Is it me or does anyone else get the FF vibe from the game? The D&D system is toned down a little, it is a bit more linear than most of bioware's work. On the plus side, it doesn't have the evil kill 10000 enemies to level up of regular bioware games and none of the heavy flaws of biowares regular work. Far more narrative than any othe bioware RPG and the card game is something that would feel right at home in recent FF games.
It is almost almost as if BG2 and FF7 had sex and popped out KoTOR.
No clue.
Loved the game when it worked, though.
It certainly was less mundane than FFX was.
I got 20 hours into FFX, with 18 of blitzball.
I think I got to the last planet in KOTOR before my XB shat it out and say 'no more'.
This game needs a sequel badly. One with serious bug testing.

They made the game for consoles first, PCs second. That's pretty much the reason for everything you listed.
I don't really get a "FF Vibe" from the game though.
No, I don't get an "FF Vibe" from it and comparing it to an FF game is insulting to Bioware.
I think my head just exploded.Quote:

I'm with Videodrone on this one.
That happens but then you just control them yourself and you're fine. Still annoying I understand. IRT the topic, I don't think that FF and KOTOR are really linked in any way, except for the fact that they're fun. I guess what you we're trying to say was that Square Enix's landmark is the FF series as KOTOR is to BioWare? I tried.Quote:

Final Fanatsy has uninteresting, one-dimensional, ethnocentric characters (Vivi and the cast of FF6 excepted) who I couldn't give a damn about. KoTOR makes its characters come alive with well written dialogue, excellent voice work, and interesting, even funny (HK-47) backstories. I loved listening to Canderous' war stories. These alone were leagues above any crappy "Oh, I'm such a lonely soul" diatribe that comes out of most FF games.
As has already been stated, KoTOR is an RPG. Final Fantasy is a J-RPG. Remember the difference and never compare them again.
