1up rates every Final Fantasy

[LunarWeaver]

Yeah, I'm in agreement with a lot of statements already made. Most of this didn't make a lot of sense. Oh well, these list things are rarely ever objective, be it a site's or a fan's.

Tell me, what did FF VII really do to make it revolutionary outside of being 3D? Which likely would have happened anyway without FF VII.

Open a magazine from 1997 and you'll find out. Matter of fact, go here and have the game developers tell you themselves.

I personally don't understand what that guy meant by NOT WORTH IT .

I mean I think EVERY Square game is worth playing .

You haven't played Ehrgiez.

FF III NES, FF VIII and FFTA not worth it? Okay, these opinions are not worth it to remember.

[Sephex]

I agree with most of that. Some of you need to chill because they said certain games aren't worth it. My favorite game of all time is FFIV, and they pretty much said none of the versions are worth it. Though, they kind of made up for it because they pretty much said the DS version is going to kick ass--which we all know is true.

Final Fantasy Adventure
Surprise! It's not really a Final Fantasy game (although it was presented as a sort of spin-off); in fact, this is the prequel to Secret of Mana. Does it matter, though? It's quality material through and through, and it definitely has a certain ineffable Final Fantasy-ness about it. Or is that just the nostalgia talking?

Now, I just have to copy and paste that everytime someone makes that mistake instead of making my own 5 page rant on Seiken Densetsu!

I love the FFVII rating!

You know, Jeremy is usually spot on with his Retro reviews, but his take on KH2? Way off.

Where the hell is my soapbox... ah there were are. *Climbs on*

KH2 took everything positive about the first game and enhanced it while simultaneously taking everything wrong with the first game and fixing it. Some people hate KH for whatever reason, and that all well and good. But even the haters have to admit that KH2 was an improvement in every way over the first game. Yet KH1 rates a ‘worth it’ and KH2 did not? That doesn’t even make sense.

Also, I'm sick of people crying about the 'mindless button-mashing combat' Is it simplistic? Sure. But what is wrong with that? How is pulling of awesome, acrobatic mid air moves, counter attacks, and dramatic, life saving turnarounds with minimal effort a bad thing? If I want to key in a specific sequence of buttons to pull of insane power move every single time I want to do it, well that’s what Devil May Cry, Heavenly Sword, and Ninja Gaiden are for. Or better yet, any given fighting game. KH is about looking cool with minimal effort, and that’s fine with me.

KH2 would be worth it just to see Aerith again.. *sigh*

I'd agree with KH2 being "not worth it" compared to the original in the sense that the story wasn't nearly as good, and the worlds themselves were much smaller and had a lot less to them than the worlds in the first game. Both of those took a lot away from the experience to me, especially where the gameplay, while fun, is still simplistic as you admit. It's not a bad thing, but it lacked the depth needed to really bolster my two problems with the game and keep it on the level of the first.

[Mr Cactuar]

Its 1Up, everyone on teh internetz knows by now that they're just a poor site. I disagree with almost all of their ratings.

I found KH2 to be just as good as the 1st one, but I have to admit I was a bit confused about the OrgXIII thing to begin with. I hear that by playing CoM it becomes much clearer.

The main thing that pisses me off about KH2 is the way that Sora acts near the end.

"omg hey kairi whats doing"
"oh you know, forgetting you, looking for you, getting kidnapped for you"
"oh ok thats coo-ZOMFG IS THAT RIKU!!!?1!1??! RIKU ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG KISSESSSSS HUGGGS IVE MISSED YOU ZOMG OGMAOOGMS"
"i'm right here sora... (kairi)"

[tidus_rox]

Wow... this whole thing is 'not worth it...'

I disagreed with half the things they said... whatever... its just someone's opinion.

[Skyblade]

I like how people are so angry because not every single game got a "worth it" xP

I think it's more because the review said "wait around for the superior GBA versions", and, once it got to the GBA versions, it said "nah, these aren't worth it either". Why not just tell us that the game sucks during the first review?

Of course, I find these reviews as a terrible guide to judge the quality of the games, so I'm not really going to be following their "worth it", "not worth it" ratings.

[Roto13]

The only GBA version they said wasn't worth it was IV. (Except Dawn of Souls, but they never said to wait for the superior GBA version.)
