Holy crap, someone else who doesn't like FFX!

Re: Drive-by comment:

Well, I mean, it sucks, so it's pretty easy.

Re: Drive-by comment:

[degreve.livejournal.com]

True that. I'm just glad to be seeing someone hating on a title other than FFVII, lol.

Re: Drive-by comment:

[terra]

It's weird and trendy to hate VII, most people don't even know why they're doing it, I think. :/

Re: Drive-by comment:

[degreve.livejournal.com]

Yeah, really. :| Most often I think it's because FFVII's popularity tends to overshadow the other titles a bit. Which, can be true in some cases but haters usually forget that most people were introduced to the franchise because of it. Despite it's imperfections, it holds a special place in my heart. <3 :D;;

Re: Drive-by comment:

It does, and some of the compilation was pretty icky but that doesn't mean the game was bad. I think a lot of it was the OLD SCHOOL HARDCORES being like "omgz FFVII sucks they're selling out!!" or something, which then got picked up by a lot of gaming websites and then became a mini-phenomenon in the whole gaming community. Which is dumb. Because that has nothing to do with the actual game, which did bring the genre to a lot of people and had to have been good at something to do that.

Anyone who likes FFX probably hasn't played it since 2002, for srs.

[jill-calico.livejournal.com]

Hooray for jfic fantasy, comics, history and jrpgs that don't suck. :3 F-friends?

Edit: OHSHIT you have Conrad's Fate in your interests yessssss.

[terra]

YESSSSS. We're clearly on the same page of the BOOK OF AWESOME.

CHRESTOMANCI REPRESENT. Conrad's Fate is the best of them too, in my opinion.

[jill-calico.livejournal.com]

I'm extremely fond of The Lives of Christopher Chant, but Conrad's Fate takes a very, very close second place. :D

[terra]

Yes, that one is also very very good. Dammit! Why must shopping in the book section for little kids be so appealing!!

[abrogate-nadir.livejournal.com]

Oh snap, may I add? I'm a big RPG and fantasy dork, myself. I may be a young un, but I've played the classics like Chrono Trigger, the early FF games, Valkyrie Profile 1 and Wild Arms 1, etc.

[terra]

NO ONE MAY ADD ME UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN GAMING SINCE 1984, SORRY!!

(Kidding.)
