CoN Expands Again

Couple weeks ago, CoN turned seven. You might have noticed that I said that we had some stuff planned for you. You might have noticed also that I so gently implied that if you still insist on referring to CoN as a FF6 site, you might not be all that bright.
Maybe you weren't paying attention then. Perhaps you haven't the imagination to look past the name of this site and realize that we cover four games now, and have coverage rivaling or surpassing sites out there (and if you don't think so, feel free to PM me to tell me who does it better and why). Perhaps you'll notice when you're done reading this message, or at least that is my hope. I want this to be a nail in the coffin - we're serious about the future of this site. While most sites out there are stagnating, you can count on CoN to stay here and keep trying to give you what you want. So here's your nail in the coffin; here's what we wanted to offer you as a birthday present but couldn't quite get there. The staff and I proudly present to you the fifth game in the CoN stable - Final Fantasy. We've got data for both the NES and newer PSX versions, and we want you to get into this classic game if you never have before. We think this section is by far the most detailed and best coded we've ever done, and we hope you feel the same. So please, visit the section, and let us know what you think. We hope that you will get as much enjoyment out of using the FF1 section as we got out of putting it together! ...oh. We hope you enjoy it more. -------------------- "To create something great, you need the means to make a lot of really bad crap." - Kevin Kelly Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN? |

We've been in the process of this for quite awhile, and it's really all come together very nicely, I think. Enjoy the section!

Couldn't ask for a better birthday present. My favorite part of the FF1 section is the LOAD of artwork by Rod Vasquez. AWESOME stuff. Now seriously, we need to do an FF7 section.

When I reloaded the CoN Forum main page, I suddenly noticed something seemed a bit 'off'. I looked, but my weary eyes did not detect anything new. It almost seemed like there was a new topic, but that would just be bolderdash.
Seems like next to three games I completed and one I never even touched, CoN now features a game I never completed. Ah, who knows, I might even pick it up again. Congrats, you guys must be feeling relieved right now  -------------------- |

Typical of me to skip right past the main page, giving it barely a glance, and then wondering just why the forums page has grown taller. Those are my super-duper observation skills working there.
The FF1 section looks to be a very thorough and excellent addition, and a very happy 'Fork it does make.  -------------------- Words of Wisdom: If something can go wrong, it will.

Thie new section is very neat indeed. It's nice to see that all the time in chat while on [CoNwork] was really worth something...
CoNgratulations to all who worked on this part of CoN history. |

Two of my favorite things have come together, CoN and 8-bit games. It's like I've discovered peanut butter and jelly all over again... or something like that.

10 out of 10...if it wasnt for the transparency issue. Your score now rests at 1 out of 10. Great job, R51.
 It looks very nice. And I was just kidding about the transparency issue. -------------------- Life is one big road with lots of signs.

The NES + PSX aspect totally rocks. As much as I prefer FF7, I would guess that it makes more sense to go for FF2 and FF3 next instead. Today FF1, tomorrow the world! Mwahahaha.... um... well, then again I guess a great website is ambitious enough. -------------------- Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!! |

Quote (Ejoty @ 18th August 2004 18:11) As much as I prefer FF7, I would guess that it makes more sense to go for FF2 and FF3 next instead. Which were only released in Japan besides Chronicles or whichever, and are probably the least played games of the series. You'd think after FF1's American success they would have gone ahead and taken a shot again to begin with but meh.
