Things you hate about FF

[feioncastor]

i don't hate,just find quite troublesome,the loading times of ffvi.
Also ,the difficulty of it.But,it is one of the reasons it is my best ff (not the loading times )

I'd first like to state that you're right, FFVI is the best of the numbered series (I personally FFT more than 6, but meh).

However, you should note that FF6 didn't always have those horrendous loading times. You see, way back in the 90's, FF6 was actually a Super Nintendo game called "Final Fantasy III". On the SNES, the game had very quick load times. I'm guessing the load times were similar if you played the game on the Super Famicom, perhaps even identical.

I do own Final Fantasy Anthology (the one that 5 and 6), but I don't play it much. I beat 6 once just to get the bonus features unlocked, but I haven't even bothered beating 5. I got very far in it, I think, but I haven't played in about 2 or 3 years.

So what you should do is get a copy of Final Fantasy III for the Super Nintendo (if you own a Super Nintendo, that is).

Oh, and if you don't own a Super Nintendo, get one of those. It is seriously a way cooler system than the PS2, the Xbox (360 or otherwise) and the GameCube.




Now, on topic:

Hmmmmmm.... Things I hate about FF games... Well, I hate that they continue making them when they don't have a good game to work with. Seriously, the gameplay of 1-7 was catchy and fun, but after that, I think they stopped trying to make cool gameplay, and focused solely on pretty graphics.

Graphics don't make the game. Britney's Dance Beat has excellent graphics, but it is a terrible game. Graphics are suppposed to support the gameplay, you know? Tetris is a fine example. It's fun and catchy, and the graphics haven't changed much over the last 20 years. But it's still fun and catchy. It's because of the gameplay. The graphics are simply there to support the gameplay.

Recently, it seems that manufacturers have focused more on graphics than on gameplay because good graphics tend to sell games these days. I couldn't tell you why, though.

FFX would've made a fine movie. I would've seen it in a movie theater a few times before it was out, and then, I'd buy it on DVD. However, it did NOT make a good game because the game play was obscure. Originality is cool, but come on, the freaking Sphere Grid? Seriously, who the hell smoked a huge bag of weed and then was like, "Hey, guys, how about instead of giving exp to gain stats... What if we gave them balls? What if we gave them balls they had to put in this big ugly thing that we'll call a grid even though the word grid doesn't effectively describe the pattern we'll form? What if we did that? Yeah, but then we'll totally hire a few guys to make Lulu have big boobs, and then everyone will like it."

They were right, by the way.

(SPOILER)Lulu does, in fact, have big boobs. And I like them.
