Proximately, there was plenty wrong with VII. I'm not trying to start a flamewar or anything here, but honestly VII is pretty much played out. I'm sick of hearing about it, seeing it, and it needs to rest in peace. If any world could be done more with, it's X.

I think it's less that people specifically want VII remade, and more a combination of things. Older games had limitations, but in some ways those limitations gave the creators more freedom to sculpt captivating worlds and stories. Once you have to start rendering every blade of grass, it's a...

No. They tried and it got shot down; the VOLUNTARY association of hentai game makers banned it, but they can still be made and sold, they just won't have their backing. It's a way to distance themselves from backlash.

If you ask me, X was one of the best, if not THE best one in the series; and it has nothing to do with linearity, although I love the story - it has to do with the combat system, which IMHO, is tied for greatest battle system of all time right up there with Legend of Dragoon. So, put those...

Yahtzee, If you want a list of good JRPGs, I can give it to you - but you're right, VII was a pile of stinky cheese, and VIII wasn't much better. About the only good ones since VI have been IX, X, X-2, and XI. (not counting strategy games and whatnot). XIII gave me the same feeling XII...

PS3: FFXIII DS: Pokemon Sapphire (Ruby in GBA slot) PSP: Was FF Tactics: The War of the Lions, but PSP is broken. GC: GB Player. N64: OgreBattle 64 PC: I use ISOs, my CDs are nicely preserved and boxed away.

X wasn't so much a romance as a tragedy, and it's rarely done in games that a main character dies like that - which is bonus points for bravery and creativity. But the battle system I'm referring to isn't just turn based, it's conditionally turn based; it uses an actual initiative system...

Yes, I do realize that, being that I'm not a moron. I do, in fact, not prefer real-time to turn based. The former requires only reflexes while the latter requires lateral thinking and strategy. X's battle system was honestly the best one I've played in any RPG barring Legend of Dragoon. And...

12 was an atrocity; it was an action game wearing a RPG costume to the FF party, and I saw right through it. Let us hope they never try that again.

She and I play FFXI together, but she plays it mostly because it's a way for us to spend time together. as far as outside of that, she seems to get miffed when I bring my DS when we "hang out" at her parents house (which has absolutely nothing to do and even less because her parents are there...

As I've said before, JRPGs are more akin to a true RPG and western RPGs are more like an action-RPG hybrid as of about 6 years ago. I'm so sick and tired of JRPG bashing. If you don't like the genre, don't play it; but don't sit there and criticize it on grounds you don't understand, because...

I dislike heavy-handed environmentalist messages, same reason when I have kids I'm never letting them watch Wall-E. Although the comparison I was going to make wasn't from South Park or having anything to do with Dances with Wolves - I was just gonna say he ripped the plot from FernGully and...

On that note, my selection is World of Warcraft, because it's ruined the MMO genre ever since it became popular for being easy.

Agreed. It wouldn't bother me unless they made it a send-up like the Ganguro fairy in DQ or as a shock-value thing to raise controversy or sales. If they kept it low-key it wouldn't really bother me.
