Hi i was browsing for pictures today and found this website http://www.warmech.net/special/awards/awards.html
about the worst and best games, mini-games, music etc do you guys agree?

Denny

That website is terrible. The arguments aren`t even thought out. FF9 in third place for worst music? Ridiculas.

KillerZ
08-19-2005, 12:55 PM
yes i thought the same they also put blitzball as a worse minigame than chocobo hot and cold and the best final fantasy game as ff4 and worst ff7

Music: I didn't agree with any of that, really, but music is personal.
Graphics: agree 100%
FMV: agree mostly
Story: FFVII should've been down there instead of VIII, and I thought IV was better than II, otherwise I agree.
Battle System: I wasn't that amazed by FFX's system (sphere grid is TERRIBLE)... and I like II's system a lot. :/
Entertaining: I'd say VI deserves that more than X (because the sphere grid was TERRIBLE and made playing a pain), otherwise I agree
Male Character: Replace Cait Sith and Edward with Cloud and Sephiroth plz
Female Character: Tifa doesn't deserve to be anywhere near the best one. :/ And how is Celes not up there? Selphie and Aeris and Rikku/x-2 rikku and X-2 Yuna should be in the worst category.. hmm...
Villain: Personally I'd say: Best: Kefka/Kuja/Sin, and Sephiroth definitley deserves worst villain
Summons: sure
Art: sure
sequal thing: sure
Linear: XI was less linear than X-2, as it had no storyline or anything to stray from. Otherwise, I agree.
Boss: sure
Mini-games: I found playing memory or whatever you want to call it in FFII more fun that chocobo hot and cold. But, since there's nothing else really good enough to replace Chocobo hot and cold, whatever. Otherwise, I agree.
overrated/underrated: agree 100%
Sequels thing: No, no game deserves a sequel. They all wrapped up, and X-2 shouldn't have happened.
Shouldn't be a part: agree on XI, and VII and VIII are fine in the main series.
Mostwanted/leastwanted: Sure
Best/worst port/remake: sure
difficulty: VII was way easier than VI.
"Side quest games": I thought CC was horrible, and FFT wasn't all that bad. Other than that, I mainly agree... they weren't hard enough on T:A, though.
Best/Worst game: I think VI was more deserving than 1, and XI was worse than 8, otherwise I completley agree.


That's not something I'd call terrible...

I can'nt say I agreed with some of the areas on this site.

I would have said that FF7 was one of the better Final fantasy (but thats only my opinon). I agreed that X2 is probably the worst game because of its storyline and the way the characters act.
But I have to agree with Mr WrongPants and say that 6 is more deserving than 1 when it comes to the best game.

Desert Wolf
08-19-2005, 11:40 PM
Dont agree with much he said.How could he say FF7 was the worst?X-2 wasnt as good as the others but I still think its good.Blitzball is one of the best mini games.Chocobo hot and cold is brilliant but thats about all I agree on.Idiot. >:O

WOW! Did you guys check out the beta screens on his website, i nve never seen the FF7 ones before! awesome!


I disagreee with a few things on that site.

1. Ultros is in no way the worst villain, it's refreshing to have a comdey villain to lighten the air considering most main villains bring about doom and gloom.

2. FF7 can't possibly have the worst graphics, they are on par with 8 and 9 i'd say. besides you can't compare games from 8bit generations all the way to 128bit and pc versions. They shouldnt have even had a best graphics section.

3. FFX is quite a challenge compared to say FF7 which isn't mentioned there

4. Surely FF8 has one of the weakest musical scores? and why is FF6 in the runners up for worst music?

5. And sin r teh suck.

Best Music:FF8 deserves to win this, it's music is superb

FMV's:A toss between FFIX and FFX I think.

Best story: Defo FFVI.

Best battle system:Agree with the site, in fact FFX-2 battle system almost saves it from mediocrity(almost).

Most entertaining:FFVIII or FFX.

Best male character:Auron for sure.

Best female character:Toss between Celes and Dagger.

Worst male character:Quina, no contest

Worst female:Rikku, so irritating.

Best villian:Kefka for sure.

Worst villian:Seifer, so over-rated.

Coolest summon:Bahamut.

Worst summon: Carbuncle.

Toughest Boss:Ozma weapon

Worst:Yu Yevon

Best mini-game: Triple Triad

Worst mini-game: Lightning dodge(wtf was up with that?)

Most over-rated:FFVII or FFX-2

Most under-rated:FFVI or FFIX

Hardest:Nono of them.

Easiest:FFVIII.

Best FF:FFVI.

Worst:FFX-2 or FFVII.

The problem is, that the website is comparing the games to now. When each of them came out, them games were all the best in the category. You can't compare FFX graphics with FFII graphics. It's just not a fair comparison.

I can't disagree more with that website.

He was comparing them to "at that time."

And no way in hell did FFVII have "the best in the category" when it was released. VII's graphics were, and still are, worse than VI's.

VII isn't overated. Most general gamers, picked up FF7 and loved it. They are not true FF fans. Obviously there are alot more general gaming fans then FF fans. So it is just a game loved by general gamers.

The reason saying "FFVII" is the best is not because of fanboys. Well, yes, it has something to do with that, but more with the fact that it's really not the best.

It's statements like "Best villian: Sephiroth FFVII(Seems a little cliche to choose him but his emotional disconnection from the cast made him an enemy that was simply pure evil, and couldn`t in any way be changed)" that don't help your cause.

I won't even get into how every character in FFVII was emotionally disconnected, but Kefka, for instance, fits your description. So does Ex-death from FFV.
I fail to see how Sephiroth, with his large amount of angst and devotion to his mother is more evil than Kefka, who actually did obtain his villainous goals.

Well i can`t really speak for FFVI because i never really connected with it. Anyway, what i meant about Sephiroth was that i found him very ominous, it was almost a fear of the unknown because before the last disc, you were pretty unaware of what he can do. But hey, difference of opinion.

I disagree with most of it, especially the best and worst music part. Final Fantasy VIII had NOWHERE NEAR the best music. It just droned on and on and on. Sure, there WERE memroble tunes, but when listening to other FF games BGM, FFVIII music sounds shit. Final Fantasy VI had the best music, and this is not a personal opinion. It is true and you can't deny it.

KillerZ
08-21-2005, 11:48 AM
Also in the music section and so on they dont compare the music they compare the system the music is on .

(in the graphics section it can be understood)
