Barret would be screaming and Cloud would be pouting... That would be an interesting picture...
I loathe Final Fantasy VIII. It blows. Seriously. No redeeming qualities ever. Boring story. Boring characters. Nomuras generic art. God aweful gameplay
Ithink ff8 isn't that bad and actually liked the story and caracter the only real downer i found was the draw system and the mixing item to make new weapons...
2 and 3 were definitely the flat-out worst but 8 is my least favorite, because I liked it so much on the first few discs but by the time I got to mid-disc 2, with the repeating enemies, the realization Squall's character would pretty much never evolve, and the single LAMEST plot twist in history, I felt like I'd been robbed fifteen hours of my life.
I hate FFVIII the most. It's long and crappy. FFVII DoC is short and crapy. X02 is very bleh as well but come on. IT has to be better than FFVII. I didn't hate it;s battle system. I just didn;t like anything else
Oh yeah forget FFXII as my least favorite FF game, I forgotten about FFVII: DoC. Was a little too linear, and it had way too many cutscenes, which drag down the pace.
FFVII DoC was in love with it;s own story. It had pointless frickin cut scenes in the middle of boss fights. The graphics in game were sub par, especiually for a Square game. There were only 3 guns. The game was easy. CAlling the enemies dumb as rocks would be insulting the intelligence of rocks. There was no variety in enemies at all. The level design suffered copy and paste syndrom. DoC was justr a bad...bad...aweful...terrible game. IT'S A SHOOTER WITHOUT A SHOT GUN! WHAT THE HELL! HOW CAN YOU NOT HAVE A SHOT GUN?
I don;t get why so many damn peole dog on FFXII. IT was brilliant. Great writing. Excellent directing. Fantastic dialog. Dark and complex storyline overflowing with plot twists. A series of excellent characters. Amazing graphics. A massive world that was alot of fun to explore. It didn';t feel linear like FFX did. It actually put some of the challenge back in the game. The gambit system was so flexible that you could have just as much or just as little control over hte action as you wanted.It didn';t firce you to use it. Brilliant musical score. No random battles. Seriously./ What's not to like about that game. It is hte first FF to ever do every siungle thing right

Yeah that what I hate the most. It really slow the pace. And most enemies were pretty stupid. The story however was interesting and you get to play as Vincent.:P But it still wasn't that good. I thought the third gun you get was a Shotgun.

FF8 was a great game, with great characters and a very unique bttle system. (i mean chracter development or whatever you wanna call it).
Ithought the story in DoC was pretty good. it only was a cheap game for square....like only 3-4 cinematics and the in-game graphic was terrible for square standard i agree with the copy/paste of the decors and the lack of enemy's intelligence ...(imean you could take your time to reload 2times before the enemie actually hit you with a bullet on HARD MODE!!!)

It was terrible. IT wasn;t evenm frickin Final Fantasy
I personally felt FFXII lacked story. It didn't interest me at all.
I think so far the first half of FFXII: RW has got more story and emotion than the whole of FFXII all together! XD

To even suggest that FFXII lacks story is laughable. I mean did you even pay attention? It has the darkest and the second most complex story in FF history. It was filled with emotion too
i think 12 had an alright story, it deffinetely wasn't as good as some other FF's but it was alright. as for RW haveing a better story then FFXII... maybe, i don't know about that.

Oh, I payed attention alright. Perhaps there was story in there somewhere (I honestly didn't think there was), but if there was it must have been so dull that it didn't interest me at all.
Mystic Quest is by far the worst FF game I've played. It was painfully easy and its cast of characters had about as much depth as a piece of rice paper. Of the numbered titles, FFII takes my number one spot for worst game. It seemed as if the game wanted you to spend the vast majority of your time level grinding so your party wouldn't die at every encounter. Leveling magic became particularly annoying, especially spells like Flare and Ultima, which do about as much damage as any other spell unless for some unholy reason you actually decided to max them out to level 17. I will give FFII credit for giving me at least one good laugh. It's hard not to laugh at a line like:
RW has a great story so far, im at chapter 8. FFXII should have been centred around ashe rather than vaan i thought. I think RW did good in developing penelo, because she was so undeveloped in FFXII
I thought FFXII WAS centred around Ashe rather than Vaan.
I also agree with you on Penelo. She did next to nothing in FFXII.
fs_metal: You'll never convince me FFXII had a good story. But then I think we all look for different things in our RPG stories. For me, for what ever reason, FFXII didn't have it. But it did for you, which is great.
what i meant was you play as vaan and its mostly from his viewpoint, it should have been from ashe;s instead. although balthier is the best character, it wouldnt work from his perspective i think
I was also quite disappointed in FFXII's story. It didn't have the flair in had in previous titlles but they were glimpses on it throughout the game, I think it just wasn't consistent enough. Throughout the game there were times where it got really interesting, then just plain boring - I suppose we all did expect something big, but I think it was more of the game length that was big, and not the revolved story plot. The character development was there at parts, but seemed to only be there at small points and never shown again. Ashe, Baltheir, Fran and Basch all had moments but I think travelling about the place too much degraded the games story i think. Still! It was very fun with the new battle system and overall high quality :)

I definitely agree with the portion of your analysis which I have placed in bold. The amount of story versus gameplay time seemed lacking. The biggest problem for me, however, wasn't so much the length, but the content. I found there to be almost no character development, although new things were happening and the characters were "learning" they didn't seem to develop new personality traits or open up to the audience. I found, as many others here have voiced, that it was almost impossible to become "attached" to these characters because they seemed so general and static.

FFXII wasn't character centered at all. It had no main character. IT was event driven and fantastic
