Change is good. Change is what makes the people different from the rocks.

Can't remember where I heard that, but I've been waiting a while for a relevant place to use it. Thanks :)

They made a sequal to an FF game, and they made some great business out of that. So what's your point?

This is so terribly utilitarian. Have they followed their high standards or are they pandering to the masses?

how? they're both selling top of the line valuable merchandise and square has seemed to change it, am I right? I never got a straight answer to my first post. Is this a break of tradition. Have they actually replaced FF with somthing different. not necesarraly bad, but is it significantly different. my question is if someone put out all the FF's in a row and sang that obnoxious sesame street song, "one of these things is not like the other" would everyone point to XI

How is it significantly different? Its an MMORPG! Read up about it! Know what the freak MMOs are first, its of course different from the other FFs.

About that song, the same can be said for FFVII and VIII because its not the same as the previous 6, or the FFIX because its different from VII and VIII, or even X-2 because its a sequeal, but this is online. That makes no sense whatsoever to really point out that this one is odd. Its however online and IS different. Its not breaking tradition, there was NO tradition to begin with, hence why there are ppl saying FFIX sucks or FFX-2 sucks or etc. Just live with it ><;;

How are they pandering? This game is only good for some audiences, i for one like MMOs with normal RPGs, those that dont like online play or lots of time to do quests and every lvl up count...dont need to play it, i know some dont like this game because MMORPGs just arent their thing, but some do and hence it caters to them. Again whats wrong with them making this? is FFXII the same? I hope not because not only does it hurt their buisness, it also screws thingsup. So theres no reason to complain, i have been thinking of an FF online game for a bit years before.

If you would bother to play the game, than just complain about the differences, you would realise that it IS a high standard game, and actually higher than any other MMORPG's I've played, and I'm sure everyone would agree with me.

First of all, it is different... Video games have a completely different value than diamonds and jewels, and can be tweaked as much as they want them to be. All game companies do it.

That's complete and utter dumb. All the FF's are different to each other, the only thing that could be considered the same is that they are some sort of an RPG's, have Cid in them and also Chocobo's. Did you know there was actually games like FFT and FFTA? They are loved by many. Sure there's a certain 'standard' that makes an FF an FF enjoyable by the fanbase, but that doesn't mean Square-Enix can't make MMORPG's.

The point is, they have and they will continue to maintain it with a growing fanbase. And don't worry... FFXII isn't going to be online, but I can tell you it will be different than any other FF, you just better hope Chocobo's are in it.

Say, um... This thread is called Compare to other ff games, but it seems that you are arguing I have a few things to say ^_^ 1. This Argument isnt really needed. 2. Final Fantasy is a series, but each one is different, this I think is just another change. ^_^ 3. I am not a White Mage :tongue:

EDIT: Forgot to say something in last post 4. Pwease don't awgue abowt games :cry:

Please don't double post. -Murder

The point is that you CANT compare this to other FFs in most respects...thats why its not worth comparing because its different.
