[QUOTE="deathfisaro, post: 1313579, member: 69723"] Well liking stories is very subjective. Some people hate Japanese RPGs just because the characters appear too young. For example, Blue Dragon's Shu is 16 -or maybe 17-. If you look at the artwork/game model, he appears like 8. While I have no problem with how kiddish a character looks, other people don't like this "kid saves the world" RPGs. Also turn based RPGs are dying out. They used to be mainstream Japanese RPG back in NES/SNES time but turn based is indeed old school and can be very boring unless there's a twist in battle. If you look at the history of FF, you can see how it's shifting to more action oriented. The very first FFs were truly turn based. And active turn battle was introduced. (Time flows even when choosing commands) FF12 is shaped quite different from previous turn based RPGs. Not only that, every time mainstream FF comes out, there's a new system. Could be an upgraded system from previous FF, could be totally new, Square isn't afraid of experimenting. The way story unfolds is changed too. It used to be characters without "character" but customizable. These days FF characters are quite unique. That's why I like FF. Different every time, and different in a positive way most of the time. What's with all the hype? Probably buncha old school JRPG fans are wondering what Square will do to their new FF game. If you like Seiken Densetsu (Sword of Mana series have plunked and no good ones since Legend of Mana IMO), I'd recommend more action oriented games. Star Ocean, Tales of series, Valkyrie Profile, etc. As I said, turn based (and its variations) isn't for everyone. Either you can stand it or you can't. Even people who used to love it in early 90's can't take it if they were to play one now. It's a big barrier and Square Enix is aware of it. So something will be done. As for your comments, FF3 DS looks terrible. So does FF4 DS. Personally I prefer the NES FF3 graphics over this DS engine. Not everybody is tolerant to old graphics and it was Square's experiment to get new people drawn in. (I'd say it didn't work) And each FF has quite different color to their stories. Some are childish, some are deep, some are light, some are didactic, ... If none of them got you reeled in, I'm not sure what will. Well it's after midnight so my post is quite disorganized, my apologies. I think I misread your posts too, so some parts might make you go "what the hell? that's not what I meant" [/QUOTE]
