This is the best FF game ever. I have been talking this game up as the best FF game ever since 2002 if not a bit earlier in late 2001. Long story short the Demo has proved me right. From the graphics to the dungon design this will...with out a doubt be the greatest FF game ever.
Discuss the greatness of the game!
I fully agree that this will undoubtedly be a wonderful asset to the Final Fantasy series.
I will give you my own report once I have a copy of DQVIII. Until then, I would agree from the things I've seen so far. Perhaps not the best, but certainly a welcome addition to the series.
I think i'd rather wait till i have a copy of it before i say it is better than the greatness of FFX.:moomba:
I'll have to wait until I can con someone into giving me the demo or until it actually comes out to know.
Speaking of conning people, where's rsl. . .
Once I obtain Dragon Quest VIII I will as well express my opinion. But seeing everyting so far, it seems to me that this will be one of the greatest FF's in the series. Graphics, plot, characters, and plus it's going back to it's old school predicessors.
I want to play the demo. :(
Wow I didn't know you had a time machine.Quote:

Well now you do! I have seen the greatness. This game will bring all FF gamers together under one universally great game.Quote:

chaos: Having only read about it, all I can say is that it looks pretty damn good. :)

My cousin bought DQ8 and brought it over and i played on the demo. It took me a few minutes to get used to but over all i love it. The opening CG was so FREAKIN GOOD. And i actually like the real time fighting mixed with all the coolness of Final Fantasy. The Battle system kinda reminded me of Final Fantasy XI but with a single player aspect. The only thing i didn't like is that the other two characters in my party kinda do what they want. Though, if Square programs the game right, it shouldn't be a problem. This game will be good, i feel it will be on par with Final Fantasy 6 and 7.
Frankly, I'm not the slightest bit interested in it. :erm: I've been keeping up with it, and just don't understand the hype. Everybody and their brother is stoked for this. I dunno...
I'd love to check out the demo, but seriously, why do they have to pack it with Dragon Quest? T.T Of course it can't come with a game I want. Marketing reasons be damned.
Dragon Quest VIII is awesome as well. It's nice, traditional RPG that is fun and well done. If you haven't played it yet, hop on over to Square's web site and get to the Dragon Quest VIII flash website and sign to to recieve the demo in the mail free. It's good.
i have played ffvii to x-2 and i would say vii is the best rpg ever made. xii is going to have a hard time to try and top it. I have played the xii demo and it is really good but come on now vaan looks feminine and thats not cool at all. Everyone knows that cloud is the best hero. Also dragon quest viii isn't that bad of a game my bro picked it up and it's just cartoony.
I think it's too soon to say that this will be the greatest FF. Play the whole game first
Ah, the blinded FF7 fanboy. You won't think any game is better than FF7 because you would never give it the chance.Quote:

It already came out on nov. 15th and my bro is about half way through it. We have been taking turns playing it and its not too bad actually it's really good it's just that the cell shading is a little different but other than that the gameplay runs smoothly and the monsters are comicly unique lol.
Oh boy...

Aaand Cloud was Popeye as an emo. Personally, I rank that as the most uncool combination ever. :eek:
On to Dragon Quest... how does it rate as far as story goes? Is it worth $50?
Great, so edczxcvbnm's FFXII prophecy seems to be quite accurate. :) I think he's been saying FFXII will become the best FF ever since FFIX came out or so. I wonder how the game will turn out. The medieval fantasy setting is an interesting and a welcome feature, but I'm not particularly interested in the return of Ivalice, especially when Ivalice seems to be more taken from FFTA than FF Tactics.
Greatness? Oh, you mean the graphics.Quote:

It has FFXI's mandragora and similar fighting system, i am in love <3
It seems FF games name their humans Humes now..O_o interesting...but i am disappointed in that theres only Humes..and 1 Vierra.
Come on 1:1 world map!
I'm waiting. I'm reserving judgement until I actually play the game. It looks good so far but I have strange tastes as it is. Hopefully the storyline, gameplay and graphics will wow me.
And they haven't chosen any bad voice actors to date so here's hoping.
In this thread you are not to spread lies about Squenix!Quote:

Maybe I'd get used to it playing the game for a while, but as of right now, I think it's just too weird to be likable.
Anyway... I won't make any assumptions about the game until I play the real thing, and not a demo.
Weird,dude.
Final Fantasy VI is the best final fantasy, hands down.
I've yet to play the demo, but I absolutely cannot wait for this game.
The demo's pretty good. I'm excited.
I'm not sure what to say, the main character looks like a girl,a fag! In Final Fantasy the gay looking characters are most of the time villians like Kuja.
Nick, if I see you using the words fag and gay in those terms again, I will ban you.
The demo was really fun. I preferred the dungeon one not the phon coast one. The battle system was a lot more fun when there was no wait.
Yes FFVI was the worst game ever hands down.Quote:

From the demo, you can't conclude crap. This game is like single player FFXI. The summon system sucks. The battles are okay, but nothing spectacular. I just hope the story is good.
however, giant t-rex to ride around on is pretty sweet...... Yes, there's a giant T-Rex. No, you don't actually get to ride him. But it'd be sweet.
I agree with Dignified Pauper, I really didn't get much out of that demo. I've never been a big fan of MMORPGs, or offline games that try to be MMORPGs, so I just hope there's a fun customization system and an interesting story to go along with this.
I'm sure there'll be a great story and an awesome villian. Every third one in the series gets preferential treatment in that area.
Yeah I agree, some people just don't want change but this is a great step towards RPG games in the future. IF you don't like this game and keep complaining about it than just don't get it and go for other types.Quote:

That aside, I'm psyched about this game. This is definitely my most anticipated game for the past two or three years (topping Kingdom Hearts 2, which is a big thing for me at least). I should be getting Dragon Quest VIII for Christmas, so that demo will be mine soon. All I have to do is wait just a little longer. I'm so freakin' excited. =D
I bought DQVIII weekend before last (Which I can't seem to put down) and I must say I was HIGHLY impressed by FFXII. It looks like its going to be fantastic. The graphics are beautiful and the battle system was pretty nice. I liked the summons a lot, I was just annoyed that I can no longer summon several of them within a short period of time.
9/10 on the demo, now we just have to wait for the real thing. *Sits and waits.... And plays DQ*
I just finished going through the demo and honestly, I was a little underwhelmed by it. I dunno, it just didn't do anything for me.
I haven't played the demo but I always had a feeling that it would be my favorite FF game...
Got DQVIII. Just played the demo maybe an hour ago. Freakin' amazing is really all I can say to describe it. I want FFXII now.

hmm...i wonder how many people bought DQVIII just for the demo.
I haven't played it yet but from what I've seen, the graphics look good, but i'm not so sure about the storyline. Then again they ALL sound boring until you get to the part the intro doesn't mention.
As long as it is better that X-2, I'll be happy.
What isn't better than X-2?
i pretty much bought dqviii for the ffxii demo. <3 the demo, but it really leaves you wanting more.
kinda weirded out by the espers a bit, they're not traditional summons, mutant monsters, siamese twins...kinda weird. but i liked it nonetheless. just wish i had more control over the espers.
FFXII =
FFXI battle system
FFX graphics
FFT music/story
i'm generalizing but it's true
honestly though, while i'm even more hyped than ever now about ffxii, the best part about the demo is not the demo. w/out the demo i would have never bought dqviii. dqviii is awesome. graphics match the gameplay so well. voice acting while not perfect is pretty good for an rpg. music is great. i'm enjoying the skillpoint system so far, but i'm only lvl 10, haven't even really gotten into it yet. all-in-all dqviii really makes up for the hideous dqvii, which i still haven't been able to force myself to finish, bc of the utter boredom that overcomes me when i start it up. bundling ffxii demo in the game screams "buy me" desparately, but i don't think they needed to resort to such a marketing hook, dqviii is a great game. go buy it
now
i played the demo and loved it i cant wait for this game my fav character wil probley be basch he looks awsome man i cant wait and i cant wait for kh2 either

FFXII looks ok, let's hope the love story isn't a major issue.
considering that it isn't a love story will make the story that much better. No more sappy melodrama.
Because i'm a nut-job.Quote:

All I said is that the game, DQVIII, was better than the FFXII -demo-
and sappy melodrama is woven into the very fabric of Final Fantasy existance.
No, it will be for PS2
ebay
The character models could use a LOT of work, and the battle system wasn't all that spectacular. Probably the element that stood out the most to me was the summon system. How can you not like someone whose main attack is called Roxxor?
As far as the love story and "emos" go, EVERY Final Fantasy has featured emos, and every Final Fantasy since II has featured some kind of love story. It's about time for something different.
Better than Final Fantasy VII and VIII? I don't know, it's got to pretty much be GOD-LIKE to be better than those two. I'll know for sure when I here "GOD-LIKE!!" resonate from some unknown source when I open the Final Fantasy XII packaging. Just like when I opened the Final Fantasy VIII package and a voice out of nowhere bellowed "EXCELLENT!!"
Yeah, I know, I play way too much mortal kombat, lol.
I have only saw a short video of FFXII that I downloaded on Limewire... it only had movie scens though, so I cant really judge the battle system or anything yet, but it was a great video though none the less. Kinda nervous about this battle system though because I have herd some people say that it looks/is lame. =|
I'm positive this will be one of the better Final Fantasy's. I would say that I will probably like the story more than FFVII-XI, but I don't think it will have anything on VI.
It will be hard for most people to acclimate to the battle system(though a lot easier for ffxi vets) but i think the negation of random battles will grow on most people. We all know that people are gonna scream "It's not FINAL FANTASY" bc it's not a photo-copy of FFVII or FFVI(though I wouldn't complain about a copy of the BEST GAME OF ALL TIME) but hopefully I, and everyone else, can play the game without expectations. If I expect the game to be a certain way, then it turns out to be different, even if it's a great game my feeble brain will still be some-what dissapointed. Enjoy the game not bc it's the next in a long series of awesome games, but because it's an awesome game in and of itself(if it does indeed turn out to be awesome).
