ouch, it actually hurts to start readin what you guys posted. Anyway, does anyone actually really know for sure what kind of genre Crisis Core is fallin into? Action or RPG or whatever that is? It's about time some more info is released about that title...

Also, on Tidus... i think i know quite a number of guys that behaves like him. Don't think it's an Asian trend do you? Whiny *tick* Cries easily *tick* Has "girly" looks *tick* and everything else *tick tick tick*

On a side note, Tidus does not have girly looks, all teengae Asian guys look like that. And they're charming that way.

aside from your take on what you prefer in guys....like we needed to know that....I think you misinterpreted what i said, I meant that Tidus, do  to the designers being in Japan and text translations or w.e, they were misinterpreted in English thus making what would have been a real character, with great emotion a little out there.....

Crisis Core is said to be action RPG, this could mean one of two things....it could be a mission based game where you go to level to level killing individuals or it could be a Zelda style, freeroamer (which I hope it is) which permits  the gamer to traverse freely and explore in addition to fightiing foes, as far as weapons and hp and stuff i doubt they will presue a Zelda style, instead they will have some sort of statistic based weapon system

[QUOTE="terran3999999"]P.S: Nobody has ever played Parasite Eve?! Now that game was godly, too bad I thought DoC will be like that...now I will tread Crisis Core with caution. fs_metal

In regards to ur first post....What was wrong with Tidus? I mean the majority of the lead characters are weird..what made Tidus so bad :P

Also on the topic of Crisis Core, I am totally pumped for it, but how do you think they are going to the gameplay? will it be freeroam? or a mission based style like DoC? (mission based blew)

Well i don't know how you can justify him being one fo the whiniest characters....but his emotions were definately awkward along with his personality, hes saying he hates his dad all the time, he talks liek freaking yoda sometimes (his grammer is more backwards than anything :P) but overall I didn't find him too bad, since my opinion of all the lead characters in all the FF games is weird, the only individual i believed retained a strong character was Squall ( i can't spell today sry) since his anti-social loner type character was constant, and he pertained to this character throughout unlike Cloud..who one second is mr. Cheery and enthusiastic, the next hes pestimistic and all "badass"

Some fo the strongest characters of all time i believe are Auron firstmost....I am sorry but he alone prolly made FFX as great as it is... although they limited his role in the story significantly, Vincent from FFVII who was an individual attempting to cope with his sorrowful past and regrets in love (he personally is my favorite character ever), and Vivi who conjured the most dire question of all humanity "Do we really exist, who knows maybe we don't" he handled the concept well, and took an innocence approach along with self discovery, unlike Zidane who was an SOB and sort of ruined the uniquenes to Vivi's scenario....these three compose my strongest characters of the entire series ever, they are the most memorable in my opinion (Vincent almost had a bigger story than Cloud, and Vivi certainly had a better/more depth to his story than Zidane, and Auron although sorta a shadow on the story, he was just pwnage :P)

you know this is opinion..therefore we will never come to a conclusion however it turns of popularity main characters such as Cloud, Vaan and Tidus are the best, and people vote this on majority..your just "special" or :"unique" in your opinion...and unfortunately i have to respect that :P

And yet FFX was in many opinions, one the best games ? Also Tidus said those things because his father was a monster (literally and figuratively) Tidus hated him, and wouldn't you be in near tears of having to kill your own father...well lets put it this way ...FFX in english...things may have came out wrong...however the intent behind such actions made the memorable characters...

also Ryu is right....its all opinionated...there exists no right or wrong really, since it is based on perspective

Guh man, i know what your saying, you saying having a crappy character can still make a good game, but by "bad" we are getting into opinionated terms, since good in bad are of perspectives, so you may view Tidus as a bad character, while I may view himas a mediocre character (if that :P )

And just to clarify I get what you meant in your post...but I think the game creators were trying to create realism, give emotion to the characters...and obviously they failed since neither you or I can even begin to interpret wtf was going on :D , like the message was unclear

Because we are making super huge quote boxes :P isn't that reason enough to debate FF?

Don't think I could sit that long lol. And what if it dies in the middle of the ocean?-weezer-

Chocobos cant die :P I've tried killing them in FF games, :P therefore it is my belief that I would never have to worry about dyiing in the middle of the ocean :P, plus I ain't much of a traveller, best place to be is at home I say

Basically there are three main reasons why companies do this.

1) Outwit the Competition
So other companies don't steal thier ideas and then implement them in a rushed and unsatisfying game? SquareEnix takes a long time producing it's Final Fantasy games. That's a huge void in time for someone else to steal the spotlight.

2) Build the Hype
From a marketing persperctive, it's not wise to reveal all the eggs in the basket because by the time the game is actually released the hype has died down. People jump up and down at every bit of new facts and footage, but eventually that effect wears off and the general masses move on.

3) They don't know
Yeah, you see... most games in the end aren't always what was originally done on the concept board. As production moves along, things change. For example, if you ever looked at the early trailers and concept art for Okami, they look quite different from the end product. Or how about Halo: Combat Evolved? The game was originally planned as a real-time srategy game but now as we all know, it became a first-person shooter. I could also go on about how Devil May Cry was originally conceived as a Resident Evil game but I think we all get the idea. The bottom line is that companies don't want to release information that might be proven false later on or state features that won't be implemented. Even characters and plot can change throughout production.

[QUOTE="kinetic-core"][QUOTE="fs_metal"]When they get brain damaged and begin to think it is a good idea?fs_metal

no I think metal fails to understand how business works....you overuse a good title i.e. movie titles untill it is overused and has lost its touch "milk it for all the money its worth"

And back to the topic, they are making numerous FFVII sequels and are already making FFVII for the PS3 if I am not mistaken.....however the story as it currently stands for the FF series is incomplete..so we can expect to see some more sequels, and maybe prequels if Crisis Core doesn't cover "G" enough....we can already expect another possibly two sequels following Dirge

Final Fantasy VI. When the FFVII compilation was announced, they said they were considering doing a series of sequels and prequels to itfs_metal

Core stated that the choices were between VIII, IX, X, and XII

or else ya what you said would make alot of sense....they better not make it a stupid release and put some work into remaking it

However of the choices stated I would most likely say XII since I believe rumors of a title being made are already underway...however I would like to see either FF I remade :D comon wouldn't that be sweet? with like a whole new battle style, insane graphics, some multiplayer, and maybe online compatibility ...make the "one" final fantasy the best....who needs story :P
