Reminder: Final Fantasy XII Was Lame
I happened to be scanning Kotaku today and ran into this spoof from the guys at Mega64:
While I was laughing my ass of at the video, it also made me think “wait a second, why did Square even put that in the game?” Honestly, how were we supposed to care about the game with a lame main character and boring events like that? I think it serves well to sum up all that was wrong with XII’s story.
Anyway, if you’re bored you might want to check out Mega64.com. It’s basically like Jackass, but with a videogames hook. Pretty dumb humor, but funny none the less.
Did you drink a bottle of Gatorhate before you started this blog? Gaming reluctance sometimes can mean pleasant surprise right? FFXII is a great game, although absolutely ridiculous at times, scored very high on the aggregator metacritic.com. Odin Sphere is full of grinding and item management but don’t you want to see more original IPs come out and shake things up instead of Madden2050?
LOL, I don’t know how I missed this comment. Anyway, there is a whole article devoted to why I disliked Final Fantasy XII (check the RPG category). As far as Odin Sphere goes, being an original IP does not automatically make a good game; sure I’d love to see new original games, but they still need to be good to qualify for my interest.
And for the record, I actually did drink many huge liter bottles of orange gatorhate during the formative stages of this blog. During hot summer days…it’s the best.

That was pretty funny (even though i didn’t play FFXII). Thanks to you I viewed Mega64’s video of Resident Evil 4 … now that made me laugh a lot !
