haircut said:I don't like this defense via marginalization. FFIV is not a game geared strictly to children, and its only shortcoming is that the ability to run made it too short.
The story and characters in FFIV are as good or better than most modern RPG's. It trumps FFXII, for example, in both categories.
edit: But no game can touch Hamlet.
In point of fact, there might have been no Spoony Bard at all had I not loved, one summer, a certain Japanese RPG.
Well, I never said it was Shakespeare.Pureauthor said:Not that I'm necessarily disagreeing with you, but I think that's more of a commentary on the state of modern RPG storylines than on FFIV.
?TheJollyCorner said:I've been calling Cecil "Sess-ill" (like the baseball player Cecil Fielder) since 1991.
It's gonna be hard getting use to "See-sill"
uhh the scan shows the pronunciation is the same: it's not pronounced like see-sillTheJollyCorner said:I've been calling Cecil "Sess-ill" (like the baseball player Cecil Fielder) since 1991.

lolPureauthor said:I am willing all of the hatred I can muster in what I believe is your general direction.
I always just pronounced it see-sil, personally. I know its wrong, but eh. It's gonna be tough to adjust.Segata Sanshiro said:Yeah. It's pronounced Seshiru.
Could have just watched the official trailer with the voice over. Said Tee-dus as well.Darkpen said:You know, like how Kingdom Hearts killed every FFX fan ever with "tee-dus"
Heh, I always said 'Cess-il', but only cuz I knew a "Cess-il". I always said "Tee-dus" because I knew how to read the kana at that time. Though I have suffered years of people looking at me funny for saying it that way.Darkpen said:I always just pronounced it see-sil, personally. I know its wrong, but eh.

Personally, I don't think this statement is insulting. If anything, that's almost exactly the reason why I compared the two.Monk said:Yeah, shakespeare is so overrated formulaic crap.

The one released with Spirits Within. I see if I can find it.Darkpen said:What official trailer D: You had the option to change Tidus's name in FFX.

What exactly is the problem with this? It's totally doable, and in fact I'm sure comparisons could be drawn in cases. (Dunno if I'd agree totally in this case, but bear with me.) Saying FFIV has similarities or traits of a Shakespearian play isn't the same as saying it is "as good as" or "better than".Pureauthor said:Time. Out.

Edit: Wait, it's Tee-dus? MIND = BLOWN
Well, it wasn't a big sentence, more detail should have been gone into instead of name calling.Pureauthor said:No, YOU have no honour!
But on a more serious note, statingthe characters were 'iconic like a Shakespeare play' sounds a whole lot like a quality comparison to me.
How would you? His name isn't said in the game at all.People still don't realize this? I mean, really...

Was he in KH1? Wow, I played that but don't even remember it.Trailer, the way it was written in Japanese, KH...

Yes, he was on that island that you start on, along with Wakka and Selphie, in case you didn't notice them either.RevenantKioku said:Was he in KH1? Wow, I played that but don't even remember it.
And I never watched the trailer. (Trailer? WTF?) And unless you play in Japanese...(I did play International, although that's all in English.)

This is exactly what I meant when I said it was like a Shakespearean play Its all iconic, its all predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. They're all archetypes of somekind, and thus, the story plays out like folklore, like something you would read in a children's book. There isn't some giant thematic moral or anything, its just good against evil, and evil that isn't actually evil at all. Its about personal triumphs, courage, jealously, uncertainty, betrayal, forgiveness, sacrifice, love, hate, and family.lsslave said:Actually I would side with you, its almost shakespearean in a tragic sort of way...
Evil guy really good guy (Cecil) conflicted and torn
Tragic love interest
Big bad guy actually a plot twist
Really, it reads like a play!
(Thats what I loved about old Final Fantasy, while similar in the effect of groups of heroes they were all unique in their own predictable ways )

That's FFIV in a nutshell, along with about ten million other stories.
The character of my choice? So I could give Twin to, like, Cecil and Edge if I felt like it?duckroll said:No. Characters that "die" or leave the party in the game (doesn't everyone lol) in FFIV DS will leave behind abilities that can be inherited into another character of your choice. What is shown is indeed the Twins ability.

:lolethelred said:The interview notes that Twin pairings mixing Cecil, Kain, and Edge aren't being allowed because it would add unwanted homosexual undertones to the game.
icechai said:wow these DS remakes are looking awesome!! only FF remake that could top this would be when they finally decide to remake VI... one can dream
Best FF remade for DS? Fuck yeah, I'd buy that shit.Pureauthor said:I'd probably buy a FFV remake.
