"Bump of Chicken?" The fuh? What does that even MEAN? Haha.

imoutofthecontest5092d ago

They actually wanted to go for "The attack of the coward" but due to translations of synonyms, "Attack" became "bump" and "coward" became Chicken. They found the accident so funny that it was better than their original idea so they just sort of went with it.

Oh snap. Fist bumps of Chicken all around.

knifefight5092d ago

Is that like when you're at KFC and everyone is REALLY enjoying the meal?

ClaveroRulz5092d ago (Edited 5092d ago )

So, Square Enix went from Nobuo Uematsu to... Bump... of Chicken... aham.......................... ......

Leona Lewis gonna hate

imoutofthecontest5092d ago (Edited 5092d ago )

Not really. Uematsu has done soundtracks but not pop song promos. I don't think he sings. The first FF RL-star infusion was FF8, if I recall correctly.
More accurately, Square Enix went from Faye Wong (FF8) to Emiko Shiratori (FF9), to Ritsuki Nakano (FF10), to Angela Aki (FF12), to Sayuri Sugawara/Leona Lewis (FF13).

Damn I loved Angela Aki,she had a good voice

How Final Fantasy’s First M-Rated Game Laid the Foundation for XVI’s Dark Tone

Final Fantasy XVI demonstrates how the franchise has matured since the release of its first M-rated installment, Final Fantasy Type-0.

Type-0 Is The Darkest Final Fantasy Ever Made

DS: “I hate that Type-0 is forgotten among the Final Fantasy games. While not the strongest entry, its mature story makes it stand out from the others. And even though Final Fantasy now has three rated M games — including Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Final Fantasy XVI, — Type-0 will always have the crown of being the first, and arguably the darkest.”

i agree that it is indeed dark, but it has its issues.

and i feel like the ending is what makes it really a dark final fantasy game.

the rest is more or less war where teenagers fight.

This game was the epitome of the FF dark age pretty much, was hella boring and the gameplay was tedious. I'm glad SE got the series back on track

gold_drake747d ago

well, it was more of a spin off rly.
especially after they dropped the fabula nova crystalis stuff

H9747d ago

I actually really love this game, the main problem however was that the entire story and personality of the characters, was in the lore that you need to dig very deep to find and external materials outside of the game, honestly it has my favorite lore in the franchise, I wish they had made the game more story focused, god it would have been a masterpiece

The Best Final Fantasy Spin-Off Titles Ever Released

Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.

First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.

But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."

I enjoyed World of Final Fantasy and I love Crisis Core

SDuck1585d ago

Do you even know what a spinoff is?

FallenAngel19841585d ago

Do you? if you even have to ask that

FallenAngel19841585d ago (Edited 1585d ago )

@ cool

It’s more than just having characters. KH uses various gameplay mechanics, themes, terminology, & aesthetics from FF.

It just happens to be a spin-off that’s also a crossover, similar to fellow spin-off crossover titles such as Pokémon Conquest, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle, & Warriors All Stars

coolfool1585d ago

Does including characters from a game make it a spin off? If so, is Smash Bros a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid? 😕

Nerdmaster1585d ago (Edited 1585d ago )

I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).

About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
