I never really played many Enix games, but then I can't think of too many of their games off the top of my head. I am a big Final Fantasy fan, and a big Legend of Mana fan, as well as a Chrono Trigger fan. I have played every FF released since X, and I have liked them all (yes,I even liked the girly X-2, it had a pretty good story...plus, the freaking Yuna as a Flower of DOOM, and paine with armor made of blades were pretty damn cool). I have also played a lot of the older FF's, like VII and IV and Tactics. As far as I'm concerned, they are just getting better. The new ATB combat system in X-2 is very nice. It adds a lot of challenge to battles and fits in well with the change-on-the-fly job-class system. Just wait until Bweep wakes up and sees this post. He's a real Square enthusiast--heh, sounds like its the sixties in Britain.

As for RPGs, I'm heading to Wal Mart right after work today to pick up a XBox and a copy of Fable. I just hope I can find a copy of Fable, since I've already tried one wal mart and they are all out.

I have, however, noticed some really sub-par titles coming out of what is now Square Enix. Like Drakengard. Should have been great. It was just ok. I think maybe they are trying to expand their influence beyond their well-known franchises. Bad idea, says I. Stick with tried and proven technique, and don't fix it if it ain't broke.

legend of mana eh? don't you meen secret of mana................

[MinisterofDOOM]

Yeah...look its early and I'm more than half asleep ok?

[w1ngzer0]

lol well wake up you lazy bum!

I agree that Old Square was great. I miss game like Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, All of the FF (SNES & GB). Mystic Quest was OK. Only thing better with the new Square is graphics. Enix...hmmm, I think I played some from them. I think Lufia, what else. Orge Battle was good.

I don't play much video games anymore though. But didn't Square and Enix merge anyway?

[nametakennow]

Star Ocean: The Second Story (old PS1 game) owns any FF game I've played... I still have yet to finish SO2 cause I got lazy... apparently there's a new SO, finally... anyways, yeah, just had to chuck that in (SO is an Enix project, fyi).

[w1ngzer0]

yep thats right Enix did that. the new one is really good i hear. I don't own a ps2, or gamecube, or regular ps, or gameboy becuase UPS stole my ****.

[base9se]

So what you got SNES? or Xbox? or Dreamcast?

[w1ngzer0]

Dreamcast,computer, and snes .... well thats if my brothers sold the snes.............................................. They better not or im killing them

[base9se]

Can't beat the good old Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, & FF III on SNES. I d/l some emulators of these games and they're just not the same. It sucks cause I sold all those games for 27-35 bucks a piece on ebay. I regret selling those games. Still have my SNES though for my crack (Tetris Attack!).

[w1ngzer0]

you IDDDDDIOOOTTT!!! :P

Chrono Trigger new goes for 100 bux now, FF3 goes for 70 and secret of mana goes for 50. Can we say whomp whomp?

I'll be buying a sega genesis soon. I loved that system and my bro broke it >_<

And emulators are never going to be the same because a giant graphics cards works different then a computer. So the graphics and sounds are going to be crappier on a computer then a system.

[MinisterofDOOM]

AHHHHH!!!!I know what it's like to be on the other end of that. I bought the very first NES release of Metroid for $2 at an uninformed game shop. I also got the original Legend of Zelda for 50 cents at a garage sale.I looked up the price of the releaes of Metroid I have--average is $52. I have an ATARI VCS 2600 with a few games (got it at the DI for $50), an NES, an original Game Boy (bought it off some dork for $5), a Sega Genesis, and a Sega Genesis 32X--which actually works!! At least, those are my old school consoles. I think combat is just about the best party game there ever will be!!!Only older system I don't have that I wish I did is the SNES. But I have most of my favorites from that on my GBA SP (Zelda Link to the Past, all the Mario games from SNES and NES.

I'll have to check out SO: till the end of time. It must be MASSIVE, since its a PS2 game (DVD) and has 2 discs. I don't think I've ever seen a multi disc PS2 game other than SO:TET.

[nametakennow]

Shnit! 2 DVD's? WOW! I need some cash... maybe I'll get it in a little while, I haven't played an RPG in quite some time and it sounds like a good idea, get my mind off stuff...

Ahhh the Genesis...memories of my youth...

Shining Force, Phantasy Star, Snatcher (Sega CD), the Sonic games, Contra: Hard Corps, Ecco the Dolphin, and Lunar (if not already on PS)!

[jdmfreak]

Sonic > ALL

Damn I still play Sonic and Knuckles. I remember the commercial too. "Sonic and Knuckles lock on technology!"

Ahhhh...the memories.

[Jesda]

Ive got Sonic and Knuckles for Windows. I love it!

[jdmfreak]

LOL! It aint the same man. You gotta get the actual game. Then you could mix it with Sonic 1,2, and 3.

Good times.
