>best FF in your path
WoR? I liked it better when it was called "merged" world"
I like 8.
But thats not jack's game
15 mogs it pretty hard
>>724768354best gameplay, worst story
3, 8, and 11 are the best ones
>>724768289Based, and correct.
OP here sorry I fucked up
>>724768571basedfor me it's chains of promathia
>>724768571Is that some kind of mod for 9?
>>724768456nah IV's story is worse. OHHH UHH I DIED BUT IM BACK NOW!! NO I WASNT A BAD GUY, LE EVIL THING MADE ME DO IT!!!
>>724768759I can follow IV's story
>>724768289No
>>724768756these are all downgrades except for shadow and relm.
>>724768289>>724768756You'd think romhackers and modders would move on to the official PC ports after PR, but no.
>>724768289There is only one good FF
>>724768462>>724768571>>724768603>>724769018Kings
>>724769018Pic unrelated.
>>724768918They literally all still look the same to me what different about them?
>>724769539looks like the romhacker changed them to be closer to amano artwork. celes looks much worse imo
>HP 0>Continues to fightWhy can't modern games be so soulful?
>>724769952Gustave was kino
>>724768289
Just FYI, IV is better than VI
>>724771273Nah, it's too repetitive. You go to the Tower of Babel/Zot like 3 separate times, then once more to another dungeon that's identical to it and then you reach the moon and the game ends 10 minutes later.
>>724771273You’re just saying that because Rydia.
>>724772243Rydia in 3D is boner material.
>>724771273VI is a massive downgrade from V in every way imaginable at least. It feels like a step back.
>>724768462Anything but 12, let's derail the main character a literal friggin sky pirate inspired by setzer crossed with cyan in 6 with a bit of locke thrown in for a spoiled brat melty about his parades and meeting people(Balthier could of saved the game political intrigue like 4 with garland).Yeah I gave that game away, say what you like about 13 , I prefer fem-cloud(10 hr corridor > manchild).
>>724768289>Perfect the Job System in a mainline game>Immediately abandon it outside of Tactics and MMOs
>>724768571Rise of the Zilart chads, this is our thread!>>724769018Based.Reminder that FFXI was under development before the Enix merger and is the last true FF before they started churning out slop.
>>724772950>Reminder that FFXI was under development before the Enix mergerSo was XII
>>724772950>under developmentIt was released before the merger.
>>724769952I like how FFV justifies why the dead party member can't be revived, as opposed to FFVII which doesn't.
FF5 is the least plot-heavy game in the series other than FF1, and it still has one of the most lovable main casts.
>>724768289That's the only mainline FF I haven't finished. It's so fucking boring with a retarded story.
>>724773493No need to describe your existence.
>>724768289>Verification not requireFf4 is the best ff and best jarpig
>>724773463What is there to justify? In gameplay characters never die, they're just unable to continue fighting.
>>724773493Its the gameplay autism one.Kinda like how the Fire Emblem community has LTC and draft races, FF has FF5 Fiesta Runs.
>>724773972>In gameplay characters never dieThen why do some games allow them to turn into zombies which sets their HP to 0?
>>724768456the story in stranger of paradise is absolute kino.
>>724774125For the same reason why Zell can run around the planet in a few seconds or Sabin can outrun and suplex a train
>>724774042>Its the gameplay autism oneAnd that's why it's the best one, since even in the best-written FF games, the writing is still shit.
>>724768289I liked 4 Heroes of Light more as far as job system Final Fantasy games go. 4HoL's job level up system doesn't waste any of your time and the hats are cute.
>>724774042Gameplay isn't anything special either. Dragon Quest 4 blows it out the water
>>724769018Yeah, and it's FFT.
>>724774532I heard that one was alright, but never got around to playing it.
>>724773463It is almost always 戦闘不能 in RPGs, i.e "Unable to fight". The status is almost never actually "Dead". Hell, phoenix down cures the aforementioned status and doesn't state that it revives anyone.
>>724774636T is for tranny and that makes you a degenerate.
>>724774569DQ4 is mind numbing. DQ gameplay didn't start not sucking ass until DQ8.
>>724774130no it's pretty shit. I don't buy the "ironic/self-aware/cheesy shit" kino, or forced My Way feels.
>>724774775I liked it more than the Bravely games that it's kind of a spiritual predecessor to because it doesn't waste your time or reuse areas like they do. The story, while less detailed, has a similar vibe and it shares the same artist.
>>724768289I played FFI - VI a while back (original versions, not the pixel remasters), and V was by far the game I enjoyed the most.IV really disappointed me with how restrictive it was (no class choices, no choice on party composition, and also the combat system kind of blew), then V was just a complete 180 into near limitless freedom.VI was a beautiful game but I didn't really find it all that fun. I burned out after VI so I can't comment on VII and beyond, but I imagine they only got more linear?
>>724774953thats because you are devoid of soul.
>>724774995didn't it have some gameplay issues like not being able to target shit or something
>>724768289Based
>>7247750618 is the best game by far.
>>724775069There are some ridiculous parts of the story that I might enjoy, but I wouldn't call good or kino.But this is extra complicated by Team Ninja's absolute inability to communicate any story well, in their entire history of dame development. Their schizo storytelling hides SoP's issues well since Jack is a schizo, but it is simply not fun to learn a story (the actual background, not just "Astos was a good boy") largely through text messages scattered around a stage.
>>7247750617 - 10 are great games. VI is pretty dull and has the worst progression system other than 4.
>>724775061Any chance that you were burned out because you played in order and got to VI last?VI really shines in WoR. WoB has good story but boy does that shit drag at times.
>>724768289That's not Dissidia012
>>724775061Same and I genuinely enjoyed II more than some of the others. It was a trainwreck but at least it wasn't boring and bland.
>>724768289im partial to 4
>>724775170>the worst progression system other than 4.How does 1 have a better progression system than 44 is just boring leveling up to get abilities (except Rydia) for mages, and story-based changes. Compared to>buy spells in shops>a single job upgrade, which makes personality changes some jobs and also fucks over others>at least you can choose classesstart-of-game class choice is not progression
>>724775195Not him but WoR is too little too late, even though it is a huge improvement. The fact that VI's fanbase actually dislikes WoR for the most part tells me all I need to know. FFVI was intended for linear moviegame fans and I'm not one of them.
>>724775195I don't think it was VI's fault I burned out on the series, I think it was just that I had been playing nothing but Final Fantasy for several months at that point, after VI I felt as if I finally had enough of turn-based combat for a long whileI'll surely go back to finish the games eventually (besides XI I guess)>>724775242I liked FFII a lot too, it felt insanely ambitious for a NES game in the 80s. The stat levelling system was a bit of a mess in practice, but I appreciated them trying something unique
>>724775391>Not him but WoR is too little too lateEntirely fair. I guess it's also entirely possible that FF6 fans have two camps that like the different parts.For example, I'm in the camp that thinks Celes is a bad character (though WoR is great).
>>724775362IV doesn't have any progression other than leveling up. FF1 has class choice and a class upgrade. OG 4 is really dull. The 3D remake is great, though. It effectively adds the ability system from 5.
>>724775070It has an auto targeting system where certain abilities can only target front row and others can only target back row and if you're using a single target ability you always attack the leftmost enemy if it's a front row attack and the rightmost enemy if it's a back row attack. Fights are designed with it mind so it's not an issue, ir rather when it is an issue it's an issue on purpose and the devs are being assholes. It's a good system with consistent rules.
>>724775540start-of-game class choice is not progressionClass upgrade I'll give you, but Rydia and Cecil also get story-based class upgrades.Leveling to learn spells is better than buying them from a shop, and Rydia gets abilities from fighting summons too.
>>724775543that sounds like a retarded (consistent) thing that the devs intelligently built around, but also is a retarded thing that should just not have been there in the first place
6>4>After Years>5Every other one doesn't matter
V wins by virtue of having the greatest sense of being a fun adventure. The cast feels most like each one embodies the spirit of adventure and radiant heroism. I would even argue V most carries the atmosphere of hope. VI and III arguably follow closely as well. IV had great characters in a more dramatic sense. II felt of a wonderful desperation as the world continuously fell to destruction as the story went on and I was about as straightforward as it gets, time travel shenanigans excluded
>>724775150>Their schizo storytelling hides SoP's issues well since Jack is a schizo, but it is simply not fun to learn a story (the actual background, not just "Astos was a good boy") largely through text messages scattered around a stage.wrong.Everything else was handled extremely well with some of the best storytelling the series ever had. They managed to keep the player in the dark about the obvious outcome of jack garland ending up as chaos and ended up merging the very basic FF1 time loop story with batshit insane developments.the basic setup from the retarded first reveal paying off by gradually revealing that Jack is actually the most ballsy and cunning FF protag is great. Even the stupidity of it was turned around on the player.The only arguably moronic part is how none of the fantasy world people even noticed that jack and his entourage walk around like shibuya fashion victims. It wouldve been less jarring if they had costumes somewhat resembling FF1 jobs.The game managed to include a reverse Berserk apocalypse leading up to the main storys finally I genuinely think you have to completely lack the ability to feel joy when you go out of this game and say that it doesnt have a good story.
>>7247756594HoL has a lot of weird choices like an old school character tied inventory system and having AP you have to charge up instead of MP. Yeah its a little retarded but it adds more strategy instead of taking it away so I've always been fine with it.
>>724768337argentinian autistic incel
>>724775195FF6 is simply not a good game if you prefer combat gameplay and character building.In the WoB every character is super basic and half of them are just gimmicky shit.Then later on you get your epic crystals which just homogenize everybody at best and at worst turn into min-max hell if you care about the level up boni of them.Limited equipment helps a little bit to force characters into more defined roles but its not amazing.Also equipping, deequipping and reequipping chars is very annoying and the game asks you to change parties often (not a bad thing).They put a lot of effort into making unique scenarios and putting in minigames that would later on define the PS1/2 era of FF games but the meat of it is just not that great.
>>724776186Brave New World turns it into a good game.
>>724775878>They managed to keep the player in the dark about the obvious outcome of jack garland ending up as chaos no they didn't everyone called that shit from the first moment, even from the trailers>nded up merging the very basic FF1 time loop story with batshit insane developments.>batshit insane developmentsyea those were NOT good. Lufenians as multidimensional fuckos? Yea fuck you.>Jack is actually the most ballsy and cunning FF protagBallsy yes, because he gives 0 shits (this is not a good thing for a character, because that means 0 depth). Cunning no. The execution of the final plan is absolutely retarded and entirely forced by the story. The characters all oscillate between absolute drama queens and "I'm too cool/self-aware for this shit" chudsYou're confusing BIG THINGS HAPPEN with good plot. This is even worse than fans that consider BIG SET PIECES HAPPEN good plot, because at least the set pieces are usually at least decent. SoP's plot is already slightly retarded on paper and driven to absolutely dirt by TN's inability to tell a story.
>>724776186>FF6 is simply not a good game if you prefer combat gameplay and character building.I think it's middling on both, yes. I do not like the magicite system, even though it has some nice bits.The first half of WoB I can forgive because it's just introductory stuff, letting the player sample different characters before shit gets real.The second half of WoB drags and has no defense.I think the game shines best in terms of exploration, in WoR. Walking into some corner and seeing what's happened there or looking for clues on which direction to explore next is peak, better even than Merged World. (Merged World has other things going for it, like being more streamlined and you just fucking around with your arsenal to see how broken you can get it.)
>this is not a good thing for a character, because that means 0 depthlol
Whats the best version of 4?
>>7247771073D remake for strategic bosses and better progression systems, PSP for the best visuals, QoL and most content.
>improve the Job system from V>have only 2/3 of the Jobs from V>Each of your parties has five Jobs exclusive from the other party>Each time you unlock a new Job you don't get to use it for the next 2-3 hoursWhy you do this to me S-E.
>>724777161Damn, ds version sounds good but its ugly af.I'm not really a graphics fag but the psp version looks so nice
The best job system to date is in Dragons Dogma
>>724777293The main turn-off for me with the 3d remake is the game is locked to 20fps on overworld stuff, and 15fps in combat, even on the other ports of the game.
>>724777395But but but 4k!

I think VI is a little bit better than V.
>>724780510???I played it in English before FF8 came out.
>>724779886バッツ
>>724771273Cecil is my favorite FF main character. Starting the game as the villain and going through a redemption arc was pretty cool.
>>724775121I miss playing Dissidia with my lil bro, he's in college now and we just dont get along that well anymore since he entered High School (mainly due to my edginess back then), I wish I can reconcile with my bro and play this shit again :(
>>724780884>4 Heroes of LightI keep forgetting that entry exists. There was FF Explorers also which was kind of like a Monhon clone.
>>724773972This is cope for the japs being either too lazy to too stupid to write games that aren't retarded. For one thing, it wouldn't be a game over if they were just "too tired to fight." For another the revive item isn't fucking caffeine, it's a feather from a bird known for rising from ASHES (IE dead). Furthermore, literal DEATH is a status effect, spell, and/or materia all throughout the series. Beyond that, the stuff that """knocks out""" characters in battle is far more fatal (like machine gun fire) than the stuff that kills them in cutscenes (one widdle stab wound). FF7 is dogshit and Aerith's death is phenomenally retarded, come to terms with it.>>724774789>it's a feather from a bird known for rising from ASHES (IE dead)
I just started FF3 because I can't remember ever finishing it. It feels like a DQ game story.
>>724774813Is DQ8 when they dropped the menucringe turnslop combat for something real time and therefore better?
>>724781715No, but they made the turn based menu combat into at least something more strategic than "warrior attacks thief steals mage blasts healer heals".
>>724781715Mainline DQ has always been turn-based. XI gave you the option of realtime pussyfooting around in combat, but it had zero impact on the gameplay or how enemies targeted you, and it was still menus.
>>724775849I agree. I'm not sure what it is about the cast. They don't have a lot of dialogue or really complex characters but they're so charming and uplifting, everyone has each others backs. I especially like the merged world and the events there. The reality the party new in a sense was a lie, their entire civilization has been merged with another, and now from the characters perspective large swathes of that new world has been completely fucking erased from existence, bartz hometown, in universe and divorced from the game version of the towns we see, the impression is that millions of people are just gone. Yet it doesn't bother them that much, they don't mope a lot or let it get to them, they continue going balls deep into uncertain fates, unwavering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K_KvugBQpoI think the merged world theme encapsulates what the party must be thinking and feeling. It's as hopeful as it is unsure.
>>724781804>>724781836xe was just making an epic snarky "turn base bad" comment
>>724777363It's really good but there should be more cross vocation skills. Luckily you can do that with mods, leveling assassin to get specific moves for fighter, then using fighter and assassin abilities with mystic knight is kino
>>724777229blame matrix softwaret. S-E fans
>>724774042>gameplay autismThe gameplay in the first 6 games is literally the exact same, not including spinoffs like Mystic Quest.
>>724781569You have autism.
>>724782171Maybe it's like that to you if you're mentally retarded and have to reduce everything to make sense of it.
I will always love the OST of FFV.>lennas theme>the north mountain theme>big bridge theme>1st and 3rd (merged) world themes
>>724782215>ATB makes you do the same things but fasterWhat is the other innovation here that isn't jobs?
>>724782473The progression system radically change how combat plays out. FF5 lets you mix and match any job for your whole party. The other games can't compete.
>>7247823842nd map theme is my favourite
>>724782473ATB is, by every metric, slower than turn based.
>>724782553No. In pre-FFX turn-based FF, both you and the enemy get exactly one turn each. With ATB, your speed or weight stat determines who gets their turn first, and you can get several turns before the enemy gets one, bypassing the wait.
>>724782539FF3 has my favorite map theme, but maybe that's just my love for Shadowbringers leaking throughLeaving the tutorial cave and hearing this (I played FF3 way after XIV) gave me a big smile, I had no idea that entire expansion was basically a FF3 prequel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79iWS0reUGA
>>724782534>progression system radically change how combat plays outWhat? This isn't true outside of any of the early games unless it's FFT or something. Is this some speedrunner/minmax gamefaqs shit that was never part of beating the game?
this was literally me when I first emulated FFV back in the day on snes9x and heard lennas theme at the start of the game. that fucking bass line, I literally stayed in the first meteor screen for a good few minutes listening to it
>warus guard when an adventurer comes by and wants to go in the basement.
>>724782646We are using differing definitions of "faster". You taking more turns is an irrelevant notion by my paradigm.
>the burning castle section>see all those boxes of loot>music is giving me a panic attack but my autism wants to check every box
>>724783005Waiting for enemy animations to play out each turn is slower than getting more of your animations in and ending the fight sooner.
>>724782941What are you even talking about? The games only play similarly on a surface level. Maybe you need to work on your analytical skills.
>>724783264That is your definition, yes. I was meaning that ultimately the progression of the game is unmodified because turns now have a waiting period between them.
Is the zoomer defending ATB really pretending you will get more than 4 hits on a boss, rather than the boss simply moving twice in a row?
IX will always be the GOAT. Anyone got any idea if that anime spinoff is completely dead in the water at this point>>724768337Its the only one of the first 9 i dont like lol
>>724783307>surface level>minmax gamefaqs shit that was never part of beating the game
>super boss is just walking around in a cave>another in a suspiciously lone chest

>>724783513I don’t believe any further info came out regarding Cyber Group striking a successful deal with anyone to sell their works to. Now that the main dish of the IX revival project (the remake) is in question it’s become even less likely we’ll see that animated series release.
>>72476838315 is so fucking boring, they forgot to make people care about the story
>>724783684>leveling jobsthis is at most grinding a secondary job to the spell you want the combat is still the same, why are you acting like it's so nuanced to other atb games?

>>724768289The job system system is overrated af. And so is FF V by extent.>bro bro its so underrated>it would be sooo popular bro if it released in west bro>muh job system>bro did I mention muh job system bro>play the game>1/3 of the roster is useless >the other 3rd is some gimmicky garbage that forces you to grind so much you would finish the game beforehand, and relies on hidden/missable spells/abilities in order to be useful>...while the rest of the classes have at least one skill each that completely trivializes the game and all of the bossesSo how did the devs balance it?>"Let's just make the base game so easy that you can beat it on vanilla without any skills at all"No wonder normalfags never crtiticize it. Because it's probably the easiest one out of the first 10 FFs.What's even the point of having 22 classes if you don't need any of them to beat the game?Not to mention that you can't be too creative with it either, because the ABP requirements are so high that at best you can maybe finish one class per character before the game ends. Unless ofc you grind your ass off, non-stop farming ABP. But then again, what is the point of extra grind when the game is already so easy?It feels like there is a whole chapter of the game missing, in which you could finally go all out, instead of nerfing yourself on how-not-to one-shot every boss by accident.Also despite having le 22 classes the white mage is still the most broken, just like in every other FF game. While berserk is worse then not picking any class at all. The balance is all over the place.So much for "muh perfect job system".I genuinely believe that ppl are so hung up on muh job system when talking about FF V is because there is really nothing else worth mentioning about the game.The plot is basically generic harem isekai, where plain neet MC randomly becomes the chosen one and gets harem of 3 bitches for free to defeat le evil lord. THE END. (At least that explains why nips like it lol)

>>724787548I played it with 4x abp to get the job perks faster. The goal is to create various combinations, for example samurai + knight so you can 2-hand excalibur while still being able to dodge.Or white mage + dragoon so she can be in the back row and still deal decent damage.
>>724789346Lots of gimmick fights, which honestly the series needed more of to make you do more than just bruteforce it with leveling up.Don't think anything else from Square of that era had mechanics for bosses that wasn't Chrono Trigger.
Just started looking into romhacks/mods and it seems there are a ton for FF. What are some of the noteworthy ones?
>>724786654Which girl in 8 isn't used goods?
>>724768289>final fantasy>final>there are 16 of them
>>724790684none, 8 has among the worst girls
>>724790829Haha yeah, it's not like anyone's made that joke in the last 37 years!
>>724768289It's just a mix of 3 and 4 with a better story.
>>72479082916 mainline titles and like twice as many spin-offs.
>>724790684Squall
>>724788550Been meaning to play the og version for a while
>>724788427Duodecim is the best.
>>724769018so true king
I actually hate the multiple protags in ff6, if it was focused on terra or locke it would improve the game by a lot
Any more job system autism games that aren't from squeenix? (I already played theirs)
>1/3 of the roster is useless>the other 3rd is some gimmicky garbage that forces you to grind so much you would finish the game beforehand, and relies on hidden/missablePretty sure there the only missables are a few hidden items and chests. Also, I can't think of a single class that didn't have some ability endgame that felt really strong except maybe geomancer. Even classes that on their own don't shit out damage like beastmaster, red mage and ranger could be used to prop up other classes. FFV probably has one of the most cohesive class systems I've seen in jrpgs and when other games like Bravely Default try to ape the system, they overlook the cohesiveness that made ffv great. Literally every class makes another class better in some way.
>>724768289True

>>724794185Damn, they just straight up copied FF2 with that battle screenLooks neat.
>>724787548Holy mother of bait
>>724793884unironically Leaf Geometry games but i only ever played the first 2 ones
true
>>724790029if you want to play fan games ff renaissance is really good
>>724794604It's definitely worth playing as it does it's own thing with its class design and no class just feels worthless. I remember the gear being intdresting too in that weapons and armor are more than "number goes up". I haven't played it recently enough to really give an articulated rundown on what males it good, but can say with complete confidence that the entire game feels like a lot of thought went into the rpg aspects of the game and that whoevet made it loves FF (compared to all the indies that slap "just like those old-school 90s rpgs" onto generic and shallow schlok.
>>724796571Forgive the typos, god damn.
>>724795989>not BALLZ TO THE WALL
>the least innovative Final Fantasy
>>724796571I'll definitely keep an eye on it, put it in my Steam wishlist as a reminder. I liked FF2 a lot for some reason, so it being an aesthetic carbon copy does a lot for me. But if it's also a well made, good game that's not JUST relying on that NES look, then that's great
>>724768289It, 9, and SoP are my favorites. Having gone through most of the mainline stuff now though, the only games that didn't wow me too hard was 2 and 8.
>>724774953It's not ironic, and that's the best part about it, it's completely sincere with its plot. The only real issue is any character who isn't Jack or Astos doesn't get much time to develop, and a lot of the lore is squeezed into data spheres that are hidden throughout levels. But it also kind of makes sense since Jack is brainwashed to follow his orders to a T so he doesn't bother with side content.
>>724768289Oh wow, an OP I agree with.
>>724780103is this real
>>724768756I hate how the PR versions of 1-6 all look the same, same animations, spells, random NPCsIt feels like you're playing the same game 6 times in a row
