It's alright.

Hey, can't you get Ruflette in mine? Or was that Tranquil... I admit, not the best.

So... I just found out about Final Fantasy XV... Urgh...

Can you guys answer me this? When did the traditional Final Fantasy turn-based fight system stop being fun? Because I played Final Fantasy 3-6 and it was fun, then i played 8 (despite the ass-backwards leveling up system) and 9 and it was still fun... And this is when they stopped using it... Whilst it was still fun... Which perplexes me, because, this is when Final Fantasy games started to go south fast... 10 failed because there was only 1 character i didn't utterly despise and the fighting system was changed to be more "streamlined" which is something that annoyed me, but it stood well enough. I never bothered with 11... But... Then we get to 12... And it seems to be moving away from the traditional gameplay and into the confusing mess... And i played Final Fantasy 13 for about 2 hours before settling into the fear that if i didn't play something with substance soon, then i may have to commit suicide... And now we have 15...

In 15, they appear to have made it a Devil May Cry/Bayonetta style fast-paced-hack'n'slasher... Which is all fine and good, the system works well enough, DMC/Bayonetta are fun games... Now, call me a Radical, but, when I buy a Final Fantasy game... I want a Final Fantasy game, not a Devil May Cry/Bayonetta game...

Now, I can appreciate them going in a new direction with their games, after all, the western mainstream is not a place for JRPG's to make money. But I don't want this to become the norm for Final Fantasy... Why can't it be it's own unique series? I mean, look at Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. A solid game that was a bucket of fun, even if it was a joke. But how pissed would we be if it was called "Metal Gear Solid V: Revengeance" There would be rioting in the fucking streets. Why can't this game be like that, call it "Final Fantasy Shooty-Stabby" It's not like they've never done it before, Final Fantasy Tactics completely changed the game and was a load of fun, I enjoyed Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. So, why can't this be it's own Final Fantasy offshoot series, and leave the millions of fans like me, who want nothing more than a new game with the classic Final Fantasy gameplay and characters that aren't just trying too hard to be Cloud, with the core series?

As you read in my rant. I kinda stopped paying attention when they stopped making fun unique characters and started making Cloud over and over. Hell, the only reason I know is because I just saw Angry Joe's new video. Since 13 made me consider taking 50 calibur asprin, I have been firmly convinced that all games succeeding it were just dead horses they were trying to milk. I mean, 13 made me distance myself from the franchise and 13-2 made me lose all hope for the franchise... Why should I be paying attention to it?

....so why do you give a crap then? When Diamond and Pearl came out, I didn't rant about B/W pokemon unless directly asked.

What? When did I ever give you crap about ranting about Pokemon? In my opinion, the internet is a place for you to shout why you hate everything you hate, so that the world can respond with a unified "We don't care"

[RBYDark]

That's the thing - when I stopped caring, I didn't then proceed to continue ranting about the things I didn't care about.

But that's my point, I don't want to stop caring about it, I hate the fact that I stopped caring about this franchise, when I was 8 years old, Final Fantasy 6 and 9 were the best fucking games in the world, as far as I was concerned... Hell, i just watched this and started welling up a little. I hate how the dream that I may one day re-live this child-like wonder as I step into a brave new world has been lost... When I was 7, that advert blew my fucking mind... It blew it so much, i'm not even sure it was that advert... I remember that, the next day, me and my siblings went to Debenhams in Gloucester and bought that game and... Well... The rest is history... (Fun fact: Simon Pegg used to work at that Debenhams.)

I don't remember, do or do not you have the game RBY? If so, Friend Code?

[RBYDark]

I do have the game but, alas, no wifi so I can't do anything that requires online access until spring break.

[tobiax]

I see. No problem.

[tobiax]

So how's everybody doing?

Spoilers

Ok, I just saw episode 17 (The new episode slipped my mind as watching my way though Fist of the North Star) all I can think of dat ending is "THIS IS BECAUSE YOU MOLESTED ME YA BITCH!!!" Seriously, that bath scene in episode 16 was really fucking creepy. All I could think was "That's a bad touch." and "Come on, Satsuki, show us on the doll where she bad touched you."

As for episode 18... Same for dat finisher... WHY IS THERE SO MUCH BAD TOUCHING!?!?!?

[RBYDark]

Happy Valentine's Day, one and all.
