RageBot said: No, what you fail to realise is that the ENTIRE SERIES is in decline, and that, UNLIKE MARIO, the difference between 2D FF and 3D FF is.. just that, the GRAPHIC ENGINE. It seems like, for some reason, you can't make a difference between 2D gameplay, and 2D graphics, 2D and 3D FFs PLAY THE SAME, THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE GRAPHIC ENGINE. Please, do explain to me how changing the graphic engine, ALONE, will help the series recover in the west, where the series got big in the first place BECAUSE OF IT'S SUPERIOR GRAPHICS. Oh and - How old are you? |
Okay simmer down, buck.
The 2D games all had more of a focus on plot and story, personally I think 3D graphics comes with the burden that every installment has to have hugely cutting-edge graphics and cinematic-scope and this often comes at the cost of less attention paid to gameplay and story.
I think the route 3D FF is on is self-destructive. My original comment was just a through-away comparison to the other big-topic of discussion, NSMBW. It wasn't a research statement for a treatise. There's no need to be so exciteable and over-aggitated about this.
And guess what? I still would like to see a new 2D FF on a Nintendo console. Go figure.
