Please tell me you're kidding me! As interesting as the battle styles were, Square Enix RUINED final fantasy starting with this game. Viva la Final Fantasy IX!
haha im not kidding its awesome im so far in it too. But FFXIII is by far the best then second FFXII
Not... joking? Have you played Final Fantasy IV and VI-IX yet? That, my friend, is how Final Fantasy is meant to be! XIII is ok, it has a decent storyline (better than XII at least!) but totally nixed the battle style, as well as the level up style, and is continuing the awful tradition of having only weapons and accessories as equipment. It also makes gameplay way too linear for the most part, not letting you have anything optional until you reach gran pulse, and it's still limited there. Another big problem is the overpoweredness of the monsters, since it doesn't matter how much of your party is alive. It's game over when the leader dies, not the entire party (even XII did better than that, if your 3 characters were defeated, you could switch to your reserve 3). When the party first lands on Gran Pulse, some of the enemies are literally capable of one hit KOing you!
Fail Square Enix, Fail.
Legend of Zelda is great, though I still prefer twilight princess because it has everything we know and love, plus more, not to mention gorgeous graphics. True, graphics aren't everything, but with TP's great gameplay, its double the awesomeness!
Emulators are fine IMO, since they let you play games on outdated consoles that are hard to find. How many people can still switch to their N64 to play Legend of Zelda?
