Meh. My interest in the FF series has been declining ever since VIII. I'm not going to be excessively disappointed if FFXII turns out to be a failure...

When the revolution comes out, i really hope that another mario game comes out.

No, not like another one of those party games or the sports ones they've been working on alot. I'm talking about something like or decently close to super mario sunshine.

You know, with good cutscenes, plot development (not alot but it was still good) and best of all, 3D!

Or they should forget the 3D cutscenes or any cutscenes all together?

I mean... like back in the day when you didn't need no stinkin' cutscenes for a game to be fun.

But i like cutscenes........

Atleast, cutscenes that make sense. *nods darkly at shadow the hedgehog's neutral path cutscenes and how one or two didn't make any sense.*

If they do make another Super Mario Sunshine like game, I hope Mario has settings other than 'stop' and 'fall off the fucking ledge AGAIN'.
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.
Everyday I'm tumbl'n.

yeah, ledges are a bit of a pain to deal with. Unless you backflip, wall jump and hover backwards.

:P

I'd rather have more gameplay than more cut scenes.

And what's wrong with in-game graphic cutscenes? Worked for Castlevania, and Vagrant Story, at the very least.

Notty-- ORLY? Ok.
I think I'd rather have a super mario game with MORE THAN FOUR BUTTONS though.
and without a split screen.

Although given how tall some levels of super mario bros. games are, it could conceivably work...

Pinku-- *grinns* Indeed.

Car-- *snicker* I see...

Play a game that's 40 hours... 15 if you skip all the cutscenes, and get back to me, Immy.

>.> I agree with Immy. I enjoyed Final Fantasy X, Soul Reaver 2, and Indigo Prophecy, so I do have quite a bit of experience with massive quantities of cutscenes.

Cutscenes are taking over the games... I enjoy cinematic experiences, but damn, they should really cut back when it's the main focus of the game.
No fanfare, no special effects... Just Jon

Obviously, that is way too long.

:P

I'm talking brief, between 1 to 5 minute segments at crucial points. Not scenes that take ten minutes to watch between five minutes of game play

Super mario sunshine for example, only has cutscenes at certain points and then returns control back to the player after less then five minutes.

Edit: Metroid prime for example, has an excellent, 15 to 20 second cutscene when you unleash metroids on some unsuspecting space pirates. ^.^

I hardly even consider those cutscenes anymore Immy, as by our standards now, they go by in a blink and then you're back int he game. Cut scenes are the ones that give you time to go to the bathroom, get a snack, call a friend, clip your toenails, enjoy a classical rendition of Moonlight Sonata, and learn a second language before you actually get to play again.

Well, then the standard cutscene time needs to be lowered.

It really just depends on what kind of game you're looking at. Plot-driven games have longer sequences of plot than action-driven games. And that's how it should be.

I don't call those cutscenes, I call em recent FF summonings.
