:They did WHA?! I mean, I'm not a big fan of Amano's style, but those were the
:best characters ever. Most of them, anyway. Well, I'm looking forward to it
:regardless. Anthology was such a disappointment and my friend lost my SNES
:copy.
Yup. Look at the CG renders for the FMV sequences... Typical Nomura. Poor Refia even LOOKS like Rinoa, which makes her... What... The 47th Tifa clone, now? At least the Gameboy versions of 1-2, 4-6 keep Amano where he should be. I mean... I'm not a big fan of Toriyama, myself (DBZ had something to do with that. :p), but could you imagine Dragon Warrior/Quest WITHOUT Toriyama?! Chrono Trigger withou- Oh, wait. They did that already. And it sucked. Like him or not, Final Fantasy without Amano isn't Final Fantasy... ... Well, at least, FMV aside, everyone in 3 is going to be SD all the time and the airships LOOK like airships again. Plus, it's true 3D, no more pre-rendered backgrounds! ^^ So... I guess it'll be okay... ^^;;;
:Another person who hasn't played FF7 here. Husband has it on PC, but again, I
:want a controller and a TV. I tried to play it on PC once and didn't get past the
:first town.
I have a PC controller! ^^ Well... When I originally bought the game, I had an SNES style pad that I loved to death! Until it broke... And all I could replace it with was a Playstation style pad... I wish they still sold SNES pads...
:Don't play cRPGs anymore, unless they have a journaling system, like
:Neverwinter Nights (which I'm still playing).
Well... You probably need to distinguish between American PC RPGs and Japanese Console RPGs which really are two different creatures... As such, the last PC RPG I played and finished was Pool of Radiance which I reinstalled a few years ago and bumbled through with the help of a FAQ. I was shocked to actually find my way to the final battle and victory! XD More recently, I attempted to finish the NES port of the classic PC RPG, Ultima III, which I've never beaten in all the years I've owned it. I guess I should play another one, one of these days... But I've noticed that I never really play PC games anymore because this thing called the Internet lures me away for months at a time.
Console RPGs... Most recent games... Skies of Arcadia, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, FF1 (GBA Version), Riviera: The Promised Land, and of course... Super Robot Wars 4, F, F Final, and now Original Generation.
:I also despise that they call them "role playing games," since they're not role
:playing games. They've distorted the definition of "RPG."
Yes, yes, I seem to recall a rather "spirited" "discussion" of those symantics a while back. XD
