Town look annoying to explore. I know I will spend 3 hour talking to everyone and will hate myself after for wasting so much time.

I really hope story will be good, because I could just play FFXI if I wanted a similar gameplay.

[Correction]

Not sold on the new combat system, and the new camera shifts look disorienting. Also the sheer number of menus just doesn't look very intuitive. FFTactics was less confusing.

2 more weeks to street date, still not sold on whether or not to pop down 80 bucks for it. Games take about 6 months to drop in price by about 20% in this country.

[BRP]

I don't think I'd mind a totally new FF Online, with no saved characters, if they made it like this. (same races preeze)

Isn't that what it takes to make an EXP PT these days in FFXI?

Hmmm... I had bought a Dragon Quest game or something awhile ago, and it came with a FFXII Demo. I thought that the battle system was pretty good, the battles went by relatively fast. The only thing I didn't like was that the other members of your party would act on their own (although you were still able to tell them what to do, just that if you didn't, they would do what they wanted).

As long as we're talking about famitsu's stuff, they recently polled their readers on the top 100 console games of all time (at least, according to their readership). Just thought I'd share some of the results. Some stuff is omitted since a lot of the list is games that were either never released in the united states, or that I've just never heard of. I've also translated names of games to their North America release names.

100) Resident Evil 4 (PS2)
99) Super Mario Bros. 3
98) Gradius (NES)
97) Secret of Mana
96) Tetris (Game Boy)
93) Sim City

89) Tales of Destiny 2
87) Kung Fu (NES)
84) Final Fantasy Tactics (omfg 84....)
82) Final Fight

80) Street Fighter II Turbo (SNES)
79) Tales of Destiny
76) GTA Vice City
75) Gran Turismo 4
74) Resident Evil 4 again (Gamecube)
73) Grandia

69) Super Mario Kart
68) Fire Emblem
66) Wizardry! (NES)
64) Puyo Puyo (Genesis)
63) Final Fantasy (I think all the FF games made the list somehow, with one exception)
61) Super Mario World

60) Final Fantasy II
57) Tales of Eternia
56) Resident Evil 2
53) Romancing SaGa
52) Y's 1&2
51) Pokemon Red/Green

50) Metal Gear Solid
49) Sonic the Hedgehog
47) Virtua Fighter 2 (Sega Saturn, my god that game ruled)
46) Legend of Zelda
45) Ogre Battle (SNES)
44) Tales of the Abyss
43) Animal Crossing DS
42) Metal Gear Solid 2
41) Legend of Zelda - the Wind Waker (wtf)

40) Dragon Quest V (PS2)
39) Virtua Fighter
38) Mother (precursor to Earthbound)
37) Earthbound (Mother 2 in .jp land)
35) F-Zero
34) Dragon Quest VI
33) Resident Evil
32) Final Fantasy X-2
31) Legend of Zelda - a Link to the Past

30) Dragon Quest
39) Kingdom Hearts II
28) Chrono Trigger
27) Valkyrie Profile
26) Metal Gear Solid 3
25) Final Fantasy VI (you figure out which FF game is missing yet?)
24) Final Fantasy IX
22) Final Fanasy VIII
21) Super Mario Bros.

20) Street Fighter
19) Kingdom Hearts
17) Dragon Quest II
16) Xenogears
15) Final Fantasy V
14) Dragon Quest IV
12) Far East of Eden II (who owned this game?)
11) Dragon Quest V (SNES)

10) Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time (hell yeah)
9) Dragon Quest VII
8) Final Fantasy III
7) Tactics Ogre
6) Final Fantasy IV
4) Dragon Quest VIII
3) Dragon Quest III
2) Final Fantasy VII
1) Final Fantasy X

They also made a page for games which just barely missed the list, enough to outrage any foreigners reading the magazine (pff). Included were:

Grand Theft Auto 3 (111)
Onimusha (115)
Zelda - Majora's Mask (116)
Mario Kart 64 (129)
ICO (138)
Super Mario RPG (139)
NiGHTS (148 holy mother of god)

So there you have it. Famitsu's readers don't play anything but dating sims and role playing games. Explains the abscence of any serious shooters or fighting games besides the very first ones. Also explains the general lack of any sports games or games that everyone loves, like Katamari Damacy.

They're also pretty nostalgic it seems, judging from the dominance of very, VERY old games in the top 25.

[Gilanth]

I miss nights so much T_T



Final Fantasy X is one of the weakest ones IMO too..... 6>7>8>4>10>9>5 , 11 dont counts its hardly FF really at all.

[Lordwafik]

yay @ FFX being 1st ^_^

I <3 that game

[Russta]

Secret of Mana 97?!? What a disgrace.

[aurik]

Yea wtf @ FFX being the top game, FFX sucked. I couldn't wait to be done that game when I played it through.

Compare that to my 5-6 complete plays through FFV and Chrono Trigger...

[Elcura]

I liked FFX, sure I don't think it deserved #1 but it was still good. FFXII looks awesome (not from that video though), it has so much potential I wonder how Square (yes, Square, not Enix) pull through with it.

Yay @ Valkyrie Profile, I can't wait for the game to come out on PSP and Similaria to come out soon... (ENIX GOOOO)

As for Wind Waker being #41, what did you expect? It was shit compared to OoT, even though it was a decent game.

[Lockecole]

Secret of Mana 97?!? What a disgrace.

GFT. That game was my childhood.

[Correction]

As for Wind Waker being #41, what did you expect? It was shit compared to OoT, even though it was a decent game.

I wasn't wtf'ing at it's ranking on the list, I was wtf'ing at its presence on the list. Especially since Majora's Mask didn't even make the cut.

Wind Waker DID suck, hugely. I didn't even mind the graphical presentation. It was the weak-ass recycled gameplay and the lack of anything interesting from the new bits (treasure charts were such a fkng pain to hunt down).
