Remember when there was a new Final Fantasy game every year or two? And there were no sequels, prequels or spin off titles. When the franchise had integrity and there was only the main series and tactics.Those days are over. Move on.
But there is a new final fantasy game every yearthere's been crystal chronicles, dirge of cerberus, crisis core, revenant wingswhy wouldyou complain about that
>>52281887>crystal chronicles, dirge of cerberus, crisis core, revenant wings>no sequels, prequels or spin off titleDerp
>Remember when there was a new Final Fantasy game every year or two?Back when they were being produced for the psx and snes? Development is harder this gen, everyone knows that
Fuck yeah Blank
>>52281958It wouldn't be so bad if they got all their top people focused on a main series game instead of spreading them out to work on spinoffs
blank is a true bro
>>52281969>>52282076I remember shedding manly tears (figuratively) during that Evil Forest sequence. True bro
>Those days are over. Move on.;_;
YOU MAD?
if they weren't so focused on graphics (hint: it still looks fake as fuck) and developing a new engine rather than using assets already on the market, and IF they hired an editor who knew what real writing actually looks like, they could probably churn out one every two years and they'd all still be better than 13
>>52282229But graphics are what made Final FantasyDon't you remember shitting your pants when you played FF7 and FF8?
This happened to Dragon Quest too....Except without the sequels
>>52282223Square were goodEnix were goodSQUARE ENIX ISN'T AS GOODHOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
>Those days are over. Move on.Feels bad man
Final Fantasy fans only have themselves to blame for this. For throwing money at any old spinoff shit Square threw at them you only encouraged them to kill the franchise further.It should have just stopped at x-2
>>52282297their graphics aren't so far ahead of the rest of the market anymorethey're more complicated, and more animu kawaii uguuu, and there's lots of pretty lights in the background, but hardly better
>>52282323AS good? They just suckOnly SE game I've enjoyed is Radiata Stories.
>>52282495Their graphics were never so far aheadThere were games that looked better than FFVII at the time
>>52281799 Yah man, 1999 to 2002 was awesome!
>>52282297Yes OP, it's sad.Hopefully I'll be alive for the day a decent new game comes out.For now, the best thing around is ME. Which is pathetic.
I just wish Square would drop this whole saga bullshitThe compilation of FF7The Ivalice thingy (even though I actually like all the tactics titles, that doesn't mean they should be connected)Now FF13 is going to be milked for another decade.
>>52282554I just wanted to say that politely :3
>>52282664I complain about this shit all the time but you know what, I'm still going to buy versus 13

BACK WHEN FINAL FANTASY WAS GOOD NOSTALGIA THREAD
I moved on long time ago.
>>52282809Well sorry :3
Freya is mai waifu.
>>52281799>Remember when there was a new Final Fantasy game every year or two? And there were no sequels, prequels or spin off titles. When the franchise had integrity and there was only the main series and tactics.First Spin-off released: Final Fantasy Legend - 1990So we're talking about Final Fantasy 1 and 2 right?
Do you think maybe it's because we're not 12 and under anymore? Maybe that's why we don't enjoy Final Fantasy as much
>>52283152>First Spin-off released: Final Fantasy Legend - 1990You are fucking stupid.Those are SaGa games, they added the Final Fantasy name for the US release.
remember when final fantasy IX was originally going to be a gaiden and not a numbered title? (X was going to be IX, iirc)and then at some point they decided to give it a number and put it in the series, and then it was better than all the other ones?good times.
>>52283254Yeah, it doesn't have nearly enough shooting for the refined 16 year old /v/irgin.
Final Fantasy IX, the series goes back to it's roots, it's the best oneSquare does not pick up on this>My Face
Why take out the fanfare?
you know its final fantasy if the main characters look like they put 5 hours into styling their hair every morning
>>52283584Don't remind me
>>52283258Fine, then how about Final Fantasy Adventures released 1991? Face it, you're full of shit. The series never had "integrity" or whatever bullshit you guys are crying about...it was always about money. Shit has just changed so it takes longer and you don't like the games that are coming out.
>>52283422So are you saying IX was the best selling? Because if no, then Square had nothing to "pick up on".
>>52283658Final Fantasy Adventures is part of the World Of Mana series
>>52283658X-2 is a spinoff, Dirge of Cerberus is a spin-off, Crisis Core is a spin-off, Revenant Wings is a spin-off. They all are off-shoots of a numbered title. FFA isn't a spin-off, with that logic everyone's beloved Tactics a shitty spin-off.
>>52283422I'm right there with you bro. Shit makes me sad.And I think we can all agree that FFX is the weakest entry and that the series has never recovered to the success of the PS1 games. FFX also happens to be the first game that ditches the Active Time Battle System. Coincidence?
>>52283695I always wondered how devs were so blind to what fans wanted. Surely our forum posts and gamefaqs reviews would pop up along the road SOMEWHERE in their lives
When FFIX has a spin off, I hope they have all the voices be really annoying.Yep, so European accents like in FFXII, Freya will speak like Paris Hilton.
>>52283931Yes, it's a coincidence that the battle system changed when the POS X came out. If a JRPG uses the older ATB system everyone runs it through the wringers about being "archaic" and "out-dated". Highly doubt the battle system had to do with shitty writing.
>>52284015And the fact Sakaguchi wanted a sequelGlad he left SE
>>52281799>and there was only the main series and tactics>only the main series and tacticsMystic QuestLegendLegend IILegend IIIAdventureYou're a moron.
>>52284015> our forum posts and gamefaqs reviews This is what Gamefaq users believe demonstrates a good game. Their forum posts and gamefaq reviews.
>>52283811>Final Fantasy Adventures is part of the World Of Mana seriesWhich is a spin-off series of Final Fantasy, just like Crystal Chronicles. You can't even claim it was changed for the US, it was released as a Final Fantasy in Japan.
>>52284161NONE OF THOSE ARE FF GAMESAND MYSTIC QUEST IS JUST WHAT ADVENTURES WAS CALLED IN OTHER PLACES
>>52283931>I think we can all agree that FFX is the weakest entry and that the series has never recovered to the success of the PS1 games. FFX also happens to be the first game that ditches the Active Time Battle System. Coincidence?I think we can all agree that you are full of shit. Final Fantasy X was awesome, and X-2 has the greatest battle system in the series.
>>52284070>When FFIX has a spin offNONONONONONONONONONO
>>52283931Ditching ATB was the best thing the series could have done. ATB was unnecessary and wasted time.CTB was the most refined version of the Final Fantasy battle system ever, and it's still fun today.
>>52284234YET ALL OF THEM WERE RELEASED AS FINAL FANTASY IN AMERICANOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR SEMANTICS.
>>52284234Oh ok, so any game that destroys your shit theory doesn't count?
>>52284161Ok, you are trolling or an idiot, we already said that Legends are SaGa games, Adventure is the first Seiken Densetsu, that leaves MQ that was developed by the SaGa team.
Never cause the whole series was shit. Take off the fucking goggles. ALL the games (pre-enix and post) all sucked

What really sucks is that you fags still haven't realized that all of the spin-offs and sequels (sans Dirge) are far better than the main series.
>>52287010He's clearly laughing at Vivi's joke, and Vivi is hidden behind Blank.
>>52286969I used to have some RubySeems to have disappeared
>>52282223>>52282323Enix isn't reason SE's games aren't that good anymore... lack of someone to directly compete with Square is. Back in day that someone was Enix and to compete with Enix Square needed to try their hardest with each game and that is what made their and Enix's games that good. After the merger they can just get away by remaking their older games and by making halfassed sequels to series that used to be good. If only there would be someone to directly compete with SE now we might see something good coming out of them...
As predictable as it is to post Freya, I can't let a discussion of FFIX pass without at least one good image.Sorry.

>>52287185That's quite sad, really. Back then I wasn't much of a fan of Square, but damn I loved Enix games.
>>52287823Get the DS one. It's less bullshit than the wii one and costs less IIRC.Also, Yukes are superior. HAMMER TIME MOTHERFUCKER.
>>52287815Ok
I sometimes wonder if /v/ can get through one FF thread without mentioning FFIX. We've talked about it to death. Don't you guys ever want to talk about VII, VIII, or XII? We had a lovely X thread earlier...

I couldn't get too much into FFIX because the battle system moved at a fucking snails pace.Stealing and failing over and over again was a bitch too.

>>52289288>It's the highest rated FF game on metacriticMetacritic is only useful for a general idea of a game being good or bad on an individual basis at around the time of release.Comparison between games and over time is literally retarded due to widely varying sample sizes and zeitgeists.

I dunno, I'm liking 13 quite a bit. You guys are just too damn picky. Also there are countless RPG's being released for the DS and PSP. You get easy access to your Dragon Quests, SMT's, and Final Fantasies. Have you guys even tried enjoying anything new or are you just stuck on your childhoods?
>>52291844We come to an agreement.>>52291673We have done it before, one of the greatest 8 thread we ever had.>>52291948I enjoyed Sands of Destruction and that was new.
>>52291948I liked Jeanne D'Arc recently.
>>52291948>are you just stuck on your childhoodsYesFeels bad ;_;
>>52291673Nah, there have been good FFVIII threads before. I guess the trick is to just keep at it until the trolls get bored/have no idea what plot point you're discussing...?
>>52291948The problem is when people like you who enjoy visual novels branded as rpg's, when really they aren't rpg's at all. Then you act all aloof like us rpg fans are weird for not liking visual novels.final fantasy used to be an RPG. now it has become a VISUAL NOVEL. even the producers admit this.could i make this any more clear?also any game made by atlus is a visual novel.
>>52291948It just sucks when series you love has the potential to be amazing but falls short for whatever trivial reason. That's how I feel with most Square games.But I do love the other RPGs that have been released in the past couple of years
>>52292431Time to put on my other trip.I sense some atlus hate here, persona 3 and 4 were the only two visual novel I recall.
>>52292175When was that great 8 thread? Did you actually manage to talk about something else than Rinoa being Ultimecia for reasons that don't make any sense? Last good 8 threads I remember about where about 6 months ago where some guy called Logic? posted some theories and ingame explanations to things in 8's plot people didn't seem to get.
>>52292431Oh brother, here we go...
>>52292431>also any game made by atlus is a visual novel.Woah there sonny, you're basing multiple series off of 2 specific games.
>>52292708>Logic?>6 months agoOh wowIt started that long ago?Time flies by :3Not seen him post stuff like that in a while though
>>52292689well, yes i do hate persona 3 and 4, because i was told that they were RPG's and like an idiot i kept playing them waiting for the RPG to start but there was no RPG just visual novel.not to discredit visual novels, there are many fans of visual novels.the problem is that people go in expecting an RPG but instead they get a visual novel.that is why there are so many whingers about FF13.i'm actually surprised its taken them this long to let go of final fantasy because i saw the series change from FFX onwards and knew it would never be the same.
>>52292431Oh? Why don't you pick apart the gameplay mechanics for me and show me how final fantasy has become a visual novel. Every Atlus title? Have you even played Nocturne or any game that isn't Persona? Final Fantasy has always been linear, with some exception pointed towards 12. It's always been point A to point B with minimal sidequests. By your standards every JRPG is a visual novel.
>>52292708I was a long time ago and Logic makes some damn good 8 threads.>>52292919At first I expect 2 but I learned to enjoy p3 and p4. I see your reasons for dislike but don't base all atlus games on those two.
>>52293080in b4 WRPG fag comes flying in saying they are
>>52293080i think there needs to be a clear distinction between rpg and visual novel.rpgs contain majority gameplay (not cutscenes) and gives the player generally more freedom to do things. its still linear in essence, yes, but you can do lots of other things. more than just sidequests.visual novels, or interactive cg/anime games, appear much like rpgs but contain majority cutscenes, and minority gameplay (i.e more cutscenes than interactive gamplay). like rpgs it is linear but moreso than rpgs. these games appeal to players who are more interested in the characters and story than they are with interacting with a game.ok, my comment about atlus was maybe a bit extreme, but i swear every game i've played from them in the last 12 months has been a visual novel which i THOUGHT was gonna be more like an rpg.
