| Teo said: You obvioulsy don't get what I'm even talking about. What does sales have to do with being critically acclaimed? Demons Souls, were it FF13, it would be "the worst FF ever" THIS IS A FACT.FF13 is nothing like other FFs and could pass for a new IP like FF10 and FF12. I love how the rumors of FF12's development can simply become fact over the internet if someone just keeps repeating it.I prefer my "broken game" thank you very much, over what ever you think is a great game. |
Imo, FF13 is a new IP, the developers have done something completely raidical and imo its failed, without the name FF on the cover i very much doubt it wouldve sold 6 million copies.

Since FF8, Square have been chasing a dream, to replicate the commerical and critical success of FF7 and exceed it. the FNC, is designed to be bigger than the FF7 compilation, and imo FF13 was supposed to be the biggest FF, bigger than FF7.
the developers failed because they made something they say 'is NOT an RPG' but more like an FPS, like COD. they havent understood that games are meant to be played not watched, so that is why i think FF13 is a fail.
FF12's development problems arnt rumours, i felt while it was a good game, it was a mere shadow of what it couldve been had the director, Matsuno remained. and Sakaguchi thinks so too.
Edit: Hirkuchan, i'm not disputing why Matsuno left, all i'm saying is that there is a incoherent narrative, and development team have stated in their post morterm, that the game suffered from a lack of vision. not to mention Ito said he was pleased with the Famitsu score, but he felt there were disagreements with the story between the Playonline team and the FF Tactics team. and Sakaguchi refused to play it because of Matsuno's departure, this is why imo FF12 feels like a broken game.
Oh and i lost interest in MGS series, when Liquid Snake controlled Revolved Ocelot through his arm. MGS3 was actully very good though, MGS4 more just same stuff, GW, JW, AI, stuff i had no interest in. i dont really care for the series much anymore, but MGS1 was an excellent game.
