What's this FFVII stuff you guys keep talking about?

Mustrum "Never played a Final Fantasy Game" Ridcully

That particular one came out at just the right time, and was of a high quality - particularly since it marked, I think, the first time a FF game moved into polygons rather than sprites.

Plus the story was EXCELLENT.

The world is crazy..... or is it I'm crazy........


Saw film stills of the upcoming Watchmen movie. Very true to the comic so far. Director is hoping to keep it true to the comic but reliezes some subjects can't be used..... Some Rorshashec's (SP) and Comedian's origins and private life stuff I suspect.

Not much happening here either.

Am I right in the assumption that Final Fantasy was or possibly even still is limited to video game consoles, which is why I never looked into them...

The only Final Fantasy I know was the movie, which had nice animation but a story and setting that left a lot to be desired for me...
 


FF VII was released for PC as well, SO THERE ARE NO EXCUSES! :p GameStar even had a walkthrough (that I still have), back then!

Cheers, LT.

Pah. In the past few months I bought the following PC games:
- Universe at War
- Perry Rhodan
- Need for Speed: Most Wanted
- Assassins Creed
- Guild Wars & Nightfall
- Supreme Commander

Guess which ones I played more then, say 4 hours?

Hint 1: [sblock]It was the cheapest on the list.[/sblock]
Hint 2: [sblock]It is not among the lower half of the list.[/sblock]
Hint 3: [sblock]It's not an (MMO)RPG[/sblock]
Hint 4: [sblock]It's not a adventure[/sblock]
Hint 5: [sblock]It's not a strategy game[/sblock]

Solution:
[sblock]Need for Speed. That was a fun game. Just drive as fast as you can. A simple yet entertaining game concept...
[/sblock]

Of course, it wasn't always that bad. I used to have less money, but more time, so I could play some games several times. But even then, there were quite a few games I didn't play through. I never did this when I was still a teenager or adolescent. :(

Which movie? Spirits within or VII? I thought Spirits within was an okay name but wasn't what I wanted from a movie with the Final Fantasy title. VII I thought was great. I suppose it might leave something to be desired for those who have never actually played VII cause most of the characters don't mean anything to you.

IMO, the action was the best thing, the tidbits relating to FF series was the second best [like the FF victory ring on the dude's cell phone after the fight had ended], and the storyline was probably third.

Maybe the storyline assumes you'd played through the game and knew the story well enough it didn't have to be explained. It's been a while since I've seen the movie, so I don't know how true that is.
 

The only FF game I ever played is FF VIII. Maybe I should finally get a video game console and play FF XII or something.

For FF XII? No you shouldn't. It's the worst of them ever. But if you manage to get your hands on IX or VII then yes. Graphics are ofcourse not up to par of modern games but everything else is better than in anything since...

Luckily the special features on the DVD have a recap ;). At least the Region 1 DVD does.
