Now, now ... it is impossible for it to be worse than FF12. The battle system sounds the same as any other FF battle system, mash a single button, except in this case you just need it hit it a bit more. Well, it's not like I ever paid full-price for any FF anyway. In my opinion, having the FF series fall from grace can only be a good thing. The fewer game companies that follow the FF model, the better.

FF12 gave us a huge world, but no reason to explore it other than grind as you auto-kill everything in your way. It also didn't help that most of the world wasn't worth looking at as it consisted mostly of rocks and sand. I mean, it's nice not seeing grass and trees for 90% of a game, but sands and rocks aren't much better. The game doesn't even reward you for map completion like Star Ocean 3.

No. In fact, it doesn't have to be anime/manga style at all.

*sigh*

Ogre Battle was made by Quest. Square bought Quest and had those people work on FFTA 1 and 2.

I remember back when the merger happened, it was a really big deal. I mean, combining Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy franchises into one company, it was insane to think about it at the time. But in reality, it wasn't too big of a deal at all. Much smaller developers like Gust, Nippon Ichi, and Sting have done more for the expansion of JRPGs than Square Enix has.

@WhiteLion: I can't speak about Bioware since I have no interest in anything they produce, but I think that JRPGs are faring just as well as any other genre. Sometimes, I think that people think of Square Enix first when they think about JRPG stagnation and forget about everything else out there. A part of me also wonders if SE shot themselves in the foot during the PSX era. Now the RPGs produced by SE have to push graphical boundaries.


This comment made me realize that even Bioware could fall prey to this. I mean, I imagine it's pretty hard to keep producing hit after hit.

First thing that came to mind:Slimey Bath by Shiwasu no Okina (Nerusen?).

You're right, your whole skull must be made out of tinfoil instead. The fact that you keep bringing these up, means you either want to convince other people the same, or you need these to convince yourself. "Healthy skepticism" would be approaching women cautiously and being observant, not practicing gynophobia like a coward.


Well, isn't that convenient? You say "experience", when you have no experience in the kind of situations you talk about yourself. Yet, you say that you won't change your mind until you experience otherwise. But of course, you will never have such an experience because you've already determined for yourself the actions that you will take. You shield yourself so easily. Very convenient.


And to think that your real reason for being afraid of women is to protect your (apparently fragile) "dignity".

Do it! Just the horse head mask is fine too.

But does anyone know WHY that video even exists in the first place? I mean Dunst in Japan is pretty random by itself, but it actually shows hentai covers in it, which is especially unusual.

I thought you were done finding things to justify your paranoia?

Well, it's not a Slowbro, that's for sure.
