Final Fantasy being hated

I hate final fantasy and kingdom hearts. Also puppies

 

Alright, puppies I understand, but why the other two?

 

OH wow, what the heck happened in this thread while I was in class? Ok, seems like some don't like it because of gameplay or they think it's the same thing. Well, personally I love the gameplay, it makes me thing on my feet for the most part, unless you're playing like X or I, II, III. I guess Tactics too but that doesn't count too much. And I think the stories are creative. I don't think they're the same thing at all. Yeah, you've got the simple "This world will be destroyed and heros must save it" but what do you expect from a game like this? It's basically the same in Kingdom Hearts, and other games. Heck, even Legend of Dragoon is the same, and that game is still the most epic game I've every played.

 

Well, there' allways a bad guy who chooses salvation via destruction, and a teenager group choosing salvation via hope, that for some reason is so skilled at fighting that 95% of the world population couldnt even try to beat them, including most 40 years old war veterans. Notice that they often haven' t received any kind of military training. Hell, they can even bring swords and staves (or cards, or umbrellas ...) to a gunfight and yet live to tell the tale, blowing any robot or tank to smitherins nonetheless. Unless they' re called Zack Fair and are suposed to die, suddenly the army gets as strong as a demi-god, Your team allways includes a cute magical girl, a cute/weird magical creature, a brooding warrior etc ...
Just check TV Tropes, they probably made a list of all the recuring FF clichés.

Since FFIV the mold is always the same, a Star Wars-like modern mythology in which a bunch of goody two shoes beats a myghty baddy bad bad evelish evil, flirting in the process. That doesn' t mean it doesn' t leave room for a philosophical approach, as in Xenogears, or for entertaining, but as Princess Ariel said FF chose the road of romance and constant feelings and emotions.
I don' t hate FF stories, but I don' t really enjoy them either. What I care about first and foremost in any video game is its gameplay. If the story is good, bonus, if not, well if all I wanted was a story I would have picked a book or a movie. I guess that makes my opinion on straight-line RPGs or RPGs that play themselves easy to guess.

 

FFIV: Adults
FFVII: Most of them are adults.
FFXI: Adults, probably pedophiles.
FFXII: Two teenagers, all the rest are adults.

You were saying?

 

t'was a joke sir

 

So you don't hate puppies? Damn, I thought I had finally found someone like me.

 

...

 

Oh gawd, fine, replace "always" by "90% of the time" in my previous post if you think it' s more accurate, my point remains the same.
I was putting teenagers and twenty something young adults in the same bag.
Rydia, Palom and Porom are adults ? O_o

:lolface:

 

well, I guess gameplay is nice, but that's not really what gets me for a game. It has to be the story, and it has to be exciting. I guess the gameplay is somewhat of importance, but it doesn't really add on to the game besides how well it plays, and since we can all learn how to play a game, I don't think it's that big of a deal.

 

I think final fantasy is the greatest game series in history.
