  1. Final Fantasy VII by TAZ6416 · · Score: 1 · on What Game Do You Love?

    I'd been playing games in the home since 1980 when I got my Philips Videopac G7000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips_G7000 but nothing grabbed me as much as Final Fantasy VII http://www.ffonline.com/ff7/ did. Before I had spent a few days on a game before getting bored, I played FF7 for over 7 months before I finished it.

    Just waiting for the movie to come out on DVD - http://www.square-enix.co.jp/dvd/ff7ac/

    By the way, does anyone remember Super Robot on OpenVMS? I spent hours at lunchtime at this game at work, not graphically great by any means but great fun when all you have is a VT220 :) - There's a Windows version at http://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.kelly4/robot.ht m

  2. androgynously delicious by xenomouse · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Final Fantasy XII U.S. Demo

    Is it just me or are the main characters in each new FF slowing morphing into a single gender?
    (maybe with exception to FFIX, which had a conquistador and a rastafarian it it)

  3. 20 to 16 by Roto-Rooter+Man · · Score: -1, Flamebait · on The Top 25 Squaresoft Games Ever?

    Here are the other picks - 25 to 21, 15 to 11, and 10 to 6, as chosen by fans in the Final Fantasy and RPG community.

    Got something against 20 to 16 there, math major?

    Yep Square has plan for FFIX PC CHECK HERE

  5. Other Gaming Sites by Shaheen · · Score: 5 · on DailyRadar.com Closes
    There are tons of gaming sites out there that focus on news. The only "problem" is that they are usually platform specific, except for the big ones, but that can be solved by some perl scripts :) Here's a list of sites I visit often (too much?):

    • Gamers.com - Not too much info nowadays (they got bit too)
    • The GIA - Fairly good coverage of major events. Very review and gameplay heavy, rather than industry news.
    • Gamasutra - Industry news in a simple format, though more finance and 3rd party tools related
    • FGN Online - Pretty good coverage. It's now an IGN affiliate.
    • SegaDojo - Fairly good SEGA related coverage
    • MS Xbox - For the people who can get past the fact that Microsoft might just have a kick ass gaming machine
    • Final Fantasy Online - For any Final Fantasy freak. The site's down at the moment, though
    • IGN Games - Coverage of anything and everything in gaming
    • GameSpot - Okay, so it's GameSpot. At least they publish all their media in downloadable MPEGs
    • Core Magazine - All the random things that other people don't cover, including interviews and stuff straight from Japan.
    • US Famitsu - Currently down, with no plans of coming back up, but it's the US branch of the standard gaming press in Japan - Famitsu
    • Stomped - Lots of coverage of gaming in general, with some focus on FPS.
    • Blue's News - Blue keeps going, and it's always focused on FPS for the most part.
    • OMM - And of course, Old Man Murray.


    A good number of the above are fairly major publications. Snowball.Com is in trouble as well, but IGN is their biggest crowd attraction, and IGN Games has to be near the top too, so it should last a little while. Core is a major publication in Japan with a real circulation. ZDNet + C|Net together have enough muscle to keep GameSpot going.

  7. Big Enormous FF9 Penis Sword? NO JOKE by Jikes · · Score: 2 · on Final Fantasy IX Pics And Info

    PLEASE tell me that someone will go over the artwork in this game before they port this to non-japan... It's bad enough this character wears makeup, dresses in lace, and has prada boots, but is a HUGE FLESH TONE PENIS SHAPED DILDO SWORD REALLY NECESSARY? Who drew this?

  8. Another cool FF site by stab · · Score: 2 · on Final Fantasy IX Pics And Info

    Hey, this site doesn't seem to have that much new stuff ... the place with the cool FFIX interviews and previews for ages has been Final Fantasy Online which has some wicked Q&A's with the creators and dudes behind the FF series. Japanese slant to it, of course.

    Oh, and they got walkthroughs, not that I needed them :-)
