God I hope you mean Dark Chronicles. Because Dark cloud in comparison even a mediocre FF game is like night and day. |
Dark Cloud was decent, (first RPG I played on the PS2), but Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chroniicle was excellent and a much better game
FF is being eclipsed by other great RPGs... its old news. FF VI, VII, VIII were the apex of FF greatness... kinda a downhil slide since then.
I think the OP just wanted some VG$ from this thread.

Then why did FFVIII and FFX sell 8M+ Also, FFIX, X-2 and XII with 5M+ is hardly poor sales FFXIII will sell at least 7M on the PS3/360

Because games can sell purely on name and not quality. Seriously, the FF games over the last, what, 10 years have sucked pretty hard. They only sell because people think they're supposed to think they're awesome.

| NFGBlinkAC said: FF is important no matter what you think. FFVII set the standards in RPG's, and it most games. FFVI set standards for the way story's are now usually presented instead of "Oh, go do this for this item over and over again to progress". IMO, FFXIII could set the standards the way games with a similar combat system, turn based, atb, etc, should be presented in. I think i'm more excited to see the way FFXIII's combat is presented than the actual story lol |
FFVI did not set that standard. That standard was set by Dragon Quest IV, Final Fantasy IV, and Phantasy Star II. FFVI just perfected it.
"FF is being eclipsed by other great RPGs... its old news. FF VI, VII, VIII were the apex of FF greatness... kinda a downhil slide since then."
I'll admit it has kind of been a downhill slide for console rpgs since FFXII (not talking about handhelds here or the Persona series on PS2); however, once FFXIII is released you will see the return of World's Greatest RPG Series as FFXIII will be yet another FF that gets review scores in the 9.5-10 range, that demonstrates the true power of epic rpgs once again, and that reveals all these sub 8.5 review games like Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia, etc, as the placeholders that they always are in every console generation prior to the release of that generation's first Final Fantasy.
My most anticipated games: Whatever Hideo Kojima is going to do next, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Wii Sports Resort. Cave Story Wiiware.

Are you actually saying that ff 8,9 and 10 and 12 sucked? Compared to what? just a week a ago i tried space siege, now that sucked, even dungeon siege sucked, diablo got boring fast, and the only good tolkien-esc game that is good is oblivion.
You are either ignorant or too one sided, cuz those final fantasy games are leagues ahead of the vast majority of games.
