My Rant:
...is quite possibly one of the worst Final Fantasy games I have ever played. Seriously. This game has worse end game than fucking FFXI. I've been playing it now for the last five hours. Simply put, I don't think I can stand this game any fucking more. First off, this random treasure bullshit is fucktardedly stupid. I spent the last hour trying to get the Excalibur (a "guaranteed" treasure) only to get 1 gil. 1.fucking.gil. I want to rip out my hair.
The zones are retardedly high level and boring as hell. It generally involves the same mob and 84648287489234874387 monsters of the same type that use the same fucking status affect on you over and over and over. I spent a couple hours in Nabudis for what? Not a fucking thing. 3 White Fangs and 2 Red Fangs. Wow, pathetic.
Hate management in this game is also pretty fucking sad. There is no provoke of any sort, only a half-shit spell that doesn't even work 50% of the time, and even then it's not guaranteed. In one hour I wasted 20 phoenix downs on Penelo and only Penelo.
The story in this is pathetically sub-par. There are a few catchy things that will draw your interest, but aside from that, the story is a bit bland. Maybe I just had too long of an interval between play periods, but it's all politics, with just a little bit of magic involved (aka a nuclear weapon).
ONE THING I CAN'T STAND THE MOST is when I tell my people to attack the SAME MOB, but they continue to go to others. My gambits specifically say, "Party leader target" but that doesn't stop them from doing whatever the fuck they want to. The AI in this game is fucking stupid. EVEN MY PARTY LEADER will go astray and be retarded.
The LP system is okay, but you have to spend so many fucking points just so you can think about getting it. That or you have to spend 15 hours just to get one item. No fucking thanks.
The characters in this game are really sad. The only good character is Balthier and maybe Fran... the rest are mind-numbingly bland.
God damn, I can't believe I wasted 60 hours on this shit. One last dungeon and I'm done with this garbage for ever. Don't waste your money on this crap folks.
End Rant
Seriously though... is there anything I can do to help me from throwing my playstation controller at the television? I have already thrown it twice, and three times I've had to shut it off in total frustration and disdain. HELP ME BG IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN SAVE THIS GAME? I *refuse* to sit there and level for hours upon end, I do that enough in FFXI and I will NOT do that in a single player game, ever. Please, please help me. ; ;
*POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING*
I am currently at the end of the game, so I've played through all of it almost. All I have to do is take the Strahl to the Bahamut and that's it, I'm done. (Right? God I hope so)
