:lol It seems all IGN does is look at the pictures and make the info up as they go. Like how they said the Warrior of Light and Garland were Cecil and Kain, then later said Garland was a Judge from FFXII.

Actually I do, and you have a very valid point which I can't deny. Although, Noctis Lucis Caelum and Stella Nox Fleuret sound so artificial it ruins the immersion. All names are great, I'd love to play as Noctis, and Lucis, and Caelum, and Stella, and Nox and Fleret.
But as one singular name, it just sounds so tacky!

should have used greek... greeks had the best names damnit
Anyway, most peoples names have meaning...given that most people (read next to nobody) on here has much familiarity with Latin, the names should just sound foreign... I think they are fine...better than Edge Maverick anyway hehe

I'd be more excited if this release wasn't starting to take on the feeling of vaporware. Maybe Vaporware is the wrong word though, "Chinese Democracy-esque" might be better.stuburns said:
And frankly, I'm getting concerned that Square's lost it's touch. They haven't put anything of non-remake value out since Final Fantasy XII, which was 2 1/2 years ago IIRC.

They did nothing between X-2 and XII and XII is still good.
They did nothing between X and X-2, X-2 was still amazing.
They did nothing between IX and X, and X was still phenomenal.
I don't think of SE any higher then Konami, they have one really good series that they iterate on every three or four years, and a bunch of crap ip/ports/remakes between them (maybe that's a slight exaggeration). I'm fine with that. I see no reason to doubt any of the FNC games will be amazing. The XIII team hasn't done anything since X-2, it's not like they've spiraled down to making cooking mama.

Yes it was.
The story was bollocks but the battle system was so much fun I didn't care.
And it did, it just happens to be the highlight of that particular installment, the same way the art direction was the highlight of FF8, and the development system was especially weak, it didn't make it a bad game at all.cw_sasuke said:
X-2 is an excellent game, it's not a stereotypical Final Fantasy, I think the '-2' gave them some sort of distance from the franchise conventions. I personally thought it was amazing, better then XII which most people claim to be the best of them for a long time.
cw_sasuke said:
Great music, great graphics, great battle system, great job system, great pacing, cheesy story.
The story wasn't that good for you? Sorry about that, maybe next time go read a book instead of be playing a game. Which If you don't know, they are more than just stories, yes, and that includes Final Fantasy and RPGs in generals.
An awesome story on a shitty game doesn't cut it as a great game, although a shitty story on a great game does still cut it.
If you have any other reasons why X-2 isn't supposed to be a great game besides the story please spill it out, if not then books are your friends.

Its only been 2 1/2 years since FFXIII was announced. And a demo is coming in March, doesn't really seem like vapor ware.
If we are lucky, FFXIII will come out in Japan next fall and then it will only be a 3 year wait. The wait for FFXII was longer if you didn't play FFX-2 or longer if you didnt play FFXI either.

Just talking about Final Fantasy, not counting Mana, Kingdom Hearts, or Enix franchises:
FFXII Revenant Wings
FFXII Zodiac System
Crisis Core FFVII
FF Tactics A2
FFCC Rings of Fate
FFCC My Life as a King
Like 2 or 3 FF chocobo games.
The World Ends with You
Sigma Harmonics
I think those are a lot of FF games and a couple of new IPs.
FNC looks nice, blah blah, same old same old. Just want them now.
Disappointed SE had no coverage on the DQIX side of things in Famitsu this week though, looking forward to that a lot more right now, especially I've been on a "DQ high" since I played DQVDS and started replaying VIII.
It had a few good tracks (though sometimes it got boring imo, but I think every soundtrack has a few weaker songs) and really fun gameplay.
Pretty much all I wanted (and expected) from that game in particular, as I got vibes about what to expect from it since I heard of it.

Those aren't particularly relevant comparisons, and in some cases they aren't even true; for example Kingdom Hearts II came out in between 10-2 and 12 and I think that was a great game; and the comparison of the period between 9 and 10 isn't even remotely relevant. That was literally like 7 years ago. That's like saying Nintendo makes great games for the Wii becuase Super Mario Bros. 3 was really cool; it's just not a contextual comparison; that was pre-Enix merger, even. And even if we are saying that's relevant, Final Fantasy X came out about a little over 1 year after the PS2 was released. FFXIII doesn't even have a release date, and in the case of the 360, we're speculating on a release 4 years after the console was released.stuburns said:
I see lots of reason to doubt that the FNC games will be good; Square hasn't shown much to me in the 7th generation hardware with anything, really. They've done a good job farming out Final Fantasy remakes and Dragon Quest remakes on portables based on 5th generation hardware, but that's about it as far I can tell.
Angry Grimace said:
You see lots of reasons because you don't want to see the DS/PSP games right?
It really doesn't matter if they haven't put up anything on PS3/360 (Square side again), they have put awesome games on DS and PSP, should you not be so blind, then maybe you wouldn't be spilling such mad thoughts.

What, you mean Crisis Core and the World Ends with You? I don't think Square is exactly lighting the world on fire there in that category either. What awesome releases have they done there beyond those?-Kh- said:
I think it's perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of the capabilities of a company that can't get a product out at ALL for either 7th gen platform for 3+ years into it's life cycle. Can any other company really say that they've been that behind? Probably not, because they simply couldn't have gotten away with that. I mean, we're talking about a company that's managed one console release, and that was Infinite Undiscovery, which wasn't special.
