OK, I'm bored so I'll contribute. The last anime I watched was Ponyo, the most recent Ghibli movie, and that was months ago. I honestly believe that Miyazaki is incapable of making a bad movie. Anyway, this movie was entirely hand drawn, since Miyazaki’s claims that using CG is very...

The fact that Kingdom Hearts is a Japanese-developed game hurts its potential. The reason I say this is because there are potential worlds that we will never see. Ever since playing the first game I wished there were some worlds based on Disney’s TV shows, not just their movies. Wouldn’t a...

phone games are a big market in Japan because so many people spend so much time on trains. Eventually they get bored and start to surf the net, then they see ads for all these games, so they think "well I'm stuck on this train for another hour, so I'll download one." A phone game is like $3-5...

I suppose you're just going to keep at this. Need I remind you that you began with a claim that my comment was 100% wrong (not... at all was how you said it)? When having a discussion or argument, being so brash is not a good thing to do. I had the right to clarify my comment for you. being so...

I'm sorry, but I don't really understand. I never considered the act of discussing to be childish or defensive. I'm not trying to fight you or anything, so please don't get that idea. I supposed, but memento giving is so common in all forms of story-telling I never considered to be much of a...

I think that the large amount of FF music that has been played by orchestras and in various ethnic styles make me a bit biased because some of them are performed so well, but I’d still say Uematsu. While there are Sakuraba songs I love, looking at all the music as a whole, Uematsu wins (though I...

Yeah. Seriously, trying to play a real game like this on a phone is one of the worst experiences around. First I had to buy special earphones for my phone so I didn’t disturb everybody around me while I played, but I still have to play with the damn phonepad, which is horribly awkward. Oh, and...

Yay. Now I'm being attacked... Anyway, the references you mentioned are nowhere near explicit enough. Saying things like "you remind me of someone" or making vague references are little winks aimed specifically at the people who know what the character is aluding too, but it's just common...

Well I can imagine some people not figuring out that they can run up walls with Triangle.

Wow. Somebody misinterpreted what I said. I’m not saying that they were designed to be different characters. My point is that in order to make the game work (as in having all the characters together in the game), changes needed to be made. The whole premise of the game causes various...

I live in Japan and have the FFIV sequel. It's really cool. It plays just like the SNES original, but new characters of course. Golbez is old and has no mask, there are two Kains (a good an evil one of course), and the main character is name Theodore (and I thought Cecil was a wussy name)...

I have to agree with Aztec Triogal. I never intended this thread to be a put-down to newer rpgs; I really like the immersive and detailed stories, and I also like the fact that they aren’t hard as sh** because for those games I’m much more concerned with story progression. However, I am...

The characters in Dissidia are (at least as I assumed) slightly alternate versions of their original, much like Kingdom Hearts. They make no mention of (in fact they almost entirely disregard) events or characters in any of the games that the characters came from (probably in order to not...

Ok I pretty sure nobody cares to read this, but I’m bored, so I’ll satisfy my fanboy urges and add my list. My aim is not to find someone who sounds like the Japanese voice actors so much as finding someone who fits the personality (based on my knowledge of English voice actors). Also, this is...

I would have liked a training mode or a detailed tutorial, but they give you little more than blurbs of text. The fighting system be really confusing when you're first starting off. It took me a while to get the hang of it, and I can read Japanese.

If we focus just on this game, Kuja's pretty evil. To put it in perspective, if someone who had never played FFIX picked up Dissidia, they would probably "Wow. This Kuja is one evil guy."

Oh boy are we really doing this? Going by the events of the game and the dialogue, the only chaos characters that are not evil are Jecht and Golbez. Everyone else is evil, especially ExDeath. Golbez conceded that he was dark and joined chaos, but helps and advises the heroes along the way. Jecht...

Well I was 5 when my family got an NES (and it was like $200). Also, I feel the need to mention (for no apparent reason), that when Dragon Warrior (the first RPG on the NES in the US) was released Nintendo Power Magazine sold the game, the strategy guide, and a years subscription to the...

I’ve been making a list, so, being bored, I decided to post it here. I’ve been playing games since I was a wee pup with the NES. As far as rpgs are concerned, I was raised on games like Dragon Quest (formerly Warrior) Phantasy Star and the original Final Fantasy. These games were hard...

Some of the characters got gypped. Some of the characters get image changes, and others just change colors. I would have liked to see some new costumes for all the characters (Like the old, helmetless Golbez from the FFIV sequel).
