You say this like opinions can't change.
Uh, I think I was pretty much saying that "play it and your opinion COULD change." Not sure how you assumed the other way.
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?
Of course people are interested in it if they are a fans of the franchise. Just because its main attraction is "
Final Fantasy characters fighting each other" and the majority who buys it are fans doesn't mean it's a bad game, and the only way to like it is to be a fan. By that logic all games (especially sequels) must be bad because only fans would buy it again.
I for one don't care at all if you intend to play it or not. I just think it's pretty strange to dislike a game so much without even playing it. You mention that the guys you listen to said it's shit and therefore it must be true. But you also keep saying that anyone who likes it "must be a fan and likes it for that reason" and therefore seem to think that his/hers opinion is invalid. You seem to accept the negative guys opinions because that's how you view the game yourself and totally reject any positive comments on the arguments I mentioned above. I might be wrong about that statement, but that's how it sounds.
Disliking the concept is fine by me though.
Anywho, I'm out. Stupid or not, opinions are opinions after all...
