Of course, as a nasty side effect, we will now have the fuel for many, many more useless debates.

I was a proponent of my own everyone except the children died theory. Don't say it doesn't make sense. If you say it, you weren't paying attention. There's countless pieces of dialogue in the game that point to such a conclusion. I still prefer it!

Ent- No kidding. I've seen plenty of fanfics that are better than what Advent Children seems to be shaping into.

Fanfics have ruined sequels

There are good fanfics?

I'm not sure if "bad" was a modifier so much as an intensifier.

Square...PLEASE STOP MAKING FF7 SPINOFFS. Final Fantasy VII was the best game ever made. Please DO NOT spoil that reputation by milking it.

Make the movie and then stop. That's what I think

Killey · Post by **Killey** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 3:06 pm

While I'm not thrilled with all these Spinoff's I'm don't particularly mind that SE is making all of these. At some point in time I'll probably play/watch all of these.

FFVII: AC has a lot of potential and I'm looking foward to its release. The only thing that could ruin FFVII:AC, in my mind, would be the revival of Aeris/Aerith.

it's okay since such a reputation is false

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 4:28 pm

Maybe it's the most influential of all of the Final Fantasies, that I could see an argument for, but not the best..

It does have probably the most memorable scene in all of gaming history though. I don't think anyone who has played it could argue that Aerith dieing is probably the most well-recognized single scene in gaming.

Maybe if you count "Your princess is in another castle"

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 4:32 pm

Aeris sucks. That scene was hardly the most memorable scene in gaming history.

Yes it's one of the most well known scenes but hardly the most memorable.

Yup

People have been wailing and screming for a FFVII sequel for years now.
Square can't please everyone.
Anybody that doesn't want to play the new games or watch the movie can just ignore them.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 5:16 pm

I'd like to poll all of the people who liked VII the most on whether or not they've played VI.

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 5:18 pm

VI and VII are generally tied with FFX-2 in my book, behind VIII, X, and IV respectively.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 5:21 pm

Tied with X-2... that's going to make you a lot of friends, I'm sure.

When have I ever wanted people to like me over my opinion of X-2?

For further information, refer to my signature!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:08 pm

I don't think anybody should count X-2 in their list. No more than Mystic Quest, Tactics and Crystal Chronicles should be there.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:15 pm

Actually john, people here fucking loved X-2 because it's gameplay was like the funnest shit ever.

But I agree with Damien. To me X-2 is a side game.

Redlimit · Post by **Redlimit** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:20 pm

X-2 was enjoyable to play through once. Some of the situations and convorsations in the game were done really well. I especially like when YRP go to see Gippal(??? The head of the Machine Faction anyway, whatever his name is) at the Djose temple. How he makes fun of Rikku because they used to go out, hits on Yuna, and reacts to Paine is classic. Maybe it was just his character that was good...

All that said though, I don't think I would play through it again. Not for a loooooooong time anyway.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:21 pm

Gippal owned.

zsquared · Post by **zsquared** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:36 pm

Yeah, X-2 was probably a one playthrough game, but it was definately enjoyable thanks to moments like that.

VII is still probably my favorite, and yes, I have played all the ones before and after it. VI probably comes a close second. IV was the first I ever played though.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 8:47 pm

I have played every Final Fantasy from the main series. I have not BEAT all of them, but I have played them.

The ones I have beaten are IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X. I'm not bothering with I-III or V because I think they suck.

And VII is still my favorite FF.

But amazingly enough, thanks to Doom, VIII has actually risen in ranks. THANK YOU DOOM!

Redlimit · Post by **Redlimit** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 9:09 pm

Its worth it to play the first three at some point. They aren't as caveman style as you may expect. As an added bonus, knowing what you know now from later FF games, each one should only take you about 10 hours to beat.

You would be amazed at how many things have stayed the same, even from FFI. So many of the enemy designs and spells are exactly the same even now.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 9:45 pm

Yeah.

I hate V with a passion though. I can't stand any of that game.

zsquared · Post by **zsquared** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 10:01 pm

I only played I and II in thier Origins remakes. Probably would have never played them otherwise. I have tried III, but never got too far into it.

I think it took me about 12 hours to beat FFI in normal mode, so yeah, not a long game. Worth playing at least once.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 10:09 pm

no Brother is obviously the best FF character ever

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 10:25 pm

rofl I was about to post a crazy Brother quote from ffx-2 but I forgot what brother said.

Brother was by far the funniest in ffx-2.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 10:26 pm

Probably "I'm a fag" ;{

Have a nice day

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 10:27 pm

or "I'm a dancing flaming homosexual who enjoys incest"?

zsquared · Post by **zsquared** » Wed Sep 29, 2004 10:29 pm

he so wanted to bwn yuna though.

I used to hate V, then I played the living hell out of it and now I'm kind of indifferent to it.

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 12:11 am

FF V is clearly the worst game ever. I could barely finish it once, I never want to play it again. How they could include that trash instead of III, which is actually decent..

The only good part of V was when Gilgamesh thought he had Excalibur.

Redlimit · Post by **Redlimit** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 12:25 am

Yeah that was classic.

Gilgamesh: "Now I will show you true unstoppable power! Feel the wrath of Excalibur!"
*Gilgamesh attacks for 1 HP damage*

/win

Patchingko · Post by **Patchingko** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 1:02 am

Gilgamesh and his theme song were the only good parts of that game, really.

That and the sheer lameness of the endboss being a friggin tree.

Garbo · Post by **Garbo** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 1:30 am

I thought Brother was awesome in FFX-2

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 1:32 am

u would

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 1:32 am

Gilgamesh is always great

Still, he wasn't enough to save FF V from being the worst game ever.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Thu Sep 30, 2004 1:36 am

you don't play alot of games, do you :3

I actually liked FF2 for what it was... it wasn't all that bad. FF V was just such a drastic step back from IV...

I dunno about that, FFV's job system was a lot more fun to battle with. Graphics were better...uhh...what else. Music was still pretty good.
