Rant Lifestyle goofs around with the casts of Final Fantasy games in this fun slideshow.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
In fairness, Barret is just as stereotyped as Sazh.
Squall develops well toward the end of VIII, but god he's DREADFUL in Dissidia. Terrible script, terrible delivery.
Tidus is awesome. Fuq the haters.
Vaan is sort of bratty and annoying, but he's not the worst character in a Final Fantasy game that's for sure. Weird that he was marketed as the main character in XII though.
And I don't know, I think Vanille is kind of interesting - just the fact that she hides such dark things from the rest of the gang and puts up this veneer of ditzyness and innocence. It makes her a slightly disturbed character in a lot of ways.
I think Vincent is less interesting as a character, more interesting as a kind of big plot point or concept. Dirge of Cerberus has the best story of all the Compilation games too, I don't care what anyone says. I could say the same for Aeris, but I get the impression Aeris would be a similar character to Yuna, just without the melancholy.
Kain is good in Dissidia, bit contrived in IV though.
crappy article
Balthier deserves some love. If he were the actual main character of FFXII, he might very well be the best protagonist out of all the main games.
I laugh at Sazh´s entry. He´s probably my fave char from FFXIII, the guy has a really interesting relation with Vannile, and the most emotional segment in the game for me was Nautilus.
throwing up a picture and maybe half a sentence about a characters does not a decent article make.
