Up and Comming

Whoever made X-2 was watching too much Charlie's Angels and Tomb Raider, that much is obvious. As for the FFVII spin-offs, it does seem like they're overdoing it but I'll wait and see how the games turn out before I form a opinion.

That was quite funny!

Dont get me wrong, I dont mind the FF games being a little more light hearted, but that was just stuiped

my brother owns FFX-2 - not even out of the plastic yet because he hasn't completed FFX yet.

Here is a question for you though...do you ever REALLY finish a final fantasy?

Is it when you beat the last boss?
Is it when you have unlocked everything?
Is it when you max out or your characters stats?

No, you never truly Finish a final fantasy, theirs always one chest you missed, one combination of attacks you want to try, a different approach you never thought of....even just to wonder around and show how powerful you are by killing one of every random monster with one hit

To finish a final fantasy would require the dedication of a monk to prayer

there is no end, only a beginning, there will always be things to do, as life, you can never TRULY finish it. This is why, when you get the last FMV, you feel empty, as if it where a shallow victory

for my brother it is - beating the last boss.

and i haven't got that far on any FF game.

I have beat all the final fantasies I have played, but to be honest, I have never truly finished with them, I some times go on them just to wonder around my fav locations, sad but true. In fact, I stood and stared at the woods of Marcalania for a while...because they were so beautiful....

My opinion is that you finish a FF game when you beat the final boss and see the ending (feel empty? I always feel good when I beat a game). You master the game if you complete all the optional sub-quests, beat all the optional bosses, get the best equipment, etc. And if you actually take the time to max out all your characters stats then you're just insane.

For me, I usually try to master games although sometimes I fall a little short on my first playthrough because I'll miss something I can't go back and get/do later on.

yes, but final fantasy games come few and far between if you've played them all, you do kinda spend alot of time on the last one, wasn't it almost 2 years since ff10? ((I'm not including 11, 10-2 and tactics because there not really a part of the main series, there have a class of there own...))

Back on topic, I just watched some teaser movies for DBZ Budokai 3. :-==== It looks awesome! Finally a DBZ game that where the battles actually look like they came out of the anime. I have got to get it! Now I just need to get money to get it with -_-

DBZ? I hate the anime, but I must admit, I liked the first game, i might look into DBZ B 3

I use www.gamespot.com for game news and the like. They got lots of streaming video of various games. One thing though, its subscribtion based so you have to pay to subscribe if you want to access any content older than a week or two.
