Can't wait day one buy for me, and for any true FF fan.


I'm curious as to what your definition of "true" Final Fantasy fan is. As for SE, to say they've lost their way at this point is an understatement.


Someone who doesn't expect Final Fantasy to be the same as 7 or 8 or 6. I just don't get why you would want it to be the same as any past Final Fantasy. I have enjoyed most Final Fantasy games and i actually play other SE games and I don't judge the whole company soley on FF. They make plenty of other games than those.


Well, if you had seen my post history, you'd know that I consider FFVII to be the most overrated game of all time and one of the worst games in the series. FFVIII was just plain bad. So I wouldn't want any new Final Fantasy, or any other game for that matter, to be like them. I did/do like FFVI. It's not my favorite game in the series but I do consider it one of the best.

What used to make Final Fantasy so great was the combination of great characters, story, and immersive/imaginative setting. FFXIII surpassed FFVII as my least favorite game in the series and I actually think it had one of the best settings in the series. The setting itself was fine. The lore contained in the datalogs was compelling. Unfortunately I found the cast to be some of the worst characters I've had the misfortune of experiencing in the genre. Hope and Vanille were especially atrocious. Despite having such great lore, the story to FFXIII was anything but compelling, and the dialog was so bad that it was unitentionally hilarious at times.
