FFXIV's combat is face numbingly boring.
Also VIII was better than VII.

MODERATORS
I think people pretend to like XII because it was their first contact with a MMOlike, there's no way someone actually loves that party.
The game improves greatly when Fran is the party leader.
FF7 remake’s battle system sucks. Some spells whiff so often they’re basically useless (aero against Eligor anyone?), punisher mode is so much better than operator mode there’s no real point in having the latter except for the fact that punisher’s walk speed is awful, the roll’s terrible range and lack of I-frames make it borderline pointless, items shouldn’t use ATB gauge, and guard break is a stupid mechanic that just stretches out fights while making making them less fun.
Ffix is the best one. So fuck off
False. Five.
I want to fight you right now but it’s not worth it. It’s not like you said 7
The 'Squall is Dead' theory is canon for me and I don't give shit what the developers say. That theory makes the story infinitely better.
Also, VI is better than VII.
Cold take, I know, but I think FFVIIR is a falsely advertised sequel.
agreed, it was a clever bait-and-switch-with-an-out
"no, remake doesn't stand for REMAKE ... it stands for RE-MAKE the story, completely, like .. history is being REMADE! it's time travel baby!"
they knew what they were doing; literally EVERYONE was expecting a close remake of the original game for modern consoles, instead we got a FINE and VERY COOL SEQUEL, but nothing close to the REMAKE they led people to believe.
What do you mean by falsely advertised?
When Squaresoft became Square Enix, the company died and took Final Fantasy with it and the first game they launched was a creepy fan service character assassination of a story.
I honestly found it degrading going from vibrant story criticizing religion and tradition to playing harem dress up in skimpy clothes with three teenage girls in a story that honestly feels like it doesn't go anywhere. It's just creepy things happening with weird unlikeable overly sexualized characters and if you complete all the to-do list you get the ending you want in the most contrived way possible.
Oh yeah Yuna gets with Tidus because she asks the fayth. The whole Vegnagun thing and all the half naked people and guys with greasy haircuts and people horny for the main chacters are irrelevant.
Preach, they haven't been the same since.
That was the first Squeenix entry?!
Yeah. Final Fantasy X was Squaresoft and Final Fantasy X-2 was Square Enix. You can see the whole difference in design from the two companies.
FFX-2 was Square as well. It was developed by a Square team and released by Square in Japan, not SquareEnix. In fact, it was the last Square Final Fantasy game to be released. This is all easily verifiable on Wikipedia, as well.
The truth is that this was the direction they wanted to take the X universe, even had the same Director and everything.
Oh wow, i always thought the merger/spirits within failure was the cause of the crappyfication of the final fantasy x game and all the terrible ones after it. I guess something else then.
VIII > VII
I don't know if I'd quite go that far, but VIII is hella underrated.
100%!
I haven't played all of them, but I am still obsessed with VIII. I don't think I have played an RPG more than that game. Closest is probably Baldur's Gate 3, but I have a long way to go still. I could never bring myself to play a game more than once, if I finished it at all, and that was the first RPG as a kid, and as an adult, I had the patience to sit and play all the way through and then some.
Emet-Selch isn't hot. Y'all just have shitty taste in men.
Romanticising his pain over losing Amaurot and those he loved. You know, even though he played a part in sacrificing Amaurot and its citizens, and the untold damage he’d done since with his machinations, never mind part played in the Seven and further attempted Calamities/Rejoinings. But yeah, knock-off Captain Ardyn Sparrow is hot.
The games are soundtrack simulators. Nobuo Uetmastu is heart and soul of the series. The rest is just packaging for it.
Jobs and materia are fun to play around with though.
It really is a core part of the vibes and tone of the series. Even the ones with no story to speak of and/or bad old turn-based gameplay had the good music, design, etc.
Well that certainly is a hot take.
Soken is good, idk about this other guy though.
The last good Final Fantasy game was 9.
That is a hot take because X is great.
