"Final Fantasy, hmmm, I have been playing Final
Fantasy games for quite some time now. I started with Final Fantasy
1,2,3,5,tactics,mystic quest and now 7 upon many of the disguisting
gameboy games as I am sure many of the rest have as well. But something
that I always wish would happen has yet to really ever come true. Final
Fantasy is an unbelievable epic story on a disk. It's almost as though
your reading a great book that you just cannot put down. And books like
games have sequels but the sequels are a wonderful continuation of the
prior events.(At least the books that I have read.) But not once has a
Final Fantasy game came out as a continuation of its predecessors. The
games in themeselves are all wonderful but I can only conjur a million
different ways for sequels to follow in the tracks of its priors.
Example; Final Fantasy 2 and 3. This in my opinion is the biggest jump
between any of the many Final Fantasy games. From midevil to technical!
in one jump. How, Why, and When. Why not take off of the last game and
begin a new quest. Don't get me wrong midevil or tech they are all
wonderful but why not take it further. Why not make it a long mythical
journey with thousands of feats and obsticals to overcome and many
advancements, human, and technical. New characters, new Enemies, new
journeys and quests, and an unreal,abroad world. To conquer so many quest
under one main understanding with thousnads of themes and plots would be
gratifying and a great challenge for even the best of the RPG'ers.
(Myself not included.) Final Fantasy is only at it's beginning and is in
for a wonderful future. Regardless of the way things start in 8, no doubt
I will love it as much as the others.
It was just something to ponder.

"That was a story in itself! I'm positive that Final Fantasy 8 will continue in the footsteps of its predicessors, and it will remain
like reading a book that you can't put down, as you quite rightly say. Good stuff.

"First off, i would like to see four characters
fighting at a time. With the limitations of the playstation, I don't see
this to soon. Second of all, I don't think videogaming is ready for gay
characters (sorry laguna), kids play games after all. I also want to know
why the fantasy was taken out of final fantasy...everything is bloody
technology. That is fine, but tell me you didn't get a kick out of nights
and villages and maidens, they should change the game's name to Final
Tech. More secret characters would be nice ( maybe three or four 0 If
you remember in FFVii, yuffie and vincent were sort of sesret characters,
but didn't have a damn to do with the overall story. remember the good
old days when you could have eleven or more characters in your party?
FFvii only had eight( not counting you know who). the game looks great
and I hope to see at least one more female character ( not counting laguna
and irvine ) thanks, sorry this was so long.

characters( not just cid) as a secret bonus,for example, Cloud and Red)
This would give me a good reason to actually spend time on something

never use like I found myself doing in FF7.

"I have to say that I was a little dissapointed with
FF7 since it didn't even come close to being as good as FF6's(aka FF3)
storyline.
Things that should be put in:
1. You learn and keep spells instead of in FF7 when you lost the spell
when you removed the materia.
2. Better Storyline: It explains itself.
3. Evil Boss: Sephiroth was a baby compared to the other FF's. In FF5 you
hade to fight Oblivion incarnite. In FF6 You had to fight Kefka, who was
not bent on ruling the world, he wanted to destroy everything.
4. Double Worlds: In almost every FF they had a second world. Double
worlds ruled cause just when you thought you beat the game, you find out
it was only the beginning.
5. Four player parties: When FF7 came out and i found out that they had
only three player parties i was annoyed.
6. Imps: BRING BACK THE IMPS!
7. Characters Hacing their own personal abilities: FF7 Sucked because the
only way you could give someone an ability was using materia. In FF6
people had more of a storyline because each person knew different
abilities. It gave you a sense as if the characters were almost alive.
8. Epic Storyline: In almost every FF except for 7 everyone had their own
agendas and they all had to join forces to destroy a common evil.
9. Completely different world than FF7: Don't let FF8 be XXXX years after
FF7.
10. More Characters: In FF6 you had something like 10-12 characters to
choose from plus 2 secret characters.
11. More secret characters: I want at least three secret characters for FF8
12. Secret Characters affect storyline and ending: FF7 was too linear. The
secret characters should affect the how things go int the game. For
example, Joe Shmoe would normally fall off a cliff, but if you find Bill
Black he saves Joe Shmoe, thus changing the rest of the game.
13. Lots of myseries that you never learn: I think there whould be a lot
of questions that are left unanswered,
Things that should be taken out:
1. Main Character: I believe that FF7 could not compare to FF6 is because
they focused on Cloud to much and not enough on the suporting characters.
In FF6, They developed the characters a lot more.
2. Censoring: NO MORE
!@$^$#&(*%$#
3. XXXX Weapon: No more emerald/ruby/whatever weapon. I found it just
plain old stupid. They should have made them harder to fight not time
consuming. It gave me a headache watching Knights of the round over and
over again.
5. Cameos: Please no cameos by cloud or sephiroth, Different worlds and
storylines is what made each FF different.

"You're right about Cloud taking the lime light in Final Fantasy 7, but I'm afraid Squall seems to have stolen the show in 8, or at least
Laguna/Irvine might have a big say in the scheme of things..."

"Two words: Narrative Verisimilitude.
I quivered with joy upon seeing Sephiroth's first rampage in Nibelheim.
Finally, a FF villain with a deep seated *reason* to be nasty! The elation
died down as the game's story editors thought it would be fine to keep
Sephiroth's rage non-verbal for the rest of the game. He never found that
Hojo was his father, or the truth about Dr. Gast and the ancients. All
that remained of Sephiroth was this God-like goombah we get at the end of
every final fantasy game.
What I'd like to see is more story! There should be enough stuff in the
ff8 world to fill a whole Dekology of fantasy novels (not that I'm
suggesting such a thing, but you get the idea)
And there should be something done about FF towns! In the last game, the
Shinra corporation couldn't do half its juicy atrocities if there was a
weapons shop in every town. There has to be some reason behind putting
Anti-tank guns in and old-folks resort like Mideel.

"I think you should've put better things in ff7.
The game was going well before Aeris died . She had a good relationship
with all the good characters , specialy Cloud I think she liked him and
Cloud too in the botton of his heart. sephiroth did'nt kill Aeris you did
it. Why ? you could at least put a secret to revive her. So I suggest you
could bring Aeris and Cloud back.How could Cloud be in the game well
simple just put Cloud like a secret character and aeris too . The
forgotten city don't remove it, put it in the game. when Cloud lets say he
was frozen when he was 22 years and he discovers how to revive Aeris and
then revives her in the forgotten city when they discover Aeris soul. The
story continues as Cloud and Aeris fall in love. Please don't do like
you did in Final fantasy Tactics that aeris was in another time because
she would sound like she was inmortal and don't do like you did to Cloud
to because there wouldn't be an Final Fantasy 7!

"i think an awesome idea would be a return of Aeris.
Maybe if garden was built some where near city of the ancients or if this
was some holy place like the church was in midgar you could revive her or
something.
I think the story would be really interesting if at the end, Aeris leaves
the group to reunite her self with Cloud and the gang.i also think there
should be some sort of love triangle like in fF7. I also think, it should
have a very similar storyline to FF7. I think FF7 was perfect, and if you
had Aeris through the whole the game, this game would ROCK!!!!!!

"If the game is only half as satisfying as FF7 it
will still be worth purchasing, as long as there are no showstopping
flaws... The other guy was right though, EIDOS MUST DIE! I didn't get to
play FF7 until it came out on PC, and I was impressed beyond belief. The
visuals were greatly superior due to resolution issues between
monitors/tv's, but I was lucky in that it ran the first time. The
installer was a massive piece of shit, it would not even WORK on half of
my machines, the hacked together video support was atrocious, GOD FORBID a
card doesn't support 8-bit palletized textures, which would mean that
instead of releasing it USELESS on certain cards, they would have to WORK
ON THE PORT A BIT. That was a massive piece of shit that almost fucked
over the gorgeousness inside. As for wishes, ENTERTAINMENT IS THE THING
PEOPLE!! You don't buy a game for the spoken dialogue, or texture maps,
or lightmapping, or CD count, or sexual orientation of the cha!
racters, IT HOW MUCH FUN IT IS TO PLAY! And sweet mother of god was FF7
fun to play... It's hard to remember a battle that just really really
sucked, and with the new functionality they seem to have in FF8 it will be
all the better... LONG LIVE SQUARE!

"I do not know what to really expect from final
fantasy viii, it could be an a$$ kicking game or it may be not as good as
we expected it to be. so i'm not expecting much, but i do hope for 2
things. number 1, that we will NOT see rinoa become squall and zell's
enemy just because of the possible connection with edea. she and squall
HAVE to get together in order to compensate for the disappointment on the
love story that had never went far for cloud and aerith!(yes, i actually
wished cloud and aerith had gotten together, just my opinion also, so
please do not feel that you have to defend yourself in any way ^_^)
and number 2, that IF square does decide to release ff8 for the pc, LEAVE
EIDOS INTERACTIVE OUT OF THIS!!!!! they've ruined ff7 for the pc, and it's
enough.
