Was Bartz even a character, really? All those FFV characters were like empty templates. Crap story but the gameplay is amazing. Sadly it gets forgotten a lot squeezed in between two of the best games of the series.

I could never really get into FFV same story for FF3, I think it was the lack of story. I like a good story in my FF's. Those along with 12 are the worst FF's in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to next month as there's gonna be a truckload of details revealed about XIII Versus which looks endlessly intriguing.

My favourite is Final Fantasy VII

I hope they make remake one day and make Sephiroth even harder to beat that would be great

Sephiroth is best villain

Aeris and Tifa best characters

Laguna's been confirmed as a playable character in the new Dissidia. It took me by surprise, I was expecting Seifer or Edea as a second FF8 representative.

I've started to play FFXIII again, I'm enjoying it a lot more the second time around, I'm catching a few details that i missed the first time like how Vanille's story is hinted at in at the start when she's the only character with 3 ATB segments.

Just ordered FF7

[Scarlett.]

I hate to be a sheep but I'm already loving VII

[Tom4784]

Where abouts are you in it?

[Novo]

I'd love to erase my memory of FFVII and play it again, nothing beats playing it the first time

[Scarlett.]

I've just got past the bit where the reactor blows up and you fall through the church roof lol

[Tom4784]

Ah, It gets way better once you get out of Midgar.

[Scarlett.]

Awesome

[Tom4784]

Yuna's been confirmed for Dissidia 012, interestingly she's in her summoner mode which surprised me. I thought her Gunner mode would have been more suitable for a fighting game.

[Stu]

I used to love Midgar. After yer 15th time playing through it though you really want to get out of it and on to the 'real' game.

The first time that world map music hits is bliss.

A domain name for Final Fantasy XIII-2 has been registered, it has been revealed.

The web address was issued by a company who previously registered domains for several Square Enix properties, according to UFFSite.net.

It is speculated that an announcement could be made at the firm's Japanese showcase next week.

Last year Square Enix refused to rule out the possibility of a direct sequel to the game.

I wouldn't mind this if they learnt from the errors of XIII, with the exception of Snow I liked all the characters and the story wasn't bad (if a little vague). If they make the sequel less linear and the plot more concise then I think it could easily surpass XIII.

[Stu]

Could be nice for those who really wanted to enjoy the mythology of XIII and didn't like the gameplay format. It was far from their most popular game though so this reeks of laziness and/or a business opportunity to cash in on more casual/female fans XIII's advertising campaign may have attracted.

I hate to be a repetetive old bastard about it but to me FF will always be about world maps, random battles, and that sort of thing. Even though I did enjoy X and X-2 a lot. X just had the wow factor the first time you played through it and X-2 is a very good one for extra quests and nuts as nails bosses. I loved the lightening fast battle system in it.

I'm waiting for Chewy to get back with his thoughts about the cross dressing sequence. I wonder did it haunt him for life yet.

[Tom4784]

Well I think if a Sequel is happening it'll be based on Pulse and I doubt they'd ignore the criticism so I'm quite optimistic about it, That Square conference is happening in a few days so I'm guessing we could get a small announcement about it then although I don't expect anything more then that since they'll be focusing on Versus and Kingdom Hearts.

Ah the cross dressing part, even more traumatic if he picks you

FFX seems so old now can't believe it's been nearly 10 years since it was Released in Europe.. that was the last truly great RPG for me.. there has been a few since then FFX-2 was very good and addictive but for me the main attraction to the game was doing the side quests and the the Search for Tidus storyline was never going to top the pilgrimage/Sin storyline in FFX

[Novo]

Level 14 before the fight with the Guard Scorpion, I think this could be my new record

I really like the look of it, the gameplay is very Kingdom Hearts esque. I like the style of it as well, I can see what they mean about that fantasy and Reality stuff. From what I hear though it's not out until next year at the least and it's looking like it's a PS3 Exclusive.

[LemonJam]

I'm seriously tempted to get XIV... and I don't know why. I'm not big at all on MMORPGs and it got negative reviews but... I want it for some reason.

Did anyone get it?
