ps you're the idiot who said FINAL FANTASY DISLIKE = I DONT WANNA LOOK UNCOOL, and Final Fantasy is based on plot so yeah disliking some incredibly shitty plots is a valid complaint.

also: the matrix is rated over citizen kane on IMDB's user reviews.

Apparently they haven't learned from their last attempt, Ehrgeiz.

At least Cloud actually looked like Cloud back then

And Smash Bros. (the original) was pretty cool because they were actually devoted to making the characters look like the original or at least the most recent one (N64 Link etc.) I haven't looked at the newer ones too much but it looked like they found a way to ruin it

also I just want to say this to the new Final Fantasy game designer: we know you're gay already lol, I don't know what it's like in Japan but like even little old ladies named Ethel are like "oh he's one of those gays isn't he" please just fucking come out already because you've made it ridiculously obvious to everyone on the face of the earth and then you can actually go out with some Japanese dude instead of drawing gameporn (although Kuja is the worst and I'm hoping that's a joke in some weird way)

this is also addressed to the guy who did designs for the Castlevania fighting game unless you're both the same guy anime makes it so hard to tell whether 1 guy designed everything singlehandedly or 10000 different people seriously it's so conformist

also I sort of detract this if the Japanese game industry is actually really liberal and cool and allows gays/lesbians to get a job (or just has a don't ask don't tell opinion on it) while lots of other employers in Japan are very bigoted on the subject. Really looking at it that's the only way you could explain 99% of video game designs (most fighting games for example)

no its an anime cultural thing called bishounen ("beautiful boy") and is designed to appeal to younger women. basically it restructures male leads as feminine. this would seem forward thinking except it's just about as corporate and money grubbing as anything else, and the most bishounen characters are typically the villains in the series.

man you can be straight and design those characters

or was it some woman who did the designs

i...said nothing about the sexuality of the artists? i'm not sure it's ever an issue, bishounen is a sales tactic like anything else. so is YAOI. these aren't gay rights movements, its them catering to japanese women who find it erotic/aesthetically pleasing.

there's a reason any anime with a gay character focuses exclusively on how they have basically the same exact relationship as "young girl meets dashing man" and rarely deal with ostracization, ACTUAL conflicting feelings beyond "does...rikimaru like me like I like him?" or gender dysphoria or anything.

sorry to bust in on yah steel, but I've watched a lot of anime *flicks shades up* and it's not the exact same as stright relationships. Most homosexual relationships in anime are based around rape, prostitution and preteen boys.

femnale relationships have less rape and prostitution but perhaps more preteens.

Or it's the obscenely muscular gay guy who no one else in the game likes to be around and never has a partner at all.

And it's not like I am saying this is a good game or not, but nevertheless this is a game based on gameplay like Brawl is and not on story like "ANY" rpg is supposed to be. And just so you know this game IS NOT a rpg.

And going by the people in this topic that have played it, the gameplay is shit.  That means this game is shit, with shitty characters on the side.

You always let 2 or 3 people tell you what a good or bad game is?

Velfarre, you shouldn't listen to only a few people when they don't like the game.

usually if two or three people unanimously tell me a game is terrible i won't bother playing it.

hahah w00ted a bit at how dumb this was.

Yeah okay... well said, Steel.

Well let's see, I can either trust the two or three people who have PLAYED the game or I could trust all the FF fanboys here that haven't played it at all but are trying to convince me it's great.


HMMMMMMM.

Maybe you should try it yourself or wait for more opinions before making assumptions? Just saying...

Liman have you ever cut your own dick off? Don't knock it till you try it.

You say this like opinions can't change.


If I ever did play this (no interest in doing so but maybe if there was a demo in walmart or gamestop or some shit I'd try it JUST FOR YOU) and it turned out to be the best game of my life, I'd be willing to admit it.  As far as what I know right now, it looks like absolute shit, the people who have played it says it is absolute shit, and the only people saying otherwise seem to only want it because it's Final Fantasy.  Now, what conclusion am I supposed to come to here?
