I object. Big time.Quote:
FFIX was medievalish, but it had excellent character development, a character-driven story, and lost its integrity by purposely making the atmosphere of the game unrealistic and by being advertised as "going back to its roots"
It was as realistic as VII or VIII or X or XII. And how does that advert of 'going back to its roots' make it lose its integrity? All it's saying is that the style will be more similar to the early Final Fantasys.
em at random i would have to say X cause if the emotional story and the characters and the gameplay leaving them in battle you can have a ten minute think about what your next attacks gonna be and not die :love:
VIII. Because not many people notice this game, what with VII being the best because "it was my first game i ever played, and it's the best because i said so", and IX being the best because "fantasy must mean that it features castles and knight and pretty princesses"
^A lot of people notice FFVIII.
In a bad way.
(SPOILER)With its crappy crappy love which was as bad as the laughing scene in FFX but lasted much longer :mad: .
I wasn't trying to say that advertising it that way was necessarily bad, but all they did was bring back visual/nostalgic things such as the FFI looking black mage, an afterthought crystal, a more deformed (that's what i meant by unrealistic) look, and subtle character references to previous FF's. If that's what going back to its roots consists of, then that's fine. However, I think that the whole notion is kind of ridiculous because each FF has been quite different to, yet extremely influenced by, the preceding installment.Quote:

Wow I guess nobody here likes Final Fantasy XII because it hasn't gotten a vote.
You are correct.Quote:

I like VI more than any others. I've liked it longer. And I feel that if anything should have had a compilation, VI should have been.
Voted VII because of nostalgia, but recognise XII is the best game in terms of pretty much everything that matters.
I'm a VII baby and thus it gets my vote, as it should anyway. Wonderful game.
Odd to see VI in there but not I-V. I always say I-VI as the "2D era" and VII onwards as the "3D era". VI looks a bit out of place in the lineup because of that.
I didn't have enough room for FFs I-V.Quote:
