Define the "FF Experience"...

[Bolivar]

well i would distinguish the FF Experience as the installments that came out starting with VII, whereas the games that were just "games" were the first six

BUT That's for another thread!!!

as far as what i expect, it's just a cool fantasy setting that's nowhere near as cliche as its contemporaries, cool characters, charismatic villains, a decent battle system even if it's just having different characters with different roles, interesting story, KILLER MUSIC, lots of different colors. games where i can basically zone out for an hour or few if i just wanna chill out.

Honestly, I feel this is a perfect place to elaborate on this. It' not just about FF vs. The World it's also about how the FF titles stand against each other.

You callin me out, bro!?

haha, well I feel nothing I could say could explain this sentiment any better than it is here:

Gametrailers.com - the making of FF7 - 2 of 2 by RobotBling

"The previous versions of Final Fantasy could be called 'puppet shows' compared to this one."

- Hironobu Sakaguchi right before the commercials at the end.

Part I also demonstrates to some extent what I am talking about, but this one is where Sakaguchi, Uematsu and Kitase really delve in to how... dare I say... REVOLUTIONARY(!?) this game was in relation to previous FF's and RPG's.

Yes, I'm calling you out, and don't you dare turn this into that debate. We both reached a standstill so theres no point in arguing since neither one of us will ever give in

I remember that interview but honestly, I disagree with them and don't feel technology can bring a better experience. Yes, I am disagreeing with Sakeguchi-sama.

I'll post my own thoughts in a little bit.

I look forward to it. Also, are you sure neither of us will give in? I think you should join us, Kanno. We got better graphics over here.
