    Few thoughts on the game.

    I found the materia system to be enjoyable and refreshing for the first couple of hours of FFVII, but in the long run it broke the game. After developing enough materia early in the game just became, especially after getting tons of summon materia. At that point everyone in the party essentially...

    Mark Hammil for Kefka!

    Blackadder Laurie or House Laurie?

    Dissidia : Final Fantasy story mode video

    The player is fighting Garland, I don't understand what is so complicated about that. That aside, I am a little dissapointed in the gameplay, which makes the dissidia look a tad boring as the fights seem to end in seconds and most of the playtime was spent on the gameboard.

    Fixing Square's RPG Machine

    I'll have to disagree with IGN when they say that the west has built off of the sucesses of Square Enix, in reality American Computer RPGs have always been leagues ahead of Japanese Console RPGs in most areas. I mean the same years JRPGs were in their peak was also the years that Fallout...

    Final Fantasy..Which is the Least challenging?

    You can go through the entirety of FVIII without ever leveling up, only fighting the boss battles and running from all non-boss fights. The result is that all boss battles take place on a ridiculously low levels where the boss doesn’t have all the special abilities it would have had if it was at...

    Dissidia Ex-Burst Scans.

    "Exdeath transforms into his tree form" I sometimes forget how awful of a villain Exdeath was until I reminded that he was really a tree. I am truly baffled at the notion of a giant rooted tree entering a fast paced fighting game, which only worked in FFV because battles weren’t animated. "I...

    Square Enix Declares Console Exclusivity Is Dead.

    I'm sure some of the old school fans (myself included) are pleased we don't have to buy a PS3. Some of the more bitter old fans probably relish sony fans getting their perceived comeuppance, which is indeed hollow considering PS3 owners can still pick up FFXIII when it releases while Wii owners...

    Dissidia Ex-Burst Scans.

    The screenshot of Terra's face makes her look a bit like young Madonna. I'm a bit confused as to what Sephiroth's Ex-form is, since the screenshot just shows a close up of him holding his sword.

    Kingdom Hearts Big News Update (Images, Video etc)

    It seems the Kingdom Hearts are becoming less and less Disney/Final Fantasy Crossovers and more of an excuse for Nomura to put his dumb 'original' characters on screen.

    Another Dissidia Trailer

    According to the youtubies, you can see Terra at 4:44, so I guess she's in; I just hope Nomura has done her justice.

    Ultimecia, worst FF villain ever?

    Exdeath may have been a Snidely Whiplash villian and his biggest plot twist was the revelation that he was... an evil tree, but at least he was a constant adversary and posed an ever-present threat to the protagonist. Ultimecia only has several beautiful musical themes going for her. She only...

    Worst Final Fantasy Game

    FFVIII for a number of reasons including a broken leveling system, tedious micro management, the equally tedious draw system, a convoluted plot, the non-developed or explained Ultimecia, the J-pop main theme, and a self centered jerk for a protagonist who has no justifiable reason for being that...

    You Spoony Bard!

    You have no soul. Your comment just melted babies. Babies! By the by, Spoony = stupid and Bard = Edward, Tellah is calling Edward Stupid. Not the most appropriate response to finding your daughter dead, but then again Tellah is old and confused.

    What impact did FF7 have on you the first time you played?

    To paraphrase myself "These Graphics are awesome!.. wait why did everyone turn into legos, how is Wedge still alive (back then I rather naively thought VII and VI [then III] existed in the same timeline/universe), what happend in IV, V, and VI?" (again my naivety, in fact I had already played VI)

    Which Final Fantasy 7 was the best installment

    What is the point of asking a question if we can't choose the correct answer? Imagine if in School they asked you what 2 + 2 was but only let you answer 5, 10, or 72. (by the Way 5 is Crisis Core, Close but still wrong)

    Lucrecia Immune to Degredation?

    I just chalked it up to the fact that the more spinoffs Square churns out the more plot holes it creates.

    Most famous FF character?

    The obvious answer is Cloud and Sephiroth but I'm also going to say that Kefka is a distant third. The reason: any debate about final fantasy eventually becomes a Sephiroth vs Kefka flame war.

    IGN Top 25 FF Characters

    The Major problem I had with the list, besides the obvious FFVII bias, is the amateurish, brusk, and poorly worded descriptions given for each choice. I mean even our posts would pass as better summaries.

    Getting Sick of Me Yet?

    Gilgamesh because he keeps reappearing in other FF games.

    Final Fantasy X - The last 'Final Fantasy' ???

    I think a big reason that XII feels different from the rest of the series is that many of the people who worked on earlier FF titles have left to do their own things (Nomura, Uematsu) which means many new people have been altering the core of Final Fantasy to meet their own vision. The same...
