Zidane was actually a good character that developed well in the overall game of FF9 as well, though I'm not sure how much of a spoiler it would be if you don't remember it too well, I'm covering it just in case.

Major spoilers for FF9-don't read if you haven't played through the game.

@ Rose
I better spoiler this up as well

Spoiler for FF9

Describing them as "wussy" was most likely innaccurate, and while I found Zidane and Tidus to be rather interesting and likeable, I can see why people wouldn't like them.

Vann, on the other hand, I found to be very dull and boring. I just never got the impression that there was any real depth there. They should have made Ashe the main character, getting past their own "woman can't be leads" in games. She made a much more entertaining lead. The sad part was that I found myself liking Vann's older brother MUCH more than Vann himself. Though I admit that was probably partly due to the fact that he seemed cuter than Vann =3

[Vash the Flash (#103187)]

yeah, I will say that Blathier and Ashe lead the story in FF12, there was not much in a plot development in that game. Sorry if I miss spelled his blathier's name. It's been a while since I played it.

[Mishie (#105444)]

[cranston (#84421)]

My game heroes are Yuri and Dante

While I did say that Tidus was wussy, he was a good character. His development through the course of the story was done well enough and you can see that he matured. (At least, he learned a bit of stoicism and machismo by the end ) Can't say the same for Zidane, but my memory there's fuzzy.

"Effeminate." I'm reminded of Magna Carta: Tears of Blood. *shudder* There must be some truth in the research given the slew of games with pre-adolescent kids running around saving the world. I guess there's just no helping that given the preferences of the end-users. I just hope they never feminise Snake Oh wait... They did!

Well, at least we can look forward to the next game which will have a female as the main character.

How the hell did this get through my game-dar!?

Final Fantasy IV officially DS-bound

It came out on December 20, 2007..........


Dear Jebus! I want US release! ;-;

[Yenno (#107902)]

I love Final Fantasy. I'm waiting for 13 to com eout. It's still in development.

[yuu (#132588)]

I'm a Final Fantasy Fan~

[SAJ1724 (#132870)]

I like FF games with 4,5 and 8 being my favorites.
The only ones i haven't played are 2 and 3.

I just finished FF: Crisis Core and i thought it was rather boring. The ending was really nice though.

[LoStSouLs (#17272)]

sorry no links to licensed materials.

[angel (#111641)]

I love Final Fantasy the whole reason I got into Video games, the first I played was ffX ffX2, then after that I was hooked

the next one I really want to paly is FFVII crisis core

[EnigmaRemains (#133861)]

Final Fantasy is an amazing series of games. Though unfortunately going downhill now if you ask me. FFX-2 was pathetic compared to X, I didn't have the means to play FFXI and FFXII has a great system, but none of the plot lines compare to that of IV, VI, VII, VIII, and X.

Got into FFIV when I was a kid, and SNES seemed really good graphics (compare to the NES and Commodore 64 I also had) and been hooked since.

Am I the only one who prefers FFVIII to FFVII though?

[Katayoku_No_Tenshi (#130322)]

@Enigma...most likely haha. Nah I know some people that prefer 8 although personally I prefer 7 since it has the most awesome character ever (aka Sephiroth) and the character development was really good bringing in questions such as what defines us and who we are etc. It's also the first game where I've encountered someone sharing the same name as me, Vincent .

The reason I love FF is 'cause it was the first RPG I ever played and as such is kinda the template which I expect all others to follow. Don't get me wrong though, I still love other RPG's, Baldurs Gate II and other Bioware games are of epic standard, but FF just has it all: dope soundtrack, cool character design, good gameplay and dramatic plots. I think the characters are definitely what make an RPG great.

On a side note, how do people feel about XIII being on XBOX now?
(Pour moi, I don't really like it but whatever, I still get to play it at least)

[Stick (#5576)]

[Annûniel (#90354)]

I'm actually a bit relieved by it. I don't think I'd mind quite so much if they hadn't but as I have neither system and I am planning on getting a 360 before a PS3 (for which reasons I won't get into unless someone specifically asks), I'd like to play XIII as soon as possible.

And I always get slightly frustrated with games that are ported solely to one system regardless. I feel like I have to have all the systems to play all the games that I want. I guess that's the whole idea though

[Veleon (#124559)]

If I got my information correctly there will be a difference in the different versions of XIII. The 360 version is supposed to be real time like XII was and the PS3 version is supposed to be more turn based like X.

[Katayoku_No_Tenshi (#130322)]

@Veleon Really? If people haven't looked at videos for FF: Dissidia, you should lolz, but from how they want to make the combat similar to the fight scenes in Advent Children it'll probably be something like that. Why it would be different to the consoles is beyond me and if anything, the PS3 should be real time having the "Cell" (basically seven processors linked up).

I agree with you Stick, FFXIII was the main reason I bought a PS3 and it annoys me a little that Sony would go and lose the one special thing it had. Ah well....apparently Versus XIII is gonna be exclusive...I hope ¬_¬'. I don't particularly hate the 360, it's just my least favourite console. A lot of the people on it are hardcore fanboys, as with any other console I suppose, but only on the 360 do you get the really obssesive players vying for no.1 and calling themselves "l337".

[Ken Hayashi (#52012)]

I'm actually very new to the FF franchise. Never been much of a gamer until recent months. I have FF War of the Lions and FF7 Crisis Core, both for PSP. I started War of the Lions some time ago and while I loved the graphics and cut scenes, game play was kinda dull. So I dropped that almost immediately. I tried to stick with Crisis Core and in fact, I did till I managed to level up Zack and got pretty far along the game. Then I sorta lost interest in the game. I have not deleted the saved game file yet so one day I may return to the game. I did like it while I was playing it, but it's not a favourite.

[Daizengar (#99576)]

[deadplayer (#137545)]

I quited FFXi for a long time.

[Katayoku_No_Tenshi (#130322)]

Hmm...I think newer Final Fantasy's are slowly becoming more engineered towards the graphics than the story itself. I think FFX had a good balance of things, it looked great and the story was fairly decent. It had characters rivalling FFVII and is very well rounded in relation to side quests and stuff. FFXI was a complete failure, with landscapes and cities WAY too huge taking like 10 minutes going between shops and banks and exiting the city. I don't really have a taste for playing 12 either. It had it's good moments but the spell casting system meant you had to wait for the current spell being cast to finish before you could cast yours, meaning you would generally die before reviving a character when fighting the harder bosses. With XIII, well time will tell. It certainly looks great (playing or indeed fighting the guy who telekinetically controls about 7 swords looks fun) and the story so far reminds me of FFVII, with the richer people living above the city because it's just become so polluted.

Ok so Dissidia Final Fantasy is being released in Japan on December 12th, 2008 and sometime spring of next year for the US release.

When I first heard about this I actually thought it was a cool idea, but really didn't pay no mind to it. After reading up on it, watching vids, and finding out it'll have a small, semi-competitive following I am officially pumped for this game. This game has given me more than enough reason to dust off the PSP, although I'd rather this be released on PS2 but oh well.

That being said, I plan on importing this and playing it till the US version comes out just like how I did KH2

[Nikos (#141781)]

Ι like FF9 because of the good design

[Shiru (#135861)]

well, I wouldn't exactly call myself an FF fan, but the first FF game I've played (almost to completion, rather than trying it out for an hour or so max) is Final Fantasy 4 (NDS). I rather like it. It's very addicting, and the characters look cool.

[stevo (#103181)]

FF 13 is comming out soon I will probably buy it first thing but it seesm you can only control one character again, just what I need is a dumb AI healing when I want attacking and vyse versa.

[FH (#140519)]

I think ff13 will be better than 12, but whether it will be as good as 10 and the games before that will be questionable. Anyone want to donate a ps3 and ff13 when it comes out to me?

[Brandino (#102083)]

[stevo (#103181)]

[Anothar (#136418)]

I'm a fan of FF7 myself... I've played it to death (got that 10$ downloaded version on my PS3) and enjoyed FF7:AC, despite its shortcomings. There's also an extended edition called FF7: AC Complete that features a good 25 minutes of extra footage, not to mention the 2 OVAs that fill some plot gaps.

About FF13, I'm looking forward to this one, and I pre-ordered it before the holidays. It's nice to expect things when they're already paid for

[nauXolo (#69311)]

From what I've read so far, seems like there's too much "story" and not enough 'action' and adventure in FF13. You don't even get to choose where you want to go, you just follow some linear storyline, which is uninteresting to me unless the story is truly a literary master piece. One of the reasons why I stopped playing MGS 4 was b/c of the horribly long and numerous cut scenes.
