Method for creation of creation of carbon dioxide in which a human being, equipped with "Lungs" (Patent pending) is capable of drawing oxygen-enriched gas from the atmosphere inside his body, and afterwards expelling carbon dioxide ----
The way I heard it is that the owner of the gamefan network (i forget his name, but he had a past of being an asshole and a shyster) sold it to Express.com but express.com didn't know what they were buying. However it happened, it turned out Express found themselves with a site network they didn't want and the rest, as they say, is recent history. ----
It's not a good idea to say "Gamefan/Express.com" since Gamefan is in no way responsibile for what's happening. Gamefan is getting screwed as much as anyone else- Express.com bought Gamefan erroniously and doesn't even want it, so they're finding as many ways as possible to not pay GF and GF's hosted sites.
At least, that's how I've heard it. Express.com are the ones to blame.
Fortunately, the print magazine won't be effected. ----

Fortunately, Squaresoft isn't entirely in the 'movie business' for games. Other titles like FF Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Chrono Cross are much more interactive. In fact, Chrono Cross takes 'old school' a step further and even has a SNES/NES style 'gather elemental quest items' section.
Sure, FF8 is as interactive as a petrified tree, but FF9 at least looks to reverse that a bit, and Square does have a lot of other games.
Remember, it's SquareSoft, not FinalFantasySoft. "RedHat is not Linux" "Final Fantasy is not Squaresoft"
I've always wondered what the quicktime facination was. Maybe it's the Macintosh angle (this is the movie industry, after all), or the 'user friendlyness' of it. Maybe filesize? But really, quicktime is a lot slower than others. Plus, it doesn't/ask/ to change file associations and things- I have a SB Live, I don't want Quicktime software midi synthesis. And I have the 'free version' - I don't need to be reminded of "Pro" since I don't do anything that pro would want. I ended up pirating Pro just to get rid of the annoying nag screen that this supposed 'free' software has.
Final Fantasy: The Movie never confessed to trying to be a game, you know. And it's not japanimation, it's being developped in CG in Hawaii, which is in the United States. ----
I was going to mention the Wonderswan but I haven't heard anything concrete one way or another about an american release. And these are more remixes then re-releases- they'll have SNES-calibre graphics on NES games, much like Super Mario All Stars. ----
Okay, let's try this again. Hopefully it'll actually work this time.
It's a bit complicated, but here's a little chart:
Japan: Final Fantasy USA: Final Fantasy.
Japan: Final Fantasy II USA: Never released.
Japan: Final Fantasy III USA: Never released.
Japan: Final Fantasy IV USA: Never released.
Japan: Final Fantasy IV Easytype USA: Final Fantasy II
Japan: Final Fantasy V USA: Final Fantasy V (HORRIBLY TRANSLATED) in FF Anthology
Japan: Final Fantasy VI USA: Final Fantasy III, and VI in FF Anthology
Japan: Final Fantasy VII USA: Final Fantasy VII
and the rest are the same.
Also, here are some other "FF" titles that are interesting.
USA: FInal Fantasy Mystic Quest Japan: Final Fantasy USA. (This is much like Mario Bros 2)
USA: Final Fantasy Adventure Japan: Seiken Densetsu
USA: Secret of Mana Japan: Seiken Densetsu 2 (yes, SoM is a sequel to FFA)
Japan: Seiken Densetsu 3, USA: Not released, buty ou can get a translated version off the net.
USA: Legend of Mana Japan: Seiken Densetsu: Legend of Mana.
Seiken Densetsu means, essentially "Legend of the Holy Sword" by the way, as a reference to the Mana Sword.
Final Fantasy Legend 1, 2, and 3, in the USA were originally "SaGa", which made it's way to the PSX in SaGa Frontier.
FF Tactics is called FF Tactics in both Japan and North America.
As for FF Movie, it's not really an FF movie - it's not really Final Fantasy in any sense, they're just using the name a bit more freely. But it will probably still really really kick ass, anyway. It's worth 7 bucks just to see the effects of 3D realism on a crowd. ----

Never mind the fact that the 'new trailer' has been up for months.
Really guys, for all the flack we're giving the Patent Office for not checking into 'prior art', I think the/. crew should be checking prior art itself.
This isn't meant to be a troll, or flamebait, but I for one am concerned at the frequency of old or repeated news on/. recently. It's crazy. ----
What i'm getting at is that it's just 'progress' - it's not an idea, just a change to an old one. There's no actual innovation- there was nothing to patent, at all, just a method of doing somethjing slightly better then a competitor. ----
more-than-one-click shopping existed for a while. Logically, less clicks is better.

This isn't really a reply to the troll itself, but I would just like to express my confusion at the message starting off saying "cock" and "fuck" bbut then suddenly it becomes "cack" and "fack" as some sort of psudo-censorship. If you're going to use something like f*ck instead of fuck, don't say "you F*cking fuckheads" because that just ruins the purpose. ----
What if someone developed a 2D animation system based on 3D acceleration? We know that 3D can make some very excellent 2D (Take Yoshi's Story. Granted, the game itself sucked, but hte graphics were great) What if someone developed a well-thought-out 2.5D navigation system? ----
Slashdot Mirror
Quake 3 was never meant to be 'well balanced' - it was meant to be frantic instead.
However, taking realism AND gameplay, and putting it together say, in a game like Counter Strike, definately works.
Plus, "Realistic" first person shooters do have a suspension if disbeleif.. most people who play it aren't SWAT team members.
