5 Final Fantasy Henchmen (That Were Better Characters Than Their Employers)

WC: "When someone says ‘Final Fantasy’, what is the first thing that come to your head? Perhaps its chocobos, the flightless yellow birds that have appeared in all but one entry of the series? Maybe it’s the ridiculously long summon sequences that players bear witness to upon calling a creature such as the dragon king Bahamut to their aid? It could even be the often irritating random encounters with monsters such as Cactuars, Tonberries or the much-despised Malboros.

For many aficionados, the defining aspect of the series is the sheer volume of engaging and captivating stories that it has provided us throughout the last twenty seven years, from the simple world-saving of the original release to the complex and highly regarded plots boasted by the franchise’s SNES and Playstation titles.

Every great story needs a great villain, of course, and the series’ has rarely failed to disappoint players with its gallery of principal rogues, which includes the maniacal Kefka, the theatrical Kuja and the despicable Sephiroth.

These have each been supported by an array of excellent supporting antagonists, however, some who support them, and some whom oppose them. Some of these secondary villains even have henchmen of their own."

Playstation Icons: Squall Leonhart

Gary Green said: Tempting as it is to dedicate our first installment of PlayStation Icons to a franchise-leader like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, or even Sackboy, instead I’m choosing a character that I, like so many others, connected with on a personal level. He’s a moody, world-weary teen, a proud loner with no time for the drama of others, and yet he’s also a hero just waiting for the motivation to unleash his full potential. He’s a warrior. He’s a leader. He’s the king of internal monologues. It’s time to meet Squall Leonhart.

The effort here is impressive. Hope it doesn’t get taken down.

He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.

solideagle47d ago

ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit

No mention of fixing the audio issues the dialogue audio is too low this has been reported many times on social media the volume has to be turned up and music has to be lowered to hear the characters properly :(

Babadook7111d ago

I have a question as someone who is considering buying the game soon. Is this a fixable issue? Can you just lower the volume for music and sound effects and keep dialog at default?

shadowT111d ago (Edited 111d ago )

yes, it is no issue at all. Just go into settings. Do you have already played the first Remake or the OG?

M3talDiamond111d ago

There are a few youtube videos and reddit tips with some tips on fixing the sound issues but sadly they didnt work for me

M3talDiamond111d ago (Edited 111d ago )

@Babadook7 There are a few videos on youtube with tips on how to fix the dialogue audio this but sadly they didnt work for me. There is an option to lower the music and sfx and keep the dialogue audio at 10 but you have to keep the volume up high (well for my TV I do) but when you are in battles and cutscenes the audio is higher so you have to adjust the audio again.
@shadowT The audio issues doesnt affect everyone there are some people on reddit complaining about the audio and there are other people saying they dont have any issues at all. I think it depends on the TV I have a Samsung QLED 4K and FF7 Rebirth is the only game I have audio issues with.

Babadook7110d ago (Edited 110d ago )

Thanks for the answers all.

@Shadow yeah I have the Remake and finished it and loved it (loved the OG also back in the day). My understanding is this is even better than Remake.
