People beg Final fantasy to go back to its roots

[QUOTE="Sagem28"]

So true.

Remember how Shiva looked in FFX ? My favorite summon of all the FF games right there ! I love how she threw her cloak at Yuna, in a "Hold this while I kick some ass" kinda way :lol:

FFX was the pinnacle of Summons if you ask me.

Good old times, suddenly I have this urge to go and replay FFX again.

Same here :P

Zelda: SS isn't staying to its roots, it's quite possibly the most different 3D Zelda of the lot. I don't know why people keep saying this. And I'm thankful that FF has changed throughout the years, there's no reason for FF going back to a format they've already visited multiple times.

No.... just remake FF6 in FF13 battle system and start doing something new. ATB was good back in those days. Not any more.funsohng

oh wow, just wow. that would be terrible

nah some were very colorful to my taste, i think ff viii had the best summons, still i want to play it again, damn this thread.

While I missed the FFVII during its glory days, I played FF8 shortly after it was released before I even knew about how amazing FFVII was supposed to be. I bought Ape Escape with some birthday cash and saw the plain PAL boxart with a cool logo design. I thought the name was interesting and the case was thick which made me curious. Got home, loaded up Ape Escape and forgot about FF8.

A few weeks later I had nothing to do and remembered I'd bought that game called FF8. I popped it in and was hooked from the first cut scene. Absoloutly blown away. Then after the PS2 came out and I saw FFX on Gamespot and in magazines I was so hyped, but I didn't buy a PS2 for quite some time. When I finally bought one, the first thing I did was buy FFX and FFX-2... And, well:

HA HA HA HA HA.

I didn't really match the experience I had with FF8. Turns out I really liked the more serious tone in FF8.. I guess I'd love FFVII also. I never finished it FFX, and never opened FFX-2. I might have to buy it again one day.

Edit: Wow. I actually was going to reply to this thread on topic but got side tracked and forgot what I was talking about. I want FF to go back to its roots, but be more serious and darker in theme. None of this 'We'll save the world with the power of love and friendship!" kind of stuff.

'We'll save the world with the power of love and friendship!" kind of stuff.

LOL as I said earlier they try waaay too hard to be poignant and emotional and just comes off as really really cheesy, just thinking about some of the dialogue form XIII makes me cringe,. Do they actually listen to these dialogue sequences?

Main reason why I have fallen out of favour with JRPG the writing is terrible, say waht you want about Mass effect , dargon age ( yes even dragon age 2) and other WRPG at least they are better written with normal dialouge as opposed to "heros always save the day" and "moms are tough" Bulls***t from FFXIII

[QUOTE="vanadiel242424"][QUOTE="PcGamingRig"]As do I!

svetzenlether

Me too. Random encounters and turn-based battles ARE JRPGs.

tbo i don't care what either one does or does not do. both are just old series i was sick of years ago.

FF6>FF9>FF7>FFT>>>>>All else

I will be happy with FF 13-2 and 14 for now but the gba gen saw remade FF1&2 the DS gen saw remade 3&4 and so I'm hoping 3DS sees 5&6.

I like how Square Enix keeps moving forward with new ideas on battle systems and whatnot so I'd rather they didn't go back to their roots. Final Fantasy XII is my favorite one in the series and overall one of my favorite games of all time but yeah Final Fantasy XIII wasn't as great but better than what all the haters make it out to be.

Saying that you are a Final Fantasy fan is fickle as there never seems to be anyone who has enjoyed all the game. The FF fanbase is largely split which is a good thing imo.

[QUOTE="PcGamingRig"]

[QUOTE="Spartan070"] I do! :cry:vanadiel242424

Bright it back I say! FF13 was a tragic occurence.

Who wants FF to go back to boring Turn based random battle crap?The_Djoker

(raises hand)

I want it in terms of stories and things to do, but I can live without the turn based fighting. FF9 is my favourite final fantasy, but I'm tired of turn based I want more action

If we're talking about FFs alone, since that's what we're doing now, here goes my list so far:

1. FFX
2. FFXII
3. FFVII
4. FF Tactics
5. FFIX
6. FFXIII
7. FFXII Revenant Wings
8. FFVI
9. FFX-2
10. FFI
11. FFII

I haven't played FFVIII much, it wasn't so far that much to my fancy. FFIII is the same (the remake), really want to get IV.

To be fair, if you try to stock everything to 100% in FF8 you're already overpowered beyond any reasonabe means. There is no reason to grind in that game, especially when you can already break the game by stocking 100% of powerful spells from refining. Curaga from tents. :|

Again, to those who are suggesting we go "back" to turn based, you do realize thatFF4, FF5, FF6, FF7, FF8, and FF9 were not turn based, correct?

In FFX you actually take turns. One person goes, then an enemy or character. With FF7, 8, and 9 they use an ATB system so while you take turns between your characters, the system isn't actually turn based because turns aren't taken between you and the enemy.

If Sqaure made a game like FF4, or FF6, or FF7 with the best possible graphics id be one happy camper.

Welll For those saying that they don't want FF to go back to turn based do people remember how fail some of the Early Action RPG's were in comparison to how well done the Turned based one's were? Except Secret of mana... it would be cheating to use that agaisn't my point :P besides it really was like a Turned Based RPG with all it's elemets except the combat you can move :|

I have EVERY final fantasy game ever released, exept for part13, which was a disgrace for every final fantasy fan. If Square would go back to its turn based roots and creates an original game, not an interactive movie, I would stay first in line.

I have beaten FFI-XII(besides XI) and I loved XIII.. :(

I agree with the guy who said FFVI is the best FF game.

IMO FFVI is the best game ever created period, and still the only game that actually made me cry.

Damn rachel, pheonix scene.
