I would be lying if I said I didn't see a form of decline in the franchise, but I can't help but wonder... is Final Fantasy XIII actually a failure? It is perhaps indicative of a loss in direction. Graphical splendour and a deep environment over actually enjoyable game play and engaging story delivered in a engaging…

Losing? I think that Final Fantasy 1 through 4 was mostly building that quality. Turmoil started to creep in from Final Fantasy 7 through 10, after which quality declined (or rather there was no quality growth and a loss of focus). By now, I won't say that the series has that universal quality it once had, be that on…

Oh, if you like Star Ocean, you can hardly go wrong with any Tales. So yes, I'd recommend it.

Wouldn't hold your breath for that to happen... I just went ahead and bought a Japanese version. So damn them to hell if they announce it any time soon, I don't want to spend another €60,-!

It's kinda hart to tell with Kotaku... which is pretty troubling I guess. But given its Mike I reckon he is just jesting. Now... if someone else made this article *Cough*...

Well... last I heard they were making a steady profit, year after year. So I'm not that amazed... it just goes to show that if you budget well and know your customer you can run a successful publisher without needing an outlandish high amount of sales.

... I don't have a Wizard Edition, but I do have an untouched normal edition. And soon I'll have Xillia as well, while I'm currently maxing out Final Fantasy XIII and P3P. Yeah, I quite like JRPGs as well... but the time man, where do I get the time to finish them all?!

Uh... you have quite a way to go still.

Last I checked, communication required two, not one. So how you seem to think that all responsibilities lies with the one and not the other is beyond me. It is a ridiculous notion.

Inferior as in less than or bellow, which is exactly what women are when compared to men regarding upper body strength. Do I literally have to chew every thing before you can digest it?

I like the game (There's just parts I don't like). To such a degree that I went ahead and pre-ordered it (I don't do that often, I don't like it). So you're in the wrong place, entirely!

Should I also not breath because I do not like car pollution?

Oh, I did, I did my friend!

I would cringe at the boob-plate.

I admit, I didn't expect you to be that idiotic.

Objecting to objectification will result in means of expression being shunned rather than misogyny being shunned. In that way it'll limit freedom and liberty and not attain any thing.

Thanks, but seems I'm out of time to edit that.

Objectification is not inherently misogynistic, it is impossible for it to be so, since objectification is a manner in which a misogynistic philosophy can be expressed. It is not a philosophy of and in itself.

As far as I can tell... the representation of women in video games is not caused by misogyny. But rather finds its basis in economics and complacency. I wish it wasn't thrown around so casually in these conversations... or perhaps dull attempts at conversations is more apt.

Only some Android devices can take a hit. Lets not pretend that all of them where build to last...
