Post by: Ethan_Hunt on July 11, 2001, 02:03:41 AM
i got this info from ign.com boards.

Famitsu gives FFX a........
Well it got the same score as GT# a 39 10/9/10/10.

They said it was the best FF till date, but again somebody had to bug and give a 9, geez oh well 39 is a good score don\'t you think.

Another great game to look out for.

One question: Is Vagrant Story the only game that got 40 points?

Nope.

Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time for N64 got 40, and Soul Calibur for the DC got 40 aswell.

I find it funny how they said it was the best in the series. Didn\'t they say the exact same thing when FF8 came out? HA, I don\'t trust their Square reviews anymore. I\'d wait for an IGN review if I were you...

*remember GT3 got 9.8 despite having SNES quality AI and physics*

Ok wait the gamestop review, they\'re pretty sane, right?

IMO no game deserves to get 40/40 or whatever score system you use. A game is never perfect. It might be really, really good, but it\'ll not be perfect and deserve a perfect score.

I agree with Samwise.

I bet they started to end that. Because if its the best in the series it is sure as hell beats the snot out of ANY Zelda game.

Whoa ! ViVi.... do I sense a little grudge
towards \'any Zelda\' game here ?
The only one I\'ve ever tried was Ocarina OT
but I got stuck and never finished it....

No, but Final Fantasy is a waaaaaay better series than Zelda IMO.

Jumpman at the time FF8 came out it probably was the best in the series for them because it was new,but things can get better you know,and FFX can become the best in the series.
Someone probably said the same thing about zelda on the snes,but then the n64 zelda blew it away,which made it the best in the series.

Why do say foolish ****.

Why would you even say something this untrue unless your trying to prove how naive  you actually are

Confucious say: Man with nothing to say like to put foot in mouth and suck it like man sausage.

Does THAT answer your question?

Ok ok, I was being a bit rational.

PSX quality AI and physics.

Happy?

Yes, PSX fans will have trouble solving the puzzles... ;)

The point in my post was to say that their clearly biased torwards Square. FF8 simply wasn\'t even close to the quality FF7 was. And I\'m pretty sure they said the exact same thing about FF9 when it was released.

I just don\'t trust their Square reviews. I mean, Vagrant Story was probably one of my favorite PSX games but it is no where near the sheer quality of Zelda:OOT or Soul Calibur IMO.

The only Final Fantasy I played was 7. I skipped the rest. I\'m too dumb for RPG\'s. :D

Sweet news it\'s got the same score as no. 7

Does anyone have any text from the review?

I agree with Samwise and ViVi, every game has at least  one outstanding flaw

Zelda (which i bought) i would give 8.5/10

Predictable story, at times crap cameras, Temples were a bit same-old (not as same-old as dark cloud ;) )


it says at http://www.mmcafe.com that the reviewer who gave 9 was very negative....

"FFX gets 39/40 in Famitsu ratings. 4 criticts reviewed the game, one guy gave a 9.
I\'m sure he wanted to give a way lower grade than that (his review was pretty negative),
but there\'s politics involved which stopped him from doing that for sure."

well IMO Zelda on the 64 was not good as Link from the past

but liked the SNES of all systems to date so that may be why i guess

I believe none of those titles were ever released in Japan. The Japanese have very strange taste in games genres compared to us. They prefer dating sims over first person shooters...

Let get something straight first, FF is an RPG and Zelda is an action/adventure.
U cant compare them.
But anyway FF is king, I got bored of Zelda after a few hours of play.

SSX was released in Japan. Might not have been a hit as it is in America, but they did release it in Japan.

I think there is even a Famitsu score on it as well. Which...here it is.
http://ps2.ign.com/news/26864.html

32/40

As for the others, they might be released in Japan eventually (or ever I guess), but the US got them first. So, no Famitsu score for them yet/ever.

I agree. I noticed this first with the OPS2 demo they had. The AI cars would just follow a racing line, never overtaking each other really, just following this line keeping in strict order.

I hoped this would be improved upon, esp considering that this OPS2 demo was from early game code.

Unfortunatly it doesn\'t seem to have been improved. Both IGN and the hours of footage from the JAP final version on PSW DVDs both show the cars having lifeless AI unfortunatly.

Fine the game will still be ace on graphics, sound, and playability. In my book though it will never be amazing when the computer controlled cars just follow a racing line, like they have no intention of winning. Just my opinion though. :)

Like was said earlier, SSX was released.
I heard it got the highest score that any EA game has got thats released in Japan. Which was 32

The Jap\'s sure do play some crazy games.

I still want A-Train 6 to be released over here though. I played A-Train on the Amiga. Cool game!
