Starting to get worried about this. I quite like the graphical direction the game is taking, sort of like a TP and WW cross, but my main concern is the controls. We know that the game forces you to use motion plus controls, there aren't any other control schemes available, which is disappointing...

1. FFIX My favourite game of all time, it succeeded in every area for me, including characters, setting, music, sotryline, and had a fun but not overly complex battle system. This game defines fantasy RPGs for me, and the storyline is actually a lot deeper than most people give it credit for...

Started working my way through Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection tonight, and so far I'm loving it. Firstly, the game looks fantastic, based on screen shots and clips that I'd seen I hadn't expected it to look that much better than the SNES and GBA versions, but they really don't do it...

The exact prices are £7.99 or $9.99 for UK and US members. So unless you're absolutely a die hard collector who has to have physical copies, I'd go with the PSN version if you have a PS3 or PSP, not just for the price, but also the reliability, PS1 discs are very prone getting scratched and...

Mood: Relieved Well I got through my presentation okay, somehow. I stayed up all night to get the argument and political analysis how I wanted it, and only got a 2 hour nap before I had to head off. I made a few slip ups whilst delivering it due to tiredness, but it seems to have been generally...

Much like most other people on this forum, RPGs are my favourite genre. I find them appealing because the storyline keeps you interested and gives you the motivation to progress. Even disregarding the storyline, I enjoy the genuine challenge of many of these games, such as fighting super bosses...

Despite the fact Quina is obviously genderless, for some reason I always thought of Quina as a girl but Quale as a guy, which is odd seeing as they are nearly identical in appearance. Maybe it was because Vivi mentioned Quale looked like his grandfather. Quina is actually called 'him' a few...

Mood: Worried Have a pretty terrible hangover after one of the weirdest nights out I can remember, and now I have to somehow read through a list of books and journals and prepare a presentation that I will give tomorrow. I seem to be reading at the alarming pace of about 10 words per minute at...

At the time it was the first real RPG I had played (except for pokemon :olivia:), so I had no idea that it was almost unknown compared to FFVII! It's a shame though, I think FFIX is sooo much more fun than FFVII is.

Well my first name begins with J, and Wick is an abbreviation of my surname. I had a mind blank when I was choosing a name for this site, and JWick was the first thing that came to my head. So in other words, it's completely uncreative on my part.

Zidane is probably my favourite, he's just such an awesome leader, and the other characters all seem a bit helpless without him in some way. I swap my teams around a lot, but my favourite team is Zidane, Steiner, Amarant and Dagger, it just works really well for me :)

Yup, I've played FFIX since I was 10 years old, and I've been a complete fanboy ever since! Nice job with Ozma too, it's definitely one of the harder fights in the FF series ^_^

Nintendo seems to be keeping to the trend of wanting to avoid being a multimedia system as opposed to a game system. http://kotaku.com/5812090/the-wii-u-will-not-play-dvds-and-blu+ray-discs I'm a bit bummed out by that. It felt like the Gamecube was being left behind when it couldn't play...

Mood: Tired Another night with only 3 hours of sleep due to my annoying tendency to leave seminar reading to the absolute last minute. It's also ridiculously warm at the moment, woke up feeling dehydrated as hell. In better news, got my exams back, and they are both comfortably firsts, which is...

Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection and Wipeout Pulse, both for PSP! Didn't so much buy them as get given them for my birthday, but hey, new video games all the same! And now that I'm finished with essays for the term, looks like I'll be spending a lot of time glued to the PSP.

This would be so saddening if it didn't get released considering how good the game looks so far. All the same, I don't view "We are having to be very very careful in how we decide what would be the best way to deliver the game to all the gamers." as a comment that suggests it won't get a Western...

As far as I understand, no. The FFIV Kain does mention that his father (who's name was Richard) died fighting an evil empire, which would sort of fit in if you assume Kain viewed Ricard as a father figure of sorts, but at the same time it wouldn't explain where all the kingdoms in FFIV sprang...

I'd probably go for some really over the top orchestrated music for boss battles and final battle themes, maybe something from Immediate Music or Two Steps from Hell. For regular old random battles, I think you'd need something less serious, and something that wouldn't become hopelessly...

Assuming for the moment that the balance board thing was a joke, I would love to see more Nintendo FF games. A lot of other people on here seem to have written the games off with little or no experience of Nintendo FF games. Whilst it's true they haven't all enjoyed the critical and commerical...

Of course, I was only stating my opinion. Nearly all of what I say here is subjective and is basically just the premise that I'm using to decide whether a Wii-U is worth buying for myself ^_^ I do still stand by my opinion of the Kinect though. I'm not denying that it is capable of introducing...
