What do you think about Final Fantasy?

MissMisa don't worry, as a 3D designer or graphics/concept artist, you don't need to make games. Your job is more or less visual art, which often do not require you to have made games before. You just need to have a creative mind and skills

So, let's get back on topic shall we?

I just listened to the soundtrack from Crystal Chronicles. It's a beautiful soundtrack.

Okay, I agree that the games are basically remakes and they can't think about what new to create... But, if you kept a famous series like FF running do you think you'd be able to create better storylines and gameplay over and over? It gets hard so they add a little twist to it to make it different just let it be... But, the game play is still fun and the games still have okay story lines, or at least that's my opinion...

I guess that's where I think Square-Enix are a bit... I don't know... cowards? It's the job of their designers to create the good games with the new, interesting storylines, etc. and if they can't do it, maybe they should giv ethe job to someone else?

As we all can see, the games in the main series seem to improve. Final Fantasy X steered away from common levelling and introduced CTB, Sphere Grid, switching mid-battle etc. and FFXII allowed even more free-roaming during battles, etc. Unfortunately, the music score is debatable, and the story is relatively bland (as are the characters). But FFXIII looks very promising.

The tihng that bugs me is that they have these other teams working on other FF games when they really should be making other games. A company should always try to make games to earn money, and Square-Enix has Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts as sure-fire ways of selling. Why not just try to make something different? That's what bothers me. And these spin-offs, they don't hold the same quality as the standard FF games.

I think it's just me growing out of the games I used to like. I don't fancy Resident Evil anymore, and not that interested in Devil May Cry so much, or Zelda for that matter. I'm loking for new experiences.

I think all final fantasy games are awesome and should be considered on of the best RPG game series of all time

Can't wait to see how Square Enix and Disney fxks with us this time in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep.

I would personally like a direct follow up to FF7 though...

A lot people do consider it as the best RPG series.

I like it myself, although, I didn't play too much of it. The last one I played was FFXII, and that was a pretty awesome game except for a few aspects. The new battle system was the best part. But for once, I can't wait for a FF game, and that's FFXIII, hahaha, especially since I just got a PS3.

Haha I can't wait for FFXIII either! I'll still have to get a PS3 though....but everything about the game(s) make me so excited I didn't really like FFXII, I think it was the battle system or just the characters..but I did beat it.
FFIX and X are my favorites, IX because it was my first FF and X because it's just plain awesome

Final Fantasy for me its first, the dream. I start Final Fantasy I to VI after playing VII and I noticed something: the VII marks the end off odd stories and the Final Fantasy now would mean something, why I say that? Because Final Fantasy VII for me is the first special episode to give importance to the chronology of events before the beginning of the game (Crisis Core)...All episode gave a lot of importance to the character but not always to the univers (Midgar,the school in the VIII,etc..) that’s why I said the FF is a dream, I never find another video game who made me dream like this I remember that I used to wake up At 3 am to say: Damn I have to move in the game.. .
