After SO3 I dropped out of the franchise. I don't have much more faith for this one either as we know next to nothing about what it plans on doing differently.

i feel sorry for you... why did u hate SO3? was it too hard for you? are you used to easy n00bish Final Fantasy RPGs?

i thought it was a great game... took me over a 100 hours to finish. fayth leingod is da man

EDIT: i hope this game ends up on the PS3

 

Um... right. How's this for grievances:

-Awful party AI that often had my party members running around in circles doing nothing in the heat of battle

-Cringe-worthy voice acting

-A "sci-fi RPG" that took place on mostly low-tech planets, making it almost indistinguishable from a generic fantasy RPG

-Horribly cliche "big plot twist"

-Obtuse and unfun crafting system

-MP death

 

Honestly, I just don't see why some people go ga-ga over the game. It would have probably been good, perhaps even great, without these glaring flaws.

 QFT. So3 was not what I expected.The history got me really excited at first, but after playing for 20+ hours I understood that I would be stuck into the damn low tech planet for almost the whole game. The battle system was not fast enough for a semi-action RPG (get Tales of Symphonia now). Overall tha game lacks content and depth. On speed demos there is a 4 hour speedrun for this game. This is embarassing, even the old FF (20-30 hours average games) could only be finished in  3-4 hours minimum time.

Ari_Gold please do not say that you disagree with others that way. We all know that FF is too easy for the hardcore RPG player, but that does not mean that everyone that dislikes SO series is into FF.
