Downfall of Final Fantasy?

Feb 20, 2011 14:29

Hello again, everyone! I'm the one who posted about sexism in video game media a while back. Thanks again to everyone who responded.

I really enjoy the things people here have to say, so I'm wondering if anyone would like to discuss one of my favorite series, Final Fantasy. This may be an overdone discussion, but I haven't really gotten the chance ( Read more... )

Omg. Do NOT even get me started on how crappy FF has turned. :( FF has always been my favorite series and any old Square game, actually.... But omg... X was when they introduced the grid sphere (gay) and voice characters (even gayer) and the gameplay became more Character developed than game.

I was upset and then they tried marketing to girls with X2 and that was an epic no.

I am a girl and in no way did I enjoy that crap (sorry if you did, but it was the worst thing ever.)

Ahh.. I could go on, but I have been up for over 20 hours and need to sleep

Btw love your Zidane icon! FFIX was so under-rated!

Um, can we not use 'gay' as a way of saying 'awful'?

dongwook February 20 2011, 17:32:57 UTC

Sorry. I tend to use it like that, since I am homosexual myself (86%)
but I will do my best not to use it again. :)

86%?

dongwook February 20 2011, 18:53:35 UTC

Yep. I prefer the female anatomy to men, but I am married ans comitted, but still like girls a lot. Ive based calculations off of pros and cons, sorry if it seems so random.

ellonwye February 20 2011, 20:07:38 UTC

I have never in my life heard someone say they were a percentage of gay

dongwook February 20 2011, 20:39:08 UTC

Now you have. Fitting icon btw.

I hate X-2 with a passion. I ahte the battle system I hate the story-line I hate how dumb the girls seem. There's a difference between being cute and silly and being ditzy.

dongwook February 20 2011, 18:54:36 UTC

Lol. Win icon!

And iawtc. It doesn't even deserve the FF title...

The battle system was the only thing that kept me playing.

Eh, I it's a solid game in it's own right, but there's a reason why I tell people not to play it right after FFX. As a standalone it's pretty decent, but feels too jarring for a sequel.
