I don't mean to suggest that Final Fantasy should implement obvious biological necessities into the course of gameplay (i.e. sleeping, bathing, eating, exercising, using the restroom), I merely suggest that characters should have at least one extra outfit they change into at some point during the course of the game or some other kind of noticeably physical change.
Tidus looked physically different between ingame cutscenes (where he was a white boy) and FMVs (where he was asian).
probably not the point but still
I think we should have a shape shifting main character who can change between black and white andpeegeeazn
Sadly that was one of the few things I was amused over with FF8, Squall got to play dress-up once in a while. Its too rare in JRPGs. But he would have looked better in Cloud's dress and wig [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]
When did Squall play dress up?
I think he's talking about the Seed dress uniform, not an actual dress
Oh, yeah. That's what I meant. I guess that probably was confusing when mixed with my quip about Cloud's dress. Sorry
I am starting to believe that Final Fantasy fans hate FF. There is always a heart broken FF fan with every release. Final Fantasy XII and XIII have broken the most hearts.
Final Fantasy XII was a Western influenced and quite frankly, most of you whined about the removal of turn based battles. If you would (and some of you realize this, I know) use your powers of observation the games are STILL employing the ATB system but are modified for style and presentation.
To get back to my point, Final Fantasy XII was very Western influence and was a SUCCESSFUL game in execution. The fans didn't like it.
Final Fantasy is not going down hill. Final Fantasy does not need to out source development to a Western developer. If anything they should outsource the development to ANOTHER JAPANESE DEVELOPER. Squeenix is moving more towards publishing anyway.
Also, I don't believe FFXIII means the series is going downhill. JRPGs have not been received well on a whole (with the exception of Demon's Souls, which plays like a WRPG). I think FFXIII design decisions came from time constraints and the pressure of having the most beautiful game on the market. I am sure the next FF will come out sooner and be more "complete" of a game. HOWEVER, some FF fans will still hate it. FF fans are insatiable and any series that has a the legacy of FF will have a hard time satisfying the entire fanbase. It doesn't matter what the next FF is like. Every FF has haters. Let's just hope it doesn't have as many haters as XIII (a game that did some things brilliantly, but broken hearted fanboys don't care).
I think the current situation is an extension of the growing anti-Final Fantasy sentiment across the gaming landscape more than anything else to be honest. The arguments people are making about Square being on the verge of collapse and needing to make serious changes to their flagship series or they risk losing all their fans and going bankrupt etc. etc. etc. are the exact same arguments people have made about every FF game since FF7. These arguments are always to be like this " Look X don't have random encounter therefore i will overlook the flaws of X but bash FF or any other series".Quote:

I'm not a rabid FFXIII defender. In fact I've picked apart its flaws quite severely. Constructive criticism is welcome and encouraged (e.g. Wolf, Vivi22) but what happen nowadays is either plainly being negative or whining :eep:.Quote:
