The cast going from cadets, to top mercs, to rebels floating around on a flying town, it just showed how much thought they put into the story to make it alittle more closer to reality and not trying to top 7 (which was their pinnacle in the fantasy storyline to most)

prepare for long rant...
 
oh man... i dont get how you can think that 8 has a amazing battle system... its so pathetically easy to beat enemies because of how limits worked in that game... just get yourself to 25% health using demi or something on yourself and keep switching character selection till you get a limit break, then let the ownage ensue, every 10 seconds or so... "IRVING USES LIMIT BREAK! QUICK SHOT! BUDDA-BUDDA... 1 turn KO!" or "SQUALL USES LION HEART! BOOM! EPIC DMG!!!"... bosses were a joke in that game, i could have gotten to the end at an even lower level then 24 if i really wanted to, but i was doing some exploring. plus it was annoying how your stat and magic system work... sucking magic from enemies... then attaching magic to your stats to boost them? run around and grab a ton of ultima and attach it to something, and you got an epic stat... there are just too many blatant flaws in the game, as i will list a few more: enemies level up with you (pointless to kill enemies to level up for an advantage) you get paid based on your rank on a regular basis like a salary (no point in killing enemies for money...) it just makes it pretty much pointless to fight in the game. i got to the end of the game at about level 20 and never ranked up, and managed to get to nearly the top rank and level 100 (max) in about an hour... really... its that easy... and the story... was... well... a sappy and predictable love story... i felt that 8 was the first FF that began the death spiral of FF.

oh man that was long... but yea... those are some of my reasons i think 8 wasnt really that great... if you care to read them.

ouch .... that hurt >_< Elc you big mean bully ^_^ ...
You pointed that 25% hp way but in 7 you could put your self in this way too while nuking you self your rage meter goes up >_< and there was materia that give you limit break status ... so ehhh ...
For magic draw sys that was for me superior idea I like this idea and enchanting your self with magic that you draw that give you more thinking in battle ( if you enchanted your self whit powerfull spells each time you used one you wekining your self >_< ) summon sys for me was good idea too .... for the ranks ... hmmm for me it's normal thing why there should be money from fallen enemy ?? You received ingredients from them and loot so you could sell it all if you wanted >_< money and more you are mercenary(that was gardens) so why you should don't receive paid from them. For love story ^_^ ow god I don't think in 7 was that much better >_< and for entirety of story I like more 8 ^_^.

well then you have to remember the giant leap they had to do in thinking since the change from 6 to 7 was pretty big, completely different universe and feel, 7 had its certain kind of feeling, that many people loved, since many can kind of relate to the things of that world.

but yea, i still stand by my opinion that 8 was way too chock full of problems to be considered the best, sure, the other FF games had their share of problems, but 8 was... well... full to the brim and leaking with problems... im pretty sure most people can agree with me on that.

Kercon 12-31-2009 05:22 AM

Re: Favorite oldgen system; favorite game.
 
Yeah I didn't say that I don't agree cuz is true >_< but still I like 8 more than 7 >_< and still you can kill me but I'm not changing my mind about it ( yeah I know I'm bit of fanatic some times X_X ) ok so lets make truce and avoid this subject for now ( in future we can make full debate and vote on your fave one ) ^_^ cuz I think we are scaring other people in posting here ^_^

How about this, both 7 and 8 are sub-par and 9 is the best 3D Final Fantasy game?

I do like 8 over 7, however, they are both pretty bad. Honestly, once you take off the nostalgia goggles, you'll understand.

>Take off nostalgia goggles
>like FF9 the best


does not compute. FF9 was made completely for the sake of nostalgia!

Oni ..... ^_^ ( I don't want to be mean but from all FF I dislike 9 most ) dunno why thus ....

Re: Favorite oldgen system; favorite game.
 
Well, let's just say my favourite Final Fantasy game is FF6, closely followed by FF4.

And I still consider FF9 better than 7 and 8, the battle system was better than both of them, the graphics made sense to the eye and the story was better.

I've been a long time Megaman fan since the NES playing almost all of the incarnations (also loved Megaman Legends) Every new Battle Network game was just a continuation of the fun.

Have you heard of the new Battle Network for the DS, in which they cross over with Star Force?

I think so but my DS has been broken for awhile now and haven't been able to play any games on it. I'll definetly have to look it up.
