4 was my favorite 2d, 9 was my favorite 3d. I didn't think 8 was utter shit though...Funkiest Monkey said:

Not sure if this was answered for you already (I've been away for a few days) but there are a lot of machine enemies and it is part of the story. When you get to the good part of the game (around 25 hours in mind you) which also happens to be the non linear map you will fight familiar enemies like flans as well as some interesting new ones (Adamantoises for example) unfortunately this area seems to be geared for play AFTER the main story has ended which again to me seems pointless. FF was always about the story to me. I really have no urge to invest my time trying to perfect my weapons and level grind just to earn trophies or achievements. I don't understand why they didn't allow you to do this for the final boss. Every aspect of the story gameplay is just too easy. There was no challenge. I crystal ground for three hours at one point and was killing everything on sight with ease. Right til the end of the game. Made me sad!Karim Saad said:Thank you for the details, but it is indeed sad to hear. I was buying a 360 mainly to play it but I'm just going to wait until it's 15$ used. I was a bit bothered by the areas in FFX already, so looking at these linear maps is sickening. Advertised as a good-looking action-rpg, I would have been excited, but as the new FF, damn...Sproingy said:I enjoyed aspects of 13 but if this is where FF is going it is a truly sad day for me
The genocide-themed story seems worth the effort though. Are there really only machines for enemies? I hate that, seriously.
That being said I got into the story after a while. At first it is confusing and I hate the fact that half of my understanding of the story I got from reading the masses of text on the loading screens between chapters. Why couldn't this be made clear in the actual game? But I eventually begn to feel for the characters and their plight resonated well. Again though this happened too late in the game for me.
People may completely disagree with this opinion but FF13 just doesn't feel like previous FF games. I understand that game developers and companies pour time and resources into games these days and thus want to cater to a wide audience but for games like FF this seems to dilute the experience. I won't be buying FF14 which will be the first FF game I will not play
Currently, it is easily Dissidia. Just picked it up yesterday and I gotta say, I love this game so much. Of all time though, it would either be X, the only one I've finished, or XII, the one I have but the most hours into and enjoyed the most.
Probably X-2, XII and XIII. Weird how I like the most 'marmite' of the series. (love or hate)
It would be Versus XIII...if it comes out...ever...on 360...maybe...

Dunno! They seem to be pumping them out, there's still all the sequels to 13 they want to do to go before 15. They just keep saying they don't know what to do with the series anymore and there's rumours that the developers don't even want to do it anymore. That has to be a sign...Karim Saad said:Looks like you're confirming what I thought. I don't play online, so I missed 11 and I'll miss 14. Between 12 and 15, how long will it be do you think?
If FF goes all Silent Hill and sells out to the American companies I'll cry...again
In essence,I didn't dodge the Draw system. I mentioned the Junction System,which is an extention of Drawing,and the end result of drawing. But since you brought it up,I'll elaborate on how I think it's a great system.Karim Saad said:
Drawing,in Final Fantasy VIII is the act of using the power of a GF to absorb and stock up to a hundred of a certain spell from an enemy. These spells are determined by the enemy's level,which is determined by the average level of your active party. It makes you work for your magic,and turns it into a survival thing if you're insane enough to use Tonberry's "Level Up" command on something like a Ruby Dragon so you can draw Flares at level 10.
Drawing also introduced,as mentioned in the original post,Junctioning. It's essentialy amping your stats by,in essence,wearing your magic. Drawing and Junctioning are great systems,but they could use a bit of work. I personaly enjoyed all aspects of Final Fantasy VIII. Except Zell.
