NO final fantasy 1-6 is not at all romantic in the slightest. Its kids stuff. So and so likes so and so. The relationships fail to impress me at all. 7 has crushes more than it had love...The love story takes place for the characters at like age 7 or some low age ....haha thats real . Cloud goes off to soldier and the world gets F-ed and the 2 happen to get re-united. Where as they have feelings for eachother from being friends long ago and they inherit some attraction when they reunite...I dont think I would call it love. They really dont get together at the end and it is basically childs love again. Made for a child to see and interpette as so and so loves so and so and really the game player hadnt a clue on what real love was. A gril with big boobs the attractive one in the game hooked up with the main character to build intetrest. They never really hook up at the end or are never really anything beyound good friends.
FF-9 the whole game looks like a childs game including the characters. I dont take too much of it seriously as far as relating adult themes. Such as a mature experienced truthfull love between 2 adults. Real love that lasts. they look about like 8....Its more of an adventure and crush than it has to deal with love ...
I cant think of any ture love in final fantasy except for ff-10.
However ff-7 was very passionate over areths death I dont think that 7 really showed reasons for love or actions that showed true love. Just because you say something is red it doesnt mean tthat it was painted that way. Just because cloud get emo over her death to try to show his past feelings and present feelings crashing in...there is actually little justification or realiisitc revelance to that strong of feelings in actuall game play. So it fails. Simply playing the game with some one in your party doesnt cut it enough to establish any real relationship.The chessy lines that a 4 year old can pick up on and manipulate as love just dont do it for me.
ff-8 I wont go there its there I guess
ff-10 had so much feeling and concern ...I didnt see any real concern in 7 or any other. It was more like the characters relating to you saying this sucks...because you lost a party memmeber and the game creators knew you were bumbed so the characters were programmed for a momment to reflect on the poorly developed and un=presonalized character that had been lost and that never really had a personall conncetion established strongly in game play besides a few chessy suggestive lines.
Ff-10 offered extra scenes in the game where they bonded. You didnt feeel a close conncetion with characters simply because they were in your party. ff-10 had many videos of tidus and yuna bonding , its showed major concern and passion in what they said and in the videos. It was far superior in character development and so on. It didnt hang on to a chessy emo character like cloud with indentity problems so that all other characters including the ones playing the game could extra easily know all about the main character and relate to him right away in a boring and straight forward dull waqy. Most of ff-7 was cloud being emo complaining about sephriopth and himself. It was a one side coin that was well rotten.
FF-10 offers realsim in many elements. It gets inside everyones head not just the main character unlike 7. It makes it more presonall to the characters than yourself unlike 7. It isnt just like loosing a party memmber and being angry that you waisted time training that party member to high levels. Its not like in ff-7 where there is an honorbale mention of 2 chessy lines that the character is gone now. All the characters react in a our dramatic and realistic way in 10. A change in the story when aeris dies in 7 and they have one scene just to spice up the change and then through hours of game play there is no real mention of it , or personall grief from the characters is pretty lame and dull.
FF-10 did a great job keeping it real and it did an excellent job holding the momment and feelings that characters had for realistic durrations of time. It did far better than to have one momment of mention of its deeper concepts and then to have you running across the world map for hours cut off from all realistic characters..FF-10 didnt separate you from the characters and there own personall feelings ff-7 did. FF-7 didnt even do a good job developing those personall feelings to begin with. It was more about look at my cool sword and dress code and look how [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]ty our world is and how it has dorked me in particullar....that and they were all basically I CAN BE EMO TOO !!!!
