You just can't, alright! Try to Xbox Live Gold later!

They still share some common threads either thematically, or more loosely. Mystic Quest has none of the series' hallmarks.

FFVI is an absolute treasure of a game so if you don't get a chance to play it there I full advise finding a way to play it through some other means. :-)

Agreed. I enjoyed Mystic Quest! Even if it only had the Final Fantasy label slapped onto it and has little to nothing to do with the series as a whole. It was still pretty fun, even if it was a bit jRPG lite.

Double post, eek.

I have no love for FFXIII, though FFXIII-2 did a bit to endear that world to me a bit more, it still doesn't change my feelings for its predecessor.

Ogre Battle was a complete Quest-Atlus joint. However Square, in 2002, purchased Quest and acquired the rights to the series. They brought back Matsuno to give Tactics Ogre a pseudo-remake, but other than that and a release of the original game on mobile, they've been sitting rather firmly on the series.

It's definitely focused on TAY. FFIV itself is one of the best SNES jRPGs in existence and has for itself a wide acclaim. TAY's problem is that it recycles all of that and doesn't build on it in any meaningful way. I didn't hate it like Jason did, but I didn't find myself exactly loving it, either.

It's hardly my own feeling. And while they have a core base of people that will love anything they do, many more of us are frustrated by their direction. As for their sales figures they continually fall below even their own expectations so by their own metric they aren't living up to what they feel they should be.…

After some more thought I just have to ask, what the hell is with Square and their insistence on developing sequels to games that no one wants and that no one asked for? I understand that they had 'some' success by doing so with FFVII but, even though I didn't hate TAY, I didn't especially love it either. It doesn't…

I didn't find TAY to be all that bad. Mostly forgettable, sure, but I thought it went as well as it could have for a concept that probably didn't need to exist.

Man, don't make me **** you up for this **** opinion! (love, good)

It's pretty much what you're supposed to do. Personally, unless you own the place yourself or unless it's a small family establishment of which you know and are on good terms with the owner(s), I never saw reason why anyone would stop a would-be robber. I'm not about to give my life to some corporation that probably…

Porn, depending on the state, is perfectly legal. It'd be more like if the camera company made their camera extremely affordable, marketed them towards children, then told those children to make porn?

As much as I love the earth opening up and those dudes suspended there, and as much as I love their heavenly ascension, as much as my face goes O_O when the ship itself arises, my favorite part of the video is still the the very end where Kenway just hops on up to said ship as if it were no big deal. If ever there was…

Man I just don't trust Little Timmy now! Not after what he's seen. There's no coming back from that!

Have you ever seen the look in little Timmy's eyes, man? He's crazy!

If the laptop and webcam company make it incredibly easy to access the illegal content that others are posting live, sure. YouTube is also a bad example as that is, by and large, fairly well regulated.

No, I got it. You're saying it's our responsibility as individuals to not view that content. Which sadly, isn't true. The responsibility is on Twitch and Sony as they are the one offering up the ability to broadcast these illegalities. While we certainly can turn a blind eye to it that doesn't change the fact that…

Wait until people start killing themselves on live TV before you start to justify the use of technology as a means of self-expression. I'm sorry I don't live in the candy coated world you want us all to live in. People can and will do things to justify outrageous behavior.
