FFVIII: first of all, the whole moody bishonen thing who blossoms into a decent individual has been done to death for over twenty years. Squall's development didnt even make sense, are we supposed to believe this guy, who's been in a social coma for more than a decade, has the skills to be a motivational speaker, military tactician, diplomatic representative, and kind to all creatures great and small? rinoa was the original slut, seifer, Edea, and Ultimecia are the Apotheosis of lame villains, none of the main characters save for squall and Rinoa (the least likeable ones at that), got any development outside of Disk 1. Ugh, that game was a storytelling train wreck.

FFX-2: Okay, this meeting of the script writers for FFX-2 will now come to order. In the last game Yuna went from sacrificial lamb to learning how to live, to loosing her greatest love and becoming a world leader from that tradgedy, and given the responsibility of teaching all of spira, who also lost their religion and way, a new way of living. So what are we gonna do with her now? Why were gonna strip all her clothes off, turn her into a pop star, remove nearly all the gravatis and pathos from the ending and put in ALOT of fey bishonen and slutty outfits. Not to mention squall is guest starring in drag, which remarkably makes him look a bit more masculine now that he's off the mascara. It'll be a hit I tell you.

Ugh, looking back Im seeing the decline of a once great franchise. Thanks a padload Nomura! :rolleyes2
Stop clinging to the pathetic past and move on. They're not making the games for YOU. It's their game, it's their story, they did what they wanted to do, some people like it, others hate it, that's life.

-FF VII to me IS the worst FF in the PlayStation era, no interesting animation, lame soundtrack, OK materia system which gets annoying and unorganized, LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME ending, I want a COMPLETE ending, I don't want some lame FMV. Just goes to show you that people alot of times just cling to the past as if it was that great.

anyway, I'm tired of TITANIC-based endings which have been done to DEATH as you say. FF NEEDED a happy and loving ending, Yuna deserved to find Tidus, it all felt good.
