Playstation is going for the kill this generation. Ps4 to PC cross platform play, Street Fighter 5 exclusive, new God of War, alot of indie support, Persona 5, uncharted 4, etc. Hopefully xbox can get their shit together or they are gonna end up getting left behind again.

Stop dividing GAF, you!
But Jon tron made an episode about!
Kidding aside, I don't like 13 very much and understand if people say its bad. But that's not my issue with 13 .
The issue was, why did we need two sequels. And all the stuff that came with that. Epically the weird internal stuff. But I'm not going to dwell on that 13 is gone , despite how much toriyama wants his waifu to exist we have moved on. I now wait for the road trip game 15 and The Disney Square enix existential pow wow spectacular.

The reaction to Sony's keynote is why I extremely rarely post on gaming side.
FF7 troll was funny, though.

XII and XIII both disappointing imo. In no way do I want macros in my jrpgs. I dislike that aspect of the DA games as well. I prefer to micro manage my party. Otherwise it barely feels like I'm playing. I mean if you wanted to, you could set your gambits in XII up in such a way that the game will literally play itself.

someone never played MM Legends
Thats the point of the gambit system. I wish more rpgs had that. Having to click everything is a pain.I'd much rather just tweak strategies as needed and then override it when necessary.

The sequels are the best part of the whole 13 situation.
Then don't use it, and you have a normal Final Fantasy experience.
If the allocating resources to work on those games thing is true , I dunno.
I would argue 7 had a more effective villian due to the cultural impact.
Who is six's villain, Anime joker. Thats fine, that's ok, but that's what it is.
Who is 7's villian, a model that shall be used by character designers across all mediums for a very long ass time.
Don't matter though, best FF villian is kuja
All he wants to do keep his milk shake bringing the boys to the yard.
Thats it.

Nah I mean people were literally setting up gambits and doing some controller macgyver-ing and then they could walk away from the game entirely and come back later having earned levels.
Point of my post is that's not my thing. I don't even use macros in mmos. I want to play the game, not have the AI play for me.
Nah man. It wasn't the typical ATB experience even when you didn't use gambits.

You know how much money SE wasted on XIII's dev cycle.
You bet they were gonna recycle assets somehow.

Mother fuckers expecting Crash Bandicoot. The entire lead up and reaction to this day was embarrassing.
Lol allocate resources they were going to use for what? Versus 13?
Somewhere nomura is burning with rage.
Y'all are on-point with FFXII. The story didn't turn out how it should have (at the time most FF fans thought cut scenes were the most important parts of the games) and there were some late-game balance issues, but that game should've been the future of the franchise. It was the first game in the series where I didn't eventually get bored of combat because everything was in one seamless gameplay state. I spent like 90 hours on that game. And you can turn off gambits too. Just turn them off, turn on "wait mode," and it basically becomes more like a BioWare RPG where you micromanage every second of the fight.
In a better world Matsuno and his team would've led the way for JRPGs in general. Japanese devs wanna know how to appeal to the west, FFXII is basically how. Dragon Age on consoles is probably what took the most after FFXII. At least FFXV is looking fairly similar. At the time though, I could understand the backlash -- XII was basically "Final Fantasy for people who don't like Final Fantasy."
XII is the one FF game I need to see get an HD version on PS3 or PS4 or PC or something.

Let him, all the resources in the world wouldn't have got that game out quicker, they'd have just dug themselves a deeper hole. I'm dreading FF15's release, it cannot live up to all these years of hype. People are going to want to crucify motherfuckers over the smallest perceived flaw.

Let me tell you, it's worth digging up your copy and running it on a PC emulator. Instant HD edition. It's a beautiful thing. Same thing goes with RE Outbreak. Just the upped resolution does wonders for it. Beautiful thing.
I remember back when word first hit about him not being on the project anymore. Kagari was hinting and suggesting that namura was quite pissed and at something else and people were suggesting... he had FFvs ready to show at multiple points and square turned him away multiple times, if that's true and the combination of using staff and then taking him off the project I can understand why he is upset.

Marlow Briggs is better than Kratos, easy. Kratos is such a dipshit.
I did. I like it a lot.
My pal levelbest saw me play megaman legends and called it boring. Maybe I was taking too long getting the action I don't know.
Odd he thinks that's boring yet continuously plays Code Veronica and stuff.
Yo, not a minute into the game and they already calling a brother a slave.

Really? You're from god damn Melmac.
He overstayed his welcome.
LIES. You're swapping you and your friend's opinions because, as we all know, you hate everything.
LMAO! Is it really that bad?
Nah, I did like it, I thought it'd be well the future of Mega man games like how Zelda transfered to 3D. I thought wrong.
I thought the 3DS one looked bad cause you're not even playing as megaman from the previews of it, what gives? I don't give a crap about some new character. It's called Mega Man Legends.
Anyway, I like X but only played X4 and X1. Not the other ones, I hate Zero. Long haired fig newton.
It's amazing, my friend thinks that's boring yet continuously plays RE games
