FF8 was still the best, though.

[Krustabi]

I only got as far as the last fight on Disc two (Seifer and Edea) of FF8.

What happened next?

[Mr D]

It got worse, becoming the shittiest in the series.

Ahem. Sorry.

The best Sony thing to use at the moment is the news that they've overexpanded - if it wasn't for revenue from their film wing (which is unreliable at best) they'd be practically bust!

[Bico]

'It got worse, becoming the shittiest in the series.'

Oh dear.  It's started already, has it, Dribs?  The studenty delusion that knocking a work of genius somehow makes you 'cool' (as you crazy kids call it nowadays).  Well it's NOT cool.  Smoking's not cool and neither is throwing your life away on nothing.  Tell me - what are you rebelling against, huh?

(etc...)

[Mr D]

Hehehe.
 
  No, seriously, FF8 was just boring and stupid. Nine was pretty fun, ten was good but linear and seven WAS a work of genius.

[Bico]

Deluded.  That's all I can say about that statement.
FF8 was wrapped up neatly by the time it ended (took about an hour for it to finish, if I recall correctly), whilst the rest offer no finality for all the bloody hours you've just put in - that's why FF7 can get away with a sequel movie, because of how ambiguous the ending was (and why FFX could have a sequel game, depressing, linear heap that it was).
I'll grant you the battle system was poor in comparison to the others, but the world was more interesting, and the story more compelling, than any of the other games.

Apart from that, I can only offer this: to each their own.

[Mr D]

Many times I've reached this point with FFX or VIII fans. I think you have the right idea - agree to disagree. I'll just say that the plot of FF7 ended perfectly well, the sequel being a little forced story-wise. Not to say it won't be a hell of a ride. I didn't enjoy 8 because I didn't connect with any of the characvters, the battle system was a HUGE step down from the wonderful materia system, and the  plot was crummy. Especially the 'twist' where they ALL grew up together!!

WTF mate?

Anyhoo, yes... Agree to disagree

[Krustabi]

Uh, hello? I asked for the plot, not your opinions. WHAT HAPPENED. And mini-Squall was cool.

[Bico]

Oh god, Krusti... life's too short to explain a Final Fantasy plot in every detail, even in condensed form.  Read the walkthrough on gamefaqs.com if you want it explained in possibly more detail than is healthy.

Dribs - can we at least agree that Final Fantasy Tactics was complete shit?

[Mr D]

Yep, on that we agree.

Krusty - Time compression, twatting about, Ultimicia...

The heroes win, Squall doesn't die. None of the goodies do in fact.

[The Monarch]

Deluded...absolutely deluded

while ff7 is a great game in its own right ff6 is the greatest ff game

[Krustabi]

What was the Lunatic Pandora?

[Tanky]

Another big flying building

[Bico]

A big, shiny monolith-type thingy that you had to attack with your flying houseboat shaped like a lion.
I liked FF8 because of its realism.
