Unless you are leaning on the big games suck stuff, which is what I think. But my play is very against type.

Noice, IA wins even though he shares everyone's collective amnesia of how a tier list works.

S tier: IV - Admittedly coloured by nostalgia, but this game just does so many things well. The characters each have very individualised abilities, and their rotating in and out of the party based on where you are in the story keeps things fresh. The plot is often cliched, but it hits strong emotional notes. And Cecil's whole arc has surprising depth that makes him my favourite FF protagonist by far. The dark knight redeeming himself and becoming a paladin seems like such a basic archetype. But Cecil's struggles in the early game to grapple with the wrong done by his country and its leader, and having the integrity and the courage to question it, putting actual morality over patriotism (even though said leader is family to him!), stands out to me as such a valuable example that I wish more people took to heart in our lovely political climates.

A tier: IX, X, Tactics, VII

B tier: VI (more of a B+, I do love this game a lot but just not quite as much as the ones above)

C tier: VIII, Mystic Quest

D tier: V, I, III

F tier: II

Get off my lawn tier: anything past X

12 might be my favorite. 15 is easy better than people give it credit for but I don't blame them, it shipped unfinished. The cute boy band protagonists do a lot of the heavy lifting to make the game fun

Nice try, jester.

I freely admit that it could be rose colored glasses but FF8 was the first FF game that I finished from start to end. I was never a fan of RPG's in general (outside of Chrono Trigger and FF7). I had purchased Parasite Eve and it had a demo of FF8 and I just thought it was loving cool. The summons were cool, the magic looked amazing, the quality in graphics and cinematics was such a leap over FF7. I thought the story was cool. I enjoyed the depth of the junctioning system (even if I thought the Draw system was kind of stupid since it discouraged using Magic). Triple Triad was fun (unless you accidently spread the Random rule then it loving sucked). My complaint centered on the last act of the game and how the whole game Edea is the villain and then out of nowhere HERE IS ULTAMECIA (I still don't like it). My wife bought it on Ps4 last year and I was amazed at how much I got sucked into it again.

Yes because you always gripe about big games and how you can't keep up.

Thus it is your meta.

Also explain how not posting a lot is against your meta... maybe sometimes you get excited (That One Shine Game) but you are not a font of posting my friend
