What's the most overrated Final Fantasy game and why is it X?
>>
>>738119009
Excuse me, but Final Fantasy V is actually the most overrated game in the series.
>>
5 is really overrated. yeah the job system is cool, but ultimately the game feels like a generic JRPG with a really bad story and world.
>>
>>738119009
8, unironically.
>>
7, 10 is a close second though
>>
>>738119009
Its 6, VI
>>
>>738119009
4 is the most overrated.
>>
That is not V, VIII, XII, XIV
>>
Like VII, X was their first FF for a lot of people so of course it’s overrated
The real overrated one for no reason is IV
It’s just VI with less characters and less interesting jobs
>>
>>738119009
It's IX that slow ass piece of shit

>It’s just VI with less characters and less interesting jobs
People hate VI exactly because its doing too much + it looks ugly with al the sprite/environment complexity

Its a game trying too hard and failing.
Simple IV and V mog tryhard VI to oblivion.
>>
XIII probably most overrated. People don't tend to mention the myriad flaws that game has.

Or maybe IX, because people only talk about the nice ambience and artwork and how poorly some of it was stitched together and how it doesn't have actual cohesion.


You might also so VI, but you'd be judging it by more modern standards. It was pretty cutting edge storytelling when it came out despite the nonsense.

No the most overrated one is 7 because of nostalgianiggers, and it's not necessarily bad but is just okay-ish. There should be like a list of questionable games that are highly rated just because some faggot grew up with it. Mario 64 and ocarina of shit come to mind.
>>
>>738119009
7 is overrated. We were an N64 household so I never played it the first time around, and when I finally emulated it, it was a big disappointment unlike other RPG 'classics' that get praised (e.g. Earthbound, FFT, Grandia, Chrono Trigger)

FF6 might honestly be one of the most overrated JRPGs. Or even one of the most overrated games, period.

>>738121601
It's the best game in the series, and arguably one of the best JRPGs ever made. As a lifelong JRPG fan who's been playing them for 35+ years, and who generally dislikes/is neutral to the FF series, it gets my vote for greatest JRPG.

>>738119009
its FFXII. Even though its rightfully hated by all people with taste, the fact even a single person likes XII makes it the most overrated FF by default. "But XIII is such dogshit" I hear you say. that it was, but at least it looked pretty and had a decent battle system. What good things can you say about XII? Hot brown bunny girl? That is literally the only thing. Shit story, shit characters, shit combat, shit setting, shit level design, shit content, shit music, i mean its downright impressive how absolutely nothing about the game is appealing.

from what Ive seen and heard, XV and XVI might be even worse, but there's no chance i will ever play those games or anything else made after 2002 made by this fucking joke of a dev ever again

XII was a step in the right direction from X's bullshit pure turnbased system, but it just wasn't interesting. The fact that the original PS2 release had the terrible dub didn't help.
>>
>>738119009
I'd agree with x because out of all the bad final fantasy games it certainly seems to get the most excuses for why it's not so bad. 13 is still miles worst to me tho but most people agree it's trash only a handful of people who were late to the party actually like 13

Any of the other games in the series, the devs at least put them down and leave them the fuck alone. You can go in, have a nice time at your own pace, and enjoy a light story. In 14 you have a fucking job. It's a single player MMORPG that you have to play like a fucking 9-5.

I'd recommend FFIX to you. Get the Steam version and download the Moguri mod you can download directly off Steam workshop. Takes a very small amount of time to set up but it's absolutely worth it.
You'll get background like pic related.
Characters are top tier in the game and so is the aesthetic and atmosphere.
If you do play it, then just take your time you only ever play these games for the first time once.
Don't be shy to grind and also look at a walk-through if you're struggling but only do that if you've exhausted your own options.

I've played both and yes I would say it's better than 8, but that doesn't mean 8 is a bad FF game they're just different and trying to do different things.
8 is still in the 'modern' era but it does do things that I like having your party members follow you around for example, it's a small thing but it's still cool to me. Music is good in both.

But 9 is trying for a more 'fantasy' atmosphere, back to the routes of FF being inspired by DND and medieval fantays/ folklore with it's own ideas thrown in.

VII, as in it's not a bad game, but it didn't deserve all its spinoffs, movie, and remake series. The actual game was fine enough as it was.
>>
>>738132956
It needed the remake. All bad games need a do over.

People who get mad at or try to minimize the importance of open ended exploration are subhuman and there's no point in arguing with them. They're spiritually brown and lack the divine human spark that makes people want to explore.

What are you talking about? Maybe 7 has decent side content compared to X but most of the previous games absolutely do not. between Celestial weapons, optional summons, blitz ball, monster capture, arena monsters, and sphere grinding there was the most to do in X

Im sorry anon but VII is by definition the most overrated of all FF games. Its not bad, but its really not that good. Cloud as a character basically doesn't exist until he starts having a mental breakdown and because of that the story suffers a LOT. The remakes try to remedy this by actually giving him a personality but then of course the remakes have their own problems with way too much padding.

the setting being inspired by south japanese fishing villages and south east asia islands also makes it extremely unique in gaming.
certainly the most special one in the series.

FF7 was wildly influential, and since its influence has been essentially everywhere since, going back to it makes it seem "overrated."

FF10 was a gigantic piece of shit and a downgrade in every aspect from previous entries, with only "fully voice acted" being a selling point, that resulted in one of the shittiest dubs ever put to screen, as every scene was time for the japanese dialogue and not changed to suit the english, so you have constant cases where the voice actors are either dragging their lines to fit the time allotted or rushing (withyunabymyside) to cram entire sentences into what was originally timed for two syllables. but the full voice acting meant retards didn't have to read, so they liked it.

>>738136898
If you're just retarded cause I could easily gleam that Cloud is a tryhard loser trying to impress people and hide his insecurities from playing the original.

the way religion is woven into the setting when it comes to architecture, culture and conflicts is also pretty great.it is both pragmatic and spiritual at the same time in a similar way real life religions developed.
it is not stuff you see much in games.

The concept of influence is totally retarded. God makes all the video games, and was literally omnipotent from day 1. Every game he’s made came out exactly as he wanted it. But, was made using humans, which is why his name isn’t on it. Although he is the human, and even names himself retarded names on purpose, just for the credits at the end. All his names are totally fucking retarded. God has been plapping all the virgins for a very long time plus also impregnating all the women. Real people aren’t allowed to do these two things, only god gets to, enforced using violence weirdly. But yeah so listen to this. God also loves to make video games, but blew his load too early on in this reality. Plus also gaming is getting way too expensive to keep making them, because he has to actually do all the work and that costs money. So that’s why gaming quality is going down, he already did everything good, plus also to compete with his old work he needs to be spending like 100 times more money on 3D modelling. Like with careful observation of game mechanics in older games, you’ll easily notice there wasn’t any evolution in the gaming industry. Everything was known about right from the beginning. The moba genre didn’t start at wc3 and then spiral out of control, the MOBA genre is ancient like chess and was already known about for billions of years.

X-2 is literally a better game. Better writing, deeper turn based combat, better art direction, it’s just better everything except… except for one thing, which makes it almost unplayable. This one small change totally ruined X2. I will be revealing what the problem with X2 was in my next post. It’s going to be a doozy of a post.

It was pretty good back in its day especially as one of the few JRPGS which actually got an official English translation but today there's not much to see there. Same goes for a lot of decades old games hyped up today.

There's this combo system but if you do anything other than a basic attack it locks out other actions so it's only relevant at the very beginning.

>>738143317
It’s the best turn based combat system ever produced retard. It’s got all the meat and potatoes without any gross shit on your plate like olives or weird sauce packets that you end up using but not even enjoying that much. The combo system yeah alright just don’t use that, and it’s no problem. The job system also, it’s not even about the job system. Which is decent, that’s a decent addition because it expands on the concept of attacking/defending being a commitment which lasts at least a full turn. Everything about x2 is pretty much perfect, except for one small problem.

>absolutely no chance whatsoever of succeeding without grinding in the monster arena

>literally have to no choice but to grind by killing Earth Eaters and Greater Spheres which have the most frustrating mechanics in the entire game and only drop the correct items when RNG is in the mood

They drop their correct items every time time except when you "luckily" get the rarer dark matter drop.

disagree, seeing the same armor style, the same type of story, the same tropes, the same style of medieval/west/fantasy town etc... get boring at some point, at least FF8 and the "present time" style and FF10 "asian" style does make thing feel fresh AND they are done properly with a good production quality and a lot of respect for the world aesthetic (thank you Naora-san)

Totally agree, but I think that even this could somewhat work if the character design was good enough to compensate. I also dislike the bitchiness of Ashe, but at least, she is good looking and have a nice voice, so it's tolerable. FF13 on the other hand have just annoying characters that also look visually annoying too, I would prefer Zell from FF8 or Volt from The Bouncer over Snow any time of the day.

I unironically think XIII has better postgame than X. X doesn't respect the player's time. XIII at least does a little bit more than X.

That said the actual most overrated FF is 7.
