My first was X and it still remains my favorite. I think it shaped how I feel about the series since I tend to enjoy the newer ones more than the older ones I have played.

I guess I'm one of the few who's first FF was their favorite. Played 10 first and then went back to the older ones, but it still remains my favorite. And from what I've heard, Type-0 actually turned out to be a stinker, which is a shame.

For me personally, any shortcomings with the individual stories of the FF X party members is made up with how they truly did act like a giant family. Auron teasing Yuna about her bed hair was one of my favorite scenes.

I love that track. Actually, I would be willing to say that XIII-2 and XIII are up there with X as my favorite soundtracks.

Auron is weird because he visibly aged from the time of his death to the events of X. I'm pretty sure "35" is post death.

From what I recall, XIII-2's translation was a lot better, but maybe I just think that because Caius was great.

voltron lion force posted:Out of curiosity what'd you think of FFX and FFX-2? Its sort of a pet theory of mine that people that like the 10 series inexplicably hate on the 13 series. Funnily enough, I personally felt in my experience that people that enjoyed X and X-2 also enjoyed XIII and XIII-2 as well and thought that was the norm.

I'm actually kind of surprised at the 2014 release date. I figured SE would be fully concentrating on next-gen by then. Maybe I'm mis-remembering though about the end of last generation, and how long it took for companies to transition to 360 and PS3. EDIT: XIII-2 had a couple amusing scenes if you picked the goofy dialogue choices for Serah. Also there was the whole sidequest about the Super Sentai Flan kids.

Great Lakes Log posted:Yeah for sure. I mean this is a game where, moments before the big Final Battle, as the cast stands before the core of the planet and like, poo poo is Real, Cloud turns around and says "Alright gang, let's mosey!" As annoying as it is, I thought it was hilarious neat detail that Yuffie screws up all of your Materia layouts at the end of the Wutai arc.

Great Lakes Log posted:Also after that brief bit where you use Cid as the leader, he briefly mentions how annoying it was to keep track of everyone's Materia. Man, I wish Cid was leader longer. Cid Highwind was definitely my favorite character from VII. EDIT: And as dumb as Advent Children was, I loved how it had Cid briefly doing his goofy running animation.

Oh man, that combat trailer. I mentioned it in the general E3 thread, but I love how the party triple teamed the Iron Giant. Reminds me of an anime version of WWE's The Shield.

No one in this thread has taste because Every Game is the Worst Game in the Series. I am looking forward to X and X-2, though, mostly because of the combat. I loved being able to switch party members on the fly in X.

I guess if we're showing off our unpopular opinions, I like X, X-2, XIII, and XIII-2. And I actually enjoyed what I played of the DS version of III (I bet that's the most unpopular opinion.) But like others, I don't really hate any of the ones I've played.

ShadeofDante posted:Yep! This is pretty much summed up why XIII-2 is the best. (Along with amazing music and the best combat in the series.) A good amount of XIII-2 is pretty dark for a Final Fantasy game. Off the top of my head I think of the fragments of the mercenary who becomes more bitter as casualties pile on, and those weird red orbs that trap the consciousnesses of people. Also the Paradox ending where Serah accepts the fake Lightning's offer and the fragment for it are pretty twisted.

Man, they really are anime The Shield (as in the WWE team). I do hope there are a some female party members, though.

Don't mind for one bit that SE is pulling at my fanboy strings, I'm excited for the Cloud outfit. And hey, it's a lot better looking than a lot of the ones we've seen so far! Get me a Balthier outfit for a Gunner type class and I'll be golden.

Lighting is awesome for recruiting Mog by defeating him in Rocks, Paper, Scissors. (She threw Scissors three times in a row.)

It doesn't help that she's barely in 13-2. You get some scenes at the beginning and end and some fragments that talk about her.

Lightning would just spend the game punching Wakka.

I'm also playing XIII-2 again and I didn't realize how many areas I haven't unlocked even though I finished the game. And on top of that I'm out of Wild Artefacts. It's going to be a pain to figure out which ones I still need to get.CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I just hope you aren't OCD about catching monsters because some of them only spawn on certain platforms.

Looking forward to his Aeris outfit! I also wonder what happened to Mog. I forgot if he's still around after the ending of XIII-2.
