And I think that what the problem is here, you make comparisons to movies or books in our history and the thing is, you can't compare the plots and characterizations in video games on the same level. Books and most movies will always beat out the story in the video game, hands down. So to say the c...

I think, if anything, they were just questioning the validity of a remake if all they do is change the graphics. I don't think Gamespot are right to identify those things as "adult" since most kids' cartoons have "love, hate, honor, duty, betrayal and redemption" in them. Take s...

Thanks for the review. :) You know, even though reviewers on a game site are our critics for the gaming community, it is still the opinion of only one person. "For the first time, console role-players weren't given a few generic heroes and charged with stopping the evil wizard and saving the wo...

Whatever. You two apparently don't like the story, and that is your preroggative. I thought it was quite good. My point is you just didn't see that many RPGs back then for consoles, period. There was pretty much Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior. And none of them had any epic stories. The first one t...

Like I said, it was the first FF that actually had a decent story. Again, if you compare it to the stories of the more current FF's, yes, it isn't as intertwined. But for it's time, it was good. I mean when I played it for the first time, I "was" captivated by the story and played the gam...

Well, I wouldn't look at the older games as terrible stories. Console RPGs were still relatively new then and developers were experimenting and seeing what worked. I think it was just like it is now. There were some stories that were bad, some that were good and some that were quite good. I feel FF ...

FFVII had the Materia system along with the battle system. FFV had the Job Change system, FFVI had its Magicite system, FFVIII has the GF system, FFIX has the item-skill system, FFX has the Sphere Grid and FFXII had the Job grid thingy. FFIV was just the bare bones ATB with no "out-of-battle&q...

To be honest, even at the time it was worse than the Dragon Quest games. Its system is also simpler than FFII or FFIII's. As for story, well humans have been telling complex and interesting stories for thousands of years. I don't see how something created only about 17 years ago has any reason to p...

I think it's overrated because it's frequently mentioned as the best FF, and sometimes as "the only good one". Its story is, I guess, sweet (sweet in the sense of "nice", not "sweeeet" as Cartman would say) and doesn't get too bogged down in details like a lot of the &...

I live in the general videogame community as well as EO and Zelda, I actually work fro Zentendo.com as the UK Editor, loads of people "hate" OoT. Ingrates. That's all I can say about them. I wasn't directly referring to you for HP, but most people are like that now. They've read a few boo...

I'm sure I'll buy (download) it when it comes out in the US. It's not my favourite Final Fantasy (and I think it's pretty damn overrated) but it's still a fine game and it'll be interesting to see what they've done with it. I don't feel it's overrated. It's not my favorite Final Fantasy of the seri...

Listen, I know what you are saying, though. I work for Comcast and the times when I have had to call in for technical assistance, they tell me what I have already tried. "Unplug your modem/cable box and have it reset." I want to say to them, "I work for Comcast, don't you know think I...
