3 is really unfun to play, and the DS version somehow made it even worse. Music's good, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9xyV-Rz5Jk

FactsAreUseless posted:The world isn't very interesting, visually, which is disappointing for a Final Fantasy game. the crystal tower/binding coil of bahamut look r.good but idk what level you are FactsAreUseless posted:3 is really unfun to play, and the DS version somehow made it even worse. Music's good, though. i played 3 on ds and it was just kind of really easy and boring and i didn't finish it because the crystal tower layout confused me and i didn't care like i did the optional dungeon and it was kind of "oh, that was it huh"

Dragon Warrior NES isn't really a long game, I played it last DQ summer and it seemed short

FactsAreUseless posted:It's insane how few games steal from Chrono Trigger. Nothing CT does is super complicated or hard to borrow. It's a really good game but it's not crazy complex or mechanically deep. Just steal the cool ideas and put them in another game. It has so many cool things. i feel like a simple ng+ that just lets you take your gear and stats and makes no changes to the game should be way more common than doing nothing at all

its cool when a game has that and you can stock up on limited availability items by just getting more on each playthrough, that was a 10-2 thing

i remember when i first got 10-2, i didnt understand that it was all about the sidequests, so when it kept telling me to go places, i just would go there instead of going every place except that, and i was annoyed wondering why the game was so hard i think i didnt realize until a friend had the strat guide with him at school and it was thick as hell

yea thats the funny thing, the airship location list puts up a big RECOMMENDED or whatever on the next story location, and you really should go to every place on the list except that

X-2 is a way better game than X but I imagine people were pissed paying full price for a game that was basically a copy paste of X's art and world

Evil Eagle posted:Alright let's talk about fabula nova crystallis. I think that it's odd that Lightning is the only character on the cover of all 3 games when she's arguably only the main character of one of them and she barely appears in FFXIII-2. Vanille is the most important character in FFXIII imo and of course Serah and Noel share FFXIII-2. Serah really should be on the cover of 2 theres no excuse for that

i still really like x and yeah the world being kind of stiff and lifeless makes sense because the world has been stiff and lifeless since there's a giant monster that destroys towns constantly wandering around and we established a suicide cult of wizards who kill it only to take it's place

I never played any of the 13 games ... from everything I've heard the first one doesn't sound nearly as fun mechanically as XII-2 or Lightning Returns but am I gonna be totally lost if I skip it? I don't have a PS3 or PC to play them on so i'll have to rent them on psnow i think

i like VI and V on the SNES a lot. FFT, T-A and T-A2 are my favorite overall, and the adventure game on the gameboy is great too. i've never finished a 3D final fantasy D:

They moved to a more open structure and made the combat stone cold easy because a lot of people couldnt wrap their heads around XIII. You can raise monsters to fight for you and theres a lot more stuff to explore in XIII-2 but the original has much better difficulty and design, even if it is pretty slow ramp. Story wise none of it matters because each game has a pretty self contained story with characters that just cross over as needed

Making the game more open and less linear came at a cost. The difficulty curve was all out of whack in FFXIII-2. Lightning Returns did a great job of being both nonlinear and mostly difficult.

i dont like x but i like the optional stuff, in theory. in practise its too grindy though but its cool that it had bosses that were so deep in the game u needed 255 in every stat to beat them. and the dark aeons and stuff which im not sure american people got
