I picked up this book a few months ago. I spent a fun afternoon or two with it but none of the articles were particularly memorable. I might say something more intelligent about this after I glance at the book again.

My PS2 stopped playing PS1 games like that. It started off just being sometimes with some games. It would give me the "disk read error" message and I would just open the tray and restart the system and it would work, but it eventually it stopped playing them altogether, but it played the PS2...

I have a strange fondness for II's Queen Hilda. She was the most memorable character in the game for me. But of course, not that many people have played II, and of those that have sometimes I feel like the only one who liked it. I also love most of the guys who follow you around in X. Maechen...

I've played X I think... seven times? Six or seven, anyway. My longest playthrough, where I got all the celestial weapons, aeons, seals, and limit breaks was somewhere between 86 and 92 hours. Probably a third of that was blitzball. God, I love X. The only other thing that even comes close was...

The first couple of hours of XIII are pretty much tripe. If I wasn't such a huge FF fan I probably would have put the game down then. You aren't properly introduced to the battle system until the plot starts happening and you get to use your paradigms. That will be 2 to 3 hours into the game...

I think VII and VIII would both be fine choices. I liked XIII, but I'd put it further down the list in priority. Saying X is your favorite is somewhat unhelpful, because it's sort of an oddball in the series. It's my favorite too, though. VII is of course a total classic. Awesome, convoluted...

Bi here! A while back someone asked about coming out experiences? Well, when I was 15/16 I "came out" to my friends, and their response was more or less "Whatever." Which was disappointing in a way. Obviously, I was glad my friends were okay with me, but I struggled a long time about whether...

My two cents... I'm always a little sorry to insult something people love, because I know, silly as it is, that can feel pretty bad. But Twilight is tripe. Bella is a clod, and her love interests are assholes. The writing is bland and purple at best, and the plot is completely shallow and...

I'm a big fan of the FFIV Overclocked Remix album: http://ocremix.org/album/14/final-fantasy-iv-echoes-of-betrayal-light-of-redemption The orchestral stuff near the beginning is particularly amazing, and "The Phantom of the Zeromus" pokes my happy buttons, even though it's pretty silly. And...

Ugh, I've had this problem since about the eighth grade. School is probably my least favorite thing in the world. And yet, I'm a year and a half away from a second bachelor's degree. Man does it suck so bad. The only thing that I've found works for me is to go to a coffee shop or a library...

It's not perfect, but I quite liked it. In fact, the only complaint I can think of is that the tracks for the more epic boss battles didn't last long enough, so you ended up listening to them two or three times. That kind of pulled me out of the action and reminded me I was playing a video game.

I gave it a 9. I hesitate to call anything perfect, but enjoyed XIII's battles a lot. Not dying when your leader died might have made it better, and making choosing your individual actions more viable versus just auto-battling continually would have made it better.

I voted for XIII. I don't know if it's objectively better than XII, but I know I enjoyed it a lot more than XII. XII felt like drudgery after a while.

I completed XIII Monday, and after a little thought, this is how feel about it. In general, I liked it but didn't love it. I went in expecting something like VIII, a game that is really great in some ways, but also has some glaring flaws, and that's more or less what I got. The Good Stuff: The...

X is my favorite. It has a great battle system, a great cast of characters, and the best plot of the series. I'll admit that VI and VII may be objectively overall better, but X is my favorite. I like II. A lot. I'm very puzzled by the general dislike/hate of it. It was the first FF with a plot...

Least favorite: XII -Balthier is one of the best characters in anything ever. If the rest of the cast had been as awesome and nuanced as he is, this might be my favorite Final Fantasy instead of my least favorite. -Huge cities. It was neat to run around places that felt like people actually...

I'm 8-ish? hours in. I had very mixed feelings at first, but I'm starting to quite like the battle system. I didn't really get what was going on plot-wise for a while, but I think I'm up to speed now. Thus far, my favorite character is Sazh, but I think I'll quite like Fang when she joins your...

Indeed! But in all seriousness, I've encountered this attitude a couple of times on the internet and cannot understand it at all, to the point I question whether someone with this stance really played the game. I guess because she's sweet and soft spoken and physically weak people make their...

I voted Sephiroth/Aeris, because that is just the most nonsensical thing to me. Their only interaction is Sephiroth ramming a sword through her chest, and NO that is not a metaphor for anything. Cloud/Sephiroth is pretty unreasonable also, but there's the whole foe yay thing, and Cloud did hero...

This kind of thing is definitely preferable to heroes like Vaan, who is nothing special at all. I wouldn't mind someone like a highly trained soldier being the main protagonist, however. Take Cecil, sure he ended up BEING FROM A RACE OF MOON PEOPLE, but through most of the game he was a high...
