From what I've read, the Crystarium level goes up by 1 after certain bosses, which boosts the maximum rank of each character's roles.

Found a vid of the system in use, on a side note though, what the HELL is with Snow's portrait, I can't put my finger on it but something is just... weird about it O.o

Yo so I saw this for sale at a game store in town. Full Japanese version going for $120 AUD and people were buying it in fucking DROVES. Like, not just 'oh cool it's in stock' people were like CREAMING THEMSELVES to buy/play a very overpriced game completely in Japanese that I am betting 80% of them won't even understand.

It's just like, jesus, people. why??

man, people are so dumb. like when ff13 came out in japan, there were people watching some stupid live stream of some dude playing through the game for like 10-20 hours straight and that's just really sad.

You are asking why, but you just explained it right there.

It doesn't have to be any sort of worthwhile game, people don't buy it for the experience of actually playing the game. They buy it just for the experience of buying the game. To put it simply: they have to all go in at the same time and buy it in droves right at that moment or else it wouldn't be something they all wanted in the first place.

I know that doesn't make any sense, but I've abandoned trying to explain Final Fantasy in any sort of rational or sensible manner ages ago.

this game looks more linear than super mario bros. Just, y'know with a worse story.

massy I love how you act as if you have been on here for like 8 years.


ff13 looks okay. ff12 was so terrible, though. hopefully this one won't disappoint so much.
How was XII terrible?  The story was pretty shit, but the gameplay was top notch as soon as you started getting gambits to build some pretty beastly AI.

The arguments for 13 will most likely follow the same route when it releases for people to play outside of Japan.

Lol! Just saying man. No need to start arguing about FF12 here in the FF13 thread! Make a new FF12 thread if we're gonna argue about it. (I liked it tho, I'm not to THRILLED with it, but it's still a good game)

yeah I was 11 when I played FF12 I used to think it was awesome just because it was a final fantasy game but not anymore.
But when  I play it nowadays I find the gameplay really good but the story and characters are really lacking (except Balthier because his cool).The feel of the world was great though and it was fun to just go out and explore the world.

too bad ff13 isn't like that.

EDIT:Said 9 looks like I counted wrong I was 11.

Hundley and Chef
i think you both have valid points and judging from your thoughts regarding to that game i should get it at some point. romancing saga sounds like a story-oriented jrpg - version of ROGUELIKE game to me! i kind of get what hundley mean, i guess i sort of touched the same phenomena at the Ragnar's topic. http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=46821 also chef you...you should have responded in that topic...

also yes BoF4 is a really odd, fragmented experience as an entirity and it does have lot of meaningless mini-games. i don't know, it's really BLAND/meaningless and the minimalism in everything sort of punctuates the effect.
