The last decade was bad for me as a ff fan. I really thought the franchise went to the dogs with FFX which was a step down from ff8/7, then ff11 which i cudn't get into, finally ff12 being horrible. KH2 wasn't as gud as KH1 either unfortunately.

I dnt know what went wrong in the last decade but for me the company that gave me ff7/8/9 just didn't exist. But now a new decade is here and ff13 has restored my faith in them. I went in expecting it to be worse than ff12, the characters looked bad, some nobody was making the soundtrack, the ffx-2 director was directing it, and it looked bad. But i was surprised by it as the characters went from cliched to i dunno they just surprised me throughout the game. The gameplay wasn't gimmicky but worked very well, it was hard but simple to use. The story was amazing, i got involved in the problems the characters faced.

I missed moogles, towns though. But I can say I am a square-enix fan now.

But can they deliver with FF14?

Nomura is making FF Versus 13 so that will definetely be good, Nomura is like kojima. But its XIV and then XV (if ff12 team makes it) that i'm worried about. I'm just happy to love my favorite company again.

Well, I can't hate people for having an opini-

Oh wait, yes I can.

Kidding aside, FF14 is an MMO, you probably won't like it.

And FFvXIII will be very similar to the KH series, I think KH2. Take that as you will.

FFXV will be a return back to form.

Why do you disagree with that?

FF14 is an MMO but they said its different from XI so i may like it. XIII is like X according to many but I prefer XIII much more over X, you can't generalize. Nomura delivers completely, i believe he had less involvement in KH2, thats why it wasn't as gud as the first.

FF12 is a bad game. the characters are boring, the story is stupid some crap about nemacite. the world is big but who cares i had no motivation to do anything in it. yes the hunts are good but lets not forget another bad thng the battle system is bad and very very boring. VA's were gud though. And its a very convinient excuse to pretend i didn't understand the story, the story in it sucked get over it. Not every ff is as good as u think it is.

You named 3 other square-enix games out of which 1 is a remake. 2 others were ok. thts not saying much, they had 10 years and they made 2 good games? And you and dtewi are generalising tastes, but its gud to hear FFXIII team is making FFXV.

Eh, if you can't understand KH2's story, I doubt you'd get the subtle brilliance that FFXII's story emits at points. Not trying to sound rude, but there's a lot more to FFXII than nemacite.

i'm still waiting for a game that will restore my trust in them. i liked ffxiii as a game but i didnt like it near as much as the PS1 genaration ones.

i'd like for them to try to do something more like the old games, they are trying to inovate too much. my favourite titles are ff6 and ff8, then comes ff4, ff9 and ff7.

maybe i'm getiing old for square enix "new vision" but there will be other developers who will cater to my RPGs needs if they dont.

i'll still hold my hopes up for Versus. Seems like Nomura pays more attention to what fans are missing, and the visuals look awesome.

oh ok. I do like ffx, but i dont love it like ff7/8/9/13.

@darthdevidem01

stop being rude and how can u just say i haven't played the game. if u have no argument thats what you are saying. Gambits were boring, i didn't want to just have the game play itself for me. Writing i don't care this isn't english school. It was a bad game as it just lacked magic that most ff's have. I hear Nomura had less involvement on a kh fansite, not sure though. And ff13 had the biggest opening because it was on 2 platforms.

How is that being rude?

YOu clearly didn't understand the way FF12 was meant to be played nor its plot...so theres no point continuing this discussion.

FF12 isn't the best FF, far from it, its the worst for me....but I don't think you gave it a fair chance to impress you.

You thought FFX was a bad entry in the series? And you call yourself a Square Enix and Final Fantasy fan?

*rofl*

I "liked" ffx. But i didnt fall in love with it like i did with ff7/8/9 and now 13. so after lving ff7/8/9 just liking 10 was even a disappointment then.

@darthdevidem01

u still haven't given me a single reason to say why ff12 is good.

i didnt like ffx much, the battle system was good but the characters and voice acting were terrible.

i liked ffxii characters a lot and i did enjoy the game, even though the gambit system was a bit... not what i'd like. the battle with Gilgamesh was great... come on, that game was good
