See, I think that is why I was instantly turned off FFX -The stereotypical "It's aimed for chicks" notion. I'm really not interested in the whole dress spheres, complete love stpry plotline. I hate the notion of a pop-star style Yuna. Damn, give me some fighting, and keep the love story as one thread of many in the plotline.
Hmph.
Stupid stereotypical teeny bopper marketing.
*protests*

*L* If it makes you feel any better about being wrongly targeted, I am a guy who likes that it has the love story as the centeral piece. Why can't more games geared for guys have a little more romance?


PS: This is off topic, but I visited the link you offered as your homepage yesterday, but wasn't able to post in the guestbook. Nice site, though!

I am a simple fighter all the way, too. Selecting the "wait" option in the game configuration section helps it become closer to my ideal turn-based format.

Ah sweet, I always wondered if anyone ever checked those out I checked out you're DBZ site, chuckled like crazy at you're welcome note. *chuckles some more* I actually kinda went of DBZ a while agao, it took too long to get anywhere. Shame though, cos I'll admit my dorkiness and say I liked the 'eroic' fighting

I must admit that I never got into DBZ all that much either. I like a little more meat to the storytelling, you know? The site is really my girlfriend's; I just helped with the formatting and upkeep. I am more of an Escaflowne and Cowboy Bebop fan myself.

Just in case you (and others) ever look in a moment of true dorkiness for a Final Fantasy site with forums, do not go to FF Shrine. They are just plain mean there. *still licking wounds*

Ha! I actually came from one :ffaddicts.
It's actually a good forum, though the moderators are pretty hard there. But I don't mind it so much, it's kinda essential with the subject matter. there's way too many kids that come in there and just spout absolute tripe. They are really strict on using full english and punctuation, just to stop all the people using txt and 1337. But it is a good site, though I must admit I tend to hang out here a bit more these days...

I though FF-X was crap. And that FF-X2 was the crap of the previous cap. i think they tired to make sot hat they could expand their audience even more (like Square-Enix isn't big enough). And X2 had the worse out of all the ff games i've played. I didn't mind the battle system, but dresses? why couldn't they think of something better, or use the materia system. if it weren't dresses. magic fungus even would have been better. and a three person party the whole game? tsk tsk. ff 1 was better by far

I'm playing X-2 right now and I don't mind the dresspheres. It's not as girly as the word "dress" implies. It just means they can change between a warrior, white mage, black mage, gunner, songstress?, thief, and more during the fights. I just have a hard time decided which "dress" I should level up. They all gain abilities seperately. So, if you are never play anyone as a white mage then you won't learn those abilities. That's as far as I understand it anway. I'm only beginning chapter 2.

I'm still having trouble finding the connection between popstar Yuna and summoner Yuna from FFX. She didn't show any signs of being musically inclined whatsoever in X. Am I wrong? And when did guns come into the picture? Yuna never seemed the gun type. But hey, she's not my creation.

Either way... I heard a rumor that Final Fantasy XII was going to be a continuation of X. Has anyone else heard this?

I heard the same thing, but I couldn't find an official source.

I totally agree with the Yuna character change. It barely seems like her. Better storytelling would have tried to show how and why she changed in the two years between the two games. At least the voice acting for her has improved. She was suffering from a serious case of William Shatner pauses before.

LOL! I hadn't noticed that before, but yes she has gotten over it. I guess I was preoccupied by Tidus' "yeah" or "heh" or random comment at the end of every conversation.
