I just finished FFVIII and I really really like it. I had tried to play it before on my PS Vita, but I ended up bouncing off of it really hard right after disc one. I’m pretty glad that I gave it another shot. Two thoughts: First, Squall is actually a really good protagonist, especially once you realize that the story is 75% about his emotional growth, and second Drawing and Junctioning are bad systems that I don’t like, but luckily they don’t get too much in the way of the core Final Fantasy gameplay

I just beat Omega Mk XII and got the Scrivener trophy in FFXII Zodiac Age. I only need to do the arena mode and I’ll have platinumed the game. FFXII is good

I picked FFIX back up but boy that game has problems. The battles are so slow and there’s so many missables!

mateo360 posted:and without quoting in your reply I know that how Einstein? That smilie, iirc, is Ironicat. The idea is that you use it when people are being hypocritical or undercutting there own argument. White Dragon found it ironic that I have problems with how slow the combat is in FFIX despite loving FFXII, a game that he, presumably, believes to have slow combat. I’ve always been rubbed the wrong way by it, it always seems to be used by a person being a jerk for little to no good reason. I pretty much always used the speed up in FFXII and I’m not crazy about how long FFIX takes to have a character start their animations in a battle. And there really are too many missables! It’s frustrating to miss out on cutscenes because you went the wrong direction in Treno, or to have to wait on collecting treasure because you didn’t do enough Chocobo Hot and Cold! And don’t even get me started on Tetra Master...

Big Bizness posted:I would love a FF1 remake that really emphazied the scale and dynamics of the world and navigating it in different ways. Something that feels like the Witcher 3 in terms of foliage and terrain, but significantly more diverse in terms of climate and elevation. Make using the canoe and ship, and of course the airship, feel really good and different mechanically then just pointing the stick as if you were still on foot. Allow fast travel for locations already visited. That’s just dark souls. You just want dark souls

I really really hate the combat in IX and the sheer amount of missable cutscenes. I’m considering going back to it but boy it does not seem worth it to me

Himuro posted:Legend of Dragoon had the unfortunate luck of being dubbed a Final Fantasy killer, which it wasn't. It's still a good game though. The combat system was fun as gently caress. I can’t think of a single game that benefitted from being called an “x game” killer

Elephant Ambush posted:This is literally every FF game. They're all equally the easiest games ever made. Even the first time through without a guide. Anyone who has a different experience is literally an infant who will always suck at video games forever. I’d say that that’s not necessarily true for the first three. Also, I’m told XI was difficult (although that’s hard to say for an mmo) and XIII had some difficulty to it

ultrachrist posted:How’s the mobile version of FFV? Haven’t played in forever and might give fiesta a try. It removes some of the bugs that people like to use and, while I have no problem with the graphics, it does, as previously said, make some people poo poo with rage. Besides that its a perfectly fine way to play the game

If you want a less lore heavy more character focused Ivalice game, might I suggest Tactics A2? That game’s plot is mostly there so the main trio can have fun banter

Vaan basically just needed some cool older sibling figures to guide him and dunk on him and a cause beyond revenge to grow as a person, and I think it works well. He’s a good viewpoint character

Zedsdeadbaby posted:Ffxii is basically a retelling of star wars, and has oodles of its own charm added to the mix, its my fave ff by far Final Fantasy’s roots feel like they’re tied to two franchises: D&D and Star Wars. FFXII is super Star Wars but so are FFIV and FFII

jokes posted:Sexualized child soldiers is the foundation upon which Final Fantasy stands tall. I mean... no. No it is not. Not at all To elaborate: child soldiers isn’t an element of the story of most FF games besides VIII, which doesn’t sexualize its characters. There’s a big difference between characters that are designed to look “cool” and sexualized characters. It’s not Selphie is walking around with her boobs out.

Mega64 posted:What's really that pervy in FF1-9? Closest it gets is Tifa having a big chest (which doesn't really factor much into the actual character), a few male characters like Edgar, Irvine, and Zidane being overly-flirtatious, and maybe the 3D redesign for Rydia if you want to count that. And even the later games aren't that horny with the exception of the exceptionally horny FF14. FFXIV isn’t that horny, it’s FFXIV players that are horny Anyways here’s famously sexualized character Celes Cher:

Polderjoch posted:According to this theory, the reason Galuf died in 5 is because he's the only one in the party to ever have had kids. Same goes for Bartz's dad, actually. The game’s about the passing on of generations, and how the kicking a problem down the road is really a bad idea, not sure if it’s having sex that kills you as much as not solving the Evil Tree when you have the chance Cid has a grandson, which implies he hosed at least once, and he’s alive by the end

Gologle posted:Did we play the same game lol The whole point of the Dawn Warriors is that they’re a previous generation whose legacy failure and failure get passed to the Warriors of Light. Lenna also picks up the cause of her father after he failed to prevent the Wind Crystal’s destruction. Then, there’s Exdeath: he’s a tree so full of spirits that he became sentient, evil, and powerful. If people hadn’t kept dealing with evil spirits by chucking them into a tree, he wouldn’t have been created. There’s a whole bunch of other examples of problems in the game that are caused by previous generations kicking the can down the road

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Also Fell Seal was on sale for $10 on Switch and it’s a pretty good FFT clone! It’s not FFT (what is) but it’s has some modern changes to the formula that are welcome. I kind of hate Fell Seal. It makes a lot of bad decisions that I don’t like. The injury system is garbage and makes it way too easy for a unit to fall behind, and a lot of the job designs are either bland or underpowered
