What's Final Fantasy?

[SuzakuCMX]

i was gonna say.... so far ive heard almost nothing but complaints and even a thread or two on here asking SE to redo the soundtrack using a different composer.
the only music i ever remotely liked (repetitive music will never exist in my world) was xenogears 2... or 3. the game sucked but the music was not bad.

The OST for this game is one of the best in the series, but what they have in the game is not a good representation. There are 72 tracks that are in the files (at least as far as I know) but the GOOD songs are quiet/blinking out as part of the event (Thanalan's theme), tied to specific, short content (Behest boss music is about 4 minutes long but a boss in a Behest lasts about 30 seconds including travel time), or is in a place that lacks content (Coerthas' theme). There is a lot they could do with the soundtrack if they shuffled it but like other aspects of the game it is badly implemented.

I believe it'd be in everyone's best interest to watch those before making their own suggestions and recommendations. This is why a lot of FF fans do not agree with certain suggestions.

I have already watched these retrospective several times since they released them. Each time I do, I am reminded how awesome FF has been, from I to XIII, it has been incredible. Thank you SE.

I am glad Yoshida has already indicated he plans to keep making this game feel more like a FF game. what ever that may mean for SE, making a FF game feel like one has been what keeps the franchise going.

...Man... Watching that and then realizing that FFXIV has nearly none of it was tough to bear.

This is why I am hoping they turn it into a Final Fantasy before they even think about turning it into something else. :P

It has crystals it has summons, it has chocobos and moogles it has airships, we just cant use them yet. FF XIV is a FF game it's just not a very good one though i'm sure it will get better.

Also watching this, it really makes people sound extra stupid when they say "because they call it a dungeon, it is like WoW" because these videos (outside of even the talking just the clips) show so many "FF" dungeons.

edit: even in 2d those dungeons have an element I would like in modern ones, and element of the unknown, not knowing where to go. Lets say darkened map at first or no map with unlocking at end. In FF single players (XIII dungeons were a lil streamlined for my taste), you looiked up a faq/walkthru or you explored. Plus dungeons shouldn't just be caves and what not, they should be actual castle dungeons, or deep dank caves. Idk i'd even like toad back, imagine us as toads crawling thru sewers like in FFIII or IV I can't remember sorry. :[

I remember speaking about this on zam but: I really wish the guys at SE would watch that.

I hope something would convince them that the story just isn't isn't presented up to FF standards. It has always been an important part of FF titles but in XIV it's just slapped on like a series of cutscenes that have nothing to do with you grinding on leves most of the time in the game.
