Is it worth playing at all? Never played it in my life.
>>738528189I guess? I'd play some older FFs first, though.
Yeah it's kino
>>738528189dropped the game after 5hours. then I watched the story recap on youtube and Im glad I did cuz that game is not worth your time. one of the worst stories in gaming.
I played it for the first time a month ago and loved it.
>>738528189>any JRPG>worth playingLmao no
>>738528350Way to out yourself as gen alpha.
>>738528189Absolutely.One of the best games of all time. Full of soul.
I remember it had these annoying ass orb-puzzle moments one of them took me like an hour
>>738528189You'll enjoy the music and atmosphere. Relax.
>>738529574https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC1VmGXiEFw
>>738528189ffx is objectivelythe best final fantasy,best jrpg,best game on the ps2,best 6th generation jrpg,best 6th generation game,and one of the most influential game of all time
>>738529735sounds like shit when not played through a cheap plasma tv
FFX is extremely linear and half the game feels like a tutorial. But if you can stomach the terrible cutscenes it hasn't aged terribly.
>>738528189If you're the type to ask /v/? No, definitely not.
>>738528189If you like cuckshit, shit characters and shit endings then yeah you'll like this
FFX was the last real Final Fantasy game with that name. I'll argue Bravely Default is the latest Final Fantasy game with a different name. The loss of a world map and its Point A to Point B story, and of course its voice acting was unfortunate, but the rest of it is still amazing. Probably the easiest FF for the "modern audience" to get into as well.
>>738528189>Born in 86>loved FF VI>VII>VIII>stopped caring about ff>years later see X, want to try it. I cannot stop comparing it with thr previous gamesAnd the new FF games are even worse, the magic is gone.
>>738531615Try out the first two golden sun games
>>738528189Yeah, if you like cinematic JRPGs it's one of the best. Have you played other FF games? X is a good one to start with, but if you've played any of the PSX ones you'll know what to expect.
>>738528189it has the best combat of the 4 niggas in a row style of FF game imothe story is very good as well, it was the first thing I ever consoomed where I felt invested in a romantic plotline.
>>738528189Yes. Great story, characters, music. The only complaint is outside one boss being a difficulty spike its hands down the easiest final fantasy.But its still worth playing then feeling sad you will never experience another world like Spira.
>>738528189If you like corridors and lame naive stories yeah I guess
>>738528189It is, but forget about the endgame side-content.
>>738528189Very aesthetic and one of the best Final Fantasy games. But it is a classic-style JRPG with menu combat and grinding random encounters is necessary to properly progress through the game. If you're okay with that, it's a good game.
All games from FFIV to FFX aren't just worth playing, they are a MUST play. OG games of course.
>>738533329I mention the grind specifically bc Gen Alpha and some Gen Zers will have no patience for that but the game fucking rocks otherwise
>>738530308Ok, but what does he think of Blitzball? Otherwise, he is not being completely honest
Best FF
>>738533331This, OP.Remasters are okay but avoid remakes.
>>738528189>ProsSphere grid is the 2nd best system of the series behind materiaAlmost the entire party is likeable and 99% of the voice acting is incredibly goodUnless you power level battles actually require some thought besides mindlessly pressing AttackTied for the best story of the series with FF7. The whole summoner thing is very well written and Yuna is the best girl in the series >ConsJrpg gameplay in general isn't great and X is no exceptionThe first hallway simulator FF where they don't even pretend to have a world to explore. You are quite literally running from point A to B in a near straight lineRelated to the above, there's no dungeons to explore just some boring cloisters of trials There are barely any minigames. Blitz ball fucking sucks.Tidus is one of the worst characters in the franchise and he feels like he's from an entirely different game. He sums up everything that went wrong with Square. Also his VA is awful for the role.
>>738528189the only person i have ever seen talk negative about it was spoony
>>738534198>Tidus is one of the worst characters in the franchise and he feels like he's from an entirely different game. He sums up everything that went wrong with Square. Also his VA is awful for the role.Shit tasteHe's a way better MC than Cloud or SquallAnd his voice actor fits him perfectly
Should I emulate or pc port?
>>738528350>one of the worst stories in gaming.try playing more than 3 games in your life
>>738528350First ff game I played as a kid didnt know anything about it and its one of my favorite games of all time I printed out 100s of pages from Game FAQs to get the entire game guide and got the celestial weapons damage limit breakers ect. The game still leaves a lasting memory on my 30s year old self. I am also a chad today so you really screwed yourself by not playing the rest of the game man
>>738534872When you emulate it there are a couple of bugs you need to change some specific settings for. If you've seen that webm of Auron running away into the sky during a fight then that bug will happen constantly if you don't change the settings.So you might just want to play the port. Some people don't like the graphical changes, but I don't really give a shit.
>>738534872if you emulate get the international japanese version, the NTSC version lacks a bunch of extra content and the PAL version is 50hz
>>738531523I love the voice acting in FFX, you dont know kino
>>738528189Yes, it's the best FF to date. Except maybe for the tactics series if you're more into TRPGs
>>738528189really good, but you need lots of free time to actually enjoy it
Everyone sees the first FF they played as the "best", but they realize it makes them look nostalgia-biased and try to front-run that by saying "btw I also played this, this, and that before it (so you know my judgement is le objective ;^)"
>>738534872play the port but install mods to replace the music and character models with the PS2 ones
>>738539771I played VII, VIII, and IX before X and I thought X blew all three out of the water, honestly.
I enjoyed the characters, story, and atmosphere but it just isn't very fun to play. No exploration, high encounter rate, 0 difficulty for 85% of the game, and an incredibly poor handling of postgame content. At least it has cute girls.
>>738541643I played this game for the first time right as I was hitting puberty and I wanted to fuck Rikku so badly
>>738528189Worth? No. It's the most overrated FF game after XIII. The only people who really like it are those that grew up with it same with Kingdom Farts.
>>738542045>XIII>overratedbro wat loleveryone fucking hates that game
>>738528189Yes, but don't make the mistake of playing the shitty HD port
>>738542210And it's still overrated among the FF games.
>>738542317no it's not, pretty much everyone hated itif you wanna talk about overrated, VII is the best example. game is mid as fuck but is fellated so much.
>>738528189If you like niggas in a row and have enough IQ to appreciate a story, it's one of the best games ever made.
>>738531615>loved 6, 7, and 8>hated 10Why is your taste so shit?
>>738540483This, the world looks better on the HD remaster. But the characters look somehow worse. Except for LuLu you can tell they put more effort in her ;)
>>738542280Tidus and Yuna's new faces were criminal. Damn they're so bad looking.
>>738534198>materia>good>best story>7
>>738542424IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, XI, and XII are all better than X.
>>738529019>Full of soulThis, none of the FF games made after this did nothing for me.
>>738535967it's the awkward silence between each sentence that kills itwhen two people talk to each other, it's like they wait for their turn and wait an additional 2 seconds before speaking
>>738528350>Worst stories in gaming Bit of a stretch there
>>738534198based and 100% truth.
>>738542641I'd like to see the same voice actors redo the whole story with some more modern voice direction. Tidus and Yuna's VAs sound a lot more natural in WoFF.https://youtu.be/HrO2cKCtA3M
>>738533224Macalania forrest at night on the HD version. Fuark, take me back bros, I want to go back.
>>738534198>Sphere grid is the 2nd best system of the series behind materialolThe best system in FF is V and it's not even close. Everything after that pales in comparison. Also, materia sucked. Spent half my time playing in menus equipping and unequipping and sorting through materia
>>738542280doing god's work
>>738534198I love the sphere grid, but man I've done so many No Sphere Grid runs of FFX that I can't go back to using it without feeling like I'm cheating.
>>738542457>, the world looks better on the HD remaster.No it doesn't. They only thing you can really say they improved are the tiny amount of pre-rendered backgrounds that the game has because at 16:9 they aren't stretched, and if someone hasn't already you could make a mod for this if you're emulating the original game.FMVs were cropped so they look worse, all background textures are worse, characters and animations are worse. It's just a worse looking game.
>>738543685what's your opinion on the whole soundtrack being "remastered"?
>>738544396nta but the new soundtrack sounds like shit. the horn part at the beginning of the battle theme comes to mind. it sounds very like 90s Windows MIDI or something.
>>738544396Everything I've heard of it sounds worse and the original was good so I'd say the original is the way to go. I haven't listened to it all though.
>>738528189It is if you like the genre. FFX is the best game in the series.
>>738528189It's good but the end is really, really long and boring
>>738528189>is the best game of all time worth playing at all
>>738544468I disagree. Original sounds more midi than remaster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZzQLHdMkQchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QRzZ9rsMxYI still prefer he original though.
>>738545602shit I was wrong.but yeah old still sounds better to me.
FFX is a product of its time. It was a PS2's power showcase, but as a game its inferior to IX in every aspect but graphics.
>>738544396the soundtrack isn't a big problem because the original soundtrack is an option in the remasters. the problem is the models. the original PS2 models were actually very expressive for their time. The new ones make everyone look like a wooden puppet. They're awful, and there's no option to change them.
>>738528189I got it cheap and the intro was cool but the first real section of the game made me quit almost immediately. My loss, yeah yeah.
>>738545564Ironically fitting reaction gif>>738545745>but graphic fidelityIn every other way IX's graphics are superior
>>738545602The most important part (00:43) sounds fantastic in the remaster but while I like it it's not something I'd want to listen to the entire game, it sounds like a special battle edition or something.
>>738528189It's the only final fantasy I've ever 100%'d along with X2. Highly recommend
It's worth playing once or twice for the experience. It's super linear and that helps the storytelling but the side and end content are shit.
this always comes to mind when I think about the remastered musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RC1VmGXiEFwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an-JUAAkm-E
>>738534198>Tidus is one of the worst characters in the franchise and he feels like he's from an entirely different game.Another pleb filtered and got their opinion bird fed to them by /v/ and the laughing meme. Tidus is unironically one of the greatest, if not greatest, FF protagonists in the series.
>>738546046where did the percussion go
>>738546181I'll never understand the hate boner some people have for TidusIt's like they started the game, played it for a few hours, and then stopped and declared him the worst main character based completely on his early game personalityThat or they hate character development I guess
>>738546046square has been a dogshit company for so long, their longevity is impressive
>>738543608>No Sphere Grid runs of FFXThat sounds like it'd take days to beat until maybe you get Rikku.
The side and post-game content in FFX is some of the worst in the series. They REALLY tried to overcompensate for the game's linearity.
>>738546181>>738546350Nah, you both have shit taste. Tidus is the worst mainline protagonist in all of FF.
>>738548170explain how
>>738548145I liked the monster arena a lot. Blizball fucking sucks though. And the repetitive tasks to get the ultimate weapons mostly sucked.
>>738530308He basically call FF a turd series, lmao.
>>738528189It won't blow your mind from a gameplay or story perspective, but it's still revolutionary in terms of presentation.
>>738528189It's got absolutely nothing to do with final fantasy.Even as its own game it's not good at all. It's extremely well presented, but it's utterly nonsensical, the gameplay is completely unbalanced because despite giving you the option to choose any character you want, if you don't choose the correct ones you can't proceed.The weapon system makes absolutely no sense because you can't tell if one is stronger than another.And the actual dungeon layouts are literal straight lines or open areas where you have to walk from point a to point b.The story makes no sense after an hour or 2.The only good thing about it is the music.
just beat it a week ago for the first time and it was superb.
>>738528189It's the last Sakaguchi FF game, which means its the last game with soulssorry FF12 fans but that game has only half a soul at best
>>738528350>hen I watched the story recap on youtubekys
>>738528189Yeah. Has one of the most interesting settings in vidya
soccer in final fantasy was a repulsive low, X references the existence of soccer which reduces its qualitythe game and the battles are linear in a way that final fantasy never suffered from, its even simpler than pokemon in some waysI also feel that certain art styles get obsolete a lot faster than others, its why xenogears (and this game) look like hot garbage even though it was quite good at the timethat being said its still a final fantasy and it invented the 'wheel of false choices' you see in so many rpgs nowjust dont start with this one if you want an old school rpg. 456789 are all slightly better entry points
>>738550027>xenogears (and this game)How dare you compare Kinogears vs this overrated, normalfaggot pandering piece of shit.
>>738528350Boy you really pissed off all the uncslop enjoyers with the Youtube recap thing huh
>>738549580this is the right answer12 is good but is missing that special something that 10 and the previous games hadbut I do like how much 10 makes queers seethe ;)
>>738551353At least FFX feels like a somewhat finished product; full of weird compromises, sure, but at least still finished.. Xenogears is just an amateurish, half-baked mess.
>>738551650Filtered.Unfinished masterpieces are still displayed in museums.Finished trash isn't.
>>738551750based and MGSV-pilled
>>738528189It's linear and has rock paper scissors turn based combat. It's shit. People seem to like the tropical theme though
>>738551750Yeah, man. I sure look forward to major plot points being summarized in Spark Notes slide shows when I play a JRPG.
what part of ffx is unfinished? i didn't notice any obvious cut content.
>>738553967no one said that.
>>738554024o i misread the post
>>738542737Shame this game is never getting that sequel it baited
>>738549458What the fuck are you even talking about? You dont choose characters, you seamlessly cycle them in and out as needed mid battle. The weapons all clearly state what they do and what buffs they come with. The story is also arguably one of, if not the most straightforward stories in the whole FF series. The next time you feel the need to critique something, consider lobotomizing yourself with a shotgun instead
>>738553967It's less "unfinished" and more a mass of compromises stemming from FFX being an early PS2 title. Things like the lack of a world map and the dungeons being split between combat hallways and cloisters of trials are almost certainly a byproduct of the FFX team not quite knowing how pull off the series' usual formula at the fidelity level they wanted on the PS2. Then there's the overwrought, time-wasting side content. It feels like a knee jerk reaction by the devs, who realized the game was way too linear and needed some semblance of "exploration" and backtracking.
>>738528189No. Play the 10/10 FFXVI instead.
>>738554481this is bait. 16 is even worse than 15 or 13.
>>738528189It is the last good Final Fantasy game and the swan song to the series. FFX ended the golden age of Final Fantasy where it was THE most cutting edge series out there on consoles.Absolutely recommend, it is fantastic.
>>738554531Maybe on Planet Retard
>>738554558XI and XII are much better than X though
>>738554635XI is a fucking MMO and not even a good one.XII is an offline MMO with a story that is stolen from Star Wars except the execs were so retarded they forced them to change the MC at the last minute and now the story is about someone who has nothing to do with the game. XII also has fucking auto combat with conditionals like like a CRPG which is just hilarious to me. Good music, good graphics, good artstyle though.There isn't a world where you can argue any of the games that came after X are better than it. They've all been worse.
Keep in mind that the people who praise this game are thinking of maybe five moments in the entire 50 hours experience that they like. They're ignoring 49 hours and thirty minutes of tedious, annoying garbage.
>>738554748>XII is Star WarsNot this shit again.
>>738554748Eh, OG FFXII definitely sucked, but I'd easily rank Zodiac Age over FFX.
>>738554817X-fags always sing the same tuneThey never played an FF before or since but love to shittalk them all
>>738554759The game consistently has the best combat of the entire series with a ton of content and minigames. More like people who hate it think of one or two cutscenes and think the entire game is like that even though Tidus turns out to be one of the best protags of the series (Yes, I don't like his design that much either. Peak 2000s bullshit).
>>738554872>>738554817Look, just because you wanna fuck chewbaca in this version doesn't mean you need to be upset. I wanna fuck her too.
>>738554845OG is better since it's an open license board and not modern handholding slop
>>738554759>doesn't like game>this must mean everyone else hates the gameplay like I doRetard take. You don't need to grind in this game, except maybe before the "boss spike" on Mt. Gagazet, but if it's not your first playthrough you probably are prepared. The trials aren't complicated if your aren't an idiot. If you didn't like the gameplay why would you spend 50 hours playing it then?
>>738554635i just played x and xii back to back and xii is definitely not as good as x.
>>738554927More like a directionless shitshow that incentivizes you to make everyone a self-healing katana wielder who can function entirely off gambit cheesing by the late game. Also, playing the game without fast-forward is torture. I legit fell asleep multiple times during the Sandsea dungeon because of how slow and boring it was.
>>738554748it's the best MMO ever made
>>738555074>handholding is le goodplay it again if you didn't do it right the first time
>>738554893>The best combat in the seriesWhat the fuck does that even mean in the context of a JRPG? Most of your battles are over in three turns. Are you talking about boss fights? Their not good, they're just tedious because of switching characters. Almost all of them can be cheesed with Aeon overdrives. So what you really mean when you're talking about "best combat" is the endgame superbosses, which basically require you to grind full sphere grids for everybody. That's not fun.>ton of content and minigamesIt has the worst fucking minigames in the entire series.>Tidus turns out to be one of the best protags in the seriesNo, he starts out retarded and he ends retarded. He never stops being obnoxious, and he's always a pussy. Maybe that's why you like him, he's you.>>738555004Who the fuck are you talking to? Why is your response about something I didn't even say?
>>738551416if you told me you chopped your dick off, I would reply with the same fervor. if that’s what you call being mad, you’re welcome to test the theory.
>>738555169>job systems are handholdingThey're literally an older system in the series than open-ended character progression.
>>738554912Stop getting your opinions from loudmouth youtubers and play a game for once in your life.
>>738555281okay but it's a different game which gives it a different experience
>>73855458215 is definitely better than both and if you held a gun to my head yeah I’d probably pick 13 over 16. at least 13 plays itself
>>738555229>No, he starts out retarded and he ends retarded. He never stops being obnoxious, and he's always a pussy.You either didnt actually play the game or you are arguing completely disingenuously and in bad faith.
>>738555340Yeah, a worse experience. Systems like jobs, Espers, and Materia gave you some sense of direction when it came to combat roles and capabilities. With the old license board, you literally had no information about which character should specialize in what licenses without gleaning online guides. Sure, you could spend hundreds of hours dicking around with weird builds, but I reckon most people just wanna beat the fucking game and have fun with the character progression - not run into a bad case of late game speccing regret.
>>738555275>something something TRANNIESDiddy uncs are so goofy man :skull:
>>738555440>Wah! You're arguing in bad faith!The coward's response. Instead of actually countering my words, you're just going to claim I "didn't play the game", then run away.
>>738528189>Boomer writingGet to Zanarkand. Defeat Sin. FFX's storyline is weak and predictable
>>738555769Theres no need for me to engage if youre just going to troll. Pretending there's no character development for the MC is too obvious, you blew your wad too early. 2/10 try harder next time.
>>738555560Sure but those are casuals who don't want the superior experience so I don't care about them
>>738554481Based. XVI is the best Final Fantasy by a mile.
>>738528189If you happen to play the PC version, do yourself a favor and install the "Restore PS2" series of mod made by vyacharin.
>>738556116No. They're just not autistic masochists who enjoy dabbling in shitty builds for dozens of hours before finding something viable.
>>738549458Half of this shit is actually just wrong. Weapons are straightforward in what they do, and you use your whole team in battle. There are like 3 battles in the whole game you don't have the whole team for once you get themEvery character can do anything even at the halfway point except Yuna so it doesn't matter>>738554872I have played through all of them up to 10 and just finished 10 this week, it was Kino, definitely top 3
>>738528350>one of the worst stories in gaming.weak bait fag
>>738555229>I must play the most optimized way for every fight because it exists even if it takes the fun out of itYou can also level to 99 in the first area patriciantv.
i played the original ff12 20 years ago and the remaster recently and i didn't even notice the job system was different desu
Yes
>>738550027>its why xenogears (and this game) look like hot garbage>filtered
It’s good, if a bit overratedIt’s better than 13, 12 and 15 but worse than 7, 9 or 6
