Just to throw my two cents in there: When Nomura pitched the idea for Versus to Yoichi Wada, then-CEO of SE, he was given full access to an almost unlimited reservoir of resources on the condition that Nomura treat Versus as a side-project while balancing it with numerous other obligations (the...

Erm, no. Square didn't begin its grand scale global marketing campaign until the PS2-era FFs were released. Because of this, it isn't accurate to claim that Square was designing its games for global, multicultural appeal during the 90's. What is true, however, is that SE is presently making a...

Gee, friend, I don't know what to tell you... If you feel that strongly that the latest trends in mainstream FF and KH aren't your cup of tea anymore, maybe it's time to look at other JRPGs? We can keep going back and forth about SE's business practices until the cows come home, but that's not...

I don’t think Mystic Quest falls into that category. It sold poorly and received reviews to match. Yes, it had potential as you've claimed, but the same could be said of many failed games. In a case like this where everything comes down to the final released product, unrealized potential is the...

Characters that do not attack do not receive AP. Make sure everyone attacks if you want them all to receive points.

I think there are a lot of fans that yearn for FF to go back to the way it was during it's prime, but that prime in of itself is subjective. The series has always been evolving and branching out into media outside the mainstream games. Nostalgia just blinds some of us to that fact. Before World...

To this day, I keep Jihl alive in both spirited debate and occasional silent prayer (that this never happens again to another character, that is). I believe the whole purpose of Jihl's character was to give us a well-advertised powerful villain that could easily be cut down in an instant...

Lol, I don't think anyone would consider Seymour's hair indicative of a "more natural world" in terms of the types of hair colors and styles we perceive as natural in our world. Speaking of FFX however, what is fun to note about Tidus's hair is that it was originally supposed to be black, but...

That's not necessarily true. If they're making such a big deal over prioritizing the traditional JRPG--or "heavy" JRPG--then we can infer that regardless of how FFXV sells, JRPGs will be making some sort of comeback. FFs have always been evolving in terms of their combat system, and if FFXV were...

It's actually not a glitch. These particular phrases were added to the International version of FFX-2, which was a Japanese-exclusive release. I suppose they didn't bother to alter the files for the Remaster.

Congratulations! The rest is a cakewalk. Now you never have to worry about Sphere Grid grinding again.

Could you please clarify what the definition of a "heavy JRPG" is when compared to a game that's classified as a JRPG without an attributive adjective?

You can do this! Good luck! Hope you have Rikku on hand in case anything too terrible should happen lol.

Indeed, kill the arms at all cost. Just take it nice and slow. The key to beating Penance is patience and sticking to the plan. So long as the arms are dead, you should be okay.

Nice! Sounds like you're doing a great job. You're just breezing through this game lol. You'll get your Plat long before I do. Only reason we attempted the Excalibur quest is because my friend was moving away and we wanted to share one last great memory playing the game we both loved. If not...

These types of unrealistic hair colors are not unique to the Final Fantasy games. Indeed, they are prevalent in anime as well. While this is not always the case (there will of course be exceptions), most of the time these extravagant hues are symbolic of a character's personality and fate. I...

You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say that lol. I know so few people who have actually taken the time to backtrack. And yeah, that whole marriage part tickles me pink. I don't know who's a bigger gossip: Shelinda or Tromell? For news of the wedding to reach Besaid that fast goes...

That's pretty awesome. Which category did you intend for that banner to represent? Looks good for Machinist. My buddy loves playing as Quarians, too, though he prefers the Quarian Male Infiltrator. Lol, this is a true story: three of us were playing Platinum late one night, and just to be a...

That's great! Speaking of experiencing all that the game has to offer, have you doubled back to places like the Highroad, Besaid, and Kilika before getting the airship? You have the opportunity to do so several times without interference from the Guado. I think it's rewarding to do so because...

You mean the Excalibur II quest? Lol, my friend and I tried to do that once. We failed horribly. If that were a trophy, it'd be the ultimate SE troll. I don't think it'd be possible on the PS3, though, because you need to eject the disc in order to stop the timer during FMVs.
