The Final Fantasy Thread

I argue that if this movie were like Advent Children, it would have been a success. FFVII fans wouldn't have gone WTF?
Perhaps, but one thing I like about the Final Fantasy franchise is that each numerical addition to the franchise contains a standalone story bar the easter egg references like chocobos, gil, etc to previous games. Now I feel like that spirit is lost with the clusterfuck that was the 13 series of games and the lose plot and battle system in 14.
 
The pixel remasters don't look awful until you get to the UI and the text font. When a massive game company with fuck-you money has menus that are equal in quality and laziness to YIIK, you know you've fucked up.

Honestly, I legit dont think it looks good. At most, its making the NES entries look like if they came out during the SNES.
I have been dying to get legit remasters or decent ports of these games for years and I think Square throwing this mobile crap at us is just insulting. You are just paying for a coat of paint while still having the same content people had when these games came out. Its legit extremely lazy from Square.

You are legit better off emulating these games for free.

Edit: Drinking game, take a shot everytime I type "legit"...the one you just read tecnically counts so drink it sailor.

Except Waterworld was still way, way, way more successful than The Spirits Within.

It was but it took a shitload of money to make it, unlike the Blaire Witch Project and Paranormal Activity which just have people screaming and crying at a dark forest or room that costed like tens of thousands to make and profited 200x as the much as the budget.

Honestly a game about screaming and crying in a dark forest sounds fun.

4, 7, 8, 9, & 10 are my favorite of the main series, especially 10. I really don't like the rest of the series, especially 12 onward, but I think 6 is fine (good actually, but the final stretch soured the experience for me).

There's some good spin-offs, Tactics being the best of the bunch, I think.
 
Care to elaborate?
After you go to that floating continent it's just a bland hard as hell dungeon. I think it had like a time limit gimmick or something too. I mean it is presumably the last one so I get what they were going for, but I was stuck and didn't feel like grinding or looking up exploits so I quit.
 
Square absolutely refuses to print money once again with the state of this pixel remaster
If you have enough money to have a 3000 series card, you have enough money to buy the MSRP pf the 6 remasters of old 2D games.

Besides there's going to be individual physical releases where they come with a replica famicom cart and other extras for each game.

uhhhh

Did you finish the Floating Continent, or just give up? Because there is like 50 percent of game still left.
I think I mixed up names, after Googling it I believe it was Kefka's Tower, which the wiki says is the final dungeon. Apparently you can go there any time after getting an airship, seems like I probably went too early but as I recall I did a fair amount of content and didn't just head straight there.

Well, you were half-right. Parts of the FC are still in there.

Yes, 6 is either one of the easiest or hardest Final Fantasies. In the right hands it is laughably broken. But the second half isn't exactly linear. So if you pick the wrong quest, you get slaughtered

I love and hate the Floating Continent reveal in FF3.
It's great reveal, especially the first time, and a great setting idea.
But it's always ground my gears when a smaller region has more density of content
Lotta fun though.
 
I see.

This is embarassing now: back in the day I couldn't find Kefka's Tower without help. I figured it was just an ugly rock formation and kept walking. (It succeeds too well at being deliberately hideous.)
I definitely found it to be one of the harder ones. 2 takes the cake though.

That's SNES graphics for you, sometimes it's hard to tell what things are. F-Zero looks like it takes place over a circuit board or something, I had no idea it was supposed to be a city.
