Just viewing the score displayed isn't enough. I absolutely implore you to watch the video review, and the comments are worth a glance over.
My friend who brought it to my attention was quite riled up, but I for some reason couldn't stop laughing. I don't know but what the guy says in the review just struck me funny.
Oh, and by the way, they scored Shadow the Hedgehog higher than this. :shock::o:P
Well, it's definitely difficult to say which one is actually superior to the other. Either one has thier respective strenghts and weaknesses. However, it's definitely for certain that FF7 is the most popular and by far the most influential.
Of couse everyone should know each person has a different depiction of what is the best of Final Fantasy even in 2D.
The general consensus though is that Final Fantasy VI is indeed the best not only in 2D but in all of theFinal Fantasy installments. Although it's not my favorite, I too, consider Final Fantasy VI to be the pinnacle of the Final Fantasy franchise as of yet.
Switching between Gamespot and Gamefaqs is really unnecessary. The message boards of each game here in Gamespot are shared with Gamefaqs(i.e. they are the exact same thing, except for appearance only). You can tell if a poster is part of Gamespot(if viewing from Gamespot) because theire pic will show up whereas all Gamefaq members have no pics shown. Also, this is why the sigs don't show up on the message boards.
I am not so sure blood alone effects rating like you all think it does. Take Oblivion for example. It is rated T forViolence, Blood, Gore, Language, Sexual Themes and Use of Alcohol. FF could add blood throughout the entire game and it would probably avoid the M ratingfs_metal
Correction. Oblivion is rated M. The ESRB upgraded it, in May, two months after it was released.
Now back to the topic at hand. Judging from everyone's response, I think I can safely say that no one has any real desire for more blood to be implemented in Final Fantasy games. Anyone that has a knacking for blood and gore, would choose a more appropiate game to get thier fix(God of War, Mortal Kombat, etc...). Any excessive amounts of blood placed within a Final Fantasy game would not only alienate some fans but would also make it arkward, as the scenes of the game usually do not demand much blood on sight.
Final Fantasy is designed from the ground up to not reveal anything more than trace amounts of blood. This is a good thing for all us, as we need not worry about scenes getting edited just to get the desired T rating(as was the case for Xenosaga Episode III). The directors do an excellent job in portraying all the pain, suffering, and sorrow without the show of blood, and in my book, that is true skill.
So does Final Fantasy need blood? Well, not much, at least. In a stretched analogy, it's similar to how Tekken shows no blood yet it still gives the impression that the moves really hurt. Final Fantasy does what it does best, and it delivers all of that without any blood.
