What's the most overrated Final Fantasy game and why is it X?
>>738119009Excuse 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.
>>7381190098, unironically.
7, 10 is a close second though
>>738119009Its 6, VI
>>7381190094 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 overratedThe real overrated one for no reason is IVIt’s just VI with less characters and less interesting jobs
>>738119009It's IX that slow ass piece of shit
>>738119009They are all overrated. JRPGs suck just like anime does.
IX by a long shot
>>738119532No one cares about IX,its an overrated thread not mid or bad ff thread.
>>738119468Who the fuck is overrating FF12?
>>738119596Anyone who claims to like it.
>>738119523>It’s just VI with less characters and less interesting jobsPeople hate VI exactly because its doing too much + it looks ugly with al the sprite/environment complexityIts 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.
>>738119553What’s a good vidya game to you anon
>>738119009FF was never good, its current state now that there's competition is proof
>>738119571
>>738119638if anything XIII is overhatedretards can’t shut up about how it’s top 2 worst FF next to II
>>738119630Retard take
>>738119009No 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.
>>7381190097 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)
>>738119009XIII is such a good and fun game when you don't have a faggot yelling in your ear how it sucks non stop
>>738119635>it looks ugly with al the sprite/environment complexityReally? If anything FF4 looks uglier to me with that early SNES era graphics.
>>738119674A good western RPG (not anything by Bethesda)
>>738120089Yeah but give us an example
>>738119241/thread 6 is by FAR the most overrated game in the series.
>>738119009I like it but it has to be VI
>>738119009Bad art direction. if there's something that makes 13 better than 10 (even though both are extremely linear) its the art directionFfx literally have no identity when it comes to wolrdbuilding and aesthetic
>>738120283Fallout 1, 2 & NV (admittedly a half-Bethesda game but at least it's not a Bethesda game where it counts most)Planescape: Torment
>>738120491>no identity when it comes to worldbuilding and aestheticDid you play the fucking game? The theme of 'primitive tech society dominated by a manipulative theocracy' is pretty fucking integral to the whole thing.
>>738120619
>>738119731No no it's much worse than II. If anything it's not hated enough anymore
>>738119241>>738120395>>738120423This and it's not even close. VI fanboys are the most obnoxious cunts in the entire FF fandom.
>>738119009I have never played a FF game but whenever I see this image I want to try this one. The water and the vibe it in general are great
Al Bhed status?
>>738119241FF6 might honestly be one of the most overrated JRPGs. Or even one of the most overrated games, period.
>>738121601It'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.
>>738119009IX
>>738119009xiii
>>738119009FFX was proto FFXIII
>overrated5, 9>underrated 1, 8>properly rated2, 3, 5>not as great as people hype it up to be but still good by its own merits6, 10>not as great as people hype it up to be and not that good even by its own merits4>genuinely great and only pseudointellectual contrarians say otherwise to make themselves feel smart7>not final fantasy games and hot trash regardless11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
>>738119009Not ff but ct is highly rated but i really didn't like it much.
>>73811963813 and 13-2, 13-3 we're my favorite and I've played every final Fantasy game including FF11 the first MMORPG one
>>738122035>8>underrated>7>genuinely great>11>hot trashHow is it possible to have this many opinions and be wrong about all of them? Just by sheer luck, you'd expect to have a better batting average than that.
>>738122187I'll play XI when they release an offline version of it.
>>738121803It’s a fucking hallway
>>738119009It's XII actually.
>>738122262So you haven’t played it but you’re still rating it?
>>738121601If you want the best vibe, play IX.
>>738122367Final Fantasy is not online, the online games are not Final Fantasy.
>>738122367It's trash by default due to being an mmo.
>>738122367>So you haven’t played it but you’re still rating it?Welcome to /v/
>>738119532The only people that like 9 are Powerpoint files.
>>738122408I mean, they’re mainline final fantasy gamesThey have a number, they’re called final fantasyIt’s li’e if back in the day fans of the turn based games were like>hurr this ATB system sucks, if it’s not turn based it’s not final fantasy beczuse final fantasy is turn based!
>>738119009its 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
>>738122769just because square gave them numbered entries to sell more subs does not make them mainline or FF. Nintendo called yoshi's island "smw 2" for marketing reasons as well, yet no one on earth with a brain thinks it's actually a sequel to smw, its clearly its own thing entirely.
>>738122872Post your hands.
>>738122872VII should be first in D-tier.
>>738122940Again, judging if a game is a final fantasy game by what final fantasy is and not what it could be is stupid, the series keeps evolving with new gameplay systems all the time i don’t know why it being online would disqualify a game from being a final fantasy game
What a stupid thread
>>738122960
>>738123105Mhm. Browner than an Indian ghetto.
>>738123146>xhe got mad that I called xer out on ff9
>>738123174You put several far better games in 'D' tier. The only people that love FF8 this much are people that idealize themselves as Squall without realizing he's a cringe lord, which leaves browns and mexicans.
>>738123267FF8 was declared the greatest game every made by the Lord Jesus Christ. Only heathens disagree.
>>738123371>starts rambling about jesusOh it's a mexican
>>738119009VII get it's impressive for its time, but honestly it's kind of a slog to play through.
>>738119009You're objectively correct that it's X. X was the first bad FF game.
>>738123403Jesus was a white man that lived in Texas. The bible was written in American. I don't see where you get Mexicans from. They're not even Christians. They worship the pope or some shit.
>>738123638the fact that in america some people in bumfuck south dakota unironically think this is true is sending my sides to the moon
>>738123768It's Utah, primarily. They also have a prestigious college: https://www.byu.edu/
>>738119009It's X. Because it's X.
>>738122803I can tell you're a midwit because you mention Fran like she's some kind of goonerbait that is the only reason anyone ever played the game. Stop getting your opinions from idiotic youtubers and try thinking for yourself for once in your worthless life.
>>738122803XII 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.
>>738119009I'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
>>738124015>The fact that the original PS2 release had the terrible dub didn't help.FFXII had a good English dub though. One of the few I actually like listening to and don't turn off or install undub hack.
>>73812280312 is better than 10 which is a linear island resort simulator with even more painfully dull rock paper scissors combat
>some big guy with a gun yelling at me about the planet when the final fantasy realms have eldritch beings wandering around>teaming up with some fat guy in a red bandanna to destroy microsoft HQ>using final fantasy oil is bad>scooby doo sidekick>hol' up let me explain my PTSD story about the bleach villain and me fighting monsters its totally real happened no it didnt it did but it wasnt me it was aeriths chad first bf who died but uh yeah he looks like me but I'm really jenova clone not him>monk fighter is big booba girl healer dies who cares lmao some samurai locked in a box ninja sidekick somewhere but missed it cause didnt look up where to find herlmfao what is this shit. I can't. How did people not drop this shit after V?
>>738124167Which Final Fantasy games are not linear?
>>738124258this is all based though
>>738124097"Good" for a dub is a low bar. It's bad. It's much better on PC with the original voices, but it's still not a very good game.>>738124279Pre-10 at least had world maps to do stuff on. That was one of the biggest disappointments of 10.
FFX is in fact the best FF game no matter how hard secondaries screech.
>>738124279second half of FF6. thats it.FFX mogs most potentially all FF games when it comes to side content.
>>738124561>second worst hero>worst girl>pure turn based>faggy soccer-adjacent game for browns>released dubbed only after they showed they could do multilanguage with The Bouncer>no world map>literally who gives a shit story revolving around worst girl being the worst at everything
>>738124657lol
>>738124687>lawlImagine having that thought in your head. Go back to AOL, faggot.
>>738124623They call it side content because it’s literally on the side of the one road leading to the end of the game
>>738120619>>738120089>>738119553trying too hard
>>738124918yeah man unlike epic world map content where you have a cave between your A to B destination.remember all these crazy different paths we used to take from start to finish before FFX?fucking clown.
>>738125038I do remember the open worlds of VII VIII and IX very fondly yes
>>738125137actually delusional
>>738119009agreed, the sphere grid is shit and there's literal no exploration. Only saving grace of this game is that I want to bang Lulu
>>738125172Rikku is best girl.
>>7381192416 had the biggest asspull that completely ruined an otherwise decent plot
>>738125167I don’t think i amThe reveal at the end of midgar that there was a whole map to explore was really coolThe fact that they make you travel on foot from place to place and then give you an airship so you can observe the same world from the sky and go wherever you wantHidden locations between mountains or inside forests All of this is missing in X
>>738120619They hated him because he told the truth
>>738125393go back
>>738125306>The reveal at the end of midgar that there was a whole map to explore was really coollmao you dont have a "whole map to explore" after leaving midgar.you have midgar->calm->chocobo ranch->midgar zolom cave.
>>738125445NV is the best game ever because I realized my female character is the girl I was on the inside.
>>738120835ffx is all the edginess of that era in its purest form.le religion badle nihilismle everything is really just fake and gayle underwater FIFA enjoyed by third worlders
>>738125306>The reveal at the end of midgar that there was a whole map to explore was really coolReveal if you had never played a FF game before 7 maybe.

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.
>>738121896>>738119728
>>738125802There’s almost no daily/weekly stuff while you’re doing the story in XIV what are you even talking about?
>>738121601I'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.
tactics advance
>>738125904The amount of content and grind you need to do in order to progress the story is insurmountable without a significant time investment. Also>almost noYou spoony sneak.
>>738125513Slay, please never change anonette
>>738125983Damn, it's overrated. I thought it was underrated.Well, VII is the most overrated
>>738126029Yeah there’s the daily roulette and the weekly khloe once you finish heavenswardThat’s literally itAnd when the fuck do you even need to grind, if you’re doing your roulette you’ll be 60+ by the end of heavensward
>>738122872Why do predditors like IX?
>>738126118you're just proving his point
>>738126354No?Is optionally doing a single dungeon a day too much for you?
>>738126329Toddler romance.
>>738119009hahah nope that award goes to 7
>>738125976The set pieces look crazy nice. Not the poster you're replying to, but would you say it's better than VIII? How does it hold up compared to X?
>>738127342He likes it because the MC ogles a toddler's ass while she climbs a ladder.
>>738127342I'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. >>738127385The picture is for you.
>>738119009X is kino as fuck and i'm tired of hearing contrarians pretend it isn't one of the best FFs ever made just because they're too retarded to mentally compartmentalize and separate a truly kinematographic game from modern "cinematic" snoyslop
>>738119105So like FFI~X, gotcha
>>738119009X, and not VII? Bold choice.
>>7381275878 excluded, yes.
>>738119009Women. Same with 7 and 14.
>>738124561>secondariesWhat the fuck do you even think this means in the context of FF games? Do you even play the games in moon, because if not then you're a secondary who's just playing some localizer's fanfic.
>>738129214>WomenA long time ago a then friend's friend's then girlfriend saw a commercial for FF8 on TV which had the Squall Rinoa ballroom dance thing and instantly started nagging her boyfriend to buy that game for his PlayStation. Bitch got very disappointed when it turned out to be a game about hitting floating grinning exploding fireballs with swords and bullets and drawing magic spells LOL.
>>738119241Nth post best post
>>738119009All Final Fantasy games are EMO heaptrash, but at least they gave us coomable fictional women,some people take it so far to have fictional faction wars over them
>>738122294Yeah I'm playing it for the first time and I'm surprisingly disappointed at probably the mid-way point. The combat system seemed very interesting at first but now that I have decent gear and gambits every single fight is just an auto-pilot steamroll. Really boring.
>>738130510Not every final fantasy is 7R
>>738119009People really forget the days when the internet worshiped Kefka as the pinnacle of video game writing, huh.
>>738130665I count alone in this thread enough "waifus" from multiple other FF games but thank you for your concern
>>738119097>>738119105Holy shit tastePlay the Pixel Remaster right nowTry to gain some culture and IQ points
>>738121803>completely linear hallway simulator>only 2 characters actually have any personality or development>worst minigames in the series>dog shit progression system that just involves picking stat boosts or skills when you level up but with everyone on the same grid so no character is actually unique10 is not even close to being as good as 5, 6, 7 or 8
>>738130948>Holy shit taste>Play the Pixel Remasterlmao
>>738119009It was 6 or 7 for the 2008-2018 period but now its 10 because zoomers have started playing games recently.
>>738131071For all but 4 PR is the best version>b-but muh extra dungeon It’s shit no one cares about
>>738130816I really wonder how that came to be.I only recently managed to beat FF6 after literal decades of trying because the beginning is pretty damn boring and the only good quality Kefka has is that he is an asshole who abuses deus ex machina at any moment and then in the raped world there's nothing to him.
>>738122187Underrated isn't the best term for 8. Over hated would be better. Also he's right about 7 if you disagree isn't one of the best games in the series and one of the best JRPGs ever created you are a contrarian because it is objectively great in basically every single way.

>>738119785You're stupid as shit even by /v/'s standards
>>738119241Came here to say this. By far.
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.
>>738132956It needed the remake. All bad games need a do over.

>>738125306People 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.

>>738126329>>738134961A mystery for the ages...
>>738135093
>>738135093....the fuck is with the sonic minigame?
>>738131890maybe you should actually play the FF games.
>>738134179final fantasy never had open ended exploration.you are the brown one.
>>7381358310 for 2, monkey.
>>738119241I haven't played all of them, but 6 was the most underwhelming out of the ones i played.
>>738135808I've played nearly all of them. Play your 2nd FF game. X has some of the worst minigames in the series.
anon would you befriend a burmecian?
>>738136127not only does it have some of the best minigames, it also has most side content.
>>738136423Never mind let me change my previous statement. Play your FIRST FF game cause you've clearly never played X.
>>738136487I did its pretty great.
>>738136568It is great, it's the 2nd best game in the series. I'd rather kill myself than play blitzball again.
>>738131890What 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
>>738122035>>genuinely great and only pseudointellectual contrarians say otherwise to make themselves feel smart>7Im 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.
>>738120491>Ffx literally have no identity when it comes to wolrdbuilding and aestheticYou're fucking goofy it has probably the most original and cohesive plot of a FF.
>>738136898the story does in fact not suffer from it.
>>738137169>You're fucking goofy it has probably the most original and cohesive plot of a FF.I agree. I feel like X is the only FF game that has a story you could make into a hollywood film.
>>738133813>1/2 the series is overrated>Only adequately rated games are bad bar VI>All the underrated games are the worst in the series
>>738137169the 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.
>>738136898If 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.
>>738137835>a downgrade in every aspect from previous entriesnot true, the atmosphere/style (south east asia) is quite unique for the franchise and very beautiful, the world of spira is legitimately interesting to discover
>>738137835its much better than most ff games desu.>>738138223the 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.
>>738138810indeed, and it match also the south east asian thematic a lot, since that part of the world (irl) did have a lot of conflict related to religion (islam, christianity, buddhism etc...)
>>738137835The 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.
>>738140015schizo
Anyone who claims IV is even worth playing is overrating it, so on a scale of quality to praise it has the biggest gap
FFX is the only FF game worth playing and I played all of them except the MMOs, I, II, III
>>738140902X-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.
>>738140332It 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.
>>738122872I have a feeling that u never ever played any of the ff games besides 8.
>>738141139The TBC system literally doesn't function lmao.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.
>>738141139>X-2 is literally a better game. Better writinglmao
>>738142927I'll second that lmaoX-2 fags are delusional beyond belief or just being contrariansJust play FFV or Tactics if you love the Job systemX-2 has zero merit otherwise besides the cute girls
>>738143317It’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.
>>738119009X's post-game was easily the most arbitrary bullshit in the entire franchise>absolutely no chance whatsoever of succeeding without grinding in the monster arena>be forced to grind luck - a stat that's completely ignored throughout the entire main story>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>instant death attacks from so many enemies despite having BOTH deathproof and ribbon customized>dark aeons that require extremely specific armor builds which take either days of grinding of days of farming to acquire>no usable reward/prestige item WHATSOEVER for beating PenanceFucking bullshit And I did all of this on original hardware before speedup was available, it took nearly 300 hours
>>738138223>not true, the atmosphere/style (south east asia) is quite uniqueThe world style of I-IX were better. Different isn't inherently good, and the SEAmonkey + mesoamerica aesthetic wasn't good.
>>738145363Don't even get started on the missable bullshit.

>>738140332It's worth playing by virtue of FF4 DS version being one of the hardest mainline games. Ironic with the other versions being considered one of the easiest.
>>738143731It's not turn-based at all.
>>738145363>only drop the correct items when RNG is in the moodThey drop their correct items every time time except when you "luckily" get the rarer dark matter drop.

>>738126329It's the game that made me realize I'm gay.
>>738119009VI is by far the most overrated FF.
>>738146910>game good 10 replies >game bad 200 replies, 55 awards, 3 handshakes, 25 angry emojis, $800 donation to the OP
>>738145374>The world style of I-IX were betterdisagree, 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)>SEAmonkey + mesoamerica aesthetic wasn't goodsure buddy...
>>738146910>>738147961sum up this board perfectly well
>>738148027>sure buddy...Correct. Different for the sake of it isn't good, and FFX's aesthetic is boring and gay.
>>738120089>not anything by BethesdaBased. I also hate JRPGs.
>>738148963it's different and it's good
Yojimbo was the only thing that benefitted from FFX' style and looked good.
>>738119009It's absolutely 9, no question
6loved by all the jrpg haters because its the only one they gave a chance to as a kid
the battling in X is no fun
>>738150101>The characters are all so unlikable, annoying, and uncharismaticIt's the worst cast by far of all FFs, to a point where I feel like it's almost a sabotage from Nomura lol
>>738150420The turn based combat in FF games has always only ever been servicable at most. First one with good gameplay was Dissidia.
>>738150668>depictions of strangers who don't really know each other well and need to be forced to work together.Sounds like Vermintide 2, except the characters are interesting and entertaining in that game.
>>738150668Totally 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.
>>738119009>linear>blitzball sucks>trials suck ASS>minigames all suck ass>sphere grid is irritating at certain parts, cool when you realize how flexible it is even with just the free spheres you can find in the main game, and then extremely bad when you try to max everyone out (the cap should have been 999 for spheres in inventory, not 99, and there should have been an auto-fill option).>monster arena is bad>monster capturing is excessively tedious>post-game content is extremely weak: one new dungeon>no true worldmap exploring, instead you have to just look up locations>ultimate weapons are a slog locked behind shitty minigames>also they suck compared to what you can make yourself>final bosses become mainly a stat check rather than requiring strategyI 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.
