Best/worst ending in history of games

[Guest John Kerry]

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

Resident Evil 2 ending is really stupid as well. But the RE3's one is pretty nice.

Nothing stupid about it really, although I do hope you've seen the expanded Scenario B ending.

No I havent seen this one. But the default is very stupid, its just leon/claire jumping into the train - explosions - and then one of them says: Its over... VERY NICE ENDING BLEH

But RE 3's one was really cool, makes more sense and has more drama

Its worthy seeing after hours of game at least

OMG, lol. Never play a Final Fantasy demo!

If you do want to see what the fuss is all about I suggest you start with FF7, even though its graphics are a bit outdated. Doesn't bother me one bit, though.

I think it's a shame that some won't even try it. It's like you've never seen the legendary movies like Star Wars or Indiana Jones or played HL...

[Mazy]

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.

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

[GrayFox]

Great to hear that duffy. Exactly where in the game are you at the moment?

The difficulty in the FF games is becoming much easier as the serie progresses. FF9 was too easy for me and X and X-2 were child's play.

No challenge after the WEAPONS in FF7...

[Taylor]

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.

[GrayFox]

The Dark Aeons are a piece of cake if you have the right equipment. The WEAPONS are hard even though you had Knights of the Round and Omnislash.

***SPOILER WARNING (FF8-FF10)***

I don't like the way Square has presented the final boss in FF8-FFX. In FF8 you met Ultimecia for the first time about 1 minute before you fought her. In FF9 you never even heard of the thing that they just pulled out of somewhere. In FFX the case was pretty much the same as in FF8.

[Taylor]

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.
