In 10 the characters are interchangeable sans limits and in 12 vanilla even with limits. The series is much more iterative than people think of it, with most design decisions being variations of previous systems rather than totally new stuff.

1 might not have a true job system but I think it should get some credit for at least letting you pick distinct classes at the beginning, like I think it's a clear prologue to the real job system (and I'm pretty sure every job system has had those 6 classes as jobs even)

1 has the truest job system, since it's literally just a D&D Campaign.

I changed my mind, ff2 is the most important final fantasy because it led to my actual favorite jrpg series and I will never hate it because of that (but it is really bad yeah)

I had a lot of fun with FF Legend 2 as a kid, and it made a lot of sense when I later played SaGa Frontier and learned they came from the same roots. I've never tried FF2 though, I take it it's probably too unpolished by today's standards to really be enjoyable?

Orcs and Ostriches posted:Due to 4's rigidity, I also think it has the strongest 'character development through gameplay mechanics' than the rest of the series. A lot of the details in 4 wouldn't work in something open like 1, or as flexible as 5. Tellah is the best angriest old man.

I just came in here to vent to people who might understand, but I just spent 2.5 hours fighting and beating FFXV's Adamantoise, did a Return to Car and my game froze on the loading screen. Restarting it set me back before I started the bounty. I'd like to die now.

Do you have the ring? I suggest using the instakill spell and get it over with. It will succeed eventually.

I like the idea of FF2 but I stopped playing after I insta-killed one of the overpowered guards in the Empire occupied city and, unlike every other RPG ever, my entire party did not level up like crazy.

If you're going to play 4, either get a translation patch for or a rerelease of the original. It's been long enough I couldn't tell you why, but I remember the game being much more interesting to play than the US release.

The PSP version is best for a more traditional version, with it using the GBA version as a base without some of the bugs that one had. It has a post game and option to use party members who never could be used after a certain point. DS/Steam version is not suggested on a first playthrough, as it remixes a lot of the elements of the game while retaining the same world design. It much tougher as well due to bosses having entirely new AI and moves. Instead of getting to use the party members who leave again later, you gain their abilities that can be slapped on other temporary members to get their moves or permanent party members to boost them. Worth it for crying Kain. SNES 'Final Fantasy 2' is either for nostalgically or speed running at this point or using the Free Enterprise.

Was there ever a good translation for the original FF4 hardtype release? I know there was one put out for it long ago, but it was absolute trash and worse than the janky as hell NA release.

Every English FF4 release besides the SNES version and any direct ports of it (Wii Virtual Console) are based on the hard type, including the PS1, GBA, and PSP releases. If you want a faithful translation go with the 3D remake, all the various 2D translations apparently have various issues, even the later ones.

Alright, folks: 2, 13, 15? I realize they're vastly different but like I said those are the last 3 FF games remaining that I haven't played also 12. hello, Switch release in late April.

I beat 13 last week and was pretty fun once you got the hang of the gambit system. I am on 15 right now and really enjoying it, but heard the later chapters are eh. I want to play 2 again, but waiting on my replacement PSP Go component cable as the one I got is really lovely compared to the offical one I ordered.

Elephant Ambush posted:13. It owns (except for the story (and Snow(gently caress Snow))). On the bright side, the game has multiple cutscenes of Lightning punching Snow. Even in the big montage of events when the party is recovering before the final boss is a clip of Lightning punching Snow multiple times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZSoM5RjBWM

I genuinely wouldn't recommend you play any of those. Like, you don't need to play every Final Fantasy. Maybe try another series? Dragon Quest? Tales?

Play any post-GBA version of 2. It's fun, relatively short, and tries interesting things. It also has Minwu, who's the coolest white mage in the series.

I played the absolute poo poo out of FFL2 when I was a kid because it was all I had for a while and I even discovered the bgm/sound effect menu on my own. I'm not sure how I, or anyone really, figured to press random buttons until something cool happens.

It's just a kick i'm on, and only the main titles. I actually did DQ and fell off hard on 6. That game just didnt grab me like 4 and 5. I'll return to that series soon. I gave up on FF after 8, and playing X kind of re-ignited my enjoyment of the series. I used to love it, so I'm just going back to see what I missed. I'll also accept recommendations. I'm definitely going to play the remaster of 12. It sounds like my poo poo.

I see no other DLC characters, not even Locke who's just a murder machine, just Snow. So I assume he's popular. Making him XIII's villain rep and using his Lightning Returns design was an inspired choice, though, I give that a thumbs up. Seriously, people, give Dissidia NT a swing if you get a chance. Better than Bandai Namco's arena brawlers, at least.
