Best/worst ending in history of games

Quote from Urban

am i the only one here that hasent played those damn FF games?i have no urge to play them... and will probably never play them.. i feel like the minority here or something

same, I tried a demo of some ff game once and didnt like what I saw so I havent bothered trying it again

I just wasnt very excited about the combat stuff. I mean I love turnbased stuff for the most part, but I just found it kinda boring in FF. I donno, its been ages since I tried it so I might go back and check some of it again.

u gotza play ff7

i played ff7 for like afew hours then the random attacks drove me insane so i quit and flung the disks in a draw D=

All the demos of FF I've played sucked great big donkey dick. One had the intro for FF7, that is an intro that was nothing like the actual game because it got changed for sucking; the other was just the Battle Arena mini-game that crippled your character after each fight to increase the difficulty. The Battle Arena required a lot of preplanning and knowledge about the game so throwing someone new to the game with random equipment into the fray was most certainly not a good idea.

Although after FF7 they certainly did become more lenient and you didn't have to flinch to get into one, if you hate random battles then you're not going to like FF because it is, after all, either battles, talking to people or watching amazing FMV. With a proper plot and everything! I would recommend Chrono Trigger via emulator if you find Final Fantasys random battle system tedious, might ease you into things. Just don't, whatever you do, start with FF9 or FFX-2.

Edit: The upcoming FF12 has a different battle system, enemies to randomly appear but there is no change to the 'battle engine' fights are also a lot more strategic and operate more like FFT. Of course there's also a woman with Bunny Ears, which was cute on the gamebody but looks really fucking strange on a 3d model and a cool looking guy with a rifle who spoils everything by wearing tacky plastic coloured rings and thousands of braclets. Ho-hum.

i gotta say i had the EXACT same experience with ff7

i got a free cd that included the first part just like what you're talking about, i think it was a demo cd or something from ps underground....in fact im pretty sure i still have it around here somewhere

but yea i hated the demo and i was like "wow how could people call this game good". i have to admit though, it gets very, VERY good....im about 2/3 of the way done at this point and i can say its pretty much one of the best games ive ever played....maybe besides shenmue, but only because shenmue was also pretty

just go play it, after the reactor part it gets good

*edit: also i started with FF9....it was ok....but....bleh...stopped playing after a while, i got to a point where i couldnt level and couldnt beat the current boss

The Dark Aeons in FFX > Weapons. And I am prepared to hold down shift and . to stress that point.

FF9 isn't a bad game really, but it's very... flamboyant (gay) and starts off very tediously. I hated it the first time through, gave up without defeating the final boss on account that I just couldn't be arsed anymore. However, going back to FF9 I found it a lot more enjoyable. I guess it was mainly because I had put up with 40+ hours of stupid characters already and was immune on the second play.

Uber FF9 Spoilers: You'd think they couldn've at least hinted at the final bosses existence once in the entire game, no? I would say they panicked and didn't know what to put in the 3rd slot of the obligatory 3-stage final battle sequence, but then the 1st stage was pulled out of there arse too!

So I’ve chased after this protagonist for half the motherfucking game and when I catch up I suddenly find two omniscient beings with the exact same nihilistic goal. Well that certainly was lucky, folks, because if we hadn’t chased that fruitily dressed Sephiroth clone all the way up here we never would’ve known of their existence, let alone their devious plot to wipe out the entire motherfucking universe.

And you know the characters are fucked up when the central characters tail is a plot element signifying he’s from another goddamn planet but you don’t take the blind bit of notice because every single person who joins up is a deranged misfit.

I get the feeling you haven't fought the Dark Aeons. Even with 255 accuracy I have trouble hitting Anima without Aim, Luck and Jinx all about the place (even then I cross my fingers).

And even if it was just a matter of getting the best equipment (and it most certainly is not, redoing the entire sphere grid is nearer the mark), getting the best equipment in FFX is a colossal task; 3 lots of 99 Dark Matter for Ribbon? Tar, but no Tar. You easily could've constructed a kill-all materia setup in the time it takes.

im on disc 2 in ff7 right before you fight hojo....i finally decided to go to wutai and do the yuffie side story....which i just finished.

i gotta go back and get magic hammer from the little weed things in wutai though before i go on

that reminds me, where do i get ribbons?

did you just....bash...indiana jones....i dont understand, has the world just exploded?

wow urby, you're sad

even if you had seen indy n didnt like it then it would be bad, but not wanting to see it at all is just pathedic

i pity u

So you're looking for difficulty and so you use the one-hit kill Aeon and cross your fingers to win your battles? Makes sense. And by the way: Odin.

And Yojimbo doesn't work on Penace (not that you'd want to instantly kill Penace, you have to spend the battle plundering his assistants items).

There's a degree of skill need to beat the games ultimate bosses (who are there only to test your mettle so why you cheated past them is beyond me). Your arguement that do beat them you just need to wear decent stuff is extremely flawed, decent stuff is needed to stand toe-to-toe and the best stuff (+ribbon) nobody is going to get without beating them.
