I didn't intend that. I know it came off that way, but I swear, I'm not here to cause problems. I'm here to express an opinion and see if anyone else agrees. If my intent was what you've stated, my goal would most certainly be to cause problems.Originally Posted by NM
Nah, I didn't play FF in 1987 because I think that FF1 was released in 1989. But I didn't actually play it till 1993, see:So because you played Final Fantasy back in 1987 immediatly makes you better at all RPG's does it?
And note that FFII SNES was the first one I played, not FF1.
No, I just tire of what RPGs have become. It used to be such that only the intellectual types could play them because they were too difficult for the mainstream video game crowd. For example, no one in 1994 would've said "OMG CECIL IS TEH BOMB111!!!" because RPGers back then didn't talk like that. We used more civil means of expressing ourselves. People frequently talk this way about current FF characters such as Auron, Yuna, Rikku, Tidus, Sephiroth, Cloud, Squall, and so forth. Perhaps now you'll see people talking that way about Cecil, Terra, and the older characters, but you didn't see it back then. And not just because the internet wasn't around, but because of the people who appreciated the games. If someone was intelligent enough to actually play and understand Final Fantasy 1, they were far too intelligent to say something "FIGHTERS R TEH SH*T!!!". And now it's become so that any moron can play and understand these games that were once a status symbol of our sophistication. It's like when Mel Gibson played Hamlet in 1989. A disgrace to high class.Going by your logic then. I've been playing beat 'em ups since 1991 which means i'm better at all beat 'em ups have faster reactions and better timing than someone who's only played the later Tekken games. And further more I demand they acknowledge my superiority over them!!
Hehehehe. I can certainly say that I wish this were so. I've often dreamed of living in such a world, however, I doubt it will come to pass, and I can live with that just fine. Too much authority is nothing but trouble, so I'd rather not rule anything.Stop talking rubbish and pull your head out your own fantasy world where you rule supreme.
I know gaming has changed, and I accept that. A lot of good has come from the evolving games. I hate to admit it, but I did enjoy GTA: VC. And that game could not exist on NES because the concept just wouldn't work with the graphics (and legal limitations) available in the late 80's/early 90's.If you havn't noticed gaming's changed quite abit since 1987. Production teams now have hundreds of people working on games, they cost more to develop, market, publish and distribute. Heaven forbid a company like Square-Enix make's some money from there product. As long as you feel like the King of all RPG players.
And I am remarkably pleased with all of Square-Enix's titles, and I thought I made that clear. I like FF8-FF10, but I feel that 7 was the last great one. That doesn't make the later titles bad. It just makes them not as good. Trying to measure up to a spectular thing such as FF7 is a lofty goal that I knew FF8 wouldn't meet, even before it came out. Just because so much was riding on FF8 to pass up expectations. So because of that, I was sure the game wouldn't be as good. And I was right.
However, I also thought the same about FF7 when it was coming out, but I was wrong.
Heh. I don't believe that I am more intelligent than anyone specifically. I said that there's a group of people who could never beat a game like FF1 NES because they don't have the patience or intellect to do it. I am better than those people, and there are many of them. But just because someone hasn't beaten FF1 doesn't mean that they couldn't perhaps they haven't tried yet. Perhaps if they did, it would be no problem, but they can't because they don't own an NES, which most people don't these days.just because you completed Final Fantasy on the NES dosn't make you smarter than someone who hasn't.
And when you said:
I believe you meant "you're" (as in "you are") rather than "your" (possesive).Your just making yourself look like an ignorant fool
Reasonable mistake. I've done it myself many times. It's just one of my stupid OCD-esque pet peeves.
Again, please don't think I'm insulting or degrading anyone specifically. I have nothing against you all, but I want you to know that when S-E made their games easier, they lowered the RPG standards and "cast Mel Gibson to play Hamlet".
Feion
