o_o 13-2 is poo. They've gone too far away from the original ways of FF games to begin with. Don't get me wrong, I like some of the new stuff, but other stuff (ie. the mog battle thing) is freaking weird in 13-2. Also, Serah is a dumb main character. e_e; I'd have to agree, for me after Final Fantasy X, I started straying away from the series slowly..I mean they aren't terrible but they aren't what they use to be either.
i'm not saying this mean-like, so please don't take it that way ^_^;
but.. it's a game series. not all of the stuff will be the same, but they'll keep the FF feel to it. they want to try new things out, and i know not many people like change, but the change of this series isn't meant to be looked at and told "wow.. you're not like you used to be, why couldn't you stay the same?" it's meant to be looked at and for the changes to be embraced, like "wow.. this is different, but i like how it works with this" or "cool, now i don't have to wait my turn, i can kill this monster now while my partner helps at the same time" or something. nothing stays the same, it's life... it's the same for video games. i think FF10 was a wonderful game, i still play it over and over. sure there were some FF games that didn't catch my attention, but honestly not all new FF games are bad.. i'm playing FF13-2 and while i'm watching certain scenes, all i can think is "wow.. some people have actually quit before they got to this part all because they hated how FF has changed.. but it's not bad, this is a really good storyline, i wish they could see this" i mea the first place it just doesn't fit my taste either, I never said change was a bad thn crap.. i almost cried on one scene! this one really brings FF back to life, it's emotional like [apparently] "all the good old ones were".
I never implied that the game was bad I.E, game play style and what not, I can deal with game play changes. I just didn't like the story in general nor did I like X-2 and Final Fantasy 12 the graphics are great and the battle system and what not isn't bad either..but the story line just wasn't for me. I mean overall the thing I didn't like about it was I found it to be boring and slow paced in 13 although I can't say much about 13-2 yet since since I haven't played it yet.
i meant the story line too x.x i should have implied that, but i didn't think about it. anyways, i agree with you on X-2 xD i didn't exactly like it all that much.. except for when you beat the game, everything carries over into a new game. which got annoying after a while.. but anyways. the story in FF12 is what got me hooked, but it's also what had something missing in it.
but anyways, FF13 is basically a slow-paced story, because the game is supposed to be 4 discs long, which it is for the Xbox version. and since the PS3 uses Bluray disc games, it can fit more information on it, so they put more of a story to it. normally we're used to short FF games (besides 7,8 and 9 basically], like with short story-lines, but now since we have the technology to make the stories longer without having to keep putting in discs, we do it. the story carries out longer and so it makes everything feel slow and slow-paced and maybe at points boring, and i think that maybe if people knew that it was a long story, they'd have been more prepared for it or something.. or if they realized the reality in it. everyone's complaining and moping but only because they're either gonna be turned into a monster, or be crystallized alive.. it's understandable. plus i noticed how some people complain about no one having a personality x.x it's easily explainable.. but everyone in that game had a personality based on their whole life and on the events happening.
