Enough Final Fantasy anthologies!

[Guppy06]

How many times are we expected to buy the old Famicom and Super Famicom Final Fantasy games? I wish they'd stop whoring that series long enough to, I dunno, translate DQIV for the PlayStation. Or milk some other big Enix names, say a SoulBlazer collection for GBA.

Even other lesser-known Squaresoft games would be something. Seiken Densetsu 3? At what point do we admit we have too much Final Fantasy?

My wet dream is S-E making all the old games they never translated available for download in English for the Revolution.

Re:More information on the FFXI expantion

[falcon5768]

you know I play both FFXI and WoW and to me the cartoonish stuff of WoW looks worse than FFXI. A lot of the CoP areas are very vivd and beautiful, its just if your lacking in skill (cause honestly it doesnt take a genius to beat Promivions which is all you ever really need to do to get to most of the areas) then yeah you dont see them.

As a expantion CoP was excellent, but you had to be a good player which was the best part. 2 monkeys and a lvl 75 could beat Zilart but CoP required you to actually know how to play to complete the missions making it very challenging. The sad part was 80% of the players ended up being found to be idiots who want everything on a silver platter which is why its looked down on, but in a month with a good crew I managed to go from diablos to sea only occasionally playing so it wasnt that tough. Heck the hardest mission of them all, the battle against Ultima and Omega we beat first run.

I have a feeling your the same AC troll who always trolls these FFXI posts am I right? Well I proved you wrong the first 80 times you commented so why dont you go troll WoW players or something.
