So you're saying that IX was a stupid game, then?
I'll say this about IX, it was definitely aimed at a non-existent audience/demographic...
Now back to FFVIII... I've noticed that there are a lot of people defending that the "Love Story" wasnt' forced... That's just bull:skull::skull::skull::skull:... It was without a doubt forced.
At least in FFIX, the love story was veiled or obscure because of the logic of forbidden love of a princess and a common theif... at least Zidane saved her at his own free will and in a heroric fashion (when you least expected it).
Squall on the other hand. Just HAS to be the one that rescues Rinoa... Now tell me if THAT ain't forced... Yeah... sure it is...
IX wasn't stupid ib my opinion
FVIII S/R wasn't forced in my opinion. It is one of the least forced in my opinion.
A'yo, this crap is unbelievable. You guys are practically at each others throats! If you guys were face to face, a fight might have been started. Look poeple, we can bitch about which FF was better are worse but when it comes down to it, the only decision that matters is your own. And trust me, this will make problems like this stupid. It work in my household. But then again, human are social creatures and always looking for something to talk about. Or in this case bitch about. So, bitch on people. Bitch on.:cool:
Whatever Smacky... All I'm sayin' is dis... The game fell short in some many ways as far as story and chracter delvelopment you would've been better off readin' pre-school version of a book about Rapunzel...
There's no real back story to Rapunzel except some Old Witch of a Hag who probably shoulda been on "Dateline NBC's Preadtor" put her inna tower and mentally abused the poor girl into a narsacist.
And low and behold her comes "The Prince" (there's always one in these stories) that doesn't have a back story but he's A "PRINCE" for cryin' out loud that just supposed to happen without any question...
So why doesn't any question the lame idea that "Squall HAS to be the "one" who saves Rinoa? You CAN'T tell me that didn't make any sense... AN neither did Quistis jeprodizing the mission to go apologise to Rinoa...
Oh yeah, that's makes a lotta sense considerin' that she coulda done that AFTER they killed the menace of the planet!!!
There ae so many things that happend that make you go "WTFH!!!!??!?!" And you CAN'T deny that... Even after the game it still makes no sense.... So shove that up yer craw fanboys and girls... It's the worst FF story to day... Well, there IS FFX-2... Square tried too hard to go the "Charlies Angels Y2K route and made it too girlly and thinly undertoned pervo-vision for dirty old guys...
::slaps you:: Stop that. Even as a joke, the posting of a post just to stir up trouble is this far from trolling. Besides, people confusing the objective for the subjective pisses me the hell off, even in jest.
Rimoah- Rapunzel's story does entirely blow chunks, yes. But it avoids the major failing of trying to play itself as more than it is. FF8, meanwhile, tired to take itself too seriously. FF10-2, did not at any point try and take itself half as seriously as 8 did (and nor should it have. It was our first story of what the hell the heroes do after they save the world, after all. It needed some lighthearted frivolity).
Part of how bad you fail is how high you set your goals. If you set low goals and fall a little, it's not as bad as setting a high goal and failing a lot, if that makes any sense.
A'yo, THAT'S ENOUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look, I understands you guys have somthing to get off your chest but this is crazy!!! You guys remind me of the time when I told my older brother any FF is better than Madden. Boy did I get my ass kicked that day. Anyway, no matter how much you guy continue like this, it's impossible to change each others minds. As much as I like to see a fist fight, this is the internet...PEOPLE WE DON'T HAVE FIST ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!! So, just chill out!:cool:
Aah, whatever, Smacky! Sit on it and spin! You ain't said nuttin' 'bout what point I made! The story's execution sucked ass and you know it! Quistis jeaprodizin' da mission? Squall being forced to drop everything and be da one to save Rinoa, the Oh- I -Forgot "plot-twist"... OH... COME... ON!!!! Deny it all ya want, but it's undeniably sucky! All yer doin' is bitchin' 'bout my comparison,so if yer not gonna talk 'bout nuttin, then shaddap talkin' ta me. Now runteldat!
Yeah, we don't have 'fists on the net' Smacky, but damn, but my words seem to hurt soooo much. Why is that? Oh, because truth hurts! That's why! So sit on it an spin Smacky! I ain't tryin' ta change nobody's mind! I'm just statin' what's what and for people to stop denial of all the blatant arcs (if you can call it that) that really made ya just go WTF!?!?! Because it was just plain lazy and stupid...
Whadda ya think I'm doin' Smacky? I'm havin' LOADS of fun. But I also note that no one is actually acknowledging key points to my posts... But I'm havin' fun with this anyway... Wonder why dat is? Till next episode, see yaz 'round Smacky!
I mean, C'mon people it's been almost, what, a frickin' decade? And people are still crappin' on dis game... And with good reason... If you don't know why? Then yer in denial... I've seen the same points over and over and this is from new player and people that don't even LIKE/PLAY Final Fantasy! LOL
There's gotta be a reason, just like there's a reason for Rinoa is Ultimecia enthusiasts... And dat's where I think the common ground is... Fanboy/girls in denial of the bad points of story and well... others who like the Rinoa is Ultimecia idear... ROFLMAO!!!!! You're alla same!!!
Here we go...
Some one says FFVIII is good, then somone who thinks it's crap chalanges them to say why, That's ignored and then thoes who hated are forced to say why. They give a reason (e.g. They think S/R was forced) The fans dissagree and proove them wrong, The haters find ways of saying there right, and win until the fans proove them wrong.
More fans and haters join the debate and were back to square one again.
This thread may need to be watched or closed. But sadly I am not an admin - just a poster with another opinion...
A'yo, I think FF8 is one of the best FFs. As far THE BEST, they're is none. You would'nt find one FF better than the other because they all overlap each other with flaws and sucess. It's the FF way.:cool:
