I disagree with that I think it has plenty of substance.

I just looked up the chapter 12 intro cutscene, but I'm really hoping this isn't the one you guys are talking about. It's just a really ugly version of the motorcycle chase from FF7 AC, but without all the good parts.
If this...abomination is considered a high point, then I'm so glad I don't have the patience to play past the first 15 minutes or so.

If you think those two scenes are anything alike... /facepalm
Have to agree with this. I wouldn't even consider them any way alike. >.>

FFXIII has a major roll in technology and machinery. It only makes sense that the summons are all mechanical. Unlike other Final Fantasies that had futuristic stuff but still was somehow in the past, this one looks all futuristic.
I'm sorry folks, but being an FF fan since age 7, number thirteen simply cannot compare in terms of overall quality to everything prior to 10.

In FFXI if you position your camera behind you and garuda, while garuda is right beside you, if you kinda tilt the camera down so it zooms in on garuda you can see a kinda outline of her.... well.

My personal taste diagram for FF:
1-9
10
11 & 12 (even though it was simply Star Wars put in FF)
13
1-9
10
11 & 12 (even though it was simply Star Wars put in FF)
13
Just so I get this straight...
This is the cutscene we're talking about, right? Other than the boring looking Gilgamesh in the beginning, and the crowd gasping at the stupid *** gay Seifer guy's arm, it's almost identical to the motorcycle scene in Advent Children, except much less visually appealing and much more disappointing.

I disagree with the 12 picture, I barely place it above 13 tbh. I really hated that ***. You take a good thing like FF's classic battle system and change it up, nothing good can come of it.

Yep 6 is my fav^^
Ok so it doesnt beat 6 but it's hard to compare the two, they are a generation apart, one from a time when games were made to be good and another from a time where games are made to look good and bring in money, also remember Squaresoft made 4,5,6 before they became the train wreck that is Square Enix.
That being said I really did get so drawn into the story and the dramatics, it managed to provoke many emotions from me that not many games have the ability to do these days.
Iunno jus think it's a beautiful game and an accomplishment for SE. Brilliant plot that for once does not revolve around the crystals lol, bloody excellent acting that made me believe in what the characters were going through, great character development, you could really feel Sazh's pain for instance about his son.
Maybe it's just me :3
I guess the reason I mostly like 12 was for the mechanics were so much like 11. It felt like a single player version of 11, and it deviated from the recycled theme of romance for once which was nice. Also it was Star Wars in FF.... I couldn't help but like it, even if the specific reasons beyond that escape me.
Oh, and the music. Of all the things they totally butchered in this game, the music is definitely the biggest letdown and main reason I will never ever play this game again.

That's what I don't understand. FF12 felt NOTHING like FFXI to me as far as controls. Nothing at all. It was totally different and gaysexual. It was no where NEAR as refined as FFXIs controls. It may have LOOKED similar due to the sluggish walking, but in all honesty it's just normal FF series walking but IN battle instead of just outside. It felt totally different to me.
I love The Sunleth Waterscape. =/
I disliked 12 also. It did have some genuinely cool moments, like fighting that King Behemoth, and uh...
...
...
Fighting that King Behemoth.

Ent... You really sure about that?

Ent are you crazy the music was great ^-^
You guys need to remember this is next generation FF, you can't downrate it against what it once was, that's not a fair comparison because all the Squaresoft produced FF games were a masterpiece in there own right.

I guess if I had to give one specific reason for loving 12, it was the fact that they included plenty of lore and allusions from previous final fantasies. It made me very sad to see some nearly completely ignore cactuars, moogles, tonberries, chocobos, etc.
I just felt like this had a grand sense of familiarity to it, combined with vast exploration and a story off the beaten path of what has been followed so many times otherwise.
