This post could make me the next TV_Themes, but I led a good life here.
I played partway through FFIII DS, and I think the most advanced piece of technology I saw was the airship. And that was fine. Everything else felt like a middle ages setting with magic, which is what I associate with the game's theme. Even the airship fit in. There might be other gadgets like that, but if there was, I either don't remember, or I didn't get far enough in it before I lent it to a kid who never gave it back.
I watched maybe the last half or third of Advent Children, and the setting was way too futuristic for me. I guess the definition of 'fantasy' is vague enough, but for some reason, my view of the term is, unfortunately, a bit narrow, so seeing it mixed with a futuristic sci-fi setting on Advent Children left me with a bitter taste. That or the FF7 fanbase.
Saw a little bit of a playthrough or review of FF9, and it actually looked like something I'd enjoy.
My boyfriend plays FFXI, and I'd play that with him if I had a job to pay the monthly fee.
I'd even give FFVII a try if copies of it weren't so freaking expensive. If I like it, I would probably be in the group of people who like something, but hate the fanbase (at least those that give the game more praise than necessary). If I hate it, I would be armed with legitimate complaints.
