"Final Fantasy" is just the franchise name because it WAS supposed to be the final game that squaresoft put out before the company went under. However, it did so well that the company survived. Hence the reason it is no longer the "final" one.
Of course, they are all final games as there is no continuation between the story lines. Similar themes, yes, but different characters and stories.
Quote from Wikipedia
| Quote: |
That same year, Square employee Hironobu Sakaguchi was charged with the creation of a game that might well prove to be the company's last. The result was Final Fantasy, a computer role-playing game for the Famicom.[1]
Sakaguchi, who was considering retiring after the production of the game, named it "Final Fantasy", a reference to the game being his last as well as his exit from the gaming industry . The game was successful, however, and returned the corporation to profitability.[citation needed]. Final Fantasy did much better than Sakaguchi and Square had hoped, and led to a North American distribution deal with Nintendo of America, who released to market Final Fantasy in the United States in 1990. Due to its success, Hironobu Sakaguchi's plans for retirement ended and he stayed at Square to develop new Final Fantasy games. It may also be possible that the reason every new Final Fantasy game has a new story, with new characters, is because the original Final Fantasy game was created with the belief that a sequel would never be created.

I know the story but it still pisses me off. They could have at least tried to be creative or something instead of being a bunch of lazy fucks and just keep adding numbers.

I hate games when:
> you are allowed to carry only 2 weapons. (Stupid!)

Why is it stupid to be limited to carrying only two guns?
If, by stupid, you mean a little bit more challenging, then I guess I could see your point.
I seriously do not know why there are "drop-mods" in renegade. Being able to carry 20 weapons with one guy is so completely stupid it makes me wonder. These are usually he same half-wits who use the reasoning that high-powered rifles are realistic in killing light armoured vehicles.
How about using the same very logic and be consistent? The only consistency I see there is that it makes it easier for the average player to be better because s/he can pick up guns from players who their teammates killed (hello people who buy sbhs the entire game, please fuck off) I hate all the mods that come out. O.K some of them make them original, but one person had an idea in his head that if people got more points from shooting buildings, that it would give it more incentive for people to buy tanks. No shit genius, lowering the cost of vehicles would do the same thing. All i see it as is handicapping people, which I find pretty stupid.

-Cheating AI. I don't care if it's for the sake of difficulty, the AI should not be able to do things that the player cannot (exception: dedicated non-human bosses). For a particularly egregious example, the AI in Homeworld: Cataclysm sometimes sends its production ships off the playable map to where the player cannot follow. Every time this happens, the game is broken because the current level cannot be beaten until all enemies are destroyed. On a similar note, RTS AIs should also not be able to build when they are out of money.

Another thing that really "grinds my gears" would be in some racing games where you could be PERFECT and the AI is somehow behind you. You have almost the exact same chance if you did poorly but just made the leader fuck up in the end.
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

completely agree... first of all i believe renegade should have a drop mode. so if i somehow pick up a repair gun when i am a hottie i can get rid of it. or if im a sakura and get a ramjet with 1 shot why would i want that? or a gunner getting a rocket launcher of the officer.. pointless. aswell as the racing games, in flatout and flatout 2 towards the end i always notice that. no matter how perfect you go never fuck up and take corners perfectly the AI is always on you just waiting for when you do fuck up. or when you are following the AI it sometimes takes a corner that no matter how many times you try you will never be able to do the same on.

Things I hate most about games are...
- The time it takes to make a decent one, lets be honest 4-5 years
- The amount of rubbish on the shelves today that is not worth parting with my money for, but unfortunatly some sorry people do
