Yeah, that was a logical assumption to make but unfortunately Crisis Core has the player exposed to certain events that in 7 were used to create a plot twist concerning Cloud. Well, I suppose it won't be as shocking now. Regardless... have fun with the game. Definitely worths a play.

I didn't like XII when I played it back in the day. Not because it felt quite different from the previous ones but because the plot was too straightforward for my liking and characters didn't receive much exposition. I like it now for other things it did well and because it did evolve the series...

Well, you’ll be glad to hear that this is not the case with Cloud. With most characters actually. Along with 12, 7 easily has the most grey world in the main series.Villains whose acts are result of ends-justify-means, main characters who don’t care about the state of the world or when they jump...

for XIII only Liked: Art direction. Disliked: Gameplay. Outside of battles it is practically non existent.

As long as everything was held at some point the achievement/trophy should pop up. There are no reported glitches on this. The check list was either incomplete, or you missed something.

A reason isn't an excuse its a reason. You just used forgiveness, reason, and excuse interchangably in the same statement. Those 3 words all have their own meaning. So I think you need to use words properly. I used one of them, reason. And if your assuming what I meant with the first thread to...

If not excused then forgiven. All the same. You use the ''first installment on next gen'' as a reason why the gameplay suffered. That's what an excuse is. Go back and read what you said or if that's not what you wanted to say then go back and read how it sounds and then learn how to word things...

How that offers an excuse is totally beyond me. You're basically saying that it's their first installment on the Next-Gen systems so gameplay should be excused because... creating good gameplay has something to do with being familiar with the hardware and not something like -I don't know-...

If Ultimecia had taken over Edea there and then, then she wouldn't have built the Garden in the first place. I don't remember if it was specifically said how Ultimecia possessed Edea but if it was not said then it can be assumed that she did using the machine Odine made. When Ultimecia fade...

Replaying it to finally get a perfect file. I've been trying this for years but was never pleased with the results as I was always missing something. Yeah. Being a Final Fantasy VIII fanboy is so much better.

Pretty much. It's a convenient thing since the game was "divided" the way it was.

^ Not really. Meteor was Sephiroth's plan. He was pulling the strings.

If you take into account when each game was released then FFXIII. If you don't then FFXIII is still a valid candidate. The game was inexcusably linear, practically made you play on auto, it had a repetitive structure with almost no diversity in gameplay and many design flaws within what it had...

In theory it's not impossible for any villain to turn good. In practice that would require another game and I'd rather SE stopped with ff7 and started whoring other ff installments. It would also require competence to pull it right and that's something that's mostly lacking from certain SE...

^ Just a sarcastic title really, hinting at what Squall said about Laguna after the first dream sequence. XD
