Wow!
Square really does their job fast. I think they have multiple teams working on different FF series. Not only they'll get the game out fast, the ideas are all original.

*who is that? an improved version of Siren?*

hey look at the screen shot of the girl...
shes got one green eye and one blue!! thats messed!! I swear square are giving too much of the plot away (like with ff8-its the same team too making ff10).
you seen the size of the sword the hero's carrying (inthe last pic) nearly as big as cloud's!
square have been obsessed lately with heros with spiked/spikey (ish) hair, dont you think? they all look the same...

edit: hell=typos errors >50%

I'm not too fond of the new big-assed logo, it'll be tricky to fit into any kind of web design...

Come to think of it, the colors in the logo are nearly identical to the ones I used for my win98 title bars a while ago... It's a small color-space after all

Hey Guys, more about Final Fantasy X:
Battle System(s)?
Story Plots (Locations)?
Main Characters?
Weapons?
For PC?
Any great info (Anything)?

Indeed, FF10 is alike FF8!!!

Srethron Askvelhtnod · « **Reply #6 on:** 2001-01-13 23:15:00 »

NO! If this team churns out another FF8, I will almost be unable to forgive Square.

The Skillster · « **Reply #7 on:** 2001-01-14 03:12:00 »

actualy with the same characters designer and the same story man/director, more attention to expressions (like the said for ff8), this has all the ingredients for another ff8 plot flop!!

cHiBiMaRuKo · « **Reply #8 on:** 2001-01-14 10:16:00 »

Tetsuya Nomura also do FF7 and it wasn't a flop. In fact, it's one of my favourite FF title ever ( behind FF5 ). Guess we all just have to wait and see if it just another flop or not.

Srethron Askvelhtnod · « **Reply #9 on:** 2001-01-14 10:35:00 »

Indeed. Didn't he use to hold a different position in Square before FF7? Well, I guess we can always hope that Square's glory days aren't behind them...

The Skillster · « **Reply #10 on:** 2001-01-14 12:26:00 »

you know i just saw squares' release schedule on a few fan-sites, and from it i can gather that:
chances of a ff9PC this year will be slim,
'cause they have to have a simulatainios (typo!) release of FFXI - another online world, so thats coming summer 2001 so its going to be out on both pc and psx2, so they'll already be onto that as opposed to ff9pc, but then again ffX will be out in march and europe hasnt even got ff9 yet!!

Caddberry · « **Reply #11 on:** 2001-01-14 12:57:00 »

Thats smooth! And FF8 WASNT A FLOP DAMMIT! LoL i still thought the game was cool... i thought it was great.. you people just dont know!

dagsverre · « **Reply #12 on:** 2001-01-14 18:54:00 »

Caddberry: Sorry for saying this, but you sound like someone who have never played the good old SNES FF games (IV, V, VI). Am I right?

Srethron Askvelhtnod · « **Reply #13 on:** 2001-01-14 21:36:00 »

Cadberry: Maybe it wasn't a flop in terms of sales... That's really the only way I can see it avoiding the "flop" category. Square had such a good rep until FF8. If FFX is another flop, hopefully Square will finally have another flop (sales) so they learn a few lessons.

Actually No .. ur wrong.. I played FF V.. didnt beat that one.. VI VII VIII IX and beat all those.. and i played ff on the OLD Nes cant remember much though

oh and Even the old Dragon Warrior with no movement at all basically a text game with movement on the world map and in towns.. yeah ff8 had some problems but think Square has a majority of people (BUYERS) that want graphics and not story. it sucks.. yeah FF VI was a great game.. lots of time on that one.. but They probably were under lotsa pressure to release FF8 and it was crap they had never dealt with b4. technology is moving so fast that they probably have a hard time keeping up with it.. everyone does.. they are looking to make the majority happy too much. i think more so than the people that are diehards for story and plot.. yes FF8 was a little plot dead, but they had alot of loveable characters in it.. you just didnt get that attached.. not like in the others though.. i just enjoyed ff8 it was a decent change and thats why i cant just say it was crappy.. i thought it was good. and i enjoyed playing it and beating the crap out of it.. and i am sure i will do it again.

cHiBiMaRuKo · « **Reply #15 on:** 2001-01-16 09:41:00 »

Cadberry: I think you are wrong here. Most FF fans, especially in Japan, don't give a damn about graphics but care more about story, etc. There's a lot of of people buying FF VIII of course, but also there's many people who have returned their copy of FF8 because they say it's not what they wanted. FF series are successful because not only their stunning graphics, but also of kick-ass story ( which were severely lacking in FF VIII ) and good music.

Caddberry · « **Reply #16 on:** 2001-01-16 09:47:00 »

ok yeah you got a point.. However In the states where i live.. We didnt even get all the FF Series.. because square didnt think it would sell .. i guess... I played the origional on nintendo.. then forgot about it and picked it up from a friend.. but everyone else found out about it when it went mainstream with FF7 and 8 and now 9.. most people havent played many b 4 that.. unless they just pick them up and play them for fun.. So see there is a time here when square was a little company and this is before they attracted everyone with graphics.. and ... ok fine.. the sound wasnt all that.. But i dont care none the less i still like the game.. for all its faults.

StrayWings · « **Reply #17 on:** 2001-01-16 15:55:00 »

I totally agree with cHiBiMaRuKo....I like FF7 more than FF8, mainly bacause of the story line and the music...there are DAMN GOOD. While FF8 proves otherwise (not so bad though)...the movies in FF8 are cool...I wish they would make a FF7 remake using FF8 technology.

Srethron Askvelhtnod · « **Reply #18 on:** 2001-01-16 20:30:00 »

I'd say cHiBiMaRuKo hit it right on the nose. Even when Square was still a "small" company, they did have at least one popular game in the States. Chrono Trigger. I believe it even won some game of the year awards. I actually think a big part of Square's current problems are due to them moving from Nintendo to Sony. I'm not trying to get into an argument about Nintendo vs Sony, but I think that once they got involved with Sony, things started deteriorating.

eerrrr · « **Reply #19 on:** 2001-01-16 20:46:00 »

i dont see whats so great about the ff8 graphics. sure, the bits where it plays an fmv while having characters on screen was better quality, and the characters could do more and were more life like. but in ff8 u couldnt tell from someone's nose to their knob. i cant stand the blocky pixel skins, its like the resy evil graphics. well, at least on the psx, with a good graphics card the pc one could be amazing. oh well, the psx owners will know what i mean.

neoblaze · « **Reply #20 on:** 2001-01-24 19:27:00 »

I am as old a Final Fantasy fan as any expert on this board. I've been playing since the first game, beat it, loved it. And then I played, beat and loved the rest of them. However, I haven't played the FF2 or FF3 for the Famicom. But the remaining installments I have truly enjoyed. Even FF Mystic Quest. That game is so underrated.
Anyways...
(Semi-spoiler?)
I can understand how people say FF7 is better than FF8. In FF7, you had Sephiroth. He did lots of stuff that made you angry. Some people were downright pissed off. In FF8, the last boss didn't really do anything to piss you off. FF6 had the awesome Kefka, FF5 had Exdeath, FF4 had Zeromus/Zemus. But the last boss of FF8 just didn't reach the standard of "evil-bossishness" I have not yet played through FF9, I'm on disc 3. It sure is looking promising, though. I have a rough idea who I'll be fighting at the end, and that character did some pretty wicked shit. Something to make your blood boil.

Heh, my two cents

We just seem to keep coming back to this don't we? I pretty much agree with you, though. FF8 is by and large a disappointment. Enough said.

Joey · « **Reply #22 on:** 2001-02-14 13:45:00 »

HEY!!! FINAL FANTASY 8 IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES IN EARTH. It dosen't uses mp dosen't mean that it sucks. It is considered as the 'Black Sheep' of all FF games. Yes. The team who made FF8 is out again making FF10.

Next time, try not to contradict yourself. It's *our* job to contradict you.
