@Zenaxzd: Considering you walk around town as a very awkwardly dressed Vaan, I always considered him the main character. Him and that girl (believe her name started with a P) made me dislike that game. I never been the final boss though, I remember needing some specific magic spell and I just lost interest. Balthier and Ashe were awesome though.
Ah, nah it's been said a million times Vaan was basically there as an empty vessel for the player to take control of, Ashe was the main character as far as anything meaningful was concerned (I mean the entire plot revolves around her and her actions).
Final Fantasy has often had a problem defining who the main character is. I mean, when you get right down to it, Final Fantasy X is Yuna's story, but Tidus is treated as the main character.
We, as consumers, have the right to bitch and complain if we want about the things that really get us going. I have always hated the thought that "hey it's your fault for buying or playing it, so just shut up and take it." I think that is a terrible way to think about things. All of us have a right to speak freely on the subjects that we feel strongly about so I think that your opinion is completely justified only because like many of us who are here you feel so invested in this series that you want to love everything about it, but, you feel like you can't because of the way the series has been treated by the publisher or developer.
No, sorry, you don't. If you bought say Bioshock, loved the hell out of it, and then you bought Bioshock 2. You have a right to get upset that Bioshock 2 was vastly inferior to the first game. By the same logic, if you bought Final Fantasy VII, loved the hell out of it, and then you bought Final Fantasy VIII. You have a right to get upset that VIII was not as good as VII. However, after a certain point, you really cannot keep complaining about how the game series hasn't been good since <insert number here> if you keep buying each new game that comes out. Especially in the OPs case where they are doing it to see if the new game can recapture the magic of the first Final Fantasy they played.
Here is a crazy idea: STOP PLAYING THE FUCKEN FINAL FANTASY GAMES!!! I am so sick and tired of people who keep playing these games, and then bitching about how the series hasn't been good since Final Fantasy <insert number here>.
The most annoying thing I found in the iPod version was when you needed to scroll down to select a tech/item in battle. It just didn't feel responsive enough to me.
It would be awesome if Vinny just posted a video of himself staring at a wall for an hour. No music, no talking, just staring. I wonder if people would still say it was the BEST THING EVAR!!! just because it has Vinny in it? All joking aside, I think everyone on this website is great but I will admit I don't watch a lot of videos here so I don't get a lot of everyone.
I'm really mad that I didn't really know what I was doing when I played through P3P, as it was my first Persona game. I didn't really go after characters and Social Links that would have been better. I'd have to say that Junpei was my favorite character because I got to watch him mature and become more of a man as the game went on. NPC-wise, I really liked Chihiro and was really happy to see her return in P4 as a more confident person. One thing that really bums me out is that I want to play FES mainly for the story content, but since I played P3 on the PSP, I can't carry any social links over to The Answer (preventing me from seeing any of the cool story extras). Is it still worth it to play through The Answer without any social links carrying over?
I'm fairly certain that nothing in The Journey carries over to The Answer. You get the same experience out of The Answer irregardless of whether or not you have first completed The Journey.
Oh come on! It's been five years, can we just get over the fact the Wii wasn't designed for the "hardcore gamer" and move on?! It introduced so many people to gaming who would have never even picked up a controller otherwise. The Wii was so popular, Sony and Microsoft made their own motion controls just to be more like it. The Wii did not fail simply because it didn't do exactly what you wanted.
Honesty is the best policy. Trying to cover this up and fix it yourself is only going to cause problems. Just tell your parents what happened, and see if they can return their copies.
