FFVIII music >> all other FFs. IMO.

The last hour and a half for Mogmas!

And then it's back to the Hanged Asuka Doll.

[DeusExMachina]

probably the American version. the original version is too hardcore :cool:
Probably. When I got hold of the Japanese version, it killed me. Many times. It took me forever to finally beat it.

MAthiAS, if you still need the soundtrack, IM me.

[Liberi Fatali]

I don't get all the fuss about Xbox RPGs like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Fable and Jade Empire. I got Jade Empire for christmas and so far it has been nowhere near the 9.9/10 IGN gave it or the 5/5 many other reviewers gave it. They've got nothing on Sonys RPG classics.

[cloud^]

If someone's got all the files in one archive would they mind sending it to me so I don't have to d/l them all separately?

Damn man, I already linked you to a site with the OST. Just download it already...

[MAthiAS]

Those were separate files, a huge pain to download when I know people on here have the whole thing already.

I might be going into town either tomorrow or Thursday, and the main thing I'll be looking for is a new copy of FFVIII :D

highstreet shops still sell PS1 games?

[Incognito]

highstreet shops still sell PS1 games?

I think some Ps1 games are still in production, namely FFVII through IX.

I was in EB a few days ago and an employee was opening up a new box and he pulled out some packaged FFVII through IXs.

[MAthiAS]

That's good to know that I'll be able to get them if needed. FFVIII's opening sequence is chopped all to hell for me.

Pretty cool article on some recommended OSTs both from video games and movies.

If I can't find a copy in town tomorrow then I'll order one from Amazon.

Yeah mine was too. I just bought a new one of the internet.

[Chrysostom]

Bump.

[Timm]

anyone got plans for new years eve yet?
mine is as follows:

1.about 4pm some friends come over; we'll play mario smash soccer and drink a lot of beer and listen to music

2.about 8pm party somewhere not sure where yet

[crag]

ugh, i can't stand new year.

although this year should be better because i'll be with my friends and not at some crappy party with my parents.

[MAthiAS]

Nothing special for me.

[red barchetta]

there'll just be some festive food for my new year

[Timm]

I need to get a new copy of XI
but first I'll ask my friend who had my VIII copy for 5 years before I go and buy a new one :lol:

[Liberi Fatali]

/bump
There'll just be some festive alcohol for my new year.

I've been thoroughly disappointed with Jade Empire so far. Here I was expecting a game that lived up to its reviews, and I've nearly finished it after 4 days of having it. And I should have finished by now, it is just that I'm trying to saviour it.

Not what I had hoped for. :-/ But still a good game.

[Lord Abortion]

I'll probably be at a crappy party with my parents.
Not the pissed uni students that I was with last year :(

[Happy]

I'm going to some party. But I'm taking Singstar 80's. I'm gonna be singing The Final Countdown all night.

[Brew]

I'm gatecrashing a party with some of my friends.

[DeusExMachina]

I'm relaxing. Not really feeling like a party.

I need to get into the earlier Dragon Quest games. DQVIII is just amazing. Which other ones were good? I've heard that a couple of the earlier ones were pretty meh.

[Timm]

They don't release those games here :upset:

[FlyingPaul_83]

I have to deliver the newspaper on new years.

So I'm just gonna stay up until 2:30 and go deliver the paper.

1 and 2 were good for the NES (2 especially), but they were pretty hard (2 especially). actaully, 2 was impossible to beat. i think the difficulty level is what separates the DQ series and the FF series.

for the SNES, if you can find a translated version of DQ6, then you won't need to look for another game for a long time. its one of the best RPGs ever, as good as FF6. but its hard.

Same here, I have to be home for like...8.30am.

If I do end up at the party I'll probably leave at 6 and walk home, its only about 2.5miles.

[Futuro]

Hey guys, I got a quick question. I own Final Fantasy 7 for Ps1 (I only own a broken ps2 :( ) I posted a few times in here about FF7. I really want to play the game. Is there some way to play it on the computer and save the game to the hard drive. Thanks guys, Im not really computer literate so any help would be great.

i think there's some legal emulator which allows you to play your ps1 disks on your pc. i think its PSX or something. i've never tried it myself.

[andyhainey]

yeah ive heard of it, you could just probably download the emulator off limewire/imesh/kazaa etc: i downloaded ff 1-6 off limewire, if i can find it, i could maybe send it to y'all

[crag]

isn't there a website called emuparadise or something like that where you can get emulators and stuff?

[Happy]

isn't there a website called emuparadise or something like that where you can get emulators and stuff?
Yeah I think so. I think they took down the emulator thread because it was like the YSI threads.

[DeusExMachina]

Go to www.epsxe.com and download that emulator. It can be a little hard to get running at first, but they have a forum that's quite helpful. That's what I used for quite awhile. Also, www.emuparadise.org has quite a few playstation games available for download.

This thread is moving pretty slow lately.

Red, I know what you mean about the DQ series being hard. I've only played DQ8, but it's a lot harder than the FF games.

[Lord Abortion]

Wow, this thread is dying.

[Mr. Ron]

So, what are your guys predictions about FF12?


Personally, I think it's going to be the same old same old....along with another spikey, blond haired, feminine main character. :-\

[gitzplayer1021]

FFXII looks like it could be promising... graphics look great, but they've changed a lot so it's hard to predict what it'll be like. Having it set in Ivalice has piqued my interest though.

[Lord Abortion]

You what now?
Ivalice?

[Mr. Ron]

I miss speach boxes. FF12 will have voice actors most likely. I just hope they spend more time on the story line and character development, which FF10 lacked.

[MAthiAS]

You what now?
Ivalice?
You mean you haven't played Tactics? :eek:

[FlyingPaul_83]

Ivalice is the world in FF Tactics (aka teh sex game :naughty: ). Although it will probabaly not have anything else related to tactics beacuse in tactics they talk about a time long ago when there was airships and such, and in XII, there looks to be airships. Who knows, maybe we'll see a young T.G. Cid (i wish)

[MAthiAS]

Or it could be way in the future and they'll talk about the Lion War and whatnot. That'd be cool.

The best thing they could do is make a prequel to FFT letting you play as TG Cid, Balbanes, younger Zalbag and Dycedarg, etc. in the Fifty Year War. It seems that the events preceding Tactics weren't quite as explained as they could've done, so a game for them would be awesome.

that would be pretty cool. Maybe one of the main characters could be a Beoulve descendant!

But that prequel would be sex. Thats actually a really good idea. You should send Square-enix an email or something and tell them to do that. That would be a perfect story for a new tactics game.

[Lord Abortion]

Nope.

I thought Nobuo quit... well, I suppose it doesn't make much of a difference either way. He's working freelance, so the possibility of him doing another FF soundtrack isn't out of the question. Same situation with Yasunori Mitsuda.

Nah, Resi Evil 4.

? That game loaded rather fast for me, I don't know what you're talking about.

Hey guys, I'm back. :wave:

I was playing FFVIII today, and I realised how pathetically weak my characters are. They average around 60 - 70 damage. They're level 14, 15, 16. Selphie, Quistis and Irvine.

[Liberi Fatali]

That is not bad, just depends on where you are in the game. But you should be junctioning more by that level, or else you'll never advance much past 60-70 damage.

Weak bosses are opportune times for you to draw really good spells.

Beating Diabloas while you're still in Garden is the best.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Its very difficult for Diabloas to beat you, as his attacks are all gravity based, so only drain a percentage of health.
(though I think he had a melee attack that hits for consistent damage)

And FF11 Diabloas > FF8 one :p

Zombie, Protect and Shell are really good magics when junctioned when you're in the early stages of FF8

plus, if you cast Demi on Diablos (in FF8), he casts Curaga on you for some reason.

[gitzplayer1021]

For some reason, i've always waited until i was using Laguna's team to fight Diablos. i don't think i've ever fought him using Squall... :confused: weird.

Load times are annoying. I say just get an emulator and download the roms for it. If you want to see the FMV's, I believe rpgamer.com and ffdream.com has the cutscenes. :thumb:

[rippa32]

I have the ROM's actually. I want this because I can play it on my TV and because the only translations on the ROM's for FF5 and FF4 Hard Type are quite awful. I could get the american FF2 but then it wouldn't be the proper hard type japanese FF4. Also I may be able to get it cheap off ebay. So is any of the in game graphics changed? I don't care about load times.

ok, i need a few questions answered,

one. when do you get cloud back in dsc 2
2. how do you get cloud's ultimate weapon?
3. what level do you think i should be at after the N.Corel Huge Materia Mission (party at this point and until i get loud back = Cid, Barret, Vincent)

[Brew]

1. Near the end
2. Defeat the Ultimate Weapon, it can be a long and annoying process
3. Er...45/50?

:wave: i'll take over. to get Cloud's Ultimate weapon, you have to get in the highwind and chase Ultima Weapon all over the world map. you have to wait until it stops over an area, and initiate it in a fight. After a set amount of damage, it'll fly off. When you're fight on the Highwind, only long range attacks work. You have to do this several times. Usually you'll see it fly off after a battle and you can chase it, but occasionally you'll have to search all over for it. After a while it'll stop over Cosmo Canyon for the final battle. When you beat it, you'll get the Ultimate Weapon and have access to the Ancient Forest... Good Luck. btw, a few of the spots it stops at are Mideel, Nibel Mountain, Cosmo Canyon and Midgar.

Track 12 Disc 1.

I feel like playing through FFVIII again this weekend. Listening to that soundtrack got me all pumped about it.

Only thing I disliked about that game is that it seemed like characters were only in the spotlight briefly when you first got them, then it went back to Squall and Rinoa.

[innerdark]

another thing, how the hell do you get KotR?

[Timm]

another thing, how the hell do you get KotR?
you need to get a golden chocobo

I try to finish games at as low a level as possible, and then do sidequests that I couldn't do at low levels afterwards. So, I'm pretty sure that's a higher level than I was when beating Seph. I want to say I was around the high 30's, but don't remember for sure.

Hell yeah. The Battle with Magus is such a friggin cool song. It sure sounds like a "dance with death.":thumb:

One thing that I loved about that game is the sound and animation of when everyone unsheathes their weapons and gets in their "ready" positions and it makes that "ching!" sound. I dont know why, but it just adds to that game so much.:thumb:

FF6 and CT definately destroy all other soundtracks.

So, I got both Black Mage CDs today. So awesome. The only problem is I haven't played any FF before FFVII, so I'm unfamiliar with most of the songs. I still appreciate these versions simply in themselves, but they kind of lose that extra little touch you get when you actually recognise the tune.

yeah, thats true. like, i was WOW'd when i heard songs like The Decisive Battle and Zeromus and i was humming along and stuff, but with Flame Demon Monster Gaspard, i loved it but i couldnt hum along with the main melody cos i havent played Dark Chronicles.

here's the link (http://www.geocities.com/akai_sakura/TBM/downloads.html) to the dark chronicles cover if you dont have it.

I love 'em even if I haven't heard the actual in-game music.

[Chrysostom]

I love 'em even if I haven't heard the actual in-game music.

Oh so do I. For instance, "The Rocking Grounds" is awesome even though I've yet to play FFIII. But there's an extra joy to knowing the tune. Not only does it allow you to hum or whistle the tune, but it allows you to see what they've done with the melody and arrangement.

Yeah I agree, though Matoya's Cave owns so much on its own.

The best TBM renditions are the FFIX ones from their second album IMO. Vamo Alla Flamenco and Hunter's Chance \m/

[Lionheart1827]

I believe so.:thumb:

I think The Rocking Ground, Maybe I'm A Lion, Matoya's Cave, J-E-N-O-V-A, Those Who Fight Further, Force Your Way, Zeromus, Hunter's Chance, Vamo' Alla Flamenco, Otherworld and The Man With The Machine Gun are the best TBM tracks.

[rippa32]

Does anyone know where I can download the Magus battle music? Best song in the game, come to think of it Magus is also my favourite character.

Winning the Rainbow's an original isn't it?
yeah, it was written for a wrestler and he uses it as his entrance music. pretty lucky guy.

[DeusExMachina]

Hell yeah. The Battle with Magus is such a friggin cool song. It sure sounds like a "dance with death.":thumb:

One thing that I loved about that game is the sound and animation of when everyone unsheathes their weapons and gets in their "ready" positions and it makes that "ching!" sound. I dont know why, but it just adds to that game so much.:thumb:

FF6 and CT definately destroy all other soundtracks.
Don't forget the Chrono Cross soundtrack! Absolutely amazing.

[Happy]

some japanese wrestler in japanese wrestling. Nobby is a fan.

Oh yeah, and I forgot the Xenogears soundtrack, even though theres not as many songs as the latter, its still a great soundtrack.:thumb:

Chrono Cross had some of the best quality Square had ever put out imo.:thumb:

[MAthiAS]

Apart from Matoya's Cave, I think Maybe I'm A Lion's the best song off that. Perhaps The Skies Above
Maybe I'm A Lion solos own completely.

I like the original version of Man With The Machine Gun better though =/

Yeah but it'd be so much easier to just get KotR.
Nope, because then he uses Ultima.

W-Summon+Quadra magic+Bahamut zero+mime=death.

[MAthiAS]

If you guys haven't checked out Chrono Symphonic yet... do it. Now. This stuff is great, inspiring me to play the game so I can fully appreciate it.

[Happy]

Nope, because then he uses Ultima.

I don't remember that really being a problem with me. Because I linked KotR with Hp Absorb or something. It's been so long since I did it so I can't really remember.

[Liberi Fatali]

Werd.

I can't understand the hype of FFX music. I thought it was dire, to say the least. I think its got some nice stuff on there. Notably:
- Farplane Sending and the various Song of Prayer songs
- Tragedy
- Path of Repentance
- People of the North Pole (One of the best location type FF songs of recent releases IMO)
- Otherworld
- Time of Judgement

I'm probably forgetting some as well. Overall I don't the soundtrack that great, but certainly not dire.

EDIT: And boy do I want one of these puppies:

- People of the North Pole (One of the best location type FF songs of recent releases IMO)

i dont like it when a really good song starts playing in FF. it makes me stand around doing nothing while the song plays :p

i really liked the ending theme and the Blitzball music in FFX too.

[Timm]

haha I always did that when "find your way" in VIII started playing...

[red barchetta]

i did it a lot with FF4 with the world map music, cos the music restarted as when you got into a battle. its one of the reasons why it takes so long for me to complete a FF.

I don't know, I just can't get into it. The only song I like is "At Zanarkand" (can't remember if that's the name exactly). That clarinet (or that's what I think it is) sequence is really nice.

Was it true that the composers from Vagrant Story gave a hand in that soundtrack? The Vagrant Story soundtrack was phenomenal.

[Chrysostom]

I like the original version of Man With The Machine Gun better though =/

I swear they've spliced some of the music from the last Jenova fight in there. The intro, and a section in the middle.

In other news, I bought FFX today. :smoke:

[Lord Abortion]

Yah, I just used to sit with the game paused while Blue fields was on on VIII

[Liberi Fatali]

Nobuo always seems to be able to pull off one track in each Soundtrack that makes you just drop your controller and just listen.

Final Fantasy VIII - Blue Fields
Final Fantasy IX - Esto Gaza
Final Fantasy X - People of the North Pole

Alright, so I can't think of one from VII or any of the other Final Fantasies right now, but you get my point. >.<

Edit: Am I the only one who was pissed off that Esto Gaza was such a small section, I wanted more stuff to happen there so that I could just sit around and listen to that music.

[Pop music sucks]

What about the well-loved One Winged Angel?


Holy Avatar Stealing, Batman! Grease absconded my avatar!

[MAthiAS]

One Winged Angel is so overrated... Aerith's Theme, Cosmo Canyon, Jenova Absolute, and The Birth of God all rape it 666 times over.

[gitzplayer1021]

Cosmo Canyon, any version (but i really like the piano one :thumb: ), is probably one of the greatest songs ever.

i'm so happy, i got a band new FF VIII yeasterday, its the first new one i've seen in 2 years! (unfortunately, al the others i've seen were pre-owned, scratched-to-hell pieces of crap:( )

I had to buy a new VIII. I snapped disc 2.
It's a great feeling when you know you can play it again.

The Advent Children version of Jenova was absurd. Such a catchy guitar riff.

Damn, you just reminded me that id downloaded AC and forgot to bring it with me to uni, damn it.

Even if this is from Final Fantasy XI, I always loved the music in Selbina.

[DeusExMachina]

Chrono Trigger music. Anyone else really love the Guardia Castle theme?

a lot of the music in CT was lovable. i really liked the Tyran Castle music, and the theme tune of each character were good too, especially Robo's.

[Lionheart1827]

Chrono Trigger music. Anyone else really love the Guardia Castle theme?

Hell yeah. If you listen the song "Leftovers of the dreams of the stars" from the Xenogears soundtrack, the intro sounds almost exactly like the guardia castle theme. Gives you that Mitsuda feel.

I'm not sure if this is 100% true, but I read somewhere that Xenogears started out as the sequel to Chrono Trigger but the story elements ended up getting changed dramatically and made into a new game. I always noticed when playing Xeno, it FELT like I was playing a game related to CT.:thumb:

And yeah Chrono Triggers music is awesome. Yasunori Mitsuda \m/

[Lionheart1827]

Anybody fans of Motoi Sakuraba? Hes done some incredible work with the Star Ocean series. He also did Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos(amazing) as well as a bunch of others. You could usually tell a motoi sakuraba soundtrack because he mixes symphonic scores with hard rock elements. Star Ocean 3 and Baten Kaitos are good examples of this.:thumb:

[Liberi Fatali]

A lot of the stuff in Star Ocean - Till the End of Time is awesome. Motoi Sakuraba is one of the only Japanese Game soundtrack composers that I listen to regularly. Along with Nobuo, Yasunori Mitsuda (Xenosaga, Chrono Trigger) Koichi Sugiyama (Dragon Quest series) and Tsuyoshi Sekito (Romancing SaGa)

Fallen Leaves is incredible. I use it when I make my photo montages.

http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=-SwdC6Cm18I

Into A Storm Not Memorized is really cool, too. I love the feel of it. Also Calm Mind Reflected In a Pupil.

You know what pisses me off. When my parents ask me what I'm listening to, and I say like "Star ocean" or "chrono trigger" there like "whats that?" and im liek its "its game music" and there like "oh" and give me a weird face like its taboo to listen to game music. PFT. They dont realize that a lot of RPG music is actually nothing short of great movie scores.:thumb:

[Liberi Fatali]

There is a ton of beautiful songs in Till the End of Time, every time I try and think of my favourite tracks on it, new ones keep springing to mind. Til the End of Time and Misted Moon are two that are really quite beautiful.

My Mum laughed at me when I said I wanted to buy the OST to Final Fantasy VIII. :(

Some of that photography is real nice man. :thumb: And Fallen Leaves suits the collage perfectly. Really nice.

Thanks, the images repeat because its supposed to be used as like a moving image on my uhh (myspace).

but yeah, my friend said to me once "how could you spend 45 bucks on videogame music?" and im like "its 4 cds of good music, a lot being symphonic in nature." meanwhile he buys porno.:rolleyes:

[gitzplayer1021]

I can identify with that... i don't want to sound "superior" or whatever, but i can't stand when people say that instrumental music sucks... i like instrumental music better then most of the stuff on the radios today, especially when it's orchestrated or piano... i guess i just sound stuck-up, but w/e.

Its not stuck-up. You like what you like, and nobody else can tell you what you like. The only stuck-up people are the people that force their own beliefs onto you and try to force you to think that their music is better.:thumb:

Most people are stuck up musically. The mainstream audience look down on alternative stuff as unlistenable crap. Alternative people look down on the mainstream as generic and trashy. Death metalheads look down on other genres as pansyish. Electronica geeks look down on other genres as not adapting to the times and not truly experiencing the music. I'm not saying everybody is like that, but a lot of people do have one genre or section of music that they consider crap.

There will always be people that dislike the music you listen to, it is just a fact of life. No doubt when I'm 60+ and looking through all my old albums I'll think "what the hell was I on?" towards some of my current musical habits. I guess I'll just enjoy them now in the present.

[kamiccollo]

in my experience ive found that people into metal (myself included) to have some of the widest music tastes/ able to appreciate talent in other music styles.

really?
I wouldnt call myself a metalhead, just the maj of music i listen to is metal/h.metal.

I guess the fact that I play an instrument as do a lot of other 'metalers' i know (namely guitar) has an effect on how we view music? Im sure there are a lot though who like liberi said look down on other music genres as not hardcore enough.

Totally agree, except I'd argue he pulls off more than one per game:

FFVII - City of the Ancients/Bizarro Sephiroth/Northern Crater descent music/Jenova theme/Final Jenova theme/One Winged Angel

FFVIII - Centra Ruins/Intro music/Blue Fields/Trust Me/Legendary Beast/The Landing/The Stage Is Set

FFIX - Dagger's song/Evil Forest/Intro music/Hunter's Chance/Dali

FFX - The music outside Besaid Village/Otherworld...there will be more but I only bought it a few days ago, I'm only just past Luca.

[MAthiAS]

Ugh... what's so great about One Winged Angel? Its so mediocre compared to everything else in that game.

I think if you are a musician, you tend to have wider musical tastes. Ever since I started playing guitar, I have migrated to just about every genre of music involving guitar. Not to mention I listen to classical music and of course, game music. I've learned to appreciate music A LOT more and I wonder what artists were thinking when they think of some of this music. :thumb:

Man those songs on the FF12 website are tantalising. FF12 better be worth the wait. >.<

And I've found that ever since I started learning guitar, I've started branching away from guitar based music. It sucks. :( Stupid changing music tastes.

[kamiccollo]

True a lot of the time, but not always.
I find though that the most elitism is in jazz.

I expect thats its because they consider jazz to be harder to learn to play espesially freestyle compared to ther genres, and its probably true to some extent. You have to be a very good musician to do well in jazz.
Even excellent musicians (in general) dont necessarily make good money, after all the music industry is all mostly about image, thats what sells.

I reckon as you learn an instrument, music becomes more than something you just listen to, you learn to appreciate the creativity a lot more and you see it in other music styles as well and can appreciate them more.

I have to say though indie music tends to annoy me, they want to look 'cool'/sound like theyre not putting any effort into their music and it shows. Thing is it doesnt have to be like that there are some perfectly decent talented indie bands out there.
Its back to the image thing, too much focus on that than the music.

I don't know many metalheads that like pop.

I don't think it'll be all that good.

[crag]

from what i've read the story doesn't seem to be up to much

[Happy]

They're running out of ideas.

[red barchetta]

i dont think so too. its really not that overhyped as well. loads of people think that it wont be that good because of that new battle system which looks like a mix of FFX-2 and the Tales series.

i would want it to be good though...

the worst thing about it is that Nobby aint composing the music for it.

It's not worth buying then.

[red barchetta]

even if there is a really good composer, i doubt the legendary fanfare tune will be in the game seeming as there arent any random battles. and there wont be any fancy victory celebrations after a battle :(

[Lionheart1827]

I think its time they make another Chrono game.

Those douchebags.

Is it just me or does companies never listen to the fans?:thumb:

They should also make a new Mana game, but in the vein of the top down old school ones. I know they're making new mana games, but from what ive seen, they dont look very tempting.

even if there is a really good composer, i doubt the legendary fanfare tune will be in the game seeming as there arent any random battles. and there wont be any fancy victory celebrations after a battle :(

Ohhhh man...Sqauresoft, what're you doing to my precious series!?

[Liberi Fatali]

the worst thing about it is that Nobby aint composing the music for it.
I thought he was, just with another guy helping him. Like on X.

And they haven't started running out of ideas, there are so many different stories they could think of, characters they could create and worlds they can live in.

[DeusExMachina]

I think they haven't run out of ideas. I mean, look at all the other unique games they're releasing. I think that the FF series has just started to become formulaic. It's a franchise, so they're releasing what works. I just hope I'm wrong.

[MAthiAS]

Maybe they should've just ended it at IX, after all, that was a tribute to the previous FFs. But then they'd be leaving the capabilities of the new systems to waste. So... new Chrono? I think its gotten to the point where any new FF is going to be stacked up against 9 of the greatest games of all time, so its really not going to please.

maybe he is after all... i swear he left the Square-Enix staff a few months back...

AND SEGA SHOULDNTVE CANNED THE SEQUEL TO SKIES OF ARCADIA! NOOOOOOO!!

I KNOOOOOOOW!!!!!! :(


Anyways, I think FF12 looks nice, and the demo sure plays nice. But then, I'm no FF expert.

[MAthiAS]

Since there's this talk about them running out of ideas, what premise would you guys want in a new FF?

And I just started VIII again... classic.

[Hep Kat]

Well so much has been done, I honestly can't think of much more.

I'll leave that to Square.

pirates are amazing :cool:

i just thought that mixing Zelda: Wind Waker's world and Final Fantasy's battle system and unique characters might be interesting.

[numetaljordan]

ffxii will be great, just because the little bit of the story they have revealed doesnt look to compelling, in every FF theres always twitsts and turns that will make the game great

[spitfirejunky]

They should adapt some Vagrant Story themes into a new FF.

[Happy]

Or make a Vagrant Story 2.

[spitfirejunky]

^ That would please me to no end. :)

[MAthiAS]

Ninjas > Pirates, but do both.

Their best stories were with rebellion, in VI, VII, and Tactics. So I'd use a premise that incorporated that. Piracy could work with that, especially if you want an ADB system.

Ya know, I wish Zidane had stayed in Tantalus in IX, at least for longer. Seems like it could've made for a lot more fun.

[FlyingPaul_83]

Tantalus......can't remember :(

what was that place?

[MAthiAS]

It was the band of thieves.

[FlyingPaul_83]

It was the band of thieves.

:amaze: wow, I'm retarded.

I remeber the first battle in that game. :lol:

I also remebered during the fighting in the play thing, you could do an attack called efx and it was just a flashy attack that did no damage :lol:

[MAthiAS]

Yeah I remember that. It was cool.

[Lionheart1827]

I remember when I first played FF8, as soon as the intro came up, I had to take an enormous crap. So I exited out then took a dump. I came back and restarted, then watched the intro like 4 times in a row.:thumb:

[MAthiAS]

Yeah, it is one sick intro. I was so surprised and happy today when my disc didn't skip at all.
