I love FFX, it is probably my favorite Final Fantasy game. That said, I could never get more than an hour or two into FFXIII. I sort of understand the comparisons on a superficial level, but am not sure they are entirely justified

Just posted about that. Very surprising for my western sensibilities. FFV never really stood out to me storywise or characterwise, but if you brewed me a pot of coffee I could probably write out a relatively complete synopsis of both FFIV and FFVI.

What I find to be most interesting is that the most remembered Super Famicon Final Fantasy game is FFV which wasn’t even released on the system in the US. Probably just my personal nostalgia talking, but I’ve played it and thought it was pretty good but not nearly as memorable character or story wise as FFIV or FFVI,…

I’m confused. When Paul Niemeyer goes into public restrooms, do the people there expose themselves to him on a regular basis? He seems to believe that people are flashing each other in the bathroom or something. Which has never happened to me. Generally people are at a stall or, at worst, a urinal and I’d generally…

I sadly become more and more skeptical the more information we get

Ok, calm down.

The weirdest part is that all these articles are popping up on the day the game is released.

Anyway one of its most crucial sounds was made by a beer bottle.

And this guy is probably the reason you likely have never seen a foreskin in person

Yes, the important thing is the cheese and the grease when it comes to foods that are good for hangovers

Just thinking recently about saving up to build my first dedicated gaming PC and starting to research.

I hope you’ll agree that getting developers to think “What if this were a girl?” rather than assuming a male default is a very good thing for gaming.

I never really thought of X as linear, but I suppose there are sections that fit that bill before you get the airship. At the same time, X has way more off the beaten path things to explore than XIII did along with a better plot, battle mechanics and characters. I’m not entirely sure it fits in the same category as…

Actually, take the women out and it reminds me of this:

Final Fantasy XV = Xenoblade + White Knight Chronicles + Zelda..ish

FF became a hit due to turn based battles, good stories and big cinematic. Keep doing THAT and you’ll have no issues.

Didn’t they both originally have genderless protagonists? In FFIIIs case the remake established one of the characters as being a woman

FFX was that last good FF single player game, they’ve tried too much experimentation after that and fucked up the series.

The problem is that they have really struggled to modernize. Like they understand that the series has to evolve along with games as a whole, but they keep making weird decisions about how to do that and often just sort of force gaming fads into FF with really mixed results. Final Fantasy hasn’t really felt like Final…
