"I mean yes that's why FFIX is so unique and good, but you can take yourself not seriously and still have a good story, and it didn't have a good story. But Deus Ex is a Masterpiece. And it doesn't really have a great plot and it takes itself very seriously. So you like only not serious games? :P"

Where did you get such a silly idea? There are plenty of great serious games, including a few in the Final Fantasy series itself (XII, for example). But far too many Final Fantasies, and JRPGs in general, try to take themselves seriously and fail miserably.

Final Fantas 8 was better than XIII and XII

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

The only song from a game in Japan to win a music award!

I prefer Melodies of Life. I think it has a better beat and the lyrics actually make some sense. Well not much, but still more than Eyes on Me.

Dude did you even listen to the lyrics for Eyes on Me?  I'm not going to say what's better cause I can't remember what Melodies of Life sounds like and I'll probably still like Eyes on Me better because of preference, but everything in Eyes on Me makes perfect sense to the game.

The lyrics are plagued with so many errors that obscure the meaning of the song.

"Whenever sang my song."

Erm... okay....

I prefer Melodies of Life though since it's a better song.

One line that was probably mistranslated?  I mean the entire song is the story of Julia and Laguna, it's meaning was spot on for what it was made for.  Though I'm not saying Eyes on Me is better mind you, but anyways how about we agree that Vivi was a cool mage?  Even better than that mage from the first game!

Vivi is the best Final Fantasy character ever created.

Now now, Zell is the best FInal Fantasy character ever created :p.  But yes I liked Vivi, I don't know if they could have told his story better, but he was such a... I can't think of the word to describe him, but ... I don't know if I should go on, X-Box man still has to play the game I don't wanna spoil anything.



If you don't like or enjoy it, don't play it. SImple as that.

Zell isn't even close to being one of the best characters in FF8.

And are you thinking of third wheel?

:O not the best characters ever?  GET OUT!  Nah just joking; seriously though opinions are opinions, Zell's too much of a joker for me not to like him best (Though Squall is my second most favourite character ever for anything but again that's just for me) and no I'm just saying he's such a positive character and all this crap happens to him, I just feel bad for him, but I also like him cause he has to go through these hardships.
