4 was my introduction to the series and I still play it regularly. It is almost 100% linear but drat its good.

HD DAD posted:I somehow made it to disc 4 without knowing how to junction when I was 12, and then gave up at Ultimecia’s Castle because man why is this game so hard!? This was my experience on my first playthrough as well. I didn't have a playstation and played it at my best friend's house, who started it and skipped the tutorial while I wasn't there.

Namnesor posted:FF4 is an easy game to get into. It's very linear, there's no grinding necessary (except maybe when you first get Rydia) to blast through the story, the music rules, the gameplay's fun, the characters are good. For me, at least, when I want to play an RPG that asks for little beyond basic cognitive function, FF4 is my go-to. The only two places in the game you can run into some trouble not just mindlessly playing through are the metallic cave & and underground cave with all the fake doors. FF4 is on my list of "i'm sick and couchbound" games I have played 20+ times on the SNES. It isn't particularly deep but holy poo poo is it good.

grieving for Gandalf posted:actually did you guys know the speed of enemies in FF4 are based off of Cecil's speed, so you actually want him to be slower and everyone else faster Wait, WHAT. How does this even work? How am I still learning new tidbits about this game?

I think I've played 6 a dozen times and never realized what Runic did.

morallyobjected posted:I love WoFF and it's one of my favourite FF games to come out in the last 20 years (and honestly ever). it makes me sad to think we're never gonna get a sequel. There were so many weird bad design decisions that could've been ironed out in a sequel. I really enjoyed it but also 100% understand why most didn't.

jokes posted:Do we like XIII? It's not a TERRIBLE game like I originally thought but they really hosed up in establishing the world. Maybe a 30 second promo to explain what Pulse is and everything would have been good? I don't know. 13 is a flawed game with promise. 13-2 is garbage. 13-3 is solid.

ApplesandOranges posted:XV is an excellent open world game but to the detriment of the main plot, which mostly exists just so you can finally do more open world content. I also just didn't like the combat in 15, it felt like it was a half baked version of what ended up in 7R.

Unlucky7 posted:So for FF1 I chose a Warrior-Thief-White Mage-Black Mage party. Will this give me any trouble down the road? This is pretty much the boilerplate party composition.

Mr. Fortitude posted:Going back to FFXIV 1.0 chat, I always wondered if they could make an offline single player game using 1.0's assets to retell it's story. Like how Dragon Quest X is coming out with a single player offline version. So much of the combat relied on setting up inter-player combos that I'm not sure how it would even work with AI party members without a major overhaul. I played a lot of 1.0 and it was not good.

Snow Cone Capone posted:IIRC the Dragoon one essentially required you to use a very specific order of abilities and items, and you still had to pray for luck to do enough damage before he killed you. Why would you remind me I did this.

The curve in 4 was very forgiving, without any grinding I had the entire team survive dark bahamut's opening megaflare. Bunch of bosses never really did anything before going down. It is an easy game to begin with but they really set you up for success. Whether its for people playing through these for nostalgia and the soundtrack, or new players who never touched the originals, its probably a good call for keeping it quick and approachable.

Last Celebration posted:Huh, I thought FF4 was kinda primitive/simplistic but it’s always good to be wrong on stuff like that. Does the DS version keep, like, any of those little wrinkles or just the clearly conveyed “Electricity dissipates the barrier” and the Bahamut countdown parts? There's a book in the library leading to Leviathan/Asure that tells you to reflect Bahamut's magic back at him to win.

HD DAD posted:Yeah, it’s this. Discs 2 and 3 for IX consequently seem very long. I think overall VIII had the most equal balance of the first three discs. Disc 1 of 8 and 9 are both so, so good.
