I liked the part with the whole city being destroyed in that tidal wave or whatever. Nice CGI.

FFX sucked balls, the only reason I got it was becuase my friend was FF nut and I was like well i might as well get it with my new ps2. I tried FF7 but got bored real quick. How can you guys still like JRPGs, its something u play in like middle school or early high school.

FF7 is still good for the characters and story, if nothing else.

I like Final Fantasy but I'm sick of these homo-erotic characters talking about spirits and shit... sometimes people get a little carried away with that magic crap. Can't anybody make a good RPG without magic?
That's what I like about fallout, you don't have to worry about gay shit like is this an ice dragon? will he resist my Blizzara spell? Resist my shotgun blast to the face, bitch!!!

Androgyny is what's hot in Japan.

No idea why...

Because Japan is perpetually stuck in the 80's. We had androgynous rockers, they have androgynous rockers which are prevalent in their culture and as such have alot of mass appeal.

Well, if it were stylized properly I could deal with little bit of magic.
Not in FO.
But something like a non-dorky version of Deadlands.

Maybe a little chop-socky for comic relief, but it should be all like
Clint Eastwood squinting and sneering and doing voodoo with
bullets and blood and effigies and whiskey and poker chips.
The magic system should be part of the entire game mechanic/flow.
Everything very iconic/symbolic/totemic-fetishistic.
Like the above list about Clint doing a ritual.
Gambling would be like a heavy karma thing that would influence
events in the short/medium/long term.
Instead of numeric stats or health bar and shit, you'd have playing
cards (and special tarot cards), gold nuggets, poker chips, whiskey,
beef jerky, etc.
Make charms out of rattlesnake skin and teeth and so on.
Getting the favor of a "shithouse rose" will bring you luck but could
also bring you down.
Combat- like you could play an ace to get a guaranteed headshot,
or a joker to escape like the wind. Enchanted poker chips can soak
up one slug each. You don't have hit points, it's serious man.
Keep that living, pulsating, sussurating snakeskin Tarot card for a
special occaision.
Maybe in hard mode you need water and shit.
Learn how to dowse.

And make friends with those inscrutable Chinamen.

I'm thinkin' the cutscenes should maybe be a part of the unfolding action
of the game- like mirages.
A phantom roulette wheel spins as an over/underlay during combat.
Watch out for the Dead Man's Hand on the 8th of any month, especially
August(the 8th month)... (8=infinity.)
The day of the Revenant.
Watch your Karma and remember who you've killed.

OK, so I'm ripping off UA.

But it'd be cool.

FF Tactics is the only FF worth playing. And FF6. And maybe FF9, but that's it, ok.

I just noticed I never read Redeye's posts. Because of the mad enter mashing and all.

Subhuman · Post by **Subhuman** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 4:18 pm

FF9 was the gayest of them all.

"FF9 was the gayest of them all."

True, but it was one of those guilty pleasures, like childporn.
