Final Fantasy

[Jokersvirus]

Its been a few years since I've last played a FF game I believe it was in 06 was the last time i played, dont quote me on the year cause i dont remember very well.

My question is, is there a common theme to these games that links em all together? All the summonings are the same, just different story and people involved, can someone help me with this confusion o.O

Depends Some of the Final fantasy's are on the Same World just at different Times.
They all have Certain monsters and for the most Part the Same Summons and Spells(they might have a few Different Spells) The Battle systems are always different and the Level System is almost always different.

Other then that The Stories Never Link except for Final Fantasy X and X-2
and the Couple Spin off's of Final Fantasy 7. I think Final fantasy 12 had a DS Tactic Spin off that was a Sequel. but they're always Final fantasy 12:bla bla bla.

The numbers are Always Different Story and Heroes.

The way i grew up, if you make game a and you make a sequel of game b its the same thing but moving the story line further ahead and everything.

This series just gives you one storyline per game and its always changing. That makes no sense >.<

It might not make sense but Final fantasy isn't the only one Doing it.

Grand theft auto
Dragon Quest
Star Ocean
Resident Evil

It's a Good way to keep your Fan Base, Honestly if I made a Game I'd probably do it that way as well. I mean look at those Games I listed, 3 of them are probably in the Top 10 of all Game Series.

Ya well this Final Fantasy just SUCKED, omfg it is just horrible.

I mean this is a 3 disk game I didnt even make it half way thru the first.

OMFG its so annoying to be stuck with a little kid and a guy packing heat and they suck at damaging enemies, i wasted 20 minutes trying to kill one mob with them.

OMFG i need a beer.

I love the new active combat thingy but my god the damage done just sucks. The main character is the only one who can do any real damage, and the little boy who was with me on fighting for ODIN, OMFG he died every two seconds. My god he was worthless.

How do they expect me to play a game where i have to waste 20 minutes on killing mobs and a phoenix down every 5 seconds. BAH

....Which one were you playing?

And I enjoy that they have different story lines and characters and stuff... At least they're not trying to milk the same characters every single game.

I mean, you basically know what you're getting yourself into when you play a FF game, so that is sort of a connecting thread - they certainly all have similarities and whatnot.

But how boring would it be if they kept the same characters for like 13 games....

muffin he is playing FF 13

muffin he is playing FF 13

Um I don't think that is what he is talking about since he said it was a 3-disc game, which FF13 isn't? Unless I missed something. O_o

[Subb]

i dunno hes been telling me for days he hate ff 13 so yeah i dunno

[Muffincat]

Well, if it IS FF13, I don't know why you're having so much trouble... o.o I found the game pretty easy except for certain boss battles; but then you just have to find the right combination of classes to beat them super fast....

Maybe try playing around with your setup? That might help.
