- shutaro, on 08/25/2008, -0/+19Dude, Final Fantasy XII has lizard men and chicks with rabbit ears... What more do you want?
- medfreak, on 08/25/2008, -0/+18I am pretty sure that Final Fantasy 7 had a black guy who was one of the main heroes.
- T440, on 08/26/2008, -0/+16Maybe it's just because I own a DS, but the graphics look pretty damn impressive.
- Elranzer, on 08/25/2008, -0/+1512 playable characters? For a "spin-off" title that originally began on cell phone, the game sure seems full-featured.
- bdfariello, on 08/25/2008, -3/+15Paine, Tidus, and Zell? Who let you out of X-2, X, and VIII, respectively?
Seriously, can't they come up with characters that look different, or do they have a meticulous algorithm that keeps pumping out the same characters over and over? - sfacets, on 08/26/2008, -0/+11What, blond surfy types with blue eyes that look like Japanese who are trying too hard to be Australian?
- Huangism, on 08/25/2008, -1/+10the story line is why people play
- Huangism, on 08/25/2008, -0/+7hence fantasy
- jeremymccurdy, on 08/26/2008, -0/+7What about Tellah from Final Fantasy 4? He was old as hell. And Cid from Final Fantasy 7 was middle aged as far as I remember.
- shawnanigans, on 08/26/2008, -0/+6Human sized swords.
- T440, on 08/26/2008, -0/+6Yep, that would be Barret. Raijin from FF8 was black also.
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -2/+8More androgynous 15-year olds.
Woohoo! - bdfariello, on 08/25/2008, -4/+9Please, what do you play? Grand Theft Auto? Tell me how 4 is game-changingly different than San Andreas which is, of course, vastly different than Vice City. I see a guy running around with weapons completing missions and stealing cars.
Or perhaps you're one of the guys that argues which is better between Gran Turismo 4 and Forza Motorsports. Or maybe you prefer Need For Speed. I see fancy cars that you can upgrade or buy with money you get from doing well in races.
I'm going to be minimalistic with FPS's, because there are already too many games where the objective is to run around and shoot all the bad guys on your screen with different kinds of guns.
The only thing any Final Fantasy game has in common with another (apart from the obvious sequels) is that Square makes them. Even some of the FF games that are sequels of other FF games have noticably different gameplay (try comparing FF VII: Dirge of Cerberus to the original). - Falldog, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4I just hope I don't have to play all of the games in order to appreciate the full story (assume SE decides to put one in). I don't have a PSP, nor do I have plans to purchase one, but it would suck to high hell to play the console game only to watch them reference and interact with characters only from Agito.
- zantos420, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4this story sounds an awful lot like FF8 (gardens getting attacked; students at military school)
but hey, i love final fantasy (3[6]+7ftw) and chrono chross stole too many hours of my life! i want them back! ... wait.., no, all the alternate endings were worth it... - craterburnsu, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4The only thing any of the XIII titles have in common is the universe in which they are based. The stories and characters are all independent, tho they did say there may be times where characters form other XIII games make cameos.
- volacide, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4I'm not saying what they're doing is a good thing, just that it was to be expected. Look at anime, all the people look exactly the same there too. It's a Japanese thing.
That being said, it's not going to stop me from playing. I could care less. - TangentThought, on 08/26/2008, -1/+4I would prefer a change in storyline over buying the same sports game over and over with a different year slapped on it.
- TimDigg, on 08/26/2008, -1/+4FFXIII is the first FF I've been interested in since FFVII
- xenonlight, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3the character designs for VII, VIII, X, and X-2, were all tetsuya nomura's (the guy behind kingdom hearts and FFXIII Versus)...so in terms of pumping the same characters, yeah, Square's been doing that for a while since they let Tet work on the designs.
- jessenoob, on 08/26/2008, -1/+4I know you want to be on the front page, but there is a reply button.
- sekander94, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3As was vincent
- merdiesel, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3It's perfect how this is right below...

You probably didn't piss anyone off but you did make it pretty clear you don't know what you're talking about. No one is playing to "see what else there is in the story line" because with the exception of X-2 each Final Fantasy is a different story and setting. Also, while they are all pretty similar it's not exactly the same gameplay since they often have different battle systems and what not. They are all CRPGs so it's similar but not always the same necessarily. - nobelief, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2on a blog, if you're at the main page, you only usually a blurb of the article. clicking the link to see the full article is a jump
- graemee, on 08/26/2008, -1/+3"boarders" invaded, sounds kinky. They finally are making it a H-game by the sounds of that, a rape simulator perhaps?
- Vanor, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2It looks good, but will it play good? ***** it doesn't even look good. The characters look fugly. I know they're supposed to be modelled on Japanese people, but god damn aren't there ***** people in Japan with RED HAIR or is that a damned myth? Seriously give us a ***** protagonist with a half-scarred face, a half asian/half black ninja, a ***** cute and happy ditz of a chick who turns out to be incredibly ***** evil, and old suave ladies' man who's actually a deposed king!
I thought JRPGs were supposed to keep you engrossed cuz the characters were so endearing? I mean ***** that's why I was charmed by Tales of Symphonia, Legendia, and The Abyss, because the characters stood out, even more than the ***** plot.
Seriously when will we break the stereotypes that we have to cringe through now on both sides of the planet? Bulky meathead bulletsponges over here, and anorexia-ridden girly boys from overseas.
Meh. Obviously not from Square. FF12 should've been Vagrant Story 2 YOU GOD DAMN *****!!! And get around to making another Parasite Eve sometime you talentless hacks! - krustie, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2Load damn you!
- Dante369, on 08/27/2008, -0/+2They're making a new Parasite Eve on psp....
- jman82s, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2I was a bit surprised that they put Titus in there, yet Vaan from FFXII was nowhere to be seen.
- Elranzer, on 08/26/2008, -1/+3Most of the cast of FF6 were adults, as well as the largest and most diverse.
There was an 18 year old (Terra), King (Edgar), old man (Strago), little girl (Relm), Ninja (Shadow), and middle-aged samurai (Cyan). There was also a playable Moogle (Mog), Yeti (Umaro), and previous FF5 boss (Gogo).
FF7's cast were mostly anime stereotypes. FF8 was the worst though... everyone was a college freshman. - cheesylobster, on 08/26/2008, -1/+3Agreed. I'm sick of all the super feminine pretty-boy child characters. Everyone from FFVII was very diverse, and this is one of the reasons why it was a great game. Square seems to have thrown out character development all together..
- RoboB0b, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2lol I don't care who sees what I write. I'm not that shallow. Where the reply button usually is, it just said thread so I figured it wasn't going to go any deeper and it wouldn't be obvious who I was replying to.
- jo21, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1well its not space marines over and over
and they look different.
similar style due the same designer since its brilliant. - jo21, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1none of the ff13 are spin off
but rather all new games on their own. - khyberkitsune, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2The same? Umm, I guess you've not seen the real-time combat system of Crisis core or XI or XII? You know, where you actually have the option to DODGE ***** in real time, and not just get hit or missed and accept it?
Failtroll fails, hard. - inactive, on 08/26/2008, -2/+3Damn I wish I didn't sell my psp ;(
- inactive, on 08/26/2008, -3/+4You take a bunch of barbie dolls, dress them up in cute male and female schoolboy/schoolgirl outfits, and you get final fantasy characters.
- sekander94, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1So they are the same, except for some differences?
- Gimjee, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2Whoa yeah, that's some real options to gameplay there. Dodging crap in "real time".
- Darkangel754, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1he's in versus XIII
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/t-didy11/lolw ... - skyteria, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1FF is one of the few RPG's that changes it's battle system and skill system every single time. So that's a strange thing to criticize the series for.
- medfreak, on 08/25/2008, -2/+3It is not on the PC... yet...
- Darkangel754, on 08/27/2008, -0/+1http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/t-didy11/lolw ...
They need some more original characters. - volacide, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1Agito is a PSP exclusive title. It's not on the PS3 or 360.
- bdfariello, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1Good point... The only thing stopping me is lack of ownership of a next-gen console. One day I'll be done with college/grad school and be able to afford one. Until then, it's back to Battletoads. Stupid hover bike level...
- Andon, on 08/26/2008, -0/+1Agito...Makashima? Why is that the only thing I think of when I see the title for this game? Anyone?
- carlosos, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2Was there anyone else that was thinking that this looks pretty bad for a PS3 game before noticing that it is for the PSP?
The looks impressive for the PSP. I never thought the PSP has that much power. - artfiend77, on 08/26/2008, -1/+2Guys, I'm curious, I have a stupid question. What's a jump?
