The Other Worlds Shrine

Your place for discussion about RPGs, gaming, music, movies, anime, computers, sports, and any other stuff we care to talk about... 

  • Woah.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Too bad i think Yuna was the worst character in the game, her side story i probably wont buy. I understand she was supposed to be the timid, proper, conservative, typical japanese girl, and the voice actress did a great job portraying it, but thats why she was boring and uninteresting.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>the battle system alone totally rocked. i like being able to calculate my moves without worrying about the enemy getting 3 turns to my one (ATB sucks). The turn bar on the right of the screen would make and break battles and would force you have to put serious thought in what to do next, its great.

Here is another change i want in FF. I'm tired of having character specific weapons and armor. I want it to be back to FF6 where mulitple guys could use swords and you would have to swap around the good ones and whatnot.</div>

Kefka's boss battle WAS the shit. It was the only time in any game i've played that used the echo effect to such perfection, the whole battle seemes surreal, the music was great too.

Yes, replaying it might not be as much fun, but you have to look at these games as how good they were when you first played it. Its the best FF game in that respect, long story line, great characters, moved quickly, plenty of secrets to uncover...</div>

If this is the case, it should be pretty cool because Zanarkand pre-destruction was a pretty damn neat place and you can also see the rest of the world before the machina were banned. Remember the city under the lake? Should allow for an almost entirely new cast as well...</div>
