Soul Calibur - I am waiting for the DBZ speed and physics to be added to this one.
Resident Evil - "Good monster" character playability and independence.
Final Fantasy - Will continue trying to become the Japanese version of Lord of the Rings.
Mario - Huge GTA type world with all types of places to go (including space).
Star Wars - Jedi Force Powers in Star ships. Should the ships explode and the pilot is forced to eject they can fight in space with the power Force Breath/Oxygen/I don't freaking know.

I would also like to mention that I want a sequel to Shadow of Colossus. I know the company doesn't do that....but they need to.

And in regards to the Final Fantasy series I am waiting on them to "Dark Tower" the entire series and have multiple characters meet each other from different story lines and before you know it...millions of combinations in gameplay style.

My team:

Kain (FF4)
Delita (FFT)
Rufus (FF7)
Setzer (FF6)

It's a cool idea.

Care to justify yourself on this one?
And the above scenario will never, ever happen. And if it does, I will ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.

Um....
Final Fantasy is a rip-off of Tolkien with merged portions of mythological, religious, and folklore references?

FFXI was what I am mainly refering to, however with the recent trends they need to go back to the roots of FF and stop with the direction of everything past FF9.

Uh, I don't agree with you about this... End of discussion

and to keep from disrailment:

I'm expecting the Dynasty Warriors franchise to see a major overhaul... making you use real strategy and tactics

and I'm also expecting to see Hell freese over... and a flying pig...

Okay, add the J-Pop and series destroying anime references and you essentially have a modern FF.

This already made this. Jedi Star Fighter. You could use force powers to influence your ship, such as force speed to slow down time, etc. It was okay.

Soul Calibur - I am waiting for the DBZ speed and physics to be added to this one

Except, not even the DBZ games have DBZ speed and physics... Ah well.

So basically what you've done is taken your original statement and moved some words around a bit and, hey presto, an argument.
You've also used as your main frame of reference FFXI, which is an MMO. Seeing that it's Squares only MMO then I think it's a bad idea to take aspects from this and say it's typical of the series. Futhermore, I play FFXI and have a Mithra Red Mage at the max. level and can say with confidence that the only similarities between this and LotR is tall, posh elves with pointy ears. Although all their good for is bashing people around the head with a sword and have low dexterity, basically the opposite attibutes from Tolkien elves.
And the mythological and folklore references are extremely well handled.
And there aren't any religious references bar the religion of the land and the religion the Mithra in Kazham follow (which to me is the most sensible idea for a religion I've yet to hear).

If you're willing to make a proper reasoning behind your statement I'll be happy to deconstruct that too.

The series they planned for Too Human is heading up a certain creek without, as Rowan Atkinson would put it, a certain wooden instrument.

Prince of Persia - Lookin' good.

Call of Duty - Annual success (IW) followed by annual failure (Treyarc)

Some of them.... kinda do. Sort of. I don't really watch it, but I'm pretty sure everyone on the show can move faster than the eye can see, so it'd be kinda tough to do if you didn't put it "at scale".

My predictions:

Mass Effect 2 and 3, or "follow the totally generic trilogy map":

- By the beginning of ME2, the other races will be very sketchy on humans, either because they sacrificed the counsel or because Shepherd's actions have been spun to appear that they nearly led to galactic genocide, depending on which ending you got.
- Shepherd, in particular, will be distrusted, due to his having been "touched by a Reaver". Many will be crying for his title to be stripped.
- At least one member of the crew, most likely Tali or Garrus, will leave the crew.
- By the halfway point of the game, your love interest will be captured or taken out of play.
- By the 3/4 mark of the game, Joker will fall or be attacked, and his legs will be shattered, forcing him out of commission.
- ME2 will end with the Reavers either returning or poised to return and Shepherd will be blamed for it. The Normandy will be destroyed.

- ME3 will bring back the entire original cast as Shepherd reassembles his team. This will include Tali/Garrus, as well as the love interest.
- Shepherd will be flying around in a crappy ship for most of the game as he looks for a way to ultimately eradicate the Reapers. The secret to doing so will lie with the very first race that the Reapers destroyed.
- By the 3/4 Mark, Shepherd's good name will be retored and he will be recognized by all as "The Only Hope".
- A new "Mark 4" ship prototype based on the Normandy will complete it's development. It will be given to you by someone who says something about how they can't think of a better person to captain the vessel.
- Joker will heal and enter the scene at this point, returning to complete your crew and fly the final missions for you.
- The game will end with the Reapers completely destroyed, Shepherd recieving honors, and then retiring from the world of politics.

...god, I hope I'm wrong.

I likes it, they could call it "The Final Final Fantasy"

Now if only we could get to say something along the lines of "Ok, Titus and Van go use your androgynous bodies to block that incoming laser cannon blast"

Well I fell I need to post, because a lot of series I see shambling about resembling there once great but now useless selves. I wont go On a rant about them, because my brain isnt working to well, and everything is filtering in and out of it and I cant grasp much.

although if they "dark tower" FF I call dibs on Squal, Auron, and the original blackmage.

i actually don't like the way resident evil is going, i enjoy more of the older games that i enjoyed when i was a kid. give me nemesis and tyrant but with better graphics. i mean 5 will probably be a great game, i just thought the whole slow moving zombies lurking around a corner was just as heart pounding as zombies trying to climb a ladder. i'm sure it's just me though. mostly because i love old school horror movies and hate the direction that the new one's go these days. but now i'm just rambling.

The fact that you took the time to write that shows you're a fan/boygirl of some aspect.

Wow....you actually said "Deconstruct". This uh..the high point of the night? Arguing over your love for the ever-declining FF series?

Actually no.
It shows that he/she has a brain and can use it very well, unlike you who use that thing of a post to say he/she is a fanboy/girl.

Congratulations.

There is no such thing in arguing a point when you can't even see the similarities....

Oh boy...forum surfers who think their analysis of J-RPG content is "intelligent".... only on the forums I guess.

I forsee it becoming better, Since in IW that bitch billy I think? Jumps from fraction to fraction and your character feels obligeded to help. Also why the hell was I not able to pick the incrediable evil hitlerish end as a templar?

Anyways.

I know it's not the same thing, but Final Fantasy Dissidia is coming out for the PSP. In case anyone doesn't know, it's a fighting game with Final Fantasy characters from various games.

Every Nintendo franchise - the same places they've been before. "Oh no, Princess Peach has been captured by Metroids and they're using her skills as a Pokemon trainer to help them find the Triforce! The only way we can save her is by racing go carts!"

Sonic the Hedgehog - 2D, then 3D, then 3D gunplay, then 2D again, then bargain bin. To be replaced by really sick fan fiction and fan art.

Resident Evil - after RE5 is shown to be RE4 in a different setting the game designers will be put on other projects and the writers will be locked in a room that not even the Master of Unlocking can open.

Half-Life - in 20 years or so - a month after the release Half-Life 2: Episode 4 - Valve will announce that they're going to finally stop milking the same game engine and start on an entirely new one. Estimated release date being 2108.

Street Fighter - Wait, what?? Street Fighter 4?! When did they make a Street Fighter 3? I thought they were still on Super Mega Ultra Street Fighter 2 Turbo EX. Anyway, after mediocre sales and average reviews for number four, the series will die away with only the occasional release of one of the "classic" games on XboxLive Arcade or PSN.

Anything by Acti-Blizzard: Run into the ground and raped for cash. Warcraft 4: Arthas Has Rectal Bleeding - coming in 2012.

Metal Gear Solid: Hideo Kojima teams up with Tim Schafer and releases the funniest game known to mankind. Resulting world-wide mirth induces world peace after everyone gets distracted by Solid Snake wearing a James Bond style tux over his stealth suit, getting drunk on grog and making innuendo-heavy rubber chicken jokes.

Soul Calibur: Ivy is completely nude by the sixth game. Her breasts have become so huge that she no longer uses her whip/sword; she uses boobchucks.

Watch, just watch. It is coming, dammit! I fucking called it!

Duke Nukem Forever: It finally comes out in 2012. This is the world-altering event the ancients were ragging on about that will supposedly happen in 2012. Just the fact that it came out causes the very fabric of reality to implode.

I have a tiny inkling that the Final Fantasy series is done with new IP's, Something tells me from now on anything with Final Fantasy in the title will be part of the Ivalice Alliance or Nova Crystalis
