SomethingBig, i enjoy the fact that u turned my post in2 a laundry list. . but, and i agree, that the graphics can't b compared 2 past ff's bcuz they're in a different console generation. and about the plot, aren't all ff's "boy goes out on adventure,meet characters that go against the government to eventually save the world"?so can't one argue that all ff's are in some way cliche? i can't speak 4 ff's I-IV tho as i haven't played them. in terms of plot, structure, it's more of a complex plot web than the typical laundry list (no pun intended ). instead of taking tidus's view of the events, take yuna's, auron's, wakka's, anyones and see how intricately they intervine and how without one action inevitably makes the whole thing collapse. wat if (SPOILER)auron hadn't died with yunalesca?then he woudn't b able 2 (SPOILER)go 2 zanarkand, watch over tidus, and bring him 2 spira 2 save the world (in sum ways, lucky 4 him he's dead).wat if, and i can go on 4ever with just a slight tweak of an event in the game. also, mayb its just me, which im ok with, but i don't enjoy wandering around in ff's, wondering wat i'm supposed 2 du nex. i don't level up 2 level 100 bjillion like sum ppl. plus, it fits the plot bcuz ur on a pilgrimage to save the world. i highly doubt that the locals would take light of the fact that you're wandering around while ppl r dying of sin however often the du. yes, in terms of ffvi and ffvii, it's relatively simple. ffvii did have the best cast, ffvi the best villian, ffvi and ffvii the best aesthetic. and i don't see how suteki da ne is a piano score. duz any1 feel the same way, or am i alone on this?
