7=10=9 > 8The all equally good, except 8. 8 is the weird, shitty one.What retard thought getting rid of equipment and treasure chests was a fucking good idea in a RPG game about exploration?
>>731040735Nah 9 is also clearly weaker entry
Final Fantasy ended at 6
I never played the ps1 games or 11.
>>73104073510 and 7 had way better settings that ended up improving the games. 8's setting was good but brought down by the rest of the game. 9 was generic in a good way.
>>731042257Doing fucking tests to get money was genuinely soulless. Feeling constantly watched and judged by the game is the opposite of fun.
>>731042564Blitz Ball sucks ass
>>731040735>RPG game about explorationnone of those games you mentioned have good exploration. If anything VIII is the only one that comes close by giving you optional shit to do in disc 2 like the Odin temple
>>731040735i dont know why people view 9 so high. is it just the furries? its kind of bland and its an empty world after the first disc. theres literally 1 dwarf village and a library and those are the only settlements outside the starting continent that are populated.
>>7310407357=9>8=10. 7&9 still has the dna of the first 6 games with 9 being the swan song. 8 is the start of Kitase's muh gwafiks mindset. it was only good when Sakaguchi was tardwrangling him, toriyama, & nojima(like 8 &10). when he left, they all shat the bed(wada's fault mostly).
>>731040735>What retard thought getting rid of equipment and treasure chests was a fucking good idea in a RPG game about exploration?To add to this weird fucking blunder, they also added optional areas WHILE giving enemies the ability to scale to your level IN ADDITION TO them outpacing your strength at the same levels. They also dock your check if you take too long to explore. This means that the game not only disincentivizes exploration, it actively punishes you for it. But if they actively punish you for it, then why the FUCK did they put optional content in the game???It is pants-on-head retarded design and I have NO idea how this wave of FF8 apologists even came to be a thing. I guess some girls got really wet seeing Squall being the best looking guy here and they just kind of ignored the rest of the game's flaws as they quite literally romanticize it in their nostalgia.Ben Starr said they would never make another game like FF8 again and thank fucking god they won't.
>>731043837The characters were charming, at least I thought so. I loved Steiner and Beatrix in particular.My biggest problem with the game though was the insanely long animation transitions for battle in addition to the ludicrously slow ATB. IX was the game that made me hate that combat system.
>>731042062>or 11Try XIM, Its a browser based roguelite using FFXI as a basis, if you want to get a taste for FFXI's basic gameplay/combat without having to subscribe to anything or play an MMO that's a way to do it.https://xim.pages.dev/?mode=game
>>731040735are 1~6 worth playing at all these days?the indie pixelshit graphics put me off.
>>731044054I don't think the issue with 8 is the fault of Kitase. I think it's Nojima. Look at FFVII Compilation which is mostly all written by him, or the weird story changes in Remake, which is also written by him. Also, many parts of 7 have the same strangeness to it that 8 has. I think sometimes Nojima's sense of fancy gets the better of him, and he writes abject drivel instead.
>>731048015Play the originals of at least 4-6. With 1-3, you can try the original, or some people like the PSP versions of 1/2 and 4. I went with the PSX Origins version of 1/2, and the pixel remaster for 3. Choose whatever version looks appealing to you.
>>731047481Anon, I've been playing this shit for like an hour uninterruptedI never even touched FF11 but this is insanely fun
>>731047481>>731050239How do I beat the bee?
>>7310407359 doesnt deserve to be up there. 7, 8, 10 are all creative, ambitious works. 9 is generic and unimpressive by comparison. There's a reason why 7, 8, and 10 are often cited as being creative influences for game developers way more often than 9. Doesnt mean it's a bad game, it's just not on the same level as the others. THAT is the redpill.
>>7310488941 NES2 PSP3 Pixel remaster4 PSP5 Pixel remaster6 Pixel remaster
>>731050889 Don’t let the bee hit you more than once in a row or you're toast. You need some poison resistance (gear or food buff if you found any), but timing is king. Bait the attack, move diagonal, then close in. It’s weak to thunder and wind so pick up that Scroll of Gust if it spawned. Also, sprint out if you get cornered-no shame in repositioning, this isn’t FFXI where you gotta camp NM timers. Keep stacking TP to burst when it opens.

>5 > 9stopped reading
7 is the best, followed by 5, 8 and 10 because of the player agency, customization and replayability.4, 6 and 9 are good but not on the same level as the top 4 because they are more railroaded with less customization and player agency and replayability. It's ok to like 4, 6 and 9. I like them too. They just aren't as good as 5, 7, 8 and 10.
>>73104073510 sucks.
>>73105799810 had the best combat, the Lord of the Rings game which stole its combat is good too.

>>731059568the fishing is great, the quests and “eikon” fights are better, everything else is equally bad. 16 has no redeeming qualities apart from having one of the best versions of Cid
>>731040735>10>trying to smuggle a nu-FF into it like nobody would find out
>>731059510Yeah. I like it more than 4, and 3, 15, and especially 13 are all bad games
>>731055438>FFXII fan has the shittiest taste possible
5 = 6 = 7 > the restThe holy trilogy.
the only reason people shit on 8 is because the story is kinda whack but gameplay wise it has much more freedom than 7,9 and 10
>>731040735I will never understand why 9 is so loved desu. Gameplay is decent albeit a somewhat downgrade from 7 and 8, the cast are mostly forgettable outside of Zidane and Garnet and the story is nowhere near as engaging as 4,6,7 and 10, even 5 is more engaging despite being simpler.
>>731055438You're actually a rarity in the sense, that IX and XII lovers tend to have overlap, though you, who think XII is the very best, are pretty unpredictable bunch.
>>731067245As a XII fan I don't get why most people love IX so much, I mean I guess its the closest to XII in terms of aesthetics but the gameplay is very different and IX is so simplistic by comparison. I never really got what people see in the basic bitch ATB games. Yeah ATB was a major step up over the turn based games but from VI to IX the gameplay barely evolved at all.
>>731068273Oh okay, that makes sense, you make a compelling argument in a language I understand.

>>731042564They wanted the high-school persona feel for ff8

>>731048015FF3 on the DS is in my top 3. 4 was ok.. the rest can suck an egg
I like 4, 6 and 97 is meh even if the setting is very coolthree characters in battle is not enough, four is already much better, five is idealmaterias make every character feel too samey in battlethe nonstop minigames are actual dogshit and anyone who enjoys them to any extent is subhuman

Almost 27 years since release and people are still getting filtered by VIII
>>731076559>>IVTAY>Best breast expansion.Explain. Visually.
>>731077042It's a bit of an embellishment in the sense, that Rydia is even bigger in After Years than Adult Rydia in IV, so now we've seen her broad scope development continuum all the way from a child.Unfortunately we don't have a genuine breast expansion character yet, so this is the closest we've gotten.
>>731077716>look up Rydia After Years official art>she looks exactly the sameAt least post a better glow-up
>>731076559>Best breast expansion: IVTAYQrd? It's not Rydia is it?
>>731079095Disregard, I didn't refresh the page.
>>731078716No, she doesn't. Look at the sprites.
Surprised this thread is still up.
