There is much debate over FFVII and FFVIII. Usually those who love FFVII don't like FVIII as much, and vice versa. FFVIII is actually one of my favorites, too, roadkillers. But it's all a matter of taste, really.

FF:Vii had sephiroth and cloud : ) The best characters of the series.

Well to tell you the truth it was my first. I have only played FFVIII and up (excluding 9 and 11). I also played FFI. The only weird thing was at first I hated the game but I kept playing and I loved it. I dont know the story of FFVIII beside its a love story. I only played it because of the sweet intense action scenes (Remember the opening). Give me a break though I played it when I was 9.

 Too bad I hate Sephiroth and Cloud :(

7 was good. It didn't deserve all the spinoffs, though.
8 was also good.

I am a fan of 10 and 12, myself.

I used to love Final Fantasy games. I also used to love Tetris. I went back, and I still like Tetris. But you know how sometimes, you revisit stuff you loved as a kid, and you think: "Wow, this stuff wasn't really that good?" That's pretty much how I feel about Final Fantasy. All of them. Their plots are melodramatic and heavy handed, and have been so, right from the beginning, I just didn't know it because I was a kid, and kids tend to like melodrama because its easy to interpret (subtle psychological innuendo or thematic implications aren't really a 10 year old male's forte. They certainly weren't mine). FF XIII Versus doesn't look any better to me: quoting Shakespeare right off the bat is an immediate sign of pretense.

Not saying others have to agree with me, just giving my opinion. I'm not sure I've yet to see an RPG with a good plot (comparing it to good literature or cinema), but I think a few have gotten reasonably close, and none of the FFs are amongst them. I haven't fully played X through XII, however.

So it's a new screen from a CG scene?



johnsobas on 26 July 2007

yup that is CG for sure, and there is no way the game is in a state where they can produce an in-game video anyway.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Though they say it was made through ps3 hardware just like mgs4 trailers.
