Not a font of posting!? I am wounded deeply. I am usually in the top third of posters.
My vote on you now contains vitriol.

Hmmm maybe more recently but you were pretty inactive for a while in the older days

It’s cool though I’m always in the top half of posters but everyone calls me the greatest lurker

Even though I have 10x the posts of scum squiggly

How do you feel about Grandicaps bad vote?

I'm more concerned with you sounding suspiciously serious so early

Rarity posted:

I think this is the most active I've ever seen Hal play

Eh I've seen him gradually ramp up into getting active, it's more the tone, all "thus" and poo poo, that's getting me, especially so early

Rarity posted:

##vote Hal

He just admitted his posting is for show and not because he cares about finding scum

Oh lol are you serious this makes it seem like not such a good point anymore

Mr. Steak posted:

yeah i agree. admitting it is way worse than doing it (ie half the thread)

Ok maybe Hal is scum but Rarity and Steak are gonna harp on it for stupid annoying reasons

My Final Fantasy stories are barely about the games themselves.
I borrowed Final Fantasy VII from a friend in middle school but he only gave me the first disk. Then summer vacation happened, and I didn't have anything better to do, so I leveled up to 90ish on disc 1. Then we got back from break, I returned the first disk and was so done with the game at that point I never finished it.
Then I got FFVIII for myself, but my computer was such a piece of poo poo, that drawing magic was a tax on the system and it took a good 30 seconds to animate the drawing of magic, so I gave up after finding out about orphans or something because the gameplay was a slog and the story wasn't holding my interest either.
Then in college, one of my roommates got FFXII and because there were 3 save slots, he took one, his girlfriend took the second and I split the third with another roommate. We decided that we would only progress story when we were both there, so because of class schedule, we both just ground out license points or whatever and never really progressed in story. So we were silly overleveled and just got to the ocean or something.
So my experience with Final Fantasy, at least the 3d iterations of them, is that I play them wrong, then get distracted or bored and never finish them.

I guess I did emulate IV, V and, VI and enjoyed playing them and completed them without issue. But I played them well after their release so I feel like it only half counts.

Bifauxnen posted:

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

Im sorry but X was godawful. Final boss sucked, stupid minigame you HAD to play... linear as gently caress.
