The Offical Final Fantasy Game Thread

[DigificWriter]

^ Whatever. You're entitled to your own opinions, but I'm never going to agree with you. I've played practically every game in the numbered series aside from the two MMORPGs and the prequel and sequel games, and stand by my opinion that FFXIII is an excellent game and very deserving of being ranked among the best in the franchise.

At any rate, this back-and-forth is getting tiresome, so let's just agree to disagree and move on.

 

[Solidus]

Yes I've been playing FF since the first back in 1990. So let's not play that game. I too have played all but the two MMO's and I do stand by my opinion.

 

[DigificWriter]

Like I said, let's agree to disagree and move on. It's really not worth arguing over.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I'm just going to agree that both of your opinions are inferior to my own, which is:

X-2
































VI

Gonna have to disagree. When I was a kid my mom said my opinion was the best. So...I dunno.....

 

[Tron Bonne]

She lied. Mine is, because I made it so.

Liar!

The first time I heard about this a month back and saw it I left it alone cause I really didn't know make of it. but Oh I better just put this up.

Last Mission included?! Let's hope these are real screens unlike the numerous fakes floating around for other games!

[Tron Bonne]

I'm pretty sure those are legit. It's more than just a blurry logo side shot like a lot of recent fakes.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Some of the goodies we're getting in the Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster, besides the regular in-game international content:

• New arrangements of old music
• Eternal Calm (prequel video to FFX-2) and Last Mission (sequel content to FFX-2) (unconfirmed)
• New 30 minute audio drama
• Trophy support

Just need a solid release date!

wow the new interface looks gorgeous. Love it

It's pretty good! Here's some more screens of the in-game UI (the colors I'm sure aren't as washed out but it's just the photographs' fault):

It been YEARS since I've played a good JRPG. Man this release will bring back so many good memories and fill a void that's been sorely lacking

I hope once you start a game that you are able to exit back to the main menu. I hate these collections which don't have that option and force you to restart back from the XMB in order to switch between titles

One cool feature would be if they had a cutscenes viewer from the main menu. I know at least in X you could go to the theater for that but it wasn't exactly quick and convenient

 

[KevanG]

Any news on it going to Xbox?

Actually I'm really tired of MS's BS with the auto payment system being reactivated every time I turn around and I'm seriously considering just getting a PS3 and leaving MS behind.

 

[The Squirrel]

So I really only have Spoony's reviews to go by, but are X and X-2 actually any good?

 

[KevanG]

I loved X, I didn't like X-2 much. Ask Tron for more info on X-2. We had a 'discussion' on our differing views a little while back and I ran from left the thread for a bit.

 

[Havok83]

Both are great games! I absolutely loved them. X-2 is great and probably has one of the best battle systems in a FF. The dress spheres were really funny and really added to some dynamic and interesting fights

Yuna!!!

"A World Of The Versus Epic" Trademark Hints At More Final Fantasy XV. August 6, 2013 . 8:22pm

Back at E3, Hashimoto said that Final Fantasy XV is a large scale game and many stories may come at a later time.

The Final Fantasy XV trailer has a tagline at the end of it that says "a world of the Versus epic." During the Future of Final Fantasy press conference, Siliconera asked Shinji Hashimoto if that meant Final Fantasy XV will have direct sequels like Final Fantasy XIII.

Hashimoto replied that Final Fantasy XV is a large scale game and many stories may come at a later time.

Square Enix is certainly preparing for future Final Fantasy XV stories considering they filed a trademark for "A World of the Versus Epic." Final Fantasy fansite FF-Reunion spotted the trademark, which was registered in Europe by Square Enix Japan.

I don't think it's coming to the 360, no. Neither is the KH collection. It's odd, when you think about it, since both of those franchises are multiplat now. It might be a licensing issue.

So I really only have Spoony's reviews to go by, but are X and X-2 actually any good?

They're both good. X is what I would call you're more typical FF experience. The style and storytelling of it, I mean. Like all FF's it has it's own battle system, and I liked X's pretty well. It's pretty open ended from what I recall, it's like a sphere grid type of deal and each character can cross over to others. Been awhile, so I'm fuzzy. Story is good overall. I personally thought the twist about the main character was fairly dumb, and they way they handled it in the end, but not dumb in a 'wow, this just ruining the story kind of thing', more of, 'oh, well, that's just kind of dumb, but I can roll with it'.

FF X-2 is almost an anti-FF experience in a lot of ways. The storytelling and style of it is very fun, bubbly and unabashedly cheesy. The battle system is fun as hell, though, and it has this dress sphere system that's really fun. The keyword is that it's all about fun more or less. There is a more sober storyline, but the spirits are light all around really. It's more mission based than the traditional FF as well. A lot of people hate it, but I think it stems a lot more from the style than the actual game. It's my personal favorite FF game by far, but I'm far from the typical FF fan.

 

[DigificWriter]

I already said this, but FFX is my favorite Final Fantasy game EVER and one of my favorite games ever. The story is near-perfect, the characters are all well-defined and have a part to play in that story, the world is one of the richest in the franchise, and the gameplay mechanic is incredibly engrossing and, at the same time, very simple to grasp.

I haven't played FFX-2, but I fully expect that I'll enjoy it as much as, if not more than, FFX because I don't mind the all-female cast, know enough about the story to be intrigted by it, and like the Dress Sphere gameplay mechanic and how it is an evolution of the first game's.

 

[Brother Jack]

The biggest problem with X for me is the protagonist. Titus is just insufferable as a character.

 

[Havok83]

I liked Tidus and had no problem with him. Vaan in XII was so much worse. I thought all the main characters in X were solid. I really enjoyed that cast
