So true. It's fine to have your opinion but if you don't have anything constructive to say then don't say it. Also honestly the purist or "real fans" I find to be the worst. As they always basically say the same things about the same games; most notably FF VI, VII, and IX. Now they're great games but so are games…

It's looking like each of the armours will be equivalent to paradigms from previous games. So one will be a melee type another magic, another defensive, ect. Although I hope they go beyond the five paradigms we've seen before and do something nice and cool. Although to me it's looking cool and at least varied.

Then no NPC's and stores were really annoying. I noticed it heavily when you got to the Casino like place with Sazh and Vanille and you could basically do nothing but run from point A to B... it's sad when you can play a FF on mute and not lose anything...

Honestly I didn't think of it until I saw the trailer myself despite knowing about this for so long. As it looks like the weapons or at least Paldron type armors will change too.

I never really understood the issue with linearity Most JRPG's are linear and most final fantasy games only really give you to illusion of choice and branches. However honestly a trully non-linear Final Fantasy game hasn't really existed since IX. I mean X had no overworld and really very little need to backtrack…

Lightning fights like Erza from the manga and anime Fairy Tail cool.

This seems the most logical explanation for me. I think the massive Versus delays is the fact their taking the Versus art assets and transferring them over to FF XV and remaking the game using the Luminous Engine (the Agni's Prophecy one) as a next generation Final Fantasy game which they have confirmed they have in…

and it begins again... Final Fantasy article and the trolls and purists are out in full force... wish it would all just stop and enjoy the games.

Check this out.

I've always wanted to go to a Tales of Festival they seem like alot of fun. Also from friends who've been there while living in Japan they said the exact same things regarding the most popular characters. How the fangirls really shine there as it were.

I was thinking the same thing this is a game I have a feeling that would suffer alot from just higher resolution textures. A full on remake on the other hand would be amazing.

I actually enjoyed Fable II as much as lost chapters but damn Fable III sucked luckly I got it for free for a promotion when I got a year of Xbox Live, the other three games were Halo: Reach (already had), Kinektimals, and another Kinect Game. I still regret not getting a second copy of Reach lol.

Man I love weddings in aSoIaF... always so eventful.

Man in Starcraft 2 rage quits are so common. The worse part is when they rage quit then message you after the game and keep pestering you. Then 9/10 when you offer to 1v1 them again or for the first time in team games they almost never play.

Yes because when you are talking about localization only one market matters and that is North America. Sorry to say but Europe due to its multiple languages are an after thought for JRPG's it's also because its in general a smaller market. So when your talking about localization of course the only numbers that…

I've made that argument several times in this thread actually its around here with numbers and such. Honestly most people dont really understand the business of video games and judge everything by feelings which is really bad.

In North America sales numbers of all multiplatform JRPG's with the exception of Final Fantasy (which can easly be explained by its historic attachment to Sony platforms) has basically been the exact same. In fact Star Ocean: The Last Hope sold 60,000 more units on the 360. Eternal Sonata sold the exact same on both…

Tales of games I've found in arguing my points this week in North America always hover between 200,000-300,000 this generation I believe it has something to do with the Anime style graphics stigma often attached to these games. Also they tend to review poorly in all but RPG and JRPG centric websites.

Actually the reason Graces F and the 3DS version of Tales of the Abyss came over was because new management took over the handling of Tales when Namco Bandai absorbed the Tales Studio (which was cause due to its insane debt load). With new management came a new outlook regarding sales figures and they decided to test…

Actually again if you knew the numbers you'd see your Tales of Symphonia a decade ago point is even more factually incorrect as its been said a few times around here but needs to be said again. Tales of Symphonia is the most popular Tales of game in the West.
