| An FF9 Mini-review, spoiler-less. |
|
This letter is in response to the letter that you titled "All I gotta say
is, chill out, hombre." As is already the case, it seems that gamers who
have only seen a small piece of a game, maybe a short review or a couple
screenshots, are already criticizing it.
Since the Final Fantasy series is so popular and well known it isn't that
surprising people are rushing to judgement about it, but I do want to stand
up in defense of it.
Just a few days ago, I beat Final Fantasy 9 (and yes, i know Japanese). The first thing I have to say in defense of the game is that the storyline is definitely not "cartoony." While Square has returned to more old-fashioned, unrealistic characters, this really had no impact on how I, at least, felt about them. The character development is definitely some of the best since the days of Final Fantasy 4 with Cecil and his crew. The story itself actually puts the characters through some of the most anguishing events and conflicts in Final Fantasy's history. The storyline is very mature and and is not made "childish" or "cartoony" because of the more fantasy-oriented character designs. So I just wanted to let everyone know to definitely try out Final Fantasy 9 when it is released in America this November. The game does a fantastic job of joining together the best of "old-school" RPG characterization and story with the best graphics and sound the Playstation can produce. Thanks for reading. --gainaxotaku2 |
