Thread: FFIV IS bollocks!

  1. #1

    Unhappy FFIV IS bollocks!

    Ok I have a problem with this game.

    Probably because I started with the later games.

    The battle system pisses me off, 5 people is too much.

    And the plot has annoyed me, it doesn't seem very interesting and Golbez is possibly the worst villian ever.

    I would like to enjoy this game, should I start playing from where I left off or should I just give up on it now?

    It pisses you off because five people are in the party? That seems... well, really dumb. Sorry. Is it too strenuous to select a command for one more person? Not to mention that you rarely have all five slots filled until the end of the game.

    Either play it or dont. I think it's one of the best RPGs ever, and it has a wonderful story. Golbez is a great villian. But if you dont like it, dont play it.

    Having five people is what made it great. I always find that in games where you can choose your party, the characters you don't use get pushed back in terms of personality, as they don't frequently get a say in things.
    Also, Golbez was a freakin' awesome villain, it's just so tragic that he wasn't (SPOILER)truly responsible for his actions.

    I will do this. Nothing in my life matters except this. No moment in my life exists except this moment. I am born in this moment, and if I fail, I will die in this moment.

    If you don't like the game, then I guess you may as well not play it, in my opinion.

    the only annoying thing is the huge number of random battles, but the characters and the whole story are awesome, it comes right behind VI and VII in my hitlist!

    Give it a try or trash it if you don't like it, its your decision...

    I dont like it much eaither. I thought Golbez was a crap villain. Maybe he was considered cool when the game first came out but the whole mind controlled brother thing is just corny if you ask me. I didnt like the battle system. It was orbably class in its time but the controls are slow and irritating. The story doesnt seem like anything particularly interesting to me all round. Im at the final boss and have been there for about two years with no real interest in tackling him. Its the sortve game Id play on a gameboy in the car when I have nothing better to do but right now Im just not interested.

    I'd just like to say: Best thread title ever.

    Thanks.

    Give up on it now, and come back to it in a few months when you can't remember anything.

    That's what I did. and now I still don't remember anything^_^

    This game is the best FF because you can have so many characters, and also that you actually care about them because they have a real backstory, and that the story actually moves in various directions.
    This and FF6 are really the Final Fantasy games that could pass for novels all on their own, thanks to their magnificent stories.

    I think it's just a matter of taste. I love that game and I suggest that you try to beat it , but don't force yourself if you think it's crap. Videogames are made for amusement, not for making you angry. Just for curiosity, where are you currently in the game?

    Why is it that whenever someone dislikes a Final Fantasy game they feel compelled to make a thread about it? If you don't like it, don't play it. There are people who do enjoy it and whining about it isn't serving much of a purpose.
