My first RPG, discounting Pokemon, was, by an amazing coincidence, Dragon Warrior 1&2 for GBC. I've favored those games for some reason ever since, though I am not very discriminating. As long as it doest fall into the catagory I call "shineys, love, blood and FMVs" (IE, FFX and its ilk), I usualy like it.

Blood is being used to refer to mindless UNFUN violence.

I was a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series after I played 6. I went back and played 4, then got into Mystic Quest, which I amazingly actually liked. I was really excited when I first read about Final Fantasy VII, and when I actually played it, I was utterly disappointed at the tremendous downsize from good to crap. *sigh* It went downhill from there, until they made X.

I thought X would be a sign of returning to goodness, but then they started sequeling the Final Fantasy titles. I've finished X-2 and it's nothing more than a worthless flesh show. And considering how much I despised VII (and all the more for how much popularity that worthless, empty villain gets), I have low expectations for the three sequels planned for it.

First RPG ever was Super Mario RPG. Hell, I didn't even know what RPG meant.

Those were the days.

I need to know

Tell me will you freak out?

*sigh* As long as I'm ranting about Final Fantasy, I was quite upset with Final Fantasy XI. Now, my hatred of MMORPG's aside, I do understand that many people like them, and I do not object to them making a Final Fantasy MMORPG. However, I do object to them giving it a number. It should have been its own thing, like they did with Tactics, Adventure, Legends, etc.

I hate to say it, but FFX is what convinced me that I should be making games.

Yes, it really wasn't that good. But I really liked the scope of the story (if nothing else), and I think that marked the starting of a personal preference: video games over movies. After playing thru Halo 2, I was convinced. Games are the way to tell a story... And it takes a LOT of dedication and the right viewpoint to do it right.

That's what I've been looking for since I played FFX: the right viewpoint with which to make a game.

Luppy has a dream, and so do I.

Well Terra, as a former slave to said game, I can say... meh. The people there didn't even think about final fantasy while playing.. The only reminders are the classes and Chocobos.. And moogles!

So, don't get upset over the number, because no one there is paying attention.

Do something gray and controversial that makes people really think. For reference points, see Kreia of KotOR 2, or the entire Legacy of Kain series.

Which is exactly my point. Nobody cares that it's even Final Fantasy, so why does it get a number when such great titles as Tactics do not? It's the same concept, a Final Fantasy that is completely different from Final Fantasy style. So why must we be denied a Final Fantasy XI just because some people like MMORPG's?

Still playing KotOR 2, but the whole KotOR series is a good example.

Now, if JD ever finishes his game, I think I'll have a VERY good example.

SInce FF 8, X, and the existance of X-2 dissapointed me I easially avoided getting into MMO's when 11 came out.

WoW on the other hand... Blizzard is the only company to never dissapoint me.

I played a friends copy of FFX-2 for two and a half hours before I realized it was agonizingly painful tripe. Thats as far in as I am.

I always finish a game before I proclaim it either good or crap. I believe I can't give it the honest rating it deserves unless I have experienced the entire thing, regardless of how painful it is to do so.

I played it for around an hour fifteen minutes before playing became too painful.

Randy...

Change your avatar, please...

Back on topic... from what I've seen of X-2, it's pointless drivel.

And I never understood why FFXI was given a number. It's not even really an FF game...
