It's official.
I've given up on the goddamn game.
I am giving up on a main Final Fantasy.
This is a first.
I think I'm going to break the disc to make sure I don't attempt it again either.
What a fucking terrible game.
The last Chapter 11 boss did it.
The series has ceased to resemble anything that is the player's vision and is wholely based on how the cock-sucking creators THINK people should play.
The exact breaking point was after spending 15 Godforsaken minute whiddling away at the boss' neverending life, before I even had the pile of shit halfway, he cast Doom on me.
Bull-fucking-shit.
Even when I managed to accomplish Stagger between his ludicrous spamming of Dazega, unlike all other stagger enemies, he continued his vicious attacks straight through making it impossible for me to make any progress.
"If you think about how long it's already taken to develop this game, to have to have included all of those other aspects, it would have been too long. So what we did instead was define what was truly important to the game, and include those aspects and really emphasize those items we wanted to include. We had to consider the amount of time it took to create the game engine, which we built from scratch, as well, and so with that additional time included we had to decide what we could and couldn't do."
Said Director Ching-chong Me-Hava Tini-Penis
Apparently what they couldn't do is MAKE THE GAME FUN
I was almost completely ready to forgive the 30 hours of horse shit when I stepped out into the field.
But what's this????
87% of the creatures here are too tough for me? Well okay, I guess I'll go to the town! Finally a town! Oh Jesus, back into more fucking tunnels.
OH! I'm out of the tunnels! Yay! Oh…now I'm in some goddamn caves.
OH! Now I'm out of the caves and.....I'm into a goddamn repeating sprite tower with shitty music and huge corridors.
And instead of fun games or tasks, what do I get?
FIGHT MORE SHIT TO PROCEED!!!!! GEE GAME! THANKEES!!!! NOT LIKE THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING FOR 30 GODDAMN HOURS!!!!!!!!!!
Finally the boss....a 20 minute long boss that I had to fight TWICE because I proceeded without picking up the catalogue item AND WITH SO MANY GODDAMN SAVE POINTS LITTERED EVERY TWO FEET I HAD GOTTEN SO USED TO NOT SAVING BECAUSE OF THE RETRY FUNCTION I RESTARTED THINKING I HAD A SAVE AFTER THE BOSS AND I DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY THE TOWN! YAYohfuck….
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!??????
NOT ONLY IS THE TOWN IN THE SHITTER IT'S LITERALLY OVERFLOWING WITH THOSE FLOATING MENACES FROM THE TOWER THAT TOOK TEN MINUTES TO BEAT!!!!!?????????
And so I declared, "Fuck this shit!", and ran through the town as fast as I could to get through to other side.
Since I spent a few hours leveling on the open field I should be okay right?
WRONG
That fucking boss is a testament to everything this game is about.
WASTING TIME.
Once you get him in the same pattern it's just a matter of whittling away his HP.
But why test a gamer WHEN THEY FIGURED OUT THE PATTERN by making them repeat it for 10+ minutes!!!!?????? WHAT PURPOSE DOES THAT SERVE!!!!???? IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A GODDAMN HIDDEN BOSS!!!!!!!
This game is shit.
For the first time in my life I'm going to write a letter of complaint to a video game company.
I will never buy another Final Fantasy unless they GET THEIR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER!!!!!!!
Stupid squinty-eyed otaku fucks.
edit:
I'm not done yet you ignorant bastards!
When asked if the team should have striven to improve elements such as towns, rather than cut them, Toriyama laughed and said "You can wait longer for the game where we can improve those elements!"
When he read that comment, Greg laughed and said, "You can wait for me to spend money on your shitty products!"
