Do you think FFIV and V should share there own forum while I-III have a forum between the three? Im just wondering. In my head it seems better categorized given I-III were NES, IV-VI were SNES and the FFV forum is one of the quieter forums on the board. It just seems neater in my picky head so do the staff agree, or disagree or whats the story?
haven't we discussed this enough times already?
have you?
personally, i don't care. your logic makes sense to me.
FFI
FFII-XII
That's what we need.
Hack FFV doesnt even have a real description. They should have quoted MJN seifer ranting about Bartz not being a gigollo.
nah, yams, I think it should be more like this:
FFI
FFIV
FFVI
and no others. :)

FF5 deserves its own forum more than ff4 for a myriad of reasons and THAT"S ALL YOU"RE GETTING OUT OF ME I SWEAR.
FF4 still needs to be split from 1-3 though in any case, but some oldbies don't want it to change for some reason :p
It's that time of the month for another one of these threads already?
everyone goes through their "time of the month" at different times of the month, RSL.
I like the idea of having IV and V in the same forum, but that's beside the point - Cid's happy with the site as it is now, and doesn't want to change it.
:)
I set my watch to the appearance of these threads.

Well since Cid owns this place it doesn't matter how old Raistlin gets.
it's not possible to be a bigger oldbie than Cid.
Yeah, Cid registered like a day before me. :(
I made my first ever Feedback thread about something like this and everyone but eestlinc said "Yes Psy you are the best here is a medal!" if I remember rightly. This is probably where my former (yes, former) deep-set loathing of eest came from.
Why yes, I was right. I made it on my 16th birthday. Thanks for ruining my 16th birthday, eest you jerk. Make that unformer. :mad2:
*just an idea*
Ha ha, n00b. :pQuote:

You all suck and should be shot for not including FFT.
I wasnt suggesting any major changes like getting rid of X-2. Just arranging two forums so they were beter balanced.Quote:

Oh nononono, I wasn't suggesting getting rid of any of the forums, that's just the result of me being too lazy to post every game forum. Beside, Final Fantasy X-2 is my favorite forum, I would never wish to remove it.
The FFX-2 forum should be removed, though. It would be best to forget that travesty.
X-2 and its forum is too good for you. The X-2 forum is the closest thing to god.Quote:

This is how it should be:
Forum 1: General Chat/Artist's Gallery/Final Fantasy X-2/Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Forum 2: Eyes on Each Other/Final Fantasy I-IV/Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus
Forum 3: The Lounge/Feedback/Heart of the Kingdom of Kingdom Hearts' Heart
Forum 4: Eyes on The World/General Archive/Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (again)
Then you can lump the rest of the forums together in one final forum. Think of how nice and tidy things would be if there were only five different forums. :up:
I can't see why this hasn't been done ages ago.
eestlinc is obviously the only one against it and since when has anybody cared about what he thinks anyway? I know I don't :D
Why FF5 has its own forum and FF4 doesn't is truly beyond me.
And there's my bi-annual feedback.
ff4 is welcome to have its own forum, it just can't take ff5's forum.
what ever happened to sharing? :(
There's this rule we have here called "It's Always Been That Way and It's Never Going to Change". This rule alone would prevent the FFIV forum from being split out from FFI-IV, even if it was a good idea to do so, which it clearly isn't.
The day you take FFIV out of FFI-IV is the day EoFF collapses into a heap of flaming rubble.
It will probably bring more posts to FFV threads also.Quote:

No, Destai. eest is right-- ff5 would only be marred by sharing with ff4.
You guys should be arguing for all or nothing anyways.
and then be happy when we give you nothing.
sharing a forum with 4 would cause the 5 threads to get crowded out.
Thats the reason why I asked in the first place though, that forum is one of the weaker ones anyway. FFV would be less marred than FFI-III are sharing a forum with FFIV.Quote:

So again, why not tidy them up and join them as a forum with Cid's approval? The thread keeps coming up because plenty of people seem to think its a good idea.Quote:

Go pick on them!
a) if slow forums hurt nothing, why go to the trouble to merge them?
b) Cid says himself that slow forums are fine and doesn't want forums merged needlessly.
c) if you don't want to post about ff5, don't go in that forum.
The logic I was using was FFIV&V are both on the Snes and came right after each other and the main idea is just to be neat.Quote:

Merge them so the average post count is more balanced in every forum.
but the average post count is irrelevant.
Yes I know. I made it clear from the start the main reason I was for this is because it looked neater.
ff9 came out right behind ff8, they're on the same platform, and it doesn't have as many posts as some other forums. Should we merge them in too?
Maybe when we switch to vB 3.whatever BoB's first use of the new features he's been salavating over can be to split out the FFIV Forum.
Any splitting still requires Cid's approval and he seems quite adamant to leave things as they are, which is fine with me.
Well, maybe we'll just have to overthrow Cid!
Oh, he really thinks that? I thought that was just something we told people to get them to shut up.
That could be what I was doing. :shifty:
I don't think they suspect you, Leeza. They never suspect a Russian. :cool:
HahahahahahahaQuote:

You keep up with him, Raist? Last I checked he's only posted about it in the Staff Forum, and that was half a year ago (pretty much to the day, oddly enough)...
The fact that both FFIV and FFV are being re-released for the GBA to me further shows that they belong together. I love FFV the most out of all the past FF's but I still think that those two should either have their own forums or be merged into one.
Their own, please.
IV + V = BOO!
IV = WOO!
V = WOO!
Now Destai will hate eestlinc forevermore too.
Also put the two of them in with FFVI because FFVI fans annoy me and I want to make them suffer as they have made me suffer! Not that they actually have made me suffer, this is just a pre-emptive strike.
FFIV DESERVES it's own forum ya know ;)
It's the only way to truly find Cid and be happy with the world.
Well, he made them that way, and that's what I remember from when this discussion first came up. I don't remember if he posted that himself or if someone from Staff did, but I've been led to believe that it's true. :pQuote:

The FFT-FFTA merge makes sense, since I don’t see why the fake FF games get there own forums, and FFVI merged with FFX-2 because it would increase the general intelligence level of the FFX-2 forum, and take those FFVI snobs down a notch!
FFT is one of the FFs that truly deserves its own forum.
Yes, and FFTA is one that doesn't...
Im saying it because FFV has alot less posts in comparison to just about all of the other forums. Use your heads people!Quote:

There can also be a General FFVII forum.
You know just because you dont like the idea is no reason to blow it out of proportion so no one can talk about it.
Maybe you should read the first post I made in this thread, then.
Sorry, I got the impression you were using the "make the thread topic look dumb so you can close the thread tactic."
What we should do is just forget FFIV and forget it ever happened.
And never post in FFI-IV
...Hey that's what I do
Someone's always going to want some part of the forums reorganized. At some point you just say "enough is enough" and leave it.
Can't we just forget about the FF stuff?
Why don't we merge ff6 and Chrono Trigger then?Quote:

There'd have to be a 'default' layout, particularly for modding purposes, but I reckon this could be done. Somehow.Quote:

eest: What we could do is make a category for each 'group' of FF's and then people can just collapse the ones they don't care for. :p But I don't think that'd be a good idea, while I do think FFIV & FFV is a good idea. The only reason we didn't really do it before is 'cause of Cid. The majority of people seem to think it's a good idea.
But personally I'm not bothered as I don't really post in either forum. :p
