What's Final Fantasy?

[Eldaena]

What if they added a namingway or w/e ways, another beastmen race that are kinda like qiqirn but mixed with the bunny people from tactics. not even a joke post. I think since this game was based off of FFII they didn't go outside of that box with the concept of FF but I think its an mmo, mash together some ideas from the best but always make the idea better before it makes it into the game.

I think it's important for them to keep a final fantasy spirit, but not be gimmicky by just adding races from other Final Fantasies. They need to keep it original with the beast tribes in this game since this is a different world. There isn't really all that much that connects this game to XI save for the majority of races/mobs and being an mmo. Other parts that are similar are also things that connect XIV to other final fantasies. I am all about them adding more beast tribes...and ones that appear to be connected to summons.

Amalj'aa - Ifrit
Ixali - Garuda
Slyphs - (carbuncle? o.o)
Kobolds - (err... titan due to where they live and the currency they drop known as "titan" etc pieces?)


Basically beast tribes should drop beast coins and have some similarities to those 'primals' they are connected to. So fish faces for Leviathan and icy amazons for Shiva? It can still be thinking outside the box but connecting it to its final fantasy core still.

Do i have to stage an intervention?

It'll do you no good and just waste your precious time when you have much better trolling opportunties open to you. ^-^ Don't limit yourself on a worthless cause. You should probably bring up the serious problem of trees in Thanalan. How dare they do that to the desert setting? It's insulting...


Anyway, if you happen to want to jump on the Final Fantasy love train, feel free to mention any of the classic ideas behind the series that you would enjoy in this game. Staying on topic is important when posting in someone's thread. ^-^

It's the love that makes XIV hurt so much T__T *goes in a corner to play older FFs*

I personally like ffxiv, however, I still think it needs work. I wouldn't go play older games atm to compensate what ffxiv doesn't give me right now, but I hope in the future I wouldn't be tempted...(aka I hope they add more. lol)

Gee i wonder.

No, I like FFX-2 also for the same reasons I like XII.

Battle & Gameplay: A+
Story & Characters: F

It's a good game, a fun game, but where I expect FF to shine (personal opinion) it fails me. I am also a defender of X-2, though, the aspects of it that I find groundbreaking. I long for a job-based system for the next gen so bad. Single player, I mean. I like grinding as much as the next guy if not more (Hell, I'm an avid Disgaea fan, not to mention XI & XIV) but I'd really like to grind some jobs in Final Fantasy that don't take me 2 months to complete one job (like XI/XIV).

I wish they would open up Vanadiel more with a single player game, personally.

Anyway, FF12 isn't a bad video game, it's just not up to par with what I (personally) expect from Final Fantasy. I'm starting to feel I'm either not the target demographic of Final Fantasy (a JRPG lover... go figure?) or what Final Fantasy means to SE is different than what it means to me. That's ok, too, it just means I need to outsource.

I liked FFXII's story...but yeah, Vaan can go die. So can Penelo. And Larsa. I think Fran and Balthier were the only characters I liked in that game. And Gabranth, because he's a badass and his Judge armor looks awesome (especially the black version in Dissidia )

Yeah there was no point to Vaan in the story after the first 5 hours. I always thought Balthier should have been the main character. I really liked XII though, the graphics, the setting, even the story wasn't too bad imo, it's just that it wasn't as focused on the main characters rather than the bigger scope of things between nations. Also there was no love story, something that has been present in almost all FF titles, which I think put ppl off a bit.

Oh my, there was heavy editing in my thread. =p
