robert, the only one of your points that I will agree with is your evaluation on X-2. it was complete drivel. The storyline was flimsy at best and there was no excuse for having the main characters parade around wearing next to nothing. there's even a scene showig the girls playing in their bathing suits, which clearly shows the game was aimed at adolescent boys who just hit puberty. Now, I am no prude, but if I want porn, then i'll buy porn. I don't expect to see it in a game aimed at hardcore RPG fans. there are only 3 things I will commend square for in X-2. those are:
1) the graphics
2) the music
3) the battle system
however, I do feel that the storyline was incredibly weak an the dialouge corny beyond all belief.
now that i've got that out of my system, time to pick apart robert's posts agai. *rubs hands gleefully*
the world maps were removed as of FFX. Most fans miss them as they gave the game a more epic feel.
"I'm bored by their chocolate-and-icing graphical style. Sometimes less is more."
And sometimes less looks tacky, bland, rushed and sub-par quality. you can't fault the FF team for being talented.
"I'm bored by the legions upon legions of fanboys and fangirls who can't comprehend that any other RPG exists"
These are the 10year old fanboys/girls that play a game just becuase it looks good. They can't comprehend that other games with inferior graphics can have a much more compellig storyline. I myself am a fa of Baldur's Gate I and II, as well as NeverwinterNights, Morrowind and even the pokemon GB/GBA games. The people who are ignorant of other games are annoying, especially to the rest of the RPG fans.
