Title: Pre-order Final Fantasy XII! DO IT NOW!!!
Post by: Simulacra on 04 Sep 2005, 22:30
So I'm bumming around the local Gamestop killing some time before work the other day and I get to chatting with the guys at the counter about the 2 new systems.  After a bit, I decide to pick their brains about the release date for FFXII.  They were saying fall of nest year and then ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO PRE-ORDER THE DAMN THING!  a year in advance.  so, you guys excited about this one? couldn't care less? have already hired out assassins for whoever came up with the idea for the E3 Final Fantasy 7 tease?

Pre-orderering is such fucking bullshit.  The geniuses behind that concept deserve a swift kick in the nuts.  I order new games online (sometimes from eb or gamestop's website, mind you) and only go to game stores to pick through their used game racks.

There's no need to pre-order. SquareEnix isn't dumb enough to NOT ship a bitchload of copies for their flagship series (Square's anyway). Either way, I'm looking forward to Dragon Quest VIII, Shadow Hearts III, and Grandia III a whole lot more.

Oh, and FFVI sucks.

So anyway, I'm so glad that this one is being directed by those responsible for Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics. This means that the game should be dark. Me loves dark. Hopefully, the plot is up to par with the director's previous works.

That gives me a little more hope. I've been iffy about FF games ever since the jump to Squenix.

Corrected.

The plot and characterisation of FF7 make me atrociously wet. I pray beyond all hope for a ps2/ps3 remake of that game. The combination of graphics, story and gameplay (Materia system, bitches) would render all other 3D RPG's essentially obsolete.

And how come Square never made any other Seiken Densetsu (Secret of Mana) or decent Chrono Trigger games? Idiots. Seiken Densetsu 3 and Chrono Trigger are at the pinnacle of true 2d Gaming as a whole. Timeless fucking classics, I can't believe they haven't been updated beyond that Chrono Trigger version with Akira Toriyama cut-scenes.

On which note a Chrono-trigger anime would be insanely rule.

I am not looking forward to FF7, even though i like the series overall.

Also, they will probably never make another Chrono trigger (other than Chrono Cross) because it simply cannot match or outdo the original.

I know, the guys in the FF series keep getting more and more effeminate. I'm secretly hoping that FFXIII will have someone manly like Solid Snake...

the final fantasy male character went from surly and obtuse (7, 8, i started at 7 so ;\) to all of a sudden optimistic and sensative! (9, 10). i dunno what's up with that.

It's because then Angst was in style and now being one of those cunts who wears girly clothes (and are guys) are in style.


Also: Japan is weird.

I've got barrels of the stuff in the back room - stocked up big right in the early '90s and then when grunge hit the wall damned if I wasn't stuck with the stuff.  Whaddya want?  I've got "Peer-pressure" angst, "Sudden appearance of an unusual rash" angst, "Trying to balance the books" angst, "Pending exam failure" angst - or there's the more general, broad-spectrum stuff: "Where is my life going?" angst, "Nobody loves me" angst . . . etc.  Special deal, this month only: buy one jar of Camus-style  existentialist angst, get a free sample of "King Lear" angst.  That one's a doozy!

Is there any way a possible trade for "Candide" for anything?

After Advent Children... it just make me want a new Final Fantasy even more.  Hopefully Squenix will take the hint from people worshipping the tech demo and work on a remake.

i'll take two of the "where is my life going", two of the "nobody loves me", please. also can you blend them in together nicely?

do you have any "i'm gaining too much weight" angst or "my hair is stupid" angst?

Nice try, Giygas, but you wont win that easily!

Im a whore for FF7, and 6 also had much sock rocking, but 9 and 10 made me want to die.

Dear Square-Enix Folk
If the next Final Fantasy Game is bad, im coming for your organs!
Much Love.

YOU SPEAKETH THE WORD OF GOD.

Or, rather, if God happens to be an alien creature from 30,000 lightyears away like in Shadow Hearts, then you speak the word of...the devil? O_O

But besides that, you win. I agree with everything you said and I'm happy that someone else knows about Seiken Densetsu 3. It makes my heart smile.
