Finally, a good Final Fantasy game in a long time

[LunarWeaver]

I'm glad XII is floating a lot of people's boats, but I don't really understand this "Square had lost the magic touch" thing Out of 12 games there's probably going to be ones that you don't like. Some people like them all, but that's rare. Just because you didn't like one doesn't say anything about the series or Square or their magical touchy, and it doesn't really make a statement of the quality of the next title at all.

VI and VII are quite different, as are VIII and IX, X and XI are nothing alike and XII is another rather new thing. There really is no Square-Enix or Final Fantasy magic touch, the teams working on the games are too inconsistent for one title to speak for the future of the series.

Exactly, what a lot of people think is that Square-Enix is a team that create all the FF games but no. Almost each FF is made by a different team so that's why all the FFs are so different.

and with Final Fantasy XIII out in the media now, all of us FF Fanatics can be happy again!!!!

I've been happy with every FF game so far...have you played the one's PRE-FFVII?

Yes I have played, and beaten every FF game except XI, because I am too poor to buy a 360, and XII, because I just bought it 4 days ago. Beaten almost all FF games. I though FF7 was the best, but I think this game just may be the one FF game that may be able to top FF7. Oh god, FF7 freaks, please don't kill me!!!

[Cruise Control]

To bad 7 was mediocre at best. It was only good if it confused you, that way you were too busy thinking to realize how much it sucked.

[skillzboy4]

Why is everybody hating on FFX, ffx to me had the best storyline out of all the FF, but FFXII still beats it with the gameplay n eveything/.

[VengefulRonin]

Yeah really, why so many X haters? o_O I liked that game...i seriously disagree with skillzboy4 about the storyline, i thought it was crap, but X was fun to play. IX is personally my favorite ever, not the most innovative plot but it was a charming game and brought back the whole fantasy feel the series lost with VII. But X-2 was complete and utter crappage, its a disgrace to the series. As for XII...i'm actually disappointed with it. I dont like the licence board thingy too much, i hate buying magic/techniques, the music disappoints.....i effing LOVE the storyline...but thats not gonna save the game if i get so pissed off i throw down the controller every 10 minutes...XIII looks waaaay too futuristic, almost like something from Xenogears or whatever. And they should go back to the old way of leveling and crap, wtf was wrong with it? I dont like this enormous blending of RPG and Action systems...

[Dell]

True. X/X-2 sucked so much!
FFXII rules! I'm going to say that this is better than Suikoden II.

[Squall1989]

FInal Fantasy has always had ups and downs, but the best was 7,8,10,10-2.

But I agree XII blows them all out of the water.

[James16]

I agree with that one dude( forgot the name) ff-7 was jus a crappy game. I didnt understand what was goin on half the time, didnt know where to go or what to do half the time, an oh how shall i say....it was cheesy??? FF-8 wasnt that bad,i enyoed the war seens, an i like FF-X,
to me it was additive, a average long game, an it was fun. But its like i said before FF-XII sends all the other ff games crawling back to there mommies with their heads down an their tails between their legs.

The best were 7,8,10 and 10-2? I don't think so... 3,5,6 and 9 all beat 8 and 10-2 in my opinion. But well, can't say you're wrong to like a game, it depend of the person.

[Jowy]

It's a very bolsterous claim to say something's better than Suikoden II.

It's the first non-remake FF game that I've enjoyed since FFT, and that's a damn high bar to beat.

Dude, WTFH, 10-2 was total crap. I dont know why people say 7 is so effing brilliant either, James16 is right, the game is way confusing and cheesy...and crappy. The old ones definitely beat out VII and VIII too. And why're people always leaving out IX? I love that one.

And i've never played Suikoden II, or the first one...but i hope it doesnt have a licence board >_<

Opinions are delicious.

And yes, it only took them five more years, but they did it. >_> I'm glad. It has Zeromus! =3

[VengefulRonin]

And zeromus looks mothereffing AWESOME...*twitch* i just wish it had Ifrit T_T

But ya know...this game is really good, the storyline is already my favorite and i'm only 12 hours into the game. This game is hard...so i gotta level more, which is a pain, and the battle system makes it worse...but all in all its not too bad.

Zero! You're gonna be proud using Zeromus as your username. He's way too hard to beat , unlike Zalera and Adrammelech.
Not to mention, (SPOILER)You can't use magicks when you're fighting Zeromus, Dark Lord will always attack you, Gravity is an awesome element and he is located in the Stilshrine of Miriam!
