Do you think the end of the Final Fantasy series is near?

[Wilder]

Well, I was talking one of these days with my dear friend nostradamus and he told me in that confusing funny way he talks this : " A River of gold is running trough the Big square, Two Big F´s followed by infinite numbers , dark times comes, rumors of sequels you´ll hear , fake´s pictures everywhere ... Final fantasy is forever pal, I even got em all here !" . well, I´m not good to understand that message, But my opinion is that Ir´s going to end , when we all stop buying the game , Are you going to stop ?, cause I´m not, Unless the game get very very poor quality.

N-E-ways Here's how I see it. They probably will continue creating the games. I mean, they are the best in RPG.

Anyway, FF Cant End Now, To Be Honest, Its The Best RPG Out There
And As For What I´ve Seen
FF XII Should Rule

Now, I´ve Heard FF X-2 Sucks For Real Cause Of The Storyline (Girlpower And Stuff) But The Batlle System Was Actually Good , Im Sure It´ll Be Better On FF XII, Lets Just Wait And See ^__^

OVER AN HOUR TO READ ALL THAT AND I GOTTA GO TO BED FOR AN INTERVIEW TOMORROW. Ok enough yelling on to the point of this message. Every single one of you seem to be making the same exact mistake. You are comparing the games. You should only compare sequals and prequals because that is how you can realy tell if it has improved or not. If they add to the characters without changing what was layed down by the other games then it is good if it changes the basics then it is bad. And about the battle system for 12 being bad because they changed it. Don't you realize that every game changed the battle system.
ff1 the game I started on, you all know this warrior thief black belt white mage black mage. simple but it became insanely popular.
ff2 they took out character classes and levels and had you improve your characters by constantly using spells and generaly having your head handed to you.
ff3 brought back levels and introduced the class system, I would say more about it but so far i havn't had time to play it much
ff4 threw out the class system and used an offshoot of the original where every character had a basic class that decided what abilities they had. also got rid of buying magic.
ff5 a return of the class system and buying magic only this time with a better storyline owing to the fact that it has characters to develop as you go through the game.
ff6 the so called holy grail. all characters were basicaly the same except for the fact that each character had their own unique special ability terra transforming celes runic sword etc..
ff7 the introduction of materia and the limit break. you actualy have to think more about what equipment you use so you can use the different spells and you again have to buy magic
ff8 more limit breaks only now with most of the characters you have to do something to make their limit breaks more powerful whether hitting r1 at the right time or using items on her and you have to find magic or steal it from your foes and then the summons which will protect you while you character prepares it and then do damage as well as increasing your strength and allowing you to boost stats with your magic levels also increase your strength only slightly which makes it where you have to junction the summons and magic to have a chance later on and a complete change to the weapons system where you have to find certain items to get them
ff9 you now learn skills and magic from the armor and weapons you use adn the limit breaks are no longer single attack spells and whatnot they have a time limit during which they can do stuff like double cast or just become a great deal stronger and like zidane where you get a new set of incredibly powerful skills that he can use the classes also come back but there isn't much emphasis on them
ff10 now you can switch out characters in the middle of battle and if you think that isn't important then think about this you can now have all three positions filled with your heavy hitters and when they are near death switch one of them out with yuna and heal them or get some magic in and your characters no longer level up but they are able to move around a grid filled with powerups which let you customize their skills so eventualy rikku could become the most powerful character and auron the best magic user (and about you already figuring out that seymor was the villain i know a guy who said that after he beat it problem is i was there when he first saw seymor and after the scene i asked him what he though of him, i had already beaten it at the time, and he thought seymor was a good guy if unusual for a leader of a religion) and you didn't have to new weapons to make your characters stronger all they did was gave you bonuses
ffx-2 brought back the class system so that you could change classes in the middle of battle got rid of the limit breaks but gave you special dresspheres which if you were in a realy tight spot could easily save you also got rid of levels and completly eliminated changing weapons and armor
ff11 i won't talk about since i do not consider it part of the rest of the series i know it sound kind of hypocritical but i also completly hate everquest and any other online game where you have to pay after you buy it
if you cant figure out why i just typed all of this it is to make a point the foundation of the series is inovation and many of you despise some of these games because of the changes that were made whether through animation or battle style whatever either way you are rejecting the thing that made it great whatever you do don't say anymore about how bad a game is because it aint like one of the others they aint connected so you can't compare the storylines just compare the battle systems

p.s. and about the linear story originaly there were supposed to be several endings based on which character tidus had the highest relationship points with so it wasn't just supposed to be yuna he fell in love with it could have been rikku or lulu also least thats what i read don't bother asking where i read it at its been a number of years since

[Yuffie514]

as a true Final Fantasy fan, i will NEVER think about its future with pessimism.

[Captain Red]

I do believe that most of you are right by saying that they will keep making games as long as the games make money, but I'm wondering if it will be awkward playing Final Fantasy XXX....

[Croyles]

I dont understand why so many people hate ffx, i loved it, i love the old games, the new ones, and also the ones in the middle.

however, the worst one must have been 9 in my opinion.

i think they will carry on as long as they can. so i agree with most ppl

[Hawkeye]

Hopefully I'll get through the game just fine
I don't know why I continue to play each game
They'll be making these 'til the end of time
Oh I guess that I will pay
For these new games 'til Doomsday

Final fantasy 8 had the best music in all of the FF series some of the characters were good aswell but i only liked Squall, Zell, Selphie and Irvine. FF8 was highly original in my oppinion it was because it was different to 7 it was so hated for whilst 7 had a cinfusing story for the 1st time through you could get the main plot of 8 first tiem through. 9 was an embarressment, i dont even want to mention it again. X wasnt so bad it had good one good character Auron. if square really wnats to keep Final Fantasy going they will be making better quality games, they ARE remaking 7 and 8 for the playstation 2 9 was but square had 2nd thoughts and dumped it like the crap it is. some games dont need sequels like 8, it just ended perfectly if so then it should focus on another character seifer.

my estimate is that XII is going to be great ive read reviews and the story and it looks brilliant, if this succeeds we'll get final fantasy XX!

[Croyles]

I liked the music from FFX the most, although i do like ff8s music too, apart from "eyes on me". You have a load of opinions on what ff games you like and dont like, but you seem to think that that is fact. i think its best to see things in a bigger scale if you want to know whether they will carry on making games, like seeing how well most people thought of a particular game, or the sale rate.

[Shoden]

yeah i want to see what Square has for us in store we are still searching for the Ultimate Finla Fantasy game, Final Fantasy has had it's uos and downs but square need to go back to the older games and see what they done wrong and what they can do to make the perfect Final Fantasy.

[Blue Mage]

First of all Final Fantasy game rank high above other RPGs and thats that but ranking them in their own series is of course expected heres what i think of them:

FFI: Revolutionary! Saved Square's ass! Nice game all around (of course i could care less about graphics) A+ game!

FFII: I've played 5 min of it...so i can't say anything

FFIII: Dunno i mean the jap FFIII im not sure what one it is @~@

FFIV: If this is the one with Cecil I have to play it again

FFV: I liked the story and the chars and the system,(of course im a fan of the class system), Being able to change classes on the fly was an awesome idea!

FFVI: My fav! AWESOME STORYLINE all the chars had a nice lil' background and struggle. I love Setzer he rules. Great system to it. Love the oprea scenes.

FFVII: second fav, had the best villian ever, system was nice, it limited you in just the right ways since some powerful weapons lacked many materia slots. A lot of love was poured into this game.

FFVIII: Story was iffy, the junction system was odd.....only the main char had a slight background going.....I did play it it was a good game, bad final fantasy

FFIX: the return to medieval was nice. Ok story a good game overall I'd say. Not much to it tho...chars were odd but so was the Yeti and Cait Sith...

FFX : Great graphcs i liked auron.....not much else....voices nice....i also liked naming my chars.....

FFX-2: played it and beat it in one rental (5 days) theres something wrong with that.......square just made a game with girls not a real story there....

FFXI: havent played it love the online idea

Tactics: Played it a bit i like walking around.....

T. Advance: cpuld hasve been better...


and thats all fo0lks!!!

[Croyles]

ehhhm Cait Sith if of FFVII not FFIX and i dont know what yeti u are talking about and the only char u can name in FFX is Tidus unless you count the aeons. Have you ACTUALLY played them or do u have a really bad memory? just wondering.

FFVII and FFX rule!
