yea dude i'm getting my PoP in about 4 hours... WOOT..
Okay, so for the first time ever I'm playing Vandal Hearts, and while I'm still pretty early in it (juggling finals, final papers and all that jazz) I must say that this game fucking rocks! Love a good story!
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Vandal Hearts is very cool. Gotta love that fighting system. It's really hard though.
Dragon Quest VIII.
That game is so addicting. I was a little turned off by Akira Toryami's designs at first, but after I broke down and bought it (my first DQ game by the way) I liked the design a lot. The characters are good, all of them have various British accents and are done really well. Even the monsters have a little character. The squids for instance, doddle in the sand sometimes instead of attacking and have serious ADD.
At times though, the game is HARD. If you're not careful, you can get killed by a random enemy encounter. You need to keep far enough ahead or pay attention every battle. The low HP's on your characters is what makes it a challenge though. It makes some of the Final Fantasy's look like a joke, except for 4 (jap version or Chronicles), same sort of difficulty. The music is amazing too.
EDIT: By the way FFXII (demo inlcuded) isn't finalized so be aware of that, but the demo plays like crap. The characters are basically indistinct in the way they fight, they all seem to have similar strength attacks and the same magic spells, and it plays like a MMO. You need to wait for the ATB gauge to charge AFTER you already selected your attack, thus cancelling it if you change your mind. If I wanted to play an MMO, I would play a real one.
I wouldn't waste your money on FFXII if it doesn't change, buy DQVIII instead.
The FFXII demo is just an exhibition, and is nothing like what the actual game will be in terms of abilities and etc. Also, it's not like you buy a FF for it's battle system.
I like Akira's Dragon Quest illustrations, mostly because they remind me of Chrono Trigger (his finest work within video game art IMO).
I did say it was a demo, so at least some changes would be expected, but I'm really not seeing a whole lot to like in the demo. It's just what I thought since I hate the idea of it playing like an MMO with a storyline. The battle system is what you're going to be interacting with most of the time in any RPG (excepting Xenosagas, so many cutscenes....) The game is going to sell huge anyway, just because of the FF Tactics charm (not quite the same, but that didn't stop people from buying Tactics Advance either).
I'm just starting to think the Final Fantasy franchise is starting to lose its charm even to some of the fans. (I'm not the only person who hated FFIX and thought XI was a bad idea).
Thanks for reminding me of Chrono Trigger, now I'm gonna have to go replay that for the 80th time, maybe this time I'll save Schala from the rampaging Mammon Machine and Lavos.
Yeah the FF series is definitely losing it's charm amongst the hardcore fans, but on the other hand it keeps winning new ground as the most famous RPG series currently running.
So I reckon Square won't have to worry too much...
Save Schala? :S I've beaten it a million times (or so [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]) and I don't recall anything about her possibly being "not saved" :S
She falls into the void after (Spoiler-free)[what Chrono does]. It just seems like you save her if you kill the super-hard version of Lavos. It's all in my head.
While you're at it, let's go and try to resurrect Aeris too.Originally posted by: Ryllharu

Edit: I'm playing FF7 on the PC. I should say replaying. Goddamn it's a kick ass game.
And as for FFX... It's possibly the worst FF I have played. (I've never played FFX2, so hah!) The plot was really mediocre. The fucking voice overs were horrible. Yuna sounded like a robot, and Tidus sounded like a fucking prepubescent boy. The game was completely LINEAR. You can only go backwards or forwards in every zone. The airship was completely dissapointing. I couldn't wait to fly around the world, but all you get is a crappy map. Blitzball is a shitty game. It's ridiculously hard at the beginning, but becomes ridiculously easy at the end... I also didn't like the leveling system worked in the game. The concept was good, but the execution was poor. One of the huge flaws in it was the ability to gain 40 or so levels at once.. Also the fact that if you wanted to have "perfect stats" you had to actually go back and delete some of the stat gains you had before, and replace it with a better version of it.
The only good thing about the game was the monster collecting. And the crazy bosses you had to fight with the monster collecting.
lol
Poor Schala. We want to save her so much that we pretend we can :S

Does anyone remember the Chrono resurrection project that was going on a couple of year ago? They discontinued the project unfortunately, but what they accomplished was fantastic. Here, have a look. http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/

FFX spoilers and stuff
I think I'm nearing the end of FFX now. I recently finished the puzzle in the Zanarkand Dome and I'm fighting this boss with lots of pads around him which I need to move around. I hate that the bosses are so fucking hard in this game, I have to run around and level up which is annoying when I want to see what happens next very badly [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
My evaluation so far is that this game isn't quite up to par with FF6 or 7, but I must stress something about this game which is absolutely mindblowing, a particular scene. And I'm sure all you FFX fans have seen the scene a million times and you are probably thinking "God, that Terra is sooooo slow" but I still just have to say how AWESOME Tidus & Yuna's moment under the water was. Partly because I love the song "Suteki da Ne" so much, but also because it felt so... you know, right. Their romance had been brewing for a long time and you just knew it was gonna happen eventually. Yuna was crying, and I was sitting in front of the TV practically screaming "DAMNIT EMBRACE HER, TIDUS!" and then they started kissing, the song kicked in and they dived under water. Awesome stuff. One of the best VG scenes I've seen in years.
Yay my God of War for PS2 finally arrived.
im playing Starcraft: Broodwar, while waiting for my DS to arrive ^^
I just read Terra's playing FFX. That's my favourite game of all time. I love the story and the characters, particularly the relation between Jecht and Tidus. It's simply the best ever FF for me. You gotta play FFX-2 to complete the story!

FFX-2 is one of the worst games I have ever played. I can take alot and I always finish games that I buy. But this was just too damn horrible that I couldn't even muster the strenght to go all the way. There is just one other game that I have bought and not finished, Saga Frontier 2, that should say something about the level of FFX-2.Originally posted by: Psyke
