Alright, let's settle this once and for all. What is the best Final Fantasy game ever?
Fuck you
>>724328579FF7 with real time combat so ff7 rebirth
Has anyone in the existence even played every single final fantasy game?
>>72432857910> 14 > 6 > 8> 9 > 12 > rest > 7
>>724328579I guess I have to pick 7 cause that was the one that got me into the series. I don't really want to though.
>>724328769I'm sure there's a Japanese salary man that knows/has done it all, with nary an inch to move around in his apartment full of figurines and garbage.
>>724328579Xenogears
>>724328579
>>724328579Mystic Quest

>>724328579Tactics>7>6>9>3>5>Rebirth>16>Remake>15>1>12>X-2>2>10>Tactics DS>Tactics GBA>8>4>Origins>13>LegendMy uncle created FF and this is the objectively correct list based on the enjoyment of first time playing.Captcha:VAJ4X
>>724328769I have played every one that isn't digital only/GaaS garbage.
XIII-2
8
7 because it's my favorite 6 or 9 if I was being "objective"I love FFX- idc if I'm a fag for itWas it 12 or 13 with fran/ashes? I loved that game despite it having my least favorite protagonist
>>724329060It depends on the combat I think. Atleast for me personally I enjoyed rebirth combat the most. However if I had to pick relative to when they were released then 7 and 9 were better and ahead of their time
>>724328938Sadly the best PS1 game tops my rank for aged most like milk. I'd call it unplayable to modern zoom zooms.Sadly demake prime territory.
>>724328579My favorite one.
>>724329295>9>15 second random battle load timesAnd I absolutely agree with you. Such simpler times, I want to go back.
>>7243285796 T-Edition.
>>7243285792
>>724328769almost me, i haven't played any of the 13s and i don't feel like i'm missing out on much.as far as non mainline, tactics is up there but not number 1, nothing else comes close.6>9>14>7>4>5>16>10>12>11>1>8>15>3>2
>>724328769You'd have to be japanese or very very dedicated since there are so many now that are left in a completely unplayable state thanks to mobile game shit.
>>724329672So bad it wraps around to good again. No wrong answers. Emperor might be the best villian in the series.>>724329593I just got this set up but started playing shitty Mario 64 mods instead. I should make the switch.
>724328727>724328825>724328829>724328938>724328995>724329059>724329060>724329191>724329221>724329229>724329449>724329593Bullshit.
>>724328579The only spinoff I've played is Tactics which was very good but it's still VII. I might have put Tactics at the top if it somehow had more traditional exploration though.
>>724329710I will never get the 5 enjoyers who hate 3. My biggest zoom zoom fan compliant. Which you obviously arent as a filthy 4 enjoyer but seriously why?!I also love how no matter how anybody ranks anything 12 is always mid.
>>724329952KekI despised the combatand items, but did love everything else about this game. Ending was unreal good.
>>724329710I will never trust anybody who puts an MMO in the top 3.You are lost and I will mourn you.
>>724328579I'm gonna go with a outside choice and say Final Fantasy 4. It's just a nice straightforward game with no bloat, basic mechanics and a good story with memorable characters. It's the framework template for the JRPG genre and I kinda like the simplicity of it
>>724328579Final Fantasy X. The only way it could have been improved is by having a true open world with airship and more settlements and lore details. In terms of actual fightan and stat growth content it (along with x2 international) is the pinnacle of the series.
>>724330323For decades Japan always ranked it at or near the top unlike NA. I really disliked it but it was the last one I played after powering through 1-6 so I should give it another fairer shake.
>>724328579XII, all the people claiming it's an offline-MMO are fucking stupid treating that like it's a bad thing. The worst part of XI & XIV is the cancerous other players. >>724329191Honorable mention, I liked XIII as well and the sequel felt like a refined version of the first even if it's a bait & switch with the story cause despite Lightning being on the cover she's hardly in the game. Never played LR though. Also XV wasn't that bad, and I played it on launch.
>>724328769I played all mainline titles aside from mmo
I will accept VII or X too.
>>724330184every time i play 3 i just wanna play 5 the entire time, the job system is just so much more fun, so 3 gets docked some personal points for me. 3 is kinda mid until the last dungeon desu, but the last dungeon gauntlet is one of the best in the series.i shoulda put more >>>> between 3 and 2, cause thats the only big gap for me, a lot of hard choices making a list like this.
>>724329710>>724328825>>724328989>xievers
rate/hate
I have the best taste in the thread 12 > 10 > 5 > 9 > 4 > 6 > 7 > 16 > 8 > 3 > 13 > 15 > 1 > 2
>>724330793If you love X and V, I think X-2 is definitely worth trying. Its like there love child.
>>724330932i think this anon >>724330793 has significantly better taste.
>>724331095It's the percentage autism that gets me. I'm not really a 100%er but being locked out of the super special ending with Tidus unless I play the game twice or follow a guide sucks. I don't even really mind the lighter vibes. It reminds me a lot of LR in how neat it is. Having to do certain things specifically and check every map almost every chapter to see what's new is neat but progression is so fucking slow that way. It was pretty fun but i've put it in my backlog while I clear some more "simple JRPGs"
>>724330932Are you even allowed to use that pic while posting 9 fourth?
Combat / mechanics, 5Story, 2
>>724331217Yes because liking a character doesn’t mean the whole package is the best
>>724328579V
Notes: I only ever played Crystal Chronicles solo so I haven't honestly played it (it fucking sucks solo man) but I still had to include it on a technicality.I didn't organize the rows whatsoever, it's just the general feeling of how much I enjoyed the game upon its completion (or when I just stopped playing in some cases). The exception to this is the top row, that is properly in order.
>Flawless deep combat >Great characters >Great story >Great art direction >Great OST>Waifus >Good graphics >Lots of content >Memorable moments that stay with you long after the game ends This is a 10/10 game
>>724331691I like this guy. Why can't you be more like this guy? Playing VII R but not VII is quite a choice though.
>>724331979question, why did you hate LR and Tactics Advance?
>>724331691>Dissidia, FF Legend 3>Haven't played: FFXHonestly I love it. You are exactly the kind of person I'd love to have a beer with.
>>724331812He cant be real? I want to believe though.
>>724332046I actually replayed FFTA not long ago and i think i have to reevaluate its place since i had tons of funBut back in the day i thought that1. it had the same grindy lvl up system as FFT (at least they streamlined the AP earning system)2. The item system to get quests felt really confusing and poorly streamlined, you end up having quests in the first chapter that you wont be able to do until much, much laterBut i replayed it not long and i would put it easily AAs for LR, its tough because i was enjoying the game but never finished it1. didnt like the time deadline 2. the stagger system is way too restrictive and you wont damage anything unless you stagger3. story wise was kinda boringthats it
>>724328769As in every single FF release? Probably not many. All mainline titles though, sure, especially now that most of them are readily accessible.
>>724328579IX
>>724332390Fair.
>>724332390The time deadline isn't that big of a deal, I was stressing out about it at first but ended up doing everything I wanted to do and sleeping through all my extra time in the end.If it's stressing you out you can spend your points from fights to stop time and just play the game.
>>724332625I remember reading that you are not suppposed to do everything in one playthrough and instead you should just play normally as you can and then re-start from the beginning with all the powerups from the beginningwhich i get, maybe i should try it again
>>724331691FF legend games don't really belong desu as they're actually SaGa titles that had their names changed for overseas releases.
>>724330793>A: XIII
>>724332784:OBased!
>>724328579VII>VI>VII>IX>X-2>X>
>>724333007>VII>VI>VIII can see why you'd rank them like this, but do explain.
>>724332863keep telling yourself that.
>>724328579I find it kind of pointless to argue what the "best" isI like the PS1 era mostI'd say VII is my favorite mostly because of nostalgia, but VIII and IX aren't far from it
>>724328769https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7EYkGRit2A
>>724328579It's not quite my favorite entry, but I think 10 is the overall best game in the series.
>>724328579I appreciate FFT the most as a complete game. If it's numbered FFs only, FFVII was the first one where I was old enough to appreciate the nuances of a long form story, and that's a hell of a first for a 12 year old. FFXI is my favorite Final Fantasy because I was around for its golden age, so the community at the time boosts its rank for me. MMOs lose a lot of luster when you don't have a lot of other people like you to play with so I can't imagine it holds up as well in its elderly age.
>>724328579Tactics
>>724330793I like how literally half of the tiers are basically N/A
>>724328579ff11
>>724333862I respect itif I were to rank FFs I couldn't give a worthwhile ranking of I, III, IV, VI, XIII and XIII-2 at least because it's just been too long for me to rank all of those if I'm being completely honest, even if I have loose feelings of where I'd place them
>>724334242Lmao
>>7243301843 is dogshit. You don't really interact with the job system the same was as in 5, you just occasionally get to a gimmick boss/dungeon where you have to use 4 of one job and then never touch again because the gimmick is worthless outside that.
>>724329593>t edition What why mod VI?What changes did they make,I literally just reached the WoR on my vanilla playthrough how do I get back Tina and Mog she wanted to stay with the kids?
I have an unreasonable hate for FFX.I loved 7, liked 8, kind of liked 9 even though 9 combat was slooooooow and then... X... WTF was that? Those minigames,? That (more than usual) braindead combat? That story written by a 6-year old? Voice acting that was cringey... It's like everyone that likes X, is somehow extra offending to me. I hate you and I want you to suffer. Blitzball was cool, I give you that.
>>724335547same but with ff4i dont understand what people see in it
>>724335547I overall like X, but I was really disappointed with no world map/travel being a teleport. I get it fits the story but still>>724335593I think IV is one of the more overhyped FF games. The story is ok, but it leaned way too hard in fake out deaths. I liked II more desu
>>724335547but it's fun
>>724334242I don't understand
>>724333862I really don't know what to say about 1-4. They're okay? They don't take up much headspace for me.

tactics or 10
>>724328579FF11
>>724328579Honestly cant say about game.Rydia Best Girl though.
>>724337621correct
I love Ivalice, the aesthetics, the stories, even the GBA and DS games. FFT is great and I loved FFXII's gambitsIX is the quintessential Final Fantasy while X is close behind for me
>>724334124Cant be that many S-tier games
>>724339690Half of those are the same gameBut if it makes you feel better imagine VIII and the XIV expansions at the start of A
8 > 9 > 5 > 3 > 10 > 6 > 4 > 7 > 1 > 2The rest of the games are irrelevant.
To every fan of FF what's your favorite >non final fantasy RPG>non RPG game >favorite FF.
>>7243285799 is the goat
>>724335593Simplicity. also as far as plot goes, 4 is oddly the fastest paced one, even if the story gets batshit stupid.
>>7243285795
>>724328769I have played all mainline from 1-16 except 11 and 14 I dropped after stormbloodAlso crisis coreworld of final fantasytacticsdirge of cerberusFFXIII-2lightning returnsstranger of paradiseCrystal chroniclesTactics advanceFFXII: revenant wingstype-0Dissidia 1&2FFVII remake & rebirthAs for the mobile games I touched opera omnia, brave exvius, war of the visions and record keeper's japanese versions, but i never could get into themI don't know if I missed anything but I am too lazy to look it up
>>724334989Both will naturally rejoin. Hope you waited for shadow on the floating island though..
>>724328579Lightning Returns. [Among real Final Fantasies (II - IX + XIII-2) it's VI.)
