FFXIII: Fanboys, Test Your Might
mcbennet | 12:45 PM on 08.05.2008 102 comments


So I keep seeing occasional tidbits of information regarding this Nova Crystalisis Faggulosis compilation that $queenix is going to crank out. FFXIII is going multi-plat, Versus isn't, Agito is for cell and psp, blah blah fucking blah.

Hey man I mean I own a lot of FF games. I'm not that much of a fanboy, though. I like them for what they are, but I won't buy a DS just to get these fucking blockhead remakes they're making for them. I won't buy useless merchandise and I surely won't cream my shorts in anticipation of this fucking stupid new grip of games that all have the "Final Fantasy XIII" logo stamped on them. Load of horse shit.

Truth of the matter is, it's a dead fucking franchise. How many times are you going to make the same fucking story. A Final Fantasy revolves around a few things: Summons, summoners, magic, good eradicating evil, rinse, repeat.

I saw some stupid imagery out of that stupid private party these Japanese idiots held for their upcoming lineup of cash cows...FFXIII's carbuncle is like a fucking bird-dog thing. Shiva is a motorcycle transformer...so dumb! Am I going to buy this game? More than likely, but here's the point I'm trying to stress.

I may be contradicting myself, but I mean to state that I have a love-hate relationship with this fucking franchise, and Square-Enix itself. In the early and late 90's, I considered Square top of the line. Things still felt relatively fresh, there were more ideas to harness, to work with..now...just..ugh.

I don't give a fuck about Kingdom Hearts. I don't like Tetsuya Nomura like that. The World Ends With You looks like one of the biggest loads of horse shit since the day after the Kentucky Derby. His imagination has been reduced to the flow of thick molasses, and the only decent shit he bangs out is when he's contracted to work up some shit for the only important title $queenix and fans really care about - the next final fantasy.
Fuck, half the shit you see in an FF game isn't Nomura's anyway...lots of team contributions going on. That guy takes so much credit for a group effort. Ball muncher.

After the pathetic attempt at the "Final Fantasy VII 10th year Anniversary Compilation", I realized my beloved RPG producer had fallen down into an abyssal crevice and plunged in to a vast sea of diarrhea complete with corn and red pepper peels.



The only thing Japan has done right in the last 4-5 years.

Advent Children was an exercise in extremes of faggotry. Dirge looked so bad I ignored it completely. Crisis Core I bought, regretted it, and realized how much I hate elements of Japanese pop culture and Tetsuya Nomura's character design. In fact, after I hacked my psp I forgot about the game completely. I've been playing PS1 and SNES games ever since. Good shit. Shit like Chrono Trigger. FFIV. You know. GOOD. SHIT.

What's to look foward to, when it comes to FFXIII and all the nuggets of shit to tumble foward, following its release? You KNOW already!!!

A rehashed story! Archetypal characters who may be hermaphrodites! 200 hours of your fucking human life, wasted on something you've played 5 times already! GROUND HOG DAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

I don't care if Versus is PS3-only! The main character looks like Sephiroth finally got a chance to slip it in Clouds butt, and a baby was produced..stupid blue haired fuck. ANOTHER BLUE HAIRED ANIME DUDE YESSSSS! OMFG HEARTS AND SHIT.
Agito! TAROT CARDS! SHIT, ARE WE ALL HIGHSCHOOL GIRLS!??!? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!

God fucking DAMNIT. I want an amazing next-gen RPG to come out. I wish Lost Odyssey was for PS3...it's probably cliche as hell but it looked damn cool. The style was great. (Takehiko Inoue, who did the manga "Vagabond")

I want some darker, more mature shit. $queenix will fail those who desire change. They will deliver fan service to otaku and all the others who don't have a solid head on their shoulders.

Myself, the only reason I hold a tiny sliver of hope for FFXIII (the main game, not the gimmicky side story filler bullshit) is because I have too many fond memories of Square circa 92-2001. Those days are over I fear, and I won't change my mind about any of this shit until I read some unbiased impressions of the Japanese version.

Until then, fluff your genitals to gravity defying hair and pics of jamie lee curtis. MMMM N MM M MM N MM MM SUGOIIIIII NEEEE!!?!?!!?




Kuwabara...Kuwabara...



PS: Here's a link to some stupid bullshit about the $queenix private party, if you don't believe me.. http://www.gpara.com/pickupnews/news/080802_sqex/

Strong opinion is strong.

And you should buy a ds for the FF IV remake.

Also, too long; didn't read
Eschatos's Destructoid Blog
It means "too long, didn't read". And as long as Final Fantasy keeps making money, there will be new ones.

You yourself likes/hates Square "I may be contradicting myself, but I mean to state that I have a love-hate relationship with this fucking franchise, and Square-Enix itself."
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
Somebody ban this moron. I can tell just from reading this that you're a close minded person. The World Ends With You "LOOKS" like shit? Well, play it and perhaps your mind could be changed. It is actually one of the most original RPGs I've played in a long time. Sure, it still has some old-school flavor, but at least they tried.
TheCleaningGuy's Destructoid Blog
I read it. It was the same recycled "square enix is the same game over and over stuff". Nothing new, looks like you took some adrenaline shots and let your tourettes fly. Well congrats, don't buy final fantasy games if they get you this worked up. Let your agression out on some classic NES action game, of a shooter, or whatever the kids are playing these days. Calm down and think before you post a rant and then accuse everyone on destructoid of loving anime. Anyway, I'm kind of hoping your hated of everyone around you drives you off of destructoid. But better blog next time, eh?
mcbennet's Destructoid Blog
EDS i think i remember you from a couple of months ago, you must be that dude who takes out all his misdirected anger on bloggers who don't belong in your warpath. go yell at your wife or some shit, fix your relations at work. opinions are opinions. blogging lets you speak your mind and if that's all i'm doing why the fuck should i be banned for it. i'm not like all these other dingleberries who are like "tldr" and say nothing constructive what so ever. i know how to fucking write cohesively. go eat your wifes shitty supper
AlucardX24's Destructoid Blog
I see I have accidentally stumbled upon Dtoid's "AOL-esque" area. I'll be on my way, then!
mcbennet's Destructoid Blog
oh boo fucking hoo i can't win with you sissies. you don't have to read my rants and i dont hate anyone i'm just bouncing back what you throw at me!!!!
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
No, the problem is that you the way you comment is so full of hate. Like you are actually at home, getting angry at us for not liking you.

You should try and respect other people's opinions. More people would respect yours if you had any kind of substance behind them, besides saying a game LOOKs like shit. I can understand you not liking a game, but you give no reasons. You're just like "this game is meh. But this other one is the tits. Blah"

You come off like a raving lunatic of a fanboy. That is all.
mcbennet's Destructoid Blog
EDS: lol it is impossible for me to be angry or to hate anyone i have never encountered in the flesh. if i met you i would probably dislike you a lot but it takes a lot for me to really feel hatred. blogs are for fast fingers and are home to witty and deranged minds. its not my fault your perspectives on reality have been domesticated by a typical adult life style. i like to rant in my personal blog space about shit that ticks me off. so when i recieve 2-5 word comments about how im a dickhead, its not that im pissed because i wanted you all to write me an essay..i'm just someone with a sailor mouth that doesn't have an opportunity to speak about games in my everyday life, so i save it for the net. FOR GIVE A NESS POLEEEZE@@@!@@
bloodylip's Destructoid Blog
Oh shit, he's bouncing it back. That must me he's rubber. And if he's rubber, we're glue. You heard it here first, dtoid. We're fucked. Everything we say is just going to stick to us. Pack it up, this guy's won.
bloodylip's Destructoid Blog
That must *mean he's rubber.

Fuck me.

This is some funny shit, like someone vomited what was in their head unceremoniously and at once onto my monitor. Comment trolling is also entertaining.

I enjoy McBennet for the simple fact that he takes the time to use periods but doesn't capitalize the next letter.

It's craaaaaaazy.

mcbennet, I have a little man crush on you now. Please don't tell anybody. xxx
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
I really don't know what to make out of all of this.
topgeargorilla's Destructoid Blog
In all seriousness, I think that FFXIII looks kinda cool. I think having a strong female lead is a neat feature that has me interested. Let's just see if they can keep the story from going insane.
mcbennet's Destructoid Blog
topgear: i agree with the female lead, even though that sounds unlike me. the last game i can think of that tried that was xenosaga...and i thought that shit was WHACK.

..xenogears, favorite rpg if not game of all time though. how's that for contradiction!
njsykora's Destructoid Blog
Welcome to Destructoid. This is called a raping. If you're going to post more GameFAQs crap like that then I suggest you get used to it.
mcbennet's Destructoid Blog
props for the relevancy oh wait there is none.

nah that's something old i never finished, using a wacom. where's your art, i'd like to see it? please share. your opinion is a pretty shitty one but i'll take it..it's not that constructive though. why do you think a 15 year old did it? i'm in my mid 20's. if you're expecting something deep, or some sort of "abstract" or "multi-tiered" fine art work..don't. i make comic books..a medium which never really took itself that seriously..or at least, shouldnt.
mcbennet's Destructoid Blog
please tell me what your idea of a good comic book or graphic novel is. i studied cartooning for four years and had professors like klaus janson and phil jimenez..i'm guessing you may know them, because it sounds like your idea of good comic art is western mainstream garbage. i have a feeling you'd mention a good title or two but you haven't given an example so what the fuck.

anyway, that kind of shit isn't bad, don't get me wrong..not visually at least. i study the greats like jim lee and john romita jr, but i could care less about the characters they draw.

your opinion isn't really that valuable to me because it sounds like you have a really narrow perspective on comic art and art in general, but i respect the mosquito bites between your legs you call a ballsack. i will continue to draw and hone my skills not just for myself, but for ignorant if not jealous individuals like yourself.

 about me

I stopped caring about Nintendo after Gamecube.
Microsoft is fine, but I prefer to wield a light and sharp katana blade.


I'm waiting for an original and exciting franchise to make me want to purchase a platformer again.


I choose immersion-factor over innovation, when I purchase a game.

And I hate media hype.


Hey,
