Official Final Fantasy Thread | XII is the GOAT

Vii is kinda overrated.

Viii is my favorite tho
To me VII had a better story. I also hated that in VIII, all of the monsters would stay on par with your level. In a game where I grind so hard, I want to see the fruits of my labor by whooping some *** in an area that I previously had difficulty with.
I like that portion of the game

X was very good but the lack of a world map killed it for me. Used to be on Blitzball like crazy.
I agree with this
 
Copped the iPad mini 4 recently..thinking about getting this:

 
8 is so slept on to me. I'm glad others have similar feelings.

7 is overhyped as hell but still good.
 
i like the R=U theory

Final fantasy 2 and 6 are to me the top ff

Ff7 is very overated.



Ff mystic quest doesnt get the love it should
 
Around how many hours would you guys say it takes to beat FF7?

Just the main story

What server are you on?

I had to quit after doing A4 Savage. Just don't have the time anymore. A3 Savage took too much out of me and my raid. :{

Brynhildr. I just finished Alex normal 2 weeks ago. I didn't like it so I'm not in a rush to do Alex Savage. I Tank(WAR) so the pressure is insane especially as a WAR keeping yourself alive. My play is casually but it still feels like a life away from life. Soon as I log in its Ex roulette, Leveling roulette for (healer or another tank), crafting, gathering, someone in the FC needs a tank for clear blah blah blah. The time sink is real.

I've heard A3 and A4 are 2 of the worst raids in terms of fun because there was no margin for error.

I'm on Behemoth. A3 savage was especially brutal. A4 was less so. The time sink is real and you've got to commit to it daily if you're doing high end raiding so you can get your tomes and keep up with gear. It just got to be more work than it was fun. If I ever get enough free time again I'll probably come back.

I think you were the NTer that put me on to MTQ when I first started the game and had healers rage quitting Satasha nm in my blm. I watch her stuff religiously (even for content I'm not up to yet for the puns).

Do you raid with her?

A few people from my FC take breaks after clearing hardcore content so I hear you.

Yeah, I was part of her old raid group. We did Coil 1-13 together. My schedule didn't allow me to continue with them for the expansion so I swapped FC's. We're good friends outside of the game though. She's a Twitch partner so I mod for her Twitch when I get the chance. If you've stopped by her channel you've certainly seen me in there. If you haven't, she streams XIV and other stuff like 3-4x a week so if you haven't checked out her Twitch you should.

Any forest should work. Just as long as you go through the mine before heading to Junon.

The important thing is just to make sure you answer the right questions for her to join you.
 
7 is a very easy choice to pick as the best, esp if you were a kid who grew up playing older final fantasy games on NES then SNES.

the big jump from NES/SNES graphics to the PSX graphics and when the full motion movies came on was mind blowing! i remember playing the game not being able to wait until the next FMV cut scene. it really locked players in to continue the game/story.

it made people who didnt play rpgs easily get into it i think.

i still like VI... (final fantasy 3) the best on the snes. just the overall game play and secret items and all the characters and fighting and magic system. and all the variety and customization with the items and relics.

7 just came at the right time during that big jump in gaming technology. im sure ill get flack, but i think if any final fantasy story so far was made at that time and called it FFVII would also be the favorite pick so i can see why some would call it overrated. but no denying, FF7 really was the most game changing. everything after, our eyes are already used to 3d graphics and full motion movies.
 
:smokin Best video game series of all time

Good points made, fellas. VII is very overrated but i have to admit. From beginning to finish, no other installment was better. XIII gets alot of unwarranted hate. It's the best looking installment to date, the music was excellent and "Lightning Returns" battle system is the best one to date.
 
I completely disagree with VII being overrated. It had the best soundtrack, the best gameplay, the characters are all dope and I care about them all...

I mean to me it lives up to any hype it received. The trendy thing was to pretend like you didn't like it back in like 2002 or so. Like please the game is dope.

What ff can you say was better? Vi? What else...? That's it? Then it's a dope game. Period. One of the best ever.

Can you put it in the same category as ct? Yeah? So then how is it overrated??

The argument:

It's broken. It's easy. But vi isn't?
Well all the characters are the same because of the system.
But vi isn't?
Well...well...kefka destroyed the world!!!
Ok and? You wanted the same exact story in VII?

Well the game is linear!
Like X?

Well it's nostalgia!
Like vi?

I'm trying to figure out how VII is overrated and it's not a shot at anyone here but just in general. I've played 3-10, 13, ct, parasite eve, brave fencer musashi, etc etc
And this game is a classic and can go toe to toe with any video game regardless of genre. This is one of the best games of all time point blank period.
 
i also don't get how vi is a better game than VII. Vi is fire. The soundtrack is fire. The story is decent the battles are fire, final boss, etc.

But what makes it better?

And there is nothing in iv that is better than vi or VII.
I didn't like VIII like that. IX was dope but is not equal to vi or VII IMHO.
X was the last good one IMO and it's not as good as the ones before it.

Can anyone here honestly say that 1-5 are better than 7? Can you say that 9 or 10 are better than 7?

Probably not. The one ppl bring up the most to **** on 7 is 6 so if that's all you got then 7 isn't overrated you're just mad that 6 doesn't get the love you feel it deserves. That's not ffVII's fault. It's not the games fault that it had fmv's and a super bowl commercial and that it came out on the psx and wasn't a cartridge.

I'm stuck on a3 and pretty much had the same experience. The time you need to put in is real. I prefer it to the easier content though so I hope they don't dial it back for the next raid tier.
