Crow for the masses. Dinner time!

Glad to hear it and can't wait to play it. Btw, isn't it awful quiet in here?

You're right, this has been by far, the nicest thread where the name FFXIII is mentioned XD

Well, to each his own then, but phantasy star portable is an underdog in my experience with the first game on PSP, almost no-one i know both on the net and in real life dont know even what it is.

im sure demons souls is to, but i didn't mention it since i have no opinion on it so i wouldn't know.

That's okay then, you may consider it to be so, but I was just giving you a view of how Phantasy Star really is to the whole JRPG market. An underdog is a game that comes out of nowhere from a unknown IP, not from a big name IP.

Some people consider the Crystal Chronicles series from FF to be underdogs as well, but that doesn't make it so, because it sells due to the FF name.

So... thats whats considered underdog in the gaming world? hmm... i dont agree with that but meh' ..

But if we are going by those rules... doesn't that make WKC an underdog aswell?

Yep, and if you look on Jneul's thread, I had said that exact thing about WKC ;)

It's not a question of rules or not, you can't argue against popularity of a series. It's the same thing as calling a Call of Duty game or Halo game, the underdogs in japan. Even if they don't have much popularity over there, that doesn't take out from the fact that they are amongst the most popular games worlwide, thus far from being underdogs. 

Edit - And since this is a Japan only list, then Phantasy Star is too far from being an underdog there xD

Haha, putting it that way makes alot more sense now, tsk, agreed then.

and @CGI- silence? where? >_>

Internet is really a good thing for those wanting to be "different" xD

@Darth

Final Fantasy will continue to sell and will continue to be held in high regard in the JRPG panorama, no matter how many people want to hate it. It has been one of gaming's longest series for some reason right? :D 

Ofcourse, mario, zelda, FF, DQ are all alive & strong 20 years on BECAUSE each iteration is top quality.

Funny how the truth silences the doubt.

Oh, I still think that those people will still appear on this thread, but I'm also still hoping that i'm entirely wrong! :D

@Darth

Not also are they all top quality, they are amongst the best examples in their own genre, they have been the banner holder and have shown how their own genre can evolve through more than 2 decades of gaming ;)

The funny thing though, is that from those series, only FF gets the most hate from it's own fans, go to any Zelda, Mario or DQ thread and you'll see their own fans praising and waiting for the best in all new games of the series. Go to a FF thread, and you'll see the vocal minority of the internet waiting for each new FF to fail massively :P

That's some great news, it's above some great gaming series as Mario, Tales, Persona and SMT, which is nothing to scoff at! 

I think From Software have a major series there if they ever release a DS 2 and improve on the first game :)

Hell yeah

mainly cus they are ALL DIFFERENT!

I mean lets see, which zelda got a lot of hate at launch & a lot of flak, oh thats right Wind Waker, it was different from previous zelda's thats why! (then after a while they all agreed it was AWESOME like 99% of FF fans do too in the end)

except this wind waker scenario happens with EVERY FF, with some on a big scale (i.e. FF8/12), to some on a smaller scale (FF7 -- yes I am sure some people hated it at the time)

Thankfully the majority see the light! Thats how it will stay!

Yeah, and ironically, the same people who disliked Wind Waker's Cell Shaded graphics, are now loving Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks :P 

@bolded - Actually FFVII got and still gets a lot of hate, especially to the purist FFVI lovers, to whom FF ended the day FF7 released. FF7 caused the biggest split in FF fans in the history of the series, a split that still exists today, even if the "purists" are fewer these days ;)
