Fuck that. I want to have my fuckin' citizens fuck fuckin' sheep so that I can fuckin' rule over fuckin' sheeple dammit.

I will admit though that the 3D does help a little despite it not really looking any better than the original. Plus I bet the interface will be significantly overhauled like DQV's was which will probably help a lot in this version.

Some details are beginning to emerge on the game. The most noticeable thing right now though is the fact that the game will have four protagonists for you to play as with each having their own story.

PS1 was more Sci-Fi than any of the SO games.

Early on it sucks to WM due to survivability and damage output. However that all changes later in the game when you're rezzin and healing each other and throwing the occasional status spell if it comes to it. BMs on the other hand have less durability and are not able to care for themselves nearly as well. Especially later on since you only have potions to rely upon for all your healing (and they suck). Also BMs have terrible equips and physical stats throughout the game leaving magic as your sole method of damage. Even BBs by end game turn into walking juggernauts thanks to their hilarious strength and the cart full of potions and tents that their trucking thanks to having nothing else to buy.

That said. I've beaten the 16th story mission in FFTA2. It's hilarious to think that I'm at the end game level and the game finally remembers that this game needed a plot. Of course I have invested 0% of my interest in this plot due to, well everything about it.

As for DQVII I'm at Orph in the present. I ended up totally punking Deathpal due to misremembering why he's such a bitch to beat (no magic and his ability to take two actions per round isn't as big of a deal as I thought when you're level 10 and equipped to the max). Oh well, next up is Falrod which also tends to be irritating and then it's nothing but smooth sailing till Dharma (which also sucks but for different reasons).

M&L3. Hands down.

Gentlemen. Let us end this silly derail about why Capcom should be making BoFVI instead of this game and return this thread to it's intended purpose of discussing why Capcom should be making Command Mission 2 instead of this game.

There is a part where you're going through a city that's turned onto it's side during the Babel Tower run. Other than that you can spin the camera around just like you can for most of the game.

As for the sewers I didn't have too much trouble or find it that annoying. But then its not like I was running through them just so that I can look for a key to get to the other end of the sewers to have a meaningless conversation with some self important bum just so that I could pass the time like some ADD laden kid.

Downloaded and played some Tales of Monkey Island for free yesterday. Too bad my computer is a piece of crap (and this is an upgrade to an even bigger piece of shit too). Issues aside, I just need a light and I'll be done with the pirating around business around Flotsam Island (the first time around).

Otherwise its been a bit of DQ VII here and a touch of FFTA2 there with some solitaire on the side.

Going there. Doing that.

I hope to god it is.

Great. Yet another game I can't afford due to all the games coming out this month. :(

And I wanted to taste the painbow too. ;_;

My earlier point is that there was animation. Just not where you were looking.

The other point I was trying to make is that few RPGs prior to FFVI showed both sides of the fight compared most RPGs back in the day that took the Wizardry approach of a first person view only. No party members to look at. Hence the example of PS3 which has no in-battle character sprites and ugly enemy design yet just the slightest amount of animation for each monster. To say that PS3 is a better looking game than FFVI is hilarious.

Also you mentioned Shining Force ][ as superior looking game than FFVI. I have not played SF][. However I have played Beyond the Beyond which is a later game made by the same development team on a more technologically advanced console. It looked to be about on par with early SuperNES games like Lufia 1 and DQ V (original version) with the occasional prerendered background (which looked significantly better than the rest of the game despite their fairly generic look). I doubt that SF][ looked any better (and then of course there's the fact that its a SRPG and not a regular RPG since judging FFVI purely by the lack of movement compared to an SRPG and you might as well go back to FE1 on the Famicom which predated the hell out of SF][ and is also a disingenuous comparison) which makes the comparison pretty much fail. A contemporary game to FFVI that I would definitely agree with you on its superior visual design would be Chrono Trigger.

And as I've said before the GBA version of FFVI sucks and blows balls and ass (respectfully).

Still though. I wouldn't put it past them to do something like that (either that or some kind of retarded horse armor).

That announcement was some ham!

That said, I'm probably going to go for the Wii version on the principal of needing something to play on it.
