Does anyone think that Squaresoft games have lost the charm a lot of their games on PSOne had? I thought FFX was awful (nice of them to have Meg Ryan as the protagonist), FFX-2 looks incredibly shit (FFX-2, wtf were they thinking?!...actually, it has 'cash in' written all over it now that I think about it...Kingdom Hearts was just gay (and it's now going to be a flagship title with a sequel already announced and more to come), what are they doing damnit...
They could make a sequel of Einhander, Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, Front Mission 3, etc, ect but no they choose to make rubbish that appeals more to the mainstream than their hardcore fans...not surprising considering they lost a shiteload of mulah from that crap FF movie but still...their PS2 games suck, at least Namco didn't stuff up Xenosaga...
What are your thoughts regarding Squares PS2 material in comparison to their PSOne classics?

They have got a bit samey, but i saw FFxi in tokyo, and it did look impressive, they just need to add a dose to the FF range to give it some life.
One problems i've always found with FF is if you leave it for a couple of weeks you've already forgotten the story line!

The FF movie was pretty poor, but graphically it was stunning. The best bit was when the professor gets surrounded by that white stuff at the end and say "ohhh Its warm." I was pissing myself in the cinema it looked like he was being cummed on in anti grav

Good things come in time. Just wait for this Square Enix merger to get into full force.
And hey, FFX wasn't a bad game, nice graphics, sweet music, and decent story and gameplay.
And if you want some old-school, then I sugegst you pick up Final Fantasy Origins (Final Fantasy 1 + 2) with updated graphics ad gameplay of course.

ff7 kicked ass, i nearly beat it
i nearly beat ff9 too, i think i got near the end of the 3rd disk
the only thing i hate about ff games is that they're way too fucking long. i lose intrest in them right when i've almost beat them

Well, those are classics, but FF1 and FF2 paved the way, especially FF2 with it's dramatic storyline.

Final Fantasy Tactics for the Gameboy looks great. It's being developed by some of the Atlus team that worked on Tactics Ogre - An awesome and severly underrated GBA game.

chrono cross just wasn't that good in my eyes. too much going on to really get into any of the characters. my FAVorite FF would be VI. that game...rules. plain and simple.
FFVIII would be number two in my book. i beat IX, but it was just...meh. nothin' fancy. X was fun just for blitz ball. i played that game for ages.
ff: anthology and ff: chronicles were just completely ridiculous. sure, the movie sequences are kinda neat...but. eh. though i WILL say i enjoy having FFV outside of an emulator rom. hehehe.

"X was fun just for blitz ball. i played that game for ages."
That was practically the only thing I didn't like about it. I still don't know how to play.. Don't you have to do something with it to get Wakka's ultimate weapon?

a vagrant story, I loved that game, never could complete it though. I'm stuck at 84% . I must have played over 50 hours but still haven't found what I have to do. But it's been like a year or two since I played it for the last time.
But yeah a sequal would rule.

oh and I'm also a FF player. VII was the best IMO, the storyline, the gameplay
it all fitted perfectly. The junctioning system of VIII sucked arse and the story wasn't that good either, but the cardgame was cool.
VIV was okay I guess. :) X is pretty cool, the blitsball thing was fun to play etc;...
they should make a remake of FF VII for playstation 2 or a sequel on that story with the same gameplay, I like how you could attach materias to your weapons and stuff.
