Well.... I don't think FF IX sold very well, did it?

Ok..... well I take back what I said, they shouldn't have delayed it to the PS3, since it's too far off.

I still can't believe Wind Waker got a perfect score.


I'll try FFXII. Whenever it comes out.

Too bad Vagrant Story was a steaming pile of crap. I get the feeling this is just Famitsu blowing their wad they've been saving up since FFX.

It could be just that good though, so we'll see.

Bah, they choose FFX as #1 for their 100 best games list. Lost all respect for Famitsu.

I tried to like it, honestly. The cinematics were kickass. But the tedious blacksmithing really turned me off.

On the whole, Vagrant Story is considered fantastic by critics.

Japanese like games that look similar to that hence why it was higher scored there because they are used to that kind of style I thought

Its not so much the look of the game, but the whole looking for the Triforce peices that should have kept WW from getting a perfect score...

That was pretty annoying but the game had flawless execution.

I mean, it was no Ocarina of Time, but what is these days.

I didn't find looking for the pieces bad. Got to find other islands that way. Don't see why everyone complains about it. Overall found it more fun than Oot. *shrug*

I too, didn't have much issue with collecting the Triforce (then again, I was playing with the GBA linked with Tingle assistance).

I liked both fairly equally. Windwaker was a far superior game in every way, but OoT was the first big cinematic 3D game I ever played so it has that special place in my heart
