>more laguna stuff
opinions are like assholes m8... they stink and everyone has them. I would take out the Laguna "gaming parts" interventions completely. Everytime the game shifted to that, I pic related. If they were gonna tell the Laguna story, then make it just that, a story which you learned about by talking to NPCs or read about while on your journey. Not even the fact that certain things Laguna does in the past, affect the present landscape saved it for me.

Well anyway, I played the game twice, more than I played any other FF cos they're not my thing, and I haven't played much (VI,VII,VIII,IX), except "tactics" which is my favourite. My thoughts:
>flow of the game breaks at every corner
The Laguna scenes break it, having to build 3 GF "profiles" and swap them around all the time break it, having to work with the inventory system, which is limited for being a console game, break it (the game would've been better on a PC interface with a mouse and folders, search functions, etc)
>story seems to be a great idea which never got polished
Many things seem too contrived and rushed. I like the story line personally, but the way it got delivered makes me feel as if the creative team had this great idea and they didn't have time enough to ellaborate and work with it to make it spectacular. It turns out to be too much, in a mess, and I lost interest past the half of the game, unlike VII, where the story and how it was told was what made me carry on playing.
>Characters have no identity and everything seems as if it was a satire out of western culture.
The satire works in "tactics", here it makes you cringe. Beside that, returning to the GF profile issue, you could build a fighter profile with GFs and junctions and swap around between Selph, Squall, Quistis, who gives a fuck... Limit breaks differentiate them, though, but that isn't enough to give them an identity. Building actual stats is a chore, that even the more patient players will despise.

If pacman was such a good game the sequel would have been called Mrs. Pacman...
