The worst review in gaming history...
« on: January 15, 2008, 12:43:38 AM »
...its so bad that not only me but XT found it personally insulting.  Its a claimed retrospective review of the Final Fantasy series (among others), and it does a horrendous job.  No offense to any youngsters here but this idiot had to of been 17 yearsold--and thus has no clue on any games released before 2000.  I can't believe I wasted precious minutes reading what he said.  Read it at your own peril, I'm serious its that bad.

*thinks JCE is pissed because FF4 got a bad review*

That said, the games that got the "not worth it!" sticker were largely bad because of bad implementation. *looks at FF2, FF3, FFMQ, and FF5*

It's reasons like this is why I never read reviews, top x lists, or any other subjective stuff regarding games. :cycle:

The FFII (US) or the FF4 GBA review weren't even a third of why I thought this reviewer was a complete 'tard.  He contradicted himself on FF7, thought FF8 had a bad story (WTF?), and that SMRPG was terrible?  Those three alone made me irritated.  The rest was just icing on the cake for me, really bad review.  "Bad implimentation" doesn't and should not automatically be deemed "worthless".  And for god sakes, everyone in the history of RPG gaming will tell you that the PSP FF1/FF2 versions had better graphics than the GBA/PSX/WSC versions.  I mean its in 16:9 widescreen for christ sakes!  And I didn't feel "insulted" and "kiddie" when I got MQ for my birthday in 1992.  Infact I had a sleepover with all my friends (XT was there) and we played MQ for like 6 hours straight.  The story is good enough to warrant it a good game.  I could go on but I'm tired.

i'm pissed that he badmouthed Secret of Evermore!  "clumsy alchemic spell system"?  yeah, because characters who inexplicably have a trivial-to-refill MP fuel tank haven't been done to death, and they're all so plausible. :/  besides, this especially terse two-sentence "review" doesn't cover enough aspects of the game.

he includes Chocobo's Dungeon 2, but not the first Chocobo's Dungeon.  it was Japanese-only, but that didn't stop him from including other games (only to whine "me no understand!" about them).

A more proper responce would be a complete tear down of his illogic and pointing out what facts he got wrong.

Then calling him a fucking douchebag.

holy hell he inspires a fire within me to do something awful. FF5's job system is great, what is with this guy? he is like allergic to all things that are actually good.

EDIT:

and FF3 too? what is with this guy? I'd take FF3 over FF1 (I'm sure people will stone me for that comment)

That is indeed a really odd review.

I think he's drinkin' drain-o or something to make some of those comments.

MQ wasn't that bad, for what it is it's pretty good. Would I have rather had FF-V back then, sure, but what difference does it make now? It's all on the table now.

FF-IV advance might have been a little quirky but I can't say as I've had any real problems playing it?

And uh...Final Fantasy Adventure's real name is "Seiken Densetsu: Fainaru Fantaji Gaiden" which is "Holy Sword Legend, Final Fantasy Side Story" so it was indeed intended to be a Spin-off of the Final Fantasy world. I think that's why it has a Chocobo and an Airship in it, and as far as I'm aware moogles make their first appearance ever in this game. It just happens that Square decided to turn Seiken Densetsu into it's own series and dropped the references to the Final Fantasy series, except for the moogles.

If you're gonna do a write up like that, one might consider doing a few google searches to get one's facts straight. That and I don't think I'd put up stupid "Worth It / Not Worth It" slogans.

I'd simply do an unbiased review of the series for historical perspective, not "this game sucks" or "this game was alright" BS... Especially considering the wide range of fans of all games in the series.

Whatever...

yes it was a spinoff, but it is it's own series, I don't know why he included all those other square games with the final fantasy games, he might as well have included dragon quest.

no moogles were first in FF3.

and yes, the whole "worth it" "not worth it" is rediculous, and if you were going to make such egotistical proclamations you should do several months of research on each title and give them each a several page review, of course no one wants to spend that time and the average reader won't read it. Also I find all the games on that list at least worth one play through regardless. What a retard.
