New AMAZING FF13 Pics --- Now THIS is a "Fantasy " GAME!!

[pakidan101]

Ever since I have heard and read about Final Fantasy and its lore, I have been intrigued and fascinated by the series and the genre. When I played Dragon Quest VIII, I have confirmed my love for RPG's in general.


Then I have played a couple of Final Fantasy games, however, and now I am confused over why I care about them at all.


It could be because of the games that I have played. The first one I played was FFX-2, prolly the worst one in the series ever. I finished the game just to get rid of it from my life without regrets.

Then I played FFVII. I tried playing it, I really did...but I couldn't care. Maybe it was due to the graphics and my eyes just couldn't take it...I loved the NES graphics, the SNES graphics and the PS AND N64 graphics, but that game just killed my eyes...half the time I couldn't tell where Cloud was within the background. Once I was able to go to the world map, I felt so lost I just lost the will to go on.

Then came FFXII. I played that game....hours upon hours...The game felt good, interesting, etc. Then, I started to care less about the story. Slowly I felt no reason to care about having the Princess get her kingdom back. Then I stopped caring about the unique battle system. Finally, I just stopped all together. I found myself just playing the game like a zombie, staring at the TV, moving the joystiq, watching the characters fight the monsters on their own, go to the next part, rinse and repeat.

Now, I am on FFIV for the DS and I am liking it very much. Hopefully I don't get bored with it, but I like the story a lot and it feels engaging when compared to the other FFs I have played. Whether this is a hint as to which generation of FF games appeal to me, I don't know yet but I hope not.

Will I be looking forward to this new FF? Sure. Will I be highly optimistic? Doubt it. I just hope that when I am in the middle of the game, I would actually have the will to finish and not be bored with it.
