how much did you play? i can see it not really catching on if you didn’t make it to when the main loop makes itself known but if you made it past that and still aren’t into it then it’s probably not for you

not enough to enter the loop

couldn’t work out how to launch rocket at the start lol

but I really have heard such good things, I am prepared to persist with it

all the primal themes are great and the ones with lyrics usually tell the story of the primal in questions. it's a shame the power creep on gear allows most groups to kill them before the music gets going

ah. make sure you do *every* tutorial at the beginning as the game is very efficient in terms of gameplay mechanics so everything there is important to understand. that includes flying the model rocket :v:

if you grab 9 on pc, there's an incredibly thoughtful ml-upscale project called moguri mod where they also redid the alpha masks, hand retouched up scales if results weren't right, and expanding the viewport for modern displays

i had a fit of nostalgia and grabbed 9 and the mod on my desktop and chrono cross on switch and frankly its a testament to the fan work on 9 compared to an official rerelease of a game from the same era from square

I liked X and it's one of the more mechanically interesting ones too (the levelling system is catnip for me). X-2 and 12 I remember enjoying but I think that was mostly me being a nerdy teen, 12 especially is way too slow paced.

i liked the gamieness of 5. but you should deffo try 6. good mechanics with some dumb broken stuff and interesting characters/story

i have 9 since ps3 days but haven't ever had the time to really get into it. but it's supposably pretty good

if you want to play them all at once just play 14 :haw:

fr though 9 and X are notbad, notbad. i hated 8. 7 is too long in the tooth but the story and materia system is iCoNiC

If you liked 7 then you will probably like 9

6 is the best of the old-school FF games, but it just doesn't click with some people so don't worry if it doesn't do anything for you

people who like 8 are weird

10 is very love it or hate it

I find it hard to believe that they don't have source materials backed up somewhere. but that's what they claim

right? developers dig out partial source for games all the time, stuck on old drives in their garage, but somehow the entirety of this one disappeared from everywhere

10 has a great place where you cam just stop if you arent vibing with it. Yuna even says “this upcoming section is a long boring slog where many people give up”

Like all FF games, it would benefit from being like 75% shorter and actually believing in its own mechanics

What was the part that FFX slowed down at? I thought it was a fairly well paced game. It's a JRPG, the story is supposed to be 20+ hours.
