Re: Games Discussion Thread
I've only ever played I, II, VII, IX (maybe 20% into it right now), and XIII.
I have to say that I like them all, and although VII is far too overhyped, it's not a bad or mediocre game at all. It actually does have its own unique charm as much as I hate to admit it.
IX is superior to it though. Just all around better. XIII is...interesting. A rough reboot of the franchise, if you will. Not bad, not terrific, and certainly very polarizing for long term fans. I for one do like it because of the risk it takes in overall design, even if the gameplay does slightly suffer for it by being linear. The illusion of freedom in the older games during their main quests justifies this change however.
