I liked DQ 3. Other than that... meh.

I never got to play OBT. I've cried myself to sleep many nights because of that. Well, not really. But it does sound interesting.

As for FF7, I find that it didn't really add anything to the series. It was 3d. It used FMV for dramatic moments in the plot. Wow. The materia system was little more than a variant of the esper system from FF6. The ATB system was nothing new, as it had been introduced in FF4. In true Final Fantasy form, there was no real role-playing at all. That's to be expected though. Final Fantasy games had always been large, so it's not like the size of the game was anything to get excited about.

The main difference between FF7 and it's predecessors was the graphics. It's popularity can be explained by the huge advertising campaign from Sony. Sure, I'd credit it with making RPGs more mainstream (whether that's a good thing or not is another debate entirely...), but in terms of actual gameplay, it offered little that was actually different from what was already available.

I'd make a reply, but I'm in Discrete Math (I'm lazy.) and someone just made "Pi-Borg"... a piece of paper cut into the Pi symbol and with some cyber-looking lines. woo.


But I feel pained.

Oh. So pi is the subject of various jokes for your class as well? I didn't think that it was that common.

Hack infection, hmm. Too short. :/ And I couldn't get the sequels and I HATE CLIFFHANGERS.

Secret of the stars, I hated that.

The FF with Sabin & Shadow was FF6.

Kingdom hearts was okay...I guess. A bit repetitive.

Never got Suikoden series here. sad.gif

Nyla2005-03-11 17:53:02
Secret of the stars had an awful plot. If you wanna call it that.

I suppose that it has degenerated somewhat from it's original purpose. But a lot of these aren't old. Or crappy. sleep.gif

What Atmos said. Anyway, Idiots is for rants, not stupid discussions. And the ORIGINAL point of the thread here is still visible, if you go and check back. So no, no moving. happy.gif

1> FF3 -- I still have it for my SNES biggrin.gif
2> FF7--YOU DIE WHO EVER SAYS IT SUCKS YOU DIE!
3> Mario RPG -- hellll yeah!
4> FF5
I never played chrono trigger, or atleast all of it. Was that the one with the frog?

And FF6 was just a remake of 3, with new items and maybe monsters. My main beef with it is that all you need is the item to double cast, then cast I think it was ultima..instant death.

But regardless of any system, the best RPG ever made is Bauldars gate 2:Shadows of Amn, and Throne of Bhaal

1) It's FF6. People really need to stop calling it FF3. Please.
2) Easy, now. Everything's going to be alright. Nobody here said it sucks. It's a good game, I just said it's overrated.
3) Agreed
4) Yes it is. But you shouldn't refer to him as "the frog", rather simply as Frog.

FF6 is a remake, I havn't played FF6, I have played FF3 for supernintendo tongue.gif
Shiri2005-03-11 20:06:12
Aw MAN Torak, you just have to play CT. You totally can't do without it. And yes it's FF6. Guido, shush. And whoever else as calls it 3. sleep.gif Mario RPG was okay, but the ending totally stank.

EDIT: No, you've played FF6 for the SNES, FF3 is the confused American name for what is clearly FF6. tongue.gif

You're burning in HELL. God damn it. FF6 IS THE GAME. With, you know, TERRA and LOCKE and (my favorite feme) Celes!

FF3 was that wierd one with onion knights and crap.
