it dont suck, suck the story just sucks!!
This thread is the equivalent of bashing your head against a brick wall.
there was a picture here
You're joking right?
In what way?battle system SUCKS
Yeah, sitting around with your flag up can get boring... Oh wait, no thats FFXI. What on earth are you talking about?Takes FOREVER to get someone in your party
What are you talking about?!When they ARE in your party it is tedious to control them
How much did you play exactly?I hate the Gambits because I like to feel like I'm putting at least a small amount of effort in the game
Whyy?I don't like Penelo or Vaan or any of the characters (excluding Montblanc <3)
That all depends on how much you suck and how strong the enemy is. Surely, the longer the fight, the better? More challenging? No?Battle system is slow, taking much too long to kill an enemy
Like I said, how far have you played?!Magic is horrible
There was a tutorial?The Tutorial was the worst Tutorial I have ever played through in my life
What makes it awful?License Grid is god-awful.
lol, aww babyInability to dual wield
I didn't get that drift at all.Story moves far too slow, and is generic in the sense that the generic way a small town kid will tackle an empire and of course win.
First people complained FFs were getting shorter, now this? Honestly...And even with the ridiculous story, it moves far too slowly!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Actually, I could say that to everything you just saidVaan is UGLY!!

This game is about average for the Final Fantasy series- sucks in some fields, rocks in others.
The graphics and game play are obviously the best features about this game. Um, the license system COULD have been left out, but its just a version of the sphere grid that didn't work out as well as the sphere grid.
The plot and music are the game's major weak points. You can tell that they overdid it with the plot. I mean I have absolutely no idea what is going on half the time, and they terrible music only makes it worse.
With the amount of detail crammed into this game, can you blame them for having underdeveloped characters?
Overall, this game scores a fairly average on the FF radar.
Vaan should get a shirt though.
Funnily enough, I knew what was going on. The music isn't terrible, people just have different tastes. Please explain why the characters were under developed.
The License Board was easier to use then the Sphere Grid, and proved to be more exciting, but each to their own![]()
Yeah I think the license board was cool, allowed much more freedom than the sphere grid.

I personally prefer the Sphere Grid, but that's just my opinion. The characters aren't underdeveloped I guess, but a few things (like motives, etc.) are less-than detailed.
I still think this game is great and worth playing.
I don't get it why people complain about the battle system!
It's one of the best since you can actually choose which enemy to attack.You can run around in the middle of the battle etc etc.The random battles were getting old and repetitive.I'm glad that Square went for a change
But i sure do miss the victory dances![]()
Though in FF12 they do victory dances after boss fights![]()
Aye, I equip Vaan with 2 handed swords just to see him climb on them like a monkey![]()
Alright first of all I have a love hate relationship with this game but its steadily growing on me and I'm learning to love it more.
-Graphics in terms of square enix are going to improve each time we play, graphics are easy to build on (I'm going to get shot for saying that I mean it's easy by comparison to writing a good story) you just have to make things look realistic right? The FF series isn't suddenly going to revert back to pixels (the good old days) Normally I try and save judgement on a game via its graphics for last, hence a scene in GAME
Friend; Wow look at the graphics on that game the characters look realistic and so does everything around them, wow you can even see the expression change and theres sweat dripping off their heads.
Me; Yes but its ping pong
For me graphics is the icing on the cake, the thing that finishes off a good game but doesn't nessesarily make one in the first place.
At first I really disliked the new battle system but now I've played with it more I'm getting used to it and I love it, I find it much more bearable than a random battle every 3 steps that makes me throw down my controller and go ARGH when I'm trying to cross a very large field. Here you can easily run and avoid enemies quite happily. (even if the slower runners get killed you can revive them when the big t rex gets tired of running after you.
Leveling up was neither tedious nor annoying to me and I've only died twice (once when Vaan was by himself and the second for stupidly not pressing the pause button when I had to answer the door), not out of low level but out of my own carelessness. I just take ten extra minutes before going into a new area with a rule that if I can defeat a reasonable enemy with 2-3 hits then I'm ready for the next area. Boss fights made a nice challenge and the fact that I can run around freely in Battle instead of simply bouncing up and down proportionatly to how badass (do I need skulls for that?) my character is, is a fresh and welcome change, battles are NEVER simply run, attack, run back. I did find it annoying that I have to wait for a physical attack to power up before it happens but ah well at least its the same for the enemy.
Quickenings were at first a royal pain, mashing the R2 button while hammering on triangle confused me no end but I've gotten the hang of it now and just managed a 10 hit combo so I'm a happy Gaia plains bunny. Summons also were a bit annoying as Belias kept dieing on me and it still does tick me off slightly, but the high level of damage (unless I'm against a mark or another boss) they inflict makes me keep on summoning them I just wish they went back to the format of one, huge apocalyptic assult that cut 1/3 of the hp off your enemies.
Finally on the story, I have just left the mout Bur o'msomething and so far I find the storyline is okay, I like the judges, characters and especially the cameos in the moogle characters that have been popping up making me gush at the cuteness. I have been hearing the fact that there is no canon romantic story involving any characters (unless you count Ashe being married but thats besides the point) whatsoever, I for one lept for joy at this because I'm sick of romantic storylines and how unrealistic they make characters if not written properly. I for one can never see anyone switch from a full length skirt and boots to hot pants with half a skirt just because her love interest has popped out of existance (Rikku was fine she always dressed like that) That and I couldn't bear the thought of another underwater kiss scene where the main character looks stoned out of his bleach blonde, tanned, ever complaining and moaning head.
I'll end the rant for now but I shall return (Maybe)
Thanks to White for the sig <3
