Woke was never a new concept, it's just a new word that people use so they don't have to admit those aspects of themselves they can't really defend and don't want to admit. It's basically a misdirection tactic to shift the discussion back onto their critics without admitting the problem they really have with something.
... That's not how Final Fantasy IX happened at all...
Definitely the best FF PS game.
Excuse me, Final Fantasy Tactics exists (and shouldn't be counted really).
That is a great point. That game is so good!
You are a gentleman/woman and a scholar and a fine judge of classing video games.
That's weird cause what I remember is a lot of dress spheres.
Final Fantasy 6 also has the same type of plotline except instead of an evil corporation it's an evil empire and sociopathic clown (Kefka). This game was released on the SNES btw with Chrono Trigger. Do I dare mention Final Fantasy 9? Btw before people ask FF6 was my childhood and I loved that game that's how I know it from the inside out
... now if only you left off Final Fantasy and Shinra...
This could be so many JRPGs. Including other Final Fantasies... 6 is damn close too. And the superior of all the Final Fantasies...
6, 9, 13-2. Fight me.
9, 6, 10.
Everything after X-2 is an abomination and I refuse to acknowledge it is even the same franchise.
I will fite you
I dare you to complete 13-2. It's everything a final fantasy should be and barely needs 13 or 13-3.
If it isn't turn-based, I'm not playing it. No idea who the fuck thought it was pivot literally the MOST ICONIC turn based IP into action combat but I want to scoop their eyes out with grapefruit spoon.
To honor your engagement, I'll watch a walkthrough, but I'm serious about how unbelievably, incandescently fuckdamn bitter I am that FF dropped turn-based combat in favor of MMO inspired action.
And that goes double for the FF7 remake that I have literally waited decades for.
At this point, Fuck Square. Seriously. Fuck them hard. There are already TONS of action adventures out there, why did they have to do this to my favorite turn based?
Why not just play Indie then? Same pixel base, same classic combat style. Pixel Remasters are a thing too if you're looking for nostalgia instead.
It's not like Squenix IP was special between FF iterations. Maybe a chocobo, moogle, and cactuar, but otherwise fairly different contexts in most titles.
Hell one of the few things Pokemon gets shit on still for is being turn based.
Why not just play Indie then?
What makes you think I don't? I am specifically referring to the asstastic turn that the Final Fantasy series made after X-2, and dropping turn based combat is only part of it.
Hell one of the few things Pokemon gets shit on still for is being turn based.
Yes, because people in general are fucking idiots who have no idea and just like to hear their voices.
Turn based will always be the superior option in RPGs and most tactical games. Whoever started the 'shitting on turn based' trend needs to be fed to a woodchipper.
Tell me more about how you feel.
bite me
😬
HARDER
FF4 and FF5 can be added to the list, FF8 barely. Persona 2, 3 and 5 as well
My favorite FF is a hallucination after you get stabbed with magic because you tried to overthrow the government. But it has a children's card game!
Is this what actually happens in FF7? I stoped playing jrpgs after the snes/genesis era.
Yeah more or less. You're a radical earth preservation group blowing up what are essentially nuclear reactors. You dress in drag for one level to sneak into a mob boss' HQ, and you have a casino's fursona as an optional character. Social justice, preservation of the earth, and how corporations and the military exploit people are explicit themes.
There is also sword fights on motorcycles, skiing, and aliens.
Never seen a mascot described as a "fursona" before
LMAO yeah I was just about to say… casinos don’t usually have “fursonas”
I somehow don't recall the aliens.
I'll have to play it again.
Some points are overemphasized (there's only one drag scene, and how furry the furry party member is is debatable, as seen with other commenters here), but it's basically true. You play as a multiethnic group of ecoterrorists seeking to overthrow an evil worldwide corporation sucking the world dry in the name of profit.
