    Oh, yes, the whole "It's Japanese Star Wars" deal.

    It's not as bad as Eragon, but it is noticable.

    Japanese Star Wars? Barely.

    It's the furthest thing away from star wars that I could even imagine. Disgaea 3 is closer to "Japanese Star Wars" than FFXII is.

    ^^^^ Who doesn't like Star Wars? D:

    Not saying FFXII is a blantant rip-off but there are similarities. I could make a list though.

    Inkblot: Go with XII first. An amazing game on every level, and it gives you the most bang for your buck, too.

    There's a lot of similarities between anything and Star Wars.

    If it has an empire, a team of people, a han solo,a knight order, unexplainable power and sword-like weaponry.

    Elec:XII bored the shit out of me within 30 minutes of playing.

    Well, it was a combination that Star Wars coined, after all.

    Fran is the sexiest Chewbacca ever!

    Does the name itself matter at all for Final Fantasy?

    Did it ever matter at all?

    Eh, a lot of stuff that SW uses was in Kurosawa movies anyway. I was just kidding anyway.

    Although there are a lot of similarities between SW and FFXII:

    - Kid who lives in a desert city? Check.

    - Kid wishes to leave so he can sail the stars sky? Check.

    - Kid meets Loveable Rogue and his pet that help them do it? Check

    - Do they meet a princess who is instrumental to help the revolution against the empire? Check

    - Do they rescue her? Check

    the only one who really doesn't fit the model, I think, is CAPTAIN BASCH FON RONSENBERG OF DALMASCA. Hell, the judges are just twelve Darth Vaders, man.

    ^Square Enix was going to file for bankrupcy and that was their last game. But it was so succesful that it kept them afloat.

    After XII go with IX. IX is fantastic too. 

    VII has aged REALLY badly but it's a good game at it's core and is worth playing just to provide better appreciation for the impact it had on the industry. 

    VIII is fucking garbage and you should stay as far away from it as possible. 

    X has a solid battle system and good story, but it's sidequests are filled with nightmarishly awful minigames and the endgame really starts to drag after a bit. It's definitely worth playing and beating, but not worth 100%ing.

    I think it says something about the industry and consumers when we've got more than one game called "Final Fantasy".

    I mean, ignoring the quality of the games either way.

    Couldn't there be a different name?

    But Chewbacca isn't a limber 32C bunny girl with an amazing ass, outfits that would make her freeze to death on Mt. Bur Omiscace, and has a semi-brazilian accent.

    ^^^I don't like what you said about VIII but I agree to your right to say it, good sir.

    He should damn well be.

    Anyhow, go for FF7 to 9, starting with FF8: it's modernish feel and lack of an escalating plot until very late in the game is a nice change of pace from most JRPGs.

    But MadassAlex, I don't like my bunny girls braiding their ass hair. I just don't.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    It's just that the Japanese like their Chewbaccas more womanlike.

    But really, Fran and Balthier's bond is incredibly similar to Han and Chewie's.

    Try it before you deny it, Vorpy.

    What about Penelo, the most unimportant character of them all, who doesn't even GET a backstory or a supplemental role in the story except for being captured by Ba'Gamnan?

  • CaptainFargleCaptainFargle
    You know, while I agree that Penelo is completely fucking pointless and has no reason to be in there except to fulfill gender quotas she's still better than fucking Rinoa. 

    Rinoa = Worst FF character ever. 
  • The_EdgeThe_Edge

    ^Worst than Tidus? At least Rinoa didn't have a voice.

    Eh, nothing's worse than the fucking Red Mage, bro. All red and shit.

    Rinoa is cute though.


    I still want to play FFVIII though, because the enemydex looks interesting.
