I happen to be playing it for the first time. The pacing in WoB was off, but WoR is kino so far, definitely the best part of the game.
>>
>>12501634
Imagine actually believing this
>>
>>12501645
The first part takes way too long to introduce the magicite mechanic
>>
>>12501645
the pacing is not off, you are drinking poo
>>
>>12501663
It takes like 20 hours to get to the job system
>>
>>12501665
who told you that you had to get to the job system sooner and why is that your concern
>>
>>12501667
Well it is a problem because you don't even have the opportunity to get the stat boosts while you're leveling up in those first 20 hours. Game is easy enough as it is I guess, but still.
>>
>>12501669
nothing was promised to you, this game has its own path

It's a very easy game but every now and then you get retards like pic related

Lmao

>>12501645
WoR is when the game falls off and gets boring.
>>
No, 5, 7, 8, 9, and even 10 are better.
Pretty fucking good though, beaten it 3x, I just never enjoyed it as much as those.
>>
>>12501926
5 has to be the most overrated FF

it's good, but i dont know why its such a high pedastal

the sprites, music, story and world are all a downgrade from 4, literally the only saving grace is the job system and grinding them becomes a chore
>>
>>12501930
I really can't explain it objectively. I enjoy 5, it's a nice colorful romp with some silly humor. I enjoy playing it more than I enjoy 6, simple as that. I'm not even that enamored with the job system.

it’s your taste, homie. you don’t have to justify it. 6 is not your cup of tea. it is for me since it was the forst rpg i played, as 3 on snes on christmas morning. with the snowy shit in the beginning and it had been snowing in real life, it was amazing. the music was blowing my mind

thanks, i was waiting for that all night. it just sat there, nobody bothered to take it

It was the most played game of my childhood for sure. I don't have any ambition to go back and play it though. Probably because of my crippling depression and degenerate alcoholism.
>>
>>12501930
4 is dogshit in almost every single way and I'm tired of pretending its not.
>>
>>12501580
It's alright. It has great music and graphics. The story is mediocre, as it always is in every FF.
>>
>>12501580
Nope, FF12 is the best
>>
>>12501580
FFVI is my favorite, followed by FFVII and FFIV. FFV is close behind those two. I think IV through IX is the peak of the series.
>>
>>12502270
12 is good but it’s nowhere near the best. The gambit system just trivializes everything and the story is just final fantasy Star Wars
>>
>>12501580
This game gave me the worst post-game depression I've ever had. Only the Lunar games probably matched the emptiness I felt after beating them.
>>
>>12501580
It's extremely evocative. I can't believe square didn't market more merch for it. As a kid I really wanted a set of toys of the cast.
>>
>>12501580
Can't be when it takes about 1/3 of the game to get good and about 2/3 to get really good

It's also infinitely customizable thanks to the job system.

It’s good from the beginning you slack jawed philistine

you've convinced me. not really but still

Not really, no.

It's pretty cool but prepare yourself for nonlinearity
>>
>>12501665
There is no job system dumbass, you mean the magic system.
>>
>>12506931
Explain then
>>
>>12507793
I like nonlinearity
>>12507795
It's a glorified job system. There are other RPGs with job systems that function exactly the same.
>>
>>12501634
Yeah I agree II is the worst of the first six
>inb4 the fag who posts the screenshot collages
>>
>>12508167
It doesn’t work like a job system at all. Generally, when you switch jobs/classes, you don’t retain all of the stats/abilities you would have otherwise. In VI, once you learn the magic and obtain whatever stat boosts it give you, your character has it permanently no matter what magicite you have equipped.
>>
>>12508179
That's exactly how the job system in Dragon Quest VI works and I'm pretty sure other DQ games
>>
>>12508198
That’s not how it works in DQ III, not the NES version at least. Never played VI, I think I’m starting to understand why that isn’t one of the more acclaimed entries. That also came out after FF VI, so not really valid.
>>
>>12508228
It's been 10+ years since I played it but in DQVI you slap on a job title for a few levels and after a while the skills tied to that job become pernanent. So if you switch to another job you get to keep the skills and spells from the other job. I can't remember if stat bonuses also carry over but at least skills-wise it's exactly how it works with espers in FFVI. DQVI is one of my favorite DQ games btw.
>>
>>12501580
The V should be an X.
>>
>>12501658
Because at that point in the game you'll be raping everything anyways, if you had been using that since the beginning you'd be raping everything to death. You become op in this game by just playing it normally. My 1st playthrough I didn't even bother with it because battles were way too easy.

The tower is kind of horseshit if you try to do it the "right" way, make it all the way to the top grinding out the excessive number of random battles for like 45 minutes using magic only and beat the boss just to get nuked by the dead man's switch ultima. That was a pretty fucking cheesy setup.
>just use life 3 bro
Yeah but how the fuck would you know that spell was obligatory without consulting a guide first? The tower is obviously an endgame thing but so is the phoenix cave and if anything you're likely to leave the cave for last since it's a dungeon that requires multiple parties whereas the tower only requires 1. But you have to do the cave first and then grind out the life 3 spell before attempting the tower (which can be done during the tower itself but again, you kind of have to know the deal and plan ahead).

Of course, now I just slap on the moogle boots and run for the roof because fuck random encounters. But for people attempting a blind playthrough this was kind of a brutal dick move because you are almost guaranteed to get killed by a boss you already beat after a long-ass grind with no opportunity to save. And yes, it did happen to me the first time. Still mad about it.
