Most annoying anything final fantasy related???

[Mirage]

I want just about everything in the "do not want" section of Silentenigma. What exactly is it you dislike? Things looking good, or sci-fi/near future settings?

virus in ff9 was pretty annoying, so are really small obstables that somehow totally block the path of the main characters.

Its hardly fanboyism to have a preference

Not to mention the point of the thread is to criticize certain aspects of the series lol :P

True, but it's extremely fanboyish to whine about changes to new installments of a series as if you're being forced to play them. If it's "killing" you, then why keep playing them?

So yeah.

Awh, you guys don't have to fight over little old me!
Really though. What am I a fanboy of again? I guess I put FFVI and VII in there a little too much, but it's not like I hate the newer ones or anything that isn't steampunk. Here's my ranking of favorites when it comes to FF:

VII, VI, IX, IV, XII, VIII, X, II, V, I, III.

Love them all. Can't stand the tendency for the new ones to spam amazingness just about everywhere, though - It looses the charming effect for me. In FFVIII it was fine; Esther was awesome because it was nothing like anything else on the planet, and the Gardens were relatively unique as well.

But ever since Bevelle in FFX, it seems like just about every airship, building, machine, power-up, and gun has to be made out of some kind of weird, shiny, metallic design/architecture with colorful works of art all over. (Almost as if the developers are afraid it wouldn't be 'fantasy' enough without all that fluff.) Anyway, I'm glad they're going to shake things up a bit with FFvXIII where things don't look so... contrived. Does anyone feel me on this one?

And I guess I need to put a giant IMHO at the end of this

I am totally with you on that one.

Since I posted I guess I have to throw mine out there. I'm going to go with the fan base I meet in real life. I come from a sport background, so most people I know aren't all that interested in video games, and most who are are are more into FPS stuff. Whenever I meet someone who has a similar taste in video games as I do they usually turn out to be fairly loser-ish. Doesn't make me feel good about myself.

to be called names.
To have your real life threatened because you disagree with someone about a game.
To be ridiculed because of your age.
To be ridiculed because you like to use ellipsis....
Ellipsis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's all happened to me on other FF forums.

I've since learned to keep most of my views to myself.
It's like the old Fleetwood mac song..I keep my visions to myself, for the most part.



The gosh golly oh boy stuff.
I guess you kind of expect it when you see something wonderous.

The stadium at Luca.
When Auron climbed those steps I felt that sense of wonder.

I can see where you don't want that all the time but just at special moments.

[Mirage]

Thanks for telling us, but why?

I also think it's annoying that it's so easy to reach the damage cap, at least in the later games (excluding FF11).

[ANGRYWOLF]

Isn't that what this thread is about ?

shrugs.

Anything annoying that is FF related.

FF forums are FF related although we're not suppose to bash other forums.

There are a lot of gaming forums out there.Tons of them. A lot that are FF /Square enix only.

Things that annoyed me about FFX were the silly minigames you had to do to get the items and or celestial weapons.
The chocobo race.
The lightning dodge.
The butterflies ( red and blue) in the woods.
Those were seriously annoying.

I guess they're technically related, it was just that it sounded like you were just looking for some sort of consolation or something. To me anyway.

[Loony BoB]

The delays between (most) major releases.

Vaan.

[Mirage]

Well, it's better than releasing incomplete games :p

or consolation on a gaming forum.

Well most gaming forums.

I do have a friend who runs a gaming magazine that also has a forum and we have expressed sympathy to each other about personal issues.Her husband, who I use to correspond with years ago died and I expressed sympathy to her.
But that was an exception to the rule.

So I certainly wasn't looking for anything from any fans.

Just stating what had happened.

shrugs.

One of the most annoying things about FFXII for me was getting cuch in the sewers/waterways.
It must have taken me a dozen tries to beat him as his abilities kept killing my party.

[jammi567]

Yiazmat having over 50 million HP. That's not fun or tactical, that's just plain tediousness.

Where are Square Enix so facinated with resistance groups? There's at least three stories that feature them.

[Loony BoB]

I haven't got a problem with the reasoning, but it doesn't make it less annoying.

>>> Mastering some materia in FF7, it takes forever..

[Rebellious Eagle]

Confused status, bad breath, Chocobo races, and Vaan's lack of manly clothes. :|
