Final Fantasy 2 is only good FF game

Baffling.

These were essentially cutscenes that you play. We get it, Silver is from the future, he's too much for Sonic to handle. Seeing him careering into tables is enough to establish that. Just end the boss fight there and resume the story. Why does the game need to stop dead in its tracks so you can lose over and over to this generic clone of a cookie cutter, donut steal hedgehog?

"Guy speak beaver!" I low key liked FF2, at least the GBA and PSP ports. I think those ports gave Richard a proper lance or something instead of a sword. Plus I remember Minwu had his own story after you beat the game.

Does Aeris really count as sexy though . Unless we talk about the remake "Forbidden place" online.

Character wise its a flower child with ruckus attitude sometimes. Remake is the closest to resemble the original character, the voice and attitude and all. But ironically, thanks to the remake it has made the Advent Children movie age well. Since they were so insanely monotone in that movie, with voice actors and all. Now they can just excuse it for depression after 2 years.

We know Cloud is the sexiest one of all in that dress.

Baffling.

I saw Game Grumps go into this boss fight blind. And I still can't wrap my head around it.

Between S&K and SA2, these were essentially cutscenes that you play. We get it, Silver is from the future, he's too much for Sonic to handle. Seeing him careering into tables is enough to establish that. Just end the boss fight there and resume the story. Why does the game need to stop dead in its tracks so you can lose over and over to this generic clone of a cookie cutter, donut steal hedgehog?

Think about all the Sonic OCs that are straight-up "unbeatable mary sue" shit, think about HOW LONG that's been going on. Remember who the likely market is for a Sonic game.

FF2 had a party character that was a literal retard named Guy

Five had a guy named Butz. He now goes by Bartz out of embarrassment.

And his opponent is Exdeath. Rather than the more appropriate Exodus.

Press F for Galuf.

Remember who the likely market is for a Sonic game.

They can count Michael Jackson among the fans, which is just too telling.

I was worried this was 5 pages of unironically arguing about FF2

My issue with the series is that no game is ever the Final one.

I liked FF3 fuck you

I actually changed my mind. Recently. Because FF3 and FF4 are genius. Main reason is i started fiddling more in FF4 video game.

If you are a completionist. Playing FF3 and FF4 by just "casually going through them, and then doing the completionist stuff.. is like watching dry paint on the wall dry, its insanely boring".

But then i realised this is not how game developers intended you to beat the game.

Example. In FF3 you can choose whatever job class you want, i tried and it worked. The only padded part is you need to be a black belt job when about level 45-50 and level that one up til level 97 and 98 to peak to HP 9999 (assuming you give a crap) but basically if you listen to online nerds, where they tell you to guard 5/10 times. Its gonna bore the skull out of anyone. So basically... get to the ??? cave, beat the crap out of Iron Giant with Onion Knights, then pick any job class, steal with Thief, Job level up. Beat up dragons with any job class, get stuff, level up. There you go. Now it actually makes sense.

Interms of FF4, there is summons or dragon tails that has rare drop rates.
So interms of delivering earth crystal. You need to be higher level to go further because the enemies there will kick your ass. So you can do it two ways? Either fight random enemies to shit til you are high level up. OOOoor the smart way. Find places to grind for summons by using black chocobo to fly around. Or play it in English first playthrough and Japanese 2nd playthrough to get variety.

So basically. Figuring that out, made me not hate those games. The game design is "PLANNING". So now i officially subjectively like FF3 and FF4. Its the dumb nerds who misled me online who i blame. The games are great. You dont see this type of design often in video games. So basically. Of old FF games. I say FF2, FF3 and FF4 are the best. I still think FF5 and FF6 is overglorified visual novels that has gameplay elements and even tweak some stuff that is useful in further FF games. But i honestly could not care about them basically.

Nigger you just played it for the first time don't fucking lie

for the best

X wasn't too bad, outfits notwithstanding.

I like the group dynamic and the sphere grid. Even Blitzball was amusing: Tidus is more media-savvy, so grabbing the megaphone was his Muhammad Ali moment. He knew how to turn the team's image around.

Imo X was fine, good even, but it 100% set the series down the wrong path imo. 7 did as well so I'm not being biased.
I can't say Tidus is a bad character any longer, I think making him the MC was still pushing it, because he's apparently well liked in Japan. And you'd think he wouldn't be but his story of being a struggling free spirit apparently worked well.
And most criticism of him overseas is about the vocal performance.

Have you played even thirty minutes of FF5? The story is hardly what anyone plays it for. They play it for the Job system. If you like FF3, you'll like FF5.

VIII is my personal favorite
X has the best gameplay and battle mechanics
IX probably has the best aesthetic and most charm overall
XII is the most underrated, has incredible art direction but the gameplay is iffy
VII is the most overrated

Any of the games before VII are irrelevant to me, i like none of them

 

[Captain Syrup]

Imo X was fine, good even, but it 100% set the series down the wrong path imo. 7 did as well so I'm not being biased.

I presume you're talking about the linearity and lack of sidequests? Or the futuristic setting?

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Excuse me FFX is best bc of all the retarded Yuna fans.

XII is the most underrated, has incredible art direction but the gameplay is iffy

I've met people who rank XII among their favorites. I will say the boss fights get pretty intense.

This is a minor point: the Mark Hunts involve poaching endangered animals who aren't a threat to people. Maybe that's supposed to be a commentary on something, but I don't know what.

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

VIII never clicked. Too many plots competing for attention, and none of them really resolve. If you want to talk "setting the series down the wrong path," half the cast is forgettable, in or out of battle.



IX is a gorgeous game... apart from the character designs. Vivi is supposed to be artificial, which is very distracting. I relate to Vivi's plight, but fundamentally, there is no reason why he (or the others) should resemble a Black Mage, complete with straw hat. Is he supposed to be an android or a clone, or what?

This is a consequence of shoehorning the Blade Runner plot into the medieval plot.



I've met people who rank XII among their favorites, and Ivalice looks amazing. I will say the boss fights get pretty intense.

But ultimately the plot doesn't go anywhere. Which is alright for an MMO, but this is a single-player RPG with MMO trappings. Also, and this is a minor point, the Mark Hunts involve poaching endangered animals who aren't a threat to people. Maybe that's supposed to be a commentary on something, but I don't know what.

I liked the setting and i liked the situations you get into on VIII even if it didn't made so much sense, it was just an appealing, on contrast VII has stronger themes and plot but it was such a boring game to me. Is a matter of preference.

XII's spends too much time with worldbuilding autism since the company wanted a big franchise of games around Ivalice but the characters were not as memorable. It reminds me a bit of the star wars prequels in that sense. It still is a good game i'd say, the art direction still holds up, is looks better than most games coming out nowadays.

In XV you also kill gigantic noble beasts who are not doing anything wrong just to get a gourmet meal out of it. It bothered me a bit too, is an anoying rpg trope to "kill x things just because" but at the end is just the usual gameplay-theme dissonance, not to be dwelled much on. Like "The lord of Evil is murdering the kingdom. only i am the chosen one, better go fishing and do mini sidequests for the next month". XV has a big problem with stuff like that, you get told your father died, that the throne is being usurped or whatever it was that it was going on and then you go back to chill out in the beach and do tourism with your buddies.
