used to post here years ago, with FF13 bringing me back, was wondering whats changed on eoff?


the site has changed so much lol (i cried aloud with mirth and merriment).
anyone from way back in the day, (like '05/06) still posting here or have they all been banned lols?

[Psychotic]

Yeah there's a hell of a lot of people who were posting in '06 who are still around. Like me! 'sup?

[Shlup]

Sup, marc?

Nothing's changed since '05. At all.

[marc]

haha sweet, feeling a little nostalgic looking back through old posts. tbh.
it's good to be back

[Shlup]

Good! We like having people back. I'm glad FF13 is inspiring people to come hang out with us.

[marc]

lol, im yet to play the game, havent really been into videogames for a while which is probably what has kept me away.
Just wondering what everyones opinions on it is?
worth spending £40 on?

[Shlup]

Based on all the chatting that's been going on in the FFXIII forum, I think the consensus is that it's pretty awesome. The characters are awesome, most of us think the battle system is neat, and it's overall very pretty. I think it's worth it to get. It may just be my favorite FF yet, next to IV.

The black dude, Sazh, is absolutely beloved. Heh

[marc]

really?
from alot of the reviews it looked a mixed response.
A few peeps saying its linear and whatnot.
I guess I'll have to play it myself tbh.

[Shlup]

Oh yeah, it's totally linear. But, I mean... it's a Final Fantasy. They're like interactive movies. If you don't want a linear game then Final Fantasy isn't for you to begin with.

I do like the story though. If it was linear with a lame story and lame characters that's one thing, but I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

Hey marc. I think I remember you. Welcome back.

I'm holding off on FFXIII for the meantime because I've got a lot of assignments and work to do, but from the instruction manual, it sounds pretty cool. I especially like the sound of 'paradigm shift'-ing. Square has brought my sociology studies and my gaming together.

[marc]

ah your studying sociology, im doing that myself.
what area are you working on atm?

[Jiro]

God, it's '05 the good old days now? I feel old now. God knows how Raistlin feels.

Welcome back marc!

[Lightening]

I dont' think ff13 will disappoint you! sure it's linear but everything else makes it irrelevant and the story sort of requires the linearity.

[Breine]

Most of us old farts are still around, I suppose.

..and oh yeah, this place is pretty much still the same xD


EDIT: Welcome back btw!

[thegirth]

I too returned after 13, totally missed the place.
