Off the top of my head...
- Shadow Hearts: From The New World
- Devil May Cry 2
- Final Fantasy X-2
1) YES
2) HELL YES
3) SO CLOSE... BUT NO.
FFX-2 was a good GAME... just not a good Final Fantasy, and was a sequal to a game that didn't need one.
OT: Metroid Other M. I lost what little respect I had for Team Ninja that day.
I beg to differ, I want to accept that Final Fantasy X-2 had good gameplay (re-imagening of the job-system), but NOT that it was a good game. Why?
- Major rehash of graphics: copy/pasting characters, enemies, areas, etc.
- A terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE story! And this includes the story itself, character development (if any), lame new characters, needlessly screwing around with elements set up in Final Fntasy X and having a wrong Charlie's Angels kind of atmosphere.
- Forgettable music (although many FF-titles seem to suffer from that nowadays...)
- Lame mini-games (they ruined blitzball and that game with the coins wasn't on par with the card games of Final Fantasy VIII or IX).
- No summons. (Okay, this is really subjective, but dammit, I wanted to see new aeons!)
And I'm probably forgetting some other stuff. On the other hand... It's really all just opinions, isn't it? But hey, just wanted to throw that out there.
