So? Part of that we already know from later games to a degree (Ocelot always being secretly working for someone), and some of that was obvious (Shagohad, Volgin). You can't have known ALL that from the beginning, and you're supposed to figure it out pretty far before the end (Boss/Sorrow, EVA, and the defection). I didn't see any of that as being a problem, it was still fascinating to see how the story would play out, since while we know in general what happens, we don't know the details. I thought it was an excellent story in and of itself, it didn't need any concrete links to the other games to be awsome.

I knew the entire storyline of the boss from the moment she didn't instantly kill Snake and the way she was acting on the Heli flying from it didn't add up to someone who just betrayed you.

Okay, having played the FFXII demo, I can say that "Underwhelmed" doesn't even BEGIN to describe my opinion. Someone apparently told the designers that f***ing FFXI had a good battle system and they should figure out how to copy it for an offline game. :wall: f***ing squeenix morons...

Wow. Thats one of the shortest yet most redundantly obvious yet understated statements I've EVER seen. I'm impressed.

Mario continues to astound in the realm of RPGs. I would like to see Squenix utilize some form of timed hits, even just SMRPG's version of timed hits, in Final Fantasy.

Because I always press the button in the middle of the attack, no matter what RPG I'm playing.

Even Pokemon.

Then clearly you're both not trying enough. Don't pin your own shortcomings on me.

Hrm... indeed? I challenge you to mortal kart race!

I never played 11, but the battle system, to me, looks like a horribly maimed version of the KH battle system, where you can't run around simply hitting the scenery because you feel like it, and have to miss the monster you are attacking in order to hit the scenery

And you don't attack immediately. I put in the attack command, nothing happened, I put it in again, nothing. I trieda third time, the attack was done about three to five seconds after I hit the command. And you can move in those seconds, reinputing the comands restarts the few seconds.

It hurt to play. Not only was it horrible but it is the sucessor to 4-6...
Oh how the mighty have fallen, eh? From king of games to peasent that deserves to die for his own good. Within the space of ten years, no less.
10 had a few traces left here and there, but after the Mistwalker divide, none of the people responsible fro those traces of good are left on the Squeenix team, and the Enix part of the team are probobly all on their own projects...

Which company holds your loyalties?
I don't give a damn about the Square side of Squeenix anymore, for obvious reasons.

Square has slipped quite greatly. Outside Kingdom Hearts, I can't really think of any of their games worth noting in the past few years. I hold firm that FFIX was the last of the good FF games.

I'll agree with that for the most part.
Still, the FF7 spinoffs do look intresting.

I agree. After FF9 they began pushing the now-Mistwalker people further and further from the development area, untill they were forced to break away to have a say in what they did. I have a feeling that KH is primarily Disney and the Enix department made.
