mpanty: Well, I haven't played Zelda, but I can assure you that you haven't missed much not having played FF. I sincerely hope that a lot is lost with the translation, or I officially won't understand the Japanese for the rest of my life. Play Planescape Torment instead. It has everything. Except for stunning 3D graphics, but that's just BS as it has no impact on the game itself.
LeHah: I never said FS2 was Game of the Year... However, I believe Grim Fandango was. And it was very well deserved. Back to the sims... Wasn't Starlancer also released 1999? That game had its moments... (And I just recently completed the final mission in total success! WOOHOO!) I'm not saying it ruled, but it didn't suck all the same. What about Tachyon... Hmm... When was it released? I don't remember... Whatever. Poor competition. If FS2 drove the genre to its grave, Tachyon nailed the coffin shut. And still we have Independence War 2, Freelancer, Starshatter (independent game, coming along nicely, reminds you a lot of IW1), Babylon 5: I've Found Her.
