Drops out into all this disorder
1) he is a pov character, someone whos affected by the machinations and failures of the big players around him (on both sides) but who was invisible to them until he was directly confronting them
2) as a result of 1) he changes the course several characters are going on. they dont do an amazing job highlighting this, partly i think because the whole games presentation is meant to be evocative of stage plays, but stuff like ashe eventually rejecting the nethicite is because of him. theres even a shot in the cutscenes on top of pharos where ashe is thinking about using the sun cryst herself and then she looks over to vaan and hes pretty upset and that pushes her the other way.

FF4 or 5, imps? Never played either. This will be the pixel remaster. Decided to give them a try finally, I always judged them very harshly cause I hated the look of FF6 too much.

I’m playing through 4 first time right now and I’m liking it a lot but if you like job systems then 5 is a sure bet

4 has better story, 5 has better gameplay (though 5s story is like saturday morning cartoon goofy so if thats a positive then 5 wins handily).

5 is the better game but 4 is super chill. I say 4 first then 5

Speaking of 4, you really chew through party members huh, it’s kinda nuts lol. I just got rydia back and if theatrhythm is any indication Yang isn’t sticking around for too long.

Also Namingway might be my favorite running gag in the game

Like on paper FF4 should be a weak entry cause there's so little going on systems wise but the plot moves along at such a nice clip that it doesn't matter.

4 was definitely aesthetic over everything else but the aesthetic is really good, in every way

Never actually played through any FF game from before X, aside from playing a bit of 8 at a friend's house. I was thinking of starting off with the FF6 pixel remaster.

if you're interested at all in the previous ones, I'd go back before FF6: it's the most mechanically and narratively complex of the 2D games and the others may feel shallow compared to it

yeah if you wanna check out old ff but aren't so committed that you want to check out the nes games, start with 4 and go through em all from there imo

I've never played FFIV but FFV is a quality video game and highly replayable. I discovered it through the Four Job Fiesta, so it's become a habit of mine to replay it once a year.

What is the best way to play VI? There's all the remasters and stuff these days and some are great and some have aids redone sprites iirc. Is a good version switch?




Thanks Pablo and Sub-Actuality for the great sigs!
