Alright, let's settle this once and for all. What is the best Final Fantasy game ever?
>>
Fuck you
>>
>>724328579
FF7 with real time combat so ff7 rebirth
>>
Has anyone in the existence even played every single final fantasy game?
>>
>>724328579
10> 14 > 6 > 8> 9 > 12 > rest > 7
>>
>>724328579
I guess I have to pick 7 cause that was the one that got me into the series. I don't really want to though.
>>
>>724328769
I'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.

7 because it's my favorite
6 or 9 if I was being "objective"
I love FFX- idc if I'm a fag for it
Was it 12 or 13 with fran/ashes? I loved that game despite it having my least favorite protagonist
>>
>>724329060
It 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
>>
>>724328938
Sadly 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.

almost 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

You'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.

So bad it wraps around to good again. No wrong answers. Emperor might be the best villian in the series.

I just got this set up but started playing shitty Mario 64 mods instead. I should make the switch.

The 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.
>>
>>724329710
I 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.

I despised the combatand items, but did love everything else about this game. Ending was unreal good.

I will never trust anybody who puts an MMO in the top 3.

I'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
>>
>>724328579
Final 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.
>>
>>724330323
For 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.

XII, 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.

>>724329191
Honorable 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.
>>
>>724328769
I played all mainline titles aside from mmo
>>
I will accept VII or X too.
>>
>>724330184
every 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.

>>724331095
It'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"

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.

I actually replayed FFTA not long ago and i think i have to reevaluate its place since i had tons of fun
But back in the day i thought that
1. 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 later
But i replayed it not long and i would put it easily A

As for LR, its tough because i was enjoying the game but never finished it
1. didnt like the time deadline
2. the stagger system is way too restrictive and you wont damage anything unless you stagger
3. story wise was kinda boring
thats it
>>
>>724328769
As in every single FF release? Probably not many. All mainline titles though, sure, especially now that most of them are readily accessible.
>>
>>724328579
IX
>>
>>724332390
Fair.
>>
>>724332390
The 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.
>>
>>724332625
I 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 beginning
which i get, maybe i should try it again

I find it kind of pointless to argue what the "best" is

I'd say VII is my favorite mostly because of nostalgia, but VIII and IX aren't far from it

>>724328579
It's not quite my favorite entry, but I think 10 is the overall best game in the series.
>>
>>724328579
I 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.

if 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

3 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.

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.

>>724335547
same but with ff4
i dont understand what people see in it

>>724335547
I overall like X, but I was really disappointed with no world map/travel being a teleport. I get it fits the story but still
>>724335593
I 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
