Why a lot of fans don't like this game *SPOILERS*

[Vivisteiner]

1. Music

Answer: Sure, the music was weaker than Nobuo's. But I liked many other themes in it. Not up to Nobuo's high standard, but still decent enough.

2. Random battles

Answer: Random battles are less enjoyable to the battle system of FFXII IMO. Sure, they're fun as well, but the fluidity is just not the same. Im sure a lot of people will agree with me. FFXII's battle system is the best in any Final Fantasy.

3. Love stories

Answer: Who needs love? Sure, emotion is important and I felt that FFXII was lacking that, but love? A waste. FFVIII had crappy, unrealistic love. The love in other games was mostly genuine(even if cliched), but I dont follow your argument that love is necessary. If anything, the love stories were getting stale. I think the political nature of FFXII freshened things up considerably. And no, the love stories didnt make any FF game apart from perhaps FFVIII. And that love was complete .

4. Im not even gonna copy that down.

Answer: There is something called intelligence. And if you follow a story carefully enough, you'll understand it. Maybe not completely first time, but if you replay it, more and more of the pieces fit. And, as I know all too well, the story does make perfect sense. Sure, the character developement is lacking, but what is really interesting is the politics. The individual wills of the key figures in Archadia, Rozarria and Dalmasca and how they clash. You can pick these up with subtle references without them being spelt out to you like in FFX. (Dont get me wrong, I love that game). Although I do wish there had been a few extra cutscenes just to add a few extra elements to the story. Anyway, I thought the story was good.

If I came across as rude its because Im sick of the endless topics of infantile bashing.


One thing Im worried about the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Im Nomura sick. But still, he's good at making plots (even if I dont much like his character designs). Lets hope he doesnt disappoint.

If you're curious as to my opinions...

FFIX: 100/100
FFX = FFXII: 95/100
FFVII = 93/100
FFVIII = 89/100

I would give FFIX more if I could. Because the other four game combined aren't as good as it.
