the negative threads where the biased unknown reviewers (who are fanboys) ?
OT: (or off topic?) I can't believe NSMBwii is that low, I was expecting it #3 or 4

Actually those weren't the only negative threads about FFXIII, almost every thread which had the FFXIII name on it eventually sunked into negativity about the game. 

I really hope that some day FF fans can be as close together as Mario or Zelda fans, I really love to converse with a fellow Mario or Zelda fan, because I know that there's almost no negativity between us :)

@Darth

To me the best gameplay so far has been FFVII's Materia System, since it allowed you a world of possibilities that no FF had allowed you before. The combinations of Materia were in the millions ;)

@hikaruchan

It's true, one of the biggest points against FFX was the inclusion of Tidus, but I still remember the discussions that arose when it was known that FFX would have no explorable overworld, that's when the s*** almost hit the fan with FF fans >_<

Yeah the materia system was definetely great, but I just loved the ability to switch people in & out in FF10 & ofcourse my favorite SPHERE GRID!

BTW khuutra said that when it was revealed FF6 (FF3 at the time) would have mechs in it, even that was a BIG thing & led a to BIG backlash as mechs were like un final fantasy-ish

but ofcourse after the game released it was all ok!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Yeah, I remember there being a huge backlash, especially amongst Nintendo specialized magazines with fan letters talking about that constantly.

But the biggest hate that FFVI drew at that time was when it known that FFVI was supposed to have 3 worlds instead of 2 and that the original story drew more around the Esper's World than it actually did on the game. Reminds you of something now? :P

He was just doing his job and possibly hinting at the future appearance of DLC, which isn't all that bad, this could be the first time we'll actually have all the content of a FF game available, so that could be a good thing.

I just find it ironic about the short memory span of most of the "old school" FF fans when it comes to this matter :P

FF spans several companies' consoles, which is a big reason why most don't get along.  It's the truth unfortunately.  Also, different teams do each game so everyone has their preferences.  I suppose Dragon Quest fans get along with each other a little better.  In Japan, the FF vs. DQ battle is the most vicious battle, even over console wars.



"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

Can we stop this BS about it being negatively recieived now

I am getting sick & tired of it

USER reviews int he majority are VERY positive, on amazon japan 5 stars is the score given out most

So what if a few vocal guys hate it huh?

/rant


Really? You should've heard them on the GameTrailers podcast say that everyone was giving it a 1. The amount of hate they have for this game is incredible.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.
