Kingdom Hearts used to be so much simpler. All of these sequels, prequels, and spin-offs have muddied the waters quite a bit, so it's understandable that the happenings within the Realm of Darkness aren't easy to grasp. I'll try to--pardon the pun--shed some light on the situation. The universe...

lol that's about as likely as this happening.

"Hatred" is too strong a word. Most critics that have provided a coherent argument against FFXIII don't profess to hate the game, but rather, express disappointment at certain aspects. You correctly name linearity as one of the main criticisms held by FF fans, though many other FFs can be...

The great thing about Final Fantasy is you can pick up the series from any number and thoroughly enjoy it. Although it's true that I've played more FFs than you, that doesn't mean much in terms of understanding FFXIII since the FF games aren't sequential and the information isn't cumulative. The...

You have to fill in and activate every node on the grid, which also includes unlocking all the level 1-4 spheres. It's quite tedious lol.

Before I can delve into the whys and hows of the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, I first wish to give you a general outline on the main problems facing this compilation. I'm going to assume you're a Western gamer who has had little dealings with the Japanese versions of these games. The difference...

If development is far enough along, his attention and efforts are better spent elsewhere, especially if SE wants to get a new game in line for after FFXV's release. Considering how long the game has been in production, its release shouldn't be too far off. I'm more curious to as what Kitase...

I can't understand why people keep saying GZ is "short". It's as long as you make it out to be. If you want to play pure stealth and turn Reflex Mode off, it lasts you a long time. I've clocked more than 15 hours, and I only have 22% of the game completed. There's so much to do and so many...

When Squaresoft merged with Enix, a new business model was implemented. It isn't enough to churn out a full-fledged Final Fantasy every 1-3 years; Square-Enix has made a push to increase its revenue by taking shortcuts, relying heavily on marketing, and exploiting old accomplishments rather than...

You're regretfully missing the entire point of my argument. Allow me to explain it a different way: Final Fantasy XIII is an incomplete game. You, the gamer, are only allowed access to a small portion of its story. Because of the sloppy exposition, the gameplay suffers as it corresponds...

I wish to second this notion. When I saw the trailer coupled with this news on Snow, my heart filled with an overpowering melancholy. Indeed, despite being a devoted fan of the Final Fantasy series, I regretfully cannot play this title. Lightning, Serah, and Snow were enjoyable characters until...

This is quite impressive. Final Fantasy IX is by no means a small game and this discovery gives testament to the game's depth and detail. It begs the question of how much more we're missing from this truly great, yet tragically passed over game. It is a shame that FFIX was released towards the...

Ah, a fellow Cap fan! Pleasure to meet you. One of my favorite Cap lines is from the Marvel Civil War: "When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—'No. You move.'" I love Cap, but...

Before I get to the heart of my views on FFXIII, I would like to take a moment to first make note of the dissemination of information found within the XIII "trilogy" (my use of quotations will be explained later). Before the initial release of FFXIII, Square Enix released Episode Zero--a...

I've never received so many replies to an intro thread before, lol. I hardly know where to start my reply. First, I'd like to thank everyone for welcoming me. It may not seem like much to you guys, but it means a lot to be greeted with posts that consist of more than just 1337 and netspeak. My...

I'm going to take a Jamesian approach to defining good and evil. According to William James, a good is defined as a demand made by one person on another person or persons. This demand can be rooted in morals, ethics, beliefs, and desires. When a bad or an "evil" act is committed, it is defined...

I found this forum by chance today. Much to my surprise, it had several interesting threads containing intelligent conversation with complete sentences and proper syntax--something of a rarity these days. I have long believed the intelligent conversation to be dead on Final Fantasy sites; you've...
