Final Fantasy Fans Boo Xbox 360 at London Event

[Foxtrotk72]

Sheesh, that gives a bad reputation to Final Fantasy fans. What's wrong with the idea of the 360?

I agree some fans are probable blind just because Final Fantasy was on the PS2 and other consoles, to me there a bunch of idiots. I like the game but having a PS3 and Xbox 360 its hard to say which console i should get it for but the game play is going to be the same maybe.

 

[Johnmw]

The sheer idiocy of fanboys (and fangirls) never ceases to amaze me.

I believe the term today is "FanPeople"

Can I coin the term Fantards? I think it neatly sums them up. Seriously, how is allowing more people to play a game (possibly becoming fans in the process) a betray of fans?

 

[paragon1]

Me as the announcer: "Really? Ok, fuck it. It's mine!"

*leaves with Xbox bundle*

I like the way you think.

OT: There are many things in this world that deserve the rage of assembled peoples. This is not one of them.

 

[FloodOne]

Hah, that was kind of funny.

Everybody up in arms over people booing something you like. How do you survive when someone boos your favorite sports team? Do you all race to the internet and ***** about that too?

Lighten up.

 

[aPod]

Who cares what otaku-tards think? "oh noes, teh xoboxe is not japanese >_<"

Haha... i think this was it.

I wish i was the bouncer there aswell, i would have hoped they rioted so i could drop them too. Idiots.

I was to young to know, but I'm curious how the Final Fantasy transition from Nintendo to Sony was taken. Were there boo's at the mention of Sony when Final Fantasy 7 was initially unveiled? (Remedied of course by FF7 being a super success!)

I boo the 360 because it's poorly constructed and designed to be a profit machine almost moreso than a gaming machine. Not because it can play a game that's license used to be be one one platform alone.

I'd boo you for being an ignorant fanboy but there we go.

 

[Spirultima]

Oh, right. Fanboys. Logic does not apply here.

Hypocritical statements for the win.

I have a very good reason for disliking FFXIII on the 360.

Spoiler

We as PS3 owners lost out because of you 360 owners.

No... we didn't?

FF13 looks pretty damn fine running on my PS3, bro. We didn't lose out at all.

Looks fine, plays fine, is fine (Aside from it being rather linear).

But it was suppose to have more on it, but due to it being on the 360 as well, some of the stuff was cut from the final release.

 

[Spirultima]

By that logic shouldn't you hate Sony equally for not holding onto a potential exclusive? I think that's what I find confusing about the whole situation, even if you ascribe to the PS3 version being dumbed down for the xbox360 - why is there no fan hate directed towards Square-Enix and Sony?

Good question, yes I am annoyed that they did, but not as much as I am annoyed with Microsoft.

 

[matrix3509]

Yes, how DARE you let other people play my Final Fantasy games!...pricks.

 

[Greeboz]

are they perhaps booing because they believe FF has been dimmed down for the 360, something I still don't know is true or not?

No, I'm more than 2/3 through the game now and I don't feel as if I could have gotten more on the PS3. Maybe if I did buy it for the PS3 my battles would look a little nicer but when it comes to visuals in Final Fantasy it's all about the cutscenes and they do not disappoint.

 

[Scrythe]

If Final Fantasy fanboys and Xbox fanboys were in the same room together, the resulting mudslinging would be hilarious.

But considering that neither of them leave the house that often, I suppose the internet is a suitable substitute.

 

[benbenthegamerman]

This kinda makes me ashamed of being a fan of the PS3...

Any Wii-players care to hang out while the 360 fans and the PS3 fans duke it out in the streets?

You rang Hubilub?

Quick! To the Wii-mobile!

*dudududududududududududududududu*

Holy Ninja Bread, WiiMan!!! Its your arch-nemesis, Tehardcorezmcstereotype!

 

[Logic 0]

They booed him because FF13 was suppeded to be a PS3 exclusive which microsoft paid a lot of money to port it to the 360 which is a inferior verson of the PS3 verson for the reasons of increased loading times, dimished graphics,and it is on two disks while the PS3 verson is on one disk, and the lack of 360 fanboys there is because they hate JRPG's.

Sorry the rant guys I just needed to say that.

 

[The Great Zegrool]

So wait, they get FF13, and a free console?

Damn, they're idiots.

 

[Spirultima]

Seriously? You're posting this? Well whatever.

Yup, your full of it.
(No I'm not.)
((Yes, yes you are))
You assume we only bought the PS3 because of Final Fantasy?
(No, but for an SE fanboy, I'm sure it was a major factor.)
((Actually no, 51% of it was because I've always loved Sony, but yes i guess 5% goes to FFXIII))

NOW.

You also assume were angry because its on 360?

We're freakin' angry because when it was put on the 360; Square Enix had to work to both consoles power, ergo the PS3 losing out.

Read that. Then read it again and think about what you said. We're not angry because it's on the 360, we're just angry because it got released on the 360. The 360 isn't a bloody Atari Jaguar, it can handle the same amount of gameplay as a PS3 game, it just has to be put across multiple disks to handle the space. I'm talking about the game itself of course. The graphics, the audio and things like that are better on the PS3, I've seen them side by side. So please tell me, what exactly are you missing?

(Yup, I can read it all day and get the same answer; I don't mind the 360, I have little love but live and let live, so just because its on the 360 doesn't make me hate it, I don't hate Halo because its on the 360, I don't like it because single player is terrible. My point being, I don't hate the 360, I hate the suits behind FFXIII's existence on the 360.

Disks are irrelevant, it contains roughly the same data so it doesn't matter. As i've mentioned about 3 times in this thread alone, because it was ported to the 360 some parts were cut out, admittedly it was partially a time thing as well)

(Oh and for the record, any Final Fantasy fan worth their oxygen doesn't count FFXI as an actual Final Fantasy)

That wasn't my point. The point was that SE were proving that they were willing to develop FF games on both consoles and weren't sword to Sony anymore.

It was solely both consoles, how come it is also on the PC?

When FFXI was released, having a subscription MMO on the PS2 would just be silly, so they put it on PC and 360, money thing im guessing.

 

[KAPTAINmORGANnWo4life]

Even if you're an idiot to the point of actually hating a console, you can't honestly be dumb enough to turn down a prize worth hundreds of Pounds.

And what exactly am I fan of? Quality hardware? Something that doesn't break, or at least, has some lasting value to it? I didn't even say what system I prefered. I think you're making a few to many ignorant assumptions. So take a few steps back. Use your brain, for a change.
