That's an extremely impressive strawman you've got there. You've clearly put a lot of work into it.

Personally, I find myself angry and depressed upon each FF release because it's such a sad and pathetic commentary on the world we live in. Here we have a series built on bad storytelling, bad characters, bad plots, bad gameplay, and bad interface design and it's one of the most celebrated game franchises of all time. It would be like Atari Teenage Riot putting out albums for 20+ years and all of them going double-platinum.

I really don't understand all the Final Fantasy bashing. Final Fantasy = Epic-ish storyline & Archetypal characters & Combat engine & Pretty graphics. Everyone knows this by now, and yet every release everyone whines about how Squaresoft really screwed the pooch this time around, Final Fantasy 6/7/8/10 was way better, and if they don't pull their head out of their ass the company is finished. Never mind that they have enough money to print their next limited edition release on actual gold discs. Okay that's exaggerating, but you see my point.
The point is that you already know for the most part what you're getting into when you open the box, and it should not surprise you. I enjoyed the crap out of Final Fantasy XIII because the graphics amazed me, the combat system was fun and engaging, and I actually enjoyed the story's pacing for the most part. It doesn't hurt that I think their characters have been getting better with each subsequent release. If you can't stand the characters, or don't like the combat, or aren't willing to watch for 20 hours while the thing gets going, then play a different game. No-one is forcing you to buy this one, and I'd be happy to recommend alternatives.

She looks like Nic Endo from Atari Teenage Riot, doesn't she ?

The concept developped in this video was very appealing ... until the "player" used a gun, again ...

Btw, i want this game on my desk, NOW !

Interesting concept, the end was missing though.

oh, and my reply post to your Atari Teenage Riot post is here; http://www.videosift.com/video/Robert-Kennedy-averts-riots-in-Indianapolis-night-MLK-died


In reply to your comment:
“Congratulations on your star. ”

As Attorney General, Robert Kennedy helped write and sign the directives asking for FBI surveilance of Dr. King... an odd note for the history buffs.

I forgot to say that this was a response post to djsunkid's post here;
