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.

- lol no. I've had 300+ hours on SO3 and my party members have NEVER "run in circles" so I know you're full of it. The only AI problem I ever hear about is the one where they back off so they won't get killed, in which most people whining about it don't realize that they're set to BACK OFF SO THEY DON'T GET KILLED

- Main characters: no. Some NPCs: Yes

- It's sci-fi/fantasy. It's been that way since its conception 

- People bitch because it's not cliché, I don't know how many tims the game gets attacked for not having a sephiroth or sin.

- Pick an IC class and begin. Not unfun, not obtuse, amost ridiculously easy and simplistic.

- MP death = win

The game gets attacked far too frequently and and got good reviews. To have an SO4 thread devolve into an anti-SO3 btroll and bitchfest and then have the audacity to claim that people go "gaga" over it when there's been nothing in this thread but BASDH BASH BASH DUN LIEK STAH OSHEN BASH BASH BASH is just ****ing moronic.
