All in all, it's whatever Cid agrees with.

My vote now changes to piper. Yes, I am very fickle when it comes to such things

That's pauper.

And I'm glad someone took some recognition to it, I think it works better than the other two system as it allows a better dividing branch for future games, where as, as soon as the next gen consoles are released, we can add the next generation category for the new games. Therefore, we also add a time line from the late 80's all the way to present.

While I agree with Marick's naming idea (First Generation, Second Generation, etc), I don't think it should be done with subcatgories for a start as that would only add to the mess, nor do I agree with having categories for three games. I say we go with Proto's three categories, but have them named First Generation, Second Generation, and then, to save on predictability of "Misc" or "Other", we can go with the correct answer, which is obviously "Yes".

Also, with the ever-increasing likelihood of re-released of the earlier FF's, I think that making it FFI-III and FFIV would defeat the purpose of splitting up those forums. Even if they aren't re-released, I still think they all deserve their own forum. Having a whole lot of games in one forum doesn't make people start threads about the other games than what they're playing any faster. The only difference is that it adds to confusion. I see no benefit whatsoever when it comes to keeping the early FF's together.

EDIT: I've raised this up in the Staff Forum, so now we can just wait and see.

the only problem with proto's system is that not all the games were released under the same generations applied in old school and new schoold. There are 2 game systems for each old and new schools. I dunno, I guess I don't mind 3 forums in a category.

Yes, but with nearly all the games now (or soon to be) covering multiplatform, that doesn't really matter anymore.

Sadly, people like to assume any 3-D game is new-school...

[Agent Proto]

I'm only making the divide when the change of graphics were made.

Notice the difference from FFVI to FFVII
