Silent Hill, my favorite series of all time, is no longer art. And this is so sad to me. Origins was meh. Homecoming was okay at best. Shattered Memories was nothing more than a different game with the Silent Hill title so it'd sell. This, well...it seems like a combination of those three things. It really seems like you could remove the name "Silent Hill" from the game and title and it could just be any other game. The first three Silent Hill games didn't share that problem. They were an art; a labor of love by (this is gonna sound cheesy, folks) artisans who spun beautiful storytelling and atmosphere to create phenomenal games that they could call their masterpieces. I'm not going to say the game is terrible, since it hasn't been released yet, but do not have high hopes for this product. Nobody draws stick figures and sells them as da Vinci paintings. It's time to let Silent Hill die, Konami.
@Krag I've told people this before and it always remains true: If you don't have friends playing with you, you won't get anywhere. And yes, the game is a TON of work (Magicite mission, anyone?) but it's really cool once you start seeing the bulk of the cutscenes and stuff. The story is awesome. The only problem I have is Abyssea changing up a lot of things, and seemingly causing a lot of people to become very snooty all of a sudden. "YOU CAN'T PROC WITH A STAFF? GET OUT OF MY ALLIANCE"
Have they ever mentioned whether or not they're going to be modifying jobs into/adding in classic Final Fantasy jobs? I know it seems trivial but one of the best things about XI is being able to play as those jobs you loved as a kid in FFI, V, etc.
