To be fair, his pope was only slightly more dead than our pope.

And would anybody really be surprised if it turned out that our pope was unsent?

Actually I'm fairly certain they do age: [spoiler]Auron died like 10+ years before Tidus came to town, and if you compare how he looked back then (during those memory bits at the ruined blitzball stadium-turned-holy-ground) to how he looks in the game proper he's obviously aged. There's probably a limit to it, though - Mika died of old age, yet at the trial he still just looks old, as opposed to absolutely ancient. Then again, they never specify when exactly he died, so maybe he just died like right before the game proper started.[/spoiler]

Come to think of it, every person who seems the least bit elder is an unsent in that game.  Yeah, even that fucking guy.

Probably because Sin (or various fiends) kills basically everyone in the entire world, eventually. None of the characters have living parents, although there are some old people here and there.

I tried to play through some of FF10 today, actually.

As God is my witness, i will never play another Final Fantasy game again.

Are you kidding?  Do you know how many times I was tempted to play FFX, but go crosseyed during the title screen so it looks like XII and I can say I beat that game?

If you want the best RPG ever, play 6.
If you want a long mellow drama anime, play 7.
If you want Laguna and the 2nd worse battle system in FF, play 8
If you want Jecte and HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! play 10.
If you want to play 12, do yourself a favor and play .hack//IMOQ instead, as 12 sucks.

Classic, to elevate yourself in a barbaric society you have to attack those lower in standing than you, not higher.

10 plays better than 12 (IT WOULD ABOUT HAVE TO !@&$) but it is so insufferable in every other way that i can't handle it. The designs make me want to throw up -- not just the characters, which... jesus christ, but even the menus, the design principle of which was evidently "try to use every single color at least once." Blitzball... why the hell is Wakka's usefulness as a character tied to the worst, most time-consuming, most random, most skill-less minigame in FF history? "Maester?" "Fayth?" Was there seriously a time when i could put up with this kind of game without my eyes rolling clean out of my head??

There was a word i couldn't think of when i was playing through 12 to describe my grievances with the series as a whole, but i just realized it -- "decadent." The whole series (at least of late, but i am willing to admit that this may be true of every game in the series ever!) is honestly the queerest, more overdramatic tweeny horseshit that i can't imagine i ever played willingly. I can't tell if it's pandering or if SE is hiring people straight off Deviantart but one way or another 10 and 12 are so self-indulgent as to defy description.

It doesn't help that i keep reading about the international versions and wishing i could at least be playing those instead.

I can't help but respect 10 at least a little for so blatantly admitting they ran out of ideas and didn't care.

I'm an obsessive grindwhore, albeit less so nowadays, and so the more recent Final Fantasy games, and even stuff like the Nippon Ichi games entertain me because I can completely break the combat system.

I mean, come on, if you can hack Jecht apart in three turns with Tidus hitting for OVER NINETYTHOUSAAAAAAAAAAAND damage each turn before Jecht even gets a chance to breathe, THAT'S epic.

(here, I would insert the "I HATE YOU DAD *sniffle*" video, but I'm at work, and work blocks youtube.)

I liked FF10 for Fightan Giant Monsters(awesome boss environments are awesome) and Tidus high-fiving the ghost of his dad and also FF10 has some pretty choice musical bits i.e. "To Zanarkand"

otherwise absolute trash. If anybody actually used Rikimahru I want to see you after class.

After experiencing FF12 it is hilarious to note that FF10 has a strictly ok, workable story at it's very bare bones. Any serious look at it just disappoints because the whole GOD IS ACTIVELY DESTROYING THE WORLD IN A SUIT OF ARMOR CRAFTED FROM THE SOULS OF THE DEAD WHO MAY OR MAY NOT EXIST AND CAN WILL THEMSELVES TO BE UNDEAD is pretty cool but the ultimate explanation for it is JUST BECAUSE LOL.

No really re-write FF10 as a religious/government conspiracy thriller(EDIT: STARRING JECHT AND MAKE IT A REDNECK BUDDY MOVIE PERHAPS THOSE WERE THE BEST CUTSCENES)

I also like that for all the crimes against humanity the rest of the voice cast engaged in, the guy who did Seymour seemed to really enjoy himself.

McDohl, I think you're looking for this one: "http://www-youtube-com/watch?v=PJsK2NrYyCU"? (I know that is the lamest way to get around the youTube integration sorry)

Norondor, please stop trying to confuse me into thinking you are actually completely retarded by tacking on completely insane comments to opinions that I might be able to agree with.
I AM PROUD OF MY (PRESUMABLY) ROUND EYES AND RACIST STEREOTYPES
That's actually a disconnect I've been getting pissed about as early as Ico. I guess we round eyes care more about our in-game avatars having dicks eyes whose size we can relate to than consistency in a character. <Insert rib at despised politician here.>

Tidus seriously has buck teeth in his FMV model. It is really off-putting, and not least of all because his polygonal model looks nothing like that.

If you want the best RPG ever, play 6.

Nah. FF6 actually kind of sucks these days. The music is still good, though.

As far as I can tell, honestly, the only Final Fantasy that really holds up well is FF5. Story may suck balls, sure, but it's still an honest-to-goodness blast to play.

<INCOHERENT RAGE AT DN>

Going through the PS version a few years ago was still pretty fun, and it's scenarios were still a lot of fun (if a bit by-the-book). You talking about how there's only one really viable combat strategy or some such a thing?

I wonder if I can play FF5 without mastering classes and making everyone no-job engines of destruction.
No, no I can't.  :sadpanda:
