Can't believe how clearly one can differentiate between Ramza's labia majora and minora on his model. hosed up how female it is.

It's almost as though removing these characters entirely from the situations that normally drive them would change their motivations.

Gilgamesh was super fun underleveled without gambits. I worked out a successful strategy that was all about casting Reverse with perfect timing.

Ultima also isn't the final esper, who you also don't have to be at level 99 to get.

But I meant just on a casual blind playthrough. Getting to Ultima is harder than fighting her, but you should be able to handle it at your level.

I still remember this guide: http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/459841-final-fantasy-xii/faqs/45900 It's dense but super helpful, there's tons of poo poo FF12 never tells you.

I sincerely want someone to release a bunch of production details about it. I would read a book about what happened. Something crazy must have been going on behind the scenes, because there are some bizarre decisions there.

Chrono Cross seriously feels like they started making one game and ended up with another midway through. Maybe they picked game ideas by throwing darts while yelling "I'm doing Yakra's needle attack!"

There are so many things to like about Chrono Cross, but it's still not good. It is very interesting, though.

Shadow Hearts 3 is a mess, yeah. It has all the elements of something quirky and interesting but it's just not that memorable.

I don't understand how you can not like Ni No Kuni. It has all the charm of Dragon Quest mixed with all the charm of Studio Ghibli. I love it.

Oh noooooo the video game is childish, children might enjoy the video game, it's not serious or mature at all and it does not appeal to me, a grown-up gamer who almost never spills his apple juice even with a grown-up cup.

14 does some neat stuff with dungeons and party matching, but the setting and characters are really dull. An MMO that really goes for one of Final Fantasy's crazy pseudomodern technomagic worlds would have been great, but FF14 just takes place in a very boring world. I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't hold me.

It was bizarre, because I expected to hate the MMO mechanics and enjoy playing an FF game, but instead I liked the MMO mechanics and felt disappointed because it wasn't FF enough.

Here's my FF rankings, I mostly organized things into tiers because trying to pick personal preferences is an insane exercise. 1: FF6, FF9 - This is the series operating on all cylinders. The sendoffs to the series' two peak eras, pushing the limits of the hardware, with all-around solid classic FF mechanics. 2. FF5, FF7 - Five has some of the best battle and classic mechanics in the series, but a weak plot. 7 has a strong plot (marred in the U.S. by an iffy translation) and amazing worldbuilding, especially in disc 1, but it's incredibly easy and battles aren't all that interesting. 3. FFX-2, FFXIII-3 - Two weird, charming sequels manage to surpass the games they came after. They're memorable, they do interesting things with the mechanics, and they're a lot of fun. They don't quite match up to the epic scope of the main-line games, but they're really good. 4. FF1, FF4, FF10, FF12, FF13-1, FF13-2 - The first Final Fantasy was really interesting for its time, and it's aged better than 2 or 3. 4 pushed the series forward, but like 1, 10, and 13, getting used to the new tech means the game hasn't aged amazingly. 12 is controversial, but it's all-around fine. It has its issues, it does some cool things. Production was kind of a mess. 13 tried a lot of new things, but it has a lot of 10's issues: it's very linear, and players aren't given a lot of interesting options in terms of character building or battles for most of the game. 13-2 is about on par with 13-1. It does some neat things but doesn't improve on 13 as much as 13-3. 5. FF8 - This is the category where we start to get into bad game territory, although it's hard to pin 8 down, hence why it gets its own category. The world is cool and flavorful, the plot is an unbelievable mess. Junctioning makes for some neat character choice things, but battles can get tedious with the Draw system. Has some cool setpieces, but... I honestly have to wonder if there weren't a lot of production issues or something. 6. FF2, FF3 - 2 made a lot of really bizarre choices. Remakes improved on them a little, but it's still just a total mess. 3 is probably the worst game in the series - the job system is cool, but the balance is totally non-existent. They didn't really figure that out until 5. The DS remake somehow makes things worse, somehow emphasizing the long, no-save-point dungeons. But the music is gorgeous, so there's that.

I didn't rank the MMOs because legitimately I have no idea how to compare them reasonably to the main series. I also didn't do Tactics or the spinoffs. I also tried not to rank things based on my personal preference, but instead what I felt was a fair understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, hence having a lot of games in the middle. For instance, I would put 12 up and 7 further down if it was just which games I liked.

7 also has a problem of combat being really simple and pretty tedious for a long time, but I give it a high ranking just because it really pushed what the FF series could do in terms of scope and storytelling (although 6 gets a ton of credit there as well).

One of the things that makes the FF series cool is that they're willing to try totally crazy stuff with each new game. Dragon Quest slowly refined and polished its mechanics with each game, and does a great job with it. Final Fantasy took a successful first game and followed it up with a very controversial sequel that did a lot of really weird things, and that's awesome even if the game wasn't great.

10 isn't bad. None of the games in that tier are bad. 10 has some issues, but they don't ruin it. It does plenty of cool stuff. It has solid character writing. The plot is fine. It just isn't exceptionally great at anything like the games above it. 10 did a good job of moving the series to the PS2, but it doesn't have a lot going on that other games in the series didn't do better.
