No thanks

I know what it is, and I know a small amount about hex values. I'll keep that in mind, thanks

What's with all the hate on FFxi? >.> It's only mentioned a few times here, but I see it all the time.

It was a good game, the underlying story was that of 3 nations who came together to fight a great war. Then eventually the monsters start to rise again after hundred's of years. So they need to band together again but because of politics and just racial differences they have some animosity towards each other.

But who cares about the story, the fighting was great. Early on it's a cake walk but later on with the abilities you get, you have a very precise role in a party and it was fun as hell. Your always fighting monsters that would take you out in about 5 hits so there's that sense of looming death if your reckless. It promoted teamwork and if someone messes up, the whole party dies. This might sound bad, but most people who make it past level 50 will be good players.

There were many good battle mechanics, it had the job changing system with sub jobs (white mage/black mage, or a dragoon/samurai), crafting, tons of items, million quests, and I made some good friends.

I loved 1-6, most of us grew up with those games. Part of the reason they were good is because back then just about any idea was fresh to the person playing it and the focus was on the gameplay/story because the graphics were so low end. Now, it's very hard to come up with something original and fresh and the focus is more on graphics than before. It's not just the creators of the game, its the times we live in(It's mostly the creators though). Kids today have shorter attention spans(fact) and the companies are probably gearing their games to the new generation. Flashy and shallow wins them over, I guess. Needs more polygons!!1!1!!1

But most of us(I assume) are old-school, hardcore gamers and demand more substance and not just pretty colors. I dunno...I stopped caring about FF games after 7. Which was awesome. I played 9 just because back then I still played RPG's and it was kinda like 7 with a decent leveling system. Now..I can't imagine pouring over 80 hours into a game. Not to mention the fact that the games created these days rarely even have enough to produce 80 hours of your time, unless its just all filler.

Basically, I have given up on games in general. I don't buy games anymore, so whatever happens I won't be suckered into wasting XX amount of dollars, good or bad.

Also, it's fun to note that Final Fantasy 1 on NES was supposed to be the last game ever made by that company but because it did so well they survived and kept making them, so we can only blame ourselves xD

Why would that be a bad idea? In my game I removed all references to any RTP graphics, if that has any bearing on what your talking about.

Not having custom font wouldn't be game breaking, but I would always be disgusted that I was forced to use the default font. There has to be a way...
