Square on Xbox?!??!!?!?!!?!?!

My philosophy on games: I don\'t give a damn if a game doesn\'t innovate, as long as I have fun with it.

That basically is similar to what I think. That\'s why I enjoyed every Final Fantasy including 8. I didn\'t care about all the flaws it has got as long as I am having fun with playing it.

well there is more to it than that but i see what you are going at and i do agree to a point

the battles are pretty reptitive but there is strategy to beating each enemy

almost everygame is repetitive when you think about - because in a game there is usually one goal and mainly only a few formats to reach that goal

I don\'t finish most games for that very reason. I play for fun. When it ain\'t fun, I stop.

well being maxed out does not help you at all actually = the higher level you are the higher level the final boss is and therefore makes the battle a lot harder

i hope you have a save before you starting max out your characters or else you will have to keep trying

FF8 was undeniably poo. I don\'t conceive how any gamer could like this game.

Here is an overview of the game.

walk two steps.
fight plants or bees or something stupid like that.
Use GF\'s of any kind to beat them.
Get Diablo.
Use GF\'s to beat Diablo.
walk two steps.
Use GF\'s to kill it.
walk two steps.
Use GF\'s to kill monster(s) x1000.
get to endguy.
use GF\'s and limit breaks to defeat it.


woohoo! A little variety is thrown in towards the end! Excellent game!

that gamewas pure crap. ANd if it were released as Squall\'s Struggle, or something other than FF, it would have sold all of 4 copies. Brand name in America is major kicking and a lasting brand name will sell instantly. Look at Sony electronics, no way they are the best products for the money, but people still buy their stuff in droves because it has the name on it. Look at Vagrant Story, a truly magnificent RPG, yet it sold less than 100k in Japan and America.

Thanks that helps.  I think I\'ll just buy ff9  & 10 and forget about ff8.

Even I have been quilty of this... After years of resistance I finally broke down in a weak moment, and bought FF7. What a letdown! I didn\'t know what to expect (other than \'the greatest RPG ever\'), but man... it was just so boring and some of the worst $25 I\'ve spent of a game. So slow and boring - not my kinda game at all it seems. Anyway, it might be a good game, but it\'s really good at hiding it then.

Hey, we all have done it in one form or another.

I have bought these games and been disappointed based on developer and name alone:

WSB2k1
Final Fantasy 7 and 8
Twisted Metal 3 (rented 4 and found out it was poo)
Madden \'99
DOA2
Street Fighter EX


We all make mistakes. I just usually (if possible) rent before I buy.

Some things I have lucked out on:

Panzer Dragoon
Jet Set Radio
Vagrant Story
Grandia (saturn)
GunGriffon
RollCage

a couple others.
