Many of them don't overcome this flaw however. Cloud was still a whiny emo kid, even after Advent Children. Same with Squall. And Tidus. I'm trying to think of other examples that aren't from FF games right now, but I'm really tired. This example is from an anime, not a game, but it's still a...

Ok sorry, I phrased that wrong. I don't have a problem with the aesthetic of younger protagonists. I'm talking about how they act. I was referring to games that have protagonists dealing with not only raging monsters, but also raging HORMONES. They're overemotional and clearly in need to a...

Chrono Trigger like... 80 times. FF6 3 or 4 times. All the Zelda games at least 2 or 3 times. Mostly A Link to the Past, probably like 10 times. Fallout 3 twice. Fable 1 and 2 twice each. Mass Effect 3 times. there are others... I just can't think of them

So I have another question here, and I'm not trying to discriminate or anything, but I'm wondering if AGE plays a factor here. I'm 25 and I've noticed that many of my friends that are my age or older tend to steer further away from eastern games. I've noticed that kids around 12-18 are much more...

You seem a little hostile. Thats ok. I'll try to explain a little better why I'm disappointed with JRPGs and other Japanese games in recent times. First, I LOVE a good story. It's why I started playing RPGs in the first place. And while the Japanese are great at TELLING stories, that doesn't...

Wow, somebody didn't like Xenogears. Fair enough. My point in the OP however was that, I believe anyway, that Xenogears COULD have seen sequels and/or prequels if the bigwigs at Square had spent time and money on anything other than Final Fantasy. And that is something that they desperately need...

I understand your point ExistentialCrisis. I have to disagree with you on one big point however. Square focusing on FF too much. Especially that line about Xenogears and Xenosaga. Xenosaga, if you hadn't noticed was published by Namco, not Square. The reason behind this being that the team...

Well if you like the FF series thats fine. But I really think that it started to go downhil after 6. Sure 7 was good, but I think 6 was better. Then 8 was even further down the hill, 9 pretty much hit rock bottom. 10 took half a step up from rock bottom and then made a Charlie's Angels meet The...

Oh yea Konami. They have two game series I care about. MGS and Castlevania. MGS4 was ok, the story was a little on the crazy side, but I accept that because I've been accepting it for ten years now. And Castlevania, well it needs to just stick to hand helds, because thats where it's best these...

@johnx61: Yea I kinda agree with you. I LOVE Zelda games, but they do need to do something different with the series. I don't know what, just that the last few games have all been very similar. @Random Argument: Once again I agree, but Team Sonic is like 90% of what Sega is, so I kinda just...

When I was five years old, I got a Nintendo Entertainment System for my birthday. I grew up playing games made by Nintendo, Sega, Tecmo, and Square, just to name a few. I grew older, and my systems became more powerful, but I was still playing games made by the same people. I loved Mario and...

I don't think its a terrible thing that games get copied and remade. Sometimes thats how we get BETTER games. The FPS genre may have originally started with Wolfenstein and Doom (as far as I can remember, they were the first. And yes I was a gamer way back then), but in my opinion, the genre...

It was alright, I beat it last week. The complaints about the game being easy are little silly when you step back and take a look at whats actually going on in the game. Whenever you fail at something, whether it be platforming or combat, Elika saves you with her magic. So you literally...

Format is the only answer to your problem. Not to mention its a good idea to do it anyway before you sell it.

"God" is simply what man aspires to become.
