Did anyone here like FF9?
I thought it was a good game, the characters were wicked and the gameplay was much like the others.
vivi was the best character in FF9.

I love FF9, I havent liked an FF game since FF9(thats not entirely true actually, 11 started to grow on me like a tumor...) I just hope 13 isnt "Lets make a freaky rehash of 7!" in my opinion they should really remake a current gen version of FF6...

Yeah I would like to see 6 remade. As I have earlier in this post, I haven't actually played any FF games before 7.
So if 6 got a facelift that would be awsome.

Yeah, I mean, Six was amazing, huge, very well done storyline, most characters in any FF game to date (well fleshed out too). Most of all though, many people have never played an FF game before 7, and that's just a crying shame. Though I may step on some toes here, Ive seen people agree on 6 being the best one. *ducks to avoid any possible shoe throwers* ^_^

Also, the characters basically never even really got to be rendered in glorious 3D except for a few, and not well besides Terra, the heroine, and Kefka the Villain as seen in FF Dissidia.

..Meanwhile we are bombarded with FF7 spin-offs. T_T

I'm really looking forward to it, I've never been able to play any of the 3D Final Fantasy games from VII to XII since I never bought a PS1 or PS2.
But hurray! It's coming out on the 360, so I finally can!

I'd bet that I would absolutely love the Final Fantasy series.. the only thing keeping me from doing so is that bloody turn-based system. In my humble opinion, it's the second most boring type of combat, second only to MMORPG's press-a-button-and-wait.

*Sigh* Oh well. I'll just miss out again.

I'll admit, I'm not as excited for 13 as I would have been a few years ago. It seemed to me that the quality of the core games was falling due to a focus on repackaging past successes. I believed for a long time that 12 was the culmination of this, but after about 50 hours of gameplay, I have to admit... It's really grown on me. Seems that Square can still write a compelling story, when they're not busy selling remakes of older ones.

The introduction of the first proper female lead in years and characters who aren't bogged down in black, like Sazh Katzroy, leads me to think 13 might be a similar experience to 12; outwardly superficial and flashy, but ultimately satisfying to the long-term gamer. Here's hoping.

Whoah, hey, I think your forgetting about FF6, They've had a heroine in Final Fantasy before, Terra Branford.


*EDIT*
WHOAH, i got trigger happy on the post button, I think I misunderstood you, lol..

Anyway, lets hope they pull something great together for 13.

I said "in years", not "ever". I didn't count Yuna in X-2, because it seemed more of a spin-off. Going by that, it's been forever since a Final Fantasy game was helmed by a female.

On that note, I always thought Celes was the heroine. She has a much more compelling character, anyway...

i loved eternal sonata annoying at times but overall a great game dont make me regret loving it T.T (sorry off topic) final fantasy 13 may turn out to be another 12 (a bad game but you cant stop playing, sorta like 9)

... Whut? IX, likened to XII? Please excuse me while I go have a heart-attack.

I'm interested in seeing how the new battle-system works. If they pull it off right, it'll be a masterpiece. If not...

Ah, but that's a difference between 13 and the others. It isn't turn-based, from what I can tell. Instead, you have a recharging bar, and different moves take up different amounts of that bar. So you can attack at will, but you need to do so strategically. Time it right, and you can pull of truly devastating combos~

There's only one reason I want to check out FFXIII.

My favourite ever videogame composer (other than Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu) is doing the music for it. <3

X-2? Whats that? lol.

Anyway, yeah, celes was great too. That game was kind of great how most characters could be viewed as the main, many of them had lots of development. A friend of mine still swears it to be Locke.

"Ten-Two", the sequel to X. As a game, it's really not all that bad. Brought back the Job Class system, so that's fun. Storywise, though, it's just a backwards trek through the towns and temples from X to find Tidus. The whole thing feels kinda pointless. Couldn't help but view it as anything other than a cashgrab by Square.

That was always one of my favorite things about VI; every character was interesting. I still remember how I'd go through a bunch of gil paying for nights at an Inn with Shadow in my party, just to find out, once and for all, his connection to Relm.
I could see Locke as the protagonist. If Terra's the female lead, he's definitely her male counterpart.

I've always been a great fan of anything Final Fantasy. I'll get myself a PS3 just to be able to play 13. FFVI is definitely my favorite from the entire series I own all three versions of that game.

Sorry, perhaps I should have added the /sarcasm after my post, I played FFX-2 as well. It was... Kinda weird. Nooj and Pain were cool though.

Interresting way of seeing Terra and Locke as counterparts, though counterparts in the same game usually end up together... However, Locke ends up with Celes. hmm..

I enjoyed Cyan. He was just an old Knight *cough*samurai*cough* and he loses everything but the need for revenge. Edgar was awesome too. Wow, if I remember correctly, that was my party usually anyway. Edgar, Cyan, Terra and Celes.

Ive always seen the game as hard to tell who the main character actually is, I said terra because they basically say she is the official main character.


man.... 6 deserves a current gen remake... Wow, im totally getting into my own little conversation here, lol. ^__^

I pray to whatever force may be out there in the ever-expanding universe that the battle system will not be shit like in XII.

If it is, I'm going to have to turn my back on the franchise for awhile. Why do you have to go and kill a good thing? People don't play freaking Final Fantasy for a really challenging battle, they play to see a story. It's a freaking RPG, come on.

I'm stoked for FFXIII.
I'm buying a HDTV soon and saving a good $200 so I can buy collectors editions of FFXIII and FFXIII Versus.
Also I'm buying it for my PS3 for obvious reasons.

Ten-two, I agree was a good game. Just like you also I also agree that it was just like backtracking through the entire FF10. Seemed kind of dull at places, but the combat was different (in a good and bad way), which I like. I like to have a change every now and then. Yuna was deffinatley the female lead in this game. On a different note I freaking love the cutscene on FF10-2, where Yuna is singing on top of the ship. Then her outfit changes. That is awsome!

im a FF collector and i only need FF6 on ps1 to compleete my collection, so obviously i cant wait for XIII, but as said before, if the battle system is like 7-9 or like 10, i will be very happy.
And i realy hope we dont have to put up with another ***** like Vaan.

oh so true!
and the battles in XII where to dificult, you could train up 10-20 levels above what you should be naturaly for the place in the game, and you still would have some problems
