that part. I think it only starts you on that stage if you indicate that you beat MGS 1. So far, I liked the tanker story better, but it was pretty short. WHERE ARE THE VR MISSIONS????? IP: Logged |

FFX could have been a great game, however it is only a decent game. On the other hand, it is a GREAT movie. I really enjoy the cut-scenes. But there is no gameplay whatsoever. Whenever you do get to walk around the item chests are far and few between, there are little to no random battles, and the puzzles are incredibly easy to solve. So far, I will go out on a limb and say it kicks FF8's ass bigtime. FF9, well if you could get past the crappy characters in the game, you had a good game. However, RPGs are character driven usually, and FF9 had shitty characters. That, and shitty bad guys, which messed up the game and gave it too much of a childlike appeal. FFX, now we got a good FF title, but NOW it has no gameplay. Too bad FFX is supposed to be the last of the FF RPGs. Next is FF11, but that is to be an online MMORPG similar to Everquest, and not part of the real series. IP: Logged |

Ummm have you guys ever held a controller before?You can skip through the cut scenes with the start button ( keep tapping it, they're broken into diff scenes ) *start, start, start, start play...... and the codec you can fast forward through but double clicking the triangle button. Those 40 minute conversations go by in 3 seconds. The only codec moments worth listening to are the ones from cambell when yer in arsenal gear and he's talking crazy talk. Fairly funny actually. ( as soon as you start walking around naked ) There's one upskirt jappr0n moment. When yer looking for the pace maked there's a young girl in blue. Crawl under the table and hit her with the m9. Her legs will slowly spread open once the dart hits. If you race through the tanker all the marines will be in their boxers... what else?.... Kill animals and rose freaks for the next 3 codec calls. I dunno it's just a great game. Wish there was more gore though. IP: Logged | |
