Fuck with Yakuza breh, it's basically fucking dudes up on the street beat em up style with a dope storyline and shenmue-esque weird ass daily life elements. They have a ton of shit packed into those games.
my favourite game of all time is FFVII
thats all I'm saying
Be a Square stan breh. Stan for a company with nothing but contempt and scorn for their fanbase.
Not even stanning, I don't think there's a pub/dev worse than Square be a fan of.

This is how you look right now homie.
And the sad thing is the stans are gonna take that shit anyway.
I just don't understand how a company can be so incompetent. How is it possible?
HOW SWAY?!?!!

It was a really well executed troll IMO.
- It's a port of a (PC) port
- RELIVE BLAH BLAH BLAH, all this old footage and you just keep waiting for it to switch to new like Halo Anniversary or something and it never does
- Even in his preamble he mentions how you can basically play the entire thing for free because someone remade the entire game in LBP in the time Squeenix spent being incompetent
- The best part? Because it's FFVII you pretty much know people will react positively. Just like those fuckers bought up all the limited edition soda and all the other shit they squeezed out of the IP.

I mean though, FF7 was just a decent game. That's all it was. Pretty standard combat. Some good minigames and optional bosses, but overall the only reason it's so loved / sold so much is cause it felt like such a big bump up in presentation at the time and for the existential story that cuts right to the heart of every angsty teen. TBH, most of the environments are really bland looking as far as art too, and it stayed the same way whenever they tried to sell spinoffs, movies, etc to CountGoofules throughout the years.

You were doing so good, too. This is your Kingdom Come of posts. People are just going to try to move forward and pretend this shit never existed.
I'm hardly the only person in the world who thinks ff7 is a bland, above average game with some bright spots. Have you replayed it in the past couple years? I'd take 4, 6, 10, 12, Tactics etc over it anyday.
I might even say X-2 fanservice aside is a more fun game to actually play with the class system. Call this post Blueprint 3 if you want.

he's not wrong: FF VII was a fucking landmark moment for CG & presentation at the time, but everything else - plot, character, OST etc - felt like a step back from VI, to be honest. it was a huge deal at the time & no one can take from that, but when most of what you had was for show, it's gonna age you
let's see how many people check for cameron's Avatar a decade from now

You're never the only person to have any opinion. Everything has haters, that's just the way it is. But when you say FFVII has dull environments, that's some crazy shit. Of all the legit criticisms you can have, that's not even in the top 40. That and the music are basically milestones in gaming. You're right about the angsty fish-in-a-barrel story, but dull environments? That's just some off the wall shit.
EDIT: And X was straight garbage, through and through. Beginning of the end of the company. VI GOAT still.

But I am the revisionist doe
The thing is, when FFVII does get it right it really nails it. Like; if we're going to be honest I think the character designs are really good and have weathered for a reason. It's the environments that are terrible and boring except dat golden saucer that make the game whatever to play through. The OST is hit or miss. When it hits, it's really good (great battle theme, shinra reactor etc).
My man.
FFX was great; story resolution aside. Fun, satisfying combat, exploration, great art style, environments. I loved the summon and crafting systems. Even the character designs are good. One of the last good things square did along with kingdom hearts 1.

Wait Esch is right about X-2 tho. That's actually an incredibly underrated game. Gameplay wise it is honestly some of the most fun I have had with an rpg

yeah i did find X kinda forgettable...inoffensive, but didn't stay with me. oddest choice for an HD remake but it was prolly easiest & sold well for a nearly year-1 PS2 title as well
i mean i see esh's reasons but lack of an overworld, some forgettable characters (always an issue, never moreso than VIII though)...i mostly wanted to stay for Auron personally. heard awesome things about X2 but never got around to it...still FF X's OST is pretty tight

Now we talking shit about the soundtrack? lol. Okay. Forgot y'all were addicted to all fuckery all the time in here.
Breh what? X is awesome.

talk to em fam. FFVII OST is :whew:.
I think the FF series probably has the best soundtracks in gaming.. that and probably Street fighter. no bias, breh
FFX was great tho.
X's only major failing besides that stupid ending is some aspects of the sphere grid. It makes it too difficult for you to customize the characters on replays. The rare spheres that let you jump across the grid and learn skills other characters are too hard to find/farm. But then again this is a japanese game, and they prefer to focus on 'depth' rather than giving you freedom and 'breadth.'
Blitzball still the goat minigame.
Kimahri sucks.

Nah, blitzball is ass I'm sorry
All facts.
I used Kimahri the least. Then i had to struggle through that segment where you can only used Kimahri. :mjcry
Another arguable flaw : some of the quests they put you up to to unlock final weapons for each character were fucking nuts. Like dodging lightning 200 times for Lulu. What the hell? But then again like I said you had that crafting system that let you make plenty of great weapons as good, better, or maybe a touch worse than those.
GOAT gimmick: summoning yojimbo and splashing that cash. if you got him at the right time / grind he was incredible.
FFX is still a great game though.

Based on what? The game was a overly linear mess with first gen voice acting and some of the worst characters in the series. It wasn't as bad as say, 13, but it's definitely in the bottom five of the numbered, non-MMOs.
Final Fantasy overworlds generally suck ass though imo. Low levels of interactivity, mediocre visual detail, meh to borderline nonexistent NPC interaction. The whole point of one is to give you a fluid world to interact and explore and they never deliver on that. Like, they might as well not even try, which is why I like X. The linearity makes it a real focused experience for the most part.

I don't even mind X being as linear as it is. The game still provided so many extra things to do outside of the story.

hahaha fuck yeah, the lightning dodging shit can suck my dick
i felt this way too, but i was told i you don't get some ability early on it's brutal, supposed to be an absolute blast if you get into it though
yeah, as a zelda fan this crosses over for me - the transition from classic 2 to 3D broke the pacing in many places & left barren spots that do nothing to reward your exploration, much less systems in place for such rewards most times anyway. the last FF overworld i found that begged to be explored was easily XII, and when you sort out that it's all connected (and how to not get slaughtered by elementals) i think it's brilliant

13 is the overlinear mess. 10 was fine. Great gameplay. So many memorable sequences. Great soundtrack. Shit is dope breh. Its one of the better entries in the series.
The re-release has the Expert Mode available right off the bat so you can use the Expert Sphere Grid. It's a lot more open and you aren't bounded to just that specific characters path. You can venture off into other characters' abilities right from the very beginning.
Wasn't that bad. The Ronso scales to your stats. You just weren't very good. :trollbron:
First time playing FFX, I got every legendary weapon except for Lulu. Fuck that shit. I will hate it till the day I die.

Man I hated that shit so much. I got the Remaster for FFX and still couldn't do it ;_;

Brother was my dude for most of my Blitzball games (just to get Wakka's Legendary and Abilities)
