FF:CC?

For me FFX surpassed MGS2 in many ways. So I would consider this game to raise a few eyebrows.

I didn't enjoy MGS2 as much as I would, hopefully MGS3's story will make sense.

Nintendo always comes in numbers. Thats what brings people in.

Yeah, MGS2's story made sense, most just couldn't put it all together or didn't catch all the details or something... I remember back when the game was still fairly new there was a big topic at IGN that had a plot guide or a link to one or something and it made things more clear..

Y'know, kinda like Silent Hill... Play it once and you're like "What the fudge?" play it again and you're like "What the fudge?" (but to a lesser extent), then look at a plot guide and you're like "NOW IT MAKES SENSE! :eek: "

I read the guides afterwards, but still didn't understand it. 2 out of the 4 story guides said that there were holes in its story.

Can somebody post me the link of a story faq for MGS2? I honestly don't get half of it.

I know Silent Hill. You HAVE to read the guides to understand the story. Once u do it's awesome, but MGS2 i dunno

Nintendo will NOT show anything of the new Zelda. I mean TWW and SC2 are enough Zelda.

GameKinG is right, Nintendo usually has a lot of good games. They don't always NEED one topper. They're Nintendo, they have the franchises and that is often enough.

But IF they have a real topper to rival Halo 2 or MGS3, it would be form one of the silent 2nd party developers.

Oh yeah, Lionhead is working on an exclusive GC project.

I hope it didn't... MGS2 will be my next game.

FFX is cool and all, but there is somthing about the charicter models that piss me off.

Last night I saw the Yuna/Tidus kiss part, and I think it was horible how they made the swicth between real time visuals and that over-detailed FMV.

Also, Tidus as a real time guy looks and sounds like he's american, then in the FMV it reminded me that I was playing a japanese game. I dunno, I guess I don't like the transition.

If FF:CC could stack up to FFX, it will be a show-stopper for it's FMVs alone. But judging from the early pics, I just can't see the realism of the Ps2 game.

I just said it did

I liked MGS2, but for some reason FFX satisfied me more overall. With the sidequests, story, FMV, and gameplay. As DH would say that's just me though

It's worth buying and playing for sure, but it all ended up being really confusing for me at the end, to the point where there were too many twists to the story. Kind of just made me give up and finish it straight off, without worrying about the story. If anyone has the time to write a brief summary of the story and how it made sense, or point me in the right direction of reading about the story, I'd be much appreciative. And I'd play it again with that in mind.

I won't spoil anything for The Game

, but yeh you should play it. It's a worthy purchase of course, but FFX as a game totally blew me away.

Oh yeh, about the Japanese looking Tidus in FMV, I totally get what you're saying. It would have been better if he was less Japanese looking, but apparently they wanted an "Asian" look to the game. Not just Chinese/Japanese, but all of Asia.
