Welcome to Gaia! ::

SH3's freaky/creepiness doesn't lie in the fact that it's a creepy game but more in that the entire setting is off, like really off, in that wrong way. And you don't know why.

As for FF8, alright, here's why people hate Squall. People hate Squall because they say he doesn't have a personality, that he makes stupid choices, that his character's horribly done has no development and so on so forth. Therefore, they hate themselves. Why? Because Squall's personality is your personality. He only says what you want him to say, he only thinks what you want him to think, he only does what you want him to do. Squall is you and therefore if you hate Squall you hate yourself. whee

For me? Very easily. I'm a loser, WJ. You forget.... crying

I loved the story, but I was like "DUDE. HURRY UP! -kicks it-" So I kinda have to agree with you on that.

I grew up with Capcom/SNK, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter. But when Tekken came out, I was high on it. I was like " eek wh0a. I could do combos..AWESEOME!" And you're a badass Asian whee heart

My sister and new boyfriend love that game. I always got annoyed when I started playing and eventually quit. I just don't like having to time the attacks, blah. It was a good storyline, I've been watching my sister play so I have an idea on what's going on. But..blah. The battle system wasn't that great. I never got far enough in the game to get the hard attacks, though..

Have you ever played Siren? If you haven't..don't even bother. That game is horrible. There was nothing about the game I liked. The controls were a bit complicated, the graphics sucked ( enough so that the first guy you control in your game looks like he has HUGE nostrils and no skin on his face ), the game was a bit dark..even for a game like that, and they had this thing called sight-jacking that was just confusing and sucked, because you couldn't move while in that mode. Oh well, it may have been better..but from what I've heard people say in the Fatal Frame community I'm in on LJ, it doesn't get much better. The game has zombies, you know how I feel about zombies. In that game they made me laugh my head off when you first see one, oh man..it was just hilarious.

If anybody HAS played Siren, I'd like to hear what they thought about it.. sweatdrop

Also, WJ, your FF8 thing on Squall..just.. xd I love you. heart

But I love just being able to sit there and stare at nothing while clicking X. crying But, yeah, I can see what you mean about it. The attacks really are worth diddly squat unless you do the combo, and that just sucks. If they could turn it off, or do something about that I think I would've liked the game more. Meh..oh well.

I have to agree with you on both of those points. For main battle the timing sucked. For longer ones and for when you went Dragoon it made more sense and wasn't as annoying.

I don't mind Rinoa especially since she's the reason there's an Eyes on Me theme. Best FF theme EVER.

FF6 is my favourite mostly because it had way more story, character development, and all that stuff. Please, it was easy to god mod like mad. whee

I liked 7 the best, then 9, then shoot back to the earlier FFs...

But this new one interests me, finally we get some real swashbuckling.

9 had a lot more of a lighthearted feel to it. It's not really true to the FF series like how 7 and 8 aren't true to the series. FF has always been an epic journey deal but 7 and 8 pride themselves in an overly serious manner. 9 is the backlash from old school fans who disliked the modern cyberpunk feel that they had and so the FF series was reverbed back into a light hearted romp, but it prided itself in being light hearted. 9's the polar opposite of 7 and 8.

X in all honesty is a lot more true to the FF series then anything after 6. It doesn't take itself too seriously and yet it's not too light hearted. It develops all of it's characters, it gives you an epic story and it has a new and innovative levelling system. The only thing I had against X was that it was too linear.
