Back in the 90s Square had such awesome games as Final Fantasy Tactics, Brave Fencer Musashi, Xenogears, Tobal, Einhander, Parasite Eve and many many more. Today? Mostly bullcrap that milk their main franchises. They're even taking DQ and running it through the ground. Last Square game I played (Dissidia) was such a piece of feces that I stopped 4 hours into it. I just couldn't stand it.

If by some miracle of God they start making a new PROPER Einhander, I'd buy two and redeem them in my eyes. All I want to do right now is take a crap inside a Dissidia case and send it back to them.

Yes. Versus, mainly.

As much as Tetsuya Nomura annoys me, that Versus trailer gets me pretty pumped. I suppose we'll just have to see how it goes.

"Hey Jimmy do you think our fans would like a big Final Fantasy Gaiden mash-up traditional Final Fantasy game where we cram a ton of the old characters into this huge whammy... thing. And the final boss: Trance Neo Ex Omega Hyperdeath Culex?"

".... no. They want a fighting game. Just like those Castlevania kids."

I love when devs give me exactly what I want.

I think I'm getting both at release. FFXIII in particular looks pretty interesting. Maybe I'd anticipate Versus XIII as well once they release any info about it.

No Matsuno, no party.

Not in the least. I stopped caring about Square a long time ago.

Looking forward to both, although Versus looks very strange.

Square have actually gone up in my estimations since XII, which I enjoyed despite the item hunting and boring story line. I'm currently working my way through Tactics A2 on the DS which has been a nice distraction as well.

Can always relive the old days by watching terrible Hyadain videos..

We need more topics about Final Fantasy XIII.

Look, I'll post something relevant, too:

Sarcasm. This topic was here already, yet dave4shmups created another one.

...and it apparently even took you a week to remember that the old one existed. Not like that ever stops you.

If someone else wants to close/merge one or more of these topics, feel free - to put it bluntly, I simply don't care enough to bother personally.

Cyberpunk is good. But I bet they'll sneak in a chocobo or fifty somewhere.

Thread locked in favor of the one that has an ongoing discussion.

No way to merge threads with this forum software, sorry.
