slight error, regardless, i think it's just a mix of proto's version and the person who said to do it by console, we can call it a compromise if you will.

I-III
IV
others stay the same
With the rerelease of IV for GBA this makes sense. Of course, III may be coming out for DS eventually, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Proto's idea is good, if not for the problem Doomie stated.
I don't see why Sean needs to approve this. We've added/removed forums without his permission before.

All in all, it's whatever Cid agrees with.
Hello Pika Art by Dr Unne ~~~ godhatesfraggles
My vote now changes to piper. Yes, I am very fickle when it comes to such things
That's pauper.
And I'm glad someone took some recognition to it, I think it works better than the other two system as it allows a better dividing branch for future games, where as, as soon as the next gen consoles are released, we can add the next generation category for the new games. Therefore, we also add a time line from the late 80's all the way to present.
While I agree with Marick's naming idea (First Generation, Second Generation, etc), I don't think it should be done with subcatgories for a start as that would only add to the mess, nor do I agree with having categories for three games. I say we go with Proto's three categories, but have them named First Generation, Second Generation, and then, to save on predictability of "Misc" or "Other", we can go with the correct answer, which is obviously "Yes".
Also, with the ever-increasing likelihood of re-released of the earlier FF's, I think that making it FFI-III and FFIV would defeat the purpose of splitting up those forums. Even if they aren't re-released, I still think they all deserve their own forum. Having a whole lot of games in one forum doesn't make people start threads about the other games than what they're playing any faster. The only difference is that it adds to confusion. I see no benefit whatsoever when it comes to keeping the early FF's together.
EDIT: I've raised this up in the Staff Forum, so now we can just wait and see.

the only problem with proto's system is that not all the games were released under the same generations applied in old school and new schoold. There are 2 game systems for each old and new schools. I dunno, I guess I don't mind 3 forums in a category.
Yes, but with nearly all the games now (or soon to be) covering multiplatform, that doesn't really matter anymore.

Sadly, people like to assume any 3-D game is new-school...
I'm only making the divide when the change of graphics were made.
Notice the difference from FFVI to FFVII
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Yeah, anyone who can't see that the change between VI and VII is the significant one when it comes to the FF series needs their [something] checked.
Also, the proposal is using "First Generation" and "Second Generation", not "New School" and "Old School", so yeah.

Split them up by whether they're Sony generation or Nintendo generation. And add a misc. one for the rest.
EDIT: I noticed you said practically the same thing, BoB. Oh well.
I would like to suggest, if the change is made, that FFVII: Advent Children be movied to Misc., since it's not a playable sequel to FFVII.
That won't happen given that if we seperate the VII forums in such a way, it would only lead to a constant string of redirected threads in the VII forum. It's also just messy. Once you come down to it, VII:AC is just an extended FMV sequence to do with the same story, anyway.
