Nothing to say yet as I'm waiting for it to install but: :w00t:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

It seems to be pretty good. No PC version yet, though. :(

But I've never played any FF game beyond a few minutes (I have FF I-III on my phone).

I played the hell out of Final Fantasy. The NES one.

I have not touched any of them since. They didn't look like my thing.

The last one I played all the way through was VII.  I've played a bit of VIII, IX, X, and XI I believe.  My favorite remains Final Fantasy II for the SNES, aka V in Japan I think?

The characters look like those guys who hang out on the sidewalk in front of those clubs in Tokyo where lonely women pay them money just to talk to them.

The last FF I liked was 10.
I tried the non MMORPG one immediately following it. It was terrible. Played like a MMORPG.
Then the really linear one straight after.... I never got anywhere with. Just didn't grab me.
But this one does look pretty.

I never quite understood we went from Final Fantasy III to Final Fantasy VII.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Because Nintendo of America. 3 is actually 6.

NA & RoW has the same FF1, NA's FF2 is RoW FF4, NA's FF3 is RoW FF6.

Well first impressions are that it is fun. FMVs looks really nice and the setup of having 4 guys bromancing about is quite fun. Combat is a little weird to get used to as I haven't played and FF yet with real-time combat (though I think the one option changes that?) and magic is now supported by crafted items that all characters can use.

I'm about 4 hours in and I'm pretty much still in the same small section of deserty scrub land that you start the game in. :blush:

What I liked about the previews was that it looks to be set in a modern day fantasy world as opposed to the usual medieval setting.

Best one yet, and that's saying something.
