sounds promising... and its more like placing david duke up with al sharpton. either one you like, jon is the other one! and if you hate both, then he is both at the same time. Moderator Action: Please don't troll around here in the forums.
FFH did a deal in giving kael some "brand loyalty" among the civ base, so i hope his projects are successful in drawing in that audience and i hope that the unholy partnership here produces good games.
Jon wasn't the only person in the vicious inside circle making decisions for the civ games, and i am hopeful that this game, which captures elements of multiple genre's is as good as it looks. Only thing i found disconcerting is that there are several elemental games and i don't know how they work/expansion with one another and there is no real info, would i have to buy other games first, then this? is this an expansion or a true stand alone?
(btw, a true stand alone, means a new game to the saga not an "expansion" that can let you play with limited content if you dont have the original, this turns the expac into a paid demo. Dynasty Warriors Extreme Legends for example, is a "stand alone" expansion but it is not truly a standalone game, more like a paid demo).
Some of the screens show what looks like an MMO interface for battles, while another shows... is that my pet, Acheron? how did he get out, where are my beastmasters...
I have high hopes here and i only fear it wont live up to minecraft while it will hopefully be more than "ffh version of elemental" but i wouldn't mind a real FFH rpg -
we need an adult RPG where the hero's are not little kids living in a world of incompetent, inept idiots who need to have little kiddies go and kill the mean bad guy. We need a game that has in-depth, psychological storytelling, deep themed content and not all surface elements. And don't be afraid to use adult themed stories and moral challenges, where decisions are tougher than "give item to NPC 1 for item a and be good or give item to NPC 2 for item b and be evil".
Characters with deep stories make for a better game, and the elements of FFH placed within the civ-style of game what RPG's like Xenogears and Final Fantasy III (in america, 6 in japan) brought to the table. Breathe life into a genre polluted and dumbed down for "nextgen kiddies" and remember that adults need games too!
