Didn't want to make it so obvious it works too!Better, no?
Was just talking about games with turrible stories scoring high. It's fallout so no matter what happens it would have scored high.
Fair enough.

In defense of that game...the gameplay was sublime.
Rage barely has any story and it scores 79. Telltale's The Walking Dead barely has any gameplay in it and it scores 89.
Video games doesn't have to excel in everything to be scored high.

Fully agree. The characters, the world, and just the general experience of playing the game is why I love FF. The story is important too of course but for me, the characters development and how they interact with one another is the driving force for me. It's why I could never get into XIII; it was filled with unjoyable characters and weak character interactions on top of an even weaker plot in my opinion. If I looked at VIII story objectively, the time compression storyline is probably a bunch of bullshit but I love the characters, the world, music, etc. enough that it didn't matter in the end.
That would be awesome as fuck imo
12 has an even higher meta I wasn't thinking better score wise but it still boggles the mind 13 has an 83 yet gets all that damn hate

I think a JRPG-esque story might be a hard sell for those not accustomed to its style and character tropes.
You have game likes Watch Dogs, MGSV and Fallout 4 scoring in he 80's and 90's range despite have a wide array of flaws in narrative, game design and performance aspects (imo).
Then you have NieR which got hammered by critics, despite many people who played it being grabbed by the story, world and music etc....
So I personally won't be putting much stock in to the critics assessment of the story. I have a feeling it will already be an uphill battle due to the shoddy localization on that front. Since I'm accustomed to writing, character archetypes and will be playing in Japanese, I won't panic if they are critical. I'm far more interested in what they say about the game design.
Just goes to show how screwed up this world really isYou know XII has a higher score than VIII right?

The real question is which of the 10 year old games will get better metacritic scores, FFXV or TLG?
Mafia 3's currently sitting on 69.Y'all seem to forget that open world games tend to automatically get no lower than high 80's. And an open world game that actually has a story, definitely amazing soundtrack, etc?
I think VIII was up to interpretation, especially after having read that Squall is dead theory on the Internet. I realized then that from that perspective, the game had a lot of sense, but in reality, it could meant something completely different for someone else.
I agree. My first FF game. Just amazing. Dat Triple Triad tho hhnngg!
I think ff xv. While ff xv previews were all good, and reviews maybe will be around mid-eighty, i can't see TLG reaching 80 metacritic. At best it will reach high 70. This is because FF XV doesn't feel old in its gameplay, while a couple reviews already mentioned the game being a bit disappointing because of its clunky controls and stubborn Trico AI.
Sooo... Any early copy news in south east asia countries?

Nice.
VanishedSo verendus never came back?
I really should try and finish FF8.
I will admit the draw system is tiring, but the summons and the world is quite beautiful. Localization killed squall tho.
All that FF8 love... I love you all. For real.
You need to realize that Trico has the personality of a cat. Would a cat obey to every of your request? Not always.
FFVIII is a somewhat mid-tier FF for me, but it's still my #15 game.
In other words, it's pretty damn good, and I like Final Fantasy a lot.
I don't remember hating the game, I think I was just stuck in this one boss who kept killing me so I decided to take a break. Then my PS3 got corrupted and erased all my data...Im sure Square will put the PC port of 8 on PS4 eventually, once it hits the game will be cake, drawing will be much more tolerable in 3x speed.
I honestly don't understand why we don't have FFVIII and FFIX yet on PS4.Im sure Square will put the PC port of 8 on PS4 eventually, once it hits the game will be cake, drawing will be much more tolerable in 3x speed.
The feelsWhat were the differences between English and Jap. Squall? I liked Squall's attitude and felt like the reactions towards it was grossly overblown.
