VII is extremely over rated, now does this mean it's bad? No. It's a great game. No one deny that it's a extraordinary game. Is its popularity well deserved? I think so at least it deserves to be popular, but not as popular as other FFs. IX being my favorite is one I believe deserves popularity.

I liked Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

...or were you talking about a different OVA?

Advent Children I've seen. That was the movie. I was talking about FF7: Last Order, which I'll see sometime in the not too distant future, I'm sure.

I loved FFX, it was one of the few FFs I kept going back to after completing it (namely for the massive amount of sidequests, cactuars and monster arena). I also really loved the Sphere Grid. There are so many moments and features in FFX that make it one of the best Final Fantasy games to me; I'd have to say it's a favourite along with IX and IV.

Anyone else playing The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks? Wait, don't go! It's ok! They fixed most of the problems from Phantom Hourglass! Seriously though, Spirit Tracks is really enjoyable so far.

Planning to finish up Persona 4 soon and start a new game+. I'm in the last dungeon (the normal ending one anyway, aiming for the true ending afterward), so that won't be long off. Speaking of Persona, I'm working on a game in RPG Maker that mixes the Pokémon world with elements of the Persona games. It's turning out pretty well so far.

Oh God, I loved that games sound track. The true final fight's song is epic, the end portion that is a instrumental remix of "Reach Out to the Truth". My spine melts.

Yeah it is, in fact the whole soundtrack is awesome. I love the music for the TV World plaza ("Backside of the TV").

SE site sucks. I tried to sign up for FF14 beta like 20 times now wouldn't accept my password!

[Romana]

FF8 is out on the PSN today, apparently.

WHICH MEANS 9 IS NEXT <3

[GenesisOne]

Don't you mean wouldn't accept your password?

And yes, such behavior is easily understandable of Squeenix.

They obviously want you to wait like everyone else who holds fast to the company like a bunch of religious zealots.

It should be against the law to import FF13 and post videos on youtube of it! Its so enticing!

Oddly enough...it kind of is.

There are so many streams and vids of the game everywhere. I hate it!

I am now under the impression that if there was a man name Cid added, then Avatar could pass off as a Finial Fantasy movie. In other news a correlation between Avatar and new furries has researches race to find out why.

Oooh, how was the movie Kebrel? Did you see it in full 3D or just at a regular theater?

I'm on pins and needles because if it sucks, it could mark the end of Cameron's career given how expensive it was.

[KebreI]

I saw it in "real 3-d" and I loved it. I haven't been to the theaters in some time, and these 3d movies haven't been any good at all. Cameron pulls through though, and the movie really does shine. Its not the greatest movie ever as some people say but it is a damn fine one. Plus Sigourney Weaver is a "total power-babe" as my friend would say.

[GenesisOne]

You gotta admire James Cameron for putting together (with the help of the executive producers) the most expensive movie production to date (Based on outside sources, it's around half a billion dollars).  I'm confident he'll get it back.

I saw it in Real-D 3D as well on the midnight release.  Visual bombardment to the max!!

Despite the slightly pedestrian plot (I know it's based off of Dances With Wolves) and the stereotyping of the antagonist, it was an amazing movie overall.  I'd give it a 9 out of 10.
