I think those games are very difficult to make a movie sequel for. FFVII worked cause it was pretty open ended, you didn't know what happened to everyone. FFX is especially tough since it had a sequel game which wrapped everything up. If they didn't make FFX-2 then FFX would have been very good.
The discussion of prequels seems to be a better idea. I wonder if an FFVII-0 would be cool. I know they've mainly discussed what happens before hand, and you have things like Crisis Core and that anime short, but I just thought it would be cool having a movie, or possibly better would be lots of anime shorts like the Animatrix.
A prequel to FFX I think would be my favourite out of the choices on offer, since I would like to see the story of what Jecht and Yuna's father went through.
I usually end up ok. It's mainly because if I struggle with nearby enemies then I'll tend to stick around and start levelling up so the enemies are a bit easier to kill. I took it overboard though in FFVII though. When I was at the prison at the Gold Saucer, I spent a few days levelling up because you had a place to sleep so you could heal for free so it was a good training spot. Found the rest of the game easy until final Sephiroth battle which took me a few goes to finish.
I don't really think you can be too old to play games. The only problem I think we might have would be to afford the new consoles and the games. I hope I manage to make enough savings to be able to play them. I might end up spending all those savings before I get old buying new consoles and games. I agree with Am13roses in that gaming has been such a big influence to us. I think steadily gaming amongst the older generations will grow as people who grew up with the likes of the Spectrum, Atari and Amiga begin to reach elderly age. Soon enough there will come a point when the whole world won't remember a time without video gaming.
Just got an invite from kinetic-core. I'm Mike, and I'm 22 years old, from Liverpool, England. FFVII was my introduction to the series and remains my favourite. Just drooling over FFXIII and how much I want a PS3.
