Romier S Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 -On FF12: "I just played the beginning. You really can't expect much from the game when Yasumi Matsuno, a crucial member of the team, leaves in the middle of development." Too bad. He's missing out on an excellent game and one of the best Final Fantasy's in a long time IMO. -"I'm not interested in the PlayStation 3. The machine's architecture is tricky, and I don't like Kutaragi" :lol Well, at least he's honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
