What this game NEEDED

Eisole · 12-19-2006, 08:18 AM

This game needed a cardgame. The game itself has a very familiar feel to FFVIII (everyone is depressed in their own way?) and I think with all the travelling between big cities, there would have been something like a Card Game.

This can be a thread for what the game "NEEDED" in general, but I really think the need for something other than hunting quests is priority.

It could have used some variety of side quest games other then just hunts(something I always enjoyed was in FFVII in fact they had a game corner, and I really enjoyed the battle area where you would get to test out your skills ect, they should really do something similar like this in the future for a mini game you can do.), also I'd have to say they needed to add an option to make the summoning video for espers shorter (already pretty short but would be nice to have an option to just have it brought to the field)

That would be a good idea about having a card game, but Square should've put more effort in the game into making some more mini-games besides fishing and doing mob hunts. Is there even a fishing mini-game in there? I never got to it if they do though. I would've liked some kinda mini game with the chocobos or like a Casino or something. It'd be nice to have that, but overall though its a great game...

Yeah i like some of the card games in the FF Seris But i wish Triple Triad in XII
or Some type of Chocobo race game.

Another four or five classes of weapons, with greater difference between the effects of all classes of weapons would be have been nice.

I, for one, am glad there is no card game. I don't like them. In VIII I didn't play the card game and found out later there are things you can't do (or get? not sure which) unless you play the card game. I hate that. An optional game that has no effect or bearing on the main game, yes; a requirement, no.

I would agree on better differentiation of weapon grades. I haven't been able to tell much difference between any weapon grade so far.

I would have liked more weapons, spells, and the sort. I also kind of felt like it needed more of a storyline, and for it to be longer.

i totaly agree... im now through the storyline at level 50 (well alomost through it) i never used the guide (cant use zodiac spear

)... but back on subject... anyways i got throught this storyline in like 5 days of playing for 5 hours a day when i got bored... i wish it would have taken me a little longer.

However... The license system kind of made up for it. If you look at Cain Highwinds idea to use old FF characters (read his topic it is really great) it adds tons of variety to the game, possibly more than the sphere grid from ffx

they should have made up another game like they did with ffX BLITZBALL ROCKS!!! The marks and stuff just seemed like side quests not mini games

supershiva11 · 12-27-2006, 01:17 PM

Lol definetely needed more side-quests, as all FF games but this one had a TON of them. I'm not so certain on blitzball though...

I agree... I always thought the need to play a card game "in the background" of final fantasy games was kinda stupid. I'm thankful that the "hunts" in XII are the optional part of the game, and most of the time, it takes some thought to defeat the hunts. It's a nice change of pace as far as FF "optionals" are concerned

this ff trying so hard to looks like a mmorpg game..
if they want to make ff has more action feelings, why do they add the ATB?
this game really needs Tetsuya Nomura ( eventhough the half human girl with black skin is quite sexy with her slut outfit )
