Re: Final fantasy

final fantasy 2 was... bad

i've played every numbered final fantasy up to 14, barring ff 11, favorites would have to be 6 and 8
even though the angst was strong in ff8 it was loads better than ff7
ff7 is fucking awful and if you think it deserves it's current spot in rpg history you have either never played it, or there is something severely wrong with you, probably both

Re: Final fantasy

ACTUALLY...

I went in FF7 a year ago because I heard "OH IT'S SO GOOD" from many people on the Internet.

So with boredom, I went... "Sure..."

I did finish the game, and my god I have absolutely NO CLUE why the game was praised.

I even tried to look at it if I was still in 1997 and still had no clue.

Re: Final fantasy

To me, FF7 felt like there were multiple stories going on and it wasn't focusing on one clear objective. It always felt like I was on a random journey with just one vague goal after the first area (that took 6 hours, my god).

Re: Final fantasy

there's a twitter account that posts the entirety of the game as if the cast of ff7 was high the entire time
far more exciting than the actual game
lemme see if i can find it

AKA FF9 lmao, you have like 4 or more storylines going on at once

I'm not praising 7 either, just thought it was an honorable mention due to hype ayy

Re: Final fantasy

I've only played X and X-2 so X is my favorite.
Its probably my favorite game and probably always will be cuz nostalgia.
Really surprised at the amount of people who have played almost every single one.

Re: Final fantasy

with the advent of emulators it's trivial to play FF1 - FFX-2

Re: Final fantasy

Beat all the Final Fantasies except FF10-2, FF13-2, 13-3

My favorite is 6 because it's a legit dystopian setting which harbors realistic scenarios (as if our planet was nuked).
Plus Kefka is arguably the strongest villain in all of Final Fantasy anyways haha

Re: Final fantasy

I've played all the games in the main numbered series except the online ones (XI and XIV).

For sentimentality, I would choose VII as my favourite because it was the first one I played and I beat it around ten times. Even when I went back to it a few years ago when showing VII-X to my wife (because she hated watching XIII and I wanted to show her that Final Fantasy could actually be good), I still loved it. Everything from the stupidly over the top 'token black Mr T character' to the serious effort put into side quests and mini-games.

X or VI would be second and third, though I couldn't pick an order. IX after that, I got slightly addicted to the card game in it.

Least favourites would be X-2 (Charlie's Angels: FF edition), XIII (corridoooooooooooooooors x 250, but after 30 hours you get an open world what's your problem don't you like to work for your enjoyment?) and XII (horrible story, horrible characters, and gameplay best epitomised by the strategy guide for the optional super-boss: Set up your auto-combat gambits, run to the boss and...put down your controller. Just go away. Come back every so often, don't worry we'll tell you when you've beaten the monster and won the game.)
