How would you rank Final Fantasy 3, 4, 5 and 6? Which is your favorite and which is your least favorite? I'm in the process of replaying all 4.(I know there's no real connection between them, I just group them together because they're the 1990s series entries before FF7/the 3D era)
>>41317527/10, 9/10, 10/10, 5/10There's just such a steep drop in gameplay quality with 6.
>>41317526 and 3 were good for what they were
>>4131752Personally, I'd go6 > 4 >= 5 > 3
>>4131752FF3:Story -- 3/10Combat -- 7/10Nostalgia factor -- N/AOverall: 5/10FF4:Story -- 6/10Combat -- 5/10Nostalgia factor -- 8/10Overall: 7/10FF5:Story -- 4/10Combat: 9/10Nostalgia factor -- 6/10Overall: 8/10FF6:Story -- 8/10Combat -- 8/10Nostalgia factor -- 8/10Overall: 9/10But my fat ass is biased, so there.
>>4131756Ah yes! the series peak FF6, is a 5/10 game.
4>6>>5>>>>>3.
>>4132110FF6 is not the peak of the series, not even close.
>>4131756All the games are boring and piss easy garbage.
>>4132441I agree but many consider it the best pixel ff. I also didn't enjoy the gameplay despite everythibg else being good
>>4133092Would love to see what jrpgs you enjoy if you’re not trolling and can genuinely answer
>>41317525 >> 3 > 6 >>>>> 4
>>4133340this ranking sounds about right, though I would move 6 up, at least that game doesn't demand you to play the game exactly like the devs wanted you to and you're free to build a bals to the wall team.
>>4131752I finished 4 on PSP, and came to a dire realization that the only reason why FF games are popular is bacuse they are the prototype for modern movie games.No character creation, no dialogue choices, no party customization, copletely linear plot. Stroy is basic nonsense that follows the core japanese writing principle of "and then, and then, and then, and then...". Environemnt is uninteractive. "Secrets" are obvious and in open sight, they boil down to "that particuar sword that kills this particular boss" instead of something fun. And it was piss easy, you just turn on auto battle and turn your brain off.Honestly total waste of time.FF3 on NES is archaic, and the 3D remake is shit, so it was an obvious skip.Next is FF5 on SNES. I was already prepared that it's going to be piss easy, so I downloaded hard-type mod and another mod which shows classes sprites for your character on a overworld map. And you know what? It was still piss easy. People glaze this game all the time for teh job system, but playing makes it obvious that all classes are poorly balanced. Meta classes from preivous games are still meta in FF5. Experimentl classes are dogshit, and force you to grind skills for little to no pay off. So how was this dissonance balanced out? By making the game piss easy so much so that you can beat it even without picking any class at all. Plot was just generic isekai templete where random neet is chosen to be chosen one and gets harem of bitches for free. I was so bored so I turned one of my party members into a zombie. Played like this for few hours then I quit.And last is FF6. Main character is feMC so you know story is gonna be boring, I also got spoiled the final boss so there were so suprises waiting for me. And since none of the issues of previous two games were addressed I quit after few hours hoping to find a mod that will "fix the game".But I never came back to it and I never will.
>>4133434Final Fantasy games have funadmental issue that healing doesn't have any meaningful costs, so by using white magic battles devolve into "attack, attack, heal", turing you essaentailly immortal and making combat into a repetative slog. Even ressurecting your party members costs next to nothing.Also the story quest is completely linear in each game. "Go to town A and talk to NPC 5, now go to town B and talk to NPC 9, now go town C and-" Holy shit can't I have a choice of what I wanna do next for once? Is this really an RPG?I am not gonna play any FF game again, especially now that SEnix is obsessed with making the male MC look like an androgynous lesbian. If you were born during time when 3D games running at 60 fps were already a thing, you will start looking people who fanatically masturabate to SquareSoft games in public spaces as metally degraded retards.I wish all american millenials died in Iraq so that now I wouldn't have to spend every day reading "hurr durr final fantasy has changed my life and my gender" on this board.
>>4133435>If you were born during time when 3D games running at 60 fps were already a thingWe had this in the 90s on our computers, dumb dumb.
>>4133441If you had a computer in the 90s you wouldn't be stuck playing final fantasy
>>4133462>If you had a computer in the 90s you wouldn't be stuck playing final fantasyI dropped Final Fantasy almost 25 years ago. And you’re wrong, shitloads of people were primarily computer gamers and got into the series with FF7, which was wildly popular.
>>4131752My favorite entry is IX. FFIX > FFVI > FFIV > FFV > FFIIIFor story and atmosphere: FFVI (best overall) and FFIV (a solid classic).For gameplay and freedom: FFV (best job system).For the history of the series: FFIII (important, but dated).
>>41317524>3=5>>>6
>>4131752Of the 4 you mentioned:6 > 4 > 5 > 3
>>4131752Six is the best even if it's combat and bugs left a portion of it slightly undercooked. At the end of the day, JRPG combat is not that deep, and the sheer variety of character skills, esper summons, magic, and boss mechanics still gives it plenty of substance.Following all of the strengths of six on a downward scale, Four is the next best, then Five, and Three is last. Three is quickly the worst of all Final Fantasy before VII. Five is alright if the plot didn't have the beat of an abridged saturday morning cartoon. Four is just aged behind Six.Simple as.
>>4136135>Three is quickly the worst of all Final Fantasy before VII*laughs in 2*
>>4131752I really dislike probably us 6 > 5 > 4 > 3 for me.I think 3 is the worst of the NES games though.
>>41361382 is great game
