FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus (PS2)

Still waaay too early to pass judgement on this game. It will sell like crack regardless of what it turns out to be. Hopefully trailers and gameplay footage will come out soon. I have to say that I'm intrigued to say the very least.

Garbo · Post by **Garbo** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 3:39 am

Trailers and gameplay vids are already over at IGN, I'm quite sure. It's funny, I have absolutely no interest in checking it out.

What happened to all the delightful little fanboys I've come to know and love? Have you all become jaded? I sware if this were an FF8 character you'd all be creaming your pants... if only FF8 had any characters worth continuing with. Vincent's an awesome character, and I at least have some degree of faith in Square to still be able to make a decent game. This one could suck, but it could also be fucking fantastic. How about we wait until we play it to decide?

You little jerks piss me off sometimes.

Garbo · Post by **Garbo** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 6:02 am

I never mentioned any hate to it

I just said that I felt no interest in it so I won't be checking out anymore media on this unless I hear good impressions of it.

Besides, at the moment, it kinda looks like crap.

Remember when alot of SG hated FFVIII and praised FFVII? But then it reversed as people and times changed. Fanboys suck, I don't hate either game, but FFVIII simply didn't impress me. IX's world was cool, but its risky direction didn't interest me, and after FF SW and Square's spin off's, I became less and less interested.

What is this, double the fun?

fire2ash · Post by **fire2ash** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 6:28 am

sorry

haha

I haven't read through all of the topic, but does DoC use set cameras? It sort of looks like it from the pictures.

Maybe you're thinking of one of the other forums... this website's community always had a large number of FF8 lovers, which was weird because the rest of the greater Internet nerd community endlessly hated on it. Probably because this website was kind of founded in FF8 fandom.

I remember specifically how hated it was and probably still is at FFO, though, for example.

Another shameless attempt to promote Megaten. Get this game and wait for Dirge.

Are you kidding? I would be even more harsh on the game if that were the case. I'm just glad FFVII is the only one that leaves its self wide open for crap like this.

People are mad right now because the last original thing SE made was FFX. Everything since then has been pretty damn high on the re-hash-o-meter. Even FFXI is just made up of elements from every FF game and mashed together and put online.

There has not been any original content from SE in like 2 years, where we have been used to seeing original content every year in the past.

That is my problem with games like this.

That was what my last post originally said, but in a much blunter manner... I got rid of it so as not to fan the flames though.

I would think it even gayer if it were FFVIII characters.

Actually, I can distinctly remember a lot of FF VIII hate during the beginning of me posting at Squaregamer, and I hung out pretty much solely in Game Discussion. However, things started to turn when some people made some awesome threads on FF VIII, especially t-storm's monster thread. I think then the FF VIII fanboys knew it was safe to come out of the woodwork, and as the VII people sort of dispersed, the righteous group took over

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 4:54 pm

I remember when someone posted a "FFIX sucks thread" about a month after its release, where everyone that wasn't HK started lashing out on it.

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 5:12 pm

I'm sorry, but other than the visuals at the time, FF IX really didn't come off well.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 5:17 pm

I liked FFIX when it came out, but it really isn't better than VIII (after finding out I like it

) and X. The laggy battle system (as been said before) is the cause of this.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 7:02 pm

IX is nowhere near VIII but it has a lot of things going for it that not many people seem to appreciate, unfortunately. I remember the "FFIX is underrated" thread where mattdb was defending himself against an onslaught of FFIX haters... or rather, mattdb haters.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 7:05 pm

rofl mattdb.

FFIX BROUGHT BACK CHARM IN FF

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 7:06 pm

lol matt

I think I helped defend it. I like FFIX still, I'm no FFIX hater.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 7:07 pm

Seriously though, FFIX had a lot that was good about it. If I had to rate the game solely based on Disc 1, my opinion of it would be extremely high.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 7:14 pm

So would I... if the game had only been disk 1 and charged as such. Or if the game was as good as disk1 throughout the whole thing.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 7:17 pm

Wait, his name was mattd6, not mattdb D: My brain seriously been deep-fried this past week.

well b and 6 almost look the same rite

Redlimit · Post by **Redlimit** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 7:19 pm

FFIX. Well - its the only FF game I have ever sold off. I think that speaks volumes. Yes, I completed every subquest, got every weapon, everyone to max level, defeated Ozma....but I have no desire to play through it ever again.

It had its moments, but what made it bad was that it was such a huge step backwards from FFVIII (and even FFVII) that it was hard to swallow. That, and its pretty obvious that since they were working on IX and X at the same time, that most of the talent went to X. FFIX was a rehash of older FF games only they somehow managed to screw even that up. Horrid battle system, story that gets way off track from the interesting parts...

Yeah, I made the right call selling that thing off.

Final Fantasy VII is not the best game ever made, but I agree the spinoff thing is getting out of hand.

I agree with Cid. FFVII is great, but not the greatest game ever made. That would be Tetris (and some of its spinoffs).

Maybe there should be a new Tnet thread.

Not really. As I remember it, compared to other FF-related forums of the time, SG members loved FF8. Most of the people that bashed it came solely for that purpose, and then people like Bio and others around from well before its release went out of their way to tell those people to suck themselves off in another forum somewhere.

I honestly tried to replay FFIX but never made it past the beginning of disc 2... the interest just dies completely after enough time, and the gameplay can't hold it whatsoever.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Mon Oct 04, 2004 5:39 am

Yeah... I always remembered SG as an FFVIII-worshipping place.

Plaztik · Post by **Plaztik** » Mon Oct 04, 2004 8:12 am

I'm trying to replay FFIX for the past year now...i think i'm on disk 2...but i can't remember

for some sort of reason i can never fully remember the story and other elements of FFIX. FFIX amnesia (where's Neptune

)

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Mon Oct 04, 2004 1:29 pm

I don't know about that.. I remember, at least for a little while, the pro-FFVIII community was a little sparse in Game Discussion; people may have liked it, but they didn't speak up about it as much as a few. Maybe it was just there were more n00bs at that time, but generally the arguments for VIII were sparse but better.

Son-kun · Post by **Son-kun** » Mon Oct 04, 2004 7:23 pm

all you have to do is play some crappy RPGs like Legaia 2 or Okage or Persona 2

They make FF9 look fucking golden~

FFX-2 was terrible to the max, so spin-off games officially get zero of my interest from now on.
