Capcom have just released onto the web screenshots from their Demon 'em up 'Devil May Cry'. It looks like a gothic horror vampirey sort of game. Originally meant to be a Resident Evil clone for the PS2, Capcom reportedly decided to go for something a little bit different (Dante, the hero, is a cross between a human and a demon for example, so we can all relate to the lead character then....). The game revolves around killing demons, and that's, er, it.
The thing is, why bother releasing screenshots now when the game is not going to come out on the PS2 until Christmas 2001, over a year away? Aren't they going to overhype it a little? I can understand the marketing ploy of trying to whet our appetites early on, to psyche us up and start saving, but 13 months before release? Give us a break. I think that about 6 months would be ok, not a whole year.

'Which one' doesn't matter, it's the whole philosophy behind the Final Fantasy series that will have you captivated from start to finish, or once you get into it anyway. (This is assuming that you enjoy RPG's, not everyone is the same with regards to genre.)
The thing is, they keep getting better and better; I didn't think FF7 on the PS could be improved until they brought out FF8, and even then I still play both of them equally, although I prefer the depth to FF8, and the plot is not so linear. The only thing that can be improved upon IS the linearity of the game, that's my only quibble. Solve that problem and you have the perfect game. (For me at least).

Which one?
I've just started playing g the original on the NES, can't say that I've got into it yet.
These games sound intersting though. Doubt it'll work on my lowly PC!

Nothing, and I mean nothing, can EVER be better than Final Fantasy.

There is anothe game coming out before christams under Eidos's label, it was made by an old friend of mine and it's called 'Evil Riseing' it has 4 CDS and is coming out on the PC, can't wait it's so damn good, saw some pictures the other day(originals) this game is so good, it is like Final Fantasy but it's sooo much better, it can't be compared, it starts off with a kids dad being shot then he revenges his death(all I know) if you don't buy it, your a fool, fool I tell ye!
