dont click the link and give them traffic. anyway i agree that the game will be like that for the 360 but not ps3 lol

And that picture has to be from the ps3 as they have not even started the 360 verion yet, ever that or it is pre-rendered

 

So the PS3 will get the version without the clichés?  Something here doesn't compute.

XBoxer, sounds reputable.

In RPG's you have to like to do the same moves over and over to level up it can get really boring. Imagine having to press the jump button thousands of times to max up your acrobats skill level that would drive you insane.

 

 I've failed to see an RPG with just one move.... more like each character has an attack, combo's, and a list of special attacks like how Legendia had ares and TOTA had artes.

In shooters you have to shoot things over and over again, you have to reload bullets, in rpg's you have to refill your MP [that's what most of them use.]

In shooters you never get stronger.... you just get new guns.... in RPG's you level up and get new abilities, moves, etc....

Which one would you consider more repetitive???

That's why Deus Ex is so great: you can shoot, you can grow, you can do both, you find new weapons, you have rocket launchers, but a mighty nanotech sword too... And if you choose playing stealth and good, you are encouraged to not use them at all in many missions, but to only knock out foes instead! And the story is good too! You get cheated and framed, but you still find friends. You can save the world, but up to the end you are presented with moral choices and lust for power temptations. It was a game so good and insightful that I understand why they lobotomized its sequel: the original made dumb and shallow people fully feel how dumb, shallow and sorry they are.

People who have opinions different than mine make me angry enough to post threads.

In all seriousness, though, what Final Fantasy game hasn't been 60 hours of tedious Japanese game cliches?

Final Fantasy XII.

Really.

 

Huh. Doesn't it play like an MMO, though?



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

I take japanese clichés over american clichés anyday.

And I take a 60 hours single player game over a 10 hour single player game with lots and lots of childish multiplayer opponents.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

Ah, I guess not everyone is all hyped up about this game.

Here's my favorite paragraph

"Great, another game we have to pretend to be excited about. Now that Square's stunned the world and gone multi-format with its golden goose, we're all going to have to start pretending we're keen on sitting through 60-hours of tedious, sub-Hollyoaks, dramatic nonsense featuring the standard collection of Japanese video game cliches. "

The article also claims that the pictures are from the 360 version... (take with big grain of salt!)

You have to admire the balls it takes to put something like that up on a pro 360 website!!

 

This attitude from Xboxer is evidence of why MS's purchase of JRPGs doesn't get them anywhere, and has been an especially dismal failure in Japan.



Unfortunately, this guy isn't helping the Halo/Gears/Madden image of the 360.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

So far, the 360 is the best JRPG system this gen. How is some guy pointing out the nature of Final Fantasy going to hurt the 360's image?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

do they really wanna continue downplaying the game even though it's going to be developed for the 360? I mean, I could understand them doing it pre-E3, but not now....unless his mindset describes most 360 gamers...in which case, why is the game on the 360 anyway, other than M$ trying to do another "GOTCHA!" on Sony
