needs more gravity defying hair

It is clear that Final Fantasy and Mass Effect will be forever entwined.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Believe it or not, that's not actually a staple of the series. Nor are giant swords. That association came from Cloud and VII.

Interestingly enough, the dirty futuristic look you see there also came from Cloud and VII.

Obviously.

Just checked the trivia page for Spirits Within.

The guys working on ME were big fans of the movie, so it seems it was very much a conscious decision.

I never played any of the FF games, not sure if I will. Also I have a tons of games to finish so not any time soon. So I'll avoid the flanderizations.

Which one though? I heard 9 was good but I'm not sure.

Only played a bit of VII and IX so far. Shame Square Enix didn't release another one on PC.

Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.

The only FF games I played were from the Crystal Chonicles series.

They're pretty fun, I like the little king one the best. uvu

IX is good, but it isn't the best introduction to the series. I would recommend V. Simple enough plot, fun characters, and it has a lot of gameplay elements that many of the other games in the series have. It is, in my opinion, the best FF game there is. VII is a very, very close second, but the complexity that the story has can be a little hard to get into if you don't like the gameplay first. The shoddy translation doesn't help matters.

Everyone needs to drop what they are doing right now and go play FFV.

Okay, Spaz. New game.

I name a Mass Effect character and you provide an FF equivalent, then vice versa.

I think I played FFV The After Years before

it was fun, but it got too hard for my tastes

I was ten back then, so that might've changed. uvu

Speaking of Mass Effect, I heard they're realeasing a fourth one.

For the PS 4, for that matter.

I prefer complex plots actually, I think my first JRPG was Tales of Symphonia (Although I didn't know too many English words back when I played it so I didn't know the plot at all).

@Norm: Go for it.

@Lior: Ah. In that case, definitely VII. It starts out slow, but once you get out of Midgar, it gets waaaaaaay better. (Also, I may have spoiled some stuff to hell and back for you, but since you haven't been here long, hopefully you haven't been exposed to that much.)

Don't think you did, and even if you did I probably forgot it, I have a short term memory for a lot of things.

Okay then. Oh, and... if you see something in the text that looks like English, but somehow doesn't seem quite right? It's because it probably isn't.

If you can work through that, though, the way they work in foreshadowing is actually pretty clever. There's a lot of stuff hidden in what seems like innocent (if not slightly creepy) chitchat that you don't catch the first time through.

It's for the PlayStation, so you may have to play it on an emulator.

According to the people I've asked, copies are hard to come by even in the States. I was lucky enough to find mine for fifteen dollars or something at an old game store, but copies can go for a hundred online easily just because they're so hard to find. Easier to just download the damn things.

If this article is to be believed, VII has already been re-released on PC.

They didn't update anything, unfortunately.

Nothing seems to have changed. But perhaps one day it will.

Most definitely.

Are you going to get sleep too, Spazz? I might draw Cloud for you if you get back in a few hours

depends if I'm going to be awake

I would have, but then I got into the leftover pizza.

I'll try to draw something for you in return if you do, though I can't promise it will be any good.
