naznatips said: Oh, and what makes a good FF game (VI, IX, IV, V) is:
Engaging plot, interesting characters with lots of character development, a fantasy setting, and great music.
What makes a crappy FF game (FFVII, FFVIII, FFX, FFXII) is:
Flashy graphics, dull (or poorly translated) plot, high production values, a sci-fi setting (X and XII excluded from this complaint), and awful characters and character development. |
All else held constant, why do flashy graphics make a crappy FF game?
Why do they inherently make the game worse? |
The focus on them causes the rest of the problems? |
How much have we heard about the FFXIII story? Nothing? How much have we heard about the main character? It's Cloud but a chick. How much have we seen about the graphics? Everything they show is about the graphics. |
But then, is it really the graphics themselves that are the problem or the mindset of the developers who are focusing solely on them? |
without a doubt the developers fault. While I applaud them for focusing rather than spreading themselves out, it sucks that they're focusing on the wrong thing.
And yeah, I don't have a hate for graphics.
