>> No FF Victory Fanfare??

[VeloZer0]

A few things I'm going to throw out before I start (as much fun as it is to debate when we are both on opposite pages )
- This has now gone way beyond my feelings on the fanfare. Black marking a game because one simple piece of music is missing is stupid. It is still disappointing that they didn't have it, but I'm talking generalities about game design at this point.
- "I can't for the life of me imagine how you would consider FFXII to be a Final Fantasy game." I thought FFXII (and to a lesser extent FFX) blew. This isn't the place to go into details, but I hope this explains a lot of things you brought up.

I like to know that I can cast Fira and Firaga.

Fire,Fire2,Fire3!!!! It displeased me when they made that change, but it became a new tradition. I don't mean to say they can't change traditions as the series progresses; however I don't feel they should just be picking and choosing which ones to follow. If (more topically) they want to slightly tweak the victory fanfare every game and after a few entries it is completely different that seems perfectly appropriate.

As a consumer I bought the game because it had FFXIII on the front. Had it not I probably would have waited a little while after release, or possibly not gotten it at all. The people at SE know this, so I appreciate it when they make the game remind me of other titles in the series. Labeling it an FF made me more likely to buy it regardless of the quality, I like reciprocation in the form of being reminded of other games will make me more likely to enjoy it regardless of the quality.
